How to start a Shopify/ Alidropship business and make $1000 daily

Thread.
So what is drop shipping?
I have a website filled with products, a customer goes to my website and makes an order, I contact the product supplier and make the same order, the supplier sends the product straight to the customer. I am the middle man, I don't see the product.
You don't need to have inventory of products or buy the products and store before you sell. You only buy the products when the customer has already paid you for them.
Now there are dropshipping platforms, you can dropship with Amazon, eBay, Alidropship, Shopify. In this thread, I would be talking about dropshipping with Alidropship simply because it can save you tons of money through one time payments.
People will say why not Shopify, to sell on Shopify, you will have to be paying $29 monthly subscription but with alidropship, you make a one time payment of $89 and use the service free. I don't recommend Dropshipping with Amazon or eBay.
So before I dive in proper, $100 = #36,700 keep this in mind and calculate costs as you go through this thread.
So what you need:
A website (domain name + 1yr hosting) = $52 on alidropship.

Alidropship plugin= $89 (they give you 15% discount)
If you don't have the skills to create a website, don't worry. The plugin is a ready made website, you just need to add products once setup. Alidropship provides support, so you can call or email their support anytime you need help with something and they will do it for you
So now you have your Alidropship website and plugin, you need to find a profitable niche.

A lot of beginners make a huge mistake by selecting a niche because they love it. Huge mistake, there are tools to help you select a nich, Facebook search, Google trends etc
I won't talk much about using the tools to select a niche, but here are some niche I have researched and found profitable.

Sunglasses
Men's wallet.
Anime: Naruto
So now yo have found that profitable niche, you need to fill your store with product.

Now, with the help of the Alidropship plugin you bought earlier, you import products from aliexpress. Yes aliexpress. Products are supper cheap there and you can set up high mark up prices.
So you simply go to aliexpress and import products that cost $3-$4 and you can set up prices for them as high as $15.
So a customer orders a $15 product on your site and pays, you receive the money and order it from aliexpress for $3
Now remember that the plugin you bought for $89 will automatically order this product from aliexpress with the click of a button and send it to the customer
Remember that having a website and very profitable niche won't give you sales, you need traffic to sell and this is where Facebook ads come in
You can create Facebook ads for your products for as low as #500 daily. Although I recommend #1000 daily ad sets. If you don't have any knowledge on how to create ads, don't worry, just go to YouTube and download videos on how to create Facebook ads
Guys, you can dropshipping from anywhere in the world and the market is so huge that you can sell to up to 200 countries. So now let's talk about payments. How do I get paid? So since we will be selling in $$, how do I get paid
Because you will be selling to a global audience, you will need to integrate PayPal and stripe payment gateways. Now both of these payment gateways does not directly accept Nigerians because of fraud. Nigerians can send money with PayPal but cannot receive. For stripe, you need
To register your business in the US. So let me break it down
There are ways to use PayPal of your e-store but I won't be saying that here, stripe is better.

To use stripe, you need to register your business in the US and you don't have to be in the US to register your business. There are freelance websites where you can get this service
And it would cost about $150. Myllc.com and myusacorpration.com
Although PayPal is free as easier, I won't be giving out the steps, because I want to help reduce fraudulent behavior in nigeria
So now you have registered your business and gotten your stripe account integrated to your website. How do you get your funds to Nigeria. It's simple, go to payoneer.com and resister, it's free. Payoneer provides you with an a card you can use on any ATM
Around the world. So when you get paid, you simply transfer the funds from your stripe account to your payoneer account. Once your funds are in your payoneer account, go to the ATM and withdraw
Do you do all these right, you can be making $1000 daily and afford that life your 9-5 won't give you.
Remember the checklist:

• create a store
• add products
• do Facebook ads and
• withdraw your profit
To get deeper information, go to Alidropship.com or Shopify.com but I recommend Alidropship
