This dropshipping site uses the solution based on the platform of AliPlugin. However there is no possibility to build dropshipping sites with AliPlugin, only affiliate ones.

  If you wnat to earn with AliExpress as affiliate you can buy AliPlugin (there are 3 built-in WP themes with it). As for dropshipping plugin, there is no such plugin now.

Any recommendation for some quality list brokers ? I've been in contact with Exact Data (they have a lot of negative reviews) and BUYER ZONE - however Im based in Europe and they claim they don't do business with non-US rezidents.

Yes, exactly. After I get an order I go to AliExpress (using my affiliate link to get additional profit from affiliate commission) and order the same product entering shipping details of my customer.

Question, it only lets you add 5 Addresses, do you delete them and make new ones after each order?

So you are in essence double dipping on the money you making? Making money via the difference in price your site is selling at vs ali express, and then additionally earning the affiliate revenue?

Awesome Yaros. Just get a feeling that the upper part of the site (top menu, logo, category) looks a bit crowded. just my feeling.
I've been much into wholesale and recently trying to exploit aliexpress for dropshipping. Would be great if you can share your themes and plugin (at a price of course) one day.
Good luck man.

So what makes your plugin a 'dropshipping' one - is it that you request the supplier to not include aliExpress branding?
Not a bad looking site, perhaps get some better images, they look a bit washed out - people respond immediately to graphics.
Good job!

Good job!

Connecting shopping cart, gateways, variations, shipping options, etc. - make my plugin a 'dropshipping' one.

No, I did not make any requests. Here there are two options. If a seller is good and reliable you can contact him personally asking to ship the item to necessary address without mentioning AliExpress. Another way (I am going to use myself) is when I order a product via my own AliExpress account (using my affiliate link). I enter shipping address of my customer, but contact email is mine. So, all emails regarding the purchase and delivery I will get to my personal email. In my turn I have prepared my own branded emails for my clients.

As for images, the plugin takes them and imports automatically, but I can edit them. Thank you for a valuable recommendation.

While putting the finishing touches and preparing my site for the market, I would like to share with you my experince and recommendations regarding choosing a niche for such websites.

How to find a good niche for AliExpress drop shipping store?

1. Popularity and Trend.

Choosing a niche for your drop shipping website you should focus only on products that are always in demand and have positive or at least stable trend.

Go to https://www.google.ru/trends to get better idea about selected niche. For example, we are going to build a store that will sell 'Harry Potter' products for Harry Potter fans.

We can observe a small decrease since 2004 but the overall picture looks good, there are no dramatic falls and the trend is rather stable. So, Harry Potter niche seems interesting to me for a drop shipping site.

Or let's take 'GoPro accessories' as an example:

Here we see the trend that is increasing year by year starting from 2011. This is a good niche to be taken and tried.

Below you see the niche ('Nokia') that is not worth trying:

2. Competition.

It is impossible to find any popular niche with a good trend without competition of course. Before launching your drop shipping store it is strongly recommended to search for similar web stores in the Internet. If you find many good sites offering the same products (especially by good prices), probably you should think about another niche and products, which are generally more hard to find. Obviously, there is no point to create another usual "Shoes", "Car parts", "Gardening" stores. It's better to take some narrow niche and try to be creative.

3. AliExpress Stock.

Before starting building your web store, make sure there are enough categories and products available in the niche. Go to AliExpress.com and enter necessary keywords in search bar. In my case with 'Harry Potter' everything looks fine.

4. Prices.

Generally, AliExpress offers very competitive (often unbeatable) prices for many products. However, I would always recommend making a small research about the products' prices you are going to sell on your site. Ideally, AliExpress prices should be twice lower the prices of your competitors.

You should pick at least 5-10 products in the selected niche and find best prices for these items on AliExpress. Then go to search.aol.com, enter shopping section and search for the same products in order to compare their prices with prices at AliExpress.

Let's take an example.

I found such Harry Potter Scarf on AliExpress for $9,05/piece.

Then I went to search.aol.com and found the same item sold by other sellers.

As you can see the prices are much higher. In my opinion, it's a good item that is worth adding to my store.

to be continued...

Really appreciate this breakdown! As someone just getting started it is VERY helpful! Glad I was on the right track with using the Google Trends to see how things are doing. I'm basically self-teaching myself everything so these informative posts help!

Thanks!

Actually, you are comparing knock offs on aliexpress to officially licensed products which is why you are finding them so much cheaper. I am an authorized dealer for ELOPE that owns the license for Harry Potter accessories and they have set MAP pricing which you are bypassing by selling the knock offs.

Anyone else thinking of doing this sort of thing I would suggest you look for non-branded, non-licensed items instead of knock offs as sites selling counterfeit and knock off items can be shut down without notice and many manufacturers are now going after aliexpress vendors and those selling their items. Paypal and other payment processors are also shutting down accounts for selling counterfeits - I know someone that was shut down because of "designer" handbags and dresses that were counterfeit.

So if you are looking for a scaleable, sustainable business, I personally would NOT go with this sort of niche.

The reason he is so successful because of the copyrighted and licensed material. I'm surprised the website is still up. I get so angry when people sell knockoffs because people would rather pay a cheaper price for a knockoff than the officially licensed products I sell, but he obviously doesn't care because he is making so much money.

Actually the reason he is so successful is the homework he did. Not because of knockoffs.

If you reverse engineered his work, you'll notice that he started out his brand way before he starts selling. He creates a brand / following before even selling a single product. (Which he didn't mention on this thread

)
He did his research on his niche. And he package his brand.

Hello,

I want to ask if there are people out there that use dropshippers outside their home country for 3rd party selling?

I am based in Srilanka, but I want to resell US products from aliexpress. Its unable to alccess paypal from my country so I registered with 2checkout (srilankan account).

I bet there are many people outside USA who do this legally without issues, any feedback is welcome.

I am also interested in your dropshipping plugin. Will you be updating this thread when it is available for purchase?

Also.. I was wondering if you are ordering your customer's order via your affiliate link...does the Aliexpress supplier include an invoice of any kind showing the original price (what you paid)?

I ordered a few things from Aliexpress about a week ago. I will be paying attention to this specifically.

Thank you.

Yes, I will be updating this thread and Iwill let you know if I release this plugin.

The point is that I order necessary item (that was bought form my site by my client) from my own AliExpress account giving only shipping address of my customer. So, all the information regrading the price comes directly to my personal eamil.

I am not sure when I can release a dropshipping version of the plugin. There are a lot of things needed to be optimized before pushing it to the market. It searches and imports products well from AliExpress but there is still much manual work need to be done in order to build such dropshipping store.

I think in nearest feature I will offer a custom dropshipping store service and then will release a dropshipping plugin.

Dropshipping service offers a development of a custom dropshipping store.

With dropshipping plugin you can build a dropshipping store yourself.

But I am not sure when I can launch it. First of all I need be sure myself if these sites have potential.

  You can ask them to not include an invoice. However i noticed the value of the item is written on the shipping labels which the customers do see.
  
  You can probably ask to send it as a gift or if the customers complaints tell them it is to avoid import taxes?
  
  What is your take on this?

  I order alot from aliexpress and have never had an invoice included. The value is sometimes written on the package but many times it is lower than the value of the product for customs.
  
  You can certainly ask the store when you order something to be shipped not to include the cost or ask them to mark it as a gift. They are usually more than willing to accommodate.
  
  I do think customers are willing to wait the longer shipping times because of the great prices and the free shipping. Just let them know upfront first.

Shipping time is my main concern also and I know there were quite many complaints about AliExpress regarding this issue before. But as far as I know many things have been improved recently at AliExpress including shipping times. I spoke with many dropshippers who work successfully with AliExpress and they told me that they don't have big troubles with shipping, especially when we deal with not expensive products. Most people are ready to wait when thay get a free shipping option. Thtat's why I am going to sell only items that are shipped worldwide for free. Later, I will probably add other shipping options.

How to choose categories and products?

To find best categories for my drop shipping site I use Google Adwords.

With the help of Keyword Planner I usually start checking different niche related keywords targeting all locations and English language.

For example, I take “Harry Potter wands” and see the results.

In spite of the fact that this keyword has high competition its search volume looks rather good.

One by one I select 10 main categories and add them to my site.

Among these 10 categories I also select 3-4 most popular ones to add them to the slider.

After my categories are ready I go to AliExpress.com to find necessary products.

To find the best and most demanded products I filter all products by orders and pay special attention to feedback score.

I get product ID of a desired item and add it to the plugin that automatically finds the product and imports all necessary information (images, description, parameters, variations, etc.) in my site.

Or I can make all the process (search, filter and upload products) work through the plugin.

to be continued...

Some SEO aspects:

1. Before choosing main categories for my site, I use Google Adwords to find good keywords in selected niche. As a result all names of my categories are in line with chosen keywords. (For example: category name “Harry Potter wands” = “Harry Potter wands” keyword that has 40,500 monthly searches according to Google Adwords.

2. I am using Senuke software for social bookmarking. It helps to index site well and get stable pages on Google.

3. I write and place a unique article (3000 symbols) on the home page above footer.

4. I write and place a unique article with necessary keywords (2000 symbols) on each category page. For each article I make unique title placing it in H2 tag. It is important that this title (H2) should be different from the name of the category (H1).

5. Using special software (usually WebSite Auditor) I do SEO audit for all my pages to find out if:
- I have any errors in the code;
- robots.txt created and setup properly;
- there are any pages with 404 error;
- a site has any broken links;
- all meta tags are written correctly;
- all pages are mobile friendly.

If not could see more than a few problems selling these goods from your website.

What about copyright of products which are offered at AliExpress? I doubt all the sellers have any permissions from Warner brothers.

Yes but that is their problem.

This will become your problem if they catch you selling stuff through your website.

Not worth the risk in my opinion - but if you are up for it go for it. Only pointing out the dangers.

The dangers are substantial. All Warriors should be aware of the risks in importing copyright or trademarked products. The risks are:

It is illegal.
Prosecution leading to fines and in serious cases - imprisonment.
Confiscation of the goods.
Possibility of being sued into bankruptcy by the legal brand owner.
At the very least, Customs will flag your name and address so that all future shipments to your address will be delayed for thorough inspection.

Maybe I should add that Aliexpress is as notorious as its parent Alibaba for scammers operating there.

I am also preparing two more dropshipping sites to try other niches as well.

As for scammers I select products and suppliers thoroughly and have not got any problems in last 2 years working with AliExpress.

Hi Yaros,

Thanks for your info.
How do you know which sellers offer free worldwide shipping in Aliexpress?
I see that most of them offer free shipping to USA but when you shoose a little country, like Bolivia, it can change to $98 with DHL.

It could be a big problem if someone buys the product from Bolivia.

Advice please.

I noticed how your Shipping and Delivery page is copied almost word for word from the ones that appear on Yaros' websites. You couldn't at least spin it a bit and change some sentences? Yaros hasn't shared his websites with us for you to copy. And if your going to enter the same niche as him (GOT) at least make your website better than his.

how did you make the website? did you just use the aliexpress plugin?

im curious to see how well you will do.

how long does it take for shipping to the US? i feel like it may take 20 business days. and you'll get a lot of complaints

Thank you!

I have x2 prices, so I get 10$ from an item sold for $20.

The site is based on special plugin that works on AliExpress API. I developed this plugin and the theme from scratch myself.

The delivery time is my main concern also. That's the reason I took not expensive items for my site which have a free shipping option. In this case buyers are usually ready to wait more, but let's see if I come across with any problems regarding shipping items.

Hey Yaros,

I recently started my site FiveTwo Shop – Best Deals for Shopping Online (still definitely needs some work)

And I would like to implement this review module that you have. Is this up for grabs whether it be a freebie or for sale?

Also how much was it to get each of the trust seals on your site?

Thanks,

No, there are no any signs of AliExpress and prices on packages. However there is an address but in Chinese. Anyway you can always send comment with your order asking about special requirements.

Wow.. your site is very informative.. looks like a store with hundred months running over..

there's no one will know that your store is just a new..

by the way, i can't wait for the release.. and also.. i suggest you.. make a shipping module.. it would be great if this dropshipping plugin can work with WooCommerce, so we can set the our "Extra Profit" from shipping cost..

you may set the flat-rate shipping around $3-$5/order.. or anything else.. i learn it from ebay when i use dropshipping chineese product and sell it on eBay.

please let me know when your plugin is ready..

i'm happy to buy it..

First of all, I am very satisfied with organic traffic coming to my site. It means that all the hard work done for on-site SEO was not pointless and now starts bringing results.

Secondly, I am starting the promotion, finally!

And I decided to begin with social media marketing. Today I would like to share with you my strategy of creating social media presence for my business and tell you how I was preparing my social media pages for WorldofHarry.com website.

1. I registered social pages for my dropshipping website on 5 main social networks:

Facebook

Twitter

Google+

Pinterest

Instagram

2. I designed avatars and covers for my pages:

Facebook: Avatar - 180x180, cover 851x315
Google +: Avatar 250x250, cover 928 * 523
Twitter: Avatar 250x250, cover 520x260
Pinterest: Avatar 250x250 (the main part of your image should fit into a circle)
Instagram: Avatar 250x250

3. I created two descriptions of my webstore:

a. First short description (max. 160 symbols) that suits Twitter, Google+ and Facebook.
b. Second description (several sentences) with more attractive details about my business.

First one: Find everything you ever wanted on World of Harry!

Second one: Harry Potter fans! Here you can find all sorts of Harry Potter costumes, clothing, posters, stuff for gadgets, and other things. For adults and kids. For holidays, costume parties, and cosplay.

4. I completed the creation of social pages:

• Placed avatars and covers
• Added descriptions
• Setup links
• Confirmed website on Pinterest
• Created Call to Action button on Facebook:

5.I integrated «Pin It» button to my products' images on the site. To do it, you need to generate a code using widget editor here https://business.pinterest.com/ru/wi..._pin_it_button and place it on your site.

6. I uploaded created social pages to special software for future auto posting.

For Facebook, Google+ and Twitter I use HootSuite (https://hootsuite.com)
For Instagram I use OnlyPult (https://onlypult.com)

7. I selected 10 top products from my store and published first 10 posts on Facebook and Google+.

It works great when you combine different product images and use such wording like:

Which you like best?
Which one is your favorite?
Love them?
Different styles, wanna try?
Lovely?
Nice, right?
Which one do you prefer?

Example: https://www.facebook.com/14936370509...e=1&permPage=1

On Pinterest I am posting using following way:

a. Find necessary product on my site
b. Click button «Pin It»,
c. Get a new window to put a title, price, hashtags and then publish it.

Example of a published pin: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/345018021431368402/

In Twitter I create a standard post (max. 140 symbols): product title + price + link + image. If I have some more space left I also add hashtags.

Example: https://twitter.com/world_of_harry/s...40752462704640

In Instagram I create posts with a product title + link to this product (shorten with the help of https://goo.gl/ service) + Price + Free Shipping Worldwide! + hashtags (about 10-20). Hashtags are important, especially for Instagram and Pinterest. I usually use these services to select the best hashtags (Iconosquare - All Instagram online or Websta - the best Instagram web viewer online (Webstagram)).

Example: https://instagram.com/p/6XUWqWjyaG/

8. To promote my social pages and give them a boost on the beginning stage, I am using following software:

For Instagram - SocialHammer
For Pinterest - FollowLiker
For Twitter - Twidium

9. Using automated software mentioned in p. 6, I am going to publish 2 posts a day, using such templates like:

[attractive text or question]
Price
Buy now - [product link]
Image (in high resolution)

10. I am also going to start a paid advertising campaign on Facebook:

Budget: $50

Targeted countries: English-speaking countries + Europe + Asia

There are many other things to consider of course, but I tried to make a long story short. If you have any questions or have some valuable recommendations, please feel free to contact me!

I must say that your marketing strategy is the key to making sales. This is very VITAL for anyone looking to replicate your dropshipping model... As far as I'm concerned, anyone can have a dropshipping website, but that doesn't authomatically means 'sales'. It's not about any theme or plugin, but about how you present (strategies) the website to the targeted audience. Everyone with an ecommerce site should replicate your strategy at first, before blessing any SEO company financially. Just my thoughts.

Brilliant words! Thank you. I have a lot of requests daily asking to sell the plugin. Many people think that it is not just a plugin but a money-making machine. But, it's wrong belief.

It all depends on the niche and products you choose to sell, on how your site is optimized for users, on marketing strategies, customer support and many other things. The plugin is just making your business easier and save your time.

Thanks for the updates. You have built a very professional e-commerce store. BUT - it is built on a foundation of copyright infringement and trade mark violations. All your images, all your products violate the license holder's rights. It is only a matter of time before you start receiving cease and desist notices. I'm not judging your work, just pointing out that you may have built a very nice - but very short-term business. The very methods you are using to drive traffic -and buyers - will also drive lawyers representing the rights holders to your door. I don't know about you, but I don't want that kind of attention.

I agree with you. From the one hand, may be it is not the best niche to choose and it really breaks some rules. From the other hand, I will not be very dissapointed if someday I get a complaint from Warner Bros and my hosting company will suspend my site. It is just an experiment for me that I am sharing with you. My other dropshipping site built for other ('good') niche is on its way. WorldofHarry is created to try my new platform, test my theme and give trial runs to my marketing strategies. And I must admit that my Harry site has already sailed through many of these tasks with flying colors!

I totally agree. Yaros might be casual, indeed careless, in his approach to this issue, but for the sake of the large number who have been viewing this thread it is extremely important that these warnings be noted.

I suggest to other readers that they should also have a look at my post #41 on Page 1.

The comment by Yaros: "I will not be very dissapointed if someday I get a complaint from Warner Bros", in his reply to your post, is too casual to go without comment. First contact from Warner Bros could be notice of litigation! That could happen if they want to make an example of someone to act as a warning to others. Even the cost of defending a claim can be enough to bankrupt a lot of people, so even if Yaros chooses to ignore warnings I hope others will take not.

Once again, I do understand the risk and I agree that may be it was not the best idea to choose such niche. Furthermore, when I applied for 2CO to connect credit cards payment option to my Harry site I was declined because of copyright issues (however I successfully solved these issues with Payza).

So, I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone building dropshipping websites that sell copyright products. I am doing it at MY OWN RISK.

And I am not going to defend any claims. If I get a notice of litigation I will just close the site. That's it.

On this thread I would like people sharing solutions, strategies and ideas about dropshipping business with Alibaba/AliExpress which can be applied to any products.

Meanwhile, got some more orders. Let's see now how fast the products will be delivered and if I get any complaints and refunds.

Hi there great thread re:dropshipping. Quick question why cant you use products from Aliexpress that are Harry Potter (licenced) related? dont the china suppliers need premission too? So we shouldnt use a Minion soft toy either. Are there only a number of official places to buy merchandise from? Then why is aliexpress not getting those stores closed if they are not aloowed to sell harry potter stuff either. Are they to big for Warner Bros to takedown? I wanna make a coulple of bucks on the internet. even Zazzle, redbubble, Etsy have copyrighted products on their site. Whats going on!!

Hi Yaros, I am trying to learn the Aliexpress Plugin. I have several questions: Aliexpress or Alibaba are companies from China. However, this Aliexpress Plugin is a Dubai company? How does this work --- we buy the plugin and post stuff on our website, when somebody sees it and clicks on the link from our website and finalized a purchase, then we earn the commission. Is that right? However, i see in one of your conversation that you have to make the order for your client at Ali Express... This I do not understand, and am confused. How is commission earned? what is their form of payment for the commission to their affiliate? I would appreciate your response please.

Aliexpress belongs to Alibaba Group Company based in China. Aliplugin does not belong to AliExpress/Alibaba. It is a WordPress plugin that works with AliExpress API and allows creating sites for earning with AliExpress affiliate program. It works as you described.

You are confused because on this thread we discuss a dropshipping business model but not an affiliate one.

I have 2 options earning with AliExpress:

1. AliExpress affiliate program. I registered with Portals Program and now building affiliate stores with the help of AliPlugin. For each purchase generated from my affiliate sites (it means a user visits my site, redirected to AliExpress via my affiliate link and completes purchase at AliExpress.com) I get from 5% to 50% commission.

2. AliExpress Dropshipping. I decided to create a dropshipping website to work with AliExpress. When a user buys from my site directly, I order the same item at AliExpress with the shipping details of my customer, keeping the difference between my and seller's price. AliExpress sends the item directly to my customer. So, it is another project that does not deal with AliExpress affiliate program. However, since my dropshipping site is using the platform of AliPlugin, I can order necessary products on AliExpress (to send to my customers) using my affiliate links to get commission as an additional bonus to my dropshipping income.

Hi Yaros,

i just noticed that, aliexpress doesn't accept payment through PayPal.. how's the way you order your customer item on aliexpress? did you withdraw it first then purchase through credit card or something?

anyway, you are doing awesome.

Excellent thread and my very first to read, I love the SEO perspective

. Only trying to help here, but I own a ticket company and get notices all the time about little pictures that don't have any sort of trademark, like a stadium, that I have to take down. I cannot imagine what they would do here without the rights to sell. I do believe you are allowed to sell such items if the manufacturer had the right to create them, but you cannot use images with your store name like that. You have to just think in terms of morals here and that Warner bros spent a lot of time, money and talent to create Harry Potter so its really best not to capitalize on such without having reseller rights.

