[00:01] in 2026 and are doing it completely wrong. They spend weeks choosing a product, building out the website, watching endless tutorials, and never people out there that are half as qualified as you, half as smart as you, [00:13] who are starting stores today and are making sales within the first 24 to 48 show you exactly how you're going to get started with drop shipping in 2026, so you can use this as a guide. So, if you're a beginner, I recommend that you [00:28] there's going to be absolutely no fluff in this video. It's going to be all up-to-date strategies. I'm going to show you how I choose the product, how I build the website, how I run the ads, literally everything. Because the truth [00:40] making money with drop shipping. You need speed, you need execution, and the for the video, I'd greatly appreciate if you can drop a like, a subscribe to the comment section if you guys have any questions regarding drop shipping or [00:54] up. I'm curious to see who's out there and supporting the content. And without computer. So, step number one is we need to find a winning drop shipping product to sell. Pretty obvious. Now, I'm going to show you a free way that you can find [01:07] Shop. And a lot of people don't know that you can view TikTok Shop right from shop.tiktok.com. It's going to bring up this page right categories, so you can sort by men's wear, women's wear, fashion, beauty [01:21] you're getting into. It also show you the TikTok Picks, which these are the have seen some of these, like this product right here, which is a roll-on serum. This is like a couple different beauty products. You can see the top [01:34] deals, the most popular items, so on and so forth, okay? We're going to click on product details, the pricing. It's going to show the reviews, but if you keep scrolling down, and this is the best part. It's going to show you the top [01:46] videos for this product that are already converting, okay? We're not doing any what's already working, what content's working for the product, and we're going what's great is if I just click on any of these, right? If I highlight over [02:00] can actually download these right to my computer. Right now, we're looking for sales validation. As you can see on this product, there's over 400,000 units going to do is I'm going to scroll through these different categories, and [02:13] I'm going to tell you my reasoning for it. So, the product I came across is this One Minute With God Devotional. And I've seen this product on my For You thought about buying it, okay? But this is a product for men that want to have [02:27] Bible, okay? So, pretty much it's going to give you a verse a day, and then that, and then you'll just do it each and every single day. Um, you're solve a problem?" Well, it helps men be able to worship God in an easier way. [02:42] So, technically, it does solve a problem. As you can see, over 68,000 units sold, a 4.9 star rating. So, if we scroll down to the bottom, we'll be able here's all of the different content that we can go ahead and utilize. So, now [02:55] validation, I want you to head over to Facebook Ad Library, and I want you to type in the name of your product. So, just type in men's devotional 365. And is set to active ads. Obviously, you want to see ads that are currently [03:08] through and see if there's competitors selling your product. And if there is, see a couple of different things. So, here's one right here. As you can see, get some inspiration. We can see their offer, see their angle, their messaging, [03:22] to be able to sell this product. Now, if we go back, we can actually see that they've been running this ad since January 29, 2026. No one's running ads converting for them. So, again, we can check out the video, we can see their ad [03:37] okay? We want to make sure that there's at least a couple competitors that are selling this product. A lot of you guys shy away from competition, but the more product's saturated. That just means that there's demand. So, now that you [03:49] is to find a supplier that can source that product for you, okay? We need a shipping times, good communication, and also good product quality. So, the TeamDrop. It's the number one drop shipping supplier in the world, okay? [04:04] It's 100% free. You don't need to have a specific number of orders to work with If you go down to the first link in the description, that link is going to allow but also, it's going to give you some free credits to use once you get into [04:18] in, head over to TeamDrop Products, and you're going to see a screen like this. directly from 1688 and all these other large manufacturers, so they get factory pricing. They're going to have the best pricing out there, hands down. These are [04:32] offer, over 119,000 different items. So, you can go ahead or you can come to the top, click on categories, and sort by niche. But what take a screenshot of the One Minute With [04:45] going to do is just click this button right here and upload the image and right here on the bottom, Daily Prayer Devotional Book. And if we click on it, here is the exact product. So, as you can see, it's $2.29 for the product [04:57] cost, and then the shipping fee is $8 and 31 cents. Now, you can upgrade your shipping method. It depends on the product. Some are faster, okay? As you to use some common sense. So, right now, 7 to 15 days is very solid for drop [05:10] shipping, okay? And you can see this next one here, 7 to 15 days, 7 to 15 you know, shipping method. So, for me personally, for this specific product, I would just keep it at the 7 to 15 days at $8.31. [05:23] So, the total cost all in is $10.60. we're going to be able to charge at least