hey I’m Sarah from wholesale tip and in today’s video I’m going to teach you the six big mistakes the new sellers make when they sack drop shipping and their own Aliexpress store now I’ve actually got a pretty cool special guest today helping me with this video Dan de Silva he is an Aliexpress dropshipping ninja last year he did hundreds of thousands of sales alone using aliexpress drop shipping with Facebook and Instagram as his primary sources of traffic so I strongly recommend that you listen to his advice now these mistakes are very costly they cost sellers thousands of dollars in lost sales so if you want to find out what these mistakes are so that you don’t make them yourself keep watching this video mistake number one not buying from a pewter book sellers a question I get asked a lot from people as whether they need to order an item for themselves before they drop shipping after all how can they trust the item is good quality if they haven’t purchased it for themselves first and how can they trust the supplier to ship it out on time well if this is something you’re worried about that I’ve got a good solution for you work with reputable Aliexpress sellers when your drop shipping from Aliexpress you should always be looking for suppliers that have a proven track record and excellent reviews doing that as easy firstly search for the item that you want to source next come here and tick this box so that Aliexpress will filter the results to only show you suppliers that have four plus star ratings next click orders now Aliexpress will list the results based on the number of orders a supplier has fulfilled for an item use this to find suppliers that have the highest number of orders while also maintaining a four-star rating from buyers working with your putable suppliers means that you can trust them the city orders out on time meaning you will have happy customers it also indicates that the customers were happy with the quality of the item that they received this means in that you know that your drop shipping good products without having to purchase at first and happy customers make for repeat buyers let’s switch over to Dan so that he can give you his next big mistake that he sees new sellers make when they start drop shipping with Aliexpress so the second tip I can give absolute anybody is that I see people all the time not putting enough emphasis on talking to their suppliers now when it comes down to suppliers they’re the one that determine how much you make and well how much you either spend lose etc so when it comes down to it make sure you’re talking to your supplier go out there and see if you can work out better rates if you have to pay for shipping see if you can get free shipping better rates faster delivery whatever it is negotiate talk to them get to know your suppliers not all suppliers are created equally some might only have five hundred units of one particular product another one might have an unlimited supply because they’re manufacturing it right there and then at their plant so again get to know your supplier not all of them are created equally that’s the second tip that I can give absolutely anybody mistake number three creating a general store and selling a thing and everything a lot of people email me and they ask me the same question Sarah should I open a store around a specific niche like coffee and only sell coffee accessories and items in it or share I put a general store like Walmart and sell anything and everything that I can find in it what should I do and usually they close up their email telling me that they’re leaning towards opening a general store because they want to hugely bits and sell everything after all what if I set up a store that’s selling coffee items and accessories and someone stumbles into the store and doesn’t want to buy those things then they lost out on the sale right and my answer to them is no this is a big mistake and this is because choice is a double-edged sword choice creates distractions for the buyer the goal here is the set up of store that sells the very best coffee accessories and items so that it will excite someone who was interested in coffee that way when they come to your store they’ll see exactly what they want to buy and they’ll be compelled to purchase it right now if instead they’re distracted by a whole host of other items that they don’t want then the conversion rates will drop off along with your sales and here are something else by focusing on one specific niche for each website that means that you can improve your branding around it if you open a general store then you’re going to have to have lukewarm branding that won’t really appeal to anyone but if you instead choose to focus your store around the knish like coffee accessories there means in that you can pick your store name your store logo your address and your website theme and color scheme to fit perfectly with coffee and by doing this you will increase your conversions and sales don’t worry about the people that aren’t interested in coffee and won’t buy from you instead just focus on converting the coffee lovers what you need to do is not focus on everybody instead you need to pick a customer base and stick to it and interestingly enough for the longtime viewers here at home so teach probably noticed that this is quite different to the advice that I give where drop shipping on Amazon using Soho a method that we teach in our free ebook how to make ten thousand dollars a month by drop shipping which you can’t download for free by clicking on the link in the video description below you see when you set up your store for aliexpress drop shipping whether it’s with Shopify or WooCommerce you’ve got tons of options over how to