Yaros,
You are smart guy!!!

Used to be a seller in Aliexpress

,and an international trade,some advice you may need consider.

1.The supply chain of buy from Aliexpress may not stable.If the seller out of stock or some other problem that you influence your business.So I think buy from aliexpress is just an occasional way for drop-shopping.

2.If you are good at promotion,try AliExpress Affiliate may be better.

3.If you want a long term business,first try on Aliexpress is good,but meanwhile you need bring up some stable and trustful supplier from China.

Hope the advice helps you!

Well,TaoBao is very convenient.And I think the supplier in Taobao is stable than Aliexpress.Well the only problem is it is difficult use Taobao as dropshopping for foreigner.Because Taobao seller usually do not shipping to other country.And most of seller may difficult while using English.

Good luck with the 'dropshipping' model but I don't that it is better than an affiliate site that is on 'auto-pilot' and I can go for long walks each day without worry I lost an order because I did not return a message from a potential buyer in a timely manner.

I have studied the experience of some successful AliExpress dropshippers and decided to take a narrow niche that I think will be easier to promote.

I made a research and selected the most popular products in this niche with the wholesale price not more than $20 and with worldwide free shipping option only. Then I increased prices on my site at about twice the standard cost.

Another feature of this site is that the plugin imports only products that participate in AliExpress affiliate program. So, if I get any order I will be able to purchase necessary item on AliExpress using my affiliate link to get additional 5%-50% commission.

I am going to start promoting the site soon; however some improvements are still needed.

It would be great if you could review my site, give some recommendations, ideas, share your experience or just wish me Good luck!

Good luck! Keep us updated with your progress!

  So what you are saying is that you actually created a website, with payment gateway and all which receives order. That i understand.
  
  Here's my question, which you can choose to not answer if it's too private:
  
  1. Do you use the pictures from the manufacturers side (aliexpress)?
  2. How about the description etc? Do you import them in bulk or choose it one by one?

1. I am using the pictures available on AliExpress.
2. My plugin has a bulk and selective import options. I prefer using a selective one to preview an item first before importing.

Doing social media marketing for My 'Harry' site for the last two weeks, I found out one good strategy. Actually I knew about it before, but now I got added evidence that it works on my own experience.

ADVICE: When you are promoting your dropshipping site using social media marketing, don't forget to post ALL your products on your social pages which connected to your site.

Like here on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/World-Of-Ha...7933/timeline/

If you follow this advice your products can be easily found on Google on top positios.

Let's take an example!

I am searching on Google for one of my keywords: 'Lord Voldemort Wall Sticker' and find this:

As you can see from this screenshot, AliExpress is not on the first position, as well as my site, but my Pinterest page (with a link to my site) is a winner! Check it here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/345018021431638330/

And I have the same results for many other products from my site.

It should be also noted, that this strategy works best for Facebook and Pinterest, but it does not mean that you should ignore Instagram and G+.

Do most suppliers send you an update when the item has been shipped? If they do send you this update, do you notify the end customer?

Affiliate commission: $13,17
Net profit: $467,40

Top 3 countries people purchased from:
United States
Germany
United Kindom

Best product of the month (7 items sold) - Hermione Granger Rotating Time Turner Necklace Gold Hourglass - free shipping worldwide

I think not bad for beginning, especially considering the fact that I did not spend anything on paid advertising in September. Most purchases came from organic and social media traffic.

This month I am going to try PPC, craiglist, paid FB ads and crowd marketing and share these startegies with you. And I have decided to develop another webstore for another niche. Starting designing a new theme for it right now.

Does the term free shipping include those taxes imposed on the products? If not, how do you setup or calculate the import and duty taxes for the countries that you ship your products to?

Hi Yaros,

Thank you for such a fabulous thread and sharing your case! It's real great experience and I wish you good luck in your life experiment. I have some questions regarding your post:

1. What do you think is better: make own website (alonestanding, e.g. WP, Joomla or whatever it is) or use Shopify. Shopify seems to have huge potential in marketing and sales promotion + quick integration with GoogleShopping.
2. You mentioned that you use PayPal for payment processing. But what about fraud from the customer's side? PayPal is usually on the buyers side and not on the sellers. How do you manage returns, money back and other issues with existing or possible frauds?

Thank you!
Best,

1. I am a fan of WordPress, becuase its system is very flexible and offers tons of opportunities. However there are many good shopping carts available on the market and Shopify is one of the best. If you are ready to spend a bit more and all its options and features meet your expactations, then I think Shopify is a way to go.

2. I have not got any frauds and refunds yet, but I am ready for them, it is a part of a business. Hope I will not get plenty of them.

AliExpress has a good protection system with full money back guarantee. So, if my customer is not satisfied with a product and asking for refund I will start dispute with AliExpress seller.

does that even work? disputing for refunds.

how is it your able to get like 2 week shipments? i always thought shipping something from china to us would take at least 1 month which by then customers would file a paypal dispute and you'd have to refund their money.

i remember u told me most of your shipments came in within 2 weeks. how did you do that? did you select certain suppliers from china that u knew were going to ship it really quickly?

i remember u told me most of your shipments came in within 2 weeks. how did you do that? did you select certain suppliers from china that u knew were going to ship it really quickly?

When did you order from AliExpress last time?

I remember the time when I waited for 5-6 weeks to get the package in my country (with free shipping option). Now I get packages in 2 weeks on avearge.

Recently Jack Ma (the founder of Alibaba Group) has come to my country to discuss the situation with our national postal service and it was promised that the delivery time will take even less soon.

Two weeks ago Alibaba Group's logistics affiliate Cainiao has signed an agreement with the United States Postal Service (USPS). The two companies agreed to work together to speed delivery of merchandise sold through AliExpress to consumers in the United States.

So, I agree that the delivery time is far from perfect, but it's great that they are working on this.

That's the reason I add only the products now that are not very expensive and have a free shipping option. In this case many of my customers are usually ready to wait a bit more.

Hi Yaros!

Very inspiring journey

I've been reading a lot and tried to think of what to do to create a business, so coming across this is gold as a lot of these "how I started from nothing" stories, don't really tell you how they progressed.

So thank you for this, this has really opened up my eyes as I was also reading on wholesale/dropshipping.

My only question, is Dubai where you live?

Don't worry, I'm not stalking! As I believe all online businesses must provide a physical address (an address that you can send mails/goods) and not a virtual address.

So what did you do with that? Did you use an accountants address? Rented a warehouse? Used the supplier's address? or hired a mailing address?

Thanks again for the amazing and on-going adventure

Thank you! I don't live in Dubai right now, but I mentioned it because I have an established company there. Physical address in not only necessary for building trust for clients but also it is required if you apply for credit cards payment system on your site.

I would like to share with you my FB advertising campaign strategy.

To launch paid ads on FB for my Harry site I use Power Editor instead of using a regular FB tools that has some limitations.

Importnat: Power Editor works only with Google Chrome. To open this tool you need to go to www.facebook.com/ads/manage/powereditor or use a necessary tab on FB ads manager:

As soon as you enter Power Editor, click 'Download to Power Editor' in order to add accounts you need to get access for:

To create a campaign, click the following button:

Then you need to name the campaign, set objective (choose 'Clicks to website') and give titles to your ads group and ads:

Then we need to edit our campaign on a group and ads level where we should set targets, budget and create texts.

For my Harry site I use the type of ads which can include several images and links.

In 'Create Ad tab' I select 'Ad with multiply images in a carousel'.

Then I start creating my ads loading them with titles, descriptions, prices and images.

Important: as my experience shows, people mostly buy from desktop devices, that's why I remove the option to show my ads on mobile gadgets:

Targeting:

Before creating my ads on FB I went to https://www.google.com/trends/ and found the countries where the 'Harry Potter' keyword is extremely popular.

Then I added all possible keywords associated with Harry Potter niche.

Lastly, I set age range from 18 to 65+:

Budget:

For this type of ads (like Carousel), 'Daily Budget' option is the best. My daily budget is $5:

My advertising campaign started on the 7th of October and will end on 31st of October:

With such budget and settings mentioned above, I get following results:
- Clicks - 241 daily on average
- Cost per click - $0.02!

I have already got some good results from this campaign. For example, today I got an order from Mexico generated by this Facebook adverstising campaign:

  Yes, organic traffic is quite good.
  
  1. Before choosing main categories for my site, I use Google Adwords to find good keywords in selected niche. As a result all names of my categories are in line with chosen keywords. (For example: category name "Harry Potter wands" = "Harry Potter wands" keyword that has 40,500 monthly searches according to Google Adwords.
  2. I am using Senuke software for social bookmarking. It helps to index site well and get stable pages on Google.
  3. I write and place a unique article (3000 symbols) on the home page above footer.
  4. I write and place a unique article with necessary keywords (2000 symbols) on each category page. For each article I make unique title placing it in H2 tag. It is important that this title (H2) should be different from the name of the category (H1).
  5. I create unique titles for all my products and add meta data.
  6. Using special software (usually WebSite Auditor) I do SEO audit for all my pages to find out if:
  - I have any errors in the code; - robots.txt created and setup properly; - there are any pages with 404 error; - a site has any broken links; - all meta tags are written correctly; - all pages are mobile friendly.

People often ask me about how my ordering process works. So I decided to describe this process in a step-by-step way.

1. First, I get a notification on my email that an order was placed. And I get another notification from my PayPal account that I received payment.

2. I go to the WP admin area of my site to check Order Details page and find this recent order:

I see that this order includes 2 items for $9.99 + $11.99.

3. Using my affiliate links I go to these product pages on AliExpress and place orders stating shipping address of my customer. These affiliate links allow me earning 8% commission on every purchase.

ITEM #1

ITEM #2

4. After placing the order I get notifications from the seller about when he sends the product and its tracking ID. This information I pass to my client through email and apply different status for a particular order on my control panel:

RESULT:

Gross profit - $21.98
Supplier Expenses - $7.28
Affiliate commission - $0.58

NET PROFIT: $15.28.

Hi Yaros

Well I must say a big thank you. I have set up a store in a different niche and already have two sales!! One to Mexico and one to Australia.

My site is quite labour intensive as I don't have massive tech skills like you. I spent nearly half a day yesterday importing reviews via phpmyadmin!

I have a question regarding shipping from Aliexpress. I placed a sample order for myself on the 4th of October, it has given me a tracking ID with "Special Line-YW". If I go to the supplied link and check the tracking number it comes back as not found!! The item was shipped on the 7th. Have you been able to check on tracking numbers?

I have placed my two customer orders and am still waiting for them to be shipped but hope this tracking issue won't be a headache!

Also do you provide the customers mobile number in the Aliexpress order? I have just added 00-00-00000 for these first two orders.

Finally do you add any notes to the supplier on the Aliexpress order like "please mark as gift"?

Thanks again

Yes, tracking numbers usually work for me. Contact the seller to find out what is wrong.

I place my own phone number.

I usually add this note:

Dear seller. I work as a dropshipper. Please, do not mention Aliexpress and your return address and don't place your business card into the package. We look forward to continuing and further developing our cooperation with your store. Thank you!

  I am paying $147 montly, but I am using it mostly for other projects. As for my dropshipping site it only helps me to create some social bookmarks. You can use 'bookmarking demon' for this purpose as well.

I have got my first refund recently

The customer did not like the quality of a t-shirt he got. He sent me the picture of this t-shirt and I must admit that the quality of this item is really poor.

As a result I sent him a full refund, opened a dispute with AliExpress seller and got a refund the next day!

I suppose, if you are selling not expensive products your AliExpress suppliers usually refund you quickly without having to return the items because they don't want the headache of disputes and receiving returns for relatively low value items. May be I could even give a partial refund to my customer.

My site is good on Google and I think such results became possible because of two main marketing effors:

1. Extensive on-site SEO.

- Before choosing main categories for my site, I used Google Adwords to find good keywords in selected niche. As a result all names of my categories are in line with chosen keywords. (For example: category name "Harry Potter wands" = "Harry Potter wands" keyword that has 40,500 monthly searches according to Google Adwords.
- For each category and home page I added unique keyword-rich articles.
- I used special software to create social bookmarks to index my site with Google fast.
- Using WebSite Auditor I did SEO audit for all my pages to find out if I have any errors in the code, if robots.txt is created and setup properly, if there are any pages with 404 error, if there are any broken links, if all meta tags are written correctly and all pages are mobile friendly.
- I changed product titles to make them look more friendly for Google.

As a result my site was indexed by Google sucessfully and I started getting some organic traffic and sales.

2. Social media integration.

I created and designed accounts on most popular social networks - Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Instagram and published all my products their. It helped greatly, because these pages appeared in top pages of Google intantly and I got another source of free organic traffic.

Owing to these two strategies many of my products appeared on Google higher than product pages of competitors:

Last week I started testing Craiglist and other similar services and have already got several sales from this source. I think many of you are familiar with Craiglist, but for those who have not tried Craiglist yet, this small and easy to follow guide could be helpful.

1. Before starting posting ads on Craiglist I recommend using HideMe software. It allows choosing the IP address of the region where you want to post your ads.

2. Go to Craiglist.org and select a geographical location. In order to choose the best country or region I strongly recommend that you check Google Trends first to find out where your products (look by keywords) are mostly popular and demanded.

3. Then you should sign up or create a new account.

4. You can see the status of ads you have already published on your account page. Here you can also select a region for posting your next ads.

5. Choose the type of your ad on the next page.

6. Select category.

7. Enter contact and product information.

8. Insert image and publish.

Now your ad is ready. After publishing, it will be shown on Craiglist for the next 45 days. You can check your post following the link that will appear on the next page.

Here is how the post looks like:

Don't forget to place a link to your site. It will be not an active link; however people use it to visit your site or product page.

It should be also noted that Craiglist is not the only service suited for posting such ads. I found another 4 good services that can give good traffic and sales. Besides, these services allow posting active links to your webstore.

Here is a full list:

1 craigslist: frederick jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events

2 http://www.locanto.com

3 Free Classifieds - Hoobly Classifieds

4 Free classifieds - backpage.com

5 UsedVictoria.com - Classifieds for Jobs, Rentals, Cars, Furniture and Free Stuff

If you are using Craiglist or similar services in your marketing strategy, please share your ideas and experience here!

1. It is always recommended to place an active phone number on your ecommerce store for trust and better conversions. I am usually doing like this:
- buy US number from Skype
- record some voice message
- setup voice mail.
As a result when a client calls this number he can leave a message that will be instantly delivered to my email. In this case I don't have to answer calls myself, but I can get information from my customers and customers are happy that they have an option to call somewhere.

2. Yes, you can use other ecommerce platforms to create dropshipping sites. However my plugin works automatically based on AliExpress API. I am not sure if other platforms have such solution. I heard Shopify offers some similar option but I have not checked it.

This could be offtopic, but Yaros mentioned it, so I have checked it:

Shopify has Ali Importer in App Store and it is $29,90/month. Shopify Basic plan is another $29/month or Lite $9/month if you want to sale only on FB, so it's $58.90/month for a webshop and FB shop or $38,90 for FB shop only.
But, on other hand, it looks great and it's promising because of other Shopify features.
Similar plugin is DHgate app for Shopify and it's free and very easy to use and fast, but Aliexpress has way more products, and they are cheaper.

If someone could nail Aliexpress Shopify App for reasonable price, it could be great success due to simplicity and other features of Shopify.

Totally agree with you. I'm also looking for a reliable and easy-to-use parser/cropper for Aliexpress. I'm testing at the moment the Ali Importer in Shopify. It's not perfect, but it has something good. The trial period allows you to import 15 items only. Pros: you can import items by url or item ID, the plugin has price multiplyer to the sourcing price (or you can specify price manually), the plugin does the stock observance (however I don't know and developer also does not explain it, how often it updates information from Aliexpress). Cons: not all items as you want you can import from Ali (and this is the main cons of this plugin), only products in partnership program can be imported. Pricing is the main cons as well: 29usd Shopify +29usd Ali importer per month is for the start of an online store something to think about (especially, if you want to test a niche).

Yaros, what a great thread yaros. I myself also starting a dropshipping from Aliexpress. But I used shopify as m website since I dont have the coding experience with wordpress.

About shopify niche testing purpose, I usually just try the free trial and 30 daysubscription. If I found out my shop didnt sell, I just close it and never get charge by shopify.

I'm selling bicycle accessories, and currently use fb to drive traffic to my site, but still got no luck. my website is Bicycle Gear, could anyone give some feedback about my site. people do come to my site from FB, but they didnt convert.

Do you use fb ad yaros? thanks

Yes, I am using FB and quite satisfied with results. Regarding your site I would recommend that you change the domain name. In my opinion .xyz looks not trustworthy. And I think it is not a good idea to place such a large header on your home page. It is better when a user can see products and categories once he enters a website.

My stats for October:

TRAFFIC

I got around 40% increase in traffic comparing to September stats.

INCOME

Total income: $933,25
Supplier costs: $389,11
Affiliate commission: $26,39
Net profit: $570,53 (+22% comparing to September)

Most of my sales were generated with the help of organic search and social media (not paid ads).

Top 3 countries people purchased from:
- United States
- India
- Mexico

In October I made two refunds. One of them is because of a poor quality of the item and another one because of long delivery time.

I am often asked what niche is better to choose for a dropshipping site. In my opinion it is better to find and choose a narrow niche. A broad niche might sound like a good idea and I do understand people who are dreaming about an authority website where you can put all products, but in practice, it can be very tough to get traffic and orders.

Some reasons to go narrow:

1. When you make a research going narrow you get a better understanding about what you are going to sell.
2. It's easier to be a big fish in a small pond and it's the fastest way to grow your business and credibility.
3. It's easier to rank higher in a web search for particular search terms.
4. Due to your specialty people will be ready to come to you again and again because you are "the one" in their minds.
5. It is always easier to focus on one audience and plan your marketing strategies.

To get an idea about what I mean by a narrow niche, take look at this website I have created recently for my friend:

When you start growing and get say 100 orders daily, that would seem to be a lot of work. How are you going to handle this?

Dear Yaros,

First of all, thank you for giving other drop-shippers from your time and efforts, the information and tips that you give here, are very appreciated and valuable for others like myself, which are trying to make a living and support our families.
In today's world, global economy and technology give incredible opportunities to everyone.

In my case, after a couple of years of thinking and trying to find a direction, I finally start doing my new company setup process.

I am always very suspicious of Ali Express and Chinese dealers in general. I bought a few times from suppliers in Ali Express and to say the truth, it was much better than expected, ridiculous prices, quality was OK and delivery times shorter than stated by them.

But one thing is buying as a particular and other one is buying and/or using them as a drop ship business...

Anyway I am not currently using Ali Express as an option, thanks to your invaluable posts, I am considering to give a try... For me rather than low prices, the service and reliability is mandatory, I cannot build a drop ship biz, with all the risks and problems, if I don't feel that I can trust my suppliers at least 95% (for me there is no 100%)... rate I find it, very difficult to achieve...

To make it short, I have the same problems, trying to do everything myself, dealing with suppliers worldwide (US, EU and China), setup of eBay and Amazon stores (US + international), building own websites alone, I am not a WM, although I have some skills and I learnt fast, I usually got stuck due to design, plugin and code problems. I pay much attention to details, I am kind of perfectionist and try to make the most professionals websites and give visitors the best customer experience and service, pre and post sale.

I also believe in transparency, my plan is making my websites, fully transparent, with my own profile and future employees profiles, international customer service by phone, mail and chat,etc

Of course all these plans, will be implemented, one by one and only according to sales progress, I strong believe in biz development and automation of all marketing related activities, future website features cost will come from the business revenues only...
Due to a small budget, I am always on the chase after cheap and effective tools (Social, SEO, IT Services, Design, etc) that can save me precious time.

Do you have or use proven tools and/or services (from your experience) with strong accent on value 4 money?

Do you think business model or similar as yours can succeed to make 5K $ on revenues/mo. (lets say in 1 yr time)?

Do you think it is possible, once the whole process is working more or less smooth, to fully automate and duplicate it, meaning finding other niche and working on a pretty much similar basis?

You work with Ali Express, which offer zero to cheap shipping rates, with very low or null cost to you but in my case (like any other drop-shiper) shipping cost, cut off much of our sale revenue? Any tip on how to overcome this huge problem? Fullfilment services? FBA by Amazon? Selling only to customer of certain countries with lower shipping rates?

Excuses to everyone for this long post but I never learnt to make things short

Yaros, I wish you huge success in your biz, you deserve it!

P.D: I reserved flight ticket for Hong Kong on next April, I am attending 2 electronic fairs in HK and the 119th Canton Export Fair in Guangzhou, I will be more than glad, to share my experience with everyone here.

Thank you for the great post, your kind words and sharing your experience!

The advantage of this business model is its scalability and you can repeat success by building new dropshippins sites for other good niches. This is exactly what I am doing now.

Regarding tools, I have already mentioned some of them on this thread and I am still testing a lot. Later I will preapre a full list of tools I would recommend for dropshipping business.

As for shipping options and rates, now I am selling only the products that have a free shipping option and can be delivered worlwide. Now I am working on integration of main postal service APIs into my plugin. If I get success with it, I will be able to offer different shipping methods with all rates that will be obtained by the plugin automatically.

