I Started a Dropshipping Store in 24 Hours Using ONLY AI

[00:00] Everywhere I look right now, someone's

[00:01] claiming AI drop shipping is printing

[00:04] money. 500 a day, thousands a month,

[00:06] completely passive.

[00:08] >> able to make hundreds of thousands of

[00:09] dollars with AI.

[00:10] >> I've made millions of dollars with drop

[00:12] shipping.

[00:12] >> More high six figures.

[00:13] >> 1.1 million dollars in drop shipping.

[00:15] >> Hundreds of dollars a day from this side

[00:17] hustle.

[00:18] >> 500 dollars a day working from home.

[00:20] >> 600,000 dollars this month alone.

[00:23] >> was that easy, I mean, come on. Everyone

[00:25] would already be rich. Look, I've

[00:27] already made millions with e-com, but

[00:29] I've also watched thousands of people

[00:31] lose money chasing shiny objects and

[00:33] getting sold on get rich quick schemes.

[00:36] So, in this video, instead of just

[00:37] talking to you about AI drop shipping,

[00:40] let's actually take this money making

[00:42] scheme and put it to the test over the

[00:44] next 24 hours. But since I'm not a

[00:46] beginner myself, it's only fair if we

[00:48] put some rules or restrictions on me

[00:51] here. Rule number one, this whole thing

[00:53] has to cost me less than a hundred

[00:55] dollars in expenses. Rule two, the store

[00:57] has to be built in less than 60 minutes.

[01:00] And rule three, the only tools that I

[01:02] can use will be my laptop and iPhone.

[01:05] And no, I can't use any of my personal

[01:07] connections or anything like that

[01:08] either. So, if this doesn't work under

[01:10] those three rules, then I'll admit

[01:13] beginners should not be touching [music]

[01:14] this business model. All right, so the

[01:16] timer starts now, and we've got three

[01:18] main things to do here. Firstly, we have

[01:19] to set up our store, then we'll be

[01:21] selecting our product, and then creating

[01:23] and launching ads. I think that's pretty

[01:24] much it. Now, for the first step,

[01:26] creating the store itself, this is where

[01:28] AI should be saving us a boatload of

[01:30] time. And this tool right here will

[01:32] generate you a Shopify store structure

[01:34] fast. No inventory, no shipping

[01:36] headaches. When somebody places an

[01:38] order, your supplier will fulfill it

[01:40] automatically when you set up your

[01:42] [music] store using this tool. And the

[01:43] process is dead simple, and it's not

[01:45] going to cost us anything apart from one

[01:48] dollar a month to actually be on

[01:50] Shopify.

[01:50] >> [music]

[01:50] >> So, if you want to follow along, just

[01:52] head down to the description and click

[01:53] on the first link, which is going to be

[01:55] the free AI store builder link. So,

[01:57] it'll take you to this page that you see

[01:58] me on right now. And after running

[02:00] through a couple of quick questions here

[02:02] and just connecting a couple of things,

[02:03] we're pretty much done. Which is so

[02:05] crazy cuz back when I first started drop

[02:07] shipping, to get store templates like

[02:09] these, it would cost at least 300 bucks

[02:12] plus all the apps and features that it

[02:13] already includes would be easily another

[02:15] $200 cuz you have to buy them

[02:17] separately. But now it's all free and

[02:19] it's all combined in one tool that

[02:21] completely does everything for you. And

[02:23] it already comes pre-installed with Auto

[02:25] DS as your supplier. All right. So, the

[02:27] store we got here is also fully loaded

[02:29] with some pretty good products [music]

[02:30] and everything's technically ready to go

[02:32] live. But again, if it were that easy,

[02:34] then everyone would be rich, surely. So,

[02:37] let's at least spend a little bit of

[02:38] time selecting our own product that we

[02:40] want to use for this challenge. [music]

[02:42] Now, you see, most beginners select

[02:44] their products and niches based on what

[02:46] they think they would buy. And [music]

[02:48] that's how you lose money because think

[02:50] about it. Just because you are here

[02:52] binging how to make money online

[02:54] challenges on YouTube, it doesn't mean

[02:56] that the majority of people watching

[02:58] YouTube wouldn't prefer to go watch a

[03:00] Mr. Beast video instead. Now, the same

[03:02] rule applies for people who are buying

[03:03] products. You don't just choose your

[03:05] product only based on what you already

[03:08] like. Instead, [music]

[03:09] you need a product pick the product

[03:10] based on what's selling well right now.

