Got a few questions. First though, thanks for all the great info; super helpful. 1. I know you recommended the latter in your 'free Facebook traffic' video but that was almost a year ago, so when setting up the Facebook page that you'll be using to promote products, do you recommend using the brand of your store, or just a general niche page (e.g. for the dog niche the page might be called Dog Lovers USA or something)? 2. You covered running page like ads on Facebook (a video would be great for this if you haven't uploaded one already (I haven't seen any on your channel apart from the somewhat related 'free Facebook traffic' video), how much content would you say we should have on our page before running these campaigns, and how often do you recommend we upload to the page? 3. How would you recommend we go about connecting/communicating with similar Facebook pages in our niches to help gain traction? Sorry for all the text.. Making a business plan atm so all this info would be super helpful. Thanks!
1) It's not a huge deal if your content is consistent TBH. I think the latter is better for generating traffic on Facebook. 2) Facebook ads are something I cover inside The Dropship Club, and not the channel. But in regards to your question, I would very much recommend having at least 10 posts :) this goes hand-in-hand with running a like campaign. It gives you more authority/makes you look more legitimate, improving your conversions. In terms of posting content to it, if it's there as just an excuse to run ads, once a week should be more than fine (you could definitely get away with not posting but it helps your legitimacy to post once a week). Otherwise, 1-3 times a day if you're looking to get organic FB traffic. 3) JVing is always a great idea. Reaching out to them via message, it's as simple as that. Although make sure you have your offered prepped in-advance. I would be wary about purchasing FB post space. The conversions on those are not comparable to Instagram Shoutouts. If you're looking to do something like that but on FB - I'd focus on Instagram instead. If you're looking for traffic swaps though then there is no harm in that :) just make sure you of course have something to offer in-return. Hope that helps!
Wholesale Ted Hi, my question is, when testing products with facebook ads I normally do a promotion with them such as only pay shipping, 50% off etc. But what if I want to test more than my front item? How many items should I test at the same time without putting the whole shop to 50% off as that doesnt really seen legit to many people.
This was fabulous. I've been binging your videos all week and I can't tell you how trustworthy your presence is. This is the only channel that I can sit down and watch a video all the way through and then want to watch 2 more. There's no ego involved, you get right to the point and you find the right time to quickly plug your ebook and course. It's clear that you value time like you always say and you pair it with action in the structure of your videos. Quite literally the only channel that I've ever found myself realising that I didn't hit the like button and then going into the history tab to access the video just so I could like it. You are appreciated!
You’re videos are by far the greatest from all of the drop shipping gurus I’ve seen. You are very thorough with step by step direction and clear about the realities of drop shipping. Stay awesome!
I’m from the UK and strictly buy from Wish, Temu, Ali Express and shipping times have got loads better my last order made the same day on all three sites as a buyer, arrived at my door 6 days later - awesome! 😀
Hi from South Africa! I have watched sooooo many videos on RUclips regarding drop shipping and yours are by far the most informative. I have absolutely no knowledge about this and I am petrified of starting because I have never even bought anything online yet I have an uncontrollable desire to learn about it and just do it. Thanks for these awesome videos.
looks like i was diving into dropshipping the wrong way. thanks for the insights. there's a lot to learn and thanks for dedicating your time in producing this video.
I have seen others recommend NOT submitting the order to Aliexpress, until you get payment from the customer, to prevent the item being shipped out and the customer canceling the order before you get the money.
I love how ALL your videos that I've watched so far are so inspirational. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge with us viewers and subscribers.
Thank you so much for making videos about ecommerce. I was so lost and came across to your vidoes. Still new and waiting for that first sale but you definitely guided me through starting up my business and your videos are straight to the point, very informative and honest.
Dan Jamell I'm offering one on one mentoring if your interested I've made 16k+ this month if your wanting full coaching you can contact me on ig at dropship_mentor 👍
She mentioned providing customers with a tracking link to follow the product's journey. Don't you think this might confuse some customers if your company is for example based in United States but the package is being shipped from China?
I personally drive the creation of epacket shipping solution in 2010, when I led ebay shipping team to work closely with China post and USPS, epacket was a joint shipping product among ebay, China post and USPS for cross border shipping then expanded to others like Aliexpress. welcome questions about epacket and cross border shipping
LLC is really no protection UNLESS you're a partnership/group/multiple entities. Lawyers can 'pierce the corporate veil' easily if they find you are operating alone. Thanks for your work though, *A.
