[0:00] I've literally started over from scratch
[0:01] with nothing more than what was in my
[0:03] head and still became successful at drop
[0:05] shipping. Which means that I'm living
[0:07] proof that you don't need the perfect
[0:08] opportunity or a startup budget to make
[0:10] it big. You just need the fundamental
[0:12] skills that I'll be sharing with you
[0:14] today. And the best part, it's easily
[0:16] achievable even if you work a 9 to5 just
[0:19] like I did when I started out. Now look,
[0:21] I know exactly where you're at right
[0:23] now. You're probably sitting at home
[0:24] after 9 to5 scrolling through videos
[0:26] trying to figure out how to escape that
[0:28] daily grind. and drop shipping seems
[0:30] like the perfect solution, right? Low
[0:32] investment, no inventory, and the
[0:34] potential to make some serious money
[0:36] while you sleep. But you're also
[0:38] probably overwhelmed with all the
[0:39] different advice out there. Should you
[0:41] be using Facebook ads, Tik Tok? What
[0:44] products should you be selling? How do
[0:46] you even set up a store? And listen, I
[0:48] get it because I was exactly where you
[0:50] are not too long ago. That's why in this
[0:52] video, I'm going to show you the exact
[0:53] step-by-step process to start a Shopify
[0:55] drop shipping business in 2025. even if
[0:58] you have zero experience and are
[1:00] starting with basically no money. And
[1:01] I'm not going to waste your time with
[1:03] generic advice like find a good product
[1:05] or build a store. I'm going to give you
[1:07] the exact 2025 playbook that I wish
[1:10] someone had given me when I first
[1:11] started. And before we dive in, let me
[1:13] just quickly share something personal
[1:15] that should paint the picture of how
[1:16] powerful knowledge actually is. You see,
[1:18] a few years back, I had to start
[1:20] completely from scratch. A disaster
[1:22] wiped out everything that I owned. My
[1:24] apartment, my belongings, everything was
[1:26] gone overnight. But here's the thing. I
[1:28] still had the most valuable asset, the
[1:31] knowledge in my head. I already knew
[1:32] exactly how to build a profitable drop
[1:34] shipping business. And that's something
[1:36] that nobody could take away from me.
[1:38] With just my laptop and that knowledge,
[1:40] I was able to build a brand new business
[1:41] that generated $1.7 million in just 5
[1:44] months. That's why I'm so passionate
[1:46] about teaching this stuff, because once
[1:48] you learn these skills, they're yours
[1:50] forever, no matter what life throws at
[1:53] you. And with that said, let's jump
[1:55] straight into the process so you can
[1:57] develop those skills for yourself as
[1:58] well. The first step to starting your
[2:00] Shopify drop shipping store is choosing
[2:02] the right niche. Now, most people tell
[2:04] you to follow your passion or pick
[2:06] something that you're interested in. But
[2:08] in 2025, that advice is outdated and it
[2:11] can actually hurt your chances of
[2:13] success. So instead, here's what you
[2:15] need to do. First, you want to find a
[2:17] niche that hits the sweet spot between
[2:19] passion, profit, and practicality. Let
[2:22] me break that down for you. Starting
[2:23] with passion. Yes, you should be
[2:25] somewhat interested in that niche, but
[2:27] it doesn't have to be your life calling.
[2:29] Next is the profit. The niche needs to
[2:32] have products with good profit margins
[2:34] where you're aiming for at least 2.5x of
[2:36] the product cost itself for what the
[2:37] current market is selling the product
[2:39] for. Then practicality. You see, now
[2:41] this is where most beginners go wrong.