about $34.99 for this product, so we're going to list this product to our store, so just click on list to store. [05:37] If you haven't tied it already, make sure you just come over to store and just authorize your store. It's really simple. If you're already signed automatically. Super simple. But choose your store. Product type, I just put [05:50] devotional. Vendor is just your shop name. And then the product title, this can see, I'm calling this the One Minute With God Men's Daily Devotional. And whatever. I just put best sellers. So, you can customize the variant pricing. [06:04] to do $29.99 for now. And then the images and the description, I'm going to changing it on my product page. So, just go on to the bottom and click list now. supplier. The next step is we got to build out our product page. This is [06:18] to, so this is really important. Now, a lot of people will tell you to use an AI But for me personally, I've been doing have my own template that I personally like to use for every single product [06:30] that I test. If you want that template, make sure you go down to the description I give it to all of my students completely for free. But good thing for if you want to copy it, feel free. So, I'm going to go ahead, I'm going to work [06:43] on this product page, and I'm going to get back to you guys here in a minute. [06:55] okay? Now, only thing I need to do is actually change the colors. The color ignore that. It's actually going to be this brown color, but I'll change it start at the top so you can get a gist of what's going on. So, first off, my [07:08] know they're fire. And if you continue to watch this video, I'm actually going to show you later on how you can create these for yourself, okay? So, my main hero image is just Your Daily Time With God Begins Here. As you can see, here's [07:20] the book. All this was created with AI. The second one, all these images again are created with AI. Biblical wisdom applied to the battles that real men face every day. Okay, I have another image here, 365 Days of Wisdom for the [07:33] Benefits Around It. I love this one. This one's super clean, too. And then One Minute Changed Everything. Before I was disconnected, overwhelmed, and now I'm grounded, present. So, just a before and after, but just in a different way. [07:46] Then I have a easy-to-redesign graphic, which follows my brand scheme, which is here shortly. And then it just shows the inside of the book and what the pages straightforward. Those are my five or six images. That's all you really need, [07:59] Doesn't really need too much of an explanation. Now, we're calling this the Devotional. As you can see, we have our reviews. I like to have a callout to my ideal customer. So, for the man who keeps meaning to get back into his [08:13] this is where you start. So, as you can see, I have one devotional for $29.99. for $4.99. So, it comes out to about $34.98. And if we remember, TeamDrop was [08:25] offering us the product for around 10 bucks. So, on one unit sold, I'm making like $24, okay? So, fantastic margins. And then we're doing a buy two, get one free, which people will buy this because they're going to get free shipping. And [08:37] like I said here, it says perfect for gifting. So, people will be able to gift family members, things of that nature. So, very simple offer. I'm just trying sell or not. I don't want to create too much friction. So, then I have like a [08:51] guarantee underneath my um, buy button, just so people see, "Oh, okay, they do well with skin care and supplement products, where it's a little bit more some collapsible rows going over the product. If we scroll down, we have the [09:05] to cart or add the product to cart anywhere on the product page. Then brown, so it's going to say Real Men, Real Faith, Real Change. And then these are all just videos that I downloaded right from TikTok of people showcasing [09:19] the product, okay? Very important. I have this section for any product page. section, which is just a GIF of someone opening up the book, Become the Man Your text, we have a button here. Then we have another image with text, Finally [09:33] to You. Another GIF of someone reading the book, and then more explanation with a claim offer button. And then we have this comparison table section, which is, again, not the right colors, but How Does One Minute With God Compare to [09:46] another section here, um, which just basically says What Happens When Men gives percentages. And again, I got ChatGPT to to up with all of this. We we've got you covered section with different frequently asked questions to [10:01] help mitigate all of the questions you're going to get asked from your reduces the amount of emails that you'll get. So, make sure you have some sort of mini FAQ somewhere on your product page. But, that's pretty much it. Oh, okay. [10:14] And then we end off with reviews. So, we have over 1,014 reviews. I use A reviews. It's about five or six bucks a month. And then you can see these are all verified purchases. So, that right there is the product page. Very, very [10:26] and there if I'm testing a skin care product or supplements, which I like to after sliders, maybe a little bit more testimonials, things of that nature. But, for the most part, this is what I like to test from day one. So, now what [10:40] exactly how to generate these high-quality product page images, okay? supplier is giving you. Not that they don't give you good images, but you got going to do the exact same thing and they're not willing to put in the extra [10:54] you how you're going to come up with the copy as well. So, let's start with the is head back over to Team Drop. And then you're going