[00:01]
The Core Mistake in Dropshipping

Many dropshippers fail because they skip proper product research. A wrong product will fail even with a great website and ads.

[02:00]
Method 1: Instagram Feed Mining

Use Instagram to search for niche keywords like 'kids product' and like relevant videos. The algorithm then fills your feed with similar products, effectively making products come to you.

[04:36]
Method 2: Instagram + Amazon Finds

Combine Instagram with Amazon by searching for 'Amazon Finds' to discover products that are both being sold on Amazon and promoted on Instagram, indicating proven demand and interest.

[07:00]
Method 3: Facebook Ads Library

Use the Facebook Ads Library to see which products competitors are actively advertising. This reveals products that are likely profitable, as people don't spend money on ads for products that don't sell.

[12:23]
Method 4: Amazon Best Sellers & Movers & Shakers

Check Amazon's Best Sellers and Movers & Shakers lists to see what's currently in high demand. This provides direct market validation and can reveal products with high sales volumes.

[16:58]
Method 5: TikTok Trend Analysis (Kalodata)

Use a tool like Kalodata to find trending products on TikTok in the US. This gives you an early-mover advantage by bringing unique products to the Indian market before they become saturated.

[21:15]
Winning Product Framework

A framework to evaluate potential products: 1) Mass Desire, 2) Big TAM (Total Addressable Market), 3) Solves a Big Problem, 4) High Margin, 5) Lightweight, 6) Not Fragile, 7) No Batteries.

[16:12]

Importance of High Margin

Highlights a common mistake in dropshipping: selling products with too low a margin to cover marketing costs.

23:22

[00:01] and from this business I have produced multiple winning products and from those winning products I have generated sales worth crores. But I have noticed that many people make one mistake. Create a store , upload products, even

[00:13] run ads. But every morning when I check my shop store, I see that the orders have not arrived. Or orders came but no profit was made. So, they get demotivated and close their Shopify store and say that brother, this

[00:26] Shopify dropshipping does not work. How will it work? Because the most important step, product research, was not done properly. To tell you the truth, if the product is wrong then even the best website will fail and even the best ads will fail. And this is the reason why

[00:40] maximum dropships never make profits. So the question is where can we get winning products? Today in this video I will teach you two things. The first five proven methods to show you how to find winning products. Secondly,

[00:53] I will give you a winning product framework which you will be able to apply on the products obtained through these five methods and will be able to identify the actual winners which can actually help you in bringing sales worth lakhs and crores because

[01:05] everyone gets products but very few people are able to identify winning products and at the end of this video I will show you such a product which 99% of the people ignore and scroll by but I validated that product through this framework

[01:19] and generated sales worth crores and all the five methods which I am going to share with you are best in themselves and you cannot ignore any of them. Because you don't know

[01:32] which method will get you your next winning product. And there is one method in this which no one is talking about. And that method is the best method today in the year 2026 which gives you the winning product in your plate. You must have heard people saying

[01:48] you will find winning products. But if I tell you rarer than you go after the products. If the products run after you then let's do it.

[02:00] So first of all I will open Instagram and after opening Instagram there are some in the description. From that I am dropping a keyword here whose keyword name is Kids Product. And then I will search.

[02:15] I already have some products showing up on my feed as soon as I search. As soon as I click on that product, this video starts and if I just scroll down, I can see the second product. All I have to do is I have to just

[02:29] like these videos. And the more I scroll, the faster I get winning products, which means I have countless unlimited on-demand products. Now I don't have to search for products. Products are actually looking for me.

