The creator shares his personal success story and explains the cash-on-delivery model, which is key to selling in emerging markets. He provides a step-by-step tutorial covering platform setup, product selection, and order management, emphasizing the advantages of selling in countries like Ecuador over more saturated markets. ### Key Points - **Success Story and Introduction** [00:01] — The creator shares that he built a company making over 2,000,000 euros a year using dropshipping, primarily selling in Ecuador, and bought his first property. He credits starting small and leveraging cash-on-delivery as key factors. - **Dropshipping in Latin America vs. Traditional** [01:07] — Dropshipping in Latin America is different from the traditional model from China. It uses local suppliers, resulting in much shorter delivery times (3-5 business days) and allows customers to pay upon delivery, which builds trust and reduces objections. - **Start Small with a Warehouse** [02:02] — Beginners should not invest heavily in unknown products. Instead, leverage a warehouse (like Dropy) that already has the product and handles logistics. You focus on selling, using images and product listings on your website or social media. - **Cash on Delivery as a Trust Builder** [03:06] — Offering cash on delivery is a powerful trust signal that overcomes customer objections about leaving information or distrusting online stores. This makes selling much easier, especially for new brands. - **How the Platform Works** [04:00] — When a customer places an order, the data is passed to the platform (Dropy). The supplier ships the product, the carrier collects payment on delivery, and the platform distributes the money: paying the supplier, the carrier, and your commission. - **Why Ecuador, Guatemala, or Mexico** [06:16] — These countries are emerging in cash-on-delivery, meaning less competition and longer product lifecycles. A product that lasts a month in Colombia can last 3-5 months in Ecuador. Additionally, stronger currencies (like the US dollar) increase profitability per sale. - **Profitability Example** [07:25] — Earning $5 per order in Ecuador vs. $3 in Colombia, with 1000 orders a month, results in $5,000 vs. $3,000. The creator has had products earning over $10 per sale in Ecuador. - **Earning a Living is Easy** [08:21] — To earn $1,000 a month (double the average salary), you need $34 per day. At $5 per sale, that's just 7 orders a day. The creator has scaled single products to 150-300 daily sales, making this goal easily achievable. - **Step 1: Register on Dropy** [09:20] — Register on the Dropy platform using the link in the description. You can register with any country's phone number, but ensure the country code is correct. Joining the creator's community via the link waives the 5% commission and allows shipping without a wallet balance. - **Step 2: Register on Shopify** [10:54] — Create a Shopify store using the provided link. The first three days are free, then you pay monthly. Crucially, select the country where you will sell (e.g., Ecuador) as your store's country, not where you live. - **Step 3: Find a Winning Product** [12:30] — Use the Facebook Ad Library to find products that are performing well in more developed countries (e.g., Colombia, Mexico, Spain, USA) and bring them to your target market. This is the 'conquest' strategy. - **Search and Filter Ads** [13:39] — Search for keywords like 'offer' or 'pay on delivery' (avoid 'free shipping' as it's too common). Set the filter to show ads from the past week and sort by 'most recent' to find products that are currently working, not saturated ones. - **Inspect the Product Page** [15:27] — When you find a promising ad, click through to the product page. Use 'inspect' and mobile view to see the page. Then search for the same product on Dropy, filtering by lowest price to find a viable supplier. - **Step 4: Create a Sales Page** [16:49] — Develop a landing page for the product on your Shopify store, similar to the one you found. The creator has a separate video tutorial on how to create effective landing pages. - **Step 5: Advertise** [17:56] — Run ads on TikTok Ads (recommended) or Meta Ads. The creator provides a link for up to $6,000 in advertising credit. If orders don't come, repeat the process and develop your skills; the market rewards those who do things well. - **Step 6: Follow Up on Orders** [19:34] — Since it's cash on delivery, you must confirm each order. Go to Dropy, find the order, contact the customer to confirm their address and phone number, and use Dropy's digital footprint feature to assess delivery reliability. Then confirm the order to trigger shipping. ### Conclusion The video concludes by emphasizing that not all orders will be delivered, and this must be factored into pricing. The creator encourages persistence and consistency, stating that the business has changed his life and can change yours too. He also hints at a future course on using AI to run the business in under 2 hours a day. ## Transcript Ecuador with cash on delivery in just five steps, even if you have no beginner. Thanks to this room, to sleeping on an inflatable mattress, and today, together with my girlfriend, I have built a company