Surely each of you thought about opening your own business at least once. There are many options and ideas: services, sales, mediation, etc.

Of course, every type of business has its pros and cons. It would help if you had significant investments; there are considerable risks somewhere.

What is….

Dropshipping emerged in the early 2000s in the United States, during a crisis where people turned to online shopping to save on everyday goods. In a nutshell, dropshipping is essentially an intermediary business model, connecting suppliers and buyers. Though the concept isn’t new, the online format makes it more convenient and faster. In today’s world, transferring processes online has clear advantages over in-person interactions.

Here’s a breakdown of the dropshipping process:

Therefore, many business people turned their attention to China. The same goods that are on American marketplaces are much cheaper in China. The Chinese market is full of ideas and unique products that cannot be found in any other country. 

When talking about Chinese dropshipping, the first thing that comes to mind is Aliexpress. This giant of the Chinese market has 200 million buyers. Aliexpress has taken a strong position in the world of dropshipping thanks to two essential points – low prices and a large selection of goods. Thanks to the low prices, you can make a big profit compared to other marketplaces.

The number of suppliers on AliExpress is enormous, so you will always have a choice. It is optional to stop at one supplier, and it is quite possible to cooperate with several. You can only do what is profitable and convenient for you.

AliExpress always provides opportunities for the development of your business. Experienced dropshippers sometimes joke that AliExpress was born to drop. And we cannot but agree with them, seeing a massive number of successful people in business who have made their capital on AliExpress.

Researching Products to Sell

At the moment, AliExpress has 30 product categories. Each category has 10 to 20 subcategories. As in any marketplace on AliExpress, there are filters for searching. You can select products by cost, rating, shipping cost, and personal parameters for each category by topic, such as material, brand, color, size, etc. Thus, each product on AliExpress has up to 10 specifics. A massive selection of goods allows you to find more premium and budget solutions.

You are mistaken if you are sure the Chinese market is cheap and low-quality. Here you can find high-quality, expensive goods from large manufacturers famous for their high quality and an order of magnitude higher price. Yes, most goods are of the middle and low price segment. But you will find them here if you want to dropship high-end products. If we analyze the categories of AliExpress, we will see that they all contain consumer goods. That is what people need all the time. There are no antiques or, for example, ample equipment. There are specialized online or offline stores for this.

On AliExpress, you can make purchases at least every day because there is also food here. The Chinese are the most creative people, so even in the usual categories, you can find unusual goods (such, for example, glasses in the form of bat wings or cat-dog gloves and socks). Each product has a detailed description and a sufficient number of high-quality images.

How to find profitable products on AliExpress

AliExpress allows you to choose from a variety of products from different categories. Most of the goods on AliExpress are goods for which there is a stable demand (clothes, appliances, accessories, etc.). But even among popular products, you can choose those that will lead to losses. To avoid losses and make a profit, consider some principles for choosing profitable products on AliExpress.

So, your goal is high-quality and inexpensive goods for which you can set the maximum margin. But first, take the following steps to search for top products on AliExpress.

You don’t have to stop at just one. You can combine or alternate these methods to achieve the best result.

To make it easier for you to choose, we have compiled a selection of the most popular products on AliExpress over the past three months.

1. Gadgets and accessories for them firmly settled in the first place. No wonder electronic technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. We fall asleep and wake up with a smartphone in our hands. We have to be constantly in touch. Otherwise, we feel uncomfortable. Smartphones are not only a tool but also part of the image of a modern person. Therefore, the following products for gadgets are trendy:

2. We give second place to sports topics. Fitness, sports, and proper nutrition have become popular in recent years. People began to follow their health, so the paraphernalia of a healthy lifestyle is in great demand. You can choose the following products from the sports category:

3. Beauty products. This category includes not only decorative and care cosmetics but also dietary supplements, perfumes, etc. over the past two years, the demand for goods in this category has grown by an average of 5% per year. Popular beauty products:

4. Household appliances. This category includes goods that are larger and more expensive. However, even if you’re new to dropshipping, you can add this category to your eBay store. The markup on these items is high. If you have chosen products from little-known brands, do not hesitate to provide discounts to attract customers. Among the most popular products in the household appliances category:

5. Another category of popular products is everyday goods: soap, shaving foam, dishwashing detergent, toothpaste, toilet paper, and washing powder.

Identifying top-selling products on eBay

eBay is a great place to start your dropshipping business. According to unofficial data, about 35% of sellers on eBay are dropshippers. This figure shows that eBay is popular among droppers. There are several reasons for this. First, ease of use. Registration, adding listings, communicating with buyers – all this is clear and understandable on eBay. The second reason is the considerable number of buyers who shop online daily. In 2022, the number of registered buyers on eBay reached 180 million people. In addition, the commission from sales on eBay is relatively small – 13%. Another essential feature of eBay is the ability to sell non-new products.

eBay is constantly evolving and improving to support both buyers and sellers. There are new ways to pay for purchases. eBay is entirely self-sufficient and does not need external advertising. You can promote goods inside the site; eBay has all the tools.

According to purchase statistics, the most popular products on eBay are:

As you can see, some popular categories on eBay coincide with the same categories of goods on AliExpress.

In addition to popular products, you must remember that there are also prohibited ones. eBay operates in 8 countries of the world, and each has its characteristics. You can find the banned items in each country on eBay itself. In addition, however, generic items are banned in all countries. Here is a list of products that cannot be added to your store:

This list needs to be completed. Before adding products to your store, read eBay’s list of prohibited items. It is crucial because eBay enforces strict sanctions against sellers who post a listing with a prohibited item. It can be either a restriction on the sale of goods or more stringent measures (lowering the seller’s rating, deleting all your listings, or blocking your account).

Navigating the eBay marketplace to find product ideas

On eBay, like in any other marketplace, you can choose products by filters. But instead of stars and the number of sales, there is a selection by brands, parameters (color, size), and daily deals – this is a section of the most significant discounts for today. Here you can find the best deals. There is also a Sales & Events section – sales with good discounts. You can take ideas for choosing products in these sections. But remember that these sections may include completely different products every day.

You can study reviews of products or sellers and conclude their popularity. If there are no reviews for the product, it has recently appeared on sale or is unpopular. Such products are best avoided, especially for beginners in dropshipping. At the beginning of the journey, your goal is to promote goods for which great demand exists.

Setting Up Your Dropshipping Business Step by Step

Step 1 – Creating an eBay account

Creating an eBay account is very easy. First, click on the register in the top left corner.

As you can see, the registration process on eBay is rapid and easy.

Step 2 – Setting up a PayPal account

Paypal is the most popular payment method on most marketplaces. To enable your customers to pay for purchases, set up your PayPal account and link it to your eBay store. If PayPal is the most convenient payment method for you, then there is an option on eBay Tell Buyers that I prefer PayPal payments.

Step 3 – Setting up an AliExpress account

Registering on AliExpress is more accessible than on eBay or other marketplaces.

Select the icon in the upper right corner, fill in the data (work email and password), and the account is ready. Now you can select products and shop like a regular shopper.

Step 4 – Finding and working with suppliers on AliExpress

Choosing suppliers is one of the essential steps in your dropshipping business. The ideal option would be to find a reliable supplier that only sells high-quality products, ships just in time, and works with a fast shipping service. In reality, this is only sometimes quick and easy to do. You may have to change providers more than once. But don’t be afraid to let go of things you don’t like. Read reviews from genuine buyers. Check the supplier’s hours of operation. If he just entered the market, does not have a single review, and does not inspire confidence in you, refuse to work with him. Even if his goods are attractively low-priced, avoid risking your business.

On the other hand, if you have the desire and ability, order the product from your potential supplier. So you can draw a conclusion based on your own experience. And it will be easier for you to decide on cooperation with him.

Step 5 – Setting up a website or online store

You decide what is preferable – a website or a store on a well-known marketplace. We can give some advice based on the experience of our clients. The first thing you should pay attention to is the products you sell. As we wrote earlier, eBay has a list of prohibited items, which is pretty impressive. If you want to sell something from this list in your online store, it’s not worth the risk with eBay. Better create a website with an online store. In this case, the difficulty will arise only with the presence of customers. You have just started your business journey and need a target audience. In this case, advertising in social networks comes to the rescue. It is by far the best way to attract new customers. As your online store develops and advances, more buyers will come to you who share their impressions of shopping with you. But pay attention to a good promotion in the beginning.