[2:44] Your niche needs to be practical for
[2:45] drop shipping. meaning that the products
[2:47] that you sell shouldn't be too heavy,
[2:50] too fragile, and oversaturated. This is
[2:53] important because you don't want to add
[2:54] potential problems before you even get
[2:56] started. For example, let's say that you
[2:58] sell something like luxury wine glasses
[3:00] or gym equipment. Well, you're basically
[3:02] shooting yourself in the foot because
[3:03] problems like broken products and
[3:05] massive shipping costs due to the weight
[3:07] will be an everyday thing that you have
[3:09] to face. So, instead, you want to choose
[3:11] products that will always have a smooth
[3:13] time traveling across the world. and
[3:15] small gadgets. Those are ones that often
[3:17] work the best. So, these are the
[3:19] requirements, but how do you actually
[3:21] find this perfect niche? Well, it's a
[3:24] lot easier than it may seem at first.
[3:26] Because, you see, most beginners, they
[3:28] struggle to find a niche that actually
[3:30] makes sales. They often choose the
[3:32] oversaturated ones that just seem cool
[3:34] and then later wonder why they're not
[3:36] getting any results. But that's not even
[3:38] the worst part. They then spend weeks,
[3:41] if not months, building a store around a
[3:43] product that was doomed from the start.
[3:45] No sales, no growth, just wasted time
[3:48] and effort. Which is exactly why I use
[3:50] AutoDS to skip past that and why you
[3:53] should, too. Autods has been a game
[3:55] changer for my business, because it
[3:56] doesn't just show you random products.
[3:58] It shows you products are actually
[4:00] selling right now based off of real-time
[4:02] data. Plus, it gives you insights into
[4:04] profit margins, competition levels, and
[4:07] even shipping times. basically
[4:09] everything that you need to make an
[4:10] informed decision about your niche. So,
[4:12] the key is to avoid ultra competitive
[4:14] niches like general fashion or
[4:16] electronics and instead look for
[4:18] specific subniches with passionate
[4:20] buyers. For example, instead of fitness
[4:22] equipment, you might focus on home yoga
[4:24] equipment for beginners that is much
[4:26] more specific and way less competition.
[4:28] And just to make this even better for
[4:30] you, I've also secured a special
[4:32] discount with AutoDS, which you can
[4:34] access from the link down below this
[4:35] video. So, make sure to not miss out on
[4:36] this because finding the right niche
[4:38] will either make or break your store.
[4:40] Now that you've chosen your niche, it is
[4:42] time to build your store. This right
[4:44] here is where most beginners get stuck
[4:46] and end up wasting weeks trying to
[4:48] perfect every little detail. But here's
[4:50] the truth. In 2025, you don't need to be
[4:52] a web designer or spend weeks building
[4:54] your store. Thanks to AI, you can have a
[4:57] professional looking store up and
[4:58] running in less than an hour. First,
[5:00] you'll need to sign up for Shopify. And
[5:02] I've already got a special link in the
[5:03] description down below that will give
[5:04] you your first three months for just $1,
[5:06] which is perfect when you're just
[5:08] starting out and trying to keep costs
[5:09] low. So once you sign up for Shopify,
[5:12] here's where the magic happens. Instead
[5:14] of trying to design your store from
[5:15] scratch, you're going to use the AI
[5:17] store builder. This tool is absolutely
[5:20] incredible. You just enter in your
[5:22] niche, pick some basic design
[5:24] preferences, and it builds an entire
[5:26] professional store for 100% free in only
[5:29] a couple minutes. I'm talking about a
[5:31] professional designed homepage, product
[5:33] page templates that are optimized for
[5:35] conversions and trust badging elements
[5:37] that boost sales. So, what used to take
[5:39] me weeks to build a store from scratch
[5:42] now only takes a couple minutes. And the
[5:44] stores that it builds achieve conversion
[5:46] rates two to three times higher than
[5:47] beginner built stores. So, here's a
[5:49] quick tip. When using the AI store
[5:52] builder, don't just accept the default
[5:54] settings. Take an extra 15 to 20 minutes
[5:56] to customize the colors, logo, and
[5:58] overall feel to match your niche. You
[6:00] see, this small step can dramatically
[6:02] increase your conversion rates. And the
[6:04] reason that this tool is so powerful is
[6:06] that it's built on data from thousands