I think the must important thing for drop shipping is that you need to find a good and reliable suppliers, or when you get the orders or a resend, refund, you can not solve such problems.
How do you go about shipping products from different supplies? E.g. if a customer purchases multiple items from your store, but the products are from different supplies then the products will obviously arrive at different times and separate packages. Won't the customer be confused/disappointed in their purchases as they may expect them to arrive in the same package?
I've been learning about dropshipping for around 4 months and I feel like I know quite a bit, but still found this video very useful. Always the best content on Wholesale Ted!
Hi. Thanks for this great video. The question is simple and maybe a bit trivial, but it's the first thing I thought before starting a dropshipping business: why should a user pay on my website for the same product more expensive instead of buying it directly on Aliexpress for example? What more can I offer?
Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I was looking for. When I am ready I will definitely be back to you for help and training. You were honest and precise.
Great video! But one thing about the people losing money on amazon is that they are not losing money! They most likely get their products from alibaba in bulk (lets say 1000+ items) for only a few cents to a few dollars per item. So after searching the self stirring mug only costs them about $1.77-1.99 per piece or even less if they buy more. But of course there are shipping fees and customs fees, in the end profit is still made.
You are awesome, thank you for the plenty of videos i've gone through so far. Really helps this father take care of his family by understanding the subtle stuff that comes to DS
I’m making a start in e-commerce; I’ve recently come across your videos. I must say.. well done! Your videos are by far the clearest and most concise I’ve come across to date. I hope to learn more from you in the near future.. keep up the good work! Thank you.
Great video. people shipping to amazon FBA aren't buying from aliexpress. They are buying from alibaba at a bulk rate discount. So you can't easily compare the aliexpress supplier to calculate profit.
So pumped and ready to go for this, just hope this doesnt get saturated like other ecommerce opportunities and i can actually succeed in this venture like others who have done well before me, ive found my niche so im gonna give it a go!
A bit unsure about creating a 20+ products store when you are just starting. I feel like it makes more sense to have a few (5) well-researched products related to each other and test them. Instead of setting your store with 20+ products and see what works and what not. But happy to hear your insight since I’m not that experience after all. Cheers
I think the logic here is that if the items that do not sell, you never spent money on them to begin with.. So they just exist as fillers. However she does mention running ads for every item, but i think the items can just be bundled when running ads and see what sells then.
Hey Sarah,could you consider making a video on how to work things out when after testing several products, you find a winning product that will give you a lot of sales but then PayPal flags your store for security reasons since you start making more money than usual? How do you handle these things as a newbie? I think when you get in this situation you should be prepared enough but I honestly would not be,so i am really worried about this,because the goal for dropshippers is to find a winning product,but when PayPal holds your account for several weeks,then you are more than sunk because you and your customers get affected.Thank you for all your videos that help me and others to be able to start with dropshipping, I really appreciate your honesty (:
ohsuperstar I'm offering one on one mentoring if your interested I've made 16k+ this month if your wanting full coaching you can contact me on ig at dropship_mentor 👍
Beware that in the EU you are legally obliged to take a product back within 14 days as long as it is unused. Customers have the right to change their mind. The return shipping is usually paid by the customer though.
Do i need money to start ? do i really need to pay for customers product at first until their money transfer ?what if i start a hot product and there are too many orders that i can't afford how is it going to work ? Please help !
Jvst0nTime No, you do not need money, just enough for perhaps adds if you are using shopify, otherwise you can use amazon and buy from aliexpress after your customers have paid you and using their money buy from aliexpress and ship to your customers address , and do not buy in bulk if you are starting out.
i am a new subscriber a beginner but i am web developer on the other side and know about marketing also. Your explanation brings hope and provides me more generic ideas.
