I Tried Shopify Dropshipping For 1 Week (Insane Results)

people are claiming that drop shipping is dead and it no longer works in 2021. so in this video i'm going to be starting a brand new shopify drop shipping store and attempt to get it past 1 000 per day in sales now obviously there's no guarantees that we're actually gonna succeed and if this challenge wasn't already hard enough i'm gonna be giving myself only seven days to hit this goal drop shipping has changed a lot over the last few years and in this video i'm gonna be proving that drop shipping is far from dead i'm gonna be documenting this entire experience completely transparently showing you each and every step of me launching this drop shipping business and showing you how much profit we actually end up making also you guys know that i love putting myself under the gun so if we do not hit our goal of one thousand dollars per day in sales then i'm gonna be giving away five hundred dollars to one of the viewers who drops a like and comments on this video so now that's either way let's get this challenge started all right guys the clock just started it's currently march 8th and i forgot to mention this in the last clip but if this challenge wasn't already hard enough i'm only going to be giving myself 100 starting budget to get this business off the ground which literally means that one misstep could completely wipe us out of the challenge but there is gonna be one catch while we do only have 100 starting budget any money that does come in from the sales we're gonna be able to use right away so we don't have to wait on any deposits to come in so my plan for today is to try to find a viral product that we can advertise profitably and this is usually a pretty difficult task unless you know what you're looking for so i'm gonna get to work look for a product and update you guys after we have some progress [Music] all right guys so i've been on facebook looking for a winning product for around the last hour and to be honest i didn't really find anything that looked good until i started browsing tiktok and i ended up finding something that will change this entire challenge so let me show you guys what this product actually is so i found this company called zen bodies and basically what they're doing is they're promoting the shower head that's went viral on aliexpress and facebook ads multiple times so if you check their views out they're literally getting hundreds of thousands of views on every single post so in my opinion i think this brand's doing over 20 000 per day and they have a relatively simple website something that we could definitely improve on and build much better so i've officially decided to sell this shower head and it's not any normal shower head the value proposition behind the shower is that it has these different beads in them and basically it cleans your water so i think this is a perfect problem solving product and i actually decided since that advertiser is actually promoting their store off tick tock i have to do the same thing so my plan for this video is to test a few different traffic sources so not only am i gonna be testing facebook ads out in this video i'm also gonna go ahead and try to make some money using free tick tocks and then i'm also going to try some instagram influencers that way we can have a real sample size and see what advertising platform is best for this product now obviously i have a ton of work to do so i'm going to get started on the website all right guys i'm not even joking but i literally spent the last two hours building the website and then i forgot to save it so i ended up having to rebuild the whole thing so it's been about four hours but we finally got the website complete and i'm pretty happy how it actually turned out so let's hop into my phone and i'm gonna show you guys everything all right guys so here's the website i ended up coming up with this brand name called serene shower and we ended up building a really simple home page what we did focus most of our time on was this product page over here we built this custom from scratch so if you see there is a couple errors on here this is the first time i've actually viewed it live but i'm actually super excited with this product page i think all the information in here is really going to help sell the product and compared to the other competitors i saw selling this product our landing page is much better so there's a couple things i need to do to finalize this product page i'm going to add some reviews i'm going to fix any errors and then i'm going to go out and launch some facebook ads and start working on some tick tocks all right guys so it's been a full 24 hours since our last update and i ended up ordering some video ads off of fiverr yesterday and they came out really solid i actually just finished launching the ads up and i ended up targeting five different interests shower skin care dermatology natural skin and modern bathroom i ended up ordering two separate creatives so we could see which buyer pool does best so the first ads angle shows how this product takes bacteria and different toxins out of the water and then the second ad angle is focused around how this is a cool shower and it helps you relax and it turns your home into a spa so