Registering your store on eBay is an excellent option for a beginner. Yes, this site has many seller requirements, but eBay also has many advantages. Firstly, a considerable number of buyers every day. Your store will only be left with the attention of buyers in any case. Secondly, eBay is convenient with the available market promotion funds. You can attract buyers through eBay without needing third-party advertising services.

Listing Products on eBay

Save as a draft – you can stop and continue editing the listing later. template saved in drafts

Cancel – if you change your mind about publishing the listing, cancel this process.

– Importing products from AliExpress to eBay

To add listings on eBay, use the instructions from the previous paragraph. If you’re adding a small number of listings, it’s easy to do it yourself manually. You find the listing you like on Ali and copy it entirely to your eBay store. But if the number of listings is quite large, and it will be problematic to add manually, we recommend using Easync. All you need to do is add a list of product ids to this menu and click the button. The process will be fully automatic and will take no more than 10 minutes.

– Optimizing product titles and descriptions

According to statistics, headlines longer than 60 characters are the most popular. eBay puts up captions with a maximum length of 80 characters. Thus, consider your headline to meet this limit. The title should be informative and concise. Please find similar products from competitors and analyze their titles. The title should contain the keywords that buyers enter in the search bar. Do not include dimensions or color in the title. These parameters are indicated in the description. Format your headings well and beautifully. Do not use capital letters in every word. Avoid extra characters like asterisks or brackets. Extra characters can lower your product in search queries.

Pay due attention to the product description. Provide all necessary details. The more detailed information you provide, the higher the chance your product appears at the top of search queries.

eBay allows you to add 12 photos to a listing for free. Use this opportunity and add the maximum number of photos. If AliExpress offers more photos, choose the most successful ones and add them.

– Setting competitive prices and margins

When setting the price of a product, consider the price of competitors. Analyze and compare prices for similar products and set an average price. It will allow you to occupy a niche and avoid losses firmly. Also, take into account the commissions that you will have to pay eBay, PayPal, and pay for an automation service (if you use it).

However, remember promotions and discounts. It’s a great way to attract new customers. At the beginning of your business, spend them more often. Use social networks and email newsletters.

Fulfilling Orders and Managing Customer Service

– Processing orders on AliExpress

Ordering on AliExpress is effortless. You select the desired product and click on the Buy now button.

Then enter the data and address of your buyer, and you’re done. The goods are sent for processing and then sent to your buyer. Keep in mind the shipping side. Delivery time may increase depending on the supplier and the country where you do business.

– Handling customer inquiries and concerns

If you have any difficulties with an order on eBay, you can quickly resolve it by contacting AliExpress. Ali is always on the side of the buyer. Within 90 days, you can contact the seller and solve all the problems with the order. You can also open a dispute if resolving the problem directly with the seller is impossible.

Try to settle all your difficulties with your buyers on eBay peacefully. Reply to messages in time. Be polite in any conflict situation. It will positively affect your reputation and seller rating.

– Managing returns and refunds

Ali provides a free return of goods within 15 days from receipt. Be sure to specify this period when setting up your shipping policy on eBay. AliExpress returns the money if the goods still need to be received. Also, if the item arrives but needs to be of better quality, you can open a dispute and most likely receive a refund.

Always go to meet your customers. A good attitude is appreciated and guarantees that the buyer will return to you again. Similarly, it is worth building friendly relationships with suppliers.

In our article, we considered all the nuances so that it is easier for you to understand whether you want to choose this particular niche. So, let’s start with the positive side of the issue.

Advantages of Dropshipping Pet Products

Reduced Risk and Cost

As we have mentioned before, dropshipping is a low-risk business. You refrain from investing large sums in purchasing goods and their storage in a warehouse or store. You do not risk receiving a defective product.

You choose those offers that are bought and tested for you. Yes, there is always a risk of buying low-quality goods, but in dropshipping, it is reduced to a minimum.

Those resources that you would spend on purchasing and storage, you can spend on promoting your store, for example. Advertising is expensive, but it is essential for your promotion.

Even if your buyer received a product of inadequate quality, you issue a return on your source market. You are an intermediary who receives all the benefits from this business model.

Flexibility in Product Offerings

Dropshipping is an online trading model with minimal risks. First, you don’t need to have a large (or small quantity) of goods in stock. You will only lose your money if the product you list in your online store won’t sell. It is flexible in product offerings. You always focus on your customers’ needs and form an assortment based on this. The product has been bought only once in a few weeks – feel free to replace it with another one!

Scalability of the Business

Dropshipping stores offer the opportunity for constant expansion, and as your pet business grows, you can continuously add new products. In recent years, pet ownership has become increasingly popular, making it an ideal industry to focus on. Here are five key points to consider when developing your dropshipping store:

Choose a Reliable Supplier

Choosing a supplier is almost half the success of your business. Approach it responsibly and carefully. Study all the reviews about the seller, analyze his products, and look at his rating.

If you wish, you can order any product from him. So you will understand from your own experience whether it is worth starting cooperation with him.

Challenges of Dropshipping Pet Products

Finding a Trusted Supplier

Identifying a trustworthy supplier can be an uphill battle, as every market has its own set of challenges. It’s important to remember that even top-notch suppliers might have a few negative reviews or occasional issues. Here are several recommendations and suggestions to assist you in finding a reliable supplier:

By taking these recommendations and suggestions into account, you can enhance your likelihood of securing a reliable supplier who will contribute to your business’s success.

Shipping and Logistics

This point is inextricably linked to the previous one. Even if a conscientious seller sends goods of good quality and on time, there is no guarantee that unforeseen circumstances will not happen during delivery.

Parcels may be damaged or lost, or delayed. Of course, this will not be a plus in your dropshipping business.

Unfortunately, it is only possible to trust the delivery services partially. However, it is an inevitable risk that you will always have to consider.

Competition in the Market

Pet products are a popular niche these days. Naturally, the popularity of a product category makes it attractive to many sellers. Thus the competition increases. Now many are opening online stores with dog products or cat clothes.

To stay afloat, you need to control the supply market. Competitors often lower the price to attract buyers.

You need to analyze competitors’ prices and choose the cost of your goods based on this.

Pay attention

Staying Ahead of Competition

The best way to reduce competition is to stand out with something special. In the dropshipping business, there are two fundamental ways to achieve this.

Providing Excellent Customer Service

Good customer service is primarily about communicating with customers. If you have made an email newsletter or launched advertising on social networks, be prepared for people to start writing to you. Always respond to messages as quickly and concisely as possible.

People like to start immediately. It will also be essential to set up the automatic sending of messages with each purchase. Be kind. Write nice words to the buyer, such as ‘Thank you for choosing us’ or ‘Have a nice day’.

If the buyer wants to cancel the order or return the purchase, please get in touch with the supplier and arrange your buyer’s request. People appreciate a good attitude. Always try to build a good relationship with every buyer. Your seller rating will be high enough if you provide excellent customer service.

Conclusion

So let’s sum up today’s topic.

Dropshipping is an excellent opportunity to start your online business without a significant initial investment. You can create your website or open a store on one of the famous sites.

The most popular marketplaces are eBay, Shopify, and WooCommerce. Each of them has pros and cons. If you choose eBay, you are guaranteed many buyers daily. Millions of people go to eBay to shop. However, it is worth considering that you will have high competition on eBay.

And in the modern world, there is a tendency to increase their popularity. Not only children but also adults love puppies or cats.

The footwear niche has great potential for two reasons. First, we are obsessed with shoes as they lay the foundation for the image we want to showcase. Second, 74% of global footwear spend is online.

If dropshipping shoes sounds like an idea, keep it right here. We have shared tips on finding reliable dropshipping shoes suppliers and working strategies to launch and grow your shoes dropshipping business.

Finding Dropshipping Suppliers for Shoes

While dropshipping can be lucrative, statistics show that the success rate ranges between 10% and 20%. One of the main reasons most dropshipping businesses fail is that entrepreneurs don’t have reliable suppliers.