#9 Was the One i was waiting to hear from someone who has a successful Dropshipping company. I literally spent the last 14hours binge watching Dropshipping videos and Nun of them even mentioned that. They had me thinking soon as the customer buys the product I use that money to buy the product
Omg you are AWESOME! HAHA hey I am worried because I don't know if I need to set up a business bank account? if I have a regular bank account the bank might say something like, why, and where is this money coming from? and if it is a business why don't you have a business set up? Can this happened? I haven't found videos talking about this =/ HELP lol
I do not have an official "business" account...but I do have a separate checking account that I use ONLY for the business cash flow (all expenses/purchases come out of it, all money made from sales go into it). But it really does help when it comes to bookkeeping for your business...and it makes tax filing quicker because you are not having to comb through your personal checking and sorting business vs personal expenses.
I'm just about to to set up my Shopify store & have subscribed to the Dropship Club. When Ali Express offers a lower price if using the mobile site is this only for bulk purchases or can I use the cheaper price for dropshipping orders? Also the mobile site default to AUD as I'm based in Australia - is it better to purchase the product in AUD (not USD) even though the prices in my store will be in USD? Many thanks Sarah your videos are fantastic!
First of all Apologies for my terrible English, it's not great at all but I just really wanted to leave a comment. Your channel is very informative as I always find myself watching one or more of your videos everyday so I appreciate your time and effort you've putted into this so thank you. I hope you all the best and that this channel gets more credibility, I have subscribed so I don't miss anything!
I like your honesty opinions about everything you don’t go with emotional or trying to attract more viewers. Thanks for sharing this great information.
I’ve applied many different techniques that stated to help me make money on the web within hours but none of them really worked. The good news is, my buddy told me about this money-making approach known as *MyOnlineSelling. Com* This strategy has allowed me to gain over a hundred bucks daily by selling products on ebay and amazon
Brilliant! Some of the ideas I figured out on my own, some I never thought of. Great advice! Don't let these lugnuts below discourage you or get you down. You have a beautiful voice and I understood every word ...this coming from a sixth generation American.
Me and me girlfriend are starting our first dropshipping store with shopify! We've started the store building and adding products! My question is... is outdoor/camping/survival stores a good idea, or a dead end. I do have goal of turning the store into a full company that sells our own products eventually, but for now we are gonna start with dropshipping! Thank a bunch for any help!
If you order in bulk you can negotiate a better price. That’s if you ship to an amazon warehouse. That’s probably what they’re doing and not losing money per sale
Hi Sarah, If shipping takes 14 to 30 days from China to Us or somewhere else why don't you guys buy those product shipped to your house before it sells.
Sarah, this video is super informative like always. Thank you for continuing to make these. I might have some insight into the self stirring mugs selling on Amazon FBA. They're most likely getting the products in bulk from Alibaba instead of AliExpress. On Alibaba you can get those same mugs for as low as $2. So they can sell them on Amazon for almost the same price as the AliExpress sellers and still make a profit.
Yes, either that or they have negotiated with Aliexpress suppliers for low wholesale rates. It was more the point that if you buy individually/small quantities and try to sell on Amazon you won't be making a profit. The profit margins for wholesale Aliexpress products are still razor thin though because FBA fees are HUGE!
My country doesn't support PayPal and Credit Card. I have a Local AliExpress Dropshipping store, use Payoneer to pay. How Can I do it In US using only Payoneer?
I would recommend you to search about VPN. I have not had too much info. But heard of that lets use PayPal. VPN will hide your ip of computer and you will be able to accept payment through PayPal
Thank you for this video! My question is why would someone go on a random online store to buy a product that will take at least 2 weeks to arrive when they can get the same product on Amazon which is the number 1 platform to buy stuff from nowadays and get the product the day after ordering?
What would be better ? - Wordpress website with Ezusy plugin for dropshipping OR Wordpress website with Shopify ($9) plugin + oberlo ?????? Please tell me because I’m confused!
I've not tried either, but definitely the first out of the two, because I'm fairly certain that Oberlo could not work with the Shopify Lite plan (I can't imagine how it could).
Wholesale Ted Thanks a lot 😊😊. I was searching on net and found this on Oberlo website FAQ’s : Can I Use Oberlo With Shopify’s ‘Lite’ Plan? Yes. Oberlo works with the Shopify Lite plan, which lets you sell products using Buy Buttons that connect with a Shopify checkout. So would this work fine on a Wordpress website ??
Im a holistic nurse...please note your color is off.... please look to book Cleanse to Heal by Anthony Williams. Go to your organic fruits and vegetables please.
