understanding Dropshipping 


Drop-shipping has grown in popularity in the last few years. Some might say it's saturated, but the way I see it, it’s growing. drop shipping is still a very profitable business idea but drop-shipping has gotten more complicated in the sense that marketing strategies, software, and design are constantly needing to change.

Drop-shipping is an amazing business that can make you thousands of dollars a month or even a day. starting a drop shipping business is a very task but it constantly requires learning/applying until you make it work which requires you to learn how dropshipping actually works

 let's find out how to start a drop-shipping business.



1. Choose a product to sell

First, you are going to decide what products you want to sell. you will search for products that are best sellers on websites like Amazon, and Aliexpress For simplicity purposes, also you will be the side of benefit if you sell products on specific types of products; for example watches, phones, and clothes. which will help you gain authority over Google which means more people are going to visit your website which increases the chances of purchase.


2. Locate a supplier who will dropship for you




There are many suppliers to choose from in the U.S. or in other countries. But by far the most popular way to drop ship is from Aliexpress, amazon, and Salehoo suppliers. with these, you will no longer have to worry about shipping the products as they will do it all for you

You would like to research products that you like on Aliexpress and check if the supplier has good ratings. Make sure to avoid suppliers with low ratings by avoiding low-rated suppliers you decrease the chances of a refund, which means no extra hassle.



3. Set up Your store 


there are many ways you can set up your store for free with the help of websites like  Ecwid and WooCommerce.

But I would suggest you use Shopify, cause it is a great platform to start any drop shipping business. It gives you all the tools to create a beautiful e-commerce site without having any technical background.

So check it out and play around with it. You can get a Free 14-day trial here.

Shopify also gives you free support if you ever need it.



4. Advertise the product for sale on online markets 

Now that you have some suppliers that you like and know that the product is in stock, it’s time to sell it and drop ship it!

You can advertise the product online to attract customers, mainly with the help of TikTok, Instagram reels, and threads which are some free methods of advertising but you can also use Facebook ads, google ads, and Instagram influences if you have enough budget.

Facebook ads can get super complicated if you are a beginner. So, I would say to start with Instagram influencers to promote your product and Google ads.



5. Redirect The Order With The Dropshipper

Once you get your first sale on our own store you will basically use their money to buy the product from the suppliers like Amazon, Aliexpress and ship it directly to the customer with the information they have provided.




6. Follow up after the sale

The relationship with that customer is not over just because you made the deal. You shouldn't stop just because your customer has paid you and you've placed the order with the supplier.

Be active in your interactions with customers. To inform your customer that the item has been dispatched, follow up with them.

If there are issues, it's safer to let the supplier handle them and give the customer some personal contact information or have the manufacturer get in touch with the customer directly.
