I'm so glad dude! And just know a lot of my subs that have watched my videos are already at £1000 days just from watching my videos. It's seriously insane that my free content can change lives.
Your a g for making these vidoes I’ve learned so much more from you than other TH-camrs who all repeat the same stuff. Do do a product analysis for each new product you add to your store?
I'm glad my videos are helping you! This is exactly what I was going for when setting setting out on this TH-cam grind. Not really, once I find a niche and think a product has either a wow-factor or problem solving factor or can't be bought locally then I just upload and see if Meta pushes it out via Ads. Ofc for a new store and beginners, you should spend time on product research, market research, competitor research before committing to a store.
For each of these products, you would run a meta campaign to test. If you don't do an initial check on the demand for this product, wouldn't you spend money on creatives and ads without knowing if people want it in the first place ? Maybe it works more smoothly on a scaled store due to pixel data but on a new one (less than 100 sales) there would be a step between selecting the niche (which you explained super well) and selecting products. And for those wondering,.I followed the tip and gave the DSer/aliX a shot for my recent sales and it worked well so far. Only issue is some items arriving 14-25 days after order which can be a lot (UK, Belgium and Canada).
Nope if I was to run ads for this new store I would set up dynamic carousel ads linked to my Shopify Product Catalogue like shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/tdl9LQifEA4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yPr90znYUQdBnSmb. I will give Meta the control to find me winning products then I scale from there. I've scaled a kitchen niche store before in 2021 and it was fairly easy, ofc a lot has changed but tbh Meta made is a lot easier to run ads now for branded niche stores. Good creatives = sales if the rest of your funnel is optimised. Which shipping method are you using because most of my parcels are arriving within 10 days. Countries like Canada and some European countries do take longer but that's due to the logistics process. Most fulfilment companies shipping from China to these countries will experience the same shipping times IMO. There's just no way around it for some countries after COVID.
Thank you, I'm glad you found my guide helpful! Slowly but surely growing and making a bigger impact. I'm happy with how far I've come so far but the grind don't stop. You'll love my other videos. Most of them, if not all contain some sort of value.
Thanks for breaking it down and the amazing contents! When you mention niche, how would you handle multiple products for a niche, but coming from different suppliers? Would the customer then receive a bowl from one supplier and a cup from another supplier? What would you do?
Hi and thank you for the tutorial. I have a question: when we import products via Dsers; are those product at draft mode or live mode.? Can we import products to our store as "DRAFT" before we make these imported products live/active product? So that we can make adjustments at the product descriptions etc if the imported products at draft mode. Thanks in advance. Your reply highly appricated.
Yes it's drafted when you push it to your store. Once you import then edit on Shopify. A lot of people actually get this entire process wrong and as time goes by their products are unorganised so I'm going to make a video on this.
@@theecomzone Thank you so much for your reply. At your DSERS videos; when ever you import products from Dsers to Shopify it says "Active" at Shopify's products page. Thas why I am confused and try to learn. If you do a video about importing from DSERS to Shopify as a draft, it would be perfect. Thanks in Advance.
I've seen those products before and you have to ask yourself if there is enough demand for that sort of products. Also what competition is out there. How saturated are those products? Can you find them down the road etc. This video will help you with product selection th-cam.com/video/M1A0vTVFpRY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ozQ35uEuiBxaihAK
Hey, great video! It’s very informative. I have a question on shipping hope you can shed some light it. How does shipping work if a customer buy different items from different sellers in one order?
Thank you glad it was helpful! Sometimes AliExpress will combine the parcel if shipping works out cheaper. They notice that the orders have the same address and will package it together once your suppliers ship out the parcel. I'll probably make a video on this but the process always changes as AliExpress is always making changes.
So how does the ordering work? when you get and order does to show in Dsers or shopify then you send it though to the supplier or do you manually put it through to the supplier
Hi i found you from reddit. Very useful information you upload for which thank you. What so you think about a niche store on the topic of 'camping' because now we are in a q2-q3 period and i think there a hight volume of demand to this niche?
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Not many people have started a camping store so definitely not as saturated as other niches. It's an all year round niche so it should work out well. If you're interested in camping, definitely, give it a try. Just make sure you understand your audience, best sellers, items in demand, etc.
For kitchen niche, would selecting a theme such as "Scandinavian" for the store be too narrow and limiting? Would it be better to have different sub-categories in the store such as Scandinavian, Chinese etc? Also, when corresponding with suppliers, do you keep it on Ali or take it elsewhere ie., skype?
