[0:00] People are using AI to
make thousands of dollars
[0:02] in passive income by drop
shipping products online.
[0:05] - Made millions of dollars
with drop shipping.
[0:07] - Drop shipping stores
to $100,000 in a week
[0:09] - [Influencer] 1.6, almost
$1.7 million in sales.
[0:12] - How you can make $3,000 online right-
[0:15] - But is this as easy as it seems?
[0:18] Well, as a businessman
who made his millions
[0:20] the traditional way, I'm
giving myself seven days
[0:23] to find out if this new
strategy actually works.
[0:27] Oh, blimey, there it goes.
[0:29] Don't think we can be selling that.
[0:31] I'll be using AI to find
a niche, design the brand,
[0:34] build the store, find the
products, and create the ads.
[0:38] And if I don't make $1,000
within that timeframe,
[0:42] then I'm giving someone in the comments
[0:43] $1,000 of my own money.
[0:45] But there are three rules
that I have to follow.
[0:48] Rule number one is that AI
[0:50] has to make every business decision.
[0:52] Rule number two is I'm
limited to a $250 budget,
[0:56] and most of that has
to go towards the ads.
[0:59] Which means every tool
I use has to be free
[1:01] or as close to free as I can get it.
[1:03] And rule number three, I
must show you everything,
[1:06] step by step, including the raw results.
[1:10] Okay, start the countdown.
[1:12] (clock ticking)
[1:14] The biggest mistake people make
[1:15] when trying to make money online
[1:17] is not focusing on a specific area.
[1:20] Even Amazon started
off just selling books.
[1:22] That's why the first
thing on our checklist
[1:24] is to find a profitable niche.
[1:27] I'm gonna use the dummy
scroll method to do this.
[1:29] This is when you scroll
through Instagram reels
[1:32] on a fresh account and engage
[1:34] with every drop shipping ad you see.
[1:36] After this, we should have
a solid list of products
[1:38] that people are actually
spending money on right now.
[1:41] And from that finding a niche
[1:43] will hopefully become pretty easy.
[1:45] (upbeat music)
[1:52] Check this product out.
It's a dog paw cleaner.
[1:55] It's a pretty good idea and
it's got a ton of engagement.
[1:59] (upbeat music)
[2:12] (clock ticking)
[2:15] Right, so I've been scrolling
for about an hour or so now,
[2:18] and I've got this huge list.
[2:20] As we're under a time crunch,
[2:22] I'm gonna feed this big list into ChatGPT
[2:25] and ask it to pick a niche.
[2:27] Okay, so that's a pretty
clear answer. Pets it is.
[2:31] So let's tick that one off the list.
[2:33] Next up, we need to
let AI build our store.
[2:37] Believe it or not, a couple of years ago,
[2:39] building a professional Shopify store
[2:41] would've cost thousands and
take days of trial and error.
[2:45] But now it's easier and
cheaper than ever with AI.
[2:48] So let's head over to an AI
tool called Build Your Store.
[2:52] I've used this before and
it's the only tool I found
[2:55] that's able to build a Shopify store
[2:57] that lets us sell other people's products
[3:00] without needing our own inventory
[3:01] or doing any of the hard work ourselves.
[3:03] The idea is when your
store receives an order,
[3:06] the product is shipped
directly to your customer,
[3:09] which allows us to make a profit
[3:11] without any more work on our end.
[3:13] If you wanna follow along,
feel free to head down
[3:15] to the description of this
video and click the top link.
[3:17] I'm gonna be explaining
everything I'm doing step by step,
[3:21] so it's very easy
[3:22] for you to build your
own AI Shopify store too.
[3:25] Okay, so first things first.
[3:27] I'm gonna click this button here
[3:29] that says "Build my free store."
[3:31] And now it takes me to this page
[3:33] where there asking for my full name,
[3:35] which of course is Mark Tilbury.
[3:38] Also, it needs an email address.
[3:43] And to pick a password as well.
[3:47] Right, so all that's done.
[3:49] Now it wants me to select our niche.
[3:51] Of course we're gonna pick pets.
[3:53] If you're following along,
[3:54] then don't feel like you
have to go with pets.
[3:56] That's just what my research suggested
[3:59] was performing well at the moment.
[4:00] So let's press done.
[4:03] Now we need to pick two store banners.
[4:06] This is important as it
sets the vibe of the store.
[4:09] Now here, the first image
looks a bit cheesy to me,
[4:12] so let's skip that one.