So, why is finding a dropshipping supplier crucial to the success of the business?

Well. Finding the right supplier is crucial as it affects several dynamics, including;

A good dropshipping supplier will offer you a wide variety of high-quality shoes at the best prices. Consequently, you can be assured of customer satisfaction and the best margins. And it doesn’t end there. You will grow your brand and reputation and ease operations as delivery will be prompt, and your operations will be smooth.

What Makes a Good Dropshipping Supplier?

Before diving into how to find the best dropshipping supplier for shoes, you must understand what makes a good supplier. Below is the checklist.

How to Find a Dropshipping Supplier for Shoes

Now that you know what makes a good dropshipping supplier, let’s find out how to find the best supplier.

So, how do you find the best and most reliable shoe dropshipping supplier?

1. Use Search Engines

Search engines, for example, Google and Bing, will be pivotal in your quest for the best shoe dropshipping supplier. Search various search terms related to dropshipping shoe suppliers and closely examine the results you find on the first page.

Some of the key search terms include;

Basically, search the terms and keywords related to the kind of shoes you want to sell.

2. Supplier Directories

Let’s face it, using search engines to find dropshipping suppliers can be tedious. Luckily, we have dropshipping directories. Supplier directories are a smart way to quickly search and browse a large volume of dropshipping suppliers. As a result, you can save a lot of time using a supplier directory instead of manually searching for suppliers on Google.

Now, there are free and paid dropshipping supplier directories. So, what’s the best option?

Well, the best option is paid directories as they have broader lists of suppliers, with up-to-date details of the supplier’s details including location and current contacts. Besides, suppliers on paid directories have been vetted. So, you can be sure you are dealing with a credible manufacturer, not scammers. 

3. Try Out Niche Scrapers

Dropshipping is for savvy online entrepreneurs that make data-driven decisions. For starters, niche scrapers are software and tools that help dropshippers find profitable products for their stores. They use high-tech algorithms and data analysis systems to search for the best shoes to sell. The searches are done on well-known eCommerce sites like Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Shopify, etc.

With a niche scraper, you can find shoes that meet specific criteria, for example, best sellers, low competition, high-profit margins, etc. This way, you can make better decisions on the best suppliers for the specific shoes you want to sell, the margins, and so on. While most niche scrapers attract subscription fees, they are worth every penny as they increase the chances of success and profitability in this competitive niche of dropshipping shoes.

4. Attend Trade Shows and Conferences

Whether you are starting or already in business, attending trade shows and conferences can be a great way to expand your supplier list. At these events, manufacturers, wholesalers, and suppliers showcase their products, in this case, shoes.

So how do you go about it? 

5. Order From Competitors

Another smart way of getting a supplier is ordering from your competitors. It’s not hard to find out who your competitors are, but the source of their products may not be easy to get. 

Even though you will need to spend money unnecessarily, you can get the source of those fashionable heels or sneakers by ordering them from your competitor. Once the order arrives, you can trace its source, the supplier.

6. Referrals

You can also build your dropshipping supplier list by seeking referrals. Maybe you have a friend or family who is into dropshipping. Ask them. They might provide insightful advice on the best dropshipping shoe manufacturers. And it’s not just friends and family. You can also seek the advice of dropshipping experts on dropshipping forums and other communities.

Domestic vs. Overseas Suppliers

Now that you know how to find dropshipping suppliers for shoes, the next hurdle is deciding between domestic and overseas suppliers.

So which supplier should you go for?

A domestic dropshipping supplier is a supply chain where the manufacturing company or the supplier is within the buyer’s country. Domestic suppliers have several advantages. They offer faster shipping and are more available when it comes to support. However, they have limited production and higher price tags. 

On the other hand, with overseas suppliers, goods are sourced across geopolitical borders. Overseas suppliers serve a vast market, so production is high, translating to lower prices. On the downside, shipping may take longer.

In the long run, it is best to have both local and international suppliers to diversify your product portfolio.

Fake Dropshipping Suppliers – The Red Flags

There are hundreds of dropshipping shoe suppliers. Some are genuine, while others are operated by scammers who are out there to swindle you and your customers.

In this segment, we have shared some tips to help you avoid fake dropshipping suppliers.

The above are some red flags that you are dealing with a fake dropshipping supplier. To be on the safe side, make a test order just to make sure you are not being scammed. This will give you confidence in the future.

Tips for Dropshipping Shoes Successfully

Now that you have launched your dropshipping business, the next question is how to ensure the business is booming. Below are some of the helpful tips no one is talking about.

1. Focus on Ads

There are so many marketing channels out there, but Ads work best when it comes to fashion. But which platforms should you focus on? Well, Facebook and TikTok have proven to be the best when it comes to ROI.

Facebook Ads

Facebook has over 2.9 billion active monthly users, so running Ads here should be your priority. Facebook Ads are highly customizable, and you can choose the format of ads and where the ads should reflect, be it on Instagram, Messenger, or your audience network. You can also manage ads and gauge results on one platform.

TikTok Ads

TikTok is another top platform where you should pump part of your ads budget. The platform boasts over 1 billion active monthly users and offers just as high ROI as Facebook. 
Facebook and TikTok will work best for you, but you can also consider other platforms. And remember, 98% of visitors won’t buy for the first time, so retargeting ads should be a priority.

2. Automate Your Business

Let’s face it, running a drop shipping business can be tedious now that there are a myriad of operations, from product searches, creating listings, product repricing, inventory management, marketing, order placement, and so on. These demanding tasks can affect your stress levels and impact efficiency.

Many dropshippers fail because they get overwhelmed with all these operations. But luckily, there are plenty of dropshipping automation solutions that can help you simplify operations and enhance efficiency. 

A good example is EasyNC, which has been engineered to automate all mundane tasks so you can focus on what’s important. With automation, you can literally put your business on autopilot. Here is how the software works.

3. Focus on What’s Trending

To succeed in dropshipping, you need to sell trendy products, in this case, footwear. But what’s trending today, might not be what will trend tomorrow. 

So, how do you find trending footwear?

Well, there are several ways to find trending shoes. Below are the most efficient methods.

Other platforms you can leverage to find trending shoes include Amazon Suggest, Reddit Threads, Pinterest Suggest, Facebook Ad Library, and the ‘most popular’ section of top eCommerce sites.

4. Create Proper Listings

Another essential tip to help you scale your shoe dropshipping business is creating proper listings. Many businesses fail because they focus on pricing and margins and forget to create proper listings.

Optimized Product Descriptions

For you to succeed, you need to have proper SEO-optimized product descriptions that compel the buyer to make a purchase. Importantly, they should have a value proposition and align to your brand voice.

Visuals are Vital

One vital aspect of a proper listing is visuals. With fashion goods, buyers are more concerned with the fine details of the products. That said, you need to have high-definition images that allow customers to scan the nitty gritty details of the shoes. It is advisable to use multiple images from different angles. For the best results, consider videos too.

Detailed Size Table is a Must-Have

You should also have an accurate size table to help consumers find the right fit. Have a size chart with all the international shoe size conversions if you are going global. Below is an example of a size chart for women if you are selling internationally.

5. Include Customer Reviews, Ratings, and Testimonials

Adding customer reviews, ratings, and testimonials can be a game-changer for your dropshipping business as they help you build trust. Testimonials such as quote testimonials, social testimonials, and influencer testimonials will also go a long way in ensuring the success of your business.

6. Customer Support and Fulfillment

Your customer support is just as important as the supplies’ customer support. It directly impacts brand loyalty as 81% of consumers say positive customer service experience influences their chances of making another purchase. Invest in multichannel support, with 24/7 live chat as a priority, alongside other channels such as telephone, email, and social media. Let no message or inquiry fall through the cracks – it could be an order you are losing.

You should also ensure delivery turnaround is as short as possible, as 84% of buyers are concerned about orders not arriving on schedule. Besides delivery time, consider free shipping as it increases order volume and reduces cart abandonment.

We’ve compiled a list of the most popular dropshipping kitchen products in this article. When starting a dropshipping business, one can be lost in thought about what niche to choose and which products will sell the best. A new dropshipper will have a difficult choice: sell time-tested but ordinary goods or choose something unusual but popular at the moment. Kitchen products are always in demand.