[6:07] of successful stores. It knows exactly
[6:10] what elements that you need to have on
[6:11] your homepage, what your product pages
[6:13] should look like, and how to structure
[6:14] your checkout process for maximum
[6:16] conversions. In the description down
[6:18] below, I've included a link where you
[6:20] can get started with this free AI store
[6:21] builder and build your store in the next
[6:24] hour. And hey, if you've been gaining
[6:26] value from this video so far, then make
[6:28] sure to comment start along with your
[6:29] biggest takeaway for a chance to win a
[6:31] free one-on-one consulting call with me,
[6:33] where we will map out your drop shipping
[6:34] game plan from A through Z to ensure
[6:37] that you get success. So, with your
[6:38] perfect niche and store ready to go, it
[6:41] is time to find the winning products
[6:42] that you'll fill it up with. This is the
[6:44] biggest make or break step for your drop
[6:45] shipping business because you could have
[6:47] the best looking store in the world. But
[6:49] if you're selling products that nobody
[6:51] wants, you're not going to be making any
[6:53] money. So the question is, how do you
[6:55] find winning products in 2025? Well,
[6:58] first, forget about using AliExpress to
[7:01] browse randomly. This method is dead.
[7:03] It's like trying to find a needle in a
[7:05] haststack. Possible, but extremely
[7:08] timeconuming. So instead, you need a
[7:10] datadriven approach. Here's my
[7:12] three-step product research method that
[7:14] you can follow right now. Data analysis.
[7:16] Use AutoDS to find products that are
[7:19] already selling well. Their trend
[7:20] analysis tool shows you exactly what's
[7:22] hot right now with real sales data to
[7:24] back it up. Competition check. Look at
[7:27] how many other drop shippers are selling
[7:29] this exact same product. Because if
[7:31] everyone in their mom is selling it,
[7:32] you're going to have a hard time
[7:33] standing out. But also make sure to not
[7:36] reinvent the wheel. You want to pick
[7:38] something that clearly is working but
[7:39] isn't the most popular one out there.
[7:41] That way, you'll hit the sweet spot
[7:43] between supply and demand. Profit margin
[7:45] verification. You want to make sure that
[7:47] the product has at least a 2.5x profit
[7:49] margin. That gives you room to run ads
[7:52] and still be able to make money. Now,
[7:54] another thing that I absolutely love
[7:55] about AutoDS is that it shows you the
[7:57] trend score for each product. This is
[7:59] like a snapshot of how popular a product
[8:01] is right now, where you want to be
[8:03] aiming for products with a trend score
[8:05] of seven or higher. But here's a pro
[8:07] tip. Don't just look at the current
[8:08] trend score. Look at the trend history
[8:11] where you want to be finding products
[8:12] that are consistently trending up, not
[8:14] ones that just spiked up one time and
[8:16] are now declining. When evaluating
[8:18] products, also consider these three
[8:20] factors. Problem solving. The best
[8:22] products solve a specific problem for
[8:24] your customers. Wow factor. It should
[8:26] have something unique or surprising that
[8:28] make people want to share it. And
[8:30] lastly, impulse purchase potential. The
[8:32] price should be low enough that people
[8:34] can buy it without too much thought. For
[8:36] example, one of the best performing
[8:38] products that I've seen recently is a
[8:40] portable pet water bottle with a
[8:42] built-in bowl. It solves a clear
[8:43] problem. Hydrating pets on the go, has a
[8:46] wow factor, which is the clever design,
[8:48] and it's priced low enough for an
[8:50] impulse buy. Remember, product research,
[8:53] it's not a one-time thing. In 2025,
[8:56] trends, they move fast. So, you should
[8:58] be constantly researching and testing
[8:59] new products in your niche to always
[9:01] stay ahead of the curve. And now that
[9:03] you have your store and your products,
[9:05] you now need to set up your supply
[9:06] chain. This is what makes drop shipping
[9:08] different from traditional e-commerce
[9:10] because you don't have to hold any
[9:12] inventory. And for those of you who
[9:13] don't know what a supply chain is, it's
[9:15] just essentially explains how your
[9:16] product gets from the suppliers into the
[9:18] hands of the customers. So, a customer
[9:20] places an order, it gets sent to the
[9:22] supplier, they package it, ship it to
[9:24] the customer, and then you keep a
[9:25] percentage. That's your supply chain.
