I Tried To Make A Profit In Dropshipping With Tiktok Ads

so I started DropShipping two weeks ago and the  results were not that good but I didn't decide to   give up a search for a new product that I can use  to make my first potential sales. So the product   that I found was a crystal lamp. I saw that on  TikTok and man these videos, bro they exploded in   views so I decided to take this product and really  test it out this time and while I was building   my website and my store, I actually thought about  adding additional products to my store and create   a niche store. So that's exactly what I did and  y'all know I'm still a beginner so it took me two   days to build the store which is way faster than  the last video, I took like one week. Man two days   is actually decent so I really was confident in  this product and also in the niche store that I   built because ey man the store looked great in my  opinion but all that does not matter if you do not   get sales so I went over to tiktok and downloaded  the videos that already blowed up. Several videos   gaining over million views. I mean that's insane.  So all I did is download the videos throw them   into adarsus, which removes the metadata so that  it might seem as it is a brand new content and now   I was ready to run the ads. So for the ads I kept  everything Broad and didn't Target no interest or   whatever and I set it to run all day long so  basically we had one ad campaign containing   of four different ad groups and in each ad group  there were five different ad creatives. So now I   had one job letting the ads run. While analyzing  the ads your boy ran into another problem again. I   missed out on two sales. I saw that two people  reached checkout but did not purchase and I'm   like what is going on and I saw, I claimed that  I'm giving free shipping but I did not manually   add a free shipping mode in my Shopify settings  so I still had like the regular Shopify shipping   rates and they were like 21 dollars like bro  that's why the people ain't purchasing man so   yeah I guess we were good to go and hope for  potential sales now. So after the first day   of spending the ads I analyzed it and they were  pretty rough I mean the metrics were pretty bad.   We didn't convert with 125 dollars of AD spend so  yeah day one was not too hopeful but we hope for   the next days being a little bit brighter and  hopefully converting and getting a few sales.   minutes later. I'm back with another problem.  Y'all know autods right it kind of lets you   import your products and stuff and I made my  mistake into importing the product directly to   my Shopify store instead of importing it first  into a draft and then editing it right there   and then importing it into my Shopify store.  Why is that a problem because the price had a   lot of changes. I put the price at like let's  say 40 dollars and it kept decreasing down to   ridiculous amounts like 25 dollars which had left  me at like three dollars profit yeah so I had to   delete all the products and re-import the products  and edit the products first in my auto DS drafts   and then imported to my store. yeah your boy is  running into problems the whole time. I guess we   will hopefully not run into more problems in this  video. So despite all the problems we didn't give   up and kept running the ads. I created a new ad  campaign because the last one was not performing   well and also decreased the daily budget because  45 dollars was way too much and I decreased it   down to 25 and this is where I just let the ads  spend and check in a few times over the course of   the days remaining and I did my best in analyzing  and editing because I really wanted to hear that   first sale. So over the course of a week we spent  400 dollars on TikTok ads, so how much did we   actually make with spending 400 dollars on TikTok  ads, well we made over fifty thousand dollars in   sales. I should have picked another screenshot  [Music] oh it's still rolling bru. Nah but all   jokes aside we made three sales in total which  is almost 115 dollars and ey are we profitable   definitely not but we made three sales man this  is my first three sales can I get a applause.   Man I made the mistake in spending too much on  ads with trash creatives let's be honest I had   trash creative that was my mistake and that's  why I lost a little bit more than I should have   but I learned from it stay tuned for the next  video because I will test TikTok organic [Music]