[4:14] The next one, now that's not too bad,
[4:16] but there are a lot of pet items there,
[4:18] and to be honest, my store
might not actually sell those,
[4:21] so it's probably best not to use that one.
[4:23] This next one is perfect.
[4:25] Look, it's nice and clean and
it has both dogs and cats,
[4:28] which expands our potential market
[4:30] and also our product option.
[4:33] These bottom ones just look way too busy
[4:35] and not enough focus on the animals.
[4:38] So that leaves this one
here. That's nice and cute.
[4:41] So I definitely think
it's the right choice
[4:43] for my second banner.
[4:44] So now those have selected,
let's go and click done.
[4:49] (clock ticking)
[4:51] Now it is time to create
our Shopify account.
[4:53] So all we've gotta do
is click access Shopify.
[4:57] It's now given me an offer
to try Shopify for free
[5:00] for three days, and then just
$1 a month for three months.
[5:04] But just a heads up, they have been known
[5:06] to change this offer quite regularly.
[5:08] So if you're following
along and it's different,
[5:10] then don't worry,
[5:11] they can't offer something
like this forever.
[5:13] Now it wants me to enter an email address,
[5:15] so I'm gonna use the same one I used
[5:17] for the Build Your Store tool,
[5:19] just so everything is in one place
[5:22] and can easily be linked up.
[5:23] And then press Create Account.
[5:26] Now it's asking me to put
our payment details in,
[5:29] but for now, let's press skip
[5:32] as we can come back to that later.
[5:33] Okay, now it's asking where
would we like to sell,
[5:36] but we don't need any of this
[5:38] because we're getting AI
to build the store for us.
[5:40] So we're just gonna click here
[5:42] where it says, skip customize setup.
[5:44] Right, let's keep this open,
[5:46] but head back to the Build Your Store tab.
[5:48] And as we've done the Shopify
step, we can click done.
[5:52] Now it's asking to link the Shopify store
[5:55] so that it can start
doing all the work for us.
[5:57] So let's jump back to the Shopify tab
[6:00] and copy this URL here
on the main admin page
[6:04] and paste it into here and
click save and then done.
[6:09] Okay, so now it's time to
get that Shopify discount.
[6:13] So we're gonna click on Access Shopify,
[6:16] and that will take us
directly to the plans
[6:18] and subscription page.
[6:20] Then I'll quickly add my payment details
[6:22] and we're doing this so they're ready
[6:23] for when the trial ends,
but don't worry right now
[6:26] because it's completely
free and after the trial,
[6:29] it's just one pound or $1 per month
[6:31] for the first three months.
[6:33] So now that's all filled out,
I'm gonna click subscribe.
[6:36] And there we go. That's all set up.
[6:38] So let's head back to Build
Your Store and click done.
[6:41] Now we need to install this app.
[6:43] It will allow us to automatically
send products to customers
[6:46] without doing anything ourselves.
[6:48] So we're gonna go ahead and
click where it says Install app.
[6:52] It's now showing us the Shopify dashboard.
[6:55] So let's click install
[6:56] and it will install it directly
into our Shopify store.
[6:59] Next, we need to pick the store type.
[7:02] Now as I don't wanna
spend any of my budget,
[7:04] I'm just gonna go with the free store
[7:06] and click continue with basic store.
[7:09] Then I'm gonna click
skip, and then no thanks,
[7:12] I'll launch without the Pro Store.
[7:14] This is just trying to upsell us,
[7:15] but we don't need to
be spending any money.
[7:18] Now we're gonna click here where
it says, customize my store
[7:21] and the AI will get to work
building the store for us.
[7:25] So we can tick that one
off the list for sure,
[7:28] and we'll check the results
later to see what it's created.
[7:31] But for now, let's keep
things moving forward
[7:33] and jump to the next step.
[7:35] (clock ticking)
[7:37] Right, the next thing
on my list is to use AI
[7:40] to find some winning
products for our store.
[7:42] I feel like a lot of
people don't understand
[7:44] how important this step is.
[7:47] The right products are the
difference between a store
[7:49] that prints money and
one that gets ignored.
[7:51] To make this as easy and
efficient as possible,
[7:54] we're gonna register for Auto Ds.
[7:56] So let's head back to Build Your Store
[7:58] and hit install Auto DS.
[8:01] This AI tool does a heavy lifting for us
[8:03] by selecting products
that are proven to sell.