[9:28] Now, in 2025, there are two main
[9:30] approaches to drop shipping supply
[9:31] chains. There is traditional drop
[9:33] shipping where you're working directly
[9:35] with suppliers, usually from China, or
[9:38] there's domestic drop shipping, where
[9:40] you're working with suppliers in your
[9:42] own country. Traditional drop shipping
[9:43] typically offers better profit margins,
[9:46] but way longer shipping times, while
[9:48] domestic drop shipping has thinner
[9:50] margins, but much faster shipping. For
[9:52] beginners, I recommend starting with
[9:54] traditional drop shipping to learn the
[9:56] ropes. Then, as you scale, you can
[9:58] transition to domestic suppliers or even
[10:01] consider holding some inventory for your
[10:02] bestselling products. So, here's how to
[10:05] set up your supply chain. First thing
[10:06] you want to do is connect your Shopify
[10:08] store to AutoDS. This is going to allow
[10:10] you to import products directly from
[10:11] suppliers and automate much of the
[10:13] fulfillment process. Next, you want to
[10:15] choose your suppliers carefully. You
[10:17] want to be looking for communication
[10:18] quality, like do they respond quickly
[10:20] and is it clearly? Then processing
[10:23] times, asking yourself, how quickly do
[10:25] they ship after an order? And last,
[10:27] product quality. Getting order samples
[10:30] if possible. This is how you can always
[10:32] ensure that you're selling a good,
[10:33] high-quality product. You see, one
[10:35] mistake that I see beginners make is
[10:36] using the cheapest supplier that they
[10:38] can find. This almost always backfires
[10:41] when the quality is poor or shipping
[10:43] times take forever. Instead, focus on
[10:45] finding reliable suppliers who may
[10:47] charge a little bit more, but deliver
[10:49] consistently good products on time. It
[10:51] is worth a slightly smaller margin for
[10:53] reliability. Also, always have backup
[10:55] suppliers for your bestselling products.
[10:58] Nothing kills a drop shipping business
[10:59] faster than suppliers suddenly running
[11:01] out of stock or just disappearing. After
[11:04] I found my first winning product and I
[11:05] started scaling, I learned a crucial
[11:07] lesson about managing success. In just
[11:09] five months, I went from having nothing
[11:11] to generating over $1.7 million in
[11:14] revenue and
[11:15] $450,000 plus in profit. Let me just say
[11:18] that success was incredible. But it also
[11:21] came with new challenges. As the orders
[11:23] started pouring in, I had to make sure
[11:25] that my supply chain could handle the
[11:26] volume. One small hiccup in the supply
[11:28] chain could have derailed everything
[11:30] that I'd already built. That's why I
[11:32] always recommend having backup suppliers
[11:33] in place from day one. It might seem
[11:36] excessive when you're just starting, but
[11:38] it's so much easier to set this up
[11:39] before you need it than to scramble when
[11:41] you're in the middle of rapid growth.
[11:43] And now that you got your store, you've
[11:45] got your products, and you've got your
[11:47] suppliers, you need customers. But
[11:50] interestingly, this isn't actually the
[11:52] part where most drop shippers fail. Even
[11:54] though it may seem like it, most of them
[11:56] fail in the next step, purely because
[11:58] they fail to realize its importance. But
[12:01] before we get into that, let's get you
[12:03] some initial customers. In 2025, there
[12:05] are several ways to drive traffic to
[12:07] your store, but not all of them are
[12:09] created equally. Let me go and break
[12:10] down what actually works for complete
[12:12] beginners. Starting with Tik Tok
[12:14] organic, create short, engaging videos
[12:17] about your products. Focus on showing
[12:18] the problems that your product solves,
[12:20] then the solution that it provides. No
[12:22] fancy equipment is going to be needed,
[12:24] just your phone and good lighting. Next
[12:26] is through Instagram reels. This is
[12:28] similar to Tik Tok, but it can be easier
[12:30] to build an initial following if you
[12:32] already have some Instagram presence.