When you say be clear with your shipping time, what is the best solution to do this? Shipping is usally set after they register isn`t better to have the total sum before they check out?
Wholesale Ted Hi, I'm currently researching drop shipping as a business. Sarah, can you tell me what you mean (in your comment in this thread) by "Public Shipping Name?" I don't know what that is. Thank you for your time and this very informative video. :-)
I have used a variety of strategies that stated to help me earn money on the web within hours but none of them actually did the trick. The good news is, my pal informed me about this money-making strategy at *MyOnlineSelling. Com* . I`m now a day-to-day earner of over hundred dollars! by selling prodcuts on ebay and amazon
Really helpful video. It didn't cross my mind that you yourself have to fund your customers orders as you only get paid a few weeks after the order. Seems so obvious now. Thanks for the help
really if you dont have enough cash to cover a few 5 dollar aliexpress items for a week while your payments clear then you should not even be on the internet let alone thinking of dropshipping
Hi Sarah. So I started a dropshipping store due to being unemployed and wanting to do my own thing, and I've watched all of your videos and literally applied everything that I've learnt from your channel to my store. Although, after months of research on how dropshipping and the marketing for it works, I haven't made any sales yet - even with marketing strategies you suggested. I didn't use Shopify, as I am in South Africa and we don't have as easy access to credit cards without employment as in other countries. So I made my store with Wix. Is there a possibility that I can send you my store link that you can check it out and give me pointers? Because I'm desperate and it feels like I've wasted money. Thank you, your videos are always so informative - you are an inspiration.
Sarah, I always appreciate all the information you share with us. I have a question in regards to doing business with companies in China. I have been researching using Ali Express, Bangood, DH Gate etc. At what point should I consider using the services of a middleman to act on my behalf, who would deal with the companies in regards to getting me the best deals on products, verify the quality and handle shipping? The items I am considering selling are all related to outdoor living and recreation. I am talking about solar panels, turbines, controls etc for off grid living in an rv. Any comments good and bad would be sincerely appreciated
Omg your accent is the best. xD 3:00 "the kess of deeth" Gotta love the Kiwi accent.

Good info!. But... at min 8:53 there is a transcription error in the subtitles. Must say "...not ADD a handful of", instead of "...They´ll add a handful of...". That error changes the whole idea.
Discovered dropshipping about a month ago. Created webstore, added products and had been running engagement ads for them. But right now clicked this video on youtube and saw the product I was testing in my store, Should I still run ads? or its really oversaturated? It is self stirring mug, What do you think Sarah? CHEERS!
Everytime I watch these vids there are always these guys in the comments saying how pretty you are or how beautiful you are. Does this drive you crazy?? Cause it would drive me bonkers!! Please all Dudes! Control yourselves! She’s never ever ever ever ever going to even consider a freakin MoMo who compliments her like that. Besides I think Sarah is a robot. Developed by Amazon. Not sure tho...
TonyLittleNutz That’s just the internet. Half of the people around here clicked on this video because of the thumbnail and have zero idea what they are doing here...it is how it is.
Lol it’s so funny how you even thought about this. I haven’t seen more than 2 lover boy comments “in this video”. I see what you’re doing, ha you’re trying to stand out and gain some points by making others look bad lol... you’re just mad cuz they beat you to it. Hahaha control yourself🤣😉
I didn't even think about checking shipping until last night and half my store is about 30 days shipping. My bank says that if you don't get an item in 30 days you can go through your bank for a refund. So a customer could get a refund and get the item. I had to redo a lot and really focus on ship time and US based items.
Heya Sarah, im newbie, followed and watch your videos even downloaded your e-book. I already created a store and my problem is the payment provider. I never knew my store was default on NZD currency. Now i made my first sell a week ago but in NZD currency. So i have to pay extra cost because buying in aliexp is in USD currency. I reckon you need also to mention my experience here in your video and what can be the possible solutions. NZ stripe payment does not support USDollars. Please and Thank you.
The current solution for non-USA residents is to switch off Stripe and to use PayPal. When you do that you can change your payment to USD only. I'm looking/researching a solution that can allow non-USA residents to use Stripe (without partnering with a USA citizen, the current work-around for that). But for now, stick to PayPal!
