WEBVTT 00:00.050 --> 00:04.940 Welcome back to what is another very exciting part of the course, because we're now going to add your 00:04.940 --> 00:07.160 very first product to your store. 00:07.160 --> 00:12.650 But just before we do that, as a quick recap, I'm sure you appreciate now how much you've learned 00:12.650 --> 00:18.950 in just the last three lectures, because I've shown you how to choose your profitable market, how 00:18.950 --> 00:24.170 to find products within that market that will sell, and then finally, with the golden rules, which 00:24.170 --> 00:30.140 you've just learned, you now know how to select the right products to generate a profit of at least 00:30.140 --> 00:32.270 $10 with every sale. 00:32.270 --> 00:34.010 Okay, so let's get started. 00:34.010 --> 00:39.470 And as you can see, I'm over here on dropshipping and I've done a search on dog, which of course is 00:39.470 --> 00:40.220 my niche. 00:40.220 --> 00:45.200 And as you would expect, because I taught you this a couple of lectures ago, I've ordered the results 00:45.200 --> 00:51.470 by lists so that we can see straight away those products that are most in demand, those products which 00:51.470 --> 00:52.340 will sell. 00:52.340 --> 00:59.270 So now the last piece of the jigsaw, in order to ensure that we make a minimum of $10 profit every 00:59.270 --> 01:04.190 sale is, of course, to apply the golden rules that you learnt in the last lecture. 01:04.190 --> 01:06.260 So let's go step by step. 01:06.260 --> 01:12.590 And of course, the first golden rule was that we want to buy products for under $10 and then sell them 01:12.590 --> 01:15.860 on our store for between 25 and 30. 01:15.860 --> 01:22.190 And that means here on dropshipping, we're only interested in products which are less than $10. 01:22.190 --> 01:27.680 And luckily for us, C.J. makes this super simple because of course we have this price filter. 01:27.680 --> 01:34.100 So all I need to do is to put in here on the max $10 and then click on confirm. 01:35.680 --> 01:40.870 And now I know that every single product in the result is going to be $10 or less. 01:40.870 --> 01:43.780 So that's golden rule number one taken care of. 01:43.780 --> 01:49.900 Now, what we want to do as we scan down through the results is to simply keep in mind the other golden 01:49.900 --> 01:50.440 rules. 01:50.440 --> 01:55.390 So let's remind ourselves first of all, the product shouldn't be too heavy. 01:55.390 --> 01:57.580 It shouldn't be too fragile. 01:57.580 --> 01:59.830 There should be high quality images. 01:59.830 --> 02:06.100 We want to avoid all branded products and crucially, it either needs to solve a problem or cater to 02:06.100 --> 02:06.940 a passion. 02:06.940 --> 02:11.500 Now when you do this for the first time, it might seem a little complicated, a little overwhelming 02:11.500 --> 02:12.130 perhaps. 02:12.130 --> 02:15.280 But the key here is not to overthink it. 02:15.280 --> 02:20.560 And I can promise you that once you've done this just a handful of times, it will start to get quicker 02:20.560 --> 02:26.380 and quicker and easier and easier, and you'll be selecting fantastic products in no time at all. 02:26.380 --> 02:31.750 And the other thing to emphasize is it doesn't matter if you make mistakes in a moment, I'm going to 02:31.750 --> 02:35.620 show you how you can very easily add a product to your store. 02:35.620 --> 02:39.010 But should you add a product to your store that later on you don't want? 02:39.010 --> 02:42.940 It is really easy to remove it and I'll show you that in the next lecture. 02:42.940 --> 02:44.620 So please don't worry. 02:44.620 --> 02:50.590 So as I scroll down through these products, you can probably see that most of these do in fact already 02:50.590 --> 02:52.060 fit the golden rules. 02:52.060 --> 02:57.700 And then a little additional tip as we go down through the results, is to make sure that the number 02:57.700 --> 03:02.050 of lists, the number of orders doesn't drop below 100. 03:02.050 --> 03:08.080 Now, this is by no means a fixed rule, but we do, of course want to sell products that are in demand. 03:08.080 --> 03:12.370 And so products that have sold at least 100 is a good indication of that. 03:12.490 --> 03:16.570 So while I've been talking to you, this dog leash here has caught my eye. 03:16.570 --> 03:21.430 I think this could be a really interesting product to add to my site, but the first thing I want to 03:21.430 --> 03:25.300 do, of course, is to make sure that it matches all of the golden rules. 03:25.300 --> 03:28.270 So let's have a look at this product in a bit more detail. 03:28.270 --> 03:31.450 And to do that, all I need to do is to simply click on it. 03:31.930 --> 03:34.900 And it brings up this more detailed product page. 03:34.900 --> 03:41.230 So now let's go through the Golden rules once again, but this time specifically related to this product. 