00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.240
Hi,

00:00:01.440 --> 00:00:04.100
If you're looking to start without any upfront investment,

00:00:04.100 --> 00:00:07.160
and want to get into online business, I always say,

00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.860
consider dropshipping and affiliate marketing.

00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:12.000
That's my go-to recommendation.

00:00:12.220 --> 00:00:14.740
Today, I'm going to focus on dropshipping in this video,

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:15.820
and show you how it works.

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.140
If you're wondering which platform is best,

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:20.660
I personally recommend eBay.

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:22.480
eBay is a platform where you can sell products,

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.240
so it's a great place for buyers to shop,

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:26.680
and for sellers to reach people looking to buy.

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:29.540
You don't have to run aggressive ads for your products to sell.

00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:31.480
There's a strong chance they can sell quickly.

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.460
That likelihood is very high, and on eBay, buying is easy.

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:36.900
You have both a buying account and a selling account.

00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:38.760
So, the seller account and the buyer account—those two—

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.660
aren't strictly separated.

00:00:40.900 --> 00:00:42.260
On Amazon, you need a separate seller account,

00:00:42.260 --> 00:00:43.960
which you have to open, and for buying,

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.920
you also need to open a separate Prime account.

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.840
You have to use them separately.

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.160
But on eBay, there's no such division.

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:51.920
So, buying items

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:53.900
and selling items can both be done from a single account.

00:00:53.900 --> 00:00:56.680
You can access and use all the features from within.

00:00:56.680 --> 00:00:59.600
Plus, you don't need to pay extra for a seller account,

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.060
so there's no need to pay separately to use it.

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:02.960
That's why I recommend starting with eBay first.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.000
I always suggest giving it a try.

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:06.560
Another major benefit is,

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.920
you don't have to learn a lot of new things,

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.760
because selling products on eBay

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.820
is actually pretty straightforward.

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.180
Once you get comfortable with eBay,

00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:17.720
you can move on to Amazon or other platforms,

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:18.920
open an account and try them out,

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.000
which is what I recommend.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.820
Starting with your own website can be a bit overwhelming,

00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:25.760
although it would be great. But if you use Shopify first,

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.620
it costs about $40 per month.

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:30.920
Even with WooCommerce, hosting starts at around $4

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:31.900
to about $5 a month.

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.000
So you'll be spending at least that much monthly,

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.480
plus there are things you'll need to learn along the way.

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.120
If you're planning to run your business long-term,

00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.500
then I recommend opening both your own website and an eBay store,

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:42.320
so you can manage both at the same time.

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:43.820
That's what I recommend.

00:01:43.820 --> 00:01:46.460
But if that's not what you're looking for, and you just want to focus on profit,

00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:49.080
If you're thinking, 'I just want to make even a little money,'

00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:51.020
then starting with eBay is probably your best bet.

00:01:51.020 --> 00:01:53.060
I think that would be more helpful.

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:54.760
That's why I'm introducing eBay first,

00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:55.760
and wanted to show it to you.

00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:57.640
Researching products and finding items,

00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.640
listing them on eBay, and so on,

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:00.860
you might wonder, 'How do I actually do that?'

00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:01.720
If that's your question,

00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:03.860
in this video, I'll show you how to do dropshipping

00:02:03.860 --> 00:02:05.700
using a site called Applo,

00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:07.180
which I want to introduce to you.

00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:09.480
The reason I'm showing you this site is,

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:11.040
first of all, it's a free platform.

00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:13.520
You don't have to pay anything upfront until your item sells.

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.660
There are no fees or charges to use the service before a sale.

00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:17.780
You only pay when your item actually sells.

00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:20.520
So you can use it with zero risk.

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:22.960
Plus, there are warehouses in the US and Europe.

00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:25.360
Shipping is much faster than ordering from China,

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.460
so your products get delivered much quicker.

00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:30.660
And those who use TikTok shop

00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:32.880
you can also meet tight shipping deadlines.

00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:35.920
Fashion items and products from other categories

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:38.660
are being added at a rate of over 3,000 new items every day.

00:02:38.660 --> 00:02:41.020
For example, if there's a particular item,

00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:44.060
Let's say you find a product on AliExpress,

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.520
but you can't find that product on Applelo,

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.020
just reach out to Applelo,

00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:51.380
and you can ask them to add that product for you.