i'm actually really excited to see which one outperforms the other but unfortunately we were only able to launch the ads up on a 25 a day budget because it is a new ad account so if we want even a small chance of hitting our thousand dollar per day goal then we're gonna need to get really creative and hopefully blow up on tick tock so i just ordered one of these shower heads on amazon and it should be here later today [Music] all right guys so we just finished recording some tick tocks and i'm actually super surprised with the quality of this shower i'm gonna put some clips on the screen of my old shower compared to the new serene shower so as you see it's a pretty dramatic difference and it definitely helped us make some killer tick tocks this is the first tick tock we made and as you can see the idea behind this tick tock is to educate people on why they actually need this shower and i just launched it up so i'm gonna update you guys tomorrow with the progress alright so i have some really exciting news but before we get into that i want to go over the results with facebook ads so like i mentioned we launched the ads up with two separate variations at 25 dollars per day and currently we just broke the threshold of 25 and we actually have zero sales but here's where things get juicy that tick tock we posted last night actually ended up getting a ton of traction so i know most of you guys won't believe this but the tick tock ended up getting over 7 000 views and guys here's the craziest thing if we actually go on shopify let me show you guys what ended up happening we ended up getting three sales if you guys see over here we actually sold three units these aren't some draft orders i'm gonna go to the shopify we're gonna go to drafts guys there is zero draft orders these were all organically from tick tock we got 80 visitors this is absolutely ridiculous i gotta be completely honest i really didn't think that we were gonna get sales our very first day from our tick tocks but i really think this validated which advertising strategy we should double down on so while i will leave the facebook ads running i don't think i am going to test out instagram influencers i want to make sure i focus all of my time on building some killer tick tock so we can hit that dollar per day goal so i'm gonna keep pumping out those fire tick tocks and i'll update you guys tomorrow so honestly i thought we were gonna hit our 1k goal yesterday because literally in a matter of 20 minutes we got in three sales on that first tick tock but literally right after it died down and we've gotten absolutely no view since then so now that tick tock was dead i was on a mission to get another viral tick tock so i ended up launching six tick tocks today and i spent a ton of time trying to perfect these ted talks but they literally got no views so i gotta be honest i'm pretty bummed out right now but to be fair i am a complete beginner with tick-tock so i think my plan for today is to get on youtube do as much education as possible so i can come in confident tomorrow and hopefully hit that 1k goal alright guys so i ended up spending a few hours yesterday on youtube trying to learn absolutely everything about tik tok and i found a few things that i could potentially be doing wrong so number one my tick tock's currently a business account and from what i've heard having a business account isn't advantageous because you're actually not able to use different viral music because of copyright so i ended up switching my profile back to a personal account and we're gonna see if that performs better and then number two one of the best recommendations that i heard is focusing on the first two seconds because that's really what drags people into your video so i'm definitely gonna keep my eyes peeled and try to make those two seconds as appealing as possible and then number three the quantity of uploads that's actually going down and i was recommended somewhere around five to six and i actually posted six yesterday so it looks like i was posting around the right quantity but it just really hasn't gotten the results we wanted so what i'm gonna do is i'm just gonna be implementing this exact strategy today and we're gonna actually see if we can get another video viral and just a little revenue update we managed to get zero sales from tick tock today but we finally got our first sale from facebook ads for 39.99 and we actually ended up spending around 65 to get this first sale which means that we're actually not profitable so i'm gonna cut those facebook ads and we're just gonna go absolutely all in on these tick tock ads because our facebook was capped out at 25 per day so it's not like that was gonna get us to the thousand dollar goal anyways i'll see you guys tomorrow with an update on how these tick tocks do hopefully we can put a hail mary together and hit that thousand dollar goal hey guys so i apologize about the bad audio i was gonna give you guys an update tomorrow but i'm feeling pretty frustrated and bummed out today honestly i pretty much spent the whole day trying to make tick tocks and all of them pretty much flopped which kind of sucks but um i've been kind of thinking today and trying to think if there's any way we can actually get to that thousand dollar