P.S. It would be great if you share your experience after visiting these great events! I am looking forward for it.

Thank you Yaros for all the work you've been putting to make these reports. I really like your pragmatic attitude by focusing on what's important and what have's to be done first letting aside the little details like making your website look "perfect".

You demonstrate that in order to grow you must get things done! and also jump in with the experimenting attitude like trying different advertising strategies while maintaining that what is working.

Acknowledging the copyright risks and keeping going forward (even with the discouraging small reviews that you got) and going with the attitude "I take responsibility if anything happens"

I just finished reading the whole tread up until now and planing to continue in reading the following updates.

My last few words are that your experience SHINES from a far distance and that you are on a whole different level than most of us. All your work until now, this very moment, starting from the first day you entered in marketing is reflected in your HUUUGE fast progress and development within your project.

In my perspective, usually for a beginner it takes around a year to get their first sale, you got yours within a MONTH!

A fact that shows and expert doing an enormous amount of work in a short amount of time.

I humbly respect your work and attitude. Sorry for the long ass kissing reply but this is my honest review upon what I feel and what I learned and saw upon reading the thread.

Recently I have tried a marketing strategy that I had not used before and found it very effective.

This strategy is called Instagram Shoutouts.

If you want your Instagram page to grow, then you need to gain exposure.

The quickest and most efficient way to do this is by collaborating with other your niche related pages, posting one of their pictures in return for them posting one of yours. This is what is called a Shoutout.

But I have a bit different strategy.

I go to Instagram and search for popular pages related to Harry Potter niche. After finding such pages I send a message to the owners asking them about the price for adding my post to their pages. If the prce is fair enough I send the materials I want to publish. As a result I gain exposure, my Instagram page is growing and what is more important, I get sales! (just got another one from these shoutouts

)

So, I can definitely recommend this strategy, especially for such fan nichies like Harry Potter.

Below are screenshots of recently published shoutouts.

I spent $25 for these two shoutouts, already got 5 orders.

Hey Yaros,

First off, thanks for your thread. It is very informative.

How do you get facebook likes and twitter followers? Do you just post your products and people like them? Or do you do something more?

Thanks,

Besides posting all my products on social accounts, I also use some tools.

Facebok - I use my own solution that is similar to WP Fun Machine (I will share this solution later).

Twitter - I use Twidium to promote my account.

Pinterest - I use Follow Liker.

Instagram - I use Socialhammer.

It was my first experience with Instagram shoutouts. I spent $29 on these two posts. They were published on the 11th of November and were live for 48 hours.

I got a good increase of traffic:

Orders: 7
Gross revenue: $173,69
Supplier costs: 89,91
Net profit: $83,78

$83,78 - $29 (spent on shoutouts) = $54,78.

Besides, I got many likes and followers on my Instagram account.

I think I could earn more if I have credit cards payment option connected to my site, because there were many users who dropped the checkout page.

You did mention that you had problem with credit card gateway. Since 2co didn't work well for you, why don't you try to other payment gate? There are so many of them now from scribe.com to sagepay.co.uk and many more that will work well for you. Try them out please.

Thanks for the thread. It has been really inspiring. I need to get back to reading lol.

Regarding FB ads, I also found that video ads on FB work better for me than regular text ads. And it should be noted that's sometimes it is not a great idea to send traffic from your FB video ads directly to your webstore, some landing page needed. I am using following strategy:

1. I write a small article and add it to the blog of my webstore.

Example: 5 Items True Hermione Granger Fans Wouldn

2. I create a small video and launch advertising campaign for Facebbok.

Example: https://www.facebook.com/14936370509...7460359878935/

3. Users whatch the video, visit the blog post and then go to place orders.

It works!

I was wondering....

You get paid by Paypal when someone orders right ?
But if you go at ALIE, you cannot use PP ?

How do manage this issue ?

I did some research and saw that some DO take Paypal but never really saw a Paypal logo somewhere on the merchants i have found. So i don't really know if they do take it.

I'm trying to figure out a way to proceed with Paypal all the way.

Let me know

You are using your own affiliate link to buy the goods at Alie's ?
Isn't "illegal" ?
Are you using proxies to order ?

Sorry if i didn't read right (me and engrish)

I order from my own account using my own affiliate links. It is not against the rules.

I order on AliExpress using AliPay system that is connected to my credit card. With AliPay it takes seconds to place an order, but you can also pay by a credit card as usual.

My main strategy now is to take not expensive products and with free shipping option only. In this case customers are more willing to wait longer. The delivery time is 15 - 30 days usually.

Hi Yaros,

I see many sellers on Aliexpress that state they will only ship to the "order address." Does this mean they will not dropship? Have you run into this? Is seems Ali will allow you to add an address regardless of the sellers statement. How do you deal with these sellers?

Site looks good bro!

I would hire a VA to manage Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest and HAMMER the Harry Potter related hashtags, groups and board, sure that would drive sales

Also, maybe consider giving away the free worldwide shipping (or a discount) for people that submit their email address above the fold on the homepage, this should build you list faster.

Thanks for sharing, site looks awesome and sure you will make a killing!

Not to nit pick Yaros but a quick one for you to fix.

The first thing that struck me was a spelling mistake on your main offer countdown timer.

SUPER SALE UP TO 80% OF ALL ITEMS LIMITED TIME OFFER

Should be

SUPER SALE UP TO 80% OFF ALL ITEMS LIMITED TIME OFFER

Otherwise that's a pretty swifty site. Have you had many complaints or issues with delivery times and thought about bulk ordering and third party fulfillment from the states?

Hei Yaros, great thread as usual, with all those tools you have to run your site (senuke, twidium, followliker, etc), are you using free or is it paid? My weakness is in social media promotion, having many account on different social media and posting on it is a daunting task for me, since there is only me working on it. are you still on fb ads? do you use fb new feature of audience intersecting.

I've added a US number on the site, and change the header just like you said. It looks more like an profesional ecommerce store at the moment. and if you can, i need more advice about my website. I send around 12 - 15 people last night with my fb ads, but none of them buy the promo ads.

Yaros, have you thought of switching your Pinterest account to a Business one? As far as I know the business account has the ability of Rich Pins https://business.pinterest.com/en/rich-pins which has Product Pins with real time pricing and availability. I think this should be good for a webstore like yours.

When using AliExpress, also check Ebay for the same items. I have found exact same items on Ebay for much less than AliExpress.....so do your due diligence.

I am using both free and paid tools. As for social media promotion now I am using my own solution, another plugin that I called Social Rabbit. It auto post products on FB, Twitter, Pinterest, finds popular groups in the niche and leaves comments. Besides it can find the most popular posts in the niche and then publish them on my social accounts. So far, I am very happy with this solution.

These reviews are published automatically by the plugin directly form AliExpress.

Yes, it is a good recommendation. Actually having such website you are not sticked to a one supplier. You can choose any.

My stats for December:

TRAFFIC

INCOME

Total income: $1113,3
Supplier costs: $345,06
Affiliate commission: $23,02
Net profit: $725,46

Most of my sales were generated with the help of organic search and social media (not paid ads).

Top 3 countries people purchased from:
- United States
- Germany
- Australia

This month a have some decrease in sales comparing to November, but in December I did not have much time on working with the site. So I hope to correct this in January.

I had some slight complaints regarding a long delivery time but no refunds in December!

I notice that your traffic for direct is very high. Does that mean that the customers type in your website into their browser directly and come in? I believe SEO is reflected from Organic search right?

I think most of the direct traffic comes from forums but this traffic does not generate sales.

No offense but I really think that you should read the whole thread from the beginning. It's only 6 pages and most probably will take about 20 - 30 minutes of your time. It is stated very very clearly how Yaros does the whole thing: SEO, Social Media etc.

Repeated open ended such as these can easily be avoided if you take the initiative to actually read the thread.

Logged in to say this. Risking a lawsuit for $x,xxx in profit is a horribly, horribly short-sighted idea. You do NOT want to mess with Warner Bros., especially using their brand & likeness. They may just send you a C&D with no further demands, but it could very well be a threat of litigation with you requiring you to send all of your sales data to them and a settlement proposal in the tens of thousands of dollars. You obviously have the smarts and know-how to run a dropshipping site and successfully promote it, why even take that chance? JMO...

patiently Waiting for your Facebook ads results I need to Ask How did you make the video. Which tool did you use to create it before uploading it to YouTube.

For video I bought a ready theme on Codecanyon for around $15 and then edit it with Adobe AfterEffects software.

Are you ever concerned with the fact that marketplace sellers in Amazon/Ebay etc could be selling the same exact item? How do you overcome that problem? Is there any price war at all?

Today I want to show you my social plugin that I am successfully using with my dropshipping sites and Amazon affiliate stores.

Before I used many different social posters and social promotion plugins but each of them has its own disadvantages and could not meet all my requirements. As a result I created my own solution that I called SocialRabbit.

How this Plugin works:

The plugin has a Dashboard that displays the list of activities performed by SocialRabbit. As you can see this plugin works with 3 popular social networks - Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

The connection with social networks API is implemented like in other social plugins:

Posting option also does not differ much from existent solutions. It allows posting all the products available on your store in your social pages - Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest on full autopilot.

Such posting brings great benefits:
- Promotion of your products on social accounts
- More stable positions on Google because of social signals
- Targeted traffic from scoial networks

Owing to such posting some of my product pages posted on social networks appear on Google higher than Amazon, AliExpress and Ebay:

Now the most interesting part! The core of this system is two Social Robots integrated with this plugin - Facebook Liker and Post Grabber.

For Facebook Liker you have a convenient interface where you can find the most popular groups in your niche and pass them to FacebookLiker Robot that will start visiting these groups, liking posts, leaving comments and replying to other comments attracting people to your webstore. And it works perfect!

Another social robot is called Post Grabber. This robot visits the most popular Facebook groups devoted to your niche, finds the most popular posts in these groups and re-posts these posts on your Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest accounts.

The Plugin also features a Spinner section for creation different pre-loaded comments and replies for FacebookLiker Robot.

So, that was a quick tour of my SocialRabbit plugin. There are other features available with this tool I can describe, but then my post can be very long. So far I am very satisfied with the results it gives me and I think if you have such a Rabbit in your hands you can easily fire your SMM expert

Among other similar solutions for your webstores I can also recommend Wpfanmachine and Nextscript autoposter.

I have one question. If I would like to sell my webbshop in 1-2 years, how and what is the best way to track the income? To prove to buyer in the future that it´s legit? Right now, since I only sell in my country, most of the pepole pay to my bank account, but is there any way in Paypal to make a seperat account for every store, and have that as proff? Whats your thought in this?

Building and having your own dropshipping site can be a very wise investment, because you can sell it some day and get a good profit. So I alsways recommend adding Google analytics right after you have created your store. You can also make screenshots of payments from your PayPal or bank account. Besides, it is great if you have an admin area for your site where all the history about your orders is stored.

Regarding PayPal, I have the same account for all my dropshipping stores, but you can see on my PP account from what stores the payments are done.

So, if you track your orders, payments and traffic carefully you will succeed in selling your website.

For example, I have sold one of my sites recently on Flippa for $1500.

These are real followers. For Facebook I am using my SocialRabbit plugin, for Instagram I am using OnlyPult tool to autopost and attract fans. Besides, I launch Instagram shoutouts time to time, which also help to increase the number of followers.

Ty for the fast answer. What im most worried about is that its easy to manipulate. I can make order my self and pay via Paypal, to make my store look like it´s making more money. Whats your thought about that?

I was recommended to get a bookkeeper to keep track of my revenue and earnings. But I dont have that now, I just use my paypal account and whitdraw money.

And btw, ty for this thread and information, I couldn´t wait for the plug in to be realesed no more, so I made one store by your instruction, and so far in januari revenue $700 witg $300 profit. Really really happy. As you said, its all about marketing and beeing creative with it!

Will be the first customer for you plugin when you get it up for sale =)

I had a Aliexpress plugin that allowed you to import products from aliexpress and tweak the price automatically for dropshipping purposes. I bought plugin from Codecanyon.net but product has been discontinued and is probably no longer supported. Would that be against any TOS if I shared?

Unfortunately went to restart a fairly old project in which I had this plugin installed and seems that the dropshipping feature of being able to import products then customers adding them to your cart is no longer working

Well looks like I'll see if I can get some wp plugin developer to get it working the way I need it or wait for OP to finish development.

A plugin like this would be a real game changer.... sadly I should have took advantage of it when it was working, then again I probably would have just been HIGHLY pissed once I had success with it and then it stopped working. All things happen for a reason.

Honestly saying I have never heard about dropshipping solutions that work automatically. Owing your own dropshipping business with webstore means communication with customers and suppliers. If you try to automate communication process everything may be messed up. Let's say your supplier sent another product to your client by mistake, how an automated system will resolve this issue?

Good point. However, if you have a shop with 10k products sold per month and you have to manually order each one from Aliexpress supplier, then that would be very ineffecient.

It takes 2 minutes to place an order. And if you have so many sales, there is not a problem to hire a support manager. I usually go this way.

Perhaps best setup is to contact big suppliers and have them upload their products to your system and having a general integration for each one this excluding aliexpress.

I have previously warned Yaros that he is taking a massive risk. The bigger they are the harder they fall, and his big following and growing illegal business will sooner or later come to the attention of the trademark and copyright owners. Man, what a big shock when that happens!

When I see the huge number of people who are gleefully taking up Yaros' idea to illegally import and sell big brand name products, it helps explain why Internet Marketing has such a bad reputation.

Yaros is obviously not alone in lacking business ethics. He's being followed by a huge number of like-minded people who can't use their own intelligence to establish and run a legitimate business.

Does that make it any more legal? Does it make it ethical? Does it reduce the massive penalties that will result when those doing it get caught?

When I see the huge number of people who are gleefully taking up Yaros' idea to illegally import and sell big brand name products, it helps explain why Internet Marketing has such a bad reputation.

Yaros is obviously not alone in lacking business ethics. He's being followed by a huge number of like-minded people who can't use their own intelligence to establish and run a legitimate business.

Does that make it any more legal? Does it make it ethical? Does it reduce the massive penalties that will result when those doing it get caught?

Lol, I doubt it will be much shock. Yaros will make his money and likely peddle the site off to the highest bidder just in the knick of time. It literally takes years for these knock off sites to be busted up.

I do wonder though... he's drop shipping and not holding physical products, so I wonder what are the legal ramifications? He can feign ignorance and claim that his Supplier assured him that the products were licensed and genuine.

Oh, once again. This thread is not about the niche. It is about a dropshipping business model and ways of promotion of your dropshipping site. I don't push anyone to sell Harry Potter stuff.

Furthermore, I have already developed other dropshipping sites that do not have any copyright issues and bring me profit as well.

Good point but rather controversial

I usually learn about the world's list of countries by watching the Olympic Games and the Olympic Parade of Nations claims over 200 members, even though our atlas only has 195.

They count partially-recognized countries and dependent territories. And AliExpress is doing the same stating 200+ countries on AliExpress.com.

This website Online shopping for kitchen stuff with free worldwide shipping is not redirecting to Aliexpress while checking out.
Is that possible with the Aliexpress plugin or there is some different way of doing this.

It is a dropshipping business model not an affiliate one, so the site should not redicrect anywhere. All orders are placed on your site and you get payments on your personal account.

Hi Vicki, there is no hate involved here. What I write is not an opinion, it is fact. Importing for sale any branded goods without a license from the brand owner is actually illegal.

The reason I have posted is because there are so many newbies who are reading this thread that I feel obliged for their sake to issue a warning. It's as simple as that.

Haters? This is an open discussion forum. Don't attempt to shut people up by throwing out the typical "hater" jargon. Everyone doesn't have to agree and it's perfectly fine to state such. It doesn't make one a "hater" to (repeatedly) address the flaws in Yaros' particular business model.

I'm less worried about copyright and more so about 1 and 2 month shipping delays, but if the customer base isn't in the USA, expedient shipping might not be a concern.

Yaros appears to be intelligent and sly enough to make it all work, but that is definitely not the case for many interested in copying him, so a dose of sound advice and caution should be appreciated

Now I have a collection of 6 sites. Each of them already gets stable traffic and sales, not so many as Harry site of course, but these sites are relatively new and I don't have much time on promotion. Most of my time now is devoted to the plugin improvements.

Regarding content, these articles are written by my copywriter. Ideally we write one article (3000 symbols) for the home page and one article with necessary keywords (2000 symbols) for each category page.

I am not sure when I can launch the plugin.

I have recently found another good and simple strategy of promotion in Facebook.

1. You find and join popular niche-related groups on Facebook, like this one with 6000 memebers:

2. You visit your own fan page, select the post and share it on the groups you joined:

Attention! You should post some interesting content, not products and advertising.

3. Your post appears on the groups and start attracting users to your own fan page.

As a result my post reached 2000+ users and got 40+ likes. And what is more important I got a great boost in social traffic and recieved several orders!

You can see this boost here on the 27th of January:

Worth trying!

I see what product was ordered on my Orders section.

My Plugin is based on AliExpress affiliate API, not sure if anyone provides xml files.

I bought this video theme from codecanyon for about $20 and then edited it with Adobe AfterEffects.

I was playing with pricing on my dropshipping sites for a long time and finally found a formula that works good for me. So, may be it will be helpful for other dropshippers.

My pricing formula is following:

0<x<1=$7.95 (if the cost of the product on AliExpress is between $0 and $1, my price is $7.95).

1<x<2=$8.99.

2<x<5=$9.95.

5<x<30=x*2.

30<x<50=x*1.75.

50<x<100=x*1.5.

x>100=x*1.35.

Here is how it looks like on my Plugin:

I want to share with you my experience of working with Instagram Shoutouts once again.

My recently launched shoutout (I paid $20 for) generated 15 orders from my dropshipping site and brought me $282 in profit!

This method works really great for me and I want to leave a small guide for you here.

1. Firstly choose the most popular accounts with the niche similar to yours. For example, if you are selling Harry Potter merchandise, you should look for the 'Harry Potter' accounts. There are different services for the account picking, but I personally recommend Websta (Websta - the best Instagram web viewer (Webstagram)). Simply enter the preferred theme in the "Username or tag" field and you'll get a list of popular accounts to choose from:

2. Once you have picked the preferred accounts (the more the better), you have to contact them through Instagram Direct (direct messages on Instagram). Unfortunately, this function is not available on PC; on Instagram you can send direct messages only from your mobile phone or tablet. Log in to your Instagram account and search for the chosen accounts in the search field. I usually send them a short message concerning ShoutOuts, and ask them to contact me on e-mail (it's more comfortable to communicate through e-mail than through Instagram Direct). My message usually looks like this:

3. Send this message to all of your chosen accounts and wait for their reply. Check your e-mail. Normally they contact me later on the same day, so you don`t have to wait long. Agree upon the terms and the prices, ask for the payment details. Generally I try to make ShoutOuts for 24-48 hours (longer time makes no sense). The price depends on the number of followers; try to find popular accounts (10k followers and more).

The ShoutOut basically consists of the grabbing picture of the item (it can be a collage of different pictures as well) and a promotion text. The text should be short and simple providing some information about the product and its price, name of your account and link to your webstore. You should add some hashtags as well.

This is an example of my ShoutOut text:

Harry potter golden snitch bracelet

Nice, right?

@world.of.harry for only $ 9.99 & FREE shipping worldwide!

check out WorldOfHarry.com for more deals like that!

ask @world.of.harry for more merch!

4. So, the payment has been transferred and the ShoutOut posted. Finally, you should get this:

After your ShoutOut is posted you will immediately start getting more traffic and sales and have a fast followers growth as well. I recommend making ShoutOuts once a week per account to get regular sales and constant followers growth.

Try it!

What is your CTR? Do you know how many website clicks you had from that shoutout?

Also $282 profit / 15 orders =$18,8 price of bracelet, and you say it is $9.99

so that would be $149.85 - $20 for shoutout= $129,85 in profit or not?

What about the delivery? I have readed the pages but maybe I missed it. For example, if you get an order, how long does it take to deliver it to customer? I mean if you pick free delivery, it usually takes 30-45 days (or so) How do you handle it? I mean did you see any negative side of the long delivery time? Any negative feedbacks from the customers? And solutions/suggestions?

Btw, Congrats!

Do you have any problems buying true your affiliate links? I've been buying true my affiliate links, but I'm not always getting commision. I've bought five times same item from same seller using my affiliate link, but only two time I've received commision. Other three times there isn't any informations on my affiliate dashboard on "Live order tracking".

Hi there,

Yaros, you have mentioned somewhere that you select the sellers carefully before posting their products on your website. How do you do that? It is self-evident to check the feedback score and the buyer's feedback but is there any specific thing you check to avoid untrustworthy sellers?
And what kind of letter do you write them to find out if they willing to do dropshipping?
Thanks

AliExpress has a good protection system with full money back guarantee. So, if your customer is not satisfied with a product and asking for refund you should dispute the purchase with AliExpress seller. If you are selling not expensive products your AliExpress suppliers usually refund you quickly without having to return the items because they don't want the headache of disputes and receiving returns for relatively low value items. This enables you to give a full or partial refund to your customer through PayPal without them having returns either.

