[0:00] Everywhere I look right now, someone's
[0:01] claiming AI drop shipping is printing
[0:04] money. 500 a day, thousands a month,
[0:06] completely passive.
[0:08] >> able to make hundreds of thousands of
[0:09] dollars with AI.
[0:10] >> I've made millions of dollars with drop
[0:12] shipping.
[0:12] >> More high six figures.
[0:13] >> 1.1 million dollars in drop shipping.
[0:15] >> Hundreds of dollars a day from this side
[0:17] hustle.
[0:18] >> 500 dollars a day working from home.
[0:20] >> 600,000 dollars this month alone.
[0:23] >> was that easy, I mean, come on. Everyone
[0:25] would already be rich. Look, I've
[0:27] already made millions with e-com, but
[0:29] I've also watched thousands of people
[0:31] lose money chasing shiny objects and
[0:33] getting sold on get rich quick schemes.
[0:36] So, in this video, instead of just
[0:37] talking to you about AI drop shipping,
[0:40] let's actually take this money making
[0:42] scheme and put it to the test over the
[0:44] next 24 hours. But since I'm not a
[0:46] beginner myself, it's only fair if we
[0:48] put some rules or restrictions on me
[0:51] here. Rule number one, this whole thing
[0:53] has to cost me less than a hundred
[0:55] dollars in expenses. Rule two, the store
[0:57] has to be built in less than 60 minutes.
[1:00] And rule three, the only tools that I
[1:02] can use will be my laptop and iPhone.
[1:05] And no, I can't use any of my personal
[1:07] connections or anything like that
[1:08] either. So, if this doesn't work under
[1:10] those three rules, then I'll admit
[1:13] beginners should not be touching [music]
[1:14] this business model. All right, so the
[1:16] timer starts now, and we've got three
[1:18] main things to do here. Firstly, we have
[1:19] to set up our store, then we'll be
[1:21] selecting our product, and then creating
[1:23] and launching ads. I think that's pretty
[1:24] much it. Now, for the first step,
[1:26] creating the store itself, this is where
[1:28] AI should be saving us a boatload of
[1:30] time. And this tool right here will
[1:32] generate you a Shopify store structure
[1:34] fast. No inventory, no shipping
[1:36] headaches. When somebody places an
[1:38] order, your supplier will fulfill it
[1:40] automatically when you set up your
[1:42] [music] store using this tool. And the
[1:43] process is dead simple, and it's not
[1:45] going to cost us anything apart from one
[1:48] dollar a month to actually be on
[1:50] Shopify.
[1:50] >> [music]
[1:50] >> So, if you want to follow along, just
[1:52] head down to the description and click
[1:53] on the first link, which is going to be
[1:55] the free AI store builder link. So,
[1:57] it'll take you to this page that you see
[1:58] me on right now. And after running
[2:00] through a couple of quick questions here
[2:02] and just connecting a couple of things,
[2:03] we're pretty much done. Which is so
[2:05] crazy cuz back when I first started drop
[2:07] shipping, to get store templates like
[2:09] these, it would cost at least 300 bucks
[2:12] plus all the apps and features that it
[2:13] already includes would be easily another
[2:15] $200 cuz you have to buy them
[2:17] separately. But now it's all free and
[2:19] it's all combined in one tool that
[2:21] completely does everything for you. And
[2:23] it already comes pre-installed with Auto
[2:25] DS as your supplier. All right. So, the
[2:27] store we got here is also fully loaded
[2:29] with some pretty good products [music]
[2:30] and everything's technically ready to go
[2:32] live. But again, if it were that easy,
[2:34] then everyone would be rich, surely. So,
[2:37] let's at least spend a little bit of
[2:38] time selecting our own product that we
[2:40] want to use for this challenge. [music]
[2:42] Now, you see, most beginners select
[2:44] their products and niches based on what
[2:46] they think they would buy. And [music]
[2:48] that's how you lose money because think
[2:50] about it. Just because you are here
[2:52] binging how to make money online
[2:54] challenges on YouTube, it doesn't mean
[2:56] that the majority of people watching
[2:58] YouTube wouldn't prefer to go watch a
[3:00] Mr. Beast video instead. Now, the same
[3:02] rule applies for people who are buying
[3:03] products. You don't just choose your
[3:05] product only based on what you already
[3:08] like. Instead, [music]
[3:09] you need a product pick the product
[3:10] based on what's selling well right now.