[03:12] Mass demand, impulse buyers, and endless

[03:15] product [music] angles, that's the main

[03:17] criteria that I'm looking for. Now, in

[03:19] the past, my go-to method has been to

[03:21] jump on TikTok and just start scrolling

[03:23] until I find viral products. Then I

[03:25] would go and check the Meta Ads library,

[03:27] which is free online put out by

[03:29] Facebook. And it basically allows you to

[03:31] scroll tons of different high-performing

[03:33] ads from all the different companies

[03:34] that are advertising on Facebook. I

[03:36] would make sure that there's other

[03:37] competitors selling that product well,

[03:39] and I would get a ton of inspiration

[03:41] from the ads that they are running. And

[03:43] look, that method still works great, but

[03:44] given our serious self-imposed time

[03:46] limit here, we need something better,

[03:48] something faster. Now, I'm still

[03:50] building e-commerce brands to this day,

[03:52] so my team and I have come up with

[03:53] [music] a special product research

[03:55] prompt. And all you have to do is feed

[03:57] this prompt into Chat GPT or Claude. All

[04:00] right, so here's what the prompt looks

[04:01] [music] like just in case you wanted to

[04:03] see. But literally all you have to do is

[04:05] copy all of it and just go ahead and

[04:07] paste it into [music] Chat GPT. And

[04:09] after using this prompt myself, I

[04:11] eventually narrowed down my search

[04:12] [music] to this one product that I

[04:14] thought would be perfect product for

[04:16] this challenge. Just to read you the

[04:17] context quickly of what you're feeding

[04:19] to Chat GPT, we're basically saying,

[04:21] "Hey Chat GPT, you're building a drop

[04:23] shipping product research bot with one

[04:25] singular purpose. You need to identify

[04:27] winning products and provide compelling

[04:29] evidence for why they will make money.

[04:31] The bot must provide working Auto DS and

[04:33] AliExpress links to actual products, not

[04:36] just some generic search instructions or

[04:38] incorrect URLs. [music]

[04:39] Each product recommendation must

[04:41] demonstrate thorough market research

[04:43] including viral momentum, emotional

[04:45] appeal, trend data, pain points, and

[04:47] profit validation." It's really crazy

[04:49] how far AI has come today. Not only do

[04:51] we give it the context, we can give it

[04:53] its role and make sure it's stepping

[04:55] into the right personality to actually

[04:57] find these products. This prompt

[04:58] basically ensures that you're going to

[05:00] get the most high-quality

[05:01] >> [music]

[05:01] >> data-backed trending winning products

[05:03] off of Chat GPT than you'd be able to

[05:06] with any other simple prompt. All right,

[05:08] so I've decided to call this the Velixa

[05:10] neck and shoulder massager. I know, I

[05:12] probably could have been a little more

[05:13] creative with the name there, but I

[05:14] think it works and it fits with sort of

[05:16] the clean and minimalistic approach I

[05:18] took landing page. So we have a few

[05:21] super clean AI product images here, and

[05:24] as you guys can see, you want a couple

[05:25] nice close-up shots of the product

[05:27] itself. Before and afters for these

[05:29] types of products tend to work very well

[05:31] as well, and then just simply showing

[05:33] somebody happy and using the product

[05:35] while giving a few benefit-driven points

[05:38] is usually what I like to go for for

[05:39] clean and simple product images like

[05:41] these. Now you can see I've also done a

[05:42] little upsell here, so if you buy two,

[05:44] you end up saving a little bit more

[05:46] money, and you'd be surprised at how

[05:47] many people are doing this. If people

[05:49] find a great product that they want,

[05:50] chances are they're thinking about

[05:52] buying one for their friend or family

[05:53] member as well. And so, even just

[05:55] offering bundles with more quantities of

[05:58] the same product is a great place to

[06:00] start for increasing your average order

[06:02] value. And you can even do this off the

[06:04] rip very easily on any product test.

