this video now there's a ton of
information out there in regards to
starting your own dropshipping business
but let's take it all the way from the
top and the top is creating your online
store you cannot run an online business
without a storefront so let's hop into
how you're going to get it and how
you're going to build it so we're
heading over here to Shopify and as you

online store can come with so make sure
to go ahead and check that out now
Shopify is a platform that your website
will be built on and where you'll have
the actual store from for the product or
products that you're selling now there
are other e-commerce platforms out there
that you may have heard of but Shopify
is by far the most reliable and beginner
friendly so I highly suggest that you
start there so once you're on this page
you're going to come down over here to
enter your email address and just go
ahead and enter that and then after
entering your email you're sending go to
start free trial then this screen will
come up you'll just do I'm just starting
click on an online store and click next

right here and then this is going to be
the next screen that you see and then
here you can go ahead and just name your
store and like I said I would not spend
a lot of time on this you don't want to
overthink this just keep this very
simple and very general wherever your
business is located you'll go ahead and
click on next continue with email create
your password word and then create
Shopify ID now we just open up a new
store with the free trial and you're
already 10 steps ahead of where you
previously were at the beginning of this
video because your store is officially
open now let's go ahead and get into the
build and everything that you'll need to
make sure that when customers are coming
to your store they always leave with
purchasing something and putting more
money back into your pocket now the
first thing that you want to do is head
over to your Shopify App Store and
search for an app called autods and it's
as simple as this you come over here to
apps you type in Auto DS and click on
enter and this is what the Shopify App
Store looks like and it's going to be
this one right here that says Auto DS
all-in-one Drop Shipping and autods is
literally an all-in-one Drop Shipping
tool that you need on your online store
this app will allow you to connect your
store to different suppliers that you
may be wanting to use to help sell your
product they'll let you browse through
potential products that you can be
selling and it even has the capability
to fulfill the orders you're getting on
your store automatically and send out
tracking information directly to your
customer I mean Auto DS is going to make
running your job streaming business as a
beginner as seamless as possible I wish
I mean I wish they had apps like that
when I first started my Drop Shipping
Journey because automation is everything
and that's exactly what this app will
give to you I'm gonna go ahead and add
this app into my store and it's just as
simple as clicking add app and then
install app now that we have Auto DS
downloaded the next thing we need to do
is connect this with our Shopify store
so this is gonna be the first screen
you'll see you'll go to add store come
to this plus sign where it says ad store
at the bottom click on Shopify store and
click continue you come back over here
to your Shopify highlight the actual
HTML and then go ahead and add that to
your store and it's as simple as that
and if you want to make sure it's
connected you should see your actual
Shopify store right here at the top left
corner now before we head into the
overall build of your store and making
sure that you have all the necessary
instructions then get your store off the
ground and running my team and I do
provide Hands-On one-on-one guidance to
help you directly with learning
strategies of running your online store
that can help you make money not just
for short term but for a lifetime so if
you're ready to take action and start
learning with my team and I by your side
make sure you head over to my Instagram
at AC underscore Hampton DM me the word
mentorship or apply with the link down
in my description so I can reach out and
help you get started now that we have
Auto DS connected you're going to want
to start off with importing your first
product to your store but in order to
import a product you have to know what
you're looking for in a product that you
should be selling it is not smart to
come into Drop Shipping thinking you can
just sell any and everything because
that's going to cause you to spend a lot
of time and money into the wrong
direction when you're scrolling through
your products on autods and looking for
one that you could be selling you want
to make sure that the product is hitting
some very important key factors when
number one being that it solves some
sort of problem now this is because a
product that solves a problem is likely
to sell for a longer period of time
secondly that it can be sold for 25 or
more by doing a quick search for the
product on Google you can see on average
what your competition is selling the
product for and if it's being sold for
less than 25 dollars you'll find that
you're spending more money in ads than
what you're actually making from selling
it so let's take this product right here
as an example so this is the anti-theft
travel backpack and you can see when I'm
on Google and I'm actually searching for
this you can see that most of these
products are over 25 if not all of them
so this is telling me right away that
this is being sold for 25 or more across
the entire market and lastly you want to
make sure that there is demand in the
market for the product that you're
selling and you can do this by heading