I issued only two refunds so far.

They are all willing to dropship

There is no any point to send any letters beforehand.

As for finding reliable suppliers I use special filters on my plugin when searching necessary items, like Seller's Feedback Score, Product Rating, Sales Volume, etc.

Thanks Yaros for your aswer.

Regarding refunds, I found this on Aliexpress: "You can submit refund requests up to 15 days after your order has been completed." Completed order means when you paid for your item or when you received it?

If you are selling not expensive products your AliExpress suppliers usually refund you quickly without having to return the items because they don't want the headache of disputes and receiving returns for relatively low value items

Yaros, you have a website about bags, do you have the same refund policy like above?

Hi everyone,
I would like to make a webshop with a dropshipping model. My plan is the following. I would like to make a webshop with products from Aliexpress using Woocommerce. The customers are going to purchase the products on my website and then when I get a payment from the customers I am going to order the item from Aliexpress.
My problem is that how am I going to find that exact product on Aliexpress what the customer has ordered? Instead of doing this manually, I would like to have a plugin which can does this work. I think of a plugin that "knows" what kind of product a customer has ordered in which color, in which size, etc. without needing me to search for products and type in these information thus eliminating the chance of errors. It could provide a link, or something so all I would have to do is order that item.
I also would like if the plugin could update the products, the price and delete the unavailable products automatically.
I am not sure if this kind of plugin is exist, any alternative solution or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

My Plugin can do all these things. As for other similar solutions there is such a tool for Shopify that is called Ali Importer. But I have not heard about similar solution for Woo.

This should work for those, who look for a dropshipping plugin for their woocommerce website: Ebay & Aliexpress WooCommerce Importer - WordPress | CodeCanyon

With this plugin, you can either use aliexpress affiliate system directly, or you can import the products to your website, multiply the price as you wish, sell them directly from your website. This is the only solution sofar that I have found to create a wordpress based dropshipping website with woocommerce.

Yes, both sites offer the same product. AliPlugin.com is created for ClickBank. But bear in mind that AliPlugin is for building affiliate sites only. It does not deal with dropshipping business model I am describing on this thread.

HI guys just to let you know you can use Aliplugin for dropshipping, I am.
You can get another plugin called woocommerce bulk editor.
All you do is change all the links from external to simple or variable(if doing clothes sizes. you can change everything real quick.individually of bulk. list all products on one page and edit price, sale price,feature image, everything. Dont import the description and create own if you want to. Seriously works a treat. I add products in minutes. Added with aliplugin this will get you going an a great path before Yaros plugin is out.
check out the official video here.

the Aliplugin I use is from Code Canyon

Hi Yaros, great site. I have one question:
How about the refund? Aliexpress give 15 days to open dispute when the customer confirm the delivery but Paypal give 360 days to open dispute. How about if you sell something, the buyer receive it but after 1 month he found is defective or no more working (most cases with electronic items like cellphones or tablets), so he will open dispute in paypal against you, but your case cannot do anything to open dispute in aliexpres. So paypal will ask the buyer to return the item and get full refund, in this case item returned to the chinese seller but the dropshipper lose money and product and the chinese wins double.
hopefully I'm wrong and I know no always there is many refund request after the buyer receive his order and all depend the kind of products you sell but is better to take some measures before starting dropshipping.

Fortunately, I did not have such issues. But I think in case it happens I will try to explain PayPal about such situation providing proof of delivery and information about AliExpress refund policy.

Good question and that could really be an issue..

I wouldn't rely too much on Paypal as sometimes even when you provide full proof of scam they won't refund.
I experienced that myself and it costed me money..

Probably better to avoid electronic items and go for something that has no risks of being faulty.

Anyway, in case you missed my previous requests, do you have an idea of when your plugin will be available?

When you buy that product from the aliexpress exporter and they ship the product to the customer that bought from you, doesn't the exporter leave an invoice or the shipping details stating the original value of the order? Or any other commercial flyers etc. from that company? That way making the customer aware that they've paid more than they had to.

There are no any signs of AliExpress and prices on packages. However, sometimes sellers from AliExpress include their business cards in the package. Anyway you can always send a comment with your order asking your seller not to include anything. The sellers on AliExpress have a clear idea about a dropshipping business model and will be happy to assist you.
You can attach following message:
'Dear seller. I work as a dropshipper. Please, do not mention Aliexpress and your return address and don't place your business card into the package. We look forward to continuing and further developing our cooperation with your store. Thank you!'

Thank you for your answer Yaros. So if I understand correctly all packages ordered from AliExpress never have any sign of prices on the package or inside? Must you ask for this or is it normal procedure?

I have ordered many packages for myself and I don't remember that I saw any prices inside. What is more importnat I have never got any complaints from my clients about any undesirable information found inside the packages. So, in my opinion, there is nothing to worry about here.

Hey Yaros,

Thanks so much for such valuable insights.

There's one thing I'm curious about. Can this whole process be automated?

I mean, you said every time you get an order on your store you go and order it manually from AliExpress (is that right?)

Can this be automated and make it completely passive?

Like when a cutomer orders on your store, an order is automatically generated for the Aliexpress supplier with the shipping details that your customer entered.

Would apprciate a response.

Good question! I have already got a solution for it, now integrating this feature into the Plugin. After you get an order the Plugin visits the product page, clicks Buy Now button and enters all information taking it from your Orders section. But anyway you will need to click pay button yourself to transfer money.

Hey Yaros, well done on your journey so far. I'm from UK and started my store a few days a go and got my first order today...woop!! When I went to make the order on AliEx the ePacket delivery service was gone - gutted!! I've messaged the seller.
I'm thinking to use slower delivery service but does not offer tracking. Faster service is too expensive. Feel so bad for my cutomer

Question for you. Do your customers ever have to pay import /duties taxes? How have you managed this? I don't want my customers to be suprised with duties bill.

Keep up the good work!!

I hope your customer will understand and will not complain. Regarding duties/taxes I am not experienced in this question and have never got any complaints about it. As far as I know all leading dropshipping sites usually place following text on their sites: It is the buyer's responsibility for any custom duty fees that may be charged upon delivery.

I run the comapny that has key clients from Dubai, so I needed an established company with office there. In spite of the fact that you can register in free zone it is rather expensive, because many things are involved here - you need to pay for registration, residence visa, office, etc.

thanks, i will try to find products without watermarked pictures otherwise posting process could become too long and time consuming.

In regards this Aliexpress issue, they suspend servers grabbing content from their site...is there a reason for that? I mean, they provide API so they should be fine with getting their content.
What is the problem then?
Does this mean that your sites and plugin would be affected?

In regards this Aliexpress issue, they suspend servers grabbing content from their site...is there a reason for that? I mean, they provide API so they should be fine with getting their content.
What is the problem then?
Does this mean that your sites and plugin would be affected?

Thanks

The main problem is that its API is not completely developed and is lack af many necessary functions. That's the reason I had to grab some content I could not get through API like products variations, stock and reviews. Now sometimes AliExpress blocks server IPs if detects that someone takes its content directly. I have already found the solution but need time to integrate it.

Ah ok i see, i didn't realize you were taking also content not provided within the API.

Off the subject, i am struggling to find a proper niche. Whenever i do a research, i find the same items cheaper on Ebay as well as a lot of competition.

Hopefully i can come up with a good niche at some point and begin this journey

I came across this thread while searching for some reviews on drop shipping.

I checked some of your sites. Can you share what Wordpress Theme/s are you using? Also, I was wondering about the customer care or TEAM on your site, are these real people working with you or they are just models with bogus names to make it look that you have a team? Sorry about the question, I just wanted to know since it is a nice addition to your site.

I am creating themes myself. As for support team members, they are models, however I will change them to real people soon since I have already got the team.

Been waiting patiently for the release of your new plugin, I've began building my dropping sites with wpprofitcom. Its actually a very good plugin, but I will definitely be buying yours to compare. Sounds like yours has many more options but wpprofitcom allows me to at least get started building my empire.

hey Yaros, i have a question. what do you use for shipping.

like lets take this for example.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Harry...4-e9d80786d1ff

there are only 2 options for shipping. there is Seller's Shipping Method which takes 35 days and then there's China's Post Air Mail which takes 15-40 days.

what do you use for shipping given these 2 options. and do you still ever get complaints about the delivery time or are all orders received in 2 weeks.

If there is an e-packet service (for US) I use it, because it usually costs $1-3 and offers rather fast delivery. In other cases I use China post. I have some complaints sometimes about long time sgipping, but no refunds.

Hi Yaros

I've read the previous posts, and it was very interesting to see you scale up and tell us how you did it. I love this dropshipping business model, I never started one myself but from what I see people saying and doing it seems very interesting.

I have some questions and worries though I would want to ask you about before starting my own journey as you know a lot more.

1. What is the difference between "supplier" and "seller", is that the same?

2. How to find a good supplier/seller in aliexpress?

My worries:

My worries are everything that has to do with the "legal" stuff. I am not very educated herein. So when I start a dropshipping website, do I need a vat number, do I need to tell my government that i'm self employed or that i'm selling stuff online? Because I want to start dropshipping but at the same time I would like to have a job, is that possible?

And last question, what about the copyright laws you were talking about in older posts? How do I know that i'm breaking the copyright laws? Like for example your harry potter website, what's wrong with that?

Thanks so much if you could help me out with my questions, and I wish you good luck in your future

1. Yes, these terms (seller and supplier) are the same here.

2. To find a good supplier you need to pay attaention to such seller's stats like feedback score, purchase volume, reviews, product rating. Put simply like on any marketplaces when you are going to place an order for yourself.

There are many interesting niches around, so you don't need to choose any that can have copyright issues.

As for registering your business it depends on your country and its laws. I have an established registered company here in Russia.

I will provide stats later. But can show you example for today with an amazing 33% conversion rate. 4 orders from 12 visitors

Or another example: kittenrules.com

And its Facebook page. that brought 3 orders from 19 visitors for the last week (15,79% conversion rate).

Hi Yaros,

Is it actually allowed for us to buy products from AliExpress using our own affiliate link? I might not have sales from other people using my affiliate link (as I would be promoting my ecom site) so all sales using my affiliate link would obviously just be from me. Is that ok with them?

Hi,

I took your business model and follow your steps in creating my first shop online. It was my dream business for many years but I did not have the courage to start it.
I think I found a niche: jewelry.
~ What do you think it is a good one?

I liked your idea of a theme shop and I have one myself. It includes different categories of products.

~ Do you think is better to have a one shop category or mixed categories products?

Thanks if you reply.

Hi Yaros just wondering if you have a true profit and loss statement that includes all your costs vs all profits, the reason I ask is that all I see is profits made on products as apposed to the cost from supplier I don't see anywhere that you have factored in running costs such as hosting, social network publishing script membership, cost of advertising etc. etc.

Please I have not read the complete thread as it is very long so if you have provided it can you post a link so I can view it.

Ok so if we were looking at doing this for ourselves we would have to factor in those additional costs, could you maybe post what those total monthly costs would be to us so we could better calculate actual costs vs turnover and profit.

I think the best products for dropshipping from AliExpress are cheap ones that cost $2-5 on Ali. In this case you can put x5 or even x10 markup. Besides it is easier to promote and sell such items. My daily stats for these products look like this:

I want to warn and inform you about scam products (Aliexpress plugins) appeared on Internet time to time.

Recently one of forum members contacted me and reported that he was scammed by ecomlauncher.net.

I spent some time on research and found some interesting information about this product and its creator.

His name is Able Chika, a well-known fraud for me. Some time ago, he copied my AliPlugin and started selling as his own product. As a result I got many refund requests and spent much time on explaining people that they bought not AliPlugin but its poor copy from another seller.

I wrote several complaints and his aliengine was banned from Warrior forum, JVZoo and other marketplaces. Then he tried to sell his 'business' on Flippa and was suspended there as well: https://flippa.com/5807833-aliengine-io

I like a strong and healthy competition and I respect the hard work of other developers admiring their great products, but I have no respect for such people like this Chika.

I decided to expand my business and try some new interesting strategy - Single Product Store!

Meet my new site - Time Turner Necklace

I will describe briefly the main advantages of such sites and why I think this strategy can work great for me.

1. As you know I have about 20 dropshipping sites with many different products in various niches. For the last several months I have collected enough information to determine the best-selling products. Based on this data, now I am sure that these items are in high demand and I can create a dedicated site for each of them.

2. Such sites are easy to create and you can make them look very attractive.

3. I think it is much more easy to promote these sites with SEO and you can use keyword-rich domains.

4. I was not successful with paid ads, but in my opinion Google Adwords and social media ads will work much better with single product stores.

5. Besides I can apply the same proven strategies that successfully work with my other big sites.

6. Easy to do A/B testing comparing with stores with multiple products.

Hi Yaros,

simple, but impressive landingpage for the necklace. Especially the header image, but did you buy the licence for the image(s)? Where did you get it from?
Page is really brilliant!

Another question - you are not located in US, but say so on the sites for customer service. I guess your bank account is also in your name. The customers don't care or don't notice?

Do you sell the wp templates as well?

Looking forward to the next results of your journey. Thanks a lot!

We all are grateful, thank you for teaching us many things.
I want to ask what do you do when you need to refund? The client want to send back the product. Where? To you or in China? On whose expenses? I am worried about returns ...

Thanks

AliExpress has a good protection system with full money back guarantee. So, if your customer is not satisfied with a product and asking for refund you should dispute the purchase with AliExpress seller. If you are selling not expensive products your AliExpress suppliers usually refund you quickly without having to return the items because they don't want the headache of disputes and receiving returns for relatively low value items. This enables you to give a full or partial refund to your customer through PayPal without them having returns either.

Thank you, Yaros!

I have the same problem with payment gateway as you had. Many (I didn't try all..) companies reject my business. 2 CO, Authorize,Net and others for reasons of their policies.
I wonder if I have to feel sorry for this or not. You said you lose 30% of the earnings using Pay Pal. Working with these companies the loss will be lower? To know if I have to fight more or not to be accepted.

My application for Aliexpress affiiates is still on pending.. for more than a month!!! I wrote them to hurry up but no reply....

Thanks!

Some of my friends I built similar stores for applied for Stripe and PayU and were successfully accepted. But I am not able to do the same because these companies do not accept applications from a business based in Russia.

Regarding AliExpress affiliate issues please contact me on Skype - yarosnevsky, I will try to help.

How did you get the option "PayPal Guest Checkout" on the checkout page?
I only get either login or create an account option when users try to pay.

Hi Yaros,

How are your sites doing nowadays? How much are you averaging in income for all of your sites? I know you have many sites. With the proliferation of a lot of Shopify sites nowadays doing Dropshipping from Alibaba, and advertising on FB, how is it that US Customers do not know that they have a better option to shop at AliExpress with much reduced prices? Sometimes I even see these times on Amazon prized so low since Chinese suppliers are now invading this platform just as they have invaded EBay. With that said, Ebay is a more trusted platform than AliExpress, and the prices are the same for the reason that Chinese suppliers are listing here aggressively. So does this mean that a lot of US buyers are just ignorant of these -- Amazon/Ebay? Amazon has 40% share of online business if I am not mistaken and they have prime members who don't even Google, they just go straight to Amazon to find everything they need.

First of all I target not only US but all world. Besides when you deal with cheap products offering a free shipping worldwide people usually make impulsive purchases. They just like the product you are selling, are satisfied with the price and don't want to spend more time on searching.

Now I have more than 20 sites making around $8000 monthly.

Yes I am aware of that since you have documented your journey here. Congrats on your 20 sites! You probably pretty much covered all profitable niches already.

Thanks also for sharing this information. You could have easily sold this info in a form of an ebook or a training course as other marketers would have done but you freely shared it in this forum.

Do you have VAs working for you or are you doing this on your own?

Also, what is the percentage of your non-US market?

Hello Yaros, hello Everybody,

My shop is ready for the first sale.
1. I encountered problems with companies like 2CKO and other for adding credit card payments on my shop because I sell sexy lingerie and other.
I started to ask for acceptance to all credit cards processors and almost al, reject!

Do you know if there is one to accept me? Do I lose clients not having CC on my shop?

2. I have and use for my shop a simple Pay Pal account, I do not have a company yet, could you please Yaros tell me what to do to be like your account on Pay Pal.

These things with payment made me a little sad.. I do not understand why some CC processors do not want our businesses.

Thanks!

Hi Yaros,

I've heard that Shopify sites do more in sales since the store itself helps in conversion. They usually do FB ads and make $500-1,000 or more per day with just one store. Do you think those who use wordpress may be sacrificing lost sales? The only problem with shopify is that it is costly and the apps that you need add cost more. Some people don't mind paying because they testify to making more sales with it.

I did not hear about such stats. As for me I prefer WP because I can customize whatever I like and I am sure I can earn more using WordPress instead of Shopify. However Shopify is a good platform of course.

They said that shopify sites load faster. Personally, I prefer to build these stores with WP because there are no monthly fees and can be more economical in the long run. However there is no support to ask directly and quickly if you encounter some errors with WP site. I have read some WP users that have used this platform to build their sites but because they are probably inexperienced that they are encountering some critical errors. You know what you are doing so WP is good in your case. Also, there are so many plug-ins. Don't they slow down the sites when you add them? When are you planning to release your dropshopping plug-in? Your sites are looking good and making money and you are using your plug-in right?

Another question is when you add Paypal as the check-out system, when applying for a Paypal Business account, do they require a legal/registered business name for that?

TIA.

With the premier account, when a buyer purchases from your store, does he get a receipt showing your individual name?

Yes, I think, the name is shown.

I use only two plugin - AliDropship Plugin for all dropshipping needs and SocialRabbit Plugin for social media promotion.

If it works fine for me it does not mean that it will work well for others. Not everyone is experienced in php and Java. This month the beta should be ready.

This is a real fan :-) I have a question regarding this issue. So if this person orders 10 items from different aliexpress sellers.
How do you deal with it? Do you tell him to expect different packages on different days? Also do you attach a bill in you Email for all the items? Can we have a look at a Bill that you send?

Sometimes instead of buying from Aliexpress I recommend checking some other marketplaces, at least ebay for getting the best deal.

For example I am selling this product for $59.99.

And usually order it from AliExpress seller for $34.99.

So, my profit was $25.

Recently I found the same product on eBay for only $12.36!

So, my profit now is $47.63. Feel the difference.

I want to share with you one SEO recommendation. Probably most of you already know about such essentials, but I will remind

When you start your dropshipping store, first you need to figure out what products you're going to dropship and what categories they will be divided into.

When that is decided you need to select proper keywords for your store main pages including product categories. These keywords should be incorporated into Categories names, URLs, H1 tags and meta-tags of the relevant pages.

For example, your keyword is "Harry Potter gifts", here is how the page should look like:

In fact you should pay special attention to URLs of your website - it's a must to make them as much user-friendly as possible. Use common words that are well known to every user and avoid using special symbols.

Next time I will tell you how to work with on-site SEO and organize your site content properly.

There are some questions that I am asked regularly, so I decided to create some kind of FAQ about dropshipping with AliExpress and post it here.

1. First, what exactly is drop shipping?
Drop ship, "pack and ship", "direct fulfillment" - they all mean the same thing. A supplier will ship the item to your customer for you, and you never have to handle the product. Drop shipping allows the reseller to focus on marketing the business and eliminate the hassle, time, and cost of dealing with the actual products they are selling.

AliExpress dropshipping works the same way as the traditional dropshipping business model. You copy the product from AliExpress to your own store, set your own prices/markups, and after you sell a product, you purchase it from AliExpress and have it shipped directly to your customer.

2. How exactly does the buying and selling process work?
Once you have your website up and running and filled with products from your chosen suppliers, it is time for business. When a customer buys a product from you, you will accept payment for the product for your retail price and shipping costs. Once you have received the funds, you place the order directly with the seller from AliExpress.com. This is typically a usual online order at AliExpress.com. The seller will then charge you for the cost of the item and ship the item directly to your buyer. That's it! You have just sold an item at your set retail price and processed the order for your customer.

3. Why should I decide to go with my own site instead of using eBay and Amazon?
When you have your own webstore you are not sticked to any rules and requirements of other marketplaces. Besides owing your site gives you more opportunities for promotion and marketing strategies. Furthermore, building your own site is a wise investment, because you can easily sell this business one day. Such established dropshipping websites are always a very marketable product.

Here is an example of a site that I sold on Flippa: https://flippa.com/5838845-goprostuffmarket-com

4. What kind of profit margins are there with dropshipping?
It much depends on what kind of products you are selling. It's often a good idea to stick to low price with a high margin potential. Such products usually cost within a $1-$20 price range and these products generally can be priced at $20-$50 or more.