03:41.230 --> 03:44.170 So of course we already know that it's $10 or less. 03:44.170 --> 03:46.390 So that's the first golden rule taken care of. 03:46.390 --> 03:48.370 Then for the second golden rule. 03:48.370 --> 03:49.600 Is it too heavy? 03:49.600 --> 03:50.470 Well no it's not. 03:50.470 --> 03:52.240 It's just simply a lead for a dog. 03:52.240 --> 03:53.290 Is it fragile? 03:53.290 --> 03:56.410 Well, clearly it isn't fragile because it's made to be durable. 03:56.410 --> 04:01.060 Are there high quality images where you can see the images down the left hand side here? 04:01.060 --> 04:04.390 And as I put my cursor over them, there are even some videos. 04:04.390 --> 04:08.260 But all of these images, as you can see, are very high quality. 04:08.260 --> 04:13.150 And in fact, really any images you find on dropshipping will be of fantastic quality. 04:13.150 --> 04:15.520 So you really don't need to worry about that. 04:15.520 --> 04:21.730 The fifth golden rule was to avoid all branded products, and this is easy to check just simply by going 04:21.730 --> 04:22.990 through the various images. 04:22.990 --> 04:25.630 All you're looking for is a brand name. 04:25.630 --> 04:30.100 Obvious brand names would be things like Harry Potter or Nike, but as you can see, as I go through 04:30.100 --> 04:32.620 these images, there are no brand names mentioned. 04:32.620 --> 04:38.680 This is an unbranded product, and again, on most of the products that you're going to find will be 04:38.680 --> 04:39.610 unbranded. 04:39.610 --> 04:45.130 And so to the final golden rule, which of course is does it solve a problem or cater to a passion? 04:45.130 --> 04:50.590 Well, this product certainly solves a problem because it's a lead that lights up and therefore it protects 04:50.590 --> 04:54.430 the dog and also the dog owner at night while they're out walking. 04:54.430 --> 04:59.170 And so, as you can see in summary, this product meets all of the golden rules. 04:59.170 --> 05:04.030 So what we need to do now is to come down here to the bottom where you see this button list. 05:04.030 --> 05:06.730 Click on list which brings up this form. 05:06.730 --> 05:09.700 Now I know there's a lot of detail here, but good news. 05:09.700 --> 05:12.370 There's really only a couple of things that we need to do. 05:12.370 --> 05:17.110 The first of which is to come down here to product type and just type in the number one. 05:17.110 --> 05:23.140 Then click on add one and then go over to the vendor and do exactly the same process. 05:23.140 --> 05:25.840 So I type in a one and I click on add one. 05:25.840 --> 05:30.760 And then with that done come up to the top here where it says Variant pricing. 05:30.760 --> 05:35.800 Click on Variant Pricing and you can see that it brings up all kinds of information, which of course 05:35.800 --> 05:38.230 I will be teaching you later on in the course. 05:38.230 --> 05:43.630 But right now all we need to do is to come down here where you see this button, recommended listing 05:43.630 --> 05:46.750 price and simply click on it and that's it. 05:46.750 --> 05:52.990 There is nothing more to do except of course, we now want to send this product directly to my store. 05:52.990 --> 05:55.270 And to do that, it couldn't be easier. 05:55.270 --> 05:59.950 Just come down here in the bottom right hand corner and click on the button where it says list it. 05:59.950 --> 06:08.290 Now I click on list it now, and after just a few seconds I see this listed successfully, meaning that 06:08.290 --> 06:10.780 that product has now been sent to my store. 06:10.780 --> 06:15.430 And in the next lecture, I'm going to show you exactly what that looks like in the Shopify admin. 06:15.430 --> 06:20.560 But in the meantime, I would really encourage you to add just one product to your store. 06:20.560 --> 06:26.200 You've seen how simple and quick it is to do, and don't worry if you can't find exactly the product 06:26.200 --> 06:30.670 you're looking for at this stage, you can really add any product because it's so easy to remove it 06:30.670 --> 06:32.590 later should you need to. 06:32.590 --> 06:34.120 But either way, I really. 06:34.260 --> 06:35.970 Hope you can now see why. 06:36.000 --> 06:42.090 C.J., dropshipping is such a powerful tool in helping you choose your profitable market with products 06:42.090 --> 06:47.580 that will sell, and then listing those products on your store in just a few clicks. 06:47.580 --> 06:50.250 And all of that completely for free. 06:50.250 --> 06:55.230 Okay, super congratulations if you've reached this stage in the course, because if you have, you're 06:55.230 --> 06:58.200 well on your way now to building a fantastic business. 06:58.200 --> 07:03.720 But now it's time to leave dropshipping for a moment and head back to the Shopify admin system. 07:03.720 --> 07:08.700 Because as I said before, I now want to show you what this product looks like on your store. 07:08.700 --> 07:10.740 So I'll see you in a moment.