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:53.260
Another great feature is,

00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:55.760
they offer a 7-day exchange and refund policy.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.340
So if you receive a product,

00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:00.660
and you really don't like it,

00:03:00.660 --> 00:03:02.200
or if you're not satisfied with it,

00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:04.120
or it arrives damaged or defective,

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.320
in those cases, the 7-day exchange

00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:09.140
and refund policy has you covered, so you can take advantage of it.

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:10.840
Another option is Shopify,

00:03:10.940 --> 00:03:13.000
TikTok, AliExpress, WooCommerce,

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:14.420
Amazon, Etsy,

00:03:14.660 --> 00:03:17.120
and you can connect with platforms like eBay,

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.680
to easily sell your products.

00:03:18.820 --> 00:03:21.080
There's one more extra thing to mention,

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.560
which is designing your own brand logo or packaging,

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.020
which you can also do,

00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:27.340
so you can create a branded product to sell,

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:29.260
but keep in mind, this will cost extra.

00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:30.420
So in the beginning,

00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:32.840
it's great for beginners even without these extras.

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.580
It's a solid, well-designed platform.

00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:36.140
That's a good way to think about it.

00:03:36.320 --> 00:03:37.600
If you're new here, sign

00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:39.240
up for free now over here.

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.280
Click here or on the Register button at the top.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.280
Click to set up your account.

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:44.940
Use your email address as your username.

00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:46.920
And pick any password you like.

00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:48.680
Once you've chosen, you can set up your account right away.

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:49.820
You can get started immediately.

00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:52.660
Then you'll be able to browse the available products.

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.540
After signing up, you'll notice a menu at the very top.

00:03:55.540 --> 00:03:56.400
One of the sections is labeled Made in

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.040
There is a place called USA.

00:03:58.040 --> 00:03:59.480
This section is for print-on-demand.

00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:00.940
On the dropshipping side, select US.

00:04:00.940 --> 00:04:03.120
If you click on 'Warehouse',

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.720
you'll see products with faster shipping times.

00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:08.980
Because the warehouses are located in the US, shipping usually takes about 7

00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:11.300
to around 14 days for products

00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:12.960
to arrive, so keep that in mind.

00:04:13.100 --> 00:04:14.740
At the top, you'll see some filters.

00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:17.340
If you click on 'Newest',

00:04:17.340 --> 00:04:19.220
you can view the latest arrivals.

00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:21.020
You can select and check them out.

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:22.160
Or, if you prefer, click on 'Popular'

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.460
to see which products are trending with buyers.

00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:26.280
You can see which items are selling the most.

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:28.700
Some products are marked as 'US Inventory.'

00:04:28.700 --> 00:04:31.740
There are 557 products currently in stock in the U.S.

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:33.020
The products listed next to them right now

00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:34.840
are reportedly out of stock in the U.S.

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.020
In those cases, they're probably shipped from China or the UK.

00:04:38.020 --> 00:04:40.980
So, you can assume they're being shipped internationally.

00:04:41.140 --> 00:04:43.440
Even if the items are coming from China, it usually takes about two weeks

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:46.500
for them to arrive in the U.S.

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:48.480
Unless a sudden 100% tariff is imposed,

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.620
which is unlikely,

00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:53.380
shipping speed shouldn't really be an issue.

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:54.720
At least for now.

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.780
Still, if you can,

00:04:55.780 --> 00:04:58.240
Using products that are already in the U.S.,

00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.220
I recommend doing dropshipping,

00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:01.640
That's what I'm recommending right now.

00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.480
Because back then, there were customs issues with products from China,

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:05.380
so products from China

00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:07.620
couldn't be imported into the U.S. easily.

00:05:07.760 --> 00:05:09.460
Shipping times became really slow,

00:05:09.460 --> 00:05:11.520
and that caused a lot of problems at the time.

00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:13.620
After you browse these products here,

00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:15.740
if you see something you like,

00:05:15.740 --> 00:05:16.760
there's an 'Add to'

00:05:16.760 --> 00:05:18.620
button for 'Import List,' and also,

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:20.220
an 'Add to Cart' button—so you have these two options.

00:05:20.380 --> 00:05:21.840
So you can select 'Add to Cart.'

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:24.280
Once you do this, you can purchase the product right away.

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:25.740
Basically, you're buying a sample.