I find this information helpful as I'm considering dropping. However, I have done exactly as you suggested already - set up my own store and drive traffic to it, BUT it doesn't work. I mean, I get no sales on a website that nobody has ever heard of... I get sales everyday on eBay, plus they do the advertising for me. That is the only reason I would consider dropping on eBay. I would love to leave eBay, but since it brings in the cash, it's hard to leave. Any ideas how to make a non-name brand website actually get customers? I tried for several months and couldn't figure it out. I also tried using Google to get visits, but all it did was cost me money with no sales.
If you've already got eBay ratings, wouldn't it cost more to set up your own store, wouldn't that involve hosting fees, maintenance costs, advertising, programs etc that soon adds up..?
I honestly love her face and the quality of her voice, its just too fast for me. I'm downloading it and playing it back at a bit of a slower speed. She sounds really knowledgeable!
9:39 #9 If we don’t get the money from Paypal instantly, how much do you think you should have up front? What if you have some but your product sells in the hundreds and you don’t have enough? Thanks for the video 👌
Every time I know a DROP SHIPPERS ORDERS from me I always include an invoice ALWAYS! And if they leave a bad rating amazon removes it because I followed AMAZON POLICY😂😂😂😂
@Bananabread Yum this person shows them what the item actually costs to buy from the supplier I think. So when the person buying it sees it they obviously get annoyed and leave bad review.
So - who has any dropshipping questions? :)
Hi. What is the best traffic source? Just about to finish my store but will need the traffic soon. Thank you!
There is no "best" traffic source per-say. They each have their own pros/cons. The most scaleable traffic source though has to be Facebook ads.
Got a few questions. First though, thanks for all the great info; super helpful.

I know you recommended the latter in your 'free Facebook traffic' video but that was almost a year ago, so when setting up the Facebook page that you'll be using to promote products, do you recommend using the brand of your store, or just a general niche page (e.g. for the dog niche the page might be called Dog Lovers USA or something)?

Will really appreciate a response :)
Thank you Wholesale Ted. This is my second video of yours that I have watched. I am really liking the delivery and easy listening of the video.

Beware that in the EU you are legally obliged to take a product back within 14 days as long as it is unused. Customers have the right to change their mind. The return shipping is usually paid by the customer though.
Do i need money to start ? do i really need to pay for customers product at first until their money transfer ?what if i start a hot product and there are too many orders that i can't afford how is it going to work ? Please help !
Jvst0nTime No, you do not need money, just enough for perhaps adds if you are using shopify, otherwise you can use amazon and buy from aliexpress after your customers have paid you and using their money buy from aliexpress and ship to your customers address
, and do not buy in bulk if you are starting out.
i am a new subscriber a beginner but i am web developer on the other side and know about marketing also.
Your explanation brings hope and provides me more generic ideas.
Check this if you are a beginner
#9 Was the One i was waiting to hear from someone who has a successful Dropshipping company. I literally spent the last 14hours binge watching Dropshipping videos and Nun of them even mentioned that. They had me thinking soon as the customer buys the product I use that money to buy the product
Very useful and valuable information. Thank you so much. You are definitely my favorite. You explain everything clearly.
Hey how long should I hold on to a losing product till I take it off my store
Very helpful. Which dropshipping do you choose? I choose CJ dropshipping which is fantastic.
Omg you are AWESOME! HAHA hey I am worried because I don't know if I need to set up a business bank account? if I have a regular bank account the bank might say something like, why, and where is this money coming from? and if it is a business why don't you have a business set up? Can this happened? I haven't found videos talking about this =/ HELP lol
Dan I think it’s a good idea to keep it separate just so you can keep track of all the business money. Open a separate bank account for your business.
I do not have an official "business" account...but I do have a separate checking account that I use ONLY for the business cash flow (all expenses/purchases come out of it, all money made from sales go into it). But it really does help when it comes to bookkeeping for your business...and it makes tax filing quicker because you are not having to comb through your personal checking and sorting business vs personal expenses.
I'm just about to to set up my Shopify store & have subscribed to the Dropship Club. When Ali Express offers a lower price if using the mobile site is this only for bulk purchases or can I use the cheaper price for dropshipping orders? Also the mobile site default to AUD as I'm based in Australia - is it better to purchase the product in AUD (not USD) even though the prices in my store will be in USD? Many thanks Sarah your videos are fantastic!
