How To Start DropShipping With $0 From Scratch (DONT USE SHOPIFY / DONT PAY FOR ADS!)

what is up you guys my name is isabella i own two six figure ecommerce businesses and i'm going to be telling you guys exactly what these goobers are not telling you i have personal history with drop shipping i used to dropship that's how i started making money online originally when i was 17 years old and i have seen so many misconceptions about drop shipping not only on youtube but on tick tock and just basically everywhere that i go and i see other people teaching drop shipping for me it's just the complete opposite approach of what i would teach you if i were telling you to start drop shipping that is why i made this video specifically to let you guys know what i feel is the best approach to drop shipping and how you can start drop shipping with a great long-term business model drop shipping is an extremely easy topic to teach others about because the business model itself is very simple and very easy to explain for all my beginners that are watching this drop shipping is basically when you set up a website and then you showcase a product that you have found on a wholesaling website then the buyer will buy that product from your website and instead of you having an inventory or shipping it from your house or you having to package and ship it they just take that address and information that the buyer gave them and they plug it into another website and they ship it from the other website straight to the buyer you are essentially the middleman just by plugging this customer to them with your own storefront of a website so the first step that you're going to take if you want to start drop shipping is finding a winning product and trying to figure out what kind of product you want to sell and what kind of niche you want to get into i have a whole video dedicated just to this on my youtube channel that will physically show you step by step how to find the product not just me telling you to go do this and that so if you want to see this step-by-step tutorial i'll have that on my youtube channel throughout that video i tell you guys that you want to make sure that you are using a product to sell or getting into a niche that you can incorporate into your everyday life for example i have seen people get into the dog niche or the pat niche and they don't have pets so how can you possibly market that yourself if you don't have pets we will talk more about marketing in this video coming up another huge thing that i don't see enough gurus talking about is that they are just telling you to drop ship products and they're not even looking at the date of how long it's gonna take for that shop or that wholesaler to ship it to your customer because remember your customers relying on you to deliver their product fast the way that amazon has made it nowadays is not easy to dropship as much as it was five years ago only because amazon has been on such a rise since then and people are expecting their packages quick or at least some type of correspondence to see where their package is or just an email that says their product has been shipped you want to make sure that you're choosing a product that has a fast shipping time which i show you step by step how to find those in that video that i explained earlier number two now that you've found your product now it's time to build a website almost every single guru that i have seen on youtube and tick tock say to use shopify and i entirely disagree with this and here's why they say oh well you can start for free as in you can start your free trial shopify will bill you after a certain amount of time i believe it's one to two months and then you have to start paying for your shop so if you are at the point yet where you're not ready or you're not generating income that time clock is still ticking and they are going to charge you if you don't start selling it doesn't matter if you start selling your products or not that charge is still coming every single month i promise you shopify is not the only option out there and another thing that's really crazy is that a lot of people that use shopify and a lot of these gurus it is so easy to fake the analytics for shopify i will show you guys a video right here of someone i found on tech talk that shows you how easy it is to actually fake the analytics exposing tick tock gurus part four all right as you can see zero dollars in sales right all i have to do is come to orders click on create order now i just choose a product of mine to the order let's do 11 and mark as paid now as you can see it says i have eleven hundred dollars in sales today and even if i refresh it it still comes up again eleven hundred i'm telling you there's so many gurus right now on tick tock doing this exact trick shout out to this user for exposing that and showing people that because that to me just shows you guys too that you cannot believe everything you see so you want to make sure that the website host that you are using is going to be free and you probably say oh well there's no such thing as that there is there's a website host that i use when i was 17 and whenever i'm thinking about starting a new business i always always start with this platform it's called big cartel and i have a step-by-step tutorial on my youtube channel was actually the first video that i ever made on this channel to show you guys that you can create a website for free zero dollars a monthly for up to five products and there's no extra charge like it's not like okay they're gonna charge you more in fees it's exactly the same as shopify fees or because you have to realize every time um a person buys things from you they charge like a payment processing fee usually one or two dollars with shopify it's exactly the same as big cartel so both of these websites are the same fees except shopify you have that