over to Google Trends and searching a
keyword surrounding your product and
seeing if it's on an upward or a
downward Trend if we take that exact
product put it in Google Trends you can
see that this is slowly on the upward
Trend and that's exactly what you want
to be seeing across any product that
you're selling think about it every
business is based off of supply and
demand and when you see something like
this being in constant demand it shows
that we should have the supply to back
up the product and that's exactly what
we do with Drop Shipping so now in order
to start looking for the products that
you're going to want to start selling
you're going to want to go to auto DS
you're going to want to click on these
dots up here and then go over to product
research from there you're given a
couple different options for what type
of products that you want to look at
from popular products to new products to
U.S supply products and you can just
continue to scroll through each section
until you find a product that meets the
criteria that we just talked about and
if you want to give Auto DS a try with a
30 day free trial make sure you go ahead
and click on the link down in my
description to go ahead and try it out
so like I said the first step is just
going through any of these and just
scrolling to find any products that we
could possibly work with so let's say
this product right here is what I want
to add to my store it's as simple as
this I'm gonna come over here to import
product and then it's going to say item
is being added to drafts click here to
view and then you'll see your product
right here in the drafts before actually
uploading this to your store now I
typically draft a product just like this
so I'm able to work on the product
description directly from the screen and
make sure everything is good to go
before publishing for the customers to
see and inside this draft section right
here on auto DS you can see every
product that you've imported to your
store but haven't quite yet published
that's where I like to work on name mean
the products selecting the variants that
I'm going to be selling and choosing the
price that I'm going to be selling at
and how you actually edit the product is
you're going to click on this little
arrow and it's going to show you the
product the description the variants the
images and more now I always suggest
giving your product a catchy name and
then describing what it is so I'm just
going to name this anti-theft waterproof
travel backpack so you see I didn't just
name this the product itself but I named
it anti-theft waterproof travel backpack
to go ahead and customize it just a
little bit to stand out for my
competition Now by doing this you're
giving your customers something to
remember you buy so that they can always
come back and find you or the next time
that they see your advertisement they're
more inclined to head into your store
because they know it's you and as I said
you're also going to change the pricing
of your product on this exact same page
and whenever you're pricing your product
you always want to make sure that you're
selling it for at least 2.5 x your cost
of goods what this means is that if
you're buying something for ten dollars
with shipping included from AliExpress
or whatever supplier that you decide to
use you want to make sure that you're
selling it for at least 2.5 x which
would come out to 25 by standing by this
rule you're going to help in keeping
your profit margins on the higher side
so that you can continue to keep
profiting with your online store so let
me head over here to AliExpress for
example and I'm literally just going to
go ahead and type the product in and
let's take this variant right here for
example I see that this product is
37.74 so if I take out my handy dandy
calculator come over here and type in
37.74 Times by 2.5 I see that this comes
out to
94.35 so whenever I come over here to
Auto DS now I need to change the pricing
around that so I'll just come over here
to edit and you see where it says sell
price right here I'm just going to
change this to
94.99 and now out the gate I'm getting
the right profitability with this
product now after that you want to make
sure that you're actually choosing the
variants that you want to sell so for
this example right here there is only
one variant which is dark gray but if
there were multiple different colors you
want to choose the ones that you
actually want to be selling with and
those variants that you decide to sell
are based off of what your supplier can
actually get but for this example like I
said there's only one variant so once
you've named your product you change
your price and you chose the variance
that you want to be selling all that you
have left to do is Click import to your
store and then that product is published
and added directly into your store so
like I said once you're done you just go
ahead and click on import and then once
you're finished with that you'll see
that it says one out of one finish and
now that product is imported and if you
come back over here to your Shopify
store and click on refresh and then come
over here to products you should be
seeing that product right on your store
just like this which now at this point
it's time to get to work now once you're
on the screen you see your product is
imported and you actually click on it
this is what's going to bring you up the
product description now the product
description is also known as the product
page now this is the part of your store
that you will be leading your customers
to when you're actually advertising the
product and they click on shop now they
will be led into this exact product page
that you're wanting them to buy off in
simpler terms this means that the build