So why wouldn’t you sell them in your dropshipping store?

• buy cheap products;
• sell them at a higher price;
• put the difference in your pocket.

How to choose cheap products, where to buy and resell them, how not to stay in the red – these are the questions we’ll discuss in this article.

To be successful in retail, you need three things: a desire for success, good promotion, and in-demand products for sale. Check the trends and find out what products to sell in 2021-2022 to make good money. It’s not easy to find such products, but we did some research in this article and found the top 10 cheap wholesale products for resale! They will do for a startup or an existing online store. What product do customers find perfect? It has unique properties, has no limited shelf life, does not require special storage and transportation conditions, and is affordable for the average buyer.

Before choosing cheap wholesale products for resale, ask yourself a few questions:

• Does this product solve a specific problem of people?
• How much competition is there?
• How quickly can I make a profit?
• What is the maximum possible cheat on this product?

How to find cheap wholesale products?

How to find cheap wholesale products?

Here are three main properties that make a product sellable.

• Emotion. The product being sold should evoke emotions in the consumer because they influence the purchase decision. The consumer must fall in love with the product at first sight and be willing to buy it right away. Such products are called “viral.”
• Benefit. The product should solve a specific problem of the person. Nobody likes useless things, even if they are beautiful. So we recommend choosing useful products that effectively solve specific problems. If the product makes life easier, word of mouth will work, quickly going viral.
• Promotion. It’s good if the product has already been promoted on social networks and the person is just looking where to buy it. So there is no need to explain the advantages of the product. Trending products are always sold out the fastest.

According to statistics, the most popular are cheap wholesale products, which the customer can buy without hitting the family budget. The most demanded are cheap products made in China, which cost mere pennies compared to European brands. A profitable wholesale item to sell from home is everything a person uses daily. Consumers usually avoid high-priced goods and prefer affordable analogs. In retail, budget goods that a person can buy even in a crisis show themselves well.

A modern man buys a lot of goods from all over the world – most of them have come a long way and have significantly added value in the process of their resale.

Keep in mind that resale is a delicate matter: in order not to be in the red, you need to clearly understand the difference between the purchase price and the sale price and the quantity and speed of sales of this category of goods. Therefore, it makes sense to resell items with a high margin, low overhead, and fast turnover.

Suppose you want to make money on resale. In that case, you need to understand all the intricacies of the market, know about your competitors, find out what price is acceptable before starting this business and study and analyze all these indicators carefully.

The easiest way is buying items in bulk through marketplaces. You buy a specific product and then resell it in your store. For example, you can sell FBA products. The most popular wholesale distributors are Amazon and AliExpress. For example, you can buy cheap goods for children or phone accessories on AliExpress and then sell them twice. For some categories of goods, the mark-up can be 100-500%.

Here are the most popular AliExpress products for resale that we found in the Bestsellers section:

• tempered glass screen protector for iPhone;
• sling backpack for carrying babies 4 in 1;
• super strong fishing line;
• T-shirts and bodysuits for babies;
• stylish shirt for men with long sleeves in casual style;
• superman t-shirt for men;
• hip-hop baseball cap;
• a transparent case for iPhone in the form of a glass of wine;
• sunglasses in retro punk style.

It is essential to know whether there is a demand for this product and what price people are willing to pay. To do this, you need to test the demand by placing an ad before purchasing the product. A more complicated way for advanced people in business is to resell on the website or online stores.

Selling through sites is suitable for those who want to build a serious business on the resale of goods and not just sell something one-time.

In the twenty-first century, buying items in bulk for resale is easier and more profitable for any seller.

Where to find cheap wholesale products?

• Clothing. Most people buy clothes online so that this category can be resold.
• Covers and other accessories for mobile phones, tablets, and other gadgets. As a rule, such things are not cheap in ordinary stores, but on AliExpress or in China, they can be bought for a penny. Here we can also include adapters, cords, etc.

And finally, here is our list of Top 10 cheap wholesale products for resale:

• Fitness trackers are intelligent devices that monitor user activity: steps taken, calories burned, heart rate. They are very popular with amateurs and professional athletes. According to a Google Trends report, fitness trackers peaked in popularity in 2017 but are still high. Global revenues from sports accessories are expected to increase to $ 3.33 million in 2022. And this is clear evidence that sales of fitness trackers will bring big profits soon.
• Smartwatches are becoming an integral part of the life of a modern person. They track physical activity, allow you to answer calls and read messages. They have a built-in GPS sensor. Smartwatch sales are increasing by 20% every year. According to experts’ forecasts, by 2022, gadget sales will amount to $ 29 billion worldwide. So smartwatches are not going anywhere. If you are in the retail trade of cheap electronic devices, it is time to think about expanding your assortment. We highly recommend adding a smartwatch to your store.
• Teeth whitening kits are an affordable alternative to expensive professional dental care. Everyone has teeth and wants to have a snow-white smile without overpayments. Therefore, teeth whitening kits have confidently occupied a leading position in the list of best-selling products over the past five years. The teeth whitening market is projected to expand to $ 7.4 billion in 2022.
• Wireless headphones confidently replace wired counterparts because no one else wants to adapt to the ever-confusing and freedom-limiting wires. Go for wireless Bluetooth devices if you’re thinking about what products to sell in 2022. The wireless market is expected to grow to $ 25 billion by 2025.
• Reusable water bottles are now more often found in people’s hands. In 2018 the global market for reusable water bottles was estimated at $ 8.1 billion, while the annual growth is expected to reach 3.9% by 2025. Consider selling reusable water bottles if you are in the health and fitness trade.
• Household goods. Doormats, curtains, rugs for the bathroom, and household items – from self-adhesive hooks to storage baskets. Original kitchen accessories are also sold well – silicone potholders, graters with containers, vegetable peelers. Such little things cost a penny, but they attract functionality and striking design. Most importantly, they make your culinary life more effortless.
• Car accessories. Phone holders, cables to connect your smartphone to the audio system, heated cases, snow accessories.
• Nail Polish reappeared on Google Trends. In March 2020, the number of requests per month was 246,000. The global nail polish market is expected to grow to $ 15.6 billion by 2024. At the same time, the average annual growth will be 9.5%. Lamps for drying gel polishes, flower beds, building gels, and consumables – these items bring a good income.
• Face masks are at the top of Google Trends. The search phrase “charcoal face mask” has more than 40,000 searches per month, and “face mask” – 80,000. Today, fabric, charcoal, black, anti-aging, nourishing, and purifying masks are mega-popular. Korean face masks are also hitting sales records. Homemade beauty products are a great alternative to the spa. For people on a budget – this is just a godsend!

The beauty trade brings more when combined with Instagram promotion. Create your page, showcase products, do reviews, run sweepstakes. This way you can attract more attention to the outlet and increase the flow of customers.

• Iqos and e-cigarettes are steadily replacing traditional tobacco products. More and more people want to quit smoking and not breathe tobacco smoke. Iqos means clean air in an apartment, odorless hands, and no ash. The trade-in of electronic smoking devices will increase substantially by 2023, and sales are expected to reach about $ 48 billion.

In the end, we want to give you some helpful tips on how to find cheap wholesale products to sell from home.

If you want to resale, there are a few essential rules to follow.

• Test a demand. Before buying a product, place an ad, pay for an inexpensive advertisement, and see how many people are interested in your offer.
• Calculate your margin. It is crucial to understand how much you will earn from selling one unit of the product. Don’t forget to factor in shipping and other costs.
• Consider force majeure. The goods may be delayed in transit, or there may be problems at customs – you should be prepared to deal with such problems.
• Thatch the roof before the rain begins. You must always be one step ahead. For example, it is better to buy school backpacks not in August, when their prices skyrocket, but in March. Likewise, it makes sense to order swimwear in winter and fur coats in summer.
• Analyze your competitors. You won’t be the only seller in the market, so it’s important to know what others are offering and at what price. Remember that the buyer almost always chooses the cheapest offer – if you cannot sell for less than others, you will have to work hard to explain the price difference.
• Love your customers – and they will reciprocate you. Run promotions, give small gifts, and always follow through on your commitments.
• Advertise your product. Test different advertising methods and choose the most effective one.