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:26.640
Add to Import

00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:28.540
If you click on the List here,

00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:30.620
A popup will appear at the top saying 'Add Successfully.'

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:31.880
It pops up right there.

00:05:32.140 --> 00:05:33.220
Then, if you look up above,

00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:35.500
there's a section called 'My Dashboard.'

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.940
You'll also find the Import List here.

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:40.400
Click here to see the items you've added.

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:42.740
Just now, this Import,

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:46.140
lets you see all the products you've clicked this button for.

00:05:46.140 --> 00:05:47.300
But before that, you need to make sure to

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:48.840
go to the Authorization section,

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.340
and after clicking, go to your

00:05:50.340 --> 00:05:52.540
You need to connect your account.

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:53.980
When you click on eBay,

00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:56.440
the eBay login page will pop up.

00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.120
Just log in there,

00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.580
and your account will be linked instantly.

00:05:59.700 --> 00:06:01.480
Next, I'll go to My Dashboard,

00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.860
and click on Import List.

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:05.560
Then, the item I just added,

00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.540
the watch, will appear at the very top.

00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:08.560
And the ones I imported earlier,

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.720
the beauty product and the toilet bowl, will also show up.

00:06:11.900 --> 00:06:13.340
When listing on eBay,

00:06:13.340 --> 00:06:15.200
you can use up to 80 characters in the title.

00:06:15.320 --> 00:06:16.780
So, when I say 80 characters,

00:06:16.780 --> 00:06:18.900
Count both the letters and the spaces.

00:06:18.900 --> 00:06:21.660
Everything needs to add up to 80 characters.

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:23.900
This should be about 80 characters long.

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:25.080
It might be a bit longer than this.

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:26.640
That would make it around 80 characters.

00:06:26.640 --> 00:06:29.100
The title should be a bit shorter.

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.660
So just copy this as is,

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:32.620
then use AI to help,

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.900
to make sure it fits within 80 characters.

00:06:34.900 --> 00:06:36.940
I recommend making it that way.

00:06:37.140 --> 00:06:39.820
When selling on eBay, make sure the important keywords

00:06:39.820 --> 00:06:41.960
I told him not to fall out.

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.740
Writing something like this works well.

00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:45.200
Next up is the price.

00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:46.320
There are a variety of products.

00:06:46.460 --> 00:06:50.660
There are prices for the black and pink products, plus shipping costs.

00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:52.560
Shipping might be through FedEx,

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.260
or it could be USPS.

00:06:54.260 --> 00:06:56.660
Overall, FedEx is used more often.

00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.980
FedEx is generally faster than USPS,

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:02.300
so you can expect to get your items sooner.

00:07:02.460 --> 00:07:04.500
So, this option costs a bit more than USPS.

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:05.980
It's more expensive than choosing USPS.

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:07.980
It says 'Pricing USD'.

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:10.700
The price is calculated automatically.

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:13.160
So, for example, it comes out to $55.26.

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.340
If you want to set a different price for this,

00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:18.680
make sure to carefully consider both the shipping and product prices,

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.040
calculate them and enter the values here.

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:22.920
When you click on Description,

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.180
rather than just using the default text,

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:27.100
try using AI to rephrase it a bit,

00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:28.920
I highly recommend uploading it that way.

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.260
A lot of sellers just use the original text,

00:07:31.260 --> 00:07:33.720
and create identical listings.

00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:34.400
On eBay,

00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.120
even if you're selling on eBay instead of your own website,

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.000
you can still use AI to make your listing stand out,

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.240
since everyone can use these tools nowadays.

00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:41.680
ChatGPT for free

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.980
Because you can use this,

00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:43.980
Let's clear everything out like this.

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:47.240
We'll add what we created using AI.

00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:49.040
There are images below that.

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.560
Let's review the images as well.

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.480
If there are any images you don't need, just delete them.

00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:54.980
Next, you'll check the Images section.

00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:57.080
All the images are already selected.

00:07:57.200 --> 00:07:59.060
If there are any images you don't want,

00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:00.760
you can simply remove them like this.

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:02.100
Sometimes, errors might occur.

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:03.480
Once you've made your selections,

00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.580
the next step is to push

00:08:04.580 --> 00:08:06.200
to Store by clicking here.

00:08:06.380 --> 00:08:07.800
Just think of it as double-checking.