of your product page is extremely
important to the success that you're
going to have with your Drop Shipping
Store and you have to make sure that the
product page is as Shopper friendly
informative and clean cut as possible so
that you don't give customers any reason
not to want to buy from you but before
we get into showing you exactly how to
build a high converting product page I
know that this video has been packed
with information so far and we're only
going to keep getting deeper and deeper
into the value so if you're having any
questions about this video or about how
you can get started with your job
shipping store successfully head over to
my Instagram AC underscore Hampton DM me
the word YouTube so I can reach out and
help out in any way remember it's not
about how much money you can make in
this world but how much knowledge you
can teach others to change your life DM
me the word YouTube if you're feeling
stuck at all so when creating the
product page for the product that you're
selling you never just want to go off
the top of the head with what you think
would look good on this page you want to
use the resources that are available to
you so that you can build a strong wrong
and persuasive product page so what I
typically like to do is head over to
Google and search for my product so like
I said I'll come over here to Google and
type in anti-theft travel backpack and
what I'm going to do is just open up a
couple different people who are selling
these products and there's two main
things I'm trying to validate whenever
I'm opening up these product pages and
the first is making sure that they're
getting legitimate traffic and that is
actually legitimate competitor and
secondly making sure that they are using
a Shopify store we never want to be
Reinventing the wheel we want to allow
whatever's working in the market to work
for us which is a direct reflection of
everything that's going into our product
page and to validate step number one
which is are they actually getting
legitimate traffic or not is with using
one of my favorite free Google Chrome
extensions called similar web so you'll
literally come over here to Google type
in similar web you'll come to this right
here you'll go ahead and click on get
started and then download this Google
Chrome extension and then when you pull
it up it looks something like this it
shows you the traffic of the store it
shows you where they're advertising and
their traffic sources so they even know
if this this legitimate competitor that
we should be basing ourselves off of we
need to know if they're even getting
traffic at all so if I click on similar
web on these websites and it says
something like this we currently lack
sufficient data then I know that this is
not a legitimate competitor so I just
start going down the line and I see okay
which ones are getting traffic and which
ones are not okay this one's getting
traffic all right this one's getting
traffic this one's not so I'll exit this
one this one is so I'll keep that this
one's not so I'll get rid of that and
now the second thing that we need to be
figuring out is okay are they even a
Shopify store because we want to be
basing ourselves off of our exact
competition and to figure that out we
can also do it for absolutely free by
downloading another one of my favorite
Google Chrome extensions called Commerce
inspector so you'll come over here to
Google you'll type in Commerce inspector
you'll click on that one right there and
then just install the free Google Chrome
extension and to know if it's an actual
Shopify store or not you'll see that
this little magnifying glass is going to
highlight and once it highlights you can
go ahead and click on it and you can see
right away that this is a Drop Shipping
Store work I can see when they added
these products I could see their best
selling products and I can even see the
newest products that they're adding to
their store so now I just found out that
they're getting legitimate traffic and
these people are Shopify stores and to
take it one step even further I'll open
up another tab head over to Amazon and
search for my exact product type in anti
theft backpack click on the variant that
we're selling and then from there I'll
find someone who's selling the product
filter down by one star reviews so I can
see what troubles people are actually
having with this product and that means
as simple as this scroll all the way
down to the bottom and only filter by
the one star reviews so with examples of
other Sellers and feedback from our
customers are actually saying about the
product and reviews you're now able to
have the right information that help you
build a strong and persuading product
page selling your product while limiting
the customer's concerns and now you can
use the non-copyrighted images and gifts
that your senior competitors using on
their website but it's best to mix and
match from multiple websites as you
never want to just copy someone's entire
higher product page you're here to make
your product page better by pointing out
different features and benefits and to
create a stronger cell surrounding your
product but you can utilize some of
their best images and gifs to help you
do that let's go ahead and get into how
to build your product description out
because this plays a major role in how
long customers will stay on your product
page and the longer they stay the more
likely they are to buy so whenever
you're building your product page you do
not I repeat do not want to have a ton
of text or just images while trying to
portray why customers should buy your
product you need to have breaks with a
customer's eyes with images and gifts so
how you should be setting up is by
having the header ask a problem that
