that like button comment something
insightful down below and make sure you
subscribe to the channel the winner will
be announced for a custom built drop
shipping store built by me and my team
at outright ecom in my next week's video
let's get straight into this all right
so first things first load up your
computer go over to google and type in
shopify.com or hit the link in my
description if you guys want an extended
free trial click on shopify and click
start free trial
go ahead and type in your email and
create a password i recommend creating a
brand new gmail account as it is easier
to keep all your business stuff in one
place instead of cluttering it in with
your personal emails
and create your store name and honestly
this part doesn't really matter because
you can always go back and change the
name and purchase a new domain name
later so for now i'm just going to call
this
nathan's first store not actually my
first store but that's what we're
calling it shopify is going to go ahead
and ask you a few questions whether
you're just starting out or if you're
already selling
what you can do is just go ahead and
skip this entire part as it's not super
necessary in the beginning and you don't
really need to answer those questions
however you do need to put in your
country and then hit enter my store so
if you made it to this part you actually
made it farther than 99 of people who
say they're gonna start an online
business you now have your own dashboard
and storefront with shopify so the home
page here is basically going to prompt
you to complete a bunch of steps in
order to get your store up and running
next thing we have an orders tab over
here which is going to track and manage
all the orders that are going to be
coming through later the next one we
have products where you're going to be
managing the different products and
inventory that you have the customer tab
where you're gonna control everything
that's customer related in one single
place analytics where you're gonna see
the daily view you know how much you're
making your average order value
conversion rates all that important
stuff a marketing channel we're going to
keep track of all the different ways
you're marketing on your store discount
codes if you want to make unique
discount codes for certain people to
shop and lastly but most importantly the
online store sales channel itself where
you're going to be creating the website
choosing the theme adding blog posts if
that's what you want creating other
pages like a contact us and a track your
order page making the navigation menus
and the footer menus different
preferences about your store and just
before we jump into actually building a
store i do want to run you through just
the most important things that you
should fix up on your settings so the
first thing over here in store details
you want to change the currency to usd i
mean
90 of my customers i would say come from
the united states and if you're on the
same boat i would recommend having your
currency set to usd
[Music]
and just go ahead and click save
besides that you can start to fill out
your billing information so they can
bill you eventually when you get off of
the free trial you can start to set up
staff accounts if you're working on this
business with somebody else you can
start to set up your bank account so
that they can actually pay you when you
make orders and beyond that there's not
a whole lot that we need to do in the
very beginning in the settings so now
it's time to find our first product so
that we can actually start making some
sales
down here you'll notice this section
called apps you just want to come over
here and click add apps it'll take you
straight to the shopify app store if you
click the link at the bottom and this is
where you want to be to go ahead and get
an app that allows you to import a
product in one click now oberlo was a
big app that allowed you to do this
before i'm not even too sure it's still
on the shopify app store no it's not in
fact it's been completely removed and
this is the best way for beginners to
get started was to use oberlo and one
click add a product from aliexpress to
their store but with oberlo gone we need
an alternative and deezers is actually
partnered with oberlo to kind of pick up
and take over where oberlo left off but
good news for you is that deezers is
actually a whole lot more complete and
allows you to automate so many more
tasks that oberlo just didn't have the
functionalities for the first thing you
want to do is go ahead and click on this
app and then just click add app and it's
going to give you again a 14 day free
trial so you don't have to spend any
money out of your pocket go ahead and
click install app
and then it's going to prompt you to a
page where you need to create an account
for yourself
now don't get scared away by the 499 per
month enterprise plan as all we need
right now is the basic free plan and
just go ahead and click get started the
next thing is that we need to go ahead
and link teasers to aliexpress so if you
just click this logo right here it's
going to take us right through to
aliexpress and ideally you want to
already have an account set up if you
don't it's super quick and easy to make
an account on aliexpress
just click authorize and then you're
going to get this little support bot and
obviously what we want to do at this
point is start importing products and
figuring out which products we want to
sell on our store it's going to take you
through a really quick guide but i don't
really need to see any of this because
i'm going to show you guys exactly what
to do right now all right so diesels is
automatically integrated with aliexpress
if you're unfamiliar with aliexpress
it's basically a wholesale platform
where suppliers are listing up products
typically from china though you can find
suppliers in the us as well if you're
looking for faster shipping which i'd
recommend
and it's going to give you tons of
different product recommendations of
products that are currently selling well
for other drop shippers so as you can