[12:34] After that is Facebook or Instagram ads.
[12:37] Still effective, but more expensive than
[12:39] it was just a few years ago. So, start
[12:42] with a small budget around like $10 to
[12:44] $20 per day and it scale only when you
[12:46] see positive results. So, for beginners,
[12:49] I do recommend starting with organic
[12:50] social media. And here's why. It's free.
[12:54] It helps you test product interest
[12:55] before spending on ads. and it builds a
[12:58] following that you can market to again
[13:00] and again. But if you got some money to
[13:02] spend, I definitely recommend using paid
[13:05] ads. That's because paid ads, they drive
[13:07] even way more traffic. They're better at
[13:09] targeting your ideal customers, and you
[13:12] save valuable time. So, when you are
[13:14] creating content, I want you to follow
[13:15] what I call the PPS formula. Starting
[13:18] with the first P, which is problem. You
[13:20] got to start by highlighting a specific
[13:21] problem that your audience faces. Then
[13:23] the next P is pain. Amplify the
[13:26] emotional impact of that problem. And
[13:28] lastly, S for solution. Introduce your
[13:30] product as the perfect solution. And
[13:32] remember, the key is consistency. You
[13:35] want to be posting at least once per day
[13:37] for 30 days straight. And I know this
[13:39] might seem like a lot, but just keep in
[13:41] mind, you're building a business, so you
[13:43] need to treat it like one. On a side
[13:45] note, I'd love to know what part of the
[13:47] process seems most challenging to you.
[13:48] Is it finding products? Is it building
[13:50] your store? Or creating content? drop a
[13:53] comment down below and let me know so I
[13:54] can talk more about that in future
[13:56] videos. Now, the final step is to
[13:58] optimize and scale your business. This
[14:00] is where the real money is made. Once
[14:02] you start getting sales, you need to
[14:04] analyze your data to see what is working
[14:05] and what's not. Here, you want to be
[14:07] paying attention to what products that
[14:09] are selling the best, the traffic
[14:11] sources that are bringing in the most
[14:12] customers, and of course, your profit
[14:15] margins after all the expenses. And use
[14:17] this data to double down on what's
[14:19] working and to cut what's not. If one
[14:21] product is out selling everything else,
[14:23] focus more of your energy and your ad
[14:25] budget on that product. Then, as you
[14:27] start to scale, consider these
[14:29] strategies where you're adding in
[14:31] complimentary products to increase your
[14:32] average order value. You're implementing
[14:34] email marketing to bring customers back
[14:36] for repeat purchases, and you're
[14:38] exploring new traffic sources to be able
[14:41] to diversify your customer acquisition.