[8:06] It also takes care of pricing,
[8:08] uploading professional photos,
[8:10] and once we start making sales,
[8:12] it'll also ship the products
directly to our customers.
[8:15] It's gonna ask us again to sign in.
[8:17] Next, it wants to know
where we're selling,
[8:20] which is obviously Shopify.
[8:22] Now we need to pick a plan.
[8:23] Every plan comes with the first three days
[8:26] for just 99 cents, which gives
us a chance to actually test
[8:29] before committing to anything.
[8:31] The basic plan, to be honest,
[8:33] is a bit too stripped
back for what we need.
[8:35] And the advanced plan, well,
[8:37] that's just overkill at this stage.
[8:39] So the Starter 500 sits
right in that sweet spot
[8:43] so that's what we're gonna go with.
[8:45] Let's click start now for 99 cents
[8:47] and choose our payment method.
[8:49] I'm gonna go with PayPal
as it's quick and easy,
[8:52] and there we go.
[8:53] So far, the most we've spent
is 99 cents. Not bad going.
[8:58] If we head over to the Auto DS dashboard
[9:01] and click on products, then we get a list
[9:03] of all the products
[9:04] that have been automatically
added to our store.
[9:07] We've got 10 here, including a cat tree,
[9:11] a dog drinking bowl,
[9:12] and even the dog pool cleaner
I saw on Instagram earlier.
[9:15] As you can see, the prices
have already been set
[9:18] automatically to give room for profit.
[9:21] Some of them range in
price like this one here,
[9:24] because the item comes
[9:25] in various different sizes and colors.
[9:27] Let's add some more winning products.
[9:29] So let's click here on marketplace
[9:32] and click Trending products.
[9:35] This area uses AI to identify products
[9:37] that are selling really well
for other drop shippers.
[9:40] There are other ways to find
winning products in Auto DS,
[9:43] like the handpicked product
section and the Ads Spy.
[9:46] However, as we're using AI in this video,
[9:49] I'm gonna stick with
the trending products.
[9:52] We have all these filters
[9:53] that let us narrow down our search,
[9:55] but I'm not gonna use
any of these for now.
[9:58] All I'm gonna do is
click on the pet's icon.
[10:01] Here we can see all of the pet products
[10:03] so we can start adding them to our store.
[10:05] Personally, I don't wanna sell pet food,
[10:08] so I'm gonna stay away from that.
[10:09] I can imagine there
being a ton of problems
[10:11] with drop shipping, these
types of perishable products.
[10:14] This interactive toy looks fun.
[10:16] So let's click on it
to get some more info.
[10:19] So we can see how many of these were sold,
[10:22] the profit, interaction rate, reviews,
[10:26] and the sell price.
[10:28] We can see the countries
[10:29] it's being sold in the most just here.
[10:32] And this one's been
selling very well in Spain.
[10:35] Here's the sales chart.
[10:36] Now, as we can see from August,
[10:38] this product's been doing pretty well.
[10:40] Actually, it's gone a bit viral.
[10:43] There's even an example
of a social media ad
[10:45] that someone has made using the product
[10:47] to add this product to our store.
[10:49] All we need to do is click import draft.
[10:52] Now it's being moved to our drafts
[10:53] where we can optimize it
further before adding it.
[10:56] If you wanna save time,
you don't actually have
[10:59] to go into the product page,
[11:00] you can just hover over
one like this cat tunnel
[11:04] and click Import Draft.
[11:06] I'm gonna go ahead and add some
more products that look cool
[11:09] and we'll pick up after
I've looked through
[11:11] all of these pages.
[11:12] (upbeat music)
[11:19] (clock ticking)
[11:21] Okay, now I've added a bunch.
Let's look through the drafts.
[11:24] As you can see, these titles
don't look very appealing.
[11:27] This one has New Year 2026 in the title,
[11:30] which has absolutely nothing to do
[11:32] with the product we're selling.
[11:34] So before we add them to our store,
[11:36] we need to optimize the
titles and the descriptions.
[11:40] I mean, check out this description.
[11:42] It's just copied and
pasted from the supplier
[11:44] and doesn't look great at all,
[11:46] but I don't wanna do this manually
[11:47] as it'll take way too long.
[11:49] So let's use the optimized
title with AI option.
[11:53] We don't need to use the
enhance with AI button
[11:56] as this will create a full product page
[11:58] and Build Your Store has
already done this for us.