00:08:07.940 --> 00:08:09.720
The listing site is set to the USA.

00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.540
Since I sell products in the US,

00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:12.800
that's why I select this option.

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.360
As for the category,

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.520
there's a separate category for Door & Watch.

00:08:16.580 --> 00:08:17.500
I choose this one.

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:18.660
Next, after filling in all the details,

00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:20.400
you click 'Push to Store.'

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:22.140
Then, right away,

00:08:22.140 --> 00:08:25.220
the watch I just uploaded disappears from the import list.

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:26.480
Now, on the eBay page,

00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.480
I'm on my seller account page.

00:08:28.580 --> 00:08:30.500
You can see that the product was listed successfully.

00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:31.700
The product has been successfully listed on the site.

00:08:31.820 --> 00:08:33.520
If you scroll down, you'll see the details I added.

00:08:33.520 --> 00:08:36.120
The page has also been set up nicely with the black highlights.

00:08:36.260 --> 00:08:38.580
And the images have been uploaded here as well.

00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:40.680
When you go back to the Applelo site,

00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:43.180
You'll see that there are two import lists.

00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:45.480
Below that, there's a section called 'My Product.'

00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:46.500
I click this.

00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:48.520
You'll see the watch you just uploaded.

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.800
If you click here,

00:08:49.800 --> 00:08:52.740
you can check how the listing appears.

00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:54.540
And if you want to make any changes,

00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:56.600
you can click here to edit it.

00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.520
Or, there's a Trash button right here.

00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:01.180
If you click this, you can delete the list.

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:02.320
If an order comes in,

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.900
You can check it in the Orders section.

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.800
There's a section called My Account.

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:08.140
If you click here to access it,

00:09:08.140 --> 00:09:10.060
There's a section called Custom Packing.

00:09:10.060 --> 00:09:13.140
You can add things like tape or your own logo like this,

00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:14.880
If you want to ship your products this way,

00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:17.080
It says $30 for 10 pieces.

00:09:17.260 --> 00:09:20.400
Right now, the price is listed as times two.

00:09:20.540 --> 00:09:23.020
It says the product price is multiplied by two.

00:09:23.020 --> 00:09:26.180
If you want a more detailed price than this,

00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:28.260
If you want to set the price for selling an item,

00:09:28.260 --> 00:09:29.760
Scroll down to Advanced Pricing,

00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:30.760
There's a section called 'Rules.'

00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:31.920
Select this section,

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:33.620
For example, if the product price is $1,

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:35.180
Plus 5 dollars

00:09:35.180 --> 00:09:36.520
then multiply by 2.

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:38.760
That's how you can set it up.

00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:41.440
I've set QnC to use dollars.

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:43.020
If you get a new order,

00:09:43.020 --> 00:09:44.660
or if an item is shipped,

00:09:44.660 --> 00:09:46.460
you'll receive a notification.

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:47.780
There's a section labeled 'Order Merit.'

00:09:47.780 --> 00:09:48.540
You can find it there.

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:49.580
When your item sells,

00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:51.820
It automatically generates orders for you.

00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:52.820
That's how you should think about it.

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.260
And the tracking number

00:09:54.260 --> 00:09:56.880
There's also a feature that updates it automatically.

00:09:57.180 --> 00:09:58.960
So today, using Appleholo,

00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.860
I showed you how to use it.

00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:02.080
Using eBay

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.020
Using this site with Apple alone

00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:05.100
Everything is free,

00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:07.520
so you don't need any initial investment,

00:10:07.520 --> 00:10:08.820
which means you can get started right away,

00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:11.140
and launch your dropshipping business immediately.

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.340
As for marketing and similar activities,

00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:14.760
like video marketing,

00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:17.180
Or, if you decide to use eBay,

00:10:17.180 --> 00:10:19.280
There are also ways to promote your listings with ads.

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.300
You only pay fees when your items sell,

00:10:22.300 --> 00:10:24.300
Or you can use keywords from the start

00:10:24.300 --> 00:10:26.440
to make your products more visible.

00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:27.760
If that's something you're interested in,

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:29.460
it might be worth considering that option,

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:30.380
I think it could be a good idea.

00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:32.680
I hope today's video was helpful.

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:34.780
I'll see you in another video.

00:10:35.060 --> 00:10:35.380
Thank you for watching.