[06:06] Now, down here I have a couple of

[06:07] different trust badges, the

[06:09] specifications. We went with a 14-day

[06:11] money-back guarantee, basically ensuring

[06:13] that if you're not 100% satisfied, you

[06:15] can simply ask for a refund and we'll

[06:17] send you your money back. Now, in terms

[06:18] of shipping, we just tell people when

[06:20] they can expect their order, and this is

[06:21] pretty standard with AutoDS. AutoDS has

[06:24] some of the best shipping in the game,

[06:25] and even though we say our current

[06:27] shipping times are between 5 to 9

[06:28] business days, it usually gets there a

[06:30] lot faster. But, we do this

[06:32] strategically so that the customers can

[06:33] feel even better when they get their

[06:35] product faster than they were expecting.

[06:37] Now, for the rest of the product page,

[06:38] we just have a couple of GIFs of the

[06:40] product in action and people enjoying it

[06:42] and using it. Instead of giving people

[06:44] all the technical specifications, we

[06:46] like to tell them the end outcome or the

[06:48] result of what happens when they buy our

[06:50] product, such as making their body

[06:52] calmer. When you focus on the benefits

[06:54] or the outcome instead of just selling

[06:56] the features and the technicalities,

[06:58] this is what really drives people to

[07:00] actually make a purchase. And then

[07:02] finally, for the last section, we have a

[07:03] few different AI videos of testimonials

[07:06] from previous happy customers. And I

[07:08] know, these aren't real, of course, but

[07:10] hey, you got to start somewhere if

[07:12] you're a brand new business owner. And

[07:13] down here, we just have a few frequently

[07:15] asked questions. I figured this out by

[07:17] asking ChatGPT what customers would

[07:19] naturally ask next before buying a

[07:21] product like this, and then just

[07:23] ensuring that people have all the

[07:24] information they need before making the

[07:27] purchase. Now, here's the AliExpress

[07:28] listing for the product. As you can see,

[07:31] it's $35 Canadian, which is about $25

[07:34] USD, and I plan on selling this thing

[07:36] for $70 USD. So, that gives me a super

[07:39] nice, almost 3x margin. [music] And the

[07:41] great thing about this product as well

[07:43] is it has such a high perceived value

[07:45] because it is kind of a tech [music]

[07:47] product. You know, it has an electronic

[07:49] component, you have to charge it, and

[07:51] people really assume that these types of

[07:53] products [music] are worth hundreds of

[07:54] dollars or more. So, the perceived value

[07:57] on it is so much higher than the actual

[07:59] cost that we're charging. [music] On top

[08:00] of that, we can see the AliExpress

[08:02] listing has tons of great reviews from

[08:04] thousands of different [music] people

[08:06] and over 5,000 units sold.

[08:08] >> Perhaps the most beautiful thing about

[08:09] AI drop shipping is that once you know

[08:12] what your product is going to be, in

[08:13] literally one click, you can paste it

[08:15] into AutoDS and it will show up on your

[08:17] store ready to go. On top of that, you

[08:20] don't even need to manage the product

[08:21] yourself. Orders will be double-checked

[08:23] for quality, shipped out on time,

[08:25] tracking emails will be sent to new

[08:26] customers, all using AutoDS's new AI

[08:29] features. It's pretty much a cheat code

[08:31] for starting drop shipping today, and

[08:33] it's basically like having multiple

[08:34] employees all working on your business

[08:36] except this will literally only cost you

[08:38] $1 a month to get started. So, yeah,

[08:40] AutoDS has completely revolutionized the

[08:42] drop shipping game, and the best part is

[08:44] that when you use Build Your Store, all

[08:46] of this automatically gets connected

[08:47] [music] to your Shopify store anyway.