[3:12] Mass demand, impulse buyers, and endless
[3:15] product [music] angles, that's the main
[3:17] criteria that I'm looking for. Now, in
[3:19] the past, my go-to method has been to
[3:21] jump on TikTok and just start scrolling
[3:23] until I find viral products. Then I
[3:25] would go and check the Meta Ads library,
[3:27] which is free online put out by
[3:29] Facebook. And it basically allows you to
[3:31] scroll tons of different high-performing
[3:33] ads from all the different companies
[3:34] that are advertising on Facebook. I
[3:36] would make sure that there's other
[3:37] competitors selling that product well,
[3:39] and I would get a ton of inspiration
[3:41] from the ads that they are running. And
[3:43] look, that method still works great, but
[3:44] given our serious self-imposed time
[3:46] limit here, we need something better,
[3:48] something faster. Now, I'm still
[3:50] building e-commerce brands to this day,
[3:52] so my team and I have come up with
[3:53] [music] a special product research
[3:55] prompt. And all you have to do is feed
[3:57] this prompt into Chat GPT or Claude. All
[4:00] right, so here's what the prompt looks
[4:01] [music] like just in case you wanted to
[4:03] see. But literally all you have to do is
[4:05] copy all of it and just go ahead and
[4:07] paste it into [music] Chat GPT. And
[4:09] after using this prompt myself, I
[4:11] eventually narrowed down my search
[4:12] [music] to this one product that I
[4:14] thought would be perfect product for
[4:16] this challenge. Just to read you the
[4:17] context quickly of what you're feeding
[4:19] to Chat GPT, we're basically saying,
[4:21] "Hey Chat GPT, you're building a drop
[4:23] shipping product research bot with one
[4:25] singular purpose. You need to identify
[4:27] winning products and provide compelling
[4:29] evidence for why they will make money.
[4:31] The bot must provide working Auto DS and
[4:33] AliExpress links to actual products, not
[4:36] just some generic search instructions or
[4:38] incorrect URLs. [music]
[4:39] Each product recommendation must
[4:41] demonstrate thorough market research
[4:43] including viral momentum, emotional
[4:45] appeal, trend data, pain points, and
[4:47] profit validation." It's really crazy
[4:49] how far AI has come today. Not only do
[4:51] we give it the context, we can give it
[4:53] its role and make sure it's stepping
[4:55] into the right personality to actually
[4:57] find these products. This prompt
[4:58] basically ensures that you're going to
[5:00] get the most high-quality
[5:01] >> [music]
[5:01] >> data-backed trending winning products
[5:03] off of Chat GPT than you'd be able to
[5:06] with any other simple prompt. All right,
[5:08] so I've decided to call this the Velixa
[5:10] neck and shoulder massager. I know, I
[5:12] probably could have been a little more
[5:13] creative with the name there, but I
[5:14] think it works and it fits with sort of
[5:16] the clean and minimalistic approach I
[5:18] took landing page. So we have a few
[5:21] super clean AI product images here, and
[5:24] as you guys can see, you want a couple
[5:25] nice close-up shots of the product
[5:27] itself. Before and afters for these
[5:29] types of products tend to work very well
[5:31] as well, and then just simply showing
[5:33] somebody happy and using the product
[5:35] while giving a few benefit-driven points
[5:38] is usually what I like to go for for
[5:39] clean and simple product images like
[5:41] these. Now you can see I've also done a
[5:42] little upsell here, so if you buy two,
[5:44] you end up saving a little bit more
[5:46] money, and you'd be surprised at how
[5:47] many people are doing this. If people
[5:49] find a great product that they want,
[5:50] chances are they're thinking about
[5:52] buying one for their friend or family
[5:53] member as well. And so, even just
[5:55] offering bundles with more quantities of
[5:58] the same product is a great place to
[6:00] start for increasing your average order
[6:02] value. And you can even do this off the
[6:04] rip very easily on any product test.