That could also work but it would take a lot of work uploading all the products. Also this is just an example store. I would look into other possible niches out there and themes.
Man great videos as usual. Love it. How do you deal with the prices when they change? Cause the plates are on sale right now but it will change price soon again... How do we deal with that? What should we generally aim for as cost of goods?
I usually mark up my prices high enough so it covers that. Ofc when you place orders you'll find out the price increased which is actually unusual and doesn't happen often. However if it does then just place the order and for future orders increase the price on Shopify.
*Hi "TEZ". I can't see any seller information on Ali-Express (like how long the shop has been around, etc.). Do I have to register on Ali Express to see the information? Thanks! *SHAKY*
what do you think of pajamas? is it something you'd dropship given the chance. im going to niche down tho Great content btw, found you on reddit now im hooked
Hello, I want to start a dropshipping store and I was thinking of advertising solely to the United Kingdom. Do you consider this a reasonable alternative, or should I advertise directly to the top six?
After watching the video I was trying to differentiate between messaging suppliers directly vs aliexpress reps as you did in the video but after numerous attempts I was always getting the same message page. Did anything change since you posted this? How is one now able to differentiate?
@@gerryb8879 yes unfortunately they've changed this now and it seems like that idea has been scrapped. They are constantly making changes and so are Meta, such a nightmare to keep up with. I'll need to do another video but I have so many other videos that I want to make but simply not enough time 😭😭
Is it a problem if a product has a low quantitiy shown on Aliexpress (20, 30 or 50) ? Should I talk to the supplier about it or do they all restock regularly?
Best to speak to them and hopefully they reply, they set low quantities due to the new Choice service. Suppliers get punished if they sell an item with no stock now, so they like to set quantity as low.
@@grandmasterdjo yup you can book me in for a discovery call here and we can go through any questions, metrics, problems, etc: calendly.com/theecomzone/30min Speak to you soon!

You're welcome, you should probably check out my other videos as my approach is very different from other TH-camrs. I focus on building branded niche dropshipping stores and not chasing winning products because sooner or later they will become saturated. You'll always be chasing the next big thing.
@@didou8573 thanks for the kind words! Just doing my best to help the community. Too much bs out there. There's more to life than money which is why I love helping you all. If you want sort my videos by most popular and watch from there.
@@theecomzone a dropshipper with values like that are rare today, I can assure you that I will watch all your videos and share with those around me, God bless you
@@Hamxa2662 it's because I used to run a kitchen store and it was very successful. However, shut it down because the team I set it up with had a lot of disagreements.
You told in your recent video that average order value must be 50 USD for customers so how can this niche takes part in this category products must lie between 20 to 25 usd for AOV to get 50 USD
You'll need to find a balance of products and hopefully, people buy an average of $50. You can always try to increase AOV after adding products with bulk discounts and goal discounts. Upselling also helps and people may sometimes need to buy multiple bowls lets say or cups to complete the set. There are many smart ways to go about it.
This shit does work without a Facebook agency ad account. Im homeless in the shelter rn and im gonna nake a series shiwing dropshipping roly diesnt work soending every dime i get cuz i have nothing to lose anyway
mate, when i click on some suppliers it takes me to a page with just products, i mean not the store page, and usually they have 5 to 10 followers max but there products have a lot of sales, can i still work with these suppliers or not ?
The followers may be glitched, check the reviews and when they opened their store. I haven't seen that before though, but if you can't message the supplier then I wouldn't work with them.
Gym and fitness are pretty oversaturated niches and you can buy those products everywhere. Even if you're able to scale up untapped products, people are quick to jump on the bandwagon and sell the same stuff like that push-up board.
@@theecomzone isn't that true with kitchen as well? u can get it anywhere? I'm just confused on what niche to use. Every niche seems oversaturated to me
@@Gurpefy not really because you can find way more wow factor products within the kitchen niche or problem solving ones. Suppliers also add more kitchen products compared to gym products that have a higher chance of succeeding.
Do you recommend tarketing multiple countries or selling in a specific country in my case in europe and if it is multiple country should my creatives be in english or should i have multiple ads compains each targeted to a specific coutry with language
I target multiple countries and keep my campaigns in English. If you have a bigger budget then you can consider creating campaigns for local languages but at the beginning, all English ads does the job.