that already makes more than 2,000,000 euros a year. We bought our first property and started building our brand that we will take to a billion dollars. And all this has been thanks to starting dropshipping, and we are mainly selling in Ecuador. Our entire company revolves around this country. And how could I not be grateful to God for all these blessings? So the last thing I can do is share the free through this channel so can also learn. And what fulfills me most in the end is receiving comments like this one or this one you're seeing here. And I also want to take this opportunity to thank you videos for your support. And well, let 's begin. And first it is very important that we understand what dropshipping is in Latin America, since most people tend to think that it is the same dropshipping that has been known all along, that it is done from China and the shipping times are super long. It does completely different and I'm going to explain it to you very simply. It's also important to know that you can implement this model even if you don't live in the country where you want to sell, for example. And this gives you many advantages because you can leverage stronger currencies. For example, we are almost reaching $3,000 in sales in Ecuador alone, and we live in Colombia. In fact, we've already been number one in sales in Ecuador and we're not even living in that country. We know many people who are from Uruguay, are from Paraguay, and sell in Ecuador. Uh, there are also people who live in Colombia and sell in Guatemala, which is an excellent country to sell in, or in Mexico too, which, by the way, is working very well for live in that country, you can still implement this same model. Now, let's suppose that this person here is you and you want to start selling products online. So, the best thing to do at the beginning, when you're learning, is not to invest a large amount, especially in a product that you don't know if it will sell well or not, because you don't yet have the skills to know how to sell that product, nor do you even know if the product sells well, if there is demand for it. So, the right thing to do would be to start small, as with everything, as with all businesses. So, what you're going to do is leverage a warehouse that already has the product, has already made the investment, and that warehouse is going to provide you with the product so that you can sell it. So, you take images of the product and publish them on your website or on some sales channel or even on WhatsApp, on your Instagram account, on your Facebook account, you upload stories. There are many ways you can showcase that product to people. So, you show that product and people who are interested will come and leave their information so you can ship the product to them. What generates the sale is the trust you convey to people by allowing them to pay upon receipt, since this was not normally done. What usually happens is that people enter the website, leave their information, make the payment, and then you ship the product to them, but they have already paid. So, by giving them the option to pay for the product when it objections that most customers have who don't want to leave their information or don't trust some stores. Then, it becomes much easier to sell. Even now that we're launching our first brands, we 've realized that when you're going to launch a brand, the best thing you can do is start with cash on delivery to position it, since this will allow you to invest much more money in advertising, make it easier for people to get to know your product, faster, and then when the brand is positioned, you can start charging in advance. Then, people leave their information with you and you ship the product to them. Well, you don't dispatch them, you put that data that the person left you into the platform. Well, everything is automatic. This data is passed to the platform, and the supplier sees the data and ships the product to the customer. So, the carrier picks it up, takes it to the customer, the customer pays, and the carrier goes and delivers the money to the platform, which in this case we use Dropy, but there are many other function. We use Dropy because it works best for us. But there are many other platforms. There are also other people who tell me as if I worked for Dropy, asking why I promote Dropy, saying that Dropy is bad. Well, no, I actually recommend what I use, and this platform is the one I recommend it, but I don't work for Dropy, I'm not associated with them or anything like that. So, Dropy receives the money and pays you your commission, pays the carrier for the freight, and pays the supplier the value of the product. That's how it would work; this supplier here wouldn't be Chinese, it would be a local supplier. Dropy works with local suppliers. What does it mean? that delivery times to the end customer will be much shorter because the supplier is often already in the same city or at least in the same country . Therefore, delivery times are much shorter than with traditional dropshipping, where shipments are made directly from China. So the customer wins because they can pay upon delivery and have that confidence, and because the product will arrive