[6:06] Now, down here I have a couple of
[6:07] different trust badges, the
[6:09] specifications. We went with a 14-day
[6:11] money-back guarantee, basically ensuring
[6:13] that if you're not 100% satisfied, you
[6:15] can simply ask for a refund and we'll
[6:17] send you your money back. Now, in terms
[6:18] of shipping, we just tell people when
[6:20] they can expect their order, and this is
[6:21] pretty standard with AutoDS. AutoDS has
[6:24] some of the best shipping in the game,
[6:25] and even though we say our current
[6:27] shipping times are between 5 to 9
[6:28] business days, it usually gets there a
[6:30] lot faster. But, we do this
[6:32] strategically so that the customers can
[6:33] feel even better when they get their
[6:35] product faster than they were expecting.
[6:37] Now, for the rest of the product page,
[6:38] we just have a couple of GIFs of the
[6:40] product in action and people enjoying it
[6:42] and using it. Instead of giving people
[6:44] all the technical specifications, we
[6:46] like to tell them the end outcome or the
[6:48] result of what happens when they buy our
[6:50] product, such as making their body
[6:52] calmer. When you focus on the benefits
[6:54] or the outcome instead of just selling
[6:56] the features and the technicalities,
[6:58] this is what really drives people to
[7:00] actually make a purchase. And then
[7:02] finally, for the last section, we have a
[7:03] few different AI videos of testimonials
[7:06] from previous happy customers. And I
[7:08] know, these aren't real, of course, but
[7:10] hey, you got to start somewhere if
[7:12] you're a brand new business owner. And
[7:13] down here, we just have a few frequently
[7:15] asked questions. I figured this out by
[7:17] asking ChatGPT what customers would
[7:19] naturally ask next before buying a
[7:21] product like this, and then just
[7:23] ensuring that people have all the
[7:24] information they need before making the
[7:27] purchase. Now, here's the AliExpress
[7:28] listing for the product. As you can see,
[7:31] it's $35 Canadian, which is about $25
[7:34] USD, and I plan on selling this thing
[7:36] for $70 USD. So, that gives me a super
[7:39] nice, almost 3x margin. [music] And the
[7:41] great thing about this product as well
[7:43] is it has such a high perceived value
[7:45] because it is kind of a tech [music]
[7:47] product. You know, it has an electronic
[7:49] component, you have to charge it, and
[7:51] people really assume that these types of
[7:53] products [music] are worth hundreds of
[7:54] dollars or more. So, the perceived value
[7:57] on it is so much higher than the actual
[7:59] cost that we're charging. [music] On top
[8:00] of that, we can see the AliExpress
[8:02] listing has tons of great reviews from
[8:04] thousands of different [music] people
[8:06] and over 5,000 units sold.
[8:08] >> Perhaps the most beautiful thing about
[8:09] AI drop shipping is that once you know
[8:12] what your product is going to be, in
[8:13] literally one click, you can paste it
[8:15] into AutoDS and it will show up on your
[8:17] store ready to go. On top of that, you
[8:20] don't even need to manage the product
[8:21] yourself. Orders will be double-checked
[8:23] for quality, shipped out on time,
[8:25] tracking emails will be sent to new
[8:26] customers, all using AutoDS's new AI
[8:29] features. It's pretty much a cheat code
[8:31] for starting drop shipping today, and
[8:33] it's basically like having multiple
[8:34] employees all working on your business
[8:36] except this will literally only cost you
[8:38] $1 a month to get started. So, yeah,
[8:40] AutoDS has completely revolutionized the
[8:42] drop shipping game, and the best part is
[8:44] that when you use Build Your Store, all
[8:46] of this automatically gets connected
[8:47] [music] to your Shopify store anyway.