[12:01] So let's just optimize
the title and description.
[12:04] We can use the dropdown
menu to adjust the tone
[12:07] and temperature.
[12:09] I'm just gonna keep it
on a professional tone
[12:11] and a balanced temperature.
[12:13] As you can see,
[12:14] it's removed that 2026
mentioned in the title,
[12:17] and now it actually makes sense
[12:19] and we've got a professional
description too.
[12:21] We could optimize this further.
[12:23] But as this video is all about using AI,
[12:26] let's leave it there for now
and click save and import.
[12:30] Now this will move from drafts
to products. There we go.
[12:34] It's been imported,
[12:35] and as you can see, it's now
at the top of my products.
[12:38] If I wanna check this out on my store,
[12:40] all I have to do is
click here on the Sell ID
[12:43] and it will open up my product page.
[12:45] So you can see we have the
optimized title, clean Images,
[12:50] bundled pricing, shipping time estimates,
[12:53] and the reviews are
specific to the product.
[12:55] So it only takes a couple of minutes
[12:57] to find a product with AI,
[12:59] optimize the title and description,
[13:01] and add it right to the store.
[13:03] So let's tick winning
products off our list.
[13:06] Now I know I've got all
these drafts to go through,
[13:09] but to save time, let's
use the bulk edit feature.
[13:12] So I'm gonna click here
to select all 15 drafts
[13:17] and click here where it
says Bulk AI rewrite.
[13:21] We're gonna go ahead with
title and description again,
[13:24] and now it's doing it
for all those products,
[13:26] rather than having to do it one by one.
[13:29] While it's doing all of this.
[13:30] Let's move on to the
next item on our list,
[13:33] using AI to build the brand.
[13:35] (clock ticking)
[13:38] Customers decide whether to trust a store
[13:40] in about three seconds,
[13:41] and right now, ours
isn't passing the test.
[13:44] That's why we need to use
AI to build the brand.
[13:47] So I'm gonna head back to Build
Your Store and click Done.
[13:51] We don't need to do this part right now,
[13:53] so we're gonna just skip it
[13:54] by clicking on generate my first video.
[13:57] Then just go back to Build Your Store.
[14:00] I'll keep that tab open,
[14:02] as we'll be making video
content a bit later on.
[14:05] Now it's given us the option
[14:06] to secure a free .store domain name.
[14:09] This is just like a.com name,
[14:10] but it's specifically
made for online stores.
[14:13] This is something we
definitely want to get
[14:15] as websites on .store
domains get more clicks,
[14:18] which of course means more sales.
[14:20] When you think about it, this makes sense
[14:22] because when someone sees a .store domain,
[14:25] they know right away they're
visiting an online store.
[14:28] I guess that's why some
of the biggest brands
[14:30] and celebrities like
MrBeast, Speed, Lando Norris,
[14:34] and Emirates Airlines
are using .store domains.
[14:37] So let's go ahead and secure, I dunno,
[14:40] maybe HappyPaws.store.
[14:44] Oh no, this one is already taken.
[14:47] It shows how popular these
names are with online stores.
[14:51] No worries, let's go over to ChatGPT
[14:54] and get some other ideas.
[14:56] I'm just gonna ask it to
generate .store domain names
[15:00] for my new Shopify
store in the pets niche.
[15:05] I wanted something along the
lines of happypaws.store,
[15:10] but the name is already taken.
[15:12] Okay, let's see what's coming up.
[15:16] There you go. So we've
actually got a lot of options.
[15:19] Ah, I like this one, pawthrive.store.
[15:22] But how about we try
thrivingpaws.store instead,
[15:27] as I think that has a better ring to it.
[15:29] I know AI is meant to
make all the decisions,
[15:31] but I think you can let me off this one
[15:33] as it's sort of AI inspired.
[15:35] Yep, that's perfect and it's available.
[15:38] Okay, so now the domain is registered.
[15:41] We just need to connect it to our store
[15:42] by clicking this button.
[15:45] Then we're gonna click
on connect existing,
[15:48] then put in thrivingpaws.store
and click next.
[15:56] And there we go, but we're
still missing a logo.
[15:59] So let's go back to ChatGPT and type in,
[16:03] "I picked Thriving Paws,
give me an idea for a logo.
[16:13] Give it to me in a detailed prompt form
[16:16] so I can use Nanobanana."