Resale goods and services can be lucrative if you get down to business wisely, carefully analyze the market, and choose the right niche. Good luck!

Back in the day, both affiliate marketing vs dropshipping were somewhat niche. Now even your nerdy neighbor seems to have given a try to at least one of them.

Many people flooding the field has never been a good sign, especially if it has anything to do with e-commerce. This either spawns too many amateurs ruining the industry or, on the other hand, makes the competition hotter and stiffer, forcing one to adjust to the things they are not very pleased with.

Luckily, neither affiliate marketing nor dropshipping faces the decline for the time being. In fact, some could even claim the two spheres are on the rise. Now let’s get straight to the point and figure out if any of the two is worth a shot and how they compare with one another.

Dropshipping: Pros & Cons

In the 2022s, the dropshipping business is no longer a game for amateurs. The industry has grown into a large market that is estimated to be worth approximately $600 bn by 2025. These numbers signal that there are much more professionals now in the business than a few years ago. And with the rise of Shopify, which has made the dropshipping business mainstream, it’s going to be even more popular in years to come.

It goes without saying, though, that since the industry is much trickier and more professional now, you cannot just walk in without any knowledge and rely on nothing but hit-or-miss tactics and luck. To start a dropshipping business, you need to have a solid plan about:

• who your customers are;
• what they like;
• what you’re going to sell;
• who’s going to be your supplier and why;
• where you’re going to sell (as consumers from different countries may differ significantly in their needs).

To set off an in-demand dropshipping business, you need to take all that into account and think of what you can do to make people want to buy your products. At this point, you may fundamentally walk two ways:

1) come up with something exclusively fresh, entertaining, and innovative;
2) sell just the ordinary stuff lots of other stores do yet somehow better.

The first way is quite slimy, as you literally must understand the consumer’s motifs inside out. Remember all that hype around spinners all over the globe in the 2010s? Or Pop It? Who in the world would have thought those could end up being such hits? If anybody had come up to a professional dropshipper suggesting a few years ago to sell something of the kind, they would’ve merely laughed at you.

It’s utterly complex to predict what people will be obsessed with the very next season. Sometimes you offer them exceptionally well-designed products with friendly pricing, but instead, they just go past to grab a piece of what seems to be complete garbage for thousands of dollars.

Unless you have a team that can do research 24/7 in consumer behavior, you probably will wind up trying to sell the stuff just everybody does, such as clothes or consumer electronics. And here comes the issue:

Why should people choose you over other stores or even a dropshipper working solo? What makes your goods or services better?

In the 2022s, one cannot just, for instance, post pictures of T-shirts on Instagram and count money. Apart from having to find specific T-shirts that would make you stand out from other T-shirt sellers, you also need to work a lot on the services you’re going to provide.

Let’s imagine you’ve decided on selling T-shirts with memes. That’s probably not a bad idea. Now ask yourself: who is your target audience? Very likely teenagers and young adults — 15-30-year-old zoomers and millennials surfing the Internet. Given that this information is indeed valid, you’ll probably at the very least want to do the following things:

• create and manage TikTok and Instagram accounts (as this age group spends a lot of their online time on these platforms);
• constantly produce exhilarating content, playing around new trends;
• always be on the lookout for new memes and upgrade the design of your T-shirts;
• provide customer support service directly on those platforms or on trendy messengers, such as Signal or Telegram (again, this group age does not enjoy talking on the phone).

This list, of course, goes on way further and depends on lots of different variables. Not to mention, you also have to decide on what quality and tone of voice your business is to adopt. Is it going to be cheap and affordable yet at the expense of quality or pricey yet outstandingly fashionable and high quality? And in both cases, you will be very much dependent on your supplier, so you’d better find one you 100% trust.

As you can see, dropshipping doesn’t simply mean getting the product from the supplier to the consumer. A good dropshipper does many things at the same time, and the requirements are versatile and high — one has to be able to:

• analyze the market;
• understand consumer behavior;
• communicate both with the supplier and customers (and both require different communication strategies);
• create good content;
• advertise products;
• and many other, by the way, risk-taking things.

In spite of the fact that some may find it complicated, dropshipping does pay off a lot, having tons of advantages over many other businesses:

• no need to have a big budget;
• pretty low risks (all you have to do is pay for a product as soon as you receive an order);
• you’re the one who’s setting prices, leading to you controlling your entire income;
• despite being a bit too dependent on your suppliers, you can actually make up your own brand and even hire them up as part of your team in the future.

Fueled with enough ambition, you’ll find only a couple of real disadvantages, though:

• need to organize customer support services;
• initially no control over the quality of the stuff you’re going to be selling;
• need to compete with a lot of people that use cutting-edge technologies, including automation.

Yet, the first two are entirely up to your competence. If you at least know what decent customer support is and are good at communicating with people, it shouldn’t be a problem. As for automating your business — there’s a solution as well: easync will handle that for you.

Affiliate Marketing: Pros & Cons

Regardless of all the hardships a dropshipper may face, running an affiliate marketing business is not much easier. Although the skillset might not be as diverse, it does involve more specialized knowledge of search engine marketing, email marketing, content marketing, SEO, and advertising.

When doing affiliate marketing, you most of the time recommend products and/or services from other businesses (not yours) to either your audience or partner platforms where you can set up your ads. The undeniable pros compared to dropshipping is that:

• it’s easier to get started;
• no need to provide any customer support services;
• less responsibility.

And… that’s it. Seriously — affiliate marketing comes with many disadvantages. You may end up working with payers having extremely low commissions. You’ll also have very little to no control over the pricing. On top of that, if it’s your own website, you’re always technically sending your audience away to someone else, which potentially might cut down on your traffic. Not that it’s worse than dropshipping, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s easier to do but has more potential risks and is slightly less profitable.

Not that affiliate marketing is worse than dropshipping, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s easier to do but has more potential risks and is slightly less profitable.

Affiliate Marketing vs. Dropshipping

There’s a huge difference between dropshipping vs affiliate marketing despite the two slightly resembling each other in involving you as a middleman between the partner/supplier and the end customer. Although it varies from one team to another, the dropshipper in many ways reminds of the entrepreneur, whereas affiliate marketing more stands for you advertising things that are not necessarily yours.

In other words, a dropshipper is often not just a freelancer but rather a businessman running a company.

So, when it comes to the comparison between dropshipping and affiliate marketing, it all boils down to a couple of things:

• With affiliate marketing, you have a bit less responsibility, which might make the process slightly more relaxing and laid-back. However, you won’t be able to set prices yourself, so it’ll be harder for you to make a really big profit.
• When doing affiliate marketing, there’s no need to bother about customer support, since everything will be all handled by the merchant. Neither should you worry about many other things, such as the quality of products and logistics — it’s all the merchant’s responsibility.
• When dropshipping, you are basically slowly, very much relying on third-party supplies, yet building up your own brand. This means that eventually you may have your own online shop with regular customers. With affiliate marketing, you often help other businesses to grow.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to your own aptitude, skillset, motivation, and interests. If you’re up for something like running your own business, dropshipping will sure be a better pick. If you want less responsibility and less stressful work — affiliate marketing, perhaps, just suits you more. Or…

Dropshipping + Affiliate Marketing

Have you ever thought of combining dropshipping and affiliate marketing? Not only does such a strategy expedite your dropshipping business, but it also potentially gives you more insights into how other people run their companies, as you’ll certainly have to cooperate with more people when doing affiliate marketing.

You can both promote your dropshipping store and companies that do not interfere with your interests. This will help you learn a lot about different approaches and draw up a long list of useful contacts across the industries. And once you grow big enough to seriously scale, with tools such as easync, you can automate your businesses, turning it all into a stable, big source of passive income.

Hey guys! The topic of today’s article is how to import products from Amazon to Shopify. Let’s start our discussion with dropshipping to Shopify. We have touched on this issue before. Therefore, we recall the main points related to working with Shopify. The main advantages of Shopify are ease of setup and use and independence from significant marketplaces (such as eBay). Shopify is perfect for beginners who do not want to invest a lot of money in starting a business. There are many additional applications for Shopify, such as searching for a product (Oberlo) or arranging the delivery of goods from suppliers in the United States of America and Europe (Spocket), and many others.