brand it you’ve choices of your domain name your choices over your website color scheme you’ve got tons of options but on Amazon you don’t on there you have very limited options for branding your amazon merchant store listing and plus very few people click through anyway it’s just not the culture of Amazon buyers the only reason why they’ll usually click through is to check out your feedback score because you see it’s actually kind of funny on Amazon customers are usually buying from third-party merchants but they don’t tend to think of it that way and so they tend to think of it as either bind directly from Amazon so branding your store on Amazon isn’t going to increase your conversions because of that it’s far more important and a much better strategy to just list any item that you find that is profitable using the method that we outline in our free ebook even if the items aren’t related to each other but with your Aliexpress structure boost or you have a huge opportunity to manage your branding so take advantage of it alright I’m going to switch back to Dan now so that he can tell you his next big mistake that he sees new sellers make when they sack drop shipping on Aliexpress so the fourth tip I can give anybody right now is don’t go off of the best sellers now what do I mean by that well when you go on to say like all the Express right you’re going to see the bestsellers tab and I know so many people go there to take a look at what’s selling they take men I can add this right into my store well that’s not how it works the best seller might not work for you what you need to do and we’re going to talk about this in step number six or tip number six is actually go out there and do your research so when you’re going out there and using a site like Alibaba and Aliexpress don’t go for the best sellers best sellers are great to do your preliminary research on the category their niche that you want to dive into but it’s not the end-all be-all so what I can tell you is that like I said it’s a place for you to get an idea the groundwork of what you need to dive into but when I talk about tip number six you’re going to fully understand exactly what I’m talking about and why you need to do your research mistake number five losing money by focusing too much on acquiring new customers rather than trying to get upsells now this is something that I’ve talked about a lot here at wholesale tear and it’s because of the fact that this is going to give you a massive edge over your competitors implementing upsells is an advanced idea that can double your revenue overnight cheat for an advanced method the application of it is very simple in a video I uploaded a few weeks ago my friend Fred used a great example of a company that uses upsells McDonald’s when you go to McDonald’s and you order a Big Mac regular combo what do they always ask you do you want to upsize that they do this because they know that you want fries in a drink so the chances are that you want a bigger fries and drink now suddenly instead of spending five dollars you’re now spending six dollars and the only thing that they had to do to get that one dollar extra revenue out of you was simply ask now think about it if McDonald successfully up-sales five customers by simply asking them if they want to have a large combo instead of a regular one they’ve now increased you’ve revenue by five dollars that is the equivalent to one whole new customer buying a regular Big Mac combo now what’s easier spending a few seconds asking your pre-existing customers if they’d like to upsize or investing a new marketing and research and outreach to acquire a whole new customer obviously it’s the former but most people ignore this and they slave away and spend tons of money on paid ads trying to get new customers and leave this free easy money on the table and this point doesn’t just apply to aliexpress drop shipping my video where I discuss slow eBay sales I’ve selling was one of the major points that I made in that video I gave the example about how you might have an eBay store that sells secondhand smart phones well what other types of items might people who are interested in smart phones want to buy they want charges they want cases they want accessories so apply this to your Aliexpress toulour what items can you upsell to your customers and don’t worry if you aren’t tech savvy because there are plenty of plugins for both WooCommerce and Shopify to help you add upsells to your cart checkout page all right that’s my final piece of advice for you today let’s switch back to dancing he can give you his last mistakes that he sees new Alex free structure does make the last tip I can give you is stop doing what you think will work and let the market dictate so what I mean by this well you have a bunch of tools at your disposal which is the Google Keyword tool which tells you the amount of searches that are coming in for that particular key or that particular search phrase every single month then you have the audience insight tool from Facebook themselves which tells you purchasing behavior tells you other pages and other demographics of people that you can target so when it comes down to it don’t ever waste your time on what you think will work rather go out there and get data that is proven to actually purchase your product so when you go and create a store you’re not going out there blindly and trying to figure out something that works rather you have data that’s there that works a hundred percent and you know exactly where you need to go so those are the top six tips that we can go ahead and give to you so those there are the six big mistakes that new Aliexpress dropshippers make that cost them thousands of dollars and lost