I recommend having a profit margin of 40%-70%. You can also try this formula that works well for my own Dropshipping projects:

$0<Supplier Price<$1=Your Price: $7.95

$2<Supplier Price<$5=Your Price: $9.95

$5<Supplier Price<$30=Your Price: Supplier Price x 2

$30<Supplier Price<$50=Your Price: Supplier Price x 1.75

$50<Supplier Price<$100=Your Price: Supplier Price x 1.5

Supplier Price>$100=Your Price: Supplier Price x 1.35

5. I am concerned about the long shipping times from AliExpress
There were complaints about AliExpress regarding its delivery time before. But it should be noted that AliExpress has improved delivery time for the last year seriously and continue working on this signing agreements with major local and international postal service companies, including in US. Besides you can always use the strategy of selling not very expensive products and with free shipping option only (there are loads of such products at AliExpress). In this case customers are more willing to wait longer.

ePacket delivery:

When possible, try to only resell products that offer ePacket shipping that's free or very cheap. Because a majority of products on AliExpress come from China or Hong Kong, ePacket delivery is not only the most economical, but one of the quickest for small goods to get to the United States, as well as other countries.

6. When my customer receives the package, does it have any reciepts or AliExpress signs?
Sometimes sellers from AliExpress include their business cards in the package. Anyway you can always send a comment with your order asking your seller not to include anything. The sellers on AliExpress have a clear idea about a dropshipping business model and will be happy to assist you. As for other signs on packages like price, address, etc. I have never got any complaints from my customers. So, I think there is nothing to worry here.

7. How will I handle refunds?
AliExpress has a good protection system with full money back guarantee. So, if your customer is not satisfied with a product and asking for refund you should dispute the purchase with AliExpress seller. If you are selling not expensive products your AliExpress suppliers usually refund you quickly without having to return the items because they don't want the headache of disputes and receiving returns for relatively low value items. This enables you to give a full or partial refund to your customer through PayPal without them having returns either. The reputation of the wholesaler is rather exposed and they are willing to do anything to maintain their feedback rating.

Drop ship, "pack and ship", "direct fulfillment" - they all mean the same thing. A supplier will ship the item to your customer for you, and you never have to handle the product. Drop shipping allows the reseller to focus on marketing the business and eliminate the hassle, time, and cost of dealing with the actual products they are selling.

AliExpress dropshipping works the same way as the traditional dropshipping business model. You copy the product from AliExpress to your own store, set your own prices/markups, and after you sell a product, you purchase it from AliExpress and have it shipped directly to your customer.

2. How exactly does the buying and selling process work?
Once you have your website up and running and filled with products from your chosen suppliers, it is time for business. When a customer buys a product from you, you will accept payment for the product for your retail price and shipping costs. Once you have received the funds, you place the order directly with the seller from AliExpress.com. This is typically a usual online order at AliExpress.com. The seller will then charge you for the cost of the item and ship the item directly to your buyer. That's it! You have just sold an item at your set retail price and processed the order for your customer.

3. Why should I decide to go with my own site instead of using eBay and Amazon?
When you have your own webstore you are not sticked to any rules and requirements of other marketplaces. Besides owing your site gives you more opportunities for promotion and marketing strategies. Furthermore, building your own site is a wise investment, because you can easily sell this business one day. Such established dropshipping websites are always a very marketable product.

Here is an example of a site that I sold on Flippa: https://flippa.com/5838845-goprostuffmarket-com

4. What kind of profit margins are there with dropshipping?
It much depends on what kind of products you are selling. It's often a good idea to stick to low price with a high margin potential. Such products usually cost within a $1-$20 price range and these products generally can be priced at $20-$50 or more.

I recommend having a profit margin of 40%-70%. You can also try this formula that works well for my own Dropshipping projects:

$0<Supplier Price<$1=Your Price: $7.95

$2<Supplier Price<$5=Your Price: $9.95

$5<Supplier Price<$30=Your Price: Supplier Price x 2

$30<Supplier Price<$50=Your Price: Supplier Price x 1.75

$50<Supplier Price<$100=Your Price: Supplier Price x 1.5

Supplier Price>$100=Your Price: Supplier Price x 1.35

5. I am concerned about the long shipping times from AliExpress
There were complaints about AliExpress regarding its delivery time before. But it should be noted that AliExpress has improved delivery time for the last year seriously and continue working on this signing agreements with major local and international postal service companies, including in US. Besides you can always use the strategy of selling not very expensive products and with free shipping option only (there are loads of such products at AliExpress). In this case customers are more willing to wait longer.

ePacket delivery:

When possible, try to only resell products that offer ePacket shipping that's free or very cheap. Because a majority of products on AliExpress come from China or Hong Kong, ePacket delivery is not only the most economical, but one of the quickest for small goods to get to the United States, as well as other countries.

6. When my customer receives the package, does it have any reciepts or AliExpress signs?
Sometimes sellers from AliExpress include their business cards in the package. Anyway you can always send a comment with your order asking your seller not to include anything. The sellers on AliExpress have a clear idea about a dropshipping business model and will be happy to assist you. As for other signs on packages like price, address, etc. I have never got any complaints from my customers. So, I think there is nothing to worry here.

7. How will I handle refunds?
AliExpress has a good protection system with full money back guarantee. So, if your customer is not satisfied with a product and asking for refund you should dispute the purchase with AliExpress seller. If you are selling not expensive products your AliExpress suppliers usually refund you quickly without having to return the items because they don't want the headache of disputes and receiving returns for relatively low value items. This enables you to give a full or partial refund to your customer through PayPal without them having returns either. The reputation of the wholesaler is rather exposed and they are willing to do anything to maintain their feedback rating.

Let me ask you something if you don't mind when you first started out did paypal 180 return policy had any conflict with sales as far as returns and paypal holding your money at anytime?? And does your store policy overide paypal's 180 buyer return protection when it come to disputes?? Is paypal considered the better of the payment provider when comes to disputes with customer and if not what other payment provider do you use??

Thx

I use two main payment gateways - PayPal and Stripe. Honestly saying I have never asked my clients to return any packages. AliExpress suppliers tend to refund inexpensive products quickly without you having to return the items because they would prefer to avoid disputes and receive returns for relatively low-cost items. This enables you to issue a full or partial refund to your customer through PayPal without them having returns either.

Yes seems expensive to me also, i also have all these features on my Plugin but don't need to pay such amount every month. Don't forget that you also should pay for Shopify $30 monthly. And what if you want to create more sites? You need to pay again on monthly basis.

29$ is for 10.000 products and 500 orders
75$ is for 30.000 products and unlimited orders
so its too too expensive.
Also as Yaros indicated its Shopify cost other 30$
so the total cost is 105$ per month if this is not expensive then what i should tell?

Nice thread! I want to start doing ecommerce using Wordpress + WooCommerce instead of Shopify because it is cheaper and I want to have 100% control.

Can you tell me which plugins and add-ons etc you use for WooCommerce and do you have a plugin such as Oberlo which compiles your orders from AliXpress for you?

My plugin compiles orders but it does not support WOO and works with my own themes only. As for WOO plugin I have not checked any, heard there is one on codecanyon.

Dear Yaros, how are you?

I made a wonderful shop but I have no clients. I am in the begining of everything and confused about social media, what to do and how. Please tell us what worked for you and what did not, for us to learn, if you want to... I remember you posted once that Facebook ads did not work even many many people say is the only thing that works. My canadian friend who just launched an e shop invested money in ads on Facebook. Nothing in return. Nothing, not even a client. So... maybe she did something wrong... Or not? I did not try Facebook ads until now. Should I? What is your opinion about getting clients through social media marketing? THANKS.

I do not run Facebook ads for two reasons. 1 - I am not experienced much in FB ads and don't have time now to learn. 2 - I don't accept credit cards on my Harry site (only PayPal) and always recommend webstore owners not to launch paid ads until they connect a credit cards payment option.

my main sources of social media traffic now is Facebook and Instagram. Main strategies I am using are Facebook re-posting, Instagram shoutouts and SocialRabbit plugin.

Cool and can you set up the "free + shipping" method that is popular with Shopify? Adjust shipping price based on quantity/total weight e.g. 1 piece is $9.99, 2 pieces is $14.99 etc?

And, is that $8000 per month in profit after all expenses?

No, I have not added yet such option to my plugin. $8000 is gross profit, net profit is around $6000.

I know that $6000 is a good amount of money. But that's coming from 20 stores. I have read success stories from Shopify store owners who make $10K+ with just one store using the combination of sales funnels and FB ads. Also they said the Shopify product page converts better.

I think it has to do with the marketing strategy that you employ in your own store. I wonder if there's anything that could be done to make the WP platform do as well since I have yet to hear a testimony or a sales pitch from someone who are making more than $10K from one store using this dropshipping model as others are doing it with Shopify. Shopify has many apps (though paid) that are helping in conversions.

here you go - https://alidropship.com/story/success1/

Furthermore, I have a client who uses my solution and makes $15K monthly. So, agree with you, my profit is small comparing with some marketers but I continue working to increase it!

If you want to hear a success story directly from a successful WordPress store owner, please pm me, i will give you contact details.

As for shopify and different platforms, I think it is not right to say that some platforms can convert better. I recommend that you consider first such things like your niche, your marketing strategies, products you have on your store, competitors, pricing, payment gateways, etc.

Regarding a platform you are using it is all about convenience, usefull tools and functionality (and price!) that help you to run your business easily and save your time.

Thanks for that. I did mention about the marketing strategy, which is a major factor in the success of an online business. As we all know this include competitive pricing, branding, customer service. I am aware that you are using mainly free methods which is great.

On another note, do Aliexpress provide tracking numbers when you use the e-packet to US?

Also, in your experience, do your customers ever get charged additional import duties, taxes or other customs related charges when they receive the goods?

Yes, epacket service provides tracking id and now I am trying to use only products with epacket shipping option. It helps with solving the troubles with long delivery time greatly.

As for taxes, I am not sure if my customers have to pay any. Anyway I placed some information about taxes on my sites: Different countries have different tax rule on the imported goods. Therefore, it will be better if you know your country custom policies before your order in case of some troubles.

One thing to note is a good portion of Yaros promotions are free methods so I'm sure anybody would be content with the amount of money he is making. As he mentioned in his previous posts in this thread, he is ranking organically for keywords.
Most of the shopify owners as you mentioned are more than likely using FB paid ads which in time will eventually reach a point where their campains will no longer be profitable unless they change things up and start new campaigns.
So one must compare apples to apples here as this is a comparison between an apple and an orange lol. But either way is profitable IMO. It's up to you what promotion method you would like to partake in. Yaros is doing great with the methods he's been using in the amount of time he's been doing it and for the amount of profit he has turned.

Hi Yaros. Thanks for the great information. I have one online store with products from aliexpress (no traffic yet) and I have one doubt: I suppose you have several suppliers with aliexpress for the same store, but what do you do when a customer orders several products at once that have different suppliers, taking into consideration that the products have to arrive at the customers house at same time and each supplier have a different delivery time? Do you email the customer telling him that he has to wait for several packs arriving at different days?

You can see the products from your Import List on your site because you are log in your WordPress Dashboard. It is done for the purpose that you can check how these items will look like on your site when you publish them, but the products are not visible for your visitors.

This should work for those, who look for a dropshipping plugin for their woocommerce website: Ebay & Aliexpress WooCommerce Importer - WordPress | CodeCanyon

With this plugin, you can either use aliexpress affiliate system directly, or you can import the products to your website, multiply the price as you wish, sell them directly from your website. This is the only solution sofar that I have found to create a wordpress based dropshipping website with woocommerce.

Yes, right, packages can come from different suppliers in different time. I inform my clients about it before and after purchase. No complaints so far.

Hello ppl, Fisrt of all I bought the package and I am not a beta tester. I start to using the Alidropship, since now I have one thing to say.
The whole procedure is too simple... I choose the items that i want to import them to my e-shop. for those that they want to check my e-shop is Online shopping for handbags with free worldwide shipping I also has the social Rabbit that it seems too promising.
So the posting to social media is from social rabbit.
it is the 4 day and i must say that I have a lot of page views... So I will post here for orders etc.
I used also shopify and oberlo but it was too expensive for me. I invest one time some money and now i am enjoying the automate procedures for life. I must say that i pay the hosting provider. A good tip I used godaddy offer with 1 euro per month/year.
Now for the script, it has everything that you want, and all the items are imported with the variables that they have also the prices for each one and stock. it automatically updates the stock and the prices with the price margins that I want.
You must find the formula for the prices that you want.
There are few changes that they must do and as i speak with my Support Manager they will do it with the next update. (this week) So also the supporting is a good standing team.

Yaros you have done a great work with this script and i must say that i am too enthusiastic to be a member in your work.
I hope to enjoy sales.

For everyone, if you want the best script for dropship... Do not look around... you find it!!!

Thanks again Yaros for your great work...

One thing I notice is that the theme for all the stores are the same. It looks like an Aliexpress Affiliate store.

How much did you pay for your store and are you paying monthly fee for the social plugin?

My Alidropship Plugin Review

I have been a big fan of this thread since discovering it last year. That is why I made a lot of research on drop-shipping and many drop-shippers who blog about their drop-shipping experiences would advise against it. I think it’s mainly because searching for good suppliers can be challenging. Still, I followed Yaros’ journey. It’s beneficial for everyone in this forum because he lets us see the “behind-the-scenes” of drop-shipping.

Just this week, he announced the release of his plugin (FINALLY! I know everyone here are excited about Alidropship), and a few days later posted about looking for beta testers - I’m glad I was chosen because I’ve been hoping to get that Aliexpress plugin that costs around $40 - but this one’s better. I think Yaros has already discussed the differences of the two..

Installation:

If you are experienced with Wordpress, this one’s not a problem for you. You just upload the Alidropship plugin like you would normal plugin. Then upload the custom theme that Yaros designed. It’s exactly like the one you see on WorldOfHarry.com.

Problems encountered:

I’m basically a Wordpress noob, so I had a hard time uploading the plugin and theme because it’s above the limit of what my server allows me to upload to the site. I spent 4 hours figuring out how to increase file size upload XD. After solving the problem, I was able to install the plugin and theme in a few seconds.

What You Get:

Alidropship has its own dashboard (within your WP dashboard) where you can check reports regarding orders, revenue, traffic and sales. You’ll also get a summary of reports where you can view your top 5 products, customers, and categories.

Here are the great features:

Import Products and Import Reviews.

You get to import products from AliExpress straight from your dashboard. Just fill in the keywords of products you want to sell, and their price (for example $1 - $10), and reviews (from 1 star to 5 star - personally, I choose products with 4-5 stars). The plugin will filter these products to show you without actually going to Aliexpress.com. You can then import the products you want to show to your site, edit through the product page and then publish.

If you want to import straight from the AE site, you can just simply use the Alidropship chrome extension. (haven’t used this method yet).

The plugin allows you to import product reviews for the ones you have on your store. You can choose to import reviews with certain number of stars (as for me, I import reviews with 3 and above ratings.)

Another thing I love about the plugin is the ability to enter your cash-back URL from Admitad or EPN Aliexpress. I didn’t really consider signing up for those when Yaros mentioned in his journey that he’s an AE affiliate, but this plugin telling me that I can get an 8% cashback per order made me sign up. It only took 5 minutes to do that.

PRICING

The plugin can automatically set the prices of the products you import when you customize the pricing formula. You can multiply original price to up to 4x and can also simply add a specific amount to a range of prices.

For example:

$0.05 < cost < $0.99 = cost x 4

$50 < cost <$60 = cost + $10

This means you don’t have to set product prices individually.

INVENTORY

You don’t have to worry about displaying products on your site that are no longer available from your supplier. You can choose to delete or send them to draft as soon as the supplier’s inventory hits 0.

Alidropship also allows you to create coupon codes for you customers.

Theme Review

I have used WooCommerce before, and even those WooCommerce themes need a few hours of setting up. Yaros’ theme is easy to setup, the customization is straight to the point.

NOTE: WP Has a built in Customize page but you can’t customize Yaros’ theme within that. After installation, his theme will create a new “Customization” tab in the main dashboard where you can edit the appearance of your site.

Problem Encountered:

After setting up the homepage, I still could not see the homepage that I wanted (Just a blank page with all the menus and footer setup, nothing else). I slept through the night thinking what could be wrong. The next day, I went to Settings > Reading and set the front page display as “Your latest posts”. It solved the problem XD

As you can see, all the problems I encountered can be easily fixed by someone who’s very familiar with website processes.

And yeah, I mentioned that I used WooCommerce before. That required manual search of products and downloading of images without watermarks. Sometimes the image processing alone eats up my time. While working a full time job, I can only post at most 5 products per day.

Alidropship makes the job a lot easier. The plugin can import all the product details exactly how you see them on AE. But I wouldn’t personally post them exactly like that. Edit the titles, description and remove images with watermarks. Product variations are also imported.

You don’t have to worry about your inventory anymore - this makes more time for marketing and I would definitely buy another license for future drop-shipping niches.

SUPPORT

Yaros is quick when answering inquiries (even if they’re so simple). He actually was even willing to work in my WP dashboard when I had problems importing reviews. Problem was solved quickly.

Future Developments:

I think it would be great if buyers have the ability to add products to a wishlist. More choices of themes too

))

Sorry for my long post.

Here Is My REVIEW

I too was given the opportunity to beta test the plugin and I would like to thank Yaros for the opportunity.

All I can say is, IMPRESSIVE!

I found the plugin/theme very simple and easy to use. As with many other themes/plugins that are not easy to use, Yaros plugin/theme is a breath of fresh air. Both the theme and plugin settings are on the wp dashboard and within each setting everything is broken down by category for customizing the site (ie...color changes, product importing, adding logo, SEO, etc...). As mentioned above, I had a problem with the site not displaying but I believe it was because I didn't have the plugin activated at the time. Although many would be running to ask for support but I assumed the theme and plugin are built to integrate with one another so I activated the plugin and low and behold the site was up and running. Other than that, I've been building out my site and have only had one other issue with the price not reflecting the markup I had in the settings. In fact is was double the amount but again, it was not anything to do with the theme or plugin, it was more than likely user error as I was making multiple changes to quickly, not allowing the theme/plugin the time to update (which I assume has something to do with chron jobs...but I'm not a programmer). I can be a little OCD at times lol. After that one hiccup, things are running smooth like butter.

The only thing that I can see that is a Con is not having the ability to change the theme but I believe Yaros was after the look and feel of Aliexpress. Also, I did see that he has added 2 more themes which is a plus.

As time progresses, things will only get better as Yaros makes updates and additions.

Here is my wishlist:
1. Ability to modify and change colors deeper within pages. (Note: With a little CSS knowledge you can make the changes yourself such as I did).
2. Exit Popup
3. Add function in the alidropship plugin backend to allow one to pull Epacket or DHL free shipping vendors. (Note: You can still do this by doing it manually and utilizing the chrome extension).
4. Ability to integrate an abandoned cart plugin at checkout.
5. I'm sure I'll have more as I get more acclimated to the theme/plugin.

Thank You Yaros...Keep up the great work!!!

Having a phone number on your site does bring peace of mind to your consumers and people you do business with. It gives your visitors more trust and removes any fear they may have before a purchase.

Even if you don't want to answer calls and speak with your clients, we recommend registering a Skype number with a voicemail option. In this case your customers will have a possibility to see and call a real number and leave messages that you can get directly on your email.

1. Sign in to your Skype account. Select Skype Number in the Manage features section and click Get a Skype Number.

2. Select a country and location (city/state) this phone number will belong to. For example, if the majority of your clients are from US, then there is a sense to get a US number. Then choose one of the numbers available and make a purchase. The cost of a Skype Number subscription varies depending on which country you want the Skype Number for and how long the subscription lasts (3 or 12 months).

3. Go to Voice Messages in the Manage features section and Enable voice messaging. Activate email Alerts and set your email address to get voice message.

4. Finally go to Skype Preferences -> Calls. Set Incoming Calls to Send to voice message.

Here you can also setup voice messaging. You can record your own one or order a professional voice-over from Fiverr.

Here is a sample script you can use:

"Thank you for calling our webstore. No one is available to answer your call right now. Please leave your contact information and we'll get back to you as soon as possible".

Finally, I have registered my own LLC (Limited Liability Company) in US to help me run my dropshipping business.

May be some information below will be useful for those who want to establish a company in US from overseas.

Why do I need it?

I think, running your dropshipping business under a US company has many advantages.

If you or your business are based not in US, you are limited with a choice of payment gateways you can use on your store. in my case I was not able to integrate Stripe, Authorize, PayU and other systems to start accepting credit cards on my sites. Actually there are many other solutions of course, but they all did not meet my needs. For example, in Russia I can easily connect local payment processors, but the problem is that according to Russian law you can show your clients only Rubbles on checkout page (not US Dollars or any other currency). So, this fact makes all these systems absolutely useless for me.

Another advantage is that you can choose any State for registration (no-sales-tax state or a state that suits your business better). And you don't need to present any documents, only information. You also don't need to be present in the U.S. to register a company. All filings can be done remotely, electronically.

Other important thing that as a foreigner you are not required to have Social Security Number to open your company and obtain EIN (company tax ID). You also don't need to have a U.S. address or phone number, however if you like it's possible to obtain them from specializing vendors.

How much does it cost?

I paid $634 for LLC and + $299 for U.S. Business and mailing address. It took around a month to complete everything.

What about opening US bank account?

After 9/11 and with the passing of the Patriot Act it became really hard for foreigners to open U.S. bank accounts. Only a trip to the US would present you with the best opportunity to open a bank account.