[8:49] But, I'll leave another link in the
[8:50] description just in case you ever need
[8:52] to reconnect it to AutoDS. Now comes the
[8:54] fun part. We need to get people to get
[8:57] onto [music] our store and buy our
[8:58] product. And the best and fastest way to
[9:00] do that is with paid [music] ads. Not
[9:02] any kind of paid ads though, but AI UGC
[9:05] ads. Now, if you're wondering what in
[9:06] the hell I just said, or if that was
[9:08] even still English, all I'm saying here
[9:09] is that AI can now create fake humans to
[9:13] advertise for us. And honestly, it's
[9:15] getting a bit out of hand, but hey, at
[9:16] least you and I can profit from it. All
[9:18] right, so what I'll do now is I'll grab
[9:19] content straight from AutoDS of the
[9:21] [music] product, and I'll also check
[9:23] some other royalty-free sites on the
[9:24] internet. And then I'll fire up Ark Ads
[9:26] to create my fake human [music] to say
[9:28] nice things about the product. I'll be
[9:30] linking Ark Ads in the description so
[9:31] you can check them out, too. Now,
[9:33] obviously, there'll be some level of
[9:34] manual work here. We'll add some b-roll
[9:36] clips, some music, [music] and overall
[9:38] make these ads look nice. And this is
[9:40] really easy to do nowadays. You can
[9:42] literally use CapCut on your iPhone and
[9:44] follow the basic instructions when you
[9:46] download the app to edit the video how
[9:48] you wish in just a few clicks. But, if
[9:50] you've seen any of my previous
[9:51] challenges, you guys would know I'm
[9:53] super lazy with this stuff, so I
[9:54] actually already got my influencer
[9:56] girlfriend working on these ads for me.
[9:58] Don't worry, if you don't have an
[9:59] influencer girlfriend yet, the blueprint
[10:01] [music] is actually quite simple. Just
[10:02] make millions drop shipping, and then
[10:04] just drop ship your girl friend from
[10:05] some exotic part of the planet. I'm
[10:07] completely kidding, by the way. So, here
[10:08] are some ads that we just cooked up. All
[10:10] right, so now all we have left to do is
[10:12] to go ahead and launch these ads on the
[10:14] most goated ad platform ever, our hero
[10:16] and savior, Facebook. [music] Because
[10:18] nothing ever goes wrong on Meta. Now,
[10:20] I'm going to have the screen recording
[10:22] of me setting up these ads rolling just
[10:24] in case you want to see the exact
[10:25] structure of what we're doing, but
[10:27] basically I'm keeping things super
[10:29] broad, and I'm leaving Meta's algorithm
[10:31] to do all the heavy lifting for us.
[10:33] [music] Anyone who tries to sell you on
[10:35] some fancy or flashy ad strategy is
[10:37] completely [music] capping because in
[10:39] today's day and age, this platform has
[10:41] generated an unfathomable amount of data
[10:44] on its users, which means that it can
[10:45] target your ideal customers a lot better
[10:48] than you think that you can. So, if you
[10:50] want to spend some time optimizing
[10:52] before launching, definitely don't spend
[10:54] your time in the ads manager trying to
[10:56] make the perfect [music] ad strategy.
[10:57] Instead, just focus on making your ads
[11:00] better. Put more thought into the
[11:02] editing [music] process behind the
[11:03] creatives. Put more thought into the
[11:05] clip selection. This is what's going to
[11:07] take you farther and make you more
[11:09] money, rather than thinking there's some
[11:11] magic ad strategy that will make you
[11:13] millions. Just like that, everything is
[11:15] set up and ready [music] to go live at
[11:16] midnight tonight. So, with all that
[11:18] being said, I will see you guys in 24
[11:20] hours, well, 23 hours from now for the
[11:23] results. All right, guys, it's the next
[11:24] day, and when I woke up this morning, I
[11:27] honestly wasn't too pleased because I
[11:30] didn't see any results, but then
[11:32] bang, we just got a sale 2 minutes ago.