see these are tons of great problem
solving products like this back
stretcher right here or this pet dog toy
that's apparently good for their teeth
when they're chewing it or this makeup
pen right here i'm going to go ahead and
select a product given what i already
know about products but if you guys are
interested in a full guide on product
research and how to select your first
product for drop shipping you want to
click this link somewhere around here
i'll add the full guide video up at the
top
so i've decided to go with this
bluetooth sleeping headphone sport band
and basically what this allows you to do
is listen to music on your way to sleep
or listen to sounds that help you go to
sleep and it wraps your head really
nicely and it feels soft and super
seamless as almost as if it's not even
there but it also plays music out of the
sides right on your ears so seems like a
great problem-solving product for people
who are having difficulties going to
sleep and it comes in two different
color variations for about 12 usd at its
wholesale price from this particular
supplier which has tons of five-star
reviews
tons of orders and overall seems like a
solid bet so from the product right here
i'm just going to click add to import
list
and then i'm just going to click go to
import list and check
and as simple as this all i have to do
is click on this button that says push
to shopify and then click ok
so as simple as this all i have to do is
click on this select box here that says
push to shopify and then click on the
button now it's going to ask me which
stores i want to publish it to since i
only have one store right now which is
nathan's first store to show you guys
how i created i'm just going to go ahead
and select that and then click also
publish to online store and then finally
push to shopify now if we go back over
to our shopify store and we click on
products we should be able to see that
the product is right here on our
storefront it's going to automatically
go ahead and add all the different
images straight from the listing on
aliexpress and all the different
specifications of the product as well as
some of the images they used on their
product page it's a pretty solid start
if you ask me and that was all done in
literally 30 seconds now if we go back
to deezers eventually you can come here
and you can see all of your different
products you can see your open orders
with your customers you can go ahead and
find other suppliers for your product to
make sure you're getting the best price
and the fastest shipping and the highest
product quality and so much more so
jesus is a great all-in-one tool but
anyways before we start working on the
product page the next thing we want to
do is go over to the online store
section and start customizing our
storefront now it's going to give you a
pre-built theme dawn is a pretty good
theme and it's completely free with
shopify however you can select a
different one if you are interested but
i'm just going to go ahead and customize
this existing theme
so as you guys can see right out of the
box it's pretty basic we just have the
product here on the store we have a
bunch of blank templates added and we
have a couple different pages one of
them being catalog which is going to
show us the product that we added to the
store and then we have a contact page
already built into the theme as well
which is going to give customers a super
easy place to go ahead and file a ticket
with you if they need any type of
support before we work on the product
page i just want to customize the
homepage a bit and if you guys want a
more in-depth full walkthrough of how i
build custom-made stores i'll leave a
link somewhere around here as well but
now that we know our store is in the
sleepwear niche we can start selecting
images that correspond with that so if
we click on this initial image banner
over here on the left side which is this
top part highlighted in blue then we can
go over to the right side and we can
start customizing it the first thing
that we need is an initial image so if
we click select image it's going to take
us to the shopify free image library
which is a great place to get images
also there's other free websites such as
pixels or you can even find images of
the product on aliexpress as well but
i'm just going to look up sleep and then
i'm going to go ahead and click one that
i feel corresponds to the product so you
can see somebody here in their bed well
rested it looks like and i think i'm
just gonna use this from there you can
play around with the opacity the height
of the banner different color schemes
and such but i think that looks pretty
good to start so then i'm going to start
building out the text
[Music]
simple benefit driven text is all you
need sleep like a baby our sleep band is
designed to help you fall asleep even in
the presence of loud noise and light so
our homepage is already coming together
now you can see it has this next little
section where we can go ahead and talk
about our brand let's give ourselves a
little mission statement here
our mission
our mission is to help you
get the rest that you deserve
now i don't really like this featured
products section here because there's a
lot of white space on the right side so
what i'm going to do is i'm going to
remove this featured collection that
already comes with the theme and i'm
going to go ahead and add section and
i'm going to type in
product then i'm going to click on
featured product and it's going to give
me this right here and all i have to do
is select product on the right side to
the product that we already have and
look how much better and cleaner that is
you have the main product photos on the
left side here you have the name of the
product price the buttons for them to go
ahead and add it to their cart or
purchase it right then and there and i
just think that's pretty much all you
need and i'll show you why when we get
into the landing page section which is
where all of our traffic is going to
land on they're not actually going to
come to our home page anyway so i'm just
going to go ahead and save that right