in three to five business days, unlike other models where the shipping time is much longer, and you also win because you receive a commission for each sale. Now, ideally, own merchandise later on, so you don't depend on a third party, but you'll only do this when you've mastered the skills, know how to find products, know how to sell them, know how to scale them, and know how to manage logistics, because this also needs to be learned. So, to begin with, this is the best way: using a winery or supplier that has already made the investment for you, and you simply focus on selling, becoming a sales expert. And why do I recommend starting in countries like Ecuador, Guatemala, or Mexico, which are emerging in cash- on-delivery payments? Even though Mexico may be advanced in prepayment, cash-on-delivery payments are just starting in these countries, and I mainly recommend it for two reasons. The first and biggest problem is competition, because in countries like Colombia, where cash payments are much more advanced, it becomes much harder to sell, and the products also last less time. When a product lasts you a month in Colombia, in Ecuador, Mexico, or other countries that are just starting out, it can last you 3, 4 , or 5 months with the same effort you put into it in Colombia. And the second reason is because of the currency, because we have currencies that are much stronger than, for example, ours in Colombia, which are the Colombian pesos. Or if you're in Argentina or Uruguay or Paraguay, weaker than the dollar. In other words, they're not bad, but the dollar is much stronger. So, of course, this allows you to be much more profitable with each sale. Let's say that in Colombia you are earning 3 on each order and you sell 1000 orders in a month, then you would have $3,000 a month. Whereas in Ecuador, if you only earn $2 more per order, then multiply $5 per order by 1000, that's $5,000 per month. It's almost double that of Ecuador. Even we in Ecuador have had products that we earn more than $10 per sale. Besides, these countries are just starting to become trendy, and we can arrive, take advantage, capitalize, and when the country has already reached its peak or when it is more advanced or saturated, as call it, although this business will never be saturated for me, but let's say when it is more advanced, you will have already built your company, you will have built your brands and you will have already capitalized a lot. And I'm also going to show you why making a living from this business is actually very easy. For example, in Latin America an average salary is between 500 and 600 because the minimum wage is more or less $450. Now, if you want to earn double that amount, which is enough to live well, let's divide those $1,000 by 30 days, which means we would have to earn $34 per day. If we earn $5 on each sale, dividing earn $5 on each sale, dividing those $34 by $5 per sale, we find that we would need to have seven orders per day. And you can easily achieve these seven orders with just one product. We have had products that have sold up to 150 sales per day. Only in Ecuador; in Colombia, you can scale a single product to 300 daily sales, or even more than that. So how can you not reach seven sales a day with one product? Anyone can do this. Okay, enough talk, but how can I get started from today? The first thing you're going to do is register on the platform where we're going to find our suppliers, which in this case would be Dropy. Below in the description of this video, I'm going to leave you the link to our community for the country in which you want to start selling. If you want to support us, then go to the description and there you'll find information on how to So, you open this link, simply click on it and that's it, it will send you there. And when you're here, you're going to put your name, your last name, and your cell phone number. For example, if you are in Venezuela and want to sell in Ecuador, you just put your Venezuelan number, no problem. So Ecuador, just put your Uruguayan number, no problem. Obviously, make sure you check your country code. So, for example, I'm in Colombia, so I'm going to leave this here and put my cell phone number here. Here you will enter your email, your password, your password again, you will receive a verification code and you will be registered. And once you're registered, the first thing you should see is our magnates community, and there you can be sure you're supporting us. Plus, you won't be charged the 5% commission that Dropy charges, and you'll be able to ship orders without having a balance in your wallet. In addition to that, we will be sending different benefits to all members of our community via the email address they have registered with our community. And then, when you go to the products section, the catalog, here you will find all the products that you can sell through your website, through WhatsApp, or by offering them but here are all the products you can start selling. Now we're going to register on Shopify to create our website. The first three days will be free, and then you will only pay per month for the next three months. So, the same. We're going to go to the link you'll video, we're going