[11:36] As you can see, $70. So, looks like a
[11:39] single order just rolled through, but
[11:40] hey, off to a good start and we have a
[11:42] few more hours left. So, hopefully we
[11:44] can get another one or two in the door
[11:45] before this challenge ends. Quick
[11:47] update, it turns out the last sale that
[11:49] we got was literally 20 minutes into the
[11:52] ads going live. Sometimes, guys, the ads
[11:54] are in review for a long time on
[11:56] Facebook before they finally go live.
[11:57] So, the good news was we literally spent
[11:59] $9 to acquire that customer and now we
[12:02] have a double order that just came
[12:04] through. Check this out, $118
[12:08] double order. I I was expecting a lot
[12:10] more struggle because I just did a 7-day
[12:12] challenge and it went horribly. So, I'm
[12:14] looking forward to more smooth sailing
[12:16] and when I go over the final results
[12:17] this time, hopefully we can prove that
[12:19] drop shipping is not dead and in fact
[12:22] now is literally the best time and the
[12:24] easiest time to start. Well, just like
[12:27] that, the challenge is officially over.
[12:30] But look, before I go over the results,
[12:31] listen, the money we made in this
[12:32] challenge, it won't knock your socks
[12:34] off. It's not exactly life-changing or
[12:36] anything, but man, it was fun and it
[12:38] takes me back to when everything first
[12:41] started for me with drop shipping. The
[12:43] only difference today is that with the
[12:44] AI tools that we have available, things
[12:47] are 10 times easier and you saw how
[12:49] quickly I set everything up. And [music]
[12:51] on top of that, the fact that we
[12:52] actually made money in less than 24
[12:55] hours should give you all the proof of
[12:57] concept that you need to get out there
[12:58] and at least try this for yourself. And
[13:00] I get it, this isn't exactly passive
[13:02] income, but it is leveraged income. You
[13:05] know, we set this up once [music] and
[13:07] the money rolled in while I was going
[13:08] about my day. And the AI tools that we
[13:10] used, you know, they don't replace doing
[13:13] the work [music] itself or even the
[13:14] thinking behind it, but they certainly
[13:16] help us get everything rolling way
[13:18] faster. So, with that being said, we
[13:20] brought in a grand total [music] of
[13:22] $188.98.
[13:24] We sold three units and for the [music]
[13:27] cost of the units plus shipping that's
[13:29] about $75. Now the fees and the
[13:31] subscriptions so the $1 a month for
[13:33] Shopify and AutoDS adds up to about $5
[13:36] and actually on the ads we only spent
[13:38] $57. So [music] we actually spent a
[13:41] little bit less than that $100 budget to
[13:43] even make these three sales. So all in
[13:45] all total revenue $189 total expenses
[13:49] $137.
[13:50] We actually came out in the green $52
[13:53] and I'd say that given the time that we
[13:55] had and the restrictions that I put on
[13:56] myself I'd consider this a success. Now
[13:59] if you guys want to see a part two where
[14:01] I scale this properly, you know, more
[14:02] time [music]
[14:03] more traffic, more testing, I'm happy to
[14:05] do it for you but only if you guys want
[14:08] to see reality, not hype. Because I can
[14:10] almost guarantee you that, you know,
[14:12] we're not going to make tens of
[14:14] thousands of dollars overnight and if I
[14:16] do this for a lot longer we will
[14:17] struggle. will go wrong but, you
[14:19] know, just maybe if we don't give up we
[14:21] can make [music] some money and some
[14:23] bigger money next time around. So Now I
[14:25] also said earlier in this video that if
[14:27] you made it to the end I'd give you a
[14:28] gift. So if you go to the description
[14:30] and you check the last link you'll see a
[14:32] resource pack including the winning
[14:33] product prompts, build your store,
[14:35] discount codes and everything else we
[14:37] used to make this challenge possible.
[14:39] And also if you happen to enjoy watching
[14:41] me struggle I did attempt another
[14:42] [music] 7-day AI dropshipping challenge
[14:44] that you can watch up here and with that
[14:46] being said I'll see you guys in the next
[14:48] video. [music] Peace.