to want to scroll down and they actually just launched their brand new AI design feature. So, they have um [11:07] basically you can create posters, you can create product page images, which is can click on that. They have model try-ons. So, you basically can put a model in there and have them wear your product. They have videos. They have all [11:19] what we're going to be focusing on for this video is the actual product main want to do is you're going to want to click and drag your product here. So, I'm literally just going to take an image from my competitor, which is this [11:33] me show earlier in the video. So, once it's done, it's going to prefill your okay? So, what you're going to want to do is put the name of your actual leave the prompt that they gave me in here. And I'm going to show you how good [11:46] anything to the prompt. And then I'm going to go ahead and just do minimal. I'm going to leave it on Gemini. And then make sure it's on aspect ratio 1:1. it's going to do its thing. Usually it takes about less than a minute and we'll [11:59] up with. And this is what it came up with, which I think is pretty damn clean prompt. I left it as is. So, you can see how quickly you can get some product images made for your product page. And this puts you a step ahead of all the [12:13] drop shippers that aren't willing to do the extra work, okay? So, like I said in to use Team Drop for your supplier, sign up with that link in the description. added automatically to your account so you can try these AI features for [12:27] yourself. Now, another thing you can do is actually just screenshot your to make this. Screenshot the image that you want. So, you're going to attach the image and then I just put a simple prompt. Make me an in-depth detailed AI [12:39] prompt to make this image. Let's make the design and text about 90% the same, them. Super basic. I put no time and thought into this. And then as you can prompt. So, what we're going to do is we're going to copy and paste this whole [12:52] Team Drop. So, I just uploaded the reference image here. I put the product this, which is the prompt that they give us automatically. I'm going to paste the prompt that we got from ChatGPT. I'm going to use minimal. And then we're [13:05] going to generate the main image. And would you look at that? Within a few image as your competitor. Or if you did mine, you got mine now, okay? Literally the exact same thing. And the key is to make sure that you put that it's about [13:18] 90% different so that way it doesn't just copy it 1:1. But, now you have the and put it on your own product page. Pretty crazy, right? So, if you want to description, get you some free credits and give it a shot for yourself. So, now [13:32] for the actual description of the store, it's really simple. I use a prompt that give it to all of my students. If you join Unlimited Ecom Academy, first link in the description, shameless plug. Um but, what we're going to do is we're [13:45] to put it over to Claude. I like using Claude for my copywriting. And then you selling a blank. So, One Minute With God Men's Daily Devotional on Shopify store. And then I have a section here for product context. So, basically briefly [13:59] sentences. So, usually what I do is I just find the product on Amazon. I go back to my prompt. And then instead of just describing it, I just put Amazon And then I just paste the link so that way Claude can just go check out what [14:11] the actual product is. And now it'll give me all of my product description. I okay? So, we'll just start with the UVPs. And we'll copy the first UVP, bring it over to our product page, and [14:24] section. And then the collapsible tabs, okay? Let's just say we're doing the guarantee. We'll copy the guarantee, bring it over to our product page. We'll scroll down. As you can see, we have a 30-day money-back guarantee here. And [14:36] section. Super simple. So, that's how I come up with the copy really fast. And that's exactly how I also create my product images. So, usually a product minutes to an hour to cook up real quick. And then I'm good to go. All [14:49] final step of getting your drop shipping business launched, and that is sure we get our creative set up. We got to get our campaign set up so that way we can advertise and get customers to our store. Now, honestly, this is my [15:02] this is where all the money's made. If you do not [clears throat] get this part anything that we just did throughout this entire video. Advertising has to be I like to use Meta Ads to be able to advertise my drop shipping businesses. [15:16] looking for, okay? With TikTok Ads, things tend to die out a lot quicker than Meta, right? You can have ads working for you for months. Sometimes with TikTok Ads, your ads will burn out pretty quickly, okay? Through out [15:29] advertising for years now, Meta is going to be more of the long-term play. And learn Meta Ads, you'll be able to dip into TikTok Ads because the ad managers want to do is just set up your Meta Business Manager. I have plenty of [15:43] by step exactly how to do this. So, I'll be sure to link one at the top right instructions, and then come back to this video. So, let's go ahead and create our then you're going to want to go ahead and click on sales campaign. Obviously, [15:57] we want sales. Click next. And now we're on the campaign screen. So, usually what I like to do is just name this the name of my product. So, just Men's Devotional and we're going to do a CBO. So, if you don't know what a CBO is, basically [16:11] the campaign level. So, we're going to be setting this to 50 bucks a day. If you can't do $50 a day, I would recommend not to run ads. $50 