[08:49] But, I'll leave another link in the

[08:50] description just in case you ever need

[08:52] to reconnect it to AutoDS. Now comes the

[08:54] fun part. We need to get people to get

[08:57] onto [music] our store and buy our

[08:58] product. And the best and fastest way to

[09:00] do that is with paid [music] ads. Not

[09:02] any kind of paid ads though, but AI UGC

[09:05] ads. Now, if you're wondering what in

[09:06] the hell I just said, or if that was

[09:08] even still English, all I'm saying here

[09:09] is that AI can now create fake humans to

[09:13] advertise for us. And honestly, it's

[09:15] getting a bit out of hand, but hey, at

[09:16] least you and I can profit from it. All

[09:18] right, so what I'll do now is I'll grab

[09:19] content straight from AutoDS of the

[09:21] [music] product, and I'll also check

[09:23] some other royalty-free sites on the

[09:24] internet. And then I'll fire up Ark Ads

[09:26] to create my fake human [music] to say

[09:28] nice things about the product. I'll be

[09:30] linking Ark Ads in the description so

[09:31] you can check them out, too. Now,

[09:33] obviously, there'll be some level of

[09:34] manual work here. We'll add some b-roll

[09:36] clips, some music, [music] and overall

[09:38] make these ads look nice. And this is

[09:40] really easy to do nowadays. You can

[09:42] literally use CapCut on your iPhone and

[09:44] follow the basic instructions when you

[09:46] download the app to edit the video how

[09:48] you wish in just a few clicks. But, if

[09:50] you've seen any of my previous

[09:51] challenges, you guys would know I'm

[09:53] super lazy with this stuff, so I

[09:54] actually already got my influencer

[09:56] girlfriend working on these ads for me.

[09:58] Don't worry, if you don't have an

[09:59] influencer girlfriend yet, the blueprint

[10:01] [music] is actually quite simple. Just

[10:02] make millions drop shipping, and then

[10:04] just drop ship your girl friend from

[10:05] some exotic part of the planet. I'm

[10:07] completely kidding, by the way. So, here

[10:08] are some ads that we just cooked up. All

[10:10] right, so now all we have left to do is

[10:12] to go ahead and launch these ads on the

[10:14] most goated ad platform ever, our hero

[10:16] and savior, Facebook. [music] Because

[10:18] nothing ever goes wrong on Meta. Now,

[10:20] I'm going to have the screen recording

[10:22] of me setting up these ads rolling just

[10:24] in case you want to see the exact

[10:25] structure of what we're doing, but

[10:27] basically I'm keeping things super

[10:29] broad, and I'm leaving Meta's algorithm

[10:31] to do all the heavy lifting for us.

[10:33] [music] Anyone who tries to sell you on

[10:35] some fancy or flashy ad strategy is

[10:37] completely [music] capping because in

[10:39] today's day and age, this platform has

[10:41] generated an unfathomable amount of data

[10:44] on its users, which means that it can

[10:45] target your ideal customers a lot better

[10:48] than you think that you can. So, if you

[10:50] want to spend some time optimizing

[10:52] before launching, definitely don't spend

[10:54] your time in the ads manager trying to

[10:56] make the perfect [music] ad strategy.

[10:57] Instead, just focus on making your ads

[11:00] better. Put more thought into the

[11:02] editing [music] process behind the

[11:03] creatives. Put more thought into the

[11:05] clip selection. This is what's going to

[11:07] take you farther and make you more

[11:09] money, rather than thinking there's some

[11:11] magic ad strategy that will make you

[11:13] millions. Just like that, everything is

[11:15] set up and ready [music] to go live at

[11:16] midnight tonight. So, with all that

[11:18] being said, I will see you guys in 24

[11:20] hours, well, 23 hours from now for the

[11:23] results. All right, guys, it's the next

[11:24] day, and when I woke up this morning, I

[11:27] honestly wasn't too pleased because I

[11:30] didn't see any results, but then

[11:32] bang, we just got a sale 2 minutes ago.