[02:44] Because Facebook has become so powerful these days. If you tell him what you want, which is by liking and sharing any video, he

[02:57] scrolling again and again and I am seeing only kids products. Similarly I can find kitchen products. What should I do? Here you have to write kitchen gadgets. And as soon as I see videos below related to kitchen gadgets. For

[03:12] example, I first saw this garlic pillar. I scrolled down. I scrolled down further. I saw another product. This is amazing. Meaning everything is running on auto pilot automation. The

[03:26] meta is telling you itself. Facebook itself is telling you that these are the winning products on which ads will actually be running. Or going viral organically. Because you will see that it has 1 million likes. The shares are worth Rs 398. This is

[03:41] currently one of the easiest methods you can use to find products right now while sitting and watching videos. Now that you have watched these videos once, slowly your entire Instagram feed will be

[03:56] filled with only these products. Whenever you try to watch a reel, you will always see reels where these products are running. And it will be the easiest way. That's it, you've got a hack to find the winning product that exists on your phone.

[04:09] And now shortlist these products that you are getting. these products that you are getting. tell you how to identify

[04:21] which of these products is the winning product. Look, this is one of the fastest and the easiest ways. But what if I tell you that I will give you this method and add steroids on top of it. Join the world's largest e-commerce platform with Instagram and then we

[04:36] bring out the winning products which people are actually actively trying to sell and on which people are making ads , making videos. So how will it be? So let me tell you how you can combine Instagram and Amazon and

[04:50] find products that people are trying to sell and get a good amount of views on them. Videos are going viral and sales worth lakhs and crores are coming in. and sales worth lakhs and crores are coming in.

[05:03] and this time we will search Amazon Find. Now what happens is that there are many people on Instagram who

[05:19] through the Amazon Affiliate Program. The Amazon affiliate program is a separate topic. We will not go into that but you should understand that videos are being made on the same products which are being sold on Amazon. tag Amazon Finds. So now as I looked here I can see a product

[05:35] Amazon Kitchen Find where I'll scroll back down and I see another product which is again from Amazon where someone I think someone when you open the [MUSIC] back to

[05:51] stabilize the lid. Then after that I am scrolling down. So I combined the two methods and now I have a combination of Amazon plus Instagram and I started realizing that this is a product that is being

[06:05] sold on Amazon. Plus at the same time people are making videos of it on Instagram and a good number of people are watching it. Watching the videos and I have unlimited my whole feed is filled with it and I will do the same thing again. I will

[06:19] like these videos and also comment somewhere. I will even follow many of these accounts. even follow many of these accounts. So that I always have some shortage of product. I always have 1520 products on hand that

[06:33] I can refer to at any given time and I know they work. Reason being people are making videos on this. And this is an Amazon Find product. Meaning they are being sold on Amazon. By the way, the product from which I got sales worth crores, I did not get it through these two

[06:45] methods. I got it through another method. And I will tell you how. Now I am going to tell you a method which is actually free and the most powerful. Because from there you get to know on which ads people are investing money.

[07:00] You see the advertiser. You see his number of ads. You also get to know how long that ad was running. And most importantly, if someone is spending money on ads, he is clearly telling you that brother, this

[07:15] product sells, that is why I am selling it and I am running so many ads. Now we will go to Google and search for Facebook Ads Library. As soon as you search, the

[07:28] first option you will get will be Facebook Ads Library. Here Facebook Ads Library. Here Now we have India selected here by default because I am

[07:41] select all such ads. And some of the keywords I'm going to give you. Through these keywords you can find basically unlimited products. And if you want, you can go into any category. Any one prominent keyword of that category. Keyword means

[07:56] if you want to find products in kids category then you can write kids. If you want to search for women category then you can write women. If you want to find any product for leg pain, you can Etsetra. So what should I do? So first of all I will write Kids here and

[08:10] after writing only Kids I will leave it for once and it will refresh and it will automatically show me who are the people who are currently

[08:22] running Kids products on Facebook Ads on Meta. Like you can clearly see that Like you can clearly see that Meesho, Amazon India, AU, Aedu, Ttopia, all these people are running ads. And what this active is showing you is telling you that

[08:37] active means this ad is active at this time when I am searching. Now I don't care about Amazon. I'll scroll it down, scroll it down, trying to find some products. I don't have to search for any big brand.