[16:19] You can use ChatGPT for
the actual image creation,
[16:22] but from my experience, Nanobanana
[16:25] is the best when it comes
to image generation.
[16:27] So let's head over to nano
banana and paste in our prompt
[16:32] and submit.
[16:34] Okay, so this is what it came up with,
[16:36] and, to be honest, I quite like it.
[16:38] Let's download it and then
upload it to the website.
[16:42] All right, so we have our logo uploaded.
[16:46] Let's go ahead and click on done.
[16:48] And there we have our Thriving Paws logo.
[16:52] Let's just make it a little bit
bigger. I think that's okay.
[16:57] That looks pretty good.
[16:59] It also goes well with our banner
[17:01] and the overall look of the store.
[17:03] So with that,
[17:05] we can tick off brand
creation from our checklist.
[17:08] The AI has also finished rewriting
[17:10] all the new product
titles and descriptions.
[17:13] So let's bulk add all
of them to the store.
[17:16] Then we can go back to Build
Your Store and click done.
[17:19] Let's remove the store password quickly
[17:21] before checking it out.
[17:23] Toggle this off and save the changes.
[17:26] (clock ticking)
[17:28] Now we can go ahead and view the store.
[17:31] Wow, this looks pretty cool.
[17:32] I like the moving banner at the top
[17:34] because free shipping on orders over $50
[17:37] should encourage people
to make larger purchases.
[17:40] The banner also looks very clean
[17:43] and there are plenty of Shop
Now call to action buttons,
[17:46] which will take you straight
to the product pages.
[17:49] Let's click into the catalog page
[17:51] to have a look at all
the different products.
[17:53] There are certainly plenty to choose from,
[17:56] and they all have pretty good photos.
[17:59] The AI seems to have
done a pretty good job
[18:01] optimizing the titles for all of these.
[18:03] I'll check out the individual
product pages later on,
[18:06] but based on what I've seen so far,
[18:09] they should be very good.
[18:10] So that's all checked off.
[18:13] I'll tell you what, let's
order a few of these products
[18:15] so we can test them out in person.
[18:17] So I'm gonna head back to Auto DS
[18:19] and create some sample orders.
[18:21] I think it's worth the cost
[18:23] as I wanna make sure the products reflect
[18:25] what I'm promising on the website.
[18:26] I'll check back with you in
a few days when they arrive.
[18:29] (clock ticking)
[18:30] Right, so it's been about three days
[18:32] and the products have finally arrived,
[18:34] so let's check them out.
[18:37] Okay, so first up, we've
got this interactive ball.
[18:41] Sort of a, it's a dog toy.
[18:43] Well, suppose it could be for a cat too.
[18:45] Let's have a look at it.
[18:48] Right, so we've got some instructions.
[18:52] They don't really tell you a lot.
[18:53] The charge lead, bit
of string, and a ball.
[18:57] To be honest, the color looks quite good.
[18:59] It does actually pop, but
it does feel a bit cheap.
[19:03] So apparently string goes through here.
[19:07] Oh, there we go. Something's happening.
[19:09] There's a light on the bottom there.
[19:13] It does look a bit cheap, doesn't it?
[19:14] I don't really know what
that is supposed to,
[19:17] oh, blimey, there it goes.
[19:20] Don't think we can be selling that.
[19:21] That's not really for me, and
it hasn't even stopped yet.
[19:24] So next is our dog paw cleaner.
[19:28] Now, I've got a high hopes for this one
[19:30] because this was one
of the products I found
[19:32] when I was scrolling on Instagram,
[19:34] so let's have a little look.
[19:38] Well, that looks pretty good straightaway.
[19:40] Certainly feels better
quality, so that's cool.
[19:44] Got good instructions by looks of it.
[19:46] Yep, with diagrams, and that's quite good.
[19:49] A little bit in there,
[19:50] if your dog doesn't like it to start with,
[19:52] it shows you how to
get your dog to use it.
[19:54] So that's pretty good.
[19:56] Now, I think this could be
our main product to focus on,
[20:00] or hero product, if you will.
[20:02] Let's see how it works.
[20:03] Charger is just on there, all very simple.
[20:06] Let's see if we can switch it on.
[20:08] It's all got silicon in here.
[20:10] Look, for scrub in your
paws or your pet paws.
[20:14] And let's go for switch on.
[20:16] There you go, as you can see, quite quiet.
[20:19] That's pretty powerful
as well, to be fair.
[20:21] Different speeds. Do you know what?