First of all Apologies for my terrible English, it's not great at all but I just really wanted to leave a comment. Your channel is very informative as I always find myself watching one or more of your videos everyday so I appreciate your time and effort you've putted into this so thank you. I hope you all the best and that this channel gets more credibility, I have subscribed so I don't miss anything!
Broly your English is perfectly fine my friend keep up the hard work!
Broly please, you dont need good english if you're the Legendary Sayan
hello , can i contact on whatsapp i am new here this is my whatsapp number : +2126078881880
I like your honesty opinions about everything you don’t go with emotional or trying to attract more viewers. Thanks for sharing this great information.
Love seeing NZ content like this - keep up the great work, your videos are great!
I’ve applied many different techniques that stated to help me make money on the web within hours but none of them really worked. The good news is, my buddy told me about this money-making approach known as *MyOnlineSelling. Com* This strategy has allowed me to gain over a hundred bucks daily by selling products on ebay and amazon
Brilliant! Some of the ideas I figured out on my own, some I never thought of. Great advice! Don't let these lugnuts below discourage you or get you down. You have a beautiful voice and I understood every word ...this coming from a sixth generation American.
I found She is so pretty and her informations are really very knowledgable.
Me and me girlfriend are starting our first dropshipping store with shopify! We've started the store building and adding products! My question is... is outdoor/camping/survival stores a good idea, or a dead end. I do have goal of turning the store into a full company that sells our own products eventually, but for now we are gonna start with dropshipping! Thank a bunch for any help!
Great video. Like Sarah shipping too gives me a headache.
Haha! It's problematic countries that give me a headache ;P
If you order in bulk you can negotiate a better price. That’s if you ship to an amazon warehouse. That’s probably what they’re doing and not losing money per sale
I love Sarah so much, amen. 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching :)
Hi Sarah, If shipping takes 14 to 30 days from China to Us or somewhere else why don't you guys buy those product shipped to your house before it sells.
2:58 "Negative reviews are the KESS UV DEETH."
I had to watch that like 6 times I was dying laughing LOL.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
fucking clown lmaoo
Feel good about yourself now?
Wow, you are so smart!
Sarah, this video is super informative like always. Thank you for continuing to make these.
I might have some insight into the self stirring mugs selling on Amazon FBA. They're most likely getting the products in bulk from Alibaba instead of AliExpress. On Alibaba you can get those same mugs for as low as $2. So they can sell them on Amazon for almost the same price as the AliExpress sellers and still make a profit.
Yes, either that or they have negotiated with Aliexpress suppliers for low wholesale rates. It was more the point that if you buy individually/small quantities and try to sell on Amazon you won't be making a profit. The profit margins for wholesale Aliexpress products are still razor thin though because FBA fees are HUGE!
In Europe people can return within 2 weeks any product for any reason. It's the law.
Eagle not on hygienic products
amazon fba sellers use alibaba instead of alibaba express for bulk orders that are many times cheaper
The mug goes for 6 dollars for the single piece on AliExpress if you check on Alibaba and maybe buy 500 pieces probably it goes for 2 dollars a piece
setting up a private company in South Africa costs 175 rand less that 15 dollars US
My country doesn't support PayPal and Credit Card. I have a Local AliExpress Dropshipping store, use Payoneer to pay. How Can I do it In US using only Payoneer?
The truth is that I don't recommend starting dropshipping store if you can't accept payments with either Stripe or PayPal, sorry! :(
I would recommend you to search about VPN. I have not had too much info. But heard of that lets use PayPal. VPN will hide your ip of computer and you will be able to accept payment through PayPal
Your country also probably wont support dropshipping
)
Thank you for this video! My question is why would someone go on a random online store to buy a product that will take at least 2 weeks to arrive when they can get the same product on Amazon which is the number 1 platform to buy stuff from nowadays and get the product the day after ordering?
What would be better ? -
Wordpress website with Ezusy plugin for dropshipping
OR
Wordpress website with Shopify ($9) plugin + oberlo
??????
Please tell me because I’m confused!
I've not tried either, but definitely the first out of the two, because I'm fairly certain that Oberlo could not work with the Shopify Lite plan (I can't imagine how it could).
Wholesale Ted Thanks a lot 😊😊.