[08:54] I want to see here which websites are there which I do n't know about, whose names I have not heard and those people are running ads. For example, Roda is also a brand if you haven't heard of it. Someone is doing Fatak Drama.

[09:08] you haven't heard of it. Someone is doing Fatak Drama. Someone is trying to sell his I think some ladies scrolling it down. Unless I see some uniqueness. Now I saw one thing here, someone is selling multivitamin gummies.

[09:21] I went straight to his website. Or there might be a website called Little Joyce. But I don't want to go here either. I'll scroll down and then just okay

[09:33] so I've got a page from Kids bd that's trying to sell a product in another Indian language. As soon as I clicked on Order Now, I saw this product. There is some kids

[09:49] n't understand the language at all. So I will avoid it. I will go ahead. And here someone is trying to sell something by doing star toys. We'll come up with more, scroll down. The best is by doing a shop. Clean Body Like Never Before. Click here to

[10:04] see. Let's see what happens. Ok. So I found a product that's supposed to be a body cleaning silicone bath brush that someone was trying to sell. Buy one get one for ₹299. Now if you look at this website, it is

[10:18] not a brand website. It looks like a very general website. It may But this guy is running ads. And if I click on its products

[10:30] and sort by best selling, then I will also know which is its best seller. So its best seller is actually the same product that this person is advertising. Let me give you two more examples. So that will become more clear to you. If

[10:44] So that will become more clear to you. If I scroll down, I will find more products here. So like I saw this brand or a store called Rhoda. When I clicked on it, I found out that they were

[10:58] selling kids products. Now if I want, I can select its entire website. I can after selecting its website, I can drop its brand name here which is drop its brand name here which is Rhoda Baby. And when I come here and

[11:14] Rhoda Baby. And when I come here and search for it, I will see all the ads of this brand at one place. I can see that 1130 ads are live right now selling these bags for kids and Raksha Bandhan is coming

[11:30] amazing. And I am getting product ideas from here that these people are running ads on these products. You

[11:42] that are currently on sale. You just have to be creative about which keywords you will search on and I have given you a list of some keywords in the description. So you can pick it up from there also. But there is also a method through which you can know what

[11:54] people are actually buying in the market today. This is the same method from where I got one of my biggest winning products in which we made products in which we made sales of $30,000 within a day and we

[12:08] got massive growth within a few days and I will also tell you what that product was but before that let me explain this method to you how to use it.

[12:23] Movers and Shakers or if you are not able to find Amazon Movers and Shakers then Amazon Best Sellers, as soon as you come to Amazon Best Sellers, you get the complete list of which products are the best sellers at this time. Look, Amazon is the world's

[12:38] largest ecosystem of e-commerce and if any product is being sold there, that means there is demand for that product and the first thing I checked before selling the product was whether there was demand for that product in the market and first of all I did

[12:51] not even know whether there was demand for that product or not until I checked it on Amazon. So on Amazon you can clearly see which products are ranking at number one, number two, number three, number four and when you click on any product

[13:03] for example, I am seeing the fifth product which is totally different and is made to treat hard water. This is one of those categories in which people build businesses worth crores in both India and US. Because people have now become

[13:19] sensitive and have started spending money on themselves. And let me show you one thing about this product which very few people pay attention to. And Amazon actually literally serves you that brother, this product is being sold. Buy it

[13:32] means sell it. Now look, just below this product it is written that this product has been sold in more than 5000 units. Last month if you multiply 5000

[13:49] tell me by commenting. This means that you can generate sales worth crores by selling such a product. And this is being told to you by Amazon itself. And when you scroll down, not only this, it also tells you what other people buy from it and I get

[14:03] unlimited products. For example, as I scrolled down, I even found that apart from the people who are buying this, other people are also buying these items. Which is again a hard water shower that has been purchased by around 400 people.