to open it and when we're here we're going to click on "start for information, it will ask for either your WhatsApp number or your email address. So, you put it here. And something very important you have to do when you start is select your country here, because if you don't select, that is, the country your store, for example, if it is for countries, you select Ecuador, even if you are in Colombia, in Venezuela, in you select the country where you are going to sell. So, in this case it would be to sell in Ecuador, for example, where is Ecuador? Ecuador. Ecuador. email address and click continue. And after that, I think it will simply send you a confirmation and you will be registered. And if you want to learn how to create your store and what steps follow after this, here I'll be leaving you my free course where you can learn all this step by step. It's a 4-hour super keto course. Many people are already seeing results with this course, so I highly recommend it; I'll registered on Dropy, you've already registered on Shopify, where you're going to create your store, and now we're going to find your first winning product, that product that you're going to publish in that store that will lead to thousands of monthly orders. To do this, we're going to open a new tab and select "ad library". find products, but this is the one I most recommend when you're starting out. Let's click here and this is where all the ads being scheduled worldwide are gathered. I don't know if absolutely all of them, but certainly 95-99% of the ads. The idea behind this is to find products that are working well for other companies in other parts of the world and bring them to our target market. That is our strategy called conquest. So if we're going to sell in countries like Ecuador, we can look at more developed countries, such as Colombia, Mexico, Spain, even the United States or any country on the European continent, such as France, or we could also look at Germany or Canada. Well, there are many countries, almost all of them are more advanced than Ecuador, so this opens up a multitude of possibilities for us. Let's initially search in Colombia. To make it easier, I'm going to list all the ads and we're going to put keywords related to the sale of physical products in the search bar. So, the most common one is free shipping, but I don't recommend searching with this keyword, because everyone searches with this word. So, look for words related to selling products, but not necessarily free shipping. You can search for, for example, pay on delivery, which is also very common. You can search for, for example, "offer". So, let's look, for example, at the word offer. And here we're going to put filters. Let's go back up to here we're going to put filters. Let's go back up to a week. So, to set it to show me ads until June 1st. And what this will do is guarantee that all the ads I'm going to see are from companies that have been running them for a while, and if they've been running for a while, it means that these companies are getting paid. I'm going important we have to do is sort by most recent here, because if we leave it on default, the library will show us the ads with the most impressions, but these aren't necessarily the ones that will work best for us, because these ads may have been active for a long time and if we launch those products, they simply won't work for us because the store that launched them is already more optimized and has already captured a large part of our market. So, there's no point in launching next videos will be 100% focused make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any. Now what we're going to do is scroll until we find ads for physical products that we can sell. For example, from experience I'm already seeing an advertisement here for a product that I know I can sell. I'm going to click here on "buy" or I'll just click on the link. It's already sending me to a to do? You're going to right-click and select " inspect". Let's get the mobile view. Now it's showing us the page that's selling this product. This is a high-pressure nozzle for hoses, or we're going to do is look for this product on Dropy. So, once we're on the some keywords related to that product, for example, Nozzle or however you know that product is searched for in your country. It's possible that in your country they don't call it that, but something else. Here we already have some products appearing. For example, look, this one says it's sold out. This one also says it's sold out. This one has 31. But when this happens it's because the supplier sold the stock and sets this price to ship it directly to the person who bought it, but it doesn't mean that they are giving it to us at this price. If we start selling the product at this price, it's possible that the and we'll be left with those sales. So, what do I recommend to you? that you filter, for example, by lowest price or that you put, for example, the the latest that has arrived from the suppliers. For example, look, if we set a lower price, let's see. Look, this one has 119 units. In fact, we So, we already have a product here that we could potentially launch. Okay , that's it. The next step would be to develop a sales