So let's just say that by this journey, that starts 13 April 2018, I'm aiming to make my bones in BHW. I'm a 22 years old guy, just graduated as a materials engineer living in Casablanca, Morocco. my dream ? well, I can't put a dollar amount to it, let's just say that I want for now that this journey succeed if it doesn't, at least to make someone learn from my mistakes and succeed. So enough boring chat, let's get down to business. My Goals: Build a dropshipping store from Aliexpress Build a system for continuously testing products Build an organized process so I can easily automate it (by hiring VA, getting warehouses) <-- this is a looooong term goal for short term, the optimal scenario is making 1000$/month in profit 1.5-2 months from now The Plan : Product Research : Every product should respect these 3 conditions : VERY IMPORTANT - It is ALREADY selling : I will know that from spying on other dropshippers, using some tricks that I'll show later on on this journey - It targets a passionate niche (fishing, hunting ...) AND/OR Solves a PROBLEM - The product should have a HIGH PROFIT MARGIN : No cheap stuff in Aliexpress, no rings/necklace/wallet/key-chain. only product that can get sold with a 15$+ profit margin. Sources of ideas: - Facebook (using the search bar! duh! to find dropshippers and jack their sh**t .. nothing personal strictly business) - Wish.com - Site:myshopify.com "niche" or site:myshopify.com "product" on google Ad Text/Video : The videos that I will use on my ads are Copied from already existing videos on facebook (the ones that I "stole" the product from) I will just download and do some LITTLE editing. Ad text : I will not change my competitor ad text, I will ctrl+c ctrl+v the ad text WHY ? .. well, if my competitor is already selling the product and getting aloot of like and comments and shares why would I change his ad. NEVER CHANGE A WINNING TEAM Product page: I will build the best Product page I can. Find the best product images Write my best product description, contains images, Gifs videos and a lot of information Implement a "Buy 2 to save 50%" because it worked for me in the past Import photo reviews of the product I repeat .. PHOTO REVIEWS from Aliexpress usually using loox app add scarcity and a countdown .. I will not make it look spammy Add the new option in shopify themes "dynamic checkout" so I give the option to my customers to go directly to checkout and not go to cart then checkout. etc... Testing (fb ads): the plan is : - Every product will have 1 adset of a budget of 10$/day - Test 2 Products / day - Wait 3-4 days for the product, if I make a profit on this product I will keep it if not I will KILL THE AD and move on to another product the next day - the first testing period will be of 11 days Here's a little table explaining the process upload_2018-4-13_3-23-24.png So as you can see in the table, Day 1 : i will test 2 products 2 products = 2 ad sets = 20 $ / day Day 2 : let the ads for the 2 first products run and add another 2 products well I hope you get the idea That means that in day 5 for example I will be running full speed testing 8 products simultaneously This will leave me with a budget of 560 $ in 11 days CONCLUSION This was an introduction to my journey, I'm taking it very seriously .. don't worry if something isn't clear I will explain every step that I will take in details at its time. I will not update daily, I will update when I've done enough work so every update can be well written (well I will try) Final thought, many of you will find putting 560 $ to test is a lot, Focusing on one product is a BIG MISTAKE, you'll fall in love with it and you'll try your best to make it work but in the end you'll find yourself with no or little sales. Wish me luck guys I fucking need it!

The goal is to find a lot of products that respects the 3 conditions that I talked about on my first post. So how’s that ? First : Facebook.com I will go to Facebook and type these queries in the search box: “goo.gl” AND “free shipping” “bit.ly” AND “free shipping” “/collections” AND “free shipping” “goo.gl” AND “get yours” “goo.gl” AND “order here” “bit.ly” AND “order “bit.ly” AND “get yours” “bit.ly” AND “order here” “goo.gl” AND “order” etc…. (be smart in finding this kind of combinations) THE MAJORITY of dropshippers put this on their ads .. with this method I get some very interesting products, that have this kind of engagement: upload_2018-4-13_15-9-12.png Usually most of the them are Video ads .. that proves that video ads are waaaaay better than photo ads by the way. Anyway, I add to that one little filter and the most important! The ad should be posted this year not 2017/2016, I do that by selecting 2018 here : upload_2018-4-13_15-9-31.png After that I will collect all the products that have a lot of engagement, ESPECIALLY SHARES Likes and comments and no shares is BAD .. probably mean the product is boring .. we are looking for something that makes the person share it with friends .. not just like it and scroll down. Shares and comments makes a post go viral, and bring organic ad impressions. Second method : wish.com + Facebook This method takes time I will not start with it now. probably will hire someone and train them to do it in the future. ------------------ Now all of I’m doing is fill my excel file with product using the first method. The next update will be when I will start building my store (themes, product page customization, branding .....). Stay tuned

Random CSS Property

scroll-padding-inline-start

The scroll-padding-inline-start property defines offsets for the start edge in the inline dimension of the optimal viewing region of the scrollport: the region used as the target region for placing things in view of the user. This allows the author to exclude regions of the scrollport that are obscured by other content (such as fixed-positioned toolbars or sidebars) or to put more breathing room between a targeted element and the edges of the scrollport.