people may be having that your product
has the potential to solve and then
heading down into the features and
benefits surrounding the product so I'm
going to put a benefit as the header a
short description going further into the
description and then an image or gift
that corresponds to the feature that I
just listed and how I'm going to do that
is first literally just deleting all of
this that is already in here and I like
to start off from scratch I'll come over
here to heading one something like this
protect yourself and your belongings
everywhere you go this is probably one
of the main reasons that somebody would
buy this product in the first place and
then after highlighting this main
problem now I'm going to go ahead and
introduce the solution and as you can
see that's exactly what I did right here
so I went from protecting yourself and
your belongings everywhere you go aren't
that backpacks and bags are becoming a
vital piece of gear for everyone who
carries their gear to school work around
town or when they travel hitting all
different types of audiences of people
this must have wearable backpack is
designed to keep your gear safe and you
looking stylish which is again the main
problem that people are going to have
now with the immediate solution then
after this I'm just going to go ahead
and add an interactive GIF or image
that's highlighting what I'm saying and
how I do that is as simple as this so
I'll just come over here to insert image
upload file and then go ahead and select
on the first image that I chose and now
you see I have the problem the solution
and the image that's highlighting all
that together and then I'll continue
that same same type of format for about
four to five more features and benefits
and then we'll have our product page
built so let me go ahead and do that
real quick
and then when you're finished it should
look something just like this so you see
how it's the main feature the main
benefit image main feature main benefit
image all the way down and then whenever
you're done you just go ahead and click
on Save now that you have all this saved
you can actually preview it by clicking
on this preview button right here and
this gives you a rundown of what your
product page basically looks like out
the gate now one thing I definitely
advise doing is having a compare price
on your potty page so you see how this
just says 94.99 we want to make sure
that they're actually getting a good
sale when they're buying the product and
what I like doing is at least a 50 off
deal so I'll take this 94.99
and I'll multiply it by two and that's
going to be
189.98 so once I'm back on the Shopify
page I'm just going to go ahead and
highlight this variant and then open
bulk editor and that's where I'm going
to go ahead and put that compare price
of
189.98 and then go ahead and click on
Save and now you can see you have your
selling price and your compare price
right here now there are going to be
some apps that you're going to want to
make sure that you have on your store
that can help you increase your average
order value which means more money back
in your pocket and also some apps that
will make your customers purchase from
you I broke all those apps down and how
to set them up in this video right here
so make sure you go and check that out
after you finish watching this video so
now you have your product page set up
which is where you will be directing
traffic to from your ads and although
it's very important it's not going to do
anything for you if the rest of your
store is completely empty this means
it's time for you to set up your actual
storefront and home page so if customers
actually decide to browse around on your
site they don't run into blank pages or
links that don't work which can be
detrimental to whether you're getting
sales or not so as of right now if we do
click on the homepage of our store you
can see right now this is completely
empty so with that being said we need to
choose a theme and start building a
theme is what allows you to control the
layout of your store and how it looks
and Shopify provides multiple free
options that you can choose from and if
you want to see those options all you
have to do is come over here to online
store come down here to theme Library go
to explore free themes and you can see
all the ones that Shopify offers right
away now although there are paid or
coded themes that you could use I think
the free option is the best to use as a
beginner as it won't slow the speed of
your store down
and their very beginner friendly so
let's take this refresh theme as an
example we'll go ahead and click on that
and then add to theme library and then
once that's happening it will say right
here installing theme and then you want
to go ahead and publish that to your
store so you'll come over here to
actions and then go ahead and click on
publish and then click on publish again
and now you'll see that refresh theme is
the actual theme published to your store
we'll go ahead and scroll over here to
customize right next to the theme and it
will take us into the home page of our
store that we're able to customize it
exactly how we want when building your
Store homepage you always want to make
sure that it's as open and inviting as
possible and possibly aiming towards
whatever holiday or season is currently
happening like right now since it's the
winter time maybe I could have people
outside playing in the snow or hanging
around their family since that's what
people are doing in the family time and
making my store completely around that
and I typically put this in my home
image with the colors of my store
matching whatever season is currently
happening now like I said you want to
keep these images general and this is
going to be a key thing that you do