is the spending on a daily basis to be able to get enough data back. So, again, you're [16:24] campaign level. If you did ad set budget, you'd be setting the budget at step, okay? So, the difference between the two is that Facebook is basically going to disperse your $50 budget how it sees fit and what ads it thinks it will [16:39] bring the best return. That's a CBO. is where you basically will set the specific budget for every ad. So, if you want to do $20 on this ad, $20 on that ad, you can do that, okay? So, basically it's just whether you want Facebook to [16:52] control it or if you want to actually manually pump each ad. So, now you just click on next. So, for the ad set name, I usually just put creatives because underneath this one ad set. And then I just put the countries I'm targeting. [17:04] So, US. And then I just put men because I'm only going to be targeting men because this is a product tailored for men. So, conversion location, website, maximum number of conversions. You want to make sure you choose your pixel. Make [17:16] sure your conversion event is on purchase. If you don't have a purchase, like you're not going to get as many results or something like that. Just You're fine. So, you want to go ahead and set your ads for the night before. [17:32] to do is I'm going to set this for midnight, okay? You want to have your ads running for an entire 24 hours. Now, for locations, I'm just going to keep it placements, I'm actually going to edit this. So, what I like to do is just [17:45] click on platforms. And then I always turn off Threads just because Threads is shopping on Threads. And then I just leave everything else the same. And I just let Facebook be able to decide where it wants to show my advertising. [17:59] click on next. Now, for the ads, I just named them ad one, ad two, ad three. Nothing crazy. Make sure you tie your Facebook page and your Instagram. Now, manual upload, single video. You want to make sure you turn off multi-advertiser [18:13] ads. Website URL, you're going to paste the URL of your product page, not your product page. And then for the ad creative, you're going to go ahead and set up your video ad. You want to make sure that everything here is off. Site [18:25] links, promotions, like all that, the catalog. You don't want any of this on. what you're going to do is you're going to go over to TikTok Shop because you need to get your video creatives, okay? So, this is my product here. So, you're [18:37] find the videos for this product. These are all the top videos for the specific to do is find three videos since you're only testing with $50 a day. Don't do any more than three videos, but don't do any less either. Now, you're probably [18:51] asking, "Well, should I be taking these videos 1:1?" No. But, what you're going Let's just say this was the video that you wanted to download. I would put it in a CapCut first and make some changes. Even if you just change the title and [19:03] just cut it up a bit. Some of these videos are dragged on forever and ever, okay? So, maybe just cut them up a bit. Sometimes I find it where it's like the hook at the beginning isn't that great, but maybe 5 to 10 seconds in the video, [19:17] video. So, I'll just cut that beginning portion. And then that'll be the new creative, okay? You have to remember you're just testing these products just for a few days to see if the product is actually going to be a winner, right? [19:31] winner, then you can go out and make custom content, get AI UGC, and put more completely fine. So, you're going to go ahead and choose your video, which I out your primary text, your headline, and your description. So, what I usually [19:46] just screenshot it. And then I come back to my Claude. And I just say something [clears throat] like, "I need Facebook ad headline, primary text, etc. My offer is buy two get one free plus free shipping." And as you can see, [20:01] can go through them. They also give you multiple headline options as well. So, deeper faith, they just can't find the time." Okay, cool. So, we'll just go with this one. Um so, I'll go ahead and copy this. This is going to be the [20:14] primary text. Headline, I'm going to copy this, and I'm going to go back to my ads and paste that here. Now, usually I like to do one or two different headline options, so that's exactly what we're going to do. The devotional built [20:26] for busy men of faith. Call to action, we're always going to do shop now. For the description, doesn't really matter, honestly, but I usually just put like my daily devotional, and then you can click next. [20:55] for the amount of ads that you have. So, just click on these three dots and click duplicate this for the amount of ads that you have. Obviously, you're going going to need two more copies into the original campaign, and then click [21:09] two more here that you're going to need to do. So, go ahead and click on the come up to ad creative, and the reason why we duplicated after we do all the settings is so we don't have to do all the work again. Everything is already in [21:21] nature. Okay, so now all you have to do is just swap out the media for each one want to do is just click on this remove media, then add media, add video. You're going to want to upload a brand new video, which I just did. Text and [21:35] everything will be the exact same. Um only thing that I always see is that the you can see, boom, got to make sure this is off, and I don't know why it does that, but you just got to make sure. Um and then go ahead and just click on [21:48] done. You also going to want to make sure you rename this to ad two. And then copy, which is the other one. Scroll down to ad