Shipping times are around 5 to 10 business days for top 10 countries so they're not long at all. Just be transparent with customers and they won't complain.
How can I pay more than 10 orders at the same time on Ali when fulfilling orders? It won't let me select more than 10 at a time, and what type of invoice do you send to your accountant about these orders? Thanks
I pay for them individually, long process but I like to check the addresses and orders. As for exporting orders there's a chrome plugin I use but it's not the best tbh but can't do much when it's the only thing out there.
Does Dsers contact the supplier and order the product that's been ordered from my website too? Or do I have to order anything from a supplier? And could you also make a video on how to deal with refunds and damaged items?
DSers doesn't deal with that. They just connect Shopify to AliExpress. When you press order on DSers, it will automate the order process on AliExpress and then you go to AliExpress and pay for it. Any damages or lost parcels just open dispute on the AliExpress order. Again DSers does not deal with this. You work directly with your suppliers. That is the benefit here.
@@theecomzone You said you didn't want to speak to Aliexpress agents in the video, but almost every time I tried to message a store that I've found it directed me to an agent. I've found some sellers which I could communicate directly, but they were not known sellers. Is there any way to deal with this problem?
@moanteq6724 they are out there just have to keep looking, I found 8 sellers so far with different Categories for my niche with high ratings. My only concern of course is shipping time but I guess it dont matter if you state it
Hi! I just rewatched the video and now I have a few other shipping related questions. Do you provide Ali tracking number to your customers? If so, were there any complaints or negative feedbacks about the items shipping out from China? If not, do you have any advice on how to provide order tracking/status update efficiently to customers without directing them to an Ali tracking website? (I think I can do this manually by sending them an email with order status update but this method isn’t scalable) Ps: I don’t want to lie to my customers about the items shipping from China but if they can clearly see that their order are fulfilled by Ali they will just order directly from Ali next time
Yes DSers sends the tracking number to my customers. I send follow up emails via the app AfterShip but there are cheaper alternatives out there. You don't need to send them to Ali tracking website. Use parcelsapp.com and Aftership or another app.
Yes that is called UGC content. Depends on the product you're selling but most of the time they work well as they feel natural and organic to the user. You can mention problems, solutions, desires, and how your product will help.
hey even on aliexpress on some sellers description it says it takes 40 days for items to arrive. How are you getting 15 days or less? is long shipping time a issue:? because I see alot of good products but don't know how long it takes to ship;p
I've mentioned this before in my videos, these shipping times are to protect them from any delays so customers cannot open disputes for long shipping times. Just make sure to choose Aliexpress Standard Shipping or the AliExpress Select Shipping as these have faster shipping times. Make sure they have 'Tracking available' as well. Most of our parcels arrive in 7 days to the UK and US takes around 10 days.
@theecomzone I see thanks for letting me know I was concern for a bit, also alot of youtubers keep saying to not use aliexpress. Thanks for being honest
Please book a discovery call with me on my website so that we can discuss your situation and answer any questions you may have about dropshipping. If you have a website or running ads we'll also go through that.

hey even on aliexpress on some sellers description it says it takes 40 days for items to arrive. How are you getting 15 days or less? is long shipping time a issue:? because I see alot of good products but don't know how long it takes to ship;p
I've mentioned this before in my videos, these shipping times are to protect them from any delays so customers cannot open disputes for long shipping times. Just make sure to choose Aliexpress Standard Shipping or the AliExpress Select Shipping as these have faster shipping times. Make sure they have 'Tracking available' as well. Most of our parcels arrive in 7 days to the UK and US takes around 10 days.
@theecomzone I see thanks for letting me know I was concern for a bit, also alot of youtubers keep saying to not use aliexpress. Thanks for being honest
@@wesleygaitan Yes they say it because they're affiliated with AutoDS or Zendrop... It's in their best interest to push those platforms out.
How much can I save up for one on one mentorship
Please book a discovery call with me on my website so that we can discuss your situation and answer any questions you may have about dropshipping. If you have a website or running ads we'll also go through that.
Yessir
Ha thanks dude!
Is it stupid to open a store with some winning products related to the same “category”?
why?
Sorry for the late response, no it's not stupid and I always recommend people launch niche stores with different sub-categories and products that are untapped and winners so you have a variety.
Is fashion a saturated niche?
It's only good if you niche down. Don't just sell any old random fashion wear.