taking time bomb that you're going to start being charged very soon where with big cartel if you are just getting your website ready and you know it takes a couple months to really like grow your you know brand and everything you're going to want to use something that you don't have to feel like you have to hurry up and rush and do all these things to make sales but that's another thing that i have seen extremely it's almost like you're if you're scrolling down youtube all you see are these videos of shopify are people using shopify for their dropshipping business and i just don't agree with it so once you have built your website now it is time to market your product so one thing that a lot of these gurus tell you to use is to just take the videos from these um chinese suppliers like sites a lot of them will show you actual like videos from the chinese sites that you can like kind of reuse or they like show you other websites that you can like go and get the video on that other people are using i a thousand percent disagree with this and here's why these videos usually are horizontal because they're technically made for facebook ads which we will talk about next um and they don't really look to me they don't look legitimate another thing is that these gurus tell you to do is start buying facebook ads this is a big problem for me because look at all the money that you've already invested because you're trying to make this quick money but look at all the money that you've already invested in and you're now buying facebook ads so you have to think about it like this like you started this to make money you didn't start this to start dumping money into this project i have known so many people that followed these instructions by these gurus making it so simple and they have not had good results and the reason being is that there's you cannot rely on just paying for ads or paying youtubers or paying influencers for ads i'm gonna be really honest we had so you guys know we have a youtube channel for my dog so we do content for people when they request it and we do ads for people when they request it and i have gotten quite a few drop shippers that i can tell it's through shopify like they're trying to do all these things that these other people are telling them to do and they wind up emailing us you know and i usually charge like i charge them around like two thousand dollars you know for a youtube video or for a tick tock post on my dog's channel um but the thing is is that they're like well i always ask i'm like what's your instagram what's your take talk what's your youtube they're like oh well we don't have it so what they're asking me to do is just to promote their link in the description so they're not even like growing a brand they're just trying to make money off of investing in influencer which is not guaranteed them to sell anything it would be so much more valuable if instead of telling somebody to just share the link to just tell us what's your instagram what you have to be growing some kind of social media presence you have to be growing a brand to have a successful drop shipping store long term social proof is so important but it has to be through social proof through your own account not social proof through other people's accounts and again facebook ads can be so costly with the power of tick tock you do not need to pay for ads period i see a lot of businesses paying for instagram ads too and facebook ads and just and even tic talk ads and it's just so unnecessary so as i show in my how to find a product video in that video i show you guys you know how you're going to market your product because what you're going to want to essentially do is once you find your niche once you find your products once you have your website ready you want to order a sample of that product so then you can use that product and you know show it off and you know tell a story why are you selling this product and you're going to do this through tick tock tick tock should be your main priority right now instagram is probably going to die within the next year um youtube is never going away but youtube is definitely harder to grow on without another outside source if it was not for tick tock i would not be sitting here right now doing these videos i would literally still be dental assisting and being a dental hygienist right now if it was not for tick tock growing my businesses not only that but tick tock is now proven to be the most watched social media site right now currently people are now spending more time on tick tock than on youtube and if you can go viral with just a single video you've now got the most captive audience in the world and it's not going anywhere anytime soon i have a separate video of course of how i started to market my business on tech talk i'll leave the link also right here so if you guys want to see how we made our businesses tick tock viral i have a video about that right here but we're going to stick for drop shipping for right now and just talk about the fact of how you are going to market on tick tock through drop shipping so once you get that product you're going to want to make sure you have nice lighting you do nice videos you could go outside doesn't mean you have to buy a ring light or anything you can go outside um but again you're going to pick a product that is going to match with your life what do you feel like you use in your life that's also online that you could also sell us we actually were drop shipping a product for a while of the um i'll leave the product right here it was like an actual bottle that we used with our dog took our dog out or whenever we were outside with our dog we took so many videos of the bottle with um our dog mika and we were dropshipping those products as well i wound up just kind of taking it off the website because for me it wasn't worth the profit i