But in most cases what you need is not a bank account, but the functions provided by a traditional bank account. For this purpose you can use a reloadable prepaid debit card from companies like NetSpend, Payoneer, Payza. What you get is an internationally recognised debit card and an account number with routing and ABA numbers that you can connect to your 2checkout, Stripe, etc. accounts. As for me I successfully connected my Payoneer card to Stripe.

What about Tax?

I mean, you will earn money on your US LLC but then where do you pay Tax, in US or in Russia?

I wonder how this works as it sounds interesting.

I am still researching this subject deciding what is better for me.

I am researching this subject now to determine what is better for me.

As far as I know the main two types of taxes a foreign U.S. business owner should be concerned about are income tax and sales tax.Technically, each taxpayer must pay tax on the income created in the US.

Sales tax is a tax paid by the end user of a tangible product sold by a dropshipper. This tax is paid on a state level (there is currently no national sales tax or VAT).

For example, if you own electronics web store while your business is registered in NYC, and a customer buys an item in your store, you would apply 8.875% (as of 2013) tax on top of the price paid by the customer. Then you are responsible to file a sales tax report to NY state and rpay all the tax money collected from the customers. Using my plugin I can get a 8.5% cash-back from AliExpress, so actually I think it can cover all my sales taxes.

Thanks for the explanation.

Although it is still not much clear whether i should pay tax in my country too or only in US if income is generated on a LLC company as yours.

For some reasons seems like i have a problem over here in order to work with a dropship site due to my tax position so i rather change my tax profile (which i don't want as it's a convenient one) or i have to look for other ways like the one you mentioned,

Are you able to accept payment via 2Checkout for your store? I applied for a 2Checkout account and after feeding them with lots of documents one by one, like my citizen id card, utility bill, bank statement, phone bill, retailer - supplier agreements for my business; they simply declined my account with no clear explanation. I called them and was told that my documents cannot be accepted! I wonder, is it the dropshipping model that they did not like or what? I wonder how other people are processing payments with 2checkout for their dropshipping store!

2CO works strange. One of my clients applied recently and was also declined. The next day he asked his girlfriend to apply using the same site and the account was approved. Wired.

Hey Yaros,

Regarding Payoneer + Stripe. How did you pull that off? My only available payment option is 2CO, and they rejected me because my store has more than one niche.

I want to use Stripe, and i have Payoneer card. Could you tell me the steps? i would be very happy

Like what country did you choose on Stripe AND Shopify? did you change your country to Shopify too? or you don't have to? and you just have to choose US in only the Stripe account?

I really want to know these details because i'm struggling at choosing a payment option and i don't want PayPal as the only option for customers to buy.

Thanks.

Yes, it's possible, if you can translate it yourself, we can integrate the translation (about 1000 words and phrases).

Yes, it's possible, if you can translate it yourself, we can integrate the translation (about 1000 words and phrases).

I send all suppliers the message: We are dropshipping! Please don't include any invoices and promo materials into the package.

So far, no complaints from my customers.

I got LLC in US to register with Stripe. So my solution is: US LLC+Stripe+Payoneer.

Yaros, Why you have to use Stripe and Payoneer both? What are the differences between them?

Stripe is a payment gateway I integrated with my stores and Payoneer is a system to withdraw money from my Stripe account.

May be some information below will be useful for those who want to establish a company in US from overseas.

Why do I need it?

I think, running your dropshipping business under a US company has many advantages.

If you or your business are based not in US, you are limited with a choice of payment gateways you can use on your store. in my case I was not able to integrate Stripe, Authorize, PayU and other systems to start accepting credit cards on my sites. Actually there are many other solutions of course, but they all did not meet my needs. For example, in Russia I can easily connect local payment processors, but the problem is that according to Russian law you can show your clients only Rubbles on checkout page (not US Dollars or any other currency). So, this fact makes all these systems absolutely useless for me.

Another advantage is that you can choose any State for registration (no-sales-tax state or a state that suits your business better). And you don't need to present any documents, only information. You also don't need to be present in the U.S. to register a company. All filings can be done remotely, electronically.

Other important thing that as a foreigner you are not required to have Social Security Number to open your company and obtain EIN (company tax ID). You also don't need to have a U.S. address or phone number, however if you like it's possible to obtain them from specializing vendors.

How much does it cost?

I paid $634 for LLC and + $299 for U.S. Business and mailing address. It took around a month to complete everything.

What about opening US bank account?

After 9/11 and with the passing of the Patriot Act it became really hard for foreigners to open U.S. bank accounts. Only a trip to the US would present you with the best opportunity to open a bank account.

But in most cases what you need is not a bank account, but the functions provided by a traditional bank account. For this purpose you can use a reloadable prepaid debit card from companies like NetSpend, Payoneer, Payza. What you get is an internationally recognised debit card and an account number with routing and ABA numbers that you can connect to your 2checkout, Stripe, etc. accounts. As for me I successfully connected my Payoneer card to Stripe.

what service do you use to open LLC in us?

So I'm a Beta-Tester for AliDropship and here is the site I built with it;
http://sherpamountaingear.com/

I spent under an hour on the store and it looks amazing. I have a couple links and graphics still to change but nonetheless, a full functional store in less than an hour. I personally love the ease of use and haven't used anything like it. I am truly impressed as this is the solution of been waiting for.

There are a couple of items I'm going to suggest to Yaros but really, this is a game changer, I'm already wanting a multi-site license as I'm ready to start pumping out amazing stores like the one I just built.

Thank You Yaros! Truly a developer that knows what hes doing and actually uses what he builds.

I found this as well:

Silver bullet for helping small businesses trade: Plurilateral agreement on de minimis

Kati Suominen
March 2016

On February 11, 2016, the US Senate passed the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015, which, among other things, raises the threshold for de minimis - the maximum value of an import that is exempt from customs duties and complicated rules of origin - from $200 to $800. This move should help especially for micro- and small businesses and individuals that use ecommerce to import single shipments and small parcels. It is now time to raise these levels internationally to further spur US trade, through a plurilateral agreement on de minimis.

I think this is how we in the US can not be charged duties and so on.......as long as you don't import something that is more than 800 dollars.

At least that is the way I read it.

Which is great for anyone using Aliexpress, etc. if the article is correct.

Here is a link to the article:

I'm the one of happy beta testers of AliDropship plugin and I can say its really amazing. First time I read this thread I was really excited about this business model and try to estimate how much time it will take to develop similar shop from scratch with ruby on rails framework (which I'm currently working with). The answer was - really much time. Now I see the results of Yaros work and understand what a great and huge work is done.
Plugin works stable, its easy to use - 1-2 hours and shop is ready for traffic and sales. It solve the problem with technical part of this business, all you need is to pick a right niche and promote your shop, so you focus on promotion and SEO, not on technical problems and coding. And if you will read Yaros posts from this thread you will know how to promote your store with low cost or free methods.
I buy domain on GoDaddy for $1 with promocode, find promocode for $25 credit on DigitalOcean, where I can get VPS for $5/month, setup VPS by myself and in sum I start a store with $1 for 5 first months.Its fantastic. Thank you Yaros for all your great work!

I am one of the beta testers and i have to say that this is one of the best plugins i ever used.

It is easy to use and with plenty features that will get an ecommerce working in a few hours.

I don't see anything else to add at the moment but would still try to test it as much as i do in case i believe new features would be useful.

Great work so far, thanks for this awesome plugin Yaros!

How do you deal with an order that is being shipped from multiple vendors?
Do you send the custom a bunch of tracking numbers?

It seems hard to explain to the customer why there are so many tracking numbers for them, especially if there is more than 3.

What if a seller promises to send via ePacket, but then sends by Air Mail?

Thanks.

I inform my clients that the packages can come from different places. There are no any complaints usually.

When placing an order on AliExpress leave a note for a seller that you need epacket option only.

Hi Yaros,

I gonna try your dripshipping plugin shortly.
One question before I begin.

I intend to focus on the market of Russia/Ukraine/Belarus/Kazakhstan.
This means that:
- prices should be shown in ruble/grivna/tenge
- it should be possible to translate product texts to russian
- it should be possible to translate user interface to russian
- I am not sure PayPal is the most popular payment system in these countries, so it would be nice to have support of the native systems like Yandex.money etc.

How hard would it be to customize your plugin to tackle the above?

I am comfortable doing some programming if needed. The question is how open is your code to make such customization hooks myself?

I don't run paid ads, however the plugin updates products and if an item disappears from AliExpress, the system reports about it. You can just change a product ID of an item to take the same product from another supplier without deleting the product page.

Yes, you can setup different currencies, as well as use Russian on products' descriptions and plugin/theme interface. As for payment methods, I have not tried yet Yandex or Robokassa, but I think it will not be a problem to integrate them

Made an account because of this topic. Many thanks, Yaros.

I see you haven't really talked about taxation. In Europe we have sales tax at around 20% in most countries. That is, if I sell something for 100 euros I have to send the tax authorities 20 euros.

I assume something similar exists in the USA and I was wondering if you have accounted for this in your earnings reports.

I tried to make my first ad campaign on Facebook Business Manager. OMG, it's a pain in the ass, you can not anymore post from your page, only from this BM interface. I removed my page from this and wrote a complaint to the great FacebooK!!!

They did not replied but made something horrible EXTRA: banned me for posting in groups for a week and joining groups as well.
I do not know what rule I did not respect,they did not reply to my other complaint.
I wrote to Zuckerberg, no reply. Maybe you know what is to be done to not be banned for posting in groups. I wonder how you, Yaros can post in groups because they are chasing us... They need our money and do not like to post for free.
AM I wrong? Please somebody advice about posting in groups or other forms without being banned by the great boss who do not reply to clients, Facebook!!!

My Honest Review:

I bought the plugin, not a beta tester. Just to wanted to put this upfront.

The whole plugin and theme package is great. Truly could save a whole chunk of your time. Especially with the functions to pull information from aliexpress directly. And not forgetting the pricing markup formula <-- now this is a life saver for me really saved another chunk of my time.

And I think Yaros didn't mention this... That is directly from within your wordpress backend you could just at a click of a button and the seller page from aliexpress would pop up. That means more additional time saved and it's a hassle free system. (Cause I used to do this with a spreadsheet.)

There are some other functions which I've not fully used yet.. So gonna skip those.

Overall, I'll say its a good bargain for the price. Considering the time that you'll be saving to focus more on other things. Especially the marketing part.
And not forgetting Yaros even provided us with his whole dropshipping journey on this thread. Now that itself is an enormous value that is already given by Yaros without even we having to purchase anything.

Cheerios.

Hello

I have some questions:

1) For exemple, in one day, the Alidropship site have 30 purchases:

- purchase 1: 50,00€
-- Product 1 for 10,00€ Cost 5,00€ on aliexpress
-- Product 5 for 40,00€ Cost 20,00€ on aliexpress

- purchase 2: 40,00€
-- Product 1 for 10,00€ Cost 5,00€ on aliexpress
-- Product 4 for 30,00€ Cost 15,00€ on aliexpress

- ... more 28 purchase

After that, have some auto process to buy on aliexpress ?

Need to buy any purchases individually ? Or have some bulk option to buy all 30 purchases ?
Example 1:
- Buy all itens on purchase 1, pay 25,00€ and shipping costs, communicate buyer 1 shipping address
- Buy all itens on purchase 2, pay 20,00€ and shipping costs, communicate buyer 2 shipping address
- ... more 28
Example 2:
- all purchases are communicated, communicate buyer's shipping address, pay one time all purchases (including shipping costs)

2) In the site menu, have the possibility of having a second level and even third?

Menu
- Title 1
-- Sub Title 1.1
-- Sub Title 1.2
--- Sub Title 1.2.1
- Title 2
-- Sub Title 2.1
--- Sub Title 2.1.1
--- Sub Title 2.1.2
-- Sub Title 2.2
--- Sub Title 2.2.1

3) In the home page, have the option to have some other blocks of products?
have:
- Top selling products
- Best deals
- New Arrivals

Using the info site of your site worldofharry.com, also have a highlighted category in addition to the points mentioned above, for example, "Magic Wands".

4) Possibility to have a category and a block on home page, like who mentioned on point 3, with promotions ( daily or week deal's ) ?
This is increase Sales because some users have impulse purchases.

Yaros is doing well because he is doing trademarked stuff that already have a huge following.

Some people are saying that soon many people will find out about AliExpress and they will buy directly from there so it is good while it lasts. AE even has apps to entice buyers directly. People will all be buying directly from China in the future. Hope we can make money out of dropshipping while it is still at this stage.

I started getting many sales after this holiday last year, so I don't know how it can affect my business. Let's see how we sale through it this year...

Hi Yaros,

I've already bought the plugin and even though the Zend Guard Loader is activated, it comes with an error.

I've already sent a Skype request and look forward to your support.

I often come across with this problem. Hosting providers claim that they activated Zend Guard loader, but they enable everything (Zend system, Zend optimiser, etc.) but not Zend Guard loader. So, if the system says - Zend Guard loader error, it means that Zend Guard loader is not activated on your server.

Hi boys and girls!

I'm trying to understand the concept of niche and taking as an exemple Yaros' WorldOfHarry shop. Don't take it bad or something (just trying to understand things), what is the targetted niche in this? Harry Potter? Isn't it a wide niche?

Thanks!

Yaros,

Still waiting to get all of this information setup. I understand your team is probably not in the United States, but I am curious as to why you don't have some sort of 24/7 service provider in place for your hosting services?

I've been waiting hours now to try and get everything setup in regards to your hosting service.

Hey Yaros, wonderful work with both WorldOfHarry and the AliDropship plugin, you definitely know your way around this business

Just a quick question from a potential buyer, I see that on the new website you have mentioned earlier (nailsstuff.com) there are ratings shown on the products, but the reviews are not showing up at all on the product's pages. Is it because of the problem loading reviews from Aliexpress?

Thanks!

That's nice to hear someone else's success story in business. I for his failure in business should not be able to blame Yaros. None of us has promised to give us the money in hand, a machine for making money. I have purchased from him aliplugin and alidropship, I'm new in this job but I can only thank him because he unselfishly, step by step explained everything to do and it's not that, I would not have to raise any site.

Legitsellerusa, congratulations on a successful business, I hope one day I will also come to such earnings. If not a secret, how much time do you need to come up to 2000 dollars a month. Thank you.

People will all be buying directly from China in the future. Hope we can make money out of dropshipping while it is still at this stage.

Sorry for bringing this post up again and going slightly off-topic, but it doesn't make sense that everyone will be buying directly from China. Dropshipping is going on for years and keeps on growing, there are endless markets where people prefer a positive buying experience, rather than skimming through a giant wholesaler trying to find what you - the dropshipper - have already found and promoting for them. They will gladly purchase from you because you appeal to their niche and you have what they were looking for.

By your little theory all malls will eventually shut down, that's just not going to happen.

Buying from the mall and making your purchase online are two different things. Online purchase basically involves the same process. For savvy buyers who want to make the most economical purchases, they look around and many people including Americans and others are already making their purchases from AE. Of course malls will not shut down since there will be some people who still prefer buying the traditional way and want to see the product first hand although if you research more and more stores are closing down because sales are dwindling since people are now making purchases online with the ever-increasing technology made available to make purchases seamless and hassle-free. Now it's just a matter of time when AE becomes as famous as Amazon. Of course you can still sell to people who do not care about shopping around but not to budget-conscious consumers who know that they can buy the same products from AE and get it shipped at the same amount of time that these ecommerce stores are offering.

In my opinion niche stores will be always popular.

AliExpress is widely known as a huge online trading platform where you can find practically everything. Nevertheless, customers looking for a specific product tend to place their orders on a niche site that is devoted to this or that particular product category. It can be explained by the following reasons:

1. There are more than 100 000 items currently listed on AliExpress. Therefore, its not that easy to look through numerous product options and choose the one that fully suits ones needs.

2. Niche webstores are made by people who are passionate and well-educated about this particular sphere. Therefore, in such a store customers find themselves in a friendly atmosphere of well-informed experts who are true fans of their own products.

3. As the result, you can count on a high quality customer support these webstores can quickly and fully answer all the niche-related questions if necessary.

4. Nicely and professionally designed niche stores with affordable items easily prompt visitors to make a purchase. Impulse buying, in turn, boosts a webstore performance.

5. Speaking of impulse purchases, its necessary to say that the whole procedure of buying in niche stores is really easy. They provide a great shopping experience since you can check out even without registering, and make a payment directly through PayPal. Even if customers dont have any previous experience of online buying, they will have no technical troubles at all.

Around 80% of all my Facebook promotion work is done by SocialRabbit plugin. It posts products, entertaining content, visits other niche-related groups, likes posts, leaves comments attracting users to my page. Besides, I am doing re-posting on other popular groups myself (I was describing this strategy here before).

This month I have a new leader in my collection! HokageStore.com

Almost $1500 of net profit after the first week of this month (a bit more than WorldofHarry). However, i spent $89 on Instagram shoutouts.

btw I found a group in Instagram that has 2mln. subscribers and the owner of it allows shoutouts for $180. It seemed expensive to me but after I realised that it is only $9 for 100,000 I found it as a good deal. I will try it soon and let you know about my results.

I assume something similar exists in the USA and I was wondering if you have accounted for this in your earnings reports.

You are right, this topic is very important and I must admit that i am not experienced in it much. I am going to research it more deeply asap. As for my current situation with taxes, I don't need to pay sales taxes or VAT in my country but I am paying tax on the net profit that is 18%.

There is an Import reviews option on the Plugin that adds reviews directly from AliExpress to comments section of your site.

There is no such option (to finish the buying process on your site), because you are using AliPlugin that is developed for affiliate purposes only.

DH Gate is a good platform, but in my opinion it can't compete with AliExpress regarding affiliate business.

Hi Yaros, thank you for such as great guidance on dropshipping. I'm enjoying reading this thread from the page one, and I'm interested with your Alidropship plugin.
Anyway, do you have any plan to provide trial period or something like that? Because the license modal you've set ($85 for 1 site) is quite expensive(at least for me lol) for starting and testing a topic. It's even more expensive than shopify+oberlo (they provide 14 days trial where if we're not succeed we can simply to stop using it). I'm also wondering whether you're going to sell developer license too in the future so we can use it in unlimited websites

BAM! that's cool! more questions, I read that the plugin comes with a companion wordpress theme, my questions :
1. how many theme you provide for 1 license?
2. how hard to modify the theme?
3. Is it possible to use other wp themes instead of provided themes?
4. Do we still need to install other plugins such as cache plugin or seo plugin or alidropping is a complete package?

For this moment the plugin comes with one theme. Another two will be available soon. There is no possibility to use other themes, however the plugin will support WOO themes in future. As for plugins you can use any, but it is not necessary, AliDropship provides all important features and options.

Hi Guys

I recently got my hands on the plugin and for those who are on the side lines for buying it, here is my honest opinion to help you guys out.

I ventured into the dropshipping stores a while ago and the hardest part of the whole game is the set up and management of the products/ store. Adding individual products is NOT easy by any stretch of the imagination. There are a multitude of images to add just for one single product, aside from a bunch of variations that normally apply. That's why I decided to try the plugin to automate the process. There were other plugin options available for automating the store but I decided to try Alidropship because it doesn't need shopify or woocommmerce; it is an all in one out of the box solution. You get a ready built ecom theme that fits the plugin like a glove. I am sure that Yaros will have plans for more themes in the future, but the key point is that you DON'T need to pay extra for shopify with this plugin.

So far I absolutely LOVE this tool. Yaros has created something that is worth every penny for a store owner. If you have a similar store then you already know how hard it is to manage it, but this tool makes it as easy as a few clicks to add and manage products. You simply browse and choose the products you want to add and once you have made your choices, just click a button and they are auto imported to your site. You can then customise the products as you wish (or leave them as they are) and apply custom formulas (simple school maths) to set your profit margins. The beauty is that the profit margins stay consistent with the price automatically, and adjust if the price is adjusted by the supplier. In addition, the products are auto updated/ removed in line with the suppliers updates on Aliexpress. This feature alone saves a HUGE amount of time and effort in monitoring your products to ensure they are up to date.

There are many other features to this plugin that make it great but I don't want to turn this post into a tutorial. The one thing I came to post here was to say that if you are starting this business then this plugin is a MUST. It will save you countless hours in struggling with the management of your store and will leave you to concentrate the more important side, the marketing.
I hope that helps!

There is one issue with aliexpress and it is that their delivery time is way too long. If they could increase their delivery speed then it would be really the best thing. The delivery time should not be more than 10 days or two weeks at the maximum. Anything more than that is counterproductive specially for some niches because a lot of purchases maybe made in the spur of the moment.

Here is a simple instruction about how to negotiate with Instagram group owners about launching Instagram Shoutouts for your dropshipping webstore.

Once you have selected the preferred accounts (the more the better) where you want to launch Shoutouts with your ads, you need to contact the owners of these accounts through Instagram Direct. Please note that unfortunately this function is not available on PC - on Instagram you can only send direct messages from your mobile phone or tablet.

Log in to your Instagram account and search for the chosen accounts using the search bar, then simply proceed to contact the owners of these accounts.

Step 1: Acquaintance

You: Hello! My name is ..... Your account is really great! I would like to ask if you are interested in paid shoutouts on your account? In case you are, please contact me via private message or through e-mail myaddress@gmail.com to discuss details. I can create shoutouts for you on my account as well. Thank you in advance!