I was searching on net and found this on Oberlo website FAQ’s :
Can I Use Oberlo With Shopify’s ‘Lite’ Plan?
Yes. Oberlo works with the Shopify Lite plan, which lets you sell products using Buy Buttons that connect with a Shopify checkout.
So would this work fine on a Wordpress website ??
Yes, Oberlo and Shopify will work on a Wordpress website. I'm not sure which one is better though.
Im a holistic nurse...please note your color is off.... please look to book Cleanse to Heal by Anthony Williams. Go to your organic fruits and vegetables please.
When you say be clear with your shipping time, what is the best solution to do this? Shipping is usally set after they register isn`t better to have the total sum before they check out?
A super easy way is to include a note in the public shipping name, e.g. have it be "Free Shipping (2-4 weeks)"
Wholesale Ted all theae small tips is really gonna help me!
Wholesale Ted Hi, I'm currently researching drop shipping as a business. Sarah, can you tell me what you mean (in your comment in this thread) by "Public Shipping Name?" I don't know what that is. Thank you for your time and this very informative video. :-)
Public shipping name is usually found in the header of your store...check the theme for headers. You put it in there, for instance free shipping etc.
CJ Dropshipping can offer fast shipping to the US.
I got my first sale last week amazon to ebay dropshipping. However I plan on going to shopify next week. Will implement all of this. Thanks
Save yourself 10 minutes, the list is in the description
I have used a variety of strategies that stated to help me earn money on the web within hours but none of them actually did the trick. The good news is, my pal informed me about this money-making strategy at *MyOnlineSelling. Com* . I`m now a day-to-day earner of over hundred dollars! by selling prodcuts on ebay and amazon
Hi... please share more about how to do refund policy & return policy & goods exchange policy. Thank you.
Thank you.......😊😊
Really helpful video. It didn't cross my mind that you yourself have to fund your customers orders as you only get paid a few weeks after the order. Seems so obvious now. Thanks for the help
People still use ali express for dropshipping? Can't see that being a thing for more than one more year.
Well it's been a thing now for years and years... so I don't see why it's going to stop in a year when it's been going strong for so long ;)
Been doing that for years man :D
more power to you guys!
Kris McCauley how does that make sense Bro why would aliexpress stop working
He thinks is gonna be saturated, little does he know this system will last some good time
#9 fully contradicts an idea that one needs ZERO investments to start dropshipping. Thanks for the valuable information.
really if you dont have enough cash to cover a few 5 dollar aliexpress items for a week while your payments clear then you should not even be on the internet let alone thinking of dropshipping
Hi Sarah, just wondering if the LLC advice would also apply to Canada? I'm assuming it would
(it would)
It is refreshing to finally see someone honest!
Hi Sarah. So I started a dropshipping store due to being unemployed and wanting to do my own thing, and I've watched all of your videos and literally applied everything that I've learnt from your channel to my store. Although, after months of research on how dropshipping and the marketing for it works, I haven't made any sales yet - even with marketing strategies you suggested. I didn't use Shopify, as I am in South Africa and we don't have as easy access to credit cards without employment as in other countries. So I made my store with Wix. Is there a possibility that I can send you my store link that you can check it out and give me pointers? Because I'm desperate and it feels like I've wasted money.
Thank you, your videos are always so informative - you are an inspiration.
Use Shopify
I did state why I can't use shopify.
How's it going on now Carli? Any improvements on your sales?
Rick Sanchez how about wordpress
Carli Die Sonneblom how about wordpress
Sarah, I always appreciate all the information you share with us. I have a question in regards to doing business with companies in China. I have been researching using Ali Express, Bangood, DH Gate etc. At what point should I consider using the services of a middleman to act on my behalf, who would deal with the companies in regards to getting me the best deals on products, verify the quality and handle shipping? The items I am considering selling are all related to outdoor living and recreation. I am talking about solar panels, turbines, controls etc for off grid living in an rv. Any comments good and bad would be sincerely appreciated
Omg your accent is the best. xD 3:00 "the kess of deeth" Gotta love the Kiwi accent.
Good info!. But... at min 8:53 there is a transcription error in the subtitles. Must say "...not ADD a handful of", instead of "...They´ll add a handful of...". That error changes the whole idea.