rather um kind of just focus on products that we were shipping ourselves but that's just my personal opinion i really love the control of having inventory but i understand not everybody's ready to order all these things in inventory and manufacture your own products i understand you want to start with drop shipping because i do feel like that's the best way to start as well as a beginner it teaches you business but it also teaches you how to work with these sellers and how to negotiate as well but moral of the story you want to make sure you pick a product and market it through your everyday life and build your brand so you need to make an instagram tick tock especially a tick tock you need to promote it on tick tock almost every single day you need to be thinking about what tick tock can i make with this what can i do but people can tell when it's not your video and people can tell when it's your real genuine video and i mean and even if you want to do videos of yourself you know packaging it or things like that you can still do that too to help build trust i mean you're not scamming anyone you know that product is gonna go to them from this seller so you could do that as well as i also explained in my how to find a product video i have also said that the main goal with drop shipping is you want to make sure you have a long-term business model this is not a get rich quick money scheme you want to make sure that everything you're doing is going to be long term and you are starting to brand your product if in any case your this product starts to pop off for you you need to contact that seller you need to find a cheaper seller on alibaba and you need to figure out how you can incorporate this into your own brand you want to make sure that you're treating this business as you would if you had the inventory um but i wanted to make this video specifically to point out things that i see goobers telling you that i don't recommend for you if you're just starting out even right now if i was to start a new business right now i would still go with the big hotel free plan zero dollars monthly so i don't get my panties in a bunch worrying about all right well this site is charging me soon or and maybe you're not the type to worry about money but even for me and the money that we make every month i don't want to ever lose money who wants to lose money so i really just want to make sure you know that's emphasized that i don't agree with a lot of these gurus of how they're directing you because i see these people that even we are working with they have this thing in their mind like if they pay us two thousand dollars for a video they're gonna make like ten thousand dollars off this and that's just not going to be the case if especially if you don't have it branded you don't have an instagram you don't have a tick tock you have nothing to keep connect with these customers other than a link in our bio or our description of the videos so i hope this video helped you expose some of these things that these gurus are saying and just make you think a little bit i mean if you don't agree with me just watch another youtuber's videos and then you can decide for yourself what you want to do but it's good to have two different mindsets in mind before you jump into something even if there's a free trial you have to remember that they are going to charge you but with websites like the ones that i use and this is not sponsored at all like this is just what i've always used with websites like that you have the ability to kind of just kind of like you know ease into it you're not being rushed you're not trying to like get these ads out you're not trying to do these things and that's really just what's going to set you apart from other people and shopify i know has this whole fancy website they have all these features and these drop shipping gurus show you all these features that shopify has which they do and that's great for experienced businesses but if you are just starting out i just don't recommend that because at the end of the day if someone sees you marketing something and they see your link they're going to click on your link and they're going to buy it they're not going to like be like oh well there's not this many pictures there's not this many features they don't show the video because you're they're going to see the video on the marketing platform that you're using and with tit talk i don't know how long this tick tock thing is going to be viral for because you have to remember also tick tock it's not new but it's not old either so i remember when instagram got very over saturated but with tick tock because it's the most viewed um social media right now now is the time to start your business and jump into this um only because it's just it's just so worth it to try it and if i didn't try doing this on tick tock you know like a year ago i would not be here sitting here making 35 000 a month from tick tock from making tick tocks i literally wake up i make tick tocks and then i chill and like my life has never been i've never been more thankful for this life and i'm not just trying to be one of those people like oh quit your nine to five like do all this stuff like i like i worked even like while i started to do this but then i started to see the potential and i started to see that i was making way more than i could ever make working for someone that i quickly changed my mind and with the power of tick tock this can happen for you too if you play your cards right so if you have any questions regarding this video comment down below i will be answering all of your questions if you have any that i can answer i will let you know if i can't answer them i will tell you to who to go to to answer them thank you guys so much for watching make sure you guys hit that subscribe button and like button so i can continue making videos like this
