How I made 4.1k in sales in ONE WEEK on a brand new Shopify Dropshipping store.

[THREAD]
First things first - I’m a regular person. 25. Graduated college. I work 60+ hours a week. Have a puppy, and a fiancé.

If I can do this, so can you. Im on pace to do 10k+ by the end of August.

So what was the secret to becoming this profitable in 1 week?

I kept it simple.
I found 1 product that had WOW factor. I stumbled upon it on facebook.

It’s unique and within a niche I knew I would be able to easily target with Facebook ads.

Surprisingly, this product only had 400 orders on aliexpress but I decided to go for it.
If you’re struggling to find a product to sell -

Go to Facebook and search terms like “50% off” “Get Yours Here” etc.

And sort by “Most Recent”

You will be shown several products that other competitors are currently testing.
Now for the store:

I went with Motion theme which is a premium theme I like using.

If you’re just starting, Brooklyn is fine.

Apps I recommend: Oberlo, Loox, InCart Upsell, and DEFINITELY SMSBump.

Check out my ROI with SMSbump - where else can you spend $1.41 to get $340?
My product costs me $10 on aliexpress. I priced it on my store for $39.95.

Another thing I wanted to test out, is upselling a warranty on my product.

So I offered an upsell of $10 lifetime warranty. (This would cover costs of an item, if they ever were to claim the warranty)
For advertising I went with Facebook Ads right away. Here’s how my campaign looked:

- 1 ABO campaign

- 10 adsets, 1 interest each, 1 PHOTO creative, $10/day each adset

- US ONLY, 18-65+, Mobile Only, FB and IG Feed only.

I let the campaign run for 3 days without touching it.
After 3 days if an adset did not get an add to cart, initiate checkout, or purchase. I would kill the adset.

If the adset DID get an add to cart, initiate checkout, or purchase, I let it run for another 3 days.

After 3 more days if an adset didn’t get a PURCHASE. I killed it.
So on day 7 I duplicated the adsets that had purchases and increased their budget.

The moment I increased the budget for those adsets I went from doing about $500 a day in sales to almost hitting 1k/day. Here is what day 7 looked like (yesterday)
So I’m currently on day 8. I’m going to let this campaign keep running and I will eventually launch lookalike audiences.

I’m excited to see where this store goes. Definitely surpassing 6 figures at this rate. Q4 will be insane.

Thank you guys for following the daily journey.
Here’s video proof for the people that may say the screenshots are fake. Total profit is right around $2250

If I can make $2250 profit in 1 week for a few hours of work from my laptop, so can you 🙂 (and the profit is only going to go up from there)