Account Owner: Hello! Shoutout is $25. Shoutout is live for 24 hours.

Step 2: PayPal account and posting time

You: Please send me your PayPal account details so that I can make payment. What time is it now in your country?

Account Owner: My PayPal is ......@gmail.com. It's 4.13 am now. I only accept payments as friends/family because of the PayPal fees. Please send money as a friend or family if you want to start the shoutout.

*NOTE: The question about time zone is relevant because you will probably target customers living in some specific region, so the timing will matter. To check time zones, you can use this time converter: EST to UTC Converter - Convert Eastern Time to Universal Time - World Time Buddy. You can choose the most convenient time for you and ask an account owner about the opportunity of posting at this exact time. Besides, you can also ask the account owner about their professional opinion on the most suitable time for posting. They usually track the subscribers' activity in their accounts and can give you good recommendations. It is also important to ask an account owner not to post anything after your shoutout in next 7-8 hours.

You: Could you start the shoutout today at 1pm EDT?

Account owner: Yes, I can.

You: Great! I will send you money and information in the next 30 minutes.

Step 3: Sending money and information

You: I've sent you the payment. Could you check it please? Post this information at 2 pm EDT.

*NOTE: It's better to send a print screen of your payment. It will help the account owner to check information quickly.

You: [Image]

You: [Caption]

Stainless Steel Fried Egg Mold for only $9.99 (FREE shipping worldwide!) Isn't it cool? Check out @ksort_kitchen or Ksort.com for more deals like that!

*NOTE: You can also ask an account owner to place a link to your product in his profile BIO.

You: Please post the link in your bio: Egg Yolk Separator (Egg Divider) - free shipping worldwide Tag me on the photo when you post. Thank you!

Step 4. Checking

Account owner: Ok! I've got the payment. I will post at 2 pm EDT. Thank you.

*NOTE: Check your Shoutout right after posting. If the account owner did not tag you in the photo or wrote something wrong, you can ask him or her to make the necessary changes.

Regarding the price for a shoutout I would recommend paying around $10 per 100,000 subscribers for one Shoutout (for example, if a group has 300,000 followers, a $30 price for one Shoutout is fine). You can pay more or less of course, but in general you can stick to this amount.

In this post you can go over the basic settings and features of AliDropship Plugin.

After you have successfully installed WordPress and setup the Plugin and theme you need to go to AliDropship menu and enter your personal license key to activate the plugin.

After successful activation you will get access to all Plugin sections and can check your main Dashboard. Here you will find information about your recent orders, traffic stats and other webstore activities.

To get a more detailed information about your Sales and Traffic, visit Reports section. Simply connect your Google Analytics to the Plugin to get a detailed data about your visitors and traffic sources.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KplNndSQ9GY

Easily search and add products to your site. Specify categories, keywords, purchase volume and other filtering options to find the best products. Or just visit AliExpress.com, find a necessary item and import it directly in your site in just one click using a special Google Chrome extension that comes with the Plugin. A desired product will appear on your site instantly with all variations, images, description, information about stock and pricing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-4p-_9fWwg

While searching and importing products from AliExpress, the extension shows you the products with epacket shipping – the best shipping option you should use in your drosphipping business with AliExpress.

And you don’t have to worry about changes in products prices, variations and inventory. The Plugin auto updating system is keeping your product info fresh with the latest data from AliExpress.

Besides the products, there is also the feature to import reviews in your site directly from AliExpress.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebzMBa4Fhac

AliDropship Plugin features a profound system for pricing markup – the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit. After you determined the rules, all new products that you will import in your store will have prices according to the formula. If you need apply the formula for existent products on your site, you just click update button.

You can show prices in different currencies on your site and also activate Rounding option and Assign cents. For example, if the product price is $4.19, it will be converted in $4. If you assigned .99 cents, this amount will be added to the final price.

Using the Plugin shipping section, one can set different shipping options and apply them to all products or to particular items only.

Useful marketing tools are also available with the Plugin and include following options:

Email Lists

The Plugin collects not only the emails of your customers but also email of users who leave their emails on your site but did not complete a purchase.

Discount Coupons

Run sales and promotions by offering coupon codes that save customers money. You choose whether the discount is for dollars off, a percentage off, free shipping, etc.

Abondoned Cart

Cart Abandonment happens due to a variety of reasons and sending mail (with follow up mails) can be the best way to Recover Abandoned Carts which is exactly what the Plugin does. You can use a set of pre-loaded professional emails or you can create and add your own templates.

Another great feature of AliDropship Plugin is AliExpress Cash-back system. The cash-back scheme works as follows: you use a special affiliate link and purchase the desired products. After the products are delivered, part of the cost is returned to you on your affiliate account. Then you can withdraw your money, getting an additional bonus to your main dropshipping source of income.

To activate this system, you just need to register with AliExpress Admitad or AliExpress EPN network, get your affiliate link and place it in the special field on Plugin settings.

Once you get an order, you visit Orders section and click Place Order button. If you setup your cash-back URL before, you will be redirected to AliExpress through your affiliate link. You buy an item for your client and automatically get from 7 to 15% commission on your account.

Finally, the AliDropship Plugin features built-in themes that you can easily customise and setup according to your own preferences.

All themes are mobile-friendly and have professional stylish design to meet all modern requirements and trends of successful online stores.

Hi Yaros or anyone else who may know the answer,

With little wordpress experience, after installing the plugin how hard is it to get the site looking like one of the example sites such as Worldofharry.com. Do you need a reasonable amount of experience with wordpress to create the site or is it a matter of just adding your own pictures, products and so on.

Thanks

Love this thread, I am now following and will be re-entering the dropship market once I can pick up your plug-in. I've been looking for something to help automate and make dropshipping quicker, where I can focus on promotion instead of fulfilling orders so often.

For your videos, I would be careful placing the "-50%" stickers beside the prices. Some people may think you mean $9.99 with 50% off at $5. I used to work at a call centre for a mail order company and that's how they displayed prices. People got confused and we ended up needing to give them an additional 50% off to avoid any litigation suits.

Gone through the whole thread here... Looks like a really great plugin. Every once in a while something really useful comes along...

Are you going to let us know when you've implemented the auto ordering feature ?
Eager to start using it as soon as it's in there...

Did I get it right that I can only use the plugin on ONE domain/website ?
Why don't you have a pricing for multiple websites ? :p

Cheers !

I am working now on the auto ordering feature, hope to launch it asap.

Right, one plugin license is valid for one domain but you can deactivate it on one domain and use it on another.

I have not decided yet on multiple sites license.

There are several important points you need to research before making up your mind on any certain niche of your dropshipping business. While it is crucial to research the competition in the niche you prefer, it is worth mentioning that you shouldn’t go for the least competitive one. Niches with no competition most likely will bring no profit.

In order to make the niche evaluation easier for you, I made a scale that will help you decide which niche has more potential in terms of SEO, and which one is almost impossible to squeeze in.

I have studied the experience of some successful AliExpress dropshippers and decided to take a narrow niche that I think will be easier to promote.

I made a research and selected the most popular products in this niche with the wholesale price not more than $20 and with worldwide free shipping option only. Then I increased prices on my site at about twice the standard cost.

Another feature of this site is that the plugin imports only products that participate in AliExpress affiliate program. So, if I get any order I will be able to purchase necessary item on AliExpress using my affiliate link to get additional 5%-50% commission.

I am going to start promoting the site soon; however some improvements are still needed.

It would be great if you could review my site, give some recommendations, ideas, share your experience or just wish me Good luck!

Really like your site Yaros, hope its going well! Did Aliexpress design your site through their drop ship program or did you do it on your own?

Hello Yaros, I bought the plugin on the 09 of September. Had some trouble setting it up. I messaged your support team and even added you on skype. But I got no response after waiting for 10 days and I'm still waiting for you to accept me on skype.

I want a full refund of the plugin! The support is very bad and it is too difficult to set up by myself! Thank you!

Hi Yaros! I really love the possibility to create different variations of products - but is there a way to implement additional product options in form of an individual text field (i.e. to personalize products with a name or gift message)?

P.S. It’s a really cool all in one solution for dropshippers. I really love your plugin. Thanks for your hard work and sharing your information.

I was one of the lucky beta testers of both the alidropship plugin and the theme. Thanks Yaro for the opportunity and great plugin.

If you are into dropshipping business and looking for something to automate the whole process, I definitely recommend Alidropship plugin. The plugin comes with a chrome extension that allow you to import products from Aliexpress straight from your Wordpress dashboard. Attributes, variations are seamlessly imported together with the products. You do not need an extra plugin for attributes or reviews. It also comes with an inbuilt review translator, which is great if you are targeting customers from English countries.

I have to say, this plugin is everything for a dropshipping website. It makes the whole process fast and easy.

Moving on to the theme. The new theme comes with a 3 header image sliders and features 3 categories on the homepage, namely - top selling products, best deals and new arrivals. Products are automatically inserted into their respective categories based on their ratings and prices. You do not have to do anything once you have imported the products.

Overall, the new theme offers great flexibility and comes with all the features you would expect from a premium WordPress theme. Customizing the theme is easy, you do it straight from your theme dashboard. Considering the amount of features and the ease of use, it definitely a good theme to work together with the great plugin.

Thats great , the theme is great the plugin is excellent , yes,yes,yes, rave reviews, top quality product, great support etc etc.

The question is does the process of promoting through social media, work? i have asked many times with no answer, several people on other forums where Yaros started the same thread theme are complaining that the promotion methods that go along with this whole process of ali dropship are not working, people are getting views but no purchases from SM.

The question is does the process of promoting through social media, work? i have asked many times with no answer, several people on other forums where Yaros started the same thread theme are complaining that the promotion methods that go along with this whole process of ali dropship are not working, people are getting views but no purchases from SM.

Niche you selected, products you imported, your markup pricing, issues with checkout page, choosing your target audience and social groups - there are tons of issues that can affect your sales.

Just as an example. One month ago I re-designed my checkout page to make it look like on Shopify. My sales decreased three times!!! I started analysing and found out that I have the same traffic, the same number of add to cart events but less conversions on my checkout pages. I had to return the previous design and my sales came back to the normal level.

Good answer but it still does not take away the fact that the only person reporting that this is such a great money maker is the developer of the plugin.

You claim to be making $$$$$$ from all your sites then surely there should be others that are doing the same, where are they all? Easy to make claims over the internet , for all we know you could be buying traffic which would distort the profits you claim.

Do you really think that successful AliExpress dropshippers will occupy this thread to share their success stories?

People who are making money wont be bragging about it here, because it feels like giving away a piece of your cake.

Only one depend on you - you have to work hard if you like to earn a big money. If you need only about 2 000 - 4 000 USD income (only your profit, not revenue), then you should import great products, start some ads and give good customer service. Dropship can give you the best opportunity to start e-commerce. AliDropship is the best choice if you like to do it. You need to speed with your decision, becouse now is the best time to start it. Good luck, WORLD IS YOURS!!!

While ago i was looking for ideas to create an income on my own and found different threads talking about dropshipping stores using Aliexpress as supplier. I knew what is dropshipping before.

I started my first store in August and another one this month and i made profit already in first month. The money is not big (yet), which is logical due to the time i've been live with these (as with every ecommerce store), but i see future in this. For example this month i am able to pay my rent with the profit. I dont see Aliexpress as a bad supplier because of shipping times - even online shops in my home country have shipping times of 4-6 weeks and people still trust, buy and wait.

I think using Ali is the cheapest and easiest way to start online business. That's my five cents.

I also saw success stories on other forums, I will check for you.

Alidropship is just a tool. YOU have to do the hard work, research, choosing the right niche, targeting the right audience, the right tools, marketing etc... and even with all this, success is not guaranteed. So I think its best to evaluate yourself and your sites and come up with a better plan to do better next time and if you fail again, evaluate and try again. I just started with Alidropship plugin and I can say its absolutely a fine tool with many features and with the free lifetime updates its getting better and better. I just started and am still developing my site so I dont care about sales right now. If I did my work right than hopefully I will make some money in the near future. Not guaranteed

I tried to make my checkout page more simple following Shopify design, removing information about Refund policy, Buyer protection terms and messages like: 'All transactions are secure and encrypted. Credit card information is never stored'. I re-designed also all the structure moving the information about the products added to the cart to the right top corner instead of central placement.

I think it pretty much depend on what you are promoting and who are your target audience. You have to try it out and see which one works best for you. As for my case, not so many sales from social media. My most converting traffic seems to come from search engines. The good thing with Alidropship plugin it's SEO friendly. You can always target search engine traffic instead of social traffic. It's also a dropshipping plugin. You do not have to worry about your website getting de-indexed as in the case of affiliate site.

That's the right point. It's all about marketing. I don't use Yaros plugin but I also run several stores drop shipping with aliexpress. I was not successful until tried FB ads. Now relying on these ads only I'm quite happy with my $2000 profit/month.

Thank you for your answer,

All the information i can find says that social media traffic has an extremely low rate of conversion to direct sales, yes its great for building a brand but otherwise expecting to make direct sales from social media as claimed is not a strategy that works very well.

Sure search engine traffic can be high converting with buyer keywords but getting ranked for buying keywords is not an easy task.

It sounds like you need to dip your toe in the water to test the strategy. If it works, great, if not then at least you tried instead of wondering if it works or not. You don't have to use the plugin to start. Set up a store manually and see how it goes. if your chosen method of promotion works and you make some $$ then jump on board and get the plugin to scale up.

Cheers!

Social marketing does work. As I have said, it all depends on what you are selling and who are you selling to. I have a friend who make over $20k in a month, marketing through Instagram. You just have to try your luck.

Just wanted to write about my experience with AliDropShip plugin and SocialRabbit plugin. To start with, both plugins are fairly new to me. I have set up my store and also made my first sales with dropshipping plugin. Everything is working fine except Paypal, which gives error every now and then. They had some DDOS issues few days ago and none of my transactions went through, but this is not plugin's fault.

Socialrabbit: Plugin is quite simple and easy to use. Set-up is nice and clear. Plugin itself does what it is supposed to do and generates some traffic to my webpage. The best feature about this plugin is support. Honestly this has to be the best support I have ever experienced with any service provider. Usually the customer is forgotten after the sale has been completed - not the case with these guys.

Now AliExpress uses https, so there is no point to store images on your server, even in case you want to use SSL on your site.

Ok, I disabled the option which saves images to own server and now when I import product the post uses images from Ali servers. The old posts still use images uploaded to site.
Now when I click "Apply to all products" and let it finish I expected that all images will be linked to images on Ali servers. However, instead of that, even the new product which had images from Ali server is now taking images from my server.
How can I get all image links updated to link from Ali servers so I can delete pictures from my WP folder ???

The sellers do this every year before 11-11, They do this so the discount price will look more attractive even though the discount price is more than the selling price a week before

lol I was talking about all the discounts as all products in aliexpress and in my store went double priced. The plugin itself is great, Yaros and his team are very skilled developers and they put a lot of effort to make it easy for newbies in the dropshipping business.

I can't recommend it enough, but remember it's only a tool... The hard work is finding a niche and the right audience to target to

Hi Yaros,

Based on your experience with all your different stores, can you answer us the following?

1. What type of store do you think attract more traction? Passion or Everyday use type (For example, Harry potter vs Kitchen)
2. Can you also let us know which of your store was the most profited one vs least? (not interested in the #s but just curious about the niche?)

If any of this sounds more like a personal question regarding your business, you can skip them!

I spent half the day reading your journey and I'm entirely inspired again after not having much success on my own attempts at dropshipping. I worked on my shopify website for 2 weeks to get it working and loaded with products from AE but it costs so much more monthly to keep it running especially with 3rd party apps to import products from AE and enhance your store such as counters and pop-ups on last purchased items. Still no sales despite all that and also paid advertising and paid traffic. Maybe my niche is too wide, I sell Fashion Accessories.

One downside of Shopify is the ability to implement and improve SEO of your products, which from what I have learned is not as impressive as compared to what you can do with wordpress (a plethora of plugins available for SEO).

Yaros's view about preferring wordpress over shopify resonated with my own opinion, I had always worked with wordpress but I had to try it on Shopify to understand the process of starting a dropshipping online store. My conclusion, really, why pay for stuff every month by subscribing to 3rd party apps if you can get it all done just by installing 1 WP plugin that cover the same bases. This made me want to go back to working with Wordpress, so I researched for plugins that could work like oberlo or expressfy on Shopify and I found AliDropship and thankfully this thread.

Yaros did an excellent job in developing this plugin and what's even more valuable is sharing experience with all of us here. I'm glad I found it. Thanks Yaros!

If I may, I would like to make some suggestions for future developments.

As AliDropship only works with an AliDropship Theme, there may be difficulty to integrate other enhancements or plugins without editing the theme files and adding the shortcodes. I especially liked the idea of 2 apps on shopify called "Hurrify" which places a timer/countdown under the "Add to cart" button and also a plugin called "Recently" which shows a tiny slideout of the most recent purchase by a customer. This apparently generates higher conversion. So if its possible to add these features it would be really cool.

I also hope you will decide on offering a developer license or a multiple domain license soon, so that AliDropship plugin will be widely used all over the world by dropshippers.

Thank you.

Hi Yaros, when I ordered the alidropship plug-in it only came with one theme (DaVincci) I have been following your thread on Warrior Forum and I see that you have posted that 2 themes are currently available. How do I get the 2nd theme?

Hi Yaros, how much do you made with your stores on November?

Speaking of that, how are handling your money? With the ammount of money you say you are earning I think you must probably near the limits of Paypal and most of those systems. I will also like to know how are you handling your taxes issues and that kind of stuff.

Your case is amazing, you are truly an inspiration for must of us!

Wow, I just catch up with the whole thread from the beginning. I have to say it was quite intensive risking the health of my eye-balls
It was really worth it. Bought the plugin last night with eyes full of tears (not because of the price but because I was reading the thread for the last 4-5 hours and taking notes since I wanted to learn about drop-shipping.
Another 4-5 hours today and I an joining the discussion from here on.
Yaros, awesome work on the plugin - I am really impressed and cannot wait to start my first store...
I want to do something similar like you and would like to request a developer license or at least to be able to have multiple own stores so we can get into few niches....I would have 3-4 niches I would like to get into pretty soon from now...
I know you said earlier you did not think about it yet, but I would like to join the people who asked previously for this option (like I said at least for own use if not for client sites).
Thanks for all the great contributions in this thread...
Good night!

  I bought the plugin too and starting from scratch to select niches and seo keywords. Its a daunting task I must say, cant wait to get the store up and running. Fan niches are great but risky, would hate to put in the hard work and lose it later on.
  
  Yes Yes Yes .. please offer a developer license, we also want to build multiple sites for personal use and explore our chances with multiple niches.
  
  Thanks...

Hello dropshippers using this plugin. I'm just in the investigation stages and live in Canada. I'm curious about legal issues.
@Yaros, and anyone else in this situation, You run stores that deal directly with trademarked items. Have you encountered any legal issues? Have you been approached by the studios of these shows/movies regarding selling potentially fake items? Coming from Ali Express, we all know many of these items are not always legitimate.

I've not decided if I'm jumping on yet but this looks incredibly interesting, especially now that you have the auto-order option.

1. It is something wrong on your side...

2. 15K profit

3. $100

4. It all depends, there are no exact time frames, much depends on your niche, traffic sources and your marketing efforts.

One question that has been bugging me.

Will ordering from aliexpress on behalf of the shopper reveal any receipts upon delivery that would make the shopper go to ali express direct instead of your store in the future due to cheaper cost ?

*Ok I figured this out by indicating no invoice or promotions in the package

After buying the alidropshipping plugin, I tried to use it today and was surprised that It was genuinely easy to use. Everything was setup, as I explored each part of the wordpress control panel, i came accross all the aspects of a successful e-commerce site, abandoned cart tracking, email follow-ups for abandoned carts, markup formulation tool, payment integrations, there is even a place to setup cashbacks from what you dropship from ali express, and also a feature to process orders (although I have not tested this yet)

Now, of course the real test is if sales will be good once marketing is established. Hope to post positive numbers in the next few weeks.

November was great for me! I have not calculated everything yet but it is more than 20k of net profit.

About 60-70% of the payments I get through Stripe.

@Yaros, I just noticed that there is no option to set a custom shipping price for individual products.

I find this to be a bit problematic if I want to oragnize a giveaway of my products where I offer one product for FREE, and have the customer pay for shipping and handling.

Since the "Shipping Options" of the plugin sets prices globally for all products, I was wondering if there is any work-around to achieve this objective?

Thanks for your time!

Hi Yaros! im inspired by your experience and im about to launch my own dropshipping store, I have a few questions for you if dont mind.

What hosting do you recommend for this? Im thinking about using Wix to build the store at the beginning (I know its a rookie thing, but its quite good for developing things fasts, and once I start making profits I will use something more complex). But im having some doubts regarding the copyrighting stuff, if I make a store that sell merchandising im afraid Wix may reject it if its copyrighted.

How much time did it took you to start making profits (even small profits) after you launched your HP site?

Yaros, since I am a newbie to selling with e-commerce, I adopted your approach finding products which have free shipping using epacket and which are not too expensive to avoid issues with returns.