[14:16] water shower that has been purchased by around 400 people. Amazing good point. And you have unlimited products like this. Meaning you can sell in whatever category you want. Let's suppose you don't want it, friend, I don't want to sell it in the field of health and wellness. Now if you want to

[14:28] sold at this time? You see that weighing scales are for sale. You are finding out that a Nutri Juicer is on sale. Now many people might be saying that these are very big brands. These will be sold, they will be sold. No, you think that people are

[14:44] buying this stuff right now. If you just understand that you know what is in demand in the market and when you try to sell that product, your chances of success will increase 10x-20x because if you try to sell something against the market,

[14:59] try to sell something against the market, you will be ruined, literally, because when I was trying to sell my product, it scaled so quickly because its demand on Amazon was going through the roof. I will tell you

[15:13] why it was going through the roof, due to which reason, and all those points, but here you have those points, but here you have You can get unlimited ideas from here. Do you understand

[15:29] which way the market is moving? You get to know what is selling, in what quantity and you know what is the number one product in the car category ? If today suppose I want to do even dropshipping or build an e-commerce brand.

[15:44] Well, people buy perfume for their cars because more than 10,000 units are sold. If I launch a car perfume, now I know that I am going in the right direction. I am selecting a product which has

[15:59] selecting a product which has huge demand in the market. If it sells for Rs 10,000 only on Amazon, then imagine how much it would be sold at different places across India. Now the product that I sold that made me millions in sales

[16:12] sold that made me millions in sales was a thermometer, an infrared thermometer, which we sold in 2020 during COVID. Now look, this product has all the framework. But let me tell you two points first. Big Tam was addressing a very

[16:27] large market. Everyone wanted this product. And second, it was solving a problem. More points will come later. I will tell you in detail. Stay tuned with the video. Now, Amazon Best Seller is a very good method from

[16:40] where you can get the products which are in trend today. But I am going to But I am going to secret method, the name of which is TikTok.

[16:58] will help you in bringing unique new products to India which no one has seen in India till date. Meaning you will get early mover advantage. In the Facebook Ads Library, product is currently running on Facebook Ads. But here you are getting those products

[17:13] which probably Facebook Ads Library has never seen in India. So now let me show you how to use this tool from where you get TikTok winning products and all the information about them in one place. So

[17:27] look, I have come inside Calorita and as soon as I come inside Calorita, I can see all this information about which products are bringing what kind of business visible in dollars because this is happening in the US. But we have to bring those

[17:41] unique products from the US which never worked in India. Now I have play around with it. But I'm going to go up first and click on Products. by default it showed me the data of last 30 days that in the last 30

[17:56] days these are the products which are generating maximum revenue and have gone viral the most. For example, here is the first product that has generated sales of 2.5 million. And these 16 thousand units have been sold. This means that

[18:11] more than $1600 units have been sold in just the last 30 days. And next to this I can see even videos through which videos the sales have come here and which creator is making videos on it and what is the price of the product?

[18:27] How much is shipping on the product? Etsetra Etsetra. But this is the subsentence for you. Which are the products that are currently going viral in India i.e. US? Going viral on TikTok. Now I can come over here and play around.

[18:40] Like let me show you one more thing. Those who are from India will look at this thing carefully. Bella Son is also selling in the US. Selling its product for $22 and ranking in the top 10 within the US, it is generating significant sales. They are

[18:55] generating significant sales. They are generating around 1.75 million views in the last 30 days just on TikTok. Now I can play around here. I can play with the categories. Let's say I chose the category fashion. I applied. So

[19:08] now I will only see fashion products here. Or for example, I will have to submit this. Only then will you see it. So as soon as I submitted, I am seeing only fashion products. People are selling Vicks. People are

[19:22] selling glasses. Vicks is a huge fashion trend in the US. Especially among Black Americans. Now let me change the category again from here. I select the category from here. T T Beauty we did it. Pet Supply. For example, I want to

[19:36] start my own business inside my stomach. Like I selected pet. I submitted. which pet products are selling the most. These are the covers inside the vehicle that are selling and have sold well.

