So, as I'm sure you remember in the lecture when we created the logo, I said in a few lectures time,
I was going to show you how you could find a really exciting market for yourself and most importantly,
find highly profitable products within that market that will sell well.
That moment is now, because in the next few lectures, I'm going to show you exactly that.
This really is an exciting moment, as it's now that you really start to get an understanding of how
exciting this business can be.
Now, up to this point, of course, we've been focusing on building a fantastic store, and that's
great.
But ultimately we are creating a real business.
We are here to make money and so on that subject, how much money could we realistically make?
Well, you're going to see that we want to make a minimum of $10 profit per sale.
So let's imagine you make 30 sales a day, which in the world of e-commerce is nothing.
That would be $300 a day or around $10,000 a month.
And so I'm sure you can see how quickly this can start to add up.
Okay, let's get into this lecture.
Because before we get to all that exciting stuff, I'm going to show you how to install your very first
app.
Now, the app we're about to install is going to help us find a highly profitable market in no time
at all.
And also, it's a great opportunity for me to introduce you to the App Store and for you to see how
quick and easy apps are to install.
And so what I'd like you to do is to come down here where you see add apps and click on it.
It then brings up this dialog box with many suggested apps.
But what I would like you to do is to come down towards the bottom here, where it says, find more
apps in the Shopify App Store and then click on Shopify App Store.
And that, as you would expect, takes you to the App Store.
And once you're here, I'd like you to come up to the search bar and type in C, J, dropshipping.
And then you're going to see this c j dropshipping much faster.
I'd like you to click on that.
And it takes you to the home page for the dropshipping app itself.
Now to be honest, I could install this app by a faster method, but I wanted to show you this page
because the layout for this page is the same for every app.
And therefore, by giving you a quick overview, I hope it helps you to become comfortable with the
App Store, and also to see how quick and easy it is to install any app.
Okay, so let's have a look at the key points.
First of all, of course you have the title.
And then below that it's going to mention the price.
And as you can see here dropshipping is completely free to install.
And while it might say here additional charges may apply.
We don't need any of that functionality.
For us dropshipping is completely free.
And that's completely in line with everything that I tried to recommend on this course.
You might remember me saying a few lectures ago that I will always try to recommend the best services
at the best price, and of course, only those products that I have used myself for years.
And so dropshipping is no exception.
And so below the price, you then have the rating and the number of reviews, and this combination is
key when selecting any app.
So first of all you want to make sure that the rating is at least 4.5.
So you can see here that we've got 4.9.
But equally important you want to make sure that that rating is made up of a large number of reviews.
And you can see for dropshipping the number of reviews is well over 7000.
And that's because this app has been around for a long time.
It is very well established, which is another key point because if possible, you really only want
to work with apps that have proven themselves, that have been around for a considerable time.
And if I scroll down here a little bit, you're going to see this about this app.
And as you can see, dropshipping has been around since January 6th, 2020.
And so for the rest of this page, if I scroll up a bit, you'll often see some sort of video introducing
you to the app itself.
They'll then be a brief description about what the app is about and all the great things that it can
do.
And on that subject, you're going to see that not only are we going to use dropshipping to identify
a really exciting market, but we're also going to be using it to find fantastic products and processing
our sales as they come in.
It really is a very powerful app.
Then just scrolling on down a bit further, it will talk about the pricing, but of course we've already
discussed that and then the actual reviews themselves.
And of course, these days reviews are super important whenever we decide to buy anything.
And in the case of apps, I always want to make sure that there are a considerable number of five star
reviews.
And of course, for dropshipping, that's exactly the case.
Okay, so that's a quick overview of the app home page.
And as I said, it's the same layout more or less for every single app.
And so therefore all we need to do now is to install this app.
And to do that of course we're going to go ahead and click on the install button.
So I click on in-store.
And it takes me to this intermediate page where it's going to say how it's going to interact with my
store.
And again, for almost every app, you're going to see a page, something like this.
And so now all I need to do is to click on install once again.
Which brings me to this dialog box where I can either log in or register.
Now of course we don't yet have a CGI account, so we'll need to register.
So first of all check here where it says please read and agree to the store authorization agreement.
And then come down here where you see no account.
And just click on Register here, which takes us to the registration form where you'll need to put in
an email.
And of course create a password.
So for the email once again I suggest you use the same email that you used when you signed up for Shopify
in the first place.
So for me, that's going to be of course Tim, dropshipping expert at gmail.com.
I'll then create a password and confirm it.
Don't forget to check the box to agree to the user agreement and then simply click on next.
I'll then need to put in a username.
So I'm going to put in Tim Sharp dropship.
And then of course my name.
So Tim Sharp and then my phone number.
And then go ahead and click on confirm.
You should then see this a registration success and then some kind of user questionnaire.
And what I suggest you do here is simply skip through all of that by coming down here and clicking on
Skip.
Skip once again.
And when the page refreshes, congratulations!
You have now installed a dropshipping.
You now have an incredibly powerful app at your fingertips.
Now, in a minute, I'm going to show you how to find an incredibly exciting and very profitable market.
But just before we do that, I'd like to go back to the admin system because I now want to show you
what that looks like now that the dropshipping app has been installed.
So heading back to the admin system, it looks much the same as before.
But if I come down here and click on apps, you now see this installed apps.
And it's here that you see dropshipping.
And so now to access dropshipping directly at any time, all I need to do is to click on this.
And as I do of course it opens up the dropshipping app.
So really super congratulations if you've reached this point in the course.
Because now not only do you know how to install your very first app, but also I'm about to show you
how to use that app to find a really profitable market in under five minutes.