Below we will tell you the basic steps to open your Shopify store

1. In the first place of importance, we placed the connection of the payment system. After all, receiving payment for goods is the primary goal of the trading business. So, you need to register a business account with PayPal or Stripe. These are the two most popular payment systems in the world. The good news is that European and American buyers have no such thing as cash on delivery (pay on delivery). So you get money immediately after purchase in your Shopify store.

2. Next, we advise you to decide what you want to sell. Will it be some separate niche or vice versa, a complete variety of goods and prices? If you are a beginner, it is better to choose a different niche and add products with a low cost (no higher than $25). Firstly, it will protect against losses in case of problems with the goods or buyers. Secondly, low prices have always attracted more buyers.

The most popular niches today:

• beauty and personal care
• children’s products
• fitness goods
• household products
• hobbies and needlework
• electronics
• Coffee and other drinks

It is just a small list of popular product categories. Choose what is closer to you and add listings to the Shopify store. You can open several Shopify stores with different types of goods and then choose one and develop in this direction.

3. Registration directly at the Shopify store. It’s easy to do. Many videos on the net explain this in detail. Shopify has several design options, free (Debut) and paid versions. You don’t have to use paid designs or apps to become a successful dropshipper on Shopify. Many successful Shopify stores have spun on the free versions of the site. In addition, Shopify gives you a 14-day free trial period to fully get used to and join the process.

4. Choose a marketplace to select listings. The most popular dropshipping markets today are Aliexpress and Amazon. These giants have long and confidently taken a leading position among dropshippers worldwide. Naturally, each has its pros and cons. For example, Aliexpress is attractive for its price, but many are unsatisfied with too long delivery. Amazon is more progressive in this regard. Try to choose products with free shipping. Many dropshippers choose Amazon as a source market and as a target market. Amazon FBA is also a good choice for those new to the eCommerce business. But we will talk about this a little later.

5. After selecting the products, add them to your Shopify store. Set a markup of at least 40%. It will cover the costs of the business and bring you profit. Choose listings only with high-quality images and a good full description. We recommend supplementing the product description or rewriting it specifically for your store. Also, work on “branding” your store. Write the history of appearance and information about the creators. Customers are interested in stores with an account in which the soul is invested. One-day stores are usually bypassed. Find information about successful Shopify stores. Take an example from them.

There is another exciting idea from Shopify. You can synchronize product reviews from the source market using a unique application.

6. We all know how important advertising is for any business, especially trade. Allocate a budget and run ads on FB, Instagram or Google. It will attract a good stream of new buyers.

7. If you are using unique dropshipping apps (such as Easync), buying a product does not concern you. Our Auto order will do everything for you. And you can do more important things at this time. But if you decide to do without automation, then immediately after placing an order in your Shopify store, go to your source market and place a purchase at your buyer’s address. If you are at the beginning of the journey, the sales volume is not too big. You will manage on your own afterwards. But your Shopify store will gain momentum over time, and it’s better to automate this process. Easync is always here to help you!

Amazon for your dropshipping business

Why do people buy goods from your store if they can buy them two times cheaper on amazon or Aliexpress? Many buyers are emotionally triggered. Agree, it is much more pleasant to visit a specialized store with a unique design and a friendly seller than to go to an ordinary supermarket, where there are many people and so many goods that you can get lost. 80% of online shoppers think the same way. And it does not matter that they buy the same goods in different places. The atmosphere matters. So secure it!

Over time, your Shopify store will start to bring in more profits. And you decide how to manage it. You can invest in advertising or expand the range of your store. Perhaps you will choose to master other dropshipping platforms. For example, start selling on Amazon. The company had over 350 million active users in 2021. Trading volumes are growing especially fast after the 2020 pandemic when most buyers moved online. You can do Amazon dropshipping business, but there are several important conditions.

• You must be an official seller of goods;
• Your details must appear on all papers related to the product (such as packing stickers, invoices, etc.) Therefore, any information about a third-party seller must be eliminated before the goods are shipped;
• As with other markets, you are responsible for the return of the goods;
• You must comply with all terms of the agreement and Amazon policies.

Amazon takes 10 to 15% of your profits. So make a good margin (40-50%) on goods so as not to be at a loss.

The main advantage of dropshipping to Amazon is the ease of use of the site and access to a vast already accumulated audio. You do not need to spend money on advertising and promoting your dropshipping store.

Among the disadvantages of dropshipping to Amazon, we will highlight the following:

• Amazon has access to your sales data. Thus, they use your data for their statistics. But the most unpleasant bonus from Amazon is that, as a result of the collected statistics, they calculate the most popular product niches and begin to crowd out sellers, actively participating in the sales of relevant products.
• If your Amazon account does not have a Business status, then it will be pretty tricky for you to stay on Amazon for a long time. Amazon is interested in cooperation with big businesses, cutting down opportunities for expansion to ordinary sellers.
• Unlike Shopify, you will not be able to pick up a unique design or make special features for your Amazon dropshipping store. Everything will be only within this marketplace.

As you can see, there are some nuances. You can choose the site that is more convenient for you.

Follow the instructions if you want to connect your Amazon seller account to your Shopify store.

Your Amazon and Shopify accounts must be active. You can connect them using MWS keys.

Below we have prepared a step-by-step guide on connecting Amazon and Shopify accounts to integrate with Amazon Shopify.

• Log into your Amazon Seller Central account through your Shopify account. Complete the Shopify FBA Integration.
• Read the terms. If you agree, check the box and click Next. On the Amazon MWS message, select Continue.
• Go back to your Shopify store and set your shipping options to match your Amazon settings. You can do this in the section “Delivery”
• “Manage tariffs.”
• Choose the number of days for delivery and add the cost of the commission that Amazon takes. Save your changes.
• Then you need to add all the products from your Amazon account to Shopify. It can be done manually or using the applications described above.
• After adding the products, make sure all parameters and pictures match. If there are discrepancies, edit the listings’ descriptions to make them identical.
• Save your changes. Then you can start fulfilling orders.

For this

• Go to the “Orders” section in your Shopify store
• Select the order number
• In the Order Details section, click Start Fulfillment. You will be redirected to the order fulfillment page.
• Based on the delivery speed chosen by the client, select (standard, expedited, priority) type of delivery.
• Click on the complete button
• After that, the order status will be displayed in the Orders section. On Amazon, the status will change from Pending to Completed.

Ready. As you can see, the process takes quite a bit of time.

In our article we will talk about dropshipping with Aliexpress and possible alternatives to this trading giant.

We all know that dropshipping is the easiest and cheapest way to start an ecommerce business. You get a profitable business without huge investments and worries about storage and delivery. In the initial stages, the most important thing is finding a reliable goods supplier. And, of course, extensive and proven platforms immediately come to mind – Amazon or Aliexpress.

Let’s look at the main points related to dropshipping with Aliexpress. Today it is the largest marketplace globally, with over 100 million listings. Just imagine what a massive number of visitors daily make purchases on Aliexpress. It is not even just a large online store. Aliexpress can be called the most significant market on the planet. And indeed it is. Here you will find absolutely any goods from cosmetics to car parts. Aliexpress’s target audience is expanding every day. Its reputation is growing because it has established itself as a reliable and convenient online store for sellers and buyers. Why do people choose Aliexpress instead of going to a traditional store? All the goods on the shelves in stores are goods from China for the most part. Therefore, why overpay if you can buy almost at cost from manufacturers.

Aliexpress is part of the Alibaba media group. Accordingly, Alibaba is the main alternative to Aliexpress. But we will talk about this a little later.

Many Aliexpress sellers are well aware that some of their buyers are dropshippers. And they go towards them. So we can confidently say that Aliexpress is a great cooperation option for dropshippers. Many of them take high-quality photos of their products and detailed descriptions, so it will be pretty easy for you to populate your dropshipping store.

Niche and product selection

Perhaps every novice dropshipper wondered: what is better to sell, products of one niche or the most diverse? Let’s try to figure it out.

Here you can draw an analogy with a trip to the store. For example, you go to a huge supermarket or visit a well-known specialty store with certain types of goods.