especially when starting your Drop
Shipping Store or as you always should
start off with a general store a general
store is a store that allows you to sell
different products that may fall under
different niches all under one specific
store and I always suggest starting off
with a general store because this is
what's going to allow you to test out
different products without having to
change everything on your store every
time just one of these things don't work
out for you this then saves you time and
money that you would be spending opening
and building new Shopify stores every
time you just want to test out a
different product this is exactly why
you want to keep your homepage as open
and generic as possible more so
pertaining to the season or holiday that
is happening as opposed to putting a
product on display that might not be the
same product that you're selling next
month and one of my favorite ways of
finding these images that I know are
non-copyrighted is using one of my
favorite free websites called pixels so
just come over here and type in pixel
and it's going to be this one right here
so because it's the winter time I want
to keep it generic I'll probably just
type in Winter family and I mean this is
a pretty good image right here and I can
just go ahead and click on download and
now I can come back to my store and add
that image right away and I'm gonna go
ahead and upload that real quick
and this is what it looks like when you
upload your first image I'm gonna go
ahead and upload the rest of this
product description
and just like that in less than five
minutes we have our home page set up and
ready to go and you can see I have
winter cell at the top around the season
that's happening I have my background
non-copyrighted image all the way down
to my mission statement some collections
my main feature product even a email
collector but at this point you're
missing one thing which is your logo
since we have a general store with a
general store name you got that right
we're going to make our logo kind of
general and there's no reason to spend
hundreds of dollars on getting a logo
made when you can head over to canva and
make one in less than five minutes with
the templates that we have waiting for
you so just come over here type in
canva.com and then you want to come over
here to the search bar and type in logo
and you're gonna see all the different
logos that you can work with I like to
just choose a logo that sticks out to me
and then just throw my brand name in
there and then choose the colors that I
want my store to be I always suggest
that when you're building your logo you
just choose white black and one accent
color so it's not too busy and
distracting from your store you want a
nice clean and professional feel and
that's exactly what that's going to do
for you so I could choose this one right
here for example I can go ahead and
build this logo out real quickly
[Music]
and I mean it's literally this easy once
I'm done with that I'm gonna come over
here to share and then I'm going to go
ahead and download it and you do want to
download it with the transparent
background so you're able to throw it
directly onto your store let's head back
over to Shopify so I can show you
exactly what your next steps are so now
that we're back on Shopify we're going
to come over here to our header and
you'll see it says default logo this is
where you want to go ahead and change
you want to go ahead and select an image
upload and then this is where your logo
is going to be imported and that's it
it's as simple as that and you just want
to go ahead and click on Save now that
we have the logo in let's go ahead and
check it out by viewing the store and if
you want to view the store you just go
ahead and click on these three dots and
click on view hey and look at what we
got going on man look at what we got
going on not looking too shabby
especially for only a couple minutes now
that you have your home page and your
product page set up it's time for you to
get into running your ads but in order
for you to do that you need to make sure
that you have a Facebook business
manager and ads manager created so
you're able to connect it to your
Shopify account your Facebook business
manager and as manager is what's going
to allow you to set up your first
campaign and start selling your product
so you have to make sure that you have
these open and to do this you just come
over to Google and type in business
Facebook and this is one of the first
screens that you're going to see so you
just go ahead and create a meta business
account by just typing in your business
account name and this should just be
basically what your store name is called
enter your information and then go ahead
and click on create once you have all
that connected you're going to want to
head back over to Shopify where you'll
now be connecting your Shopify account
to the business manager and as manager
that you just created you have to
connect these two things to your Shopify
account in order to run your ads and
have data transferred over to your
Shopify account so make sure that you do
that but in order to get it connected
you're gonna head back over here to
Shopify like I mentioned you're gonna
come over here to online store come over
here to preferences and then you'll go
ahead and click on start setup and then
right here you're just going to connect
the same Facebook account that you just
registered your business manager with so
you just go over here to connect account
then you're going to go ahead and click
on the business manager that you just
created and click connect check out
method you want to ignore all this and
just go to your Shopify online store and
click save with the data sharing part