page for this product on our website. A page very similar to the one we are where I teach how to create these types of pages. Look for it on my channel; if I ca n't pin it here, just look for it. It's called how to make a landing page and here I'll show you how to make all these types of pages. And also remember learning curve by working hand in hand with us, in the description of this video you will find the link to our WhatsApp so we can chat. what we've done so far, we have our Dropy account, where we find our suppliers and where we're going to do all the logistics. We have our account on Shopify, where we are going to create our store and the page for this product that we just found. We found this product and we're going to create a page for it, which you already know how to do by clicking on the video I've left above or by searching on my channel for how to make a landing page. We already have and when you have the sales page ready for your product, you're going to advertise that page. You can do it in Metaads or TikTok Ads or both if you have the budget. What do I recommend? Do it on TikTok Ads, which is the platform that's working best for us right now. To create your account on TikTok Ads, the same applies. In the description of this video you will find a link where you can get up to $6,000 in advertising credit if you meet certain conditions. Let's click on this link and once it loads, this tab will appear. Here we see the credit that they could potentially give us. And if we scroll down here, we'll be able to enter our email address and password. You simply enter this information and click on register. And if you want to delve deeper into this, I also have other videos on my channel where I teach how to do it in more detail. In my free course I also teach how to do this step by step, and with this we would already have step number five. With this, we would launch the advertising on the page we just created. And if you've done things right up to this point, you've done things right up to this point, . And if those orders aren't coming through, it's because you haven't done something working, it means you need to develop the skill, because the market will always reward people who do things well and know how to do them . So if you're not getting the results you expect, you have to repeat the process as many times as necessary until you get past that learning curve. But believe me, it's going to be 100% worth it. This business has changed my life. It's been changed for hundreds of people, so why ca n't it be changed for you? You have to persevere, you have to be consistent and sooner or later you will achieve it. If you persevere, there's no way you won't succeed. And now the fifth step, which is when you're already making sales, we're going to follow up to ensure they're remember, we're working with cash on delivery, those orders haven't been if you hadn't made the sale. Until received your money and you can't celebrate yet . So the fifth step is to follow up on those orders. You're going to go to Dropy, you're going to go to my orders and once you're there you'll find all the orders you have and you'll find the customer's name, address and cell phone number. You will contact the customer and confirm the order, but not the order itself . He already made a purchase. What you're going to confirm is their information. So you're going to confirm that this person has placed the order with you and you're going to confirm that you have all their address details and their cell phone number correctly. Okay, you're going to do that with all the orders and once they're confirmed you're going to click this button to confirm orders. You'll also use this option that Dropy now gives us, which is the digital footprint of people, of customers, and you can see how effective these people are at deliveries . There are people who are very inefficient, so we are a little stricter when it comes to shipping them. So you'll also validate that before confirming an order. And once you have validated this data, you will confirm it. You're going to click here on confirm and the supplier will immediately see the order to ship it. So, once you confirm it, the supplier will generate the guide for you, and you send that guide number, which will appear right here, to the customer. You do this with all incoming orders, ensuring that becomes a sale, and therefore money in your pocket. Now it's very important that you understand something clearly: not all orders will be delivered, and we factor that into our price calculator. I teach you all this in much more detail in my free 4- hour course. Here I show you how to calculate the price of your products. I'll teach you absolutely everything you need to know to be profitable in this business and to start making money. And with that, we conclude this video. I'm also thinking of uploading a complete course of 15 or 20 chapters teaching how to do this business model in less than 2 hours a day using artificial intelligence. So if I see support, I'll be uploading it. Leave the word "course" in the comments below and I'll gladly upload it. In short, remember to talk less upload it. In short, remember to talk less and do more. See you. M.
