What to sell? Here is an original idea!

Posted on September 5, 2017 by admin

Today while browsing through Facebook wall I stumbled upon an interesting dropshipping shopify offer (they are driving traffic via Facebook Ads like I am teaching in the course)

Take a look. Instead of going the beat down road with selling “dog products” or “necklaces” or “t-shirts” (the market is really oversaturated with those), these guys went really original and playing on the “nostalgic” and our childhood memories of the retro games.

This is their ad, well written as well:

No surprise it got many comments and shares. and if you check their offer, they are selling the retro games station for 67 EURO (!).

The shopify store is well done as well with well placed apps, scarcity and reviews.

Now if you check SellslikeHotcakes Tools, you can easily find the suppliers they use.

with the sourcing price of $30.99 USD! (Just 25 EUR!)

As you can see they are getting almost $30 Net profit per sale or maybe more, as the shipping is free.

So you can see how well you can get started with dropshipping using a simple viral idea, playing on the passion and nostalgia idea instead of trying to sell generic products like necklaces or t-shirts!

If you have not started, I hope you get started soon, and get your store going for the coming-soon Christmas sale!!

What about long waiting time with dropshipping from aliexpress?? 2-4 weeks is a lot of wait? wont there be complains and refunds?

Claudia says at 20:59 et

That's not an issue as long as you don't sell on amazon or ebay and only use this method on your OWN site (shopify store). So you customer cant ruin your acc feedback with negative reviews on slow delivery time.
For amazon you should only use domestic dropshippers to avoid long waiting time.
One more tip - call the shipping "FREE". when something is free people tend to complain less. Okay it's slow but i got it for free so i will wait.

For VA (Virtual assistant) better flat rate or hourly??

Evan says at 21:50 et

I never give a flat rate. I always offer hourly because some months it varies and I would never to over pay

I started private label selling 6 weeks ago and my conversion rate is 8.5%. Is that good or bad? I sell around 7 units per day

lou says at 17:39 et

It's good. Your goal is to sell 10 units per day, $10 per unit profit. You are on the right track, keep pushing!

Kylie says at 19:56 et

No Raven, not necessary. But you must have a site ready

Claudia says at 20:00 et

If you are approved nobody can sell over your ASIN, chance your title etc.

I was on shopify then left over grey areas of card merchants not wanting to support product. Months later I came back and then left after 10 days due to lack of available products in my niche. Aliexpress vendors using misleading titles or description don't help. I then tried an app to upload Amazon products as an affiliate and do a review site, but it looks gawdy compared to shopify, and I will never make money like that. Therefore, I am convinced that shopify is way better. I'll just have to find a different niche that Aliexpress or a US dropshipper can fulfill!

I think the niche finder tool and the "Most passionate niches" report will help you find the product http://sellslikehotcakes.co/niches.php Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

Shopify supports Stripe and Paypal, no grey areas there, very easy these days. Try to attach them both!

Leslie says at 13:30 et

I had over eight merchant providers turn me down. For example, when you think hemp--you think...marijuana. Providers said no,no,no....Hemp is illegal, which it is not! And search Aliexpress for hemp clothing and what do you get, marijuana paraphernalia--not 100% hemp products! Hemp is just another tag for broadcloth. What I do not get is I have seen things like marijuana seed sites with a shopify or Paypal logo on their site? But.. I was denied by both of them for trying to sell anything that could be misconstrued as for marijuana..like vaporizers listed under Aromatherapy. Are not marijuana seeds sold for the purpose of growing an illegal plant in most states/provinces? Why the hypocrisy with merchant providers?

You see, every provider wants to stay safe. If you are new and coming with a first product and start with something on the "edge" like marijuana-related stuff you might have trouble for sure. Start with safer products, get approved easily, then get some volume going and only when you are a trusted seller add more edgy products. Hope this helps