[19:53] dollar has become expensive. And if I click here, even I'll if I click here, even I'll show me the data and drill down. Like how much it sold for. Ok? What is the average selling price? How much does it sell for? And

[20:07] if I scroll down, I will know which creators on TikTok are selling it and for how much. Meaning you get all this information. Now just ask yourself whether this particular product can be in demand

[20:21] in India? Does this customer exist in India? And if his answer is yes. exist in India? And if his answer is yes. You got a unique product which India had probably never seen before. And when you launch it in India, you will

[20:34] make a lot of money because you will take advantage of the first mover advantage here. Unlimited product ideas mean you'll never run out. Now you have no reason why I am not getting ideas. All you have to do is just get

[20:49] All you have to do is just get calota. Now, with this method, you will find 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 products, but which of these products will actually become winning products for you ? This is the main game and

[21:02] from my last 10 years of experience, I have created a winning product framework which I am going to share with you now and by using that framework, you will be able to define whether whatever product you have found, can it become a winning product for me.

[21:15] So let's talk about that Winning Product Framework now. The first one is Mass Desire. If your product fulfills a mass desire, its chances of winning increase. For example, if you are

[21:31] trying to sell a beauty product, for example, makeup brush cleaner, this is a product that I have sold before. If he wants to clean a makeup brush, it is a mass desire. People want to keep their brushes clean. It's

[21:46] being a big dam. DAM stands for Total Addressable Market. Now the bigger the market your product has, the more chances there are that it will become a winning product. Because you will be able to sell it to more people. You will be able to sell for a longer time. You will be able to sell for a long time and you will have

[22:01] a very large audience size. The third thing solves a big problem. Now look, I sold the thermometer. That time it was a big problem because people had to find out whether someone had fever or not. And for that, the infrared thermometer was a very easy-

[22:16] to-use device. Was also addressing a big time. Because everyone had to do it and was also solving the problem. Because of the combination of these two things, it became such a big winner and such a winning product for me. Fourth

[22:28] thing, a lot of people make mistakes here and if you do not make any mistake here, your chances of winning will automatically become 5x 10x. High margin. There should be a good margin on your product. What does margin mean? Suppose I am

[22:43] getting a product for ₹10 then I will not sell it for ₹20. I will sell it for ₹100. If I am getting a product for ₹100 then I will try to sell it for ₹1000. If his personal value is that much. Now many people will say that this does not happen. A

[22:55] product worth ₹100 is not sold for ₹1000. Ask yourself, do the cold drinks you buy actually cost this much? But we buy it for 20 40 30 meaning it is available in different price points. But actually their cost is

[23:09] take an example of multiple products, when you see them from the factory till they reach us, there is a good margin in them. And why do you need margin? When you're running Facebook ads, a lot of your

[23:22] money is going into marketing. 30 to 50% of the cost is going to go into marketing. And this is where they make a mistake in dropshipping, they will say that friend, I will sell the goods worth ₹100 for ₹300 or ₹200 and even after the sale, they are incurring loss.

[23:36] Next light weight lighter. Look, if you are doing D2C, e-commerce , dropshipping, it means you are going to send the goods through courier. The lighter and smaller your product is, the more profitable it will be. will be. Because your

[23:49] weight will reduce. And the reduced weight means it is easy to ship. Will be packed in a small box. Shipping charges will be less. Next, choose a product that is not fragile. Meaning, don't be delicate. It should not be a product that breaks while in transit

[24:03] or you know that whenever I send, some pieces break. That is not a good business. Sell ​​a product that actually has no breakage issues. And this point is also very important. Do not sell products

[24:17] that contain batteries. Meaning, external cells work but the battery Meaning we did not choose such products. The reason is that when your products have if you are selling in India, you will still have to face regulations. Even if you are

[24:31] selling internationally, you will have to do it. So try to avoid battery operated products. Now you have got the products but how will you launch them? How will you sell them ? And to know this, click on the video shown on the right hand side

[24:45] and know how to sell the product.