there and now i'm just going to start
building out some extra text that makes
sense with the product up here to help
boost conversions and show people why
they should buy this product
boom so that looks pretty good fall
asleep to sounds the amazon rainforest
having trouble falling asleep try
playing your favorite nature sounds so
comfortably forget it's even there our
sleep band is designed with ultra
lightweight material with an extra focus
on comfort and breathability so for now
i think that's pretty good for the
homepage and now it's time that we focus
on the juice which is actually going to
be the product page so all you have to
do is click exit over here and then go
back to products click on the product
here's where we can start customizing
this and i'm going to change the name to
something a lot simpler and cleaner i'm
going to call this the sleep
band 2.0 and i just add the 2.0
to kind of give the feel that it's the
next generation it's the next iteration
on the product as many people who are
selling this are probably also calling
it the sleep band because it seems like
a name that just fits with the product
now as far as the product page goes we
want to compile all this information in
a way that's appealing to the customer
in a way that will actually drive them
to go ahead and make that purchase you
want to show the customer clear benefits
as to why they should buy your product
and what they'll gain from it and you
want to do so in a very clean and
minimalistic way nobody wants to read
hoards of paragraphs or look through
hundreds of images just to make the
decision on whether or not they should
buy your product a couple clean images
and gifts and a few punch lines that
really hit home with the consumer is all
you need for copywriting
perfect so all i did was add a couple
punch lines in between some of the main
photos here and i made it make sense
with the photo so when i was talking
about the battery life i then talked
about the battery life when i was
talking about the comfort i talked about
the comfort when it was talking about
using it for working out and for other
purposes i talked about just that as
well
and the next step is to scroll down over
here and make sure that all the product
photos are pretty good for now this
looks pretty good straight off the
listing so i'm happy with this and if i
continue to scroll down here's where we
can choose the price point for each
variant so if i go to edit i can select
the price that i want to sell this at
and i think for this product given that
we're getting it for about 12 a 3x
markup or around there is pretty good so
i'm going to go in with 39.99 as the
price point and i'm going to set that
for both of them
now another thing that you can do by
clicking edit on each one of the
products is you can select a compare at
price to run different types of offers
and stuff like that so if i'm selling
the product for 40
and i want to convince the customers to
buy it by telling them they're getting a
50 off sale what i can do here is i can
come and i can make the compare at price
79.99 and i'm going to do that for the
same variant the gray one as well
[Music]
and bingo
so there we have the product page is
looking pretty good and now we can go
take a look on how it looks on the
mobile view to make sure that it's up to
par both for people who are coming on
their desktop and for people who are
coming onto our website using an iphone
to do that just go back over to online
store make sure that you click save at
the top right to save all your progress
i almost forgot to do that if we go back
to the online store and hit customize we
can check out how everything's coming
together all right so now if we click on
catalog and we click on the sleep band
2.0 product that we just finished
creating we can see how the web page is
going to look we can see the price and
there you go there's the compare app
price for 80 that's crossed out you can
see the two different variants of the
product when you click on each one each
different product photo will appear
and if you scroll down you can see all
the different images and the text that
we used for the product as well now
though i probably could spend a lot more
time deciding how i want to lay out the
photos and which photos i want to use
i'm already seeing a couple duplicate
photos i won't worry about that too much
right now because there's something more
important that actually needs our
attention on the product page which is
going to be getting reviews or
testimonials that's going to help build
a lot of social proof and trust with
your customers and it's going to be the
missing piece on what pushes them over
the edge in many cases so if i just hit
save and then leave the website editor i
can go back to the main shopify section
where i can then select a new app that's
going to allow me to import reviews
easily with one click now there are tons
of good review apps that are completely
free i usually start with a reviews it's
a pretty solid free review app right
here and all you have to do is click on
it and click add app
all right so it's going to take you to
this page here where you can start a
tour on how to use the app because i
already know i'm going to go ahead and
click skip and show you guys instead and
now it's going to take you to this page
basically all we have to do is go back
to the aliexpress page of the product
and then paste it into the top where it
says find your products because this
product already had tons of reviews on
it that's exactly what we're looking for
so once we get to this page all we gotta
do is click on reviews and click import
reviews and it's gonna take us over to
this page right here and it knows
exactly the product that we have on the
website right now so if we just go back
to aliexpress copy the link of the
product and again this one already has
tons of reviews so it's exactly what
you're looking for and then you want to
paste it in here and click import it's
going to give you some parameters on
exactly what you want to import i'm
going say uh four and five stars and