[20:23] That is a very, very good product.
[20:25] Finally, let's take a look
at the Air Tag dog collar.
[20:29] Now, I think this is a really good idea
[20:31] if you want to keep track of your dog.
[20:33] So it comes with a screwdriver there.
[20:37] So there you go, that's where
the Air Tag goes just on here,
[20:40] and you just unscrew that
to put the Air Tag in there.
[20:44] And once it's in there, it's
actually waterproof as well.
[20:46] So you haven't gotta worry
if your dog goes in the sea
[20:49] or in the local pond or something
like that, like they do.
[20:53] It comes in various sizes.
Also, various colors as well.
[20:56] But I do actually quite like that color.
[20:58] It looks really good.
[20:59] Easy to clip on and off, easy to adjust.
[21:02] Looks good quality, doesn't it?
[21:04] I'm really, really happy with that.
[21:05] I think that's gonna sell really
well. So very, very happy.
[21:09] (clock ticking)
[21:11] So that's the products reviewed,
[21:14] and now we need to create
the product advertisements.
[21:18] This is such an important step
[21:20] because if nobody knows about the store,
[21:21] then we are not gonna make any sales.
[21:23] It's as simple as that.
[21:25] We've got three different options
[21:26] when it comes to advertisements.
[21:28] Option one is to make our own content
[21:30] and post it on social media.
[21:32] Now, lots of people do this
without showing their face.
[21:34] The most important thing
[21:36] is demonstrating the
product solving a problem.
[21:38] This would be pretty easy for us
[21:40] because we've got the products right here.
[21:42] So it'd be a simple case
[21:43] of seeing what's popping on social media
[21:45] and replicating some viral videos.
[21:48] However, this could take a couple of weeks
[21:50] to understand what content works
[21:52] and for those videos to
start gaining traction.
[21:54] So it's not really a viable
option for this challenge.
[21:57] Option two is to pay an
influencer to make some videos.
[22:00] I did this last time, I did
a drop shipping challenge.
[22:03] However, lots of people
in the comments said
[22:04] that finding influencers wasn't very easy.
[22:07] I was lucky enough to know a few lads
[22:09] who made gym content
called the Grays Brothers,
[22:11] but I understand that not
everyone has influencer friends,
[22:14] so we won't go down that
route for this challenge.
[22:17] The last option is to use paid ads.
[22:19] Normally I'd only go down this route
[22:21] once I've proved that the videos
[22:23] can get organic views first,
[22:24] and then from there I'd put
some ad spend behind them.
[22:27] So if you don't wanna waste money on ads,
[22:29] then I wouldn't recommend copying me.
[22:31] I'm just short on time.
[22:32] But luckily I've saved
most of my budget for this
[22:35] so I can afford to lose some money
[22:37] while I test which ads work.
[22:38] But before we can start
running the meta ads,
[22:40] we need some content.
[22:42] Now, something that performs
really well on social media
[22:44] is called UGC, otherwise known
as user generated content.
[22:49] These are amateur videos
that look like they're filmed
[22:51] by real customers, which
makes them perform well
[22:54] as they just feel authentic.
[22:55] As this video is all about using AI,
[22:58] let's use a tool called
CreateUGC to get some AI avatars
[23:02] to interact with our products.
[23:04] So let's go to the tab I left open before
[23:07] and click get your first video now.
[23:10] Now I'm just gonna enter
my name and click next.
[23:13] Let's go with the scale package.
[23:15] Don't worry, we won't have
to pay for this right now
[23:18] as we get a free trial to
make our first three videos.
[23:21] So let's click start trial for free.
[23:24] So now I'm onto the dashboard.
[23:25] Let's head over to this new video button.
[23:28] Now all I have to do is go to our store
[23:32] and copy the link to the product
[23:34] that I want to make the video for.
[23:36] So let's start with the dog collar.
[23:39] Now, if we scroll down,
it gives us three options,
[23:42] a reaction video, the
product in the person's hand,
[23:46] or the product in the person's hand,
[23:48] but even better quality.
[23:49] So let's go with the last
one and press continue.
[23:53] Now, it just wants me to double check
[23:55] the title and description.
[23:56] This all looks good, as
we've already used AI
[23:58] to rewrite this for us.
[24:00] It's also manually
selected this image here,
[24:04] which is probably the best one
[24:05] so I'm gonna keep it as it is.
[24:08] Now I have to pick an avatar.
