[00:01] build an entire profitable drop shipping store in just 24 hours? Well, that is my exact plan because Claude is going to pick the product, build the store, make

[00:13] the ad creatives, run them, and hopefully make me a profit in just 24 that much, I'm going to make this interesting. If I don't get a sale in the first 24 hours, I will give away $50

[00:26] money on you. Do not let me down. Now, place? Because the other day I was scrolling through FastMoss looking at some viral TikTok Shop products. And I noticed that supplements kept ranking

[00:38] again and again as the most viral products on the TikTok Shop. But rather else, I wanted to make my own drop shipping store and around the supplement minute, it's 2026. Why am I doing everything myself? Let's get AI to do it

[00:54] challenge. 24 hours to build a profitable drop shipping store without my intervention. Okay, the time is 12:15. The 24 hours starts now. Okay, so looking through FastMoss, I found that obviously supplements were performing

[01:08] there's Top Lux Magnesium Complex, which is working well. So, straight over to Claude, I'm asking for the best products to drop ship in the supplements niche based on trendiness and virality. [music] So, I've connected Claude to the

[01:20] Verlo MCP, which is an API that scans TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram >> So, Verlo's API key is now going to search supplement-related content across what is trending. Some people say this is cheating, but I'm still technically

[01:34] using Claude as Verlo's API can be plugged directly into Claude via to search through TeamDrop to find me a supplier. The reason I recommend TeamDrop is because it's got access to the largest marketplace in China, and

[01:47] the best rates, you get reliable suppliers, which is important for a drop your Shopify store directly over to TeamDrop, and it's absolutely free to Drop for a while now. It's my trusted supplier. I'll link it down below so you

[02:02] Drop, I search for where it says supplements, and then it's going to pull possible rate. So, the funniest thing when I scroll down through the supplements, this magnesium complex, which is a top-selling product for

[02:14] supplements in the US, is on Team Drop for less than three bucks. And as I selling for over $10 per unit. That is a three to four x markup. So, there's a humans and pets, and the rates are really good. Fantastic prices. I'm going

[02:28] going to work really well, but the important part is the branding and packaging. Okay, I'm going to go for these wellness gummies. I like gummies as a selling option because these are easier to take than pills. Plus, I think

[02:40] whilst I wait for Claude to suggest the viral angles to create content around, let me start by actually making a store and building it. So, of course, I headed The brand name is called Neura as suggested by Claude. Then I actually

[02:54] started to use GPT-2 image to create the branding for me, since right now is the best possible model. Yes, I know it's not technically Claude AI, but I did use and it is still AI, so I'm going to include it within this challenge. I

[03:09] uploaded Rise as an example because I want to make that same sort of mushroom style supplement brand here. And after a bit of prompting with the free version of Chat GPT, I got both a logo for Neura and the actual packaging as well. So,

[03:21] this is the actual branding for my product. Delicious student-focused looks pretty good, and it appeals to my target market, which is going to be students is because I know when I was studying at university, I always was

[03:36] procrastinating. And I feel like this is a good target market to go for within it helps that Claude recommended this as a good target market for these mushroom-based gummies. Okay, after I've got my logo and my packaging image, I

[03:49] to generate me some prompts, I can plug into GPT's image generator to make me some brand images [music] like I can include on the website, etc. And ChatGPT generated a collage of them and they

[04:01] look really good. So, all six of these images will be used across the website, same branding throughout, really [music] top quality. Okay, so the brand name is store and I'm not going to create the store from scratch. I'm going to of

[04:14] store for me. So, what I did is download Visual Studio Code, which can be plugged directly into Claude Code and it enables us to make our Shopify store through just typing prompts. So, I asked Visual Studio Code to pair with my Shopify

[04:29] account, which it did, had to go through some confirmations and 2FA to approve this. And then once it [music] was done, I was able to then prompt out a store. So, I uploaded example stores around the supplements niche to Visual Studio Code

[04:42] store that's similar to this." And of course, making sure everything was on brand with the color scheme, etc. And in literally 15 to 20 minutes, this store Doesn't look like any of the templates that Shopify currently do. It looks like

[04:56] it's own built store, but looks very clean and it [music] fits the the demographic we're going for, which is university students that want to stop procrastinating and have some kind of safe, functional base mushroom gummy

[05:08] And the good part, every single part of the store was functional. So, if I work, add the product to the cart, and then someone can check out. So, in about 20 to 30 minutes, I built a fully functioning store with Claude Code.

[05:20] we've got the product and the supplier from Team Drop. The last thing we need Meta Ad Library and one of the biggest accounts across Instagram and Facebook is Lad Bible. And their posts that do really well are like these trending sort

[05:34] of news formats. So, I'm going to take that format and apply it over to my ads. bunch of prompts I can feed into GPT Image 2 to create me similar style ads but around my product. And you can see GPT-2 did exactly that, creating the

[05:50] same sort of trending style graphic for our ads. This new supplement has exams. So, this is the sort of ads I'm it gets my target audience interested in the product. I've then, of course, asked

[06:03] the ad as well, the primary text, headline, and description. So, the last create a new ad campaign. So, then of to optimize as our event goal. And now we're going to run our ads. So, in total

[06:17] we have seven different static ad variations that are uploaded to Meta. to deliver, and then after that we will start running ads on our store and see if we can get that sale within 24 hours. So, that whole process only took me

[06:31] about one or two hours from starting idea to now having ads running to our functional store. I'm going to check back tomorrow, and hopefully we've got a been 24 hours. Let's go through the results. So, when I open up the Meta ad

[06:45] library, you're going to see a bunch of website purchases and an incredible cost per result. In reality, this isn't actually realistic because what ended up optimized and it was firing for the wrong conversion events. Because in

[06:58] reality, we actually got four orders, not the bunch that are on here. Now, still four orders in 24 hours is not bad whatsoever. In fact, that's really good course, Team Drop being the incredible supplier they are, automatically

[07:10] fulfilled the orders for me on their end because they're synced up to my Shopify store. So, combining Claude code with Team Drop for the supplier and product sourcing, with GPT-2 to generate the images, and Shopify, across three to

[07:23] four tools and softwares, I built an entire full suite drop shipping store extra big shout out to Team Drop for this because there's a lot of ways you can fulfill product orders nowadays in the world of drop shipping. Most people

[07:37] reason I really like Team Drop is because not only is it free to sign up you can sign up as well. But you can literally search up products amongst the largest online shopping platform in China. So, it literally gives you access

[07:51] to the Chinese market with a dedicated account manager and one-click authorization means you can fulfill the orders to your Shopify store as soon as free to sign up, it's fulfilling the orders for me, it's a massive

[08:04] any products I'm after that I want to drop ship. Plus, when you look at the The reason I wanted to make a big point of talking about Teamdrop is because people will say, "Okay, Claude Code was the brains of this, Shopify of course

[08:18] was the hosting, but really Teamdrop is what knitted this all together." Because there's no point me coming up with the store and using AI to generate it if I have to manually fulfill every single order, look out and find a supplier

[08:30] The fact Teamdrop can just be that perfect product sourcing element and They only take a cut when you order the product and fulfill it. It just makes it puzzle. So, yeah, leave a comment down below if I inspired you to start your

[08:45] I'll link down below all the websites and softwares I utilize in this video can source them. These will be affiliate links to let you know, so they come at with discounts and coupons for you, but they do give me a slight cut from the

[09:00] merchant side, not from your side. And it helps me reinvest, make more videos make money online journey. And earlier this year I did another drop shipping and see how I did, you've got to see the video right beside me. I'll see you

[09:13] video right beside me. I'll see you there.