above and translate all comments to
english and then go ahead and click
submit so now if we go back to our
product page we should see the reviews
are showing up let's go back to
customize
catalog
and then click on the product itself
we scroll at the bottom we can already
see tons of reviews now if we do want to
add more reviews you might have to get
on a pay plan with a reviews i think
it's like 9.99 a month and you can have
unlimited reviews and stuff like that
but in the beginning this is all you
need a solid review section with a few
different testimonials and hopefully
some good reviews that actually show
images of the product like these ones
that we have right here now the next
step of the store is we need to do a
little bit of management with logo uh
the menus just overall make things look
a lot more clean and branded
so if we go exit again and we go over to
the navigation section here's where we
can start editing the main menu so right
now we have this home catalog and
contact because we only have one product
on our store that we're selling right
now i don't think a catalog is entirely
necessary so i'm just gonna go ahead and
remove that and instead i'm gonna add a
product page that i'm just going to call
shop now and it's going to take us
directly to the link to go ahead and
purchase that product so if we just
click on the sleep band 2.0 right there
and then hit add it's going to show up
exactly how i intend it to and the last
thing that we have here is the contact
page which is pretty solid on this
template to begin with so i'm just going
to leave that as is now the other page
that i might add right off the bat is
attract my order page
so customers know exactly when their
product is going to get to them and
that's what i'm going to do right here
i'm just going to go track my order but
the first thing that i have to do is
create that page so over here on the
pages section this is where you can add
different pages if i click add page and
then i click track my order right here
this is where i can start building up
the track my order page so i'm going to
type something like this
[Music]
all right so please allow up to five to
15 business days for your package to
arrive if you're wondering where your
package currently is please use this
link and make sure you have your
tracking code from your email ready to
go now the link that i'm talking about
is actually 17 track it's a pretty good
website that does all-in-one package
tracking for tons and tons of different
different logistics and carriers and
it's likely they're going to be working
with the same shipping logistics lines
that your supplier is as well so if
that's the case start with this
something super simple like this is all
that you would need to go ahead and
satisfy your customers and show them
exactly where their package is in
transit
all right so after saving that remember
if we go back over to navigation and we
go back over the main menu we can now
add that in by going here and clicking
on pages and then track my order and
clicking add now that we saved that menu
that's all going to show up pretty well
and if we go over to the footer we can
do the same thing by adding whatever
menu items we want i'm going to add home
and click the home page on the footer
and i'm also going to add the shop now
and i'm also going to add the contact
and the track my order page
[Music]
bingo so the footer menu is now complete
so now if we go back over we can see the
different pages that we added like
contact and track my order and if you go
down to the bottom in the footer you can
see all the different pages that i added
like so next step i think it's time for
color scheme and logo to start cleaning
it up and making it look like a brand so
if we go down here to theme settings and
then we click on colors this is where we
can start selecting all the different
colors that we want on our store so
let's go back to the home page for this
and theme settings here again and let's
go to colors and let's start picking
some different color schemes so for
solid button label i'm going to go ahead
and choose some type of a blue maybe
like a teal or something like this and
see how that looks there you can see the
buy it now is now an appeal and then for
the solid button background i might try
something
maybe like
a deeper blue maybe like a turquoise-ish
something like that let's see how that
looks okay that doesn't look too bad do
you want to change this to make it stand
out just a little bit more
there we go i think that looks pretty
good and then the other accent colors
let's match that up with something
similar to what we're using there
so this is going to be these little
accent colors for these buttons right
here
[Music]
and then for text i usually like to just
make this one as dark as possible and
the same thing with the outline buttons
and there we go i think that looks
pretty good um those are the type of
buttons and colors that we're going to
be using across the store uh for all the
other texts white black is pretty clean
a conversion right typically does better
um when the store is white as opposed to
black don't ask me why it's just
something that i've found over the years
now if we go back to the shop now page
we can see kind of the color scheme for
those buttons are now set in order and
as we add different things they'll pop
up in that color as well now we need to
create a logo so one website that i use
for easy logo creation is canva if you
have photoshop skills or something like
that great i personally don't so i just
like to go over to canva it's a free
tool i believe but there is a paid
option where you can add tons of
different stuff to your logos into your
designs that you make so i'm just going
to go ahead and log into my account
really quick all right so now that we're
in canva here if we just click on logos
and it's going to give us hundreds of
pre-made templates that we can choose
from i'm just going to click one of the
first ones that i see here and i'm going
to edit the template style a little bit
to change the colors i'm going to choose