[11:36] As you can see, $70. So, looks like a

[11:39] single order just rolled through, but

[11:40] hey, off to a good start and we have a

[11:42] few more hours left. So, hopefully we

[11:44] can get another one or two in the door

[11:45] before this challenge ends. Quick

[11:47] update, it turns out the last sale that

[11:49] we got was literally 20 minutes into the

[11:52] ads going live. Sometimes, guys, the ads

[11:54] are in review for a long time on

[11:56] Facebook before they finally go live.

[11:57] So, the good news was we literally spent

[11:59] $9 to acquire that customer and now we

[12:02] have a double order that just came

[12:04] through. Check this out, $118

[12:08] double order. I I was expecting a lot

[12:10] more struggle because I just did a 7-day

[12:12] challenge and it went horribly. So, I'm

[12:14] looking forward to more smooth sailing

[12:16] and when I go over the final results

[12:17] this time, hopefully we can prove that

[12:19] drop shipping is not dead and in fact

[12:22] now is literally the best time and the

[12:24] easiest time to start. Well, just like

[12:27] that, the challenge is officially over.

[12:30] But look, before I go over the results,

[12:31] listen, the money we made in this

[12:32] challenge, it won't knock your socks

[12:34] off. It's not exactly life-changing or

[12:36] anything, but man, it was fun and it

[12:38] takes me back to when everything first

[12:41] started for me with drop shipping. The

[12:43] only difference today is that with the

[12:44] AI tools that we have available, things

[12:47] are 10 times easier and you saw how

[12:49] quickly I set everything up. And [music]

[12:51] on top of that, the fact that we

[12:52] actually made money in less than 24

[12:55] hours should give you all the proof of

[12:57] concept that you need to get out there

[12:58] and at least try this for yourself. And

[13:00] I get it, this isn't exactly passive

[13:02] income, but it is leveraged income. You

[13:05] know, we set this up once [music] and

[13:07] the money rolled in while I was going

[13:08] about my day. And the AI tools that we

[13:10] used, you know, they don't replace doing

[13:13] the work [music] itself or even the

[13:14] thinking behind it, but they certainly

[13:16] help us get everything rolling way

[13:18] faster. So, with that being said, we

[13:20] brought in a grand total [music] of

[13:22] $188.98.

[13:24] We sold three units and for the [music]

[13:27] cost of the units plus shipping that's

[13:29] about $75. Now the fees and the

[13:31] subscriptions so the $1 a month for

[13:33] Shopify and AutoDS adds up to about $5

[13:36] and actually on the ads we only spent

[13:38] $57. So [music] we actually spent a

[13:41] little bit less than that $100 budget to

[13:43] even make these three sales. So all in

[13:45] all total revenue $189 total expenses

[13:49] $137.

[13:50] We actually came out in the green $52

[13:53] and I'd say that given the time that we

[13:55] had and the restrictions that I put on

[13:56] myself I'd consider this a success. Now

[13:59] if you guys want to see a part two where

[14:01] I scale this properly, you know, more

[14:02] time [music]

[14:03] more traffic, more testing, I'm happy to

[14:05] do it for you but only if you guys want

[14:08] to see reality, not hype. Because I can

[14:10] almost guarantee you that, you know,

[14:12] we're not going to make tens of

[14:14] thousands of dollars overnight and if I

[14:16] do this for a lot longer we will

[14:17] struggle. will go wrong but, you

[14:19] know, just maybe if we don't give up we

[14:21] can make [music] some money and some

[14:23] bigger money next time around. So Now I

[14:25] also said earlier in this video that if

[14:27] you made it to the end I'd give you a

[14:28] gift. So if you go to the description

[14:30] and you check the last link you'll see a

[14:32] resource pack including the winning

[14:33] product prompts, build your store,

[14:35] discount codes and everything else we

[14:37] used to make this challenge possible.

[14:39] And also if you happen to enjoy watching

[14:41] me struggle I did attempt another

[14:42] [music] 7-day AI dropshipping challenge