creative, delete the media, you're done, you're going to go ahead and click on preview to publish, and [22:01] then publish. And just like that, congratulations, you have launched your started drop shipping. Unlike the other people who make excuses, you have taken I'm actually going to let these ads spin for a full 24 hours, and we're going to [22:15] going to analyze and tell you exactly what I would do moving forward. All morning, and we are going to go Come on. Come on. There we go. All right, so the ads. It looks like we did get an order, which is cool. So, we're going to [22:28] you exactly what I would do moving into day two, and just my entire thought process. All right, so let's go ahead and get into the data. So, what we're each and every single thing. I'm going to show you exactly the breakdown. So, [22:41] the ads been for about 24 hours. And as you can see, my entire budget wasn't really spent, okay? $39, $8. So, my whole $50 budget wasn't spent. That's because if you're just starting a brand new ad account, you're basically [22:55] So, sometimes you'll spend over, sometimes you'll spend under. In this case, we spent under. So, as you can see, since we're doing a CBO, Facebook chose which ad it felt was going to be the best, which was ad number three. As [23:08] you can see, we spent $39 of our $50 budget on this one ad. This ad got a dollar, this this ad got $8. And that's just the name of the game when it comes to CBO, okay? So, as you can see, we got four add to carts. None of these other [23:20] ones even got any data, this was our main winner. We got four add to carts, there's actual buying intent. If we can see that on the first day, that's get any sales on the first day, though. That doesn't mean that your product [23:32] isn't a winner. If you see buying intent, I would still push you to to test another day, okay? And typically, I'm not making any changes until 48 hours, okay? And so, this has only been one day. So, cost per add to [23:45] cart is very cheap, $9.82. That works. Cost per purchase is $39.30, purchase out of those four add to carts, okay? Again, do not take too much like [23:58] thought into one day of testing, okay? It's good that we got one sale, but just mean that this product again is not a winner. But as you can see, our purchase ROAS was 0.89, which is definitely not profitable. But again, we got a purchase [24:12] on day one, we had four add to carts, those could have converted, you know? It day of test is just not enough to put any thought really behind it because it that person, you know, converts, and maybe you got two sales instead of the [24:26] one. So, you kind of got to give it some time to optimize. So, if we keep going, our CPM was about 58 bucks, which is a little bit on the high side, but again, this is a brand new product, brand new pixel, so over time, Facebook's going to [24:38] get better in knowing exactly who your ideal customer is, and I believe the start to spend, especially if your ads are doing well. So, your CTR is paying attention to. So, your click-through rate is basically it Is [24:55] with the audience? Are people actually watching it through? So, really you want this around like 1.5% and above, which mine is at 1.64%, which is pretty decent. We got 11 clicks. Our cost per click was a little high. My camera cut [25:09] off, but my cost per click is $3.57. Pretty high, to be honest with you. Needs to be about a dollar or less, okay? So, that's not really that great. And then this one, I mean, obviously it shows $8 cost per click, but the ad only [25:23] can't put too much thought to that. My rule of thumb really is you want to at least spend to your break-even point, okay? For each ad. If it doesn't get a sale by your break-even point, then I would just cut it. And for those of you [25:37] margin. So, take the price of your product, whether it's $34.99, $29.99, and that's your break-even point. And this is where it gets really interesting, okay? We had 20 video plays at over 95%, so people were watching the [25:51] video, but we had four checkouts initiated, okay? So, four of those add checkout, they just didn't convert, which will make me honestly go through my checkout just to make sure everything is cohesive and everything makes sense. [26:05] In this case, I mean, obviously it's only four, but I would just make sure you go through your entire funnel in this situation and just say, "Okay, is congruent? Is there a high shipping fee? Did it say free shipping on the product [26:17] the back end?" Cuz that's usually what happens and why people bounce off. So, I would just double-check those things. And if all that's good and you're fine, then I would just let it spend another day, okay? Do not allow yourself to make [26:30] emotional decisions when it comes to drop shipping, when it comes to running ads. You need to use the data, okay? But when you only spend for one day, you can't expect the world. You have to let it spend for at least 48 hours before [26:43] guys. So, that's going to do it for the video. I hope you guys did enjoy and right there is how you're going to get started with drop shipping in 2026. Now, of stuff in this video. So, make sure if you forgot something, just go back to [26:56] the video, okay? We went over product research, suppliers, ads, AI, I mean, a lot of information here. So, you got to remember when it comes to drop shipping, so make sure you're always a student of the game. That's one of my biggest tips [27:10] for you. Always be constantly learning and evolving. And also another thing, act with speed, act with purpose, okay? As you start to test more and more, each learning lesson to help you with the next test, okay?
