HOW I MADE $13,015 IN SALES IN 20 DAYS ON A BRAND NEW DROPSHIPPING STORE:

[THREAD]

What’s up everyone, I’m Ricky.

First things first, if I can do this so can you. Prior to learning about Shopify Dropshipping I was on pace to be average

Went to college, secured a 9-5 with a comfortable salary, have a Yorkie named Lacey, etc.

After learning Shopify Dropshipping and Facebook Ads through several courses, hours of YouTube videos, I finally took action.

This one business move has completely changed my life’s trajectory. I’m now on pace to make six figures in Q4 alone.

So how did I manage to make 13k in sales in 20 days on a new Dropshipping store?

By following this basic formula:

Product + Store + Traffic = $$$

I created a 1 product shopify dropshipping store in a very passionate niche and offered 1 upsell.

The product:

The product has WOW factor, and is passion driven. Meaning people in this niche are passionate about it or it makes them feel something when they see it.

If you’re struggling to find a product

- Trick Facebook into thinking you’re an “Engaged Shopper”

Once you’re an “Engaged Shopper” in the eyes of Facebook, they will start showing you all sorts of dropshipping ads and products that are currently being tested.

(A lot of YouTube videos on this strategy)

Pricing the product:

The product costs $8 on aliexpress. I sell for $40. Very nice margins.

If you are thinking about selling a product make sure you can sell it for at least 3x the Aliexpress price.

Now for the store:

I used a premium theme - Motion.

Premium themes are not necessary, I’ve made thousands with free themes (Brooklyn is my favorite)

The store is simple.

-White background
-Black text
-1 accent color for the buttons and announcement bar that matched my brand

No spammy pop ups, spin the wheels, countdown timers, etc.

Apps I used and recommend: Loox, SMSBump, In Cart Upsell, InstaFeed (If you’re IG is aesthetic)

Checkout the ROI from SMSBump. Where else can you spend $5 and get $800 back?

Now for Marketing:

I strictly used Facebook ads.

I initially started with an ABO campaign where I was testing different interests, ad creatives, etc.

After about 7 days of testing I put the winning interests into a CBO with the winning ad creative.

Surprisingly, the wining ad creative was a photo I took on my iPhone 😂

I target US Only, Mobile Only, Instagram and Facebook Feed only.

For the Ad copy I like to structure it like this:

Line 1: Hook (grab their attention)
Line 2: Offer (50% off for a limited time only)
Line 3: Call to action (Get yours here: linktoproduct)

After 3 days if the campaign is profitable, I increase the CBO budget by 20-30% ♻️

So I’m currently 20 days in and its September 1st

I started running my Lookalike campaigns today and hope to hit 50k in sales by the end of September.

If you want to follow along my journey throughout Q4 as I scale to six figures, make sure to give me a follow 🙂