something similar to the colors that
we're already using beforehand
[Music]
i'm just going to play with this a
little bit and i think that doesn't look
too bad um i'm debating even having some
of this smaller text down here you know
what i'm just gonna get rid of it and
we're just gonna go with a clean and
simple uh sleep band at the top right
there now all i have to do is go over to
the top here and click share and then
click download click transparent
background download as a png and
continue
and now if i go back over to my store
and i go to header and i click change
right here i'll be able to select the
image click upload and choose it from my
downloads folder like so and there you
can see at the top the sleep band logo
is there but it's looking a little bit
small so i'm probably going to crop it
and make sure that it fits the way that
i want it to the first thing that i'm
going to do is open up
[Music]
and there we go that's how it looks now
i'm just going to show you guys on the
mobile view which is arguably more
important so you're going to see the
sleep band at the top right there you're
gonna see the menu item with everything
and this is how the product page looks
we got all the reviews at the bottom and
overall i think this is almost ready for
a test again
how far you can take web development and
making your store look really ranges
from beginner entry level to advanced
where you know you either hire developer
to custom code things and spend tens of
thousands of dollars or you spend time
focusing on every single nitpicky detail
in my opinion i like to start off with
it as simple as possible and then as i
start making revenue reinvest into
constantly improving my website if you
guys were interested in a full
comprehensive guide on how to do so much
more to your store i recommend you check
out this video right here but honestly
this is all you need to know in the
beginning of course you can play around
with things a little bit more when
you're launching the store for the first
time but this is good to go and i'm just
gonna click save and then exit now the
next thing that we need is another
really really important app it's pretty
much one of my essentials besides
deezers and a reviews so we're gonna go
back over to the shopify app store and
the app is called reconvert and this app
right here has generated me over six
figures in additional revenue across my
brands to date so i definitely want to
make sure that you guys install this app
from day one as well now the best part
about reconvert is they only charge you
when you make money so after cooking
let's go you just have to approve your
credit card or your paypal so they can
charge you and again you won't be billed
until you're starting to make money with
the app as well
now that i'm into the app it's going to
show you how to build a post-purchase
funnel and a post-purchase funnel is
basically something that gets presented
to the customer and which encourages
them to spend more money on your store
after they've already purchased so you
don't have to worry about losing the
sale or losing the customer because of
spamming them with pop-ups and different
types of sales tactics this way you've
already made the sale and you're simply
offering them more likely at a
discounted rate to squeeze out as much
revenue as possible from each client
that lands on your store so here's how
to do this we just click start now and
then click publish reconvert it's going
to automatically publish you an entire
funnel that's optimized for conversions
that honestly needs little customization
and work even for some of the biggest
brands in the world if we go over here
and click close it's going to take you
through the funnel exactly how it
happens so after the order is completed
a trigger to then offer them an upsell
comes in and you can add as many upsells
as you want on multiple thank you pages
after they continue ordering from you
but let me show you how these upsells
work if we click into the first upsell
and click edit here basically this is
what it's going to show them on the
thank you page so if you're all familiar
with shopping online you probably get a
page like this sent to your email or
directly after when you purchase a
product it's gonna say congratulations
you've paid for your order or something
like this but then you can hit them with
another offer so you can say hey thanks
for shopping or whatever it's not too
late to grab more here's another for 15
off and then you're offering them
another product and this is where it
gets interesting because you can add
tons of different upsell products onto
your store in the particular niche or
you can simply offer them the same
product at a discounted rate maybe if
they want to buy the same product for
friends or family as well well now they
can do it at a special discount just for
them and of course you can play around
with all the different options here and
you can optimize this to look exactly
how you want but i just wanted to show
you guys that relatively quickly because
it is something that i use across all my
brands and not having a post purchase
upsell flow in place
means that you're simply missing out on
extra revenue that you could be
collecting so that's reconvert and it's
one of my essential apps and besides
that i think we've pretty much gone over
everything that's pretty essential for
the online store creation and starting
your first drop shipping store so now
that you have your first drop shipping
store set up take a break crack a beer
sit down and celebrate you've already
made it farther than 99 of people who
say that they're gonna hop into online
business and now the fun parts ahead of
you so get a good night's rest and gear
up for learning all about advertising
paid traffic and how you're going to
start driving traffic towards your store
and making sales again this video is
simply too short for me to cover every
single little detail in terms of the
store creation and setup but i showed

need to do to get started on day one of
building your own drop shipping store

comprehensive guide i put one out