[14:43] Because one of the biggest mistakes I
[14:44] see drop shippers do after seeing some
[14:46] initial success is not maximizing value
[14:49] per customer. They end up spending all
[14:50] their energy on gaining new customers,
[14:53] which just is not sustainable in the
[14:55] long term. Look at it like pouring water
[14:57] into a bucket that is leaking from the
[14:58] bottom where the water represents your
[15:01] customers. You see, you can pour in as
[15:03] much as you want, but the water level
[15:05] stays the same. You're essentially
[15:06] missing out on two to 3x in your
[15:08] business because previous customers
[15:10] never come back for more. And what's
[15:13] worse, you're spending all that time and
[15:15] energy finding new customers while just
[15:17] setting up an email system with patch up
[15:19] the league and get you scaling without
[15:21] breaking a sweat. And that's exactly why
[15:23] I use Omnisend. This is a super
[15:25] effective email and SMS marketing tool
[15:27] that allows you to automate follow-ups
[15:28] to old customers so that they won't
[15:30] forget about your store. But besides
[15:32] that, it's also really great for sending
[15:34] follow-ups for people who ditch their
[15:35] cart. Omnison allows you to maximize the
[15:37] value of a single customer, which is
[15:39] just as important to marketing to new
[15:41] customers. This is the tool that I
[15:42] personally use as well as recommend to
[15:44] most of my students. So definitely make
[15:46] sure to go and check it out as the link
[15:48] is down below in the description. Now
[15:49] the key to scaling successfully is
[15:51] reinvestment. In the early days, people
[15:54] used to reinvest at least 50% of their
[15:56] profits back into the business. Better
[15:58] products, more advertising, and tools
[16:00] that can save you time. So before you go
[16:02] crazy and you start spending all the
[16:03] profits, make sure to invest at least 25
[16:06] to 50% back into the business so that
[16:08] you can continue to keep scaling. It's
[16:09] also essential to have some sort of
[16:11] backup fund just in case some emergency
[16:13] happens. So, there you have it. The
[16:15] complete step-by-step guide to starting
[16:17] a Shopify drop shipping business in
[16:19] 2025. But here's the thing. While this
[16:22] information is powerful, information
[16:24] alone doesn't build businesses. Action
[16:27] does. So, if you're serious about
[16:28] applying this, then you've got all the
[16:30] components of drop shipping success
[16:32] nailed down. But perhaps you feel like
[16:34] you need somebody to point out your
[16:35] blind spots during this entire process.
[16:38] Well, you're not alone. I know from
[16:40] experience that having the right
[16:42] guidance, it can accelerate your success
[16:44] by months or even years. And that's why
[16:47] I created my one-on-one mentorship
[16:48] program to provide a personalized
[16:50] guidance, support, and accountability
[16:52] that can take you from zero to a
[16:54] profitable drop shipping business in
[16:56] record time. In my mentorship program,
[16:58] you'll get immediate access to
[17:00] personalized one-on-one coaching calls,
[17:02] access to my exclusive product research
[17:04] database, proven ad templates and
[17:06] copywriting formulas, a private
[17:08] community of successful drop shippers,
[17:10] and a step-by-step implementation plan
[17:12] customized to your specific situation.
[17:14] But I want to be clear, this program
[17:16] isn't for everyone. I only work with
[17:18] action takers who are serious about
[17:20] building a real business. So, if that's
[17:22] you, which I'm sure it is since you're
[17:24] still watching, the link to apply is in
[17:26] the description. Now, spots are very
[17:28] limited, so make sure to apply now if
[17:30] you're ready to fasttrack your success.
[17:32] And remember, in 2025, drop shipping has
[17:35] evolved drastically, and the people who
[17:37] are thriving are the ones who've adapted
[17:39] to the new landscape. But if you
[17:40] actually apply what I've taught you here
[17:42] today, and make sure to always improve
[17:44] moving forward, I can guarantee that
[17:46] you'll be thriving as well. I mean,
[17:48] think about the freedom that you'll gain
[17:49] just by implementing these steps
[17:51] consistently. You can finally quit the
[17:52] 9ine toive job that you hate, travel the
[17:54] world, buy freedom for your family, and
[17:57] get the dream car that you've always
[17:58] wanted. All it takes is just starting
[18:01] today. Because remember, the beginning
[18:04] is always going to be the hardest. And
[18:05] then once you gain momentum, it gets so
[18:08] much easier. So, with the right
[18:09] knowledge, the tools, and the mindset,
[18:11] you can build a profitable drop shipping
[18:13] business from scratch, even if you're
[18:15] starting from zero experience and
[18:16] minimal funds. And if you're ready to
[18:18] dive deeper, check out my next video on

[18:22] shipping products in 2025. It's linked