I also adopted the pricing calculation you have provided and so far it looks good to me. Thanks for all that good info you shared. I am still working on my store and have to finish my social media channels...
I did not start selling/advertising yet since I am still working on the store...

I was also thinking about later on selling more expensive items to make more money since the process of advertising and spending money to promote is the same so why not selling higher priced items.
In this case I would look for few things to avoid returns:
- ePacket shipping (shortest delivery times)
- look for reputable vendors with 1+ diamonds
- look for items with 4+ star rating from at least 100 people
- the above would then require at least 200-300 orders for that item
What do you think about this? Would you add anything to this criteria list?
Anyone's input is welcome....

Any updates on the plugin multi-license or dev license?
Wanted to build a niche store...waiting for the deal you announced Yanos...

I deleted the locally stored pictures and re-uploaded the products linking to external server.
My backups are now normal size. I noticed that when importing reviews, the pictures are stored locally again without the option to link to externally...

It would be really awesome when we could have external links to review pictures because they really add up quickly and I stopped importing reviews because that defeats the purpose of external linking...it helps that the product images are external links but we need the same for reviews in order to be effective....

You think this could be solved in future plugin updates?

Hy Yanos,

Just have found something that would need some work on the plugin if you could accommodate this in the future that would be awesome.
Until then we have to avoid such product variations....

Here is an example product:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-...fbce7d44&tpp=1

This product price range is between $2.83 - $15.28 depending which memory capacity you chose from: 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB where the price changes for each one.
The color does not effect the price.

Try importing this product and you will see that it will have 1 price (per your formula) regardless if you chose the lowest or highest memory capacity...

For product variations with diff colors it does not matter since it does not affect the price but with this it does. Not sure if there is price variation for clothes involving different size since I did not came accross this yet. I am thinking this could be the case sometimes bcs you need more fabric to make a XXXL dress than a S size dress....

Any thoughts?

The point is that we use WordPress comments functionality for reviews, I need to check if we can get only links for comments.

I have tried importing such products and they work fine on my stores like on AliExpress. The formula is applied correctly for all variations.

Hi Yaros,

I just have one question. You may have answered it but I somehow miss it.

Based on your experience, which one works best a) to have a flexible store/domain or b) to have a specific niche store/domain.

I have several niches which I want to test but I also want to save as much as possible in case some of them do not work out as intended.

Yaros, how did you test the whole buying process before you started promoting your site?
I want to make a purchase to go through the process and see how it works and I am still hesitant, don't know why...

Just to ask you: if you put an order with AliExpress you can cancel it before you get the tracking number, right?

Just for the purpose of testing 2-3 orders to see how the process goes...
For PayPal I could use the developer testing account instead of live...

Does AliExpress has testing accounts like PayPal has?
What do you recommend since you have already done it???

Yaros, I just noticed that when you go to the shopping cart page, the background of the inner page is missing. On all other pages is white except on the cart page (click orange cart button on top right) where there is no background color (hard to fix via css)...
There may be one <div> missing in the theme, not 100% sure...
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I made a subtheme from your theme...

Firstly, a big shoutout to Yaros & Team for an exciting opportunity plus the amazing amount of information provided.

I was able to use the xmas coupon today for a discount.

Fresh Ubuntu 14.04, php 5.6.29, wp 4.7.

I am excited to give this program a spin. However, when I try to install, I get an error that the encrypted core.php file is corrupted. I have confirmed that zend guard loader is operational on php 5.6.29.

Not sure what to do now, I sent off a support email. I guess... I wait

Yaros, thank you for making your plugin and sharing your experiences. Quick question, when you import products, do you go through all of the products and edit the titles and descriptions manually? I had to edit over 100 products to delete unnecessary info and reformat them and it took over 2 days. Is there a way you could implement to make this automated to a certain title and description format? And also, I'd like to be able to set a min and max quantity for all products at the same time. It seems odd when customers see a product with a quantity of 2898. It's just too high, and unrealistic.

Is there a way you could implement to make this automated to a certain title and description format? And also, I'd like to be able to set a min and max quantity for all products at the same time. It seems odd when customers see a product with a quantity of 2898. It's just too high, and unrealistic.

Yes, I always edit titles and remove Chinese descriptions leaving only some images without watermarks.

As for the amount of orders there is no option yet to change it manually, but there is n option to remove these numbers from your site.

Did you encounter this issue and how do you handle that? (offering free shipping with china post but no tracking information available).

You mentioned in the website as below, do you contact your customers who are from country that happened to be not in the scope? Do you tell them item will be sent but no tracking code is available, or inform them option to pay for shipping cost to expedite shipment?

In your website : shipping and delivery.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. We provide free shipping to over 200 countries around the world. However, there are some location we are unable to ship to. If you happen to be located in one of those countries we will contact you.

Actually China post also provides tracking in most cases.

Any suggestion/solution to it? I just bought your plugin and realized that as well. zend guard loader only compatible with Dedicated/VPS in hostgator.

You can also use IonCube AliDropship version instead of Zend Guard. But as far as I know, Hostgator shared hosting supports Zend now.

Thanks Yaros.

when the customer filling up shipping details e.g. name, email, address etc.

Will the information be stored as customer database? or email being captured by autoresponder?

- Yes, it imports products with all variations + you can import reviews as well.
- Yes, you can import in different languages that are supported by AliExpress.
- When you are using direct import from AliExpress, you can filter products by their shipping options.

here is an example of a site built with AliWoo plugin Jewelry Store

Hey Yaros,

Going back in time. I did ask this once already.
Since the ratings are very important we should really have the same solution for ratings as we have for the product pictures to be embed from Ali servers.
The site size is really small compared to when you import the pictures to your server (site would becomes large very quickly) - this is awesome.
On the other hand if we import ratings, there is no option but to import to own server which defeats the above great function because the images are large and size of site again grows rapidly...
Any idea if this will be solved in future??? Would just greatly improve this great plugin

I would be nice to have a link to the original Ali product also in the order page so we can check the price once again before we submit order. This link to the original product is present in the product edit page - it would be useful to have it on the order page as well...

I did not start selling/advertising yet since I am still working on the store...

I was also thinking about later on selling more expensive items to make more money since the process of advertising and spending money to promote is the same so why not selling higher priced items.
In this case I would look for few things to avoid returns:

ePacket shipping (shortest delivery times)

look for reputable vendors with 1+ diamonds

look for items with 4+ star rating from at least 100 people

the above would then require at least 200-300 orders for that item

What do you think about this? Would you add anything to this criteria list?
Anyone's input is welcome....

I think your strategy is solid.

Hi, just bought your plugin and then realized you need dedicated server to make it work. Any suggestions for cloud or shared server? I have hostgator cloud hosting and they cannot help. They said I have to buy dedicated server.

If I cannot find anything affordable, I just cannot use your plugin. It's just not reasonable to spend so much money for dedicated server just because of one plugin.

Quick Review

I tried the plugin, yes its great , its almost as great as Yaros is at marketing his products!!!

BUT and its a big but, i would not recommend you buy this plugin if you are hoping that the marketing tactics that he teaches are going to work for you, they did not work for me or the many others that have joined the forum on his website.

I did get a refund so no complaints about that.

That is all i will say.

I don't focus on particular suppliers, only on products. I think it does not matter how many suppliers you use.

Yes, there are complaints sometimes, but with free shipping people are more willing to wait.

I have two alidropship stores. I have a few sales but experienced an unfair treatment from paypal. One of my buyer on Alidropship has filed a charge back with her credit card company stating that the purchase is unauthorized and paypal has returned the fund to her. She now get the item for free. The name and postal address match her contact info on her credit card. I never imagine the Paypal investigation team is significantly inefficient in dealing with such case. I have the tracking number and all the evidences that they can track the shipment, yet paypal claim that I did not provide sufficient detail. Furthermore, Paypal charged additional $10 from my account for processing fee. This is unforgiving. Paypal isn't capable of dealing with such dispute. My advise is never use paypal as the main payment processor.

Yaros I am sure you have experienced this trouble at least once. I would like your advice.

One thing I've noticed with the AliExpress API is that if a product is out of stock it doesn't return any data. Do products come and go a lot on the site because obviously that's a hassle if you want to build a site that will be reasonably stable.

I don't use AliExpress API because it is a very poor now. I am using Google Chrome extension for all importing purposes.

I am really satisfied with the results getting from Adwords campaign now. It was not an easy trick to setup everything properly but finally, I have some success with it. I prepared a case-study for it, you can check here: https://alidropship.com/create-adwor...etailed-guide/

Can you run two instances of the same plugin on the same site to benefit from the feature of both versions?

Example I want to run a woocommerce theme so I want to add the woocommerce version, however I would like to utilize the cart abandonment, email, discount features. Can I add two of them at all and use them both to get full capabilities until you make an update for woocommerce?

These are different plugins and there is no option to use them both.
WooCommerce version of the plugin was created for those users who are used to Woo plugins and Woo themes. It means I will not add such features like abandoned cart, upsell, discounts, etc. to AliDrosphip Woo plugin. And I am not planning to release any Woo themes. I don't see any point to invent something for WooCommerce that is already available in the market.

A lot of the Aliexpress people are simply small time resellers themselves. You'd do a lot better if you could go manufacturer direct.

Hi Yaros I've purchased the plugin and I have to say it's excellent the only thing missing is the ability to cross sell and the main plugin for cross selling is beeteking and its woocommerce based. So a DaVinci Woo commerce theme or a cross sell feature added to the original plugin would definitely make your products the most complete ecommerce option available for wordpress

Yes i meant upsell,I saw Beeteking on shopify first they have a very robust set of tools for ecommerce you should examine them for ideas to make your plugin better.But I have to tell you thanks for producing such an excellent plugin and sharing your journey you have definitely inspired me.Keep up the good work oh and i almost forgot a multi site licence would be nice.

Are these implemented or can we implement some how?
1. Would be nice to have a pop-up giving 5% on entire order(if bought multiple products - lets say this to can be specified like buy 5 or more products and get 5% off of your shipping cart).
2. A pop-up also when possible client goes with the mouse outside your website to pop-up a discount for his next purchase(like to the IM products).
I think these 2 can increase the sales a bit ... even 5 or 10% can make a big difference

Also I have bought but was thinking to go more like multiple categories but each category to be a specific niche and then to use fb ads in order to target 2 specific niches(that I have thought would do good ... nothing copyrighted or anything like it) and test these 2(1 at a time ofc).

I was thinking and honestly I do not know if this is already a feature in the plugin but is there anything like putting a ribbon over the images from the gallery(like an extra discount ... for instance 1-5$ ... or else we would need to take the images on our server and edit them ... and each of them to edit and also to take on our server ... that adds up a lot of space and time to).

Hi Yaros,

Have had few sales on my store. A function to replace the item with similar item from another store on aliexp would really be nice to have but not as the next thing below...

There is one thing that would be huge if we could have it in one page of our shop. Shipment tracking. Instead of sending buyers to aliexp, to have a dedicated page that will pull in the tracking info via API. Is it doable?

Also, how is the progress regarding the review images linked to aliexp servers?

I am trying to wait until I get all tracking data and then send all of them to my client. However in some cases I am sending tracking ids separately if it takes too long for a supplier to send an item.

  You need to inform your supplier about it and the item should be returned to be exchanged.

A couple of questions apart from the obvious one earlier.

Your Alidropship plug in is $89 is that correct
Do you need a seperate plug in for each store or can you use the one plug in for all stores?

And the same question for your Social Rabbit plug in.

Also, one of your articles suggest re-posting using facebook groups. I checked this but when I try to enter a group in the facebook space, it won't suggest any groups that I signed up to. Any advice on how you actually select the group you have joined.

One plugin license is valid for one domain.

Start typing the group's name in the "Group" field until you see the needed group name offered by Facebook below the field.

OK, TY, you will appreciate if one wants to have multiple sites that's quite an expense. Is there a multiple sites licence at all?

And again, what about the social rabbit? Is that for one site and is there a multiple sites option?

Very strange, still nothing appears for me. Is there a minimum requirement before FB allows a user to do this. 100 likes or followers or something?

With these ads, are you allowed to have more than one ad?
How many per site do you suggest?

I'm interested in how you marketed your kitten rules business.
Did you follow the same marketing path as world of harry?

I know some people who have large following with their FB cats pages but can't earn a penny through their shops, so you must be doing something amazing. Is it a secret or is it what you have already shown us?

Here I described this strategy in details: https://alidropship.com/boost-drop-s...instagram-ads/

Great stuff!
If I succeed with this anyone can do it. I will let you know.
Can we use your social rabbit plug in on Shopify & if so where do I buy it from?

Sorry, I am confusing you. I do know they are instagram ads.
What I am confused about is you say

"it is necessary to choose the already published post. It's important not to promote a freshly published post - wait for several days before making any actions. In these several days, the post will get enough organic engagement, and you will be able to understand if this post is interesting to your followers at all."

But does this mean the "posts" as on FB or the posts as on Instagram?

UPDATE: Facebook recently updated their policy on 3rd party apps like us posting to people's Facebook accounts automatically. They no longer allow it. This is a Facebook policy, not ours. It still works 100% with Twitter and Pinterest. We are working on other integrations as we speak :-)

Does this mean Social Rabbit won't be allowed on FB?

Your post 163 Advertising on Craigslist doesn't mention that Craiglist rules state

According to the rules listed on Craigslist's website, users may post in only one category in one geographical area once every 48 hours. Following these posting rules are essential: If you post too often or post similar ads in different locations too close to one another, the ads will be blocked

Does the Hide Me software get around this problem or should we keep to the rules?.

Hi Yaros,

Been following you for a while and I see your sites are still doing great things, but as always I'm still confused as to where you get your traffic from.
Is it using the "social rabbit"?
Don't most people struggle with social media customers just browsing your stores?

It's a great journey but still questions about traffic remain don't you think?

I want to show you one of my recently launched stores as an example and share some ideas and experience with you.

What niche did I choose?

Initially I had an idea to launch a jewelry store offering different cool but cheap stuff from AliExpress. Then I analysed my current stores in various niches and my best selling products. This research helped me to come to a conclusion that there is no point to search for new items but it's better to focus on proven products. So, I decided to combine my best sellers in one site (and of course add some new pieces). As a result, I got superblings.com.

I expect you will have questions regarding copyright issues since this store has many branded items. I tried to avoid any brand name in the domain and not to devote the whole site idea to any specific brand (like Harry Potter), but decided to include branded products. Stripe approved my store.

What is my profit?

I started working on this site one month ago, so I have not got any outstanding results so far. However, the store has already generated 22 sales and brought around $250 in net profit. I consider it as a good result for such a fresh site and see a potential here.

How do I promote?

I am using two main methods for this store - Instagram shoutouts and Instagram ads.

1. Instagram shoutouts

We have already described Instagram shoutouts strategy in details on our blog. I just want to focus your attention on the link we use on shoutouts now to send potential clients to our stores.

Before we used the link that sent users directly to a product page. Then we found out that it is better to combine several items in one shoutout and set the link to a product category page. Now we see better conversions when we add a link to search results page on our stores.

Here is an example:

Text:
Best Game Of Thrones Theme Items from @superblings
Click LINK IN MY PROFILE to get it!
FREE SHIPPING worldwide
Money back guarantee �...

And here is a link: Online shopping for fan merch with free worldwide shipping

2. Instagram Ads

Another great strategy that we discovered recently is official advertising on Instagram. Low cost and good ROI so far.

To start running such ads first you need to switch your store Instagram account to a business one. Here is the instruction:

1. Go to settings

and switch to business account.

Having a business account will give you access to different analytical tools. You can learn about your most popular posts, users activity, demography, etc. You will receive first stats after a week approximately.

2. Log in your Facebook profile and connect your Facebook page.

Add your contact details and you are done. Your business account is created.

Now it's time for promotion.

Select one of your already published posts and click Promote.

Then you need to setup your campaign and select your audience.

After it's done, Instagram will calculate advertising costs and period for running your promo. You can accept these conditions or can make changes. You will need to add your credit card to pay for every click. Your advertising campaign will launched after moderation.

If you decide to try this method, I strongly recommend that you review advertising Policies first. I know about situations when people got their commercial accounts suspended after moderation of their ads.

Leave your comments and ask questions if you need more details!

I recommend starting with 50-100 products. Don't forget to shorten titles and remove unnecessary descriptions. After you are done, start promoting.

Yes, I am using free+shipping method on some items. As for shipping, you can import products from suppliers with storages based in Europe and North America to offer the faster delivery. I would also recommend using ePacket shipping option that is free (or costs $2-5) and provides fast delivery.

Hi Yaros

I have few questions.

How did you add shipping info in woocommerce , in what way? Because when I add free shipping zone in woocommerce I don't have option to add any text to shipping tab.

Also how did you open company in Dubai? Did you go there by your self or everything is over internet? I presume you open company and bank account there because of taxes in your country?

That is it for now

I am not based in Ukraine. The reason why I registered US LLC is the possibility to use Stripe that is not supported in my country. You can learn more from here https://alidropship.com/register-dro...yments-stripe/

Now I'm confused?! I know that you use Wordpress and if I remember correct your site world of harry is based on Mystile theme by Woocommerce. But now that theme is retired and now is Storefront that is active by Woocommerce. I presume you still use Mystile on your site.
So what ecommerce plugin do you use?

My bad about that you live in Ukraine, I mixed something up.

I'm building my first ecommerce shipping site and I'm following your joureny. You are my inspiration. And my son give me the idea ( he is 6 yrs old) what to sell on my dropshipping site from Aliexpress. I buy regulary from Aliexpress since 2009 and I said to my self why not to follow Yaros journey and do that on your own.And now I'm still adding products to my store. When I finish I will launch my site on social media and on google.

There are no complaints from my clients about these prices on the package. But if I get such, I would say that this price was reduced to avoid additional custom fees.

Secrets Of Getting Traffic From Facebook Without Buying Ads

7 years ago

WHERE TO BEGIN - Some info for someone that wants to start.

There is no easy way to do this, you are going to have to spent hours in front of your computer and you are going to run into walls along the way. You are going to make mistakes and that´s OK because we learn from those mistakes, the biggest thing you have to keep in mind at all times is to NEVER give up and always be leave in yourself cause you will make it and no one is going to do it for you! There will be times where you wife, girlfriend, mom, dad or even uncle will tell you to stop this nonsense, then you will have to remember these words "Never Give Up" you will get there!

Now thing of a niche, what do you love to do? What do you think you can sell, what would you buy? I have to mention there are rules to this game, when it comes to trademarks and we want to follow these rules cause we really don't want a lawsuit on our hand and Facebook has started banning ads account when they get a complaint to the subject, so let's try to stick to these generic niches like dogs, cats and such, then you don't have to worry about that at all.

Hello. I am from Russia and i have joined there cause i interested dropshipping. Excuse me for my English, it is not good

At us in Russia dropshipping poorly developed. We have a dropshipping companies, but they are not profitable to work, because they are cheating dropshippers. I have read about foreign dropshipping companies and not so all well and there.
I decided to try to do it yourself - to look for cheaper goods and sell it more expensive. As a seller of goods, I chose China, and as a buyer - the United States. It's probably the most popular of the bunch, I think. I don't know what's gonna happen, but this is my first experience. At least I'm interested in it to learn. Since the creation of the topic, it's been 3 years. Please tell us what the scheme of dropshipping is the most relevant today. What would you recommend for a beginner? What should you pay attention to? Thank You.

At us in Russia dropshipping poorly developed. We have a dropshipping companies, but they are not profitable to work, because they are cheating dropshippers. I have read about foreign dropshipping companies and not so all well and there.

Right, it is a usual and often a profitable strategy to buy from China and sell in US. However it should be noted that your success will much depend on the niche you will select, your marketing efforts and how soon you will find your targeted audience.

I would recommend focusing on some narrow niches with interesting and rather unique products instead of creating another general store.

It is also recommended to have a credit card payment option on your site (not only PayPal). But in Russia it is not an easy trick to connect a good payment gateway for accepting credit cards.

As far as I noticed now, China itself entered the US market and trades there without intermediaries. I mean, the Ebay marketplace. I am far from creating an online store, as it involves the availability of start-up capital and excellent knowledge in marketing and promotion of the site. Tell us what you can tell here, how do you do business in dropshipping? Do you have your own online store? How did you get started? Another difficulty is finding a good and honest supplier. I started my search with Aliexpress. While only communicate and look after the goods and compare the price of the same product on Ebay. Thanks.

Worldofharry was a great site, we used to show how the dropshipping system works and we have tried a lot of strategies with this store, but for the last year we were focusing mostly on not branded products and did not promote worldofharry. Besides we got an email from Warner where it was stated that WorldofHarry is the name of adventure parks and they are against using the domain name with such a name. So, we decided to close this store to avoid any problems in future.

We started our dropshipping stores since last year lost so much money on product testing and finally we found the winner product. But it was profitable only for a month then it's not profitable anymore and we really have no idea what's happened.

So we spent countless of time on testing so many things to optimize our Shopify store and the huge thing that we found is... product video presentation is really key... we boosted engagement and conversion rate up to 100% solidly by making our product presentation video unique from other competitors (using fully interactive video avatar)