Agree, the price in an ordinary supermarket will be lower, but the quality of the goods will not be high. By default, they are guided by the quality of specific interests in a specialized store, although prices can be overpriced. Supermarkets aim primarily to make a profit from the maximum number of customers. Niche stores, on the contrary, are focused on every customer and are ready to offer quality products. Thus, niche stores bring in more profit, although, at first glance, this does not seem to be the case.

Thus, we advise you to sell niche products in your dropshipping store. And of course, first of all, you need to decide which niche products suit you best. We recommend that you choose the products that you like and understand. This way, you can provide good support to your customers. And communication with buyers is crucial for the ranking of your store.

Regarding Aliexpress, you already understood that the amount of goods there is simply incredible, and you can quickly get confused or run into an unscrupulous seller. Therefore, we will give you some tips on choosing a good supplier for your online store.

A common question among beginner dropshippers confuses them: why do people buy goods in the online store at a premium when they can order directly on Aliexpress or Amazon?

People are willing to pay for the quality of the product itself and the quality of service and communication with them. You need to consider the business model of your dropshipping store carefully. Do not save on advertising. Create communities in social networks and offer customers promotions and discounts more often. Be active, and it will play an important role.

Tips for finding quality dropshipping products on Aliexpress

Based on our experience and our customers’ experience, we want to give you some tips for finding quality dropshipping products on Aliexpress.

• Try to avoid brands and their fakes. Most likely, you are not the official representative of any brand. Otherwise, you would hardly be reading this article. China is famous for its passion for counterfeiting favorite brands. Unfortunately, most of them are by no means of high quality. If you don’t want problems with eBay (VERO) and your customers getting a poor-quality product, we strongly recommend that you stop adding branded listings to your dropshipping store. In the end, Ali has a vast number of ordinary products worthy of your attention.
• Choose products with free shipping. Working track numbers are also significant, which will be tracked in China and abroad. If free shipping is included in the product’s price, they prefer them. People need to control the delivery process, so give peace of mind to your customers.
• One of the important indicators is the number of orders for the product. On Aliexpress, there is a filter for “more than 300 orders”. Use it when choosing products for your store. After all, if a product is popular, it is in demand. And besides, if more than 300 people bought a product from this seller, it means that it is reliable and you can safely cooperate with it.
• High seller rating. You understand the importance of this indicator. It directly shows the reliability of the seller.
• The price should not exceed $20-25. This price range includes goods you can make at a good margin (40-60%). And at the same time, if there are any problems with the order, you do not risk losing a lot of money. Please take into account the various costs of your store so that the markup covers them and brings you a net profit.
• Pay attention to the images. The seller must make them directly and not take them from the Internet.
• Chat with the seller. So you will understand how realistic it is to establish trade relations with him. If the seller willingly and quickly responds to your messages, feel free to add his products to your dropshipping store. Long ignoring or silence on the seller’s part indicates its unreliability.
• Do not copy the description from the site. Make your description for your listings to make it unique. It is essential because Google often does not skip entirely copied text, so your store may end up at the very bottom of the search.
• Be honest with your delivery time. We all know that shipping from China takes at least two weeks. So don’t sugarcoat the speed of the delivery service. Honestly and openly write the time for the goods to arrive at the buyer. It will not ruin your reputation and allow your customers to make the right choice.
• Aliexpress doesn’t provide the option of returning goods. If the buyer is dissatisfied with the goods, he opens the case, and Aliexpress may refund him. Therefore, to avoid losing money, you will have to learn how to communicate with dissatisfied customers who want to refuse the goods. If the buyer insists on a refund, then you have to open a dispute on Aliexpress and, in the same way, claim a refund for a low-quality product. On the one hand, this will allow you not to lose money, but on the other hand, you risk ruining your relationship with the seller if you work closely with him. So you need to take into account the specifics of each situation. If the buyer insists that the item is damaged, please ask for a photo of the article to send to the Aliexpress seller. You likely came across an unscrupulous seller, and the product is really of inadequate quality. In this case, open a dispute on Aliexpress, return the money to your buyer and stop cooperation with the dishonest supplier.

By following our tips, you will succeed in dropshipping with Aliexpress.

Do not also forget that having found decent suppliers of quality goods, you should establish and consolidate cooperation with them. You can chat with the seller, explain that you are a dropshipper, and he may meet you and even give discounts. Communication skills and goodwill are the critical qualities needed to communicate with your customers and suppliers.

Pros and Cons of dropshipping with Aliexpress

Let’s summarize the above. The main pros and cons of dropshipping with Aliexpress are as follows:

Pros:

– The lowest price. It is natural because you buy goods in the country of origin. China pampers us with the most affordable prices for their products.

– The most extensive selection of goods. As we said earlier, Aliexpress is the largest online store globally at the moment.

– Possibility of free international shipping. It will save you money quite noticeably because the shipping costs are sometimes rather enormous. Moreover, even if most sellers have paid delivery for the same product, it is still possible to find the same product but with free delivery from another seller.

-Buyer protection. Since you are a buyer on Aliexpress, he is ready to put your interests first. If you encounter the slightest difficulty with an order, you open a dispute with a greater degree of probability that you will win it by receiving the money back.

Cons:

– Shipping is free but incredibly long. It takes from 2 weeks to several months. Not every customer is willing to wait that long.

– Impossibility to return the goods. Aliexpress will not provide you with a return label as Amazon does. Thus, you will have to settle misunderstandings with buyers or return their money without requiring a return of the goods.

Top 10 Aliexpress Alternatives For Dropshipping

So, we have discussed the general plan of action for successful dropshipping with Aliexpress. But there are other Chinese alternatives for dropshipping. Let’s review our Top 10 Aliexpress Alternatives For Dropshipping.

1. Alibaba

As we wrote earlier, this is the basis of the Alibaba group, which includes many Chinese online stores. It is perhaps the most famous Chinese online store, on a par with Aliexpress. They are mainly intended for bulk purchases. Alibaba is wrong because the buyer protection mechanism works very poorly there. As soon as a disputable situation arises, the buyer is quickly convinced that this protection exists only formally. In reality, it is almost impossible to achieve your goal there.

2. Taobao

It is a popular Chinese online store similar in essence and content to Aliexpress. The slight problem is that it only works for the Chinese inner market. Therefore, for purchases from Taobao, you will have to use intermediaries. The most challenging thing that a beginner dropshipper faces, in our opinion, is the search for a product. However, you can subscribe to social networks and follow Chinese trends to add only the most popular products to your store.

3. 1688

Unlike Alibaba, the deal for 1688 is not formally protected, and the ratings are not for sale. Suppose there is an icon with a bull head on the seller page. In that case, this is the highest rating for 1688, which means that he has an office, a store, a warehouse or his production, the status of a legal entity is documented, he has been on the site for a long time, and he has not received it for a long time. Prices for 1688 are lower than on Alibaba because the site is designed for the Chinese market.

When buying at 1688, money does not go directly to the seller but is frozen by the site. He will be able to receive them only when the goods reach the buyer, and he does not open a dispute in due time.

4. TMall

TMall is an online store from AliExpress for Russian buyers. It differs from its older brother because it does not need to check sellers for the reliability and quality of things: all goods here are original and with quality certificates. So if you work in the Russian market, TMall is your option. TMall promises to deliver the goods by courier to the door in 2-7 days. And sometimes, it happens even faster.

5. Banggood

The Banggood store is one of China’s largest and most visited online marketplaces. Bangud is far from new to the distance selling market: the store’s history dates back to 2004. But at the same time, a large number of online purchases are made on Aliexpress. The choice of goods here is not just broad – it is vast. Almost everything is made in China here. Banggood is a kind of Aliexpress in miniature. At the same time, the prices here for many goods are among the lowest on the Internet.

6.GearBest

GearBest is the leader in selling innovative electronics, gadgets and technology, but it is difficult to choose clothes here due to the small assortment. On AliExpress, you will find many more products: from underwear to intelligent technology. The variety of the store is mainly aimed at electronic goods. Various gadgets from memory cards to cool laptops. On Gearbest.com, you can find absolutely everything related to new technologies in the electronic world:

• Smartwatch
• Quadcopters
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Laptops
• And many more exciting things.