[24:09] Ideally, I want some that
looks like they have a pet
[24:12] and will be scroll stopping.
[24:14] So I think this woman will be best here.
[24:18] Now, it's generated
three different scripts,
[24:21] but none of them seem to have
understood the main purpose
[24:24] of the collar, which is that
it's got an Air Tag holder.
[24:28] They're overly focused on
it being water resistant.
[24:30] So let me just adapt
this first script to say,
[24:34] no more worrying where my dog is.
[24:39] This collar has an Air Tag,
[24:43] which means I can keep
track of him at all times.
[24:49] Right, that should do the trick.
[24:51] Let's have a look at what it generated.
[24:53] - Worrying where my dog is,
this collar has an Air Tag in,
[24:56] which means I can keep
track of him at all times.
[24:58] Grab one for peace of mind now.
[25:00] - That's not bad actually.
[25:02] The collar doesn't look
100% like my product though,
[25:05] so I'm gonna repeat this
process a couple more times
[25:08] and get some videos that are spot on
[25:10] and then set up the ads.
[25:12] (upbeat music)
[25:20] Okay, so after some trial and error,
[25:22] I managed to get some
ads that I'm happy with.
[25:24] I think this AI UGC tool is great
[25:27] for quickly generating lots
of different ad variations
[25:31] and seeing what works in terms of hooks
[25:33] and overall ad direction.
[25:34] Before tools like this existed,
[25:36] you had to pay content creators
[25:37] to make lots of different variations,
[25:39] which can get very expensive.
[25:41] So although the AI UGC
content isn't 100% there yet
[25:45] in terms of quality,
[25:46] it is a big help in the early
stages of growing the store.
[25:49] Then you're able to allocate
money into content creation,
[25:52] you know will work based on data
[25:55] instead of just shooting in the dark.
[25:56] I've gone ahead and set up two metro ads
[25:58] with a $20 daily budget.
[26:00] So let's take advertising off the list
[26:03] and check back in a couple of days to see
[26:06] if we've made any sales.
[26:08] (timer beeping)
[26:10] Okay, so it's the last
day of the challenge
[26:12] and we made some sales.
[26:14] It doesn't seem like the
dog collar was very popular,
[26:17] as that didn't sell at all.
[26:19] I actually ended up turning
that ad off completely
[26:21] to save money because
it just wasn't working.
[26:24] However, we did manage to sell
17 of these dog paw cleaners
[26:29] and randomly one of
these pet magic brooms.
[26:31] Interestingly, it was the same customer
[26:33] who bought a paw cleaner,
[26:35] which shows the store was good enough
[26:37] that they came for one thing,
[26:38] but decided to check out
the other products too.
[26:41] That lands our total revenue
at $402 and 41 cents.
[26:45] But of course not all of that was profit.
[26:48] The paw cleaners cost me
$16 and 77 cents each,
[26:52] and the broom was $18.92.
[26:54] So $169 and 85 cents went towards
product cost and shipping.
[26:59] I'm not counting this
towards my $250 budget,
[27:03] as I didn't have to spend any
money until I made the sales.
[27:06] So that money effectively
[27:08] just came straight from the
customer, not my own pocket.
[27:11] And then Auto DS shipped
all the orders for us,
[27:14] so we didn't need to worry about anything.
[27:15] Over the three days,
[27:16] I also ended up spending
around $150 on meta ads,
[27:20] and I also had to pay $1 for Shopify
[27:23] after our free day free trial ran out.
[27:26] So our total cost came
to $320 and 85 cents.
[27:31] That leaves us with a
profit of $81 and 56 cents.
[27:36] So clearly I failed the challenge.
[27:38] However, I'm actually really surprised
[27:40] at how much we achieved in just seven days
[27:43] and how much this store has
made with minimal effort.
[27:46] And AI pretty much did
everything for free.
[27:49] Imagine if I actually
went back to the store
[27:51] and spent some more time optimizing it
[27:53] and let it run for a month or so.
[27:55] I'm sure there are so
many things I could do
[27:57] to increase sales.
[27:58] I think given a bit more
time and a human touch,
[28:01] this store could definitely
make $1,000 in profit
[28:04] every month, however a deal's a deal.
[28:06] So I'm giving away $1,000 of my own money
[28:10] to someone in the comments.
[28:11] Just let me know what store you'd start
[28:14] if you were doing this challenge,
[28:15] and I'll split the money between
three of the best comments.