Sarah, you're amazing. Thank you so much for all these videos!
Discovered dropshipping about a month ago. Created webstore, added products and had been running engagement ads for them. But right now clicked this video on youtube and saw the product I was testing in my store, Should I still run ads? or its really oversaturated? It is self stirring mug, What do you think Sarah? CHEERS!
Everytime I watch these vids there are always these guys in the comments saying how pretty you are or how beautiful you are. Does this drive you crazy?? Cause it would drive me bonkers!! Please all Dudes! Control yourselves! She’s never ever ever ever ever going to even consider a freakin MoMo who compliments her like that. Besides I think Sarah is a robot. Developed by Amazon. Not sure tho...
TonyLittleNutz
That’s just the internet. Half of the people around here clicked on this video because of the thumbnail and have zero idea what they are doing here...it is how it is.
hmm...you know I think she just may be an robot.🤔
We can do without rude people
Lol it’s so funny how you even thought about this. I haven’t seen more than 2 lover boy comments “in this video”. I see what you’re doing, ha you’re trying to stand out and gain some points by making others look bad lol... you’re just mad cuz they beat you to it. Hahaha control yourself🤣😉
TonyLittleNutz This is a female?
I didn't even think about checking shipping until last night and half my store is about 30 days shipping. My bank says that if you don't get an item in 30 days you can go through your bank for a refund. So a customer could get a refund and get the item. I had to redo a lot and really focus on ship time and US based items.
Heya Sarah, im newbie, followed and watch your videos even downloaded your e-book. I already created a store and my problem is the payment provider. I never knew my store was default on NZD currency. Now i made my first sell a week ago but in NZD currency. So i have to pay extra cost because buying in aliexp is in USD currency. I reckon you need also to mention my experience here in your video and what can be the possible solutions. NZ stripe payment does not support USDollars. Please and Thank you.
The current solution for non-USA residents is to switch off Stripe and to use PayPal. When you do that you can change your payment to USD only. I'm looking/researching a solution that can allow non-USA residents to use Stripe (without partnering with a USA citizen, the current work-around for that). But for now, stick to PayPal!
Wholesale Ted Thanks heaps Sarah. Your a great help.
What are your thoughts on making single-product dropshipping sites?
LOL the way she said "you are sunk" 9:59
I love it.
I find this information helpful as I'm considering dropping. However, I have done exactly as you suggested already - set up my own store and drive traffic to it, BUT it doesn't work. I mean, I get no sales on a website that nobody has ever heard of... I get sales everyday on eBay, plus they do the advertising for me. That is the only reason I would consider dropping on eBay. I would love to leave eBay, but since it brings in the cash, it's hard to leave. Any ideas how to make a non-name brand website actually get customers? I tried for several months and couldn't figure it out. I also tried using Google to get visits, but all it did was cost me money with no sales.
Wow! This is the best tutorial on running a dropshipping store that I 've watched so far! Thank you
If you've already got eBay ratings, wouldn't it cost more to set up your own store, wouldn't that involve hosting fees, maintenance costs, advertising, programs etc that soon adds up..?
That damn guitar mug is n°1 is sales in mug section now xD
Research is so important in this zone. I haven't started yet dropship ping. Let's go through the videos first. Great video and value. Many thanks.

Have you done a video on products liability insurance? I haven't heard this mentioned yet and it would be a good video to do.
So hard to concentrate when your talking 🤩

Yeah her voice and face is really disturbing
I honestly love her face and the quality of her voice, its just too fast for me. I'm downloading it and playing it back at a bit of a slower speed. She sounds really knowledgeable!
You're*. Back to school, son
you're*
9:39 #9 If we don’t get the money from Paypal instantly, how much do you think you should have up front? What if you have some but your product sells in the hundreds and you don’t have enough? Thanks for the video 👌
Every time I know a DROP SHIPPERS ORDERS from me I always include an invoice ALWAYS! And if they leave a bad rating amazon removes it because I followed AMAZON POLICY😂😂😂😂
nothing to laugh about you could ruin their business
@Bananabread Yum this person shows them what the item actually costs to buy from the supplier I think. So when the person buying it sees it they obviously get annoyed and leave bad review.
Thx 4 sharing QUEEN. Just liked & subscribed to your channel. Many Blessings!🙏🏾