Therefore, if you have chosen an electronics niche for your dropshipping store, you can partner with GearBest.

7. TomTop

It is a Chinese online store with free worldwide shipping. It has been working since June 2004. In 2006, he received the title of “Gold Supplier” from the Chinese trading platform Alibaba. The store’s assortment includes cell phones, tablets, clothes, shoes, and other gadgets at an acceptable price. The store also has several warehouses in the UK, Germany and the US, not counting China. The store, in addition, has a drop shipping function, with which you can sell products and ship them directly from the store without a single mention of it. And an affiliate program, with which you can receive 8-10% of the purchases that you attracted buyers.

8. LightInTheBox

LightInTheBox.com is an online fashion store for young and modern people from all over the world. In addition to clothing, the site offers stylish shoes, accessories, household goods, sportswear, watches, various gadgets, and much more. There are more than 1,000,000 products in total, while the store is constantly expanding its range, adding about a thousand new products daily.

LightInTheBox works directly with product manufacturers to eliminate intermediaries and provide low prices to its customers. Delivery of orders is carried out to any country globally, while it is possible to order express delivery of goods in 3-5 days.

Technical support speaks 27 languages and works around the clock. It is possible to return goods free of charge within a month after purchase. The shipping cost depends on the weight of the ordered goods.

9. DealExtreme 

Initially opened as an online store of consumer electronics and accessories, it has significantly expanded its range in recent years massive selection of goods, from small things for interior and pet products to complex electronic devices. The leading “horse” of the store is low prices and the fact that free international shipping applies to all products without exception.

10 Price Elf

Price Elf is an online store of goods for the whole family with worldwide delivery. Low prices, honorable conditions for the return of goods and money.

Advantages:

• Large range of goods
• Worldwide shipping
• Low prices
• Loyal conditions for the return of goods and money

Shopify is an online platform for creating an online store. It is trendy among dropshippers. The biggest plus is the ease of use. You can quickly start a dropshipping business even if you are a beginner. Another convenience is the ability to create a dropshipping store at minimal cost and in a short time. As you understand, Shopify is not just a marketplace where you register your store. It is your full-fledged online store.

Shopify is prevalent in over 170 countries. The total number of Shopify users exceeded 800,000 in 2021.

Shopify is convenient because most options are collected in one place and configured for work. When using Shopify, you do not need to buy a domain, create product pages, and process payments from buyers. Shopify does it for you. You have to manage your store using a convenient panel. You can track your activity or the activity of your customers. Analytics is a crucial aspect of doing business. You will be able to track your progress or see weaknesses.

Shopify features

In your Shopify store, you can choose from different themes and designs. There are free and paid versions. You don’t need to look for external hosting to host your store because Shopify has taken care of that. It is doubly convenient if you are new to e-commerce and do not understand many nuances. Shopify solves all technical problems for you. Thus, you do not need to spend time on complex settings or providing the technological base of your store. You can entirely focus on running your business.

In addition to the standard Shopify tools, you can use additional applications to expand your arsenal. Shopify developed some of them; others are third-party applications. For example, Shopify Chat (for live chat). It will help you communicate with your customers and increase your rankings. Any buyer appreciates communication with the seller when choosing a product or if any problems with the order appear. If you allow your customers to discuss issues quickly and efficiently, you gain a good reputation.

Another application is Best Currency Converter (to auto-convert currencies). This application can also make shopping easier for you and your customers.

And, of course, Oberlo. The application is for you and me – those who are engaged in dropshipping.

To appreciate all the advantages of using Shopify, you have a 14-day trial. It is enough time to get familiar with the interface and start your online dropshipping business.

After the free period expires, you can choose the plan that best suits you. You can find information about tariffs and prices on the Shopify website. But we can say one thing. The most popular plan for beginner dropshippers is Shopify Lite. It costs only $9 per month. With this plan, you can add listings to your store, communicate with buyers via messenger, accept credit card payments and make sales on Facebook. Not a bad set of options for $9, isn’t it?

So, let’s summarize. Let’s highlight the main advantages of working with Shopify:

• Availability of web hosting. Shopify provides you with ready-made web hosting;
• Simple and accessible interface even for a beginner. you can easily set up a store without having such experience before;
• Сustomized payment system;
• Shopify technical support is available 24/7. They solve any technical problems quickly.

Among the shortcomings of Shopify, we highlight the following:

• Paid rates. Yes, Shopify gives you two weeks to get acquainted with the service. but then you have to pay;
• Additional applications for boosting your store are also available only in a paid format;
• If your store is developing quickly and successfully, you will have to raise the plan and accordingly pay more. Because many of the necessary options are not available at cheaper rates.

Thus, we have the following conclusion. Shopify is perfect for beginners and entrepreneurs who want to expand their existing businesses.

Shopify has created a convenient system of plans. The more significant your store and the higher your income, the more expensive plan you will need. Expenses grow in proportion to pay, and Shopify provided for this.

Shopify vs eBay dropshipping

Let’s now talk about another popular dropshipping platform, namely eBay. We will also conduct a comparative analysis of both markets so that you can choose the most suitable option for you.

eBay is one of the most prominent players in the eCommerce market. eBay sales are enormous. People buy thousands of products every day. eBay’s feature is the ability to purchase goods at an auction. Statistics show that eBay currently has over 180 million users. The number of listings reaches 475 million.

eBay is a lovely place for dropshippers from all over the world. You can register your online store and conduct business on a ready-made platform. Unlike Shopify, there is no need to spend time on various settings or branding.

However, eBay also has various options for boosting your dropshipping store. You can customize your color scheme, choose a logo, and create a unique store description. Each listing presented in the list has its description page where you can add many quality images.

Each seller can set up the shipping policy he needs (delivery, return). Buyers leave reviews that affect the seller’s rating. Reviews are always publicly available in the seller’s profile. So that every buyer can get acquainted with them. It motivates sellers to conduct their business with integrity and communicate with buyers.

If we talk about prices and plans on eBay, then everything is simple. The more listings you upload, the more expensive plan you will have to choose. On eBay, you will find Starter, Basic, Premium, Anchor, and Enterprise plans. We will not talk about plans in detail. You can read more about them on the eBay website.

Let’s see the pros and cons of eBay compared to Shopify.

• As we wrote above, eBay has a vast number of users (more than 180 million). You don’t have to put as much effort into promoting your eBay store as you do into a Shopify store.
• If you need to make some settings to launch the Shopify store, you don’t need to do this on eBay. Just register a seller account and work.

eBay has a seller protection policy. In the event of a misunderstanding with the buyer, eBay may stand up for you. Shopify doesn’t, and you’re on your own.

• Since eBay is a trendy marketplace, the competition will be pretty high. With eBay, you have to keep a close eye on competitors’ price changes to stay in demand among buyers. Sometimes a general price drop on eBay can force you to operate at a loss. Still, otherwise, you will lose out to competitors. Anyway, it’s up to you. There is no such thing in Shopify. You have the right to set the prices that you consider necessary, focusing only on your target audience.
• The ease of use of eBay has advantages only at first glance. With Shopify, you have many more opportunities to highlight your store profitably by using tools or applications partners of Shopify.

Based on the comparative characteristics, it is possible to identify categories of online sellers for which eBay is best suited.

• Beginners looking for a part-time job, budding dropshippers
• More experienced drop shippers can also work with eBay, creating more stores and expanding their business
• Online sellers who have their online store want to sell leftover goods or defective goods at a reduced price, without prejudice to the main store. eBay has a very convenient system for selling used – like new goods. You can also sell these items in your dropshipping store.

As you can see, each site has its scale. It all depends on your goal. If you want to run a small or medium business, both eBay and Shopify will suit you. But if you are planning to grow your store to a large scale or create your unique brand, then choose Shopify. eBay won’t give you that option.

Our list of top 10 successful Shopify dropshipping stores

1. Tattly (https://tattly.com)

The history of this successful Shopify store began in 2011. Tina Roth Eisenberg’s daughter got herself a ridiculous tattoo. When Tina turned to her designer friend for help, the lousy tattoo became an excellent idea for the store.