goal and something actually hit me so technically our tick tock did do really well for us but the only issue was that we weren't able to get any more views to the video so then i thought what if we actually try out some tick-tock ads i've never tried out the tick tock ad manager before but i think this is the perfect opportunity so i'm gonna wake up early tomorrow and i'm gonna try to test some of these out and we'll see how it goes so here's some clips of me the very next morning diving into the tiktok ad platform the very first thing i needed to do was installer tiktok pixel so i headed over the shopify app store and it was actually a super easy process installing the pixel so then once i got onto the tick tock ad manager i launched up my very first campaign with a daily budget of 50 one thing i was super delighted to see is how similar the tick tock ad manager is to facebook so anyway i ended up picking my interest in targeting and i decided to go after beauty and personal care and then i started creating the ad inside of the ad set and within just a few minutes we had our very first tick tock ad published all right so i have some good news and some bad news our tick tock got approved super quickly the review process was much faster than the standard facebook review and within just a few minutes we started to see a good amount of traffic and it was really interesting to see how these tick tock users reacted to our website we actually got a pretty decent add to cart ratio and we were end up paying about 35 cost per click so what's really cool is after we spent about 22 dollars we actually ended up getting our very first sale from tick tock ads for 39.99 and so far i'm pretty happy with the cost per acquisition if you don't know what that means it just basically means that we were profitable from that very first sale so what i ended up doing was i took our original budget of fifty dollars and i actually 3xed it so i brought it to 150 so we could try to end this challenge with the bang but i'm not even joking 15 minutes after we raised the budget this happened so if you actually see that our tick tock actually got disapproved i mean i'm super bummed out so i did end up submitting it for a manual review i mean i have no idea how long this gonna take it's kind of annoying like every time i do one of these challenges we have some issues like this but this is gonna give you a realistic view of what it's like running an ecommerce business anyways i'll update you guys if i hear anything back all alright guys so i have a hilarious story our ads have been disabled for the last three days but i was just out chilling at topgolf and i got a notification on my phone it was a bill from tick tock ad and just a few hours later when i went on the shopify store this happened and if you guys don't believe me i'm going to show you inside the tick tock ad manager so you can see here if we filter to saturday the 20th you can see that we spent a total of 200 we had a 49 cost per click and we ended up getting 412 clicks so if we actually go over to the shopify you can see that equated to 11 sales for 524 dollars um and it ended up being 13 units that were sold we had a pretty decent conversion rate so i'm pretty happy i think the funniest thing to me about these sales is that i was ready to just throw in the towel and show you guys that our account got disabled but literally out of nowhere we started getting hoards of sales but to be honest i was very confident with this store and i knew it had tons of potential our ads just weren't able to run but technically we did go over our seven day timeline so i am going to be giving away 500 to someone who likes this video and comments down below anyway my plan is to keep this store running because we have tons of traction right now so i think i'm gonna make a part two to this video trying to get it to ten thousand dollars per day so if you do want to see that make sure to let me know in the comments as well now the last thing i want to do is go over all expenses and show you guys how much profit we ended up securing so to sum everything up we ended up getting 17 orders for a total of 762 dollars and if we actually break down all the expenses we ended up spending 65 on facebook ads 242 dollars on tick tock ads 14 on our domain 50 on our facebook ad creatives 20 on our processing fee and if we total up the entire product cost it ended up being another 247 dollars so if you actually calculate everything our grand total is 126 dollars in profit now that's a small number but keep in mind we only started with the 100 budget and literally after a week we actually doubled that so if this was on a large budget it would be absolutely nuts now i think this video speaks for itself i'm making the most transparent content on youtube right now and if you guys actually want to learn behind the scenes on how to grow a wildly profitable ecommerce business then click the first link down in my description i have a program that's specifically designed to take a beginner and show them how to start a wildly profitable ecommerce business and it's actually for a super reasonable price especially for the value you guys are getting but anyways that's all i have for you guys today i really hope you did enjoy the video
