WEBVTT 00:00.110 --> 00:05.510 So now it's time for me to introduce you to another fantastic resource of reliable suppliers. 00:05.510 --> 00:07.340 And for that, we're going to use an app. 00:07.340 --> 00:09.740 And that app is called Dsos. 00:09.740 --> 00:16.760 So what I'd like you to do, of course, is to come down to apps and then type in D s and you see this 00:16.760 --> 00:19.400 Dsos AliExpress dropshipping. 00:19.400 --> 00:22.730 Now just in case you're thinking dsos, that's a kind of funny name. 00:22.730 --> 00:24.950 Well, DS stands for dropshipping. 00:24.950 --> 00:26.720 So if you like it's Dropshippers. 00:26.720 --> 00:32.090 So let's click on the link to open up the App Store, where of course we land on the DS home page. 00:32.090 --> 00:38.090 And you can see straight away that this is a very well respected app, because we have a five star rating 00:38.090 --> 00:40.760 from over 25,000 reviews. 00:40.760 --> 00:45.170 And scrolling on down a bit further, you can see that it's been around since 2018. 00:45.170 --> 00:51.320 Now this app, like dropshipping, is also free, but their business model is a little bit different 00:51.320 --> 00:54.740 because for them to make money, they do have some paying versions. 00:54.740 --> 00:59.510 If I scroll down towards the bottom here, you can see that there's a basic version, an advanced version 00:59.510 --> 01:00.920 and a pro version. 01:00.920 --> 01:05.300 And just to be clear, right now, we don't need anything more than the basic version. 01:05.300 --> 01:07.850 And so there is absolutely nothing to pay. 01:07.850 --> 01:12.290 So what is Dsrs and how does it differ from dropshipping? 01:12.290 --> 01:18.230 Well, you will remember from the last lecture that dropshipping effectively uses warehouses around 01:18.230 --> 01:23.630 the world where they buy in products and stock them so that you can then of course add those products 01:23.630 --> 01:24.590 to your store. 01:24.590 --> 01:26.930 Now, Dsrs doesn't do that. 01:26.930 --> 01:34.670 Instead, what they do is show reliable suppliers within the app from a huge website called AliExpress, 01:34.670 --> 01:36.170 which you've probably heard of. 01:36.170 --> 01:41.570 But if you haven't, AliExpress is an absolutely enormous marketplace with hundreds of thousands of 01:41.570 --> 01:44.180 suppliers and literally millions of products. 01:44.180 --> 01:50.720 And so if I scroll on up a bit here towards the description, you see this AliExpress dropshipping solution 01:50.720 --> 01:52.040 to place orders. 01:52.040 --> 01:52.340 Okay. 01:52.340 --> 01:54.320 We're going to look at that in a future lecture. 01:54.320 --> 02:00.410 But right now we're going to use it to find suppliers and import products in other words this is a whole 02:00.410 --> 02:02.600 new source of reliable suppliers. 02:02.600 --> 02:08.750 But before we get started and actually install this app, because DS uses AliExpress, the first thing 02:08.750 --> 02:13.400 we want to do is to create an AliExpress account, which of course is completely free. 02:13.400 --> 02:19.430 And so to do that, the first thing we need to do is to go over to Aliexpress.com and create a free 02:19.430 --> 02:20.150 account. 02:20.150 --> 02:25.670 And to do that, just come over here to the top right hand corner where you see either sign in or register. 02:25.670 --> 02:30.800 So I'm going to click on register and then I'll put in my email, which of course is going to be info 02:30.800 --> 02:32.600 at best bargains.com. 02:32.600 --> 02:35.630 And then for the rest it's a pretty standard signup procedure. 02:35.630 --> 02:37.730 So I don't think you need to watch me while I do it. 02:37.730 --> 02:40.040 So I'll see you in a moment once I'm done. 02:40.730 --> 02:41.270 Okay. 02:41.270 --> 02:41.840 I'm back. 02:41.840 --> 02:47.030 I've created my free account and as you can now see in the top right hand corner it says, hi Tim. 02:47.030 --> 02:50.630 So what I suggest you do at this point is stay logged in. 02:50.630 --> 02:53.030 There really is no reason to log out. 02:53.030 --> 02:56.720 And then of course what we need to do is to install the DS's app. 02:56.720 --> 03:02.000 So going back to the app home page, let's scroll up and of course click on install. 03:02.000 --> 03:06.260 Click on install once again and then we will need to register. 03:06.260 --> 03:09.710 So what I suggest you do here is click on Register Yourself. 03:09.710 --> 03:13.220 So clicking on the button my email is already filled in. 03:13.220 --> 03:19.880 And so therefore all I need to do is to create a password and click on Get Started where you then see 03:19.880 --> 03:22.130 this login and authorize. 03:22.130 --> 03:27.770 Are you sure you want to use the currently logged in Deezer's account to bind and authorize to Shopify? 03:27.770 --> 03:28.940 Well, yes we do. 03:28.940 --> 03:30.680 So let's click on confirm. 03:30.680 --> 03:33.650 It then presents us with the various paid plans. 03:33.650 --> 03:37.280 But as I've already pointed out, we only need the free version. 03:37.280 --> 03:43.730 So next to the free version, just click on Get Started and then we want to actually link to the suppliers 03:43.730 --> 03:46.550 themselves, which of course are on AliExpress. 03:46.550 --> 03:52.760 So I click on this AliExpress button here where I'm basically authorizing the connection to AliExpress 03:52.760 --> 03:53.990 from DS's. 03:53.990 --> 03:59.210 And because I already have an account, all I need to do is to click on login and you see that it says 03:59.210 --> 04:04.160 here we have detected that you are already logged in and can be authorized immediately. 04:04.160 --> 04:08.150 And that's why I asked you to stay logged in to your free AliExpress account. 04:08.150 --> 04:11.390 And so therefore all I need to do is to click on authorize. 04:11.390 --> 04:14.510 Which brings me finally to the DS's app. 04:14.510 --> 04:20.120 And just before we do get started, let's go back to Shopify Admin to show you how this has now been 04:20.120 --> 04:22.940 installed so that you can access it at any time. 04:22.940 --> 04:24.140 So I'm back on admin. 04:24.140 --> 04:29.270 I click on apps and here is of course the DS's app installed and clicking on it. 04:29.270 --> 04:31.370 It brings me to the home page. 04:31.370 --> 04:36.590 Now of course we're looking for great products with reliable suppliers, and that means we want to go 04:36.590 --> 04:39.950 straight over to find suppliers in the left hand menu. 04:39.950 --> 04:46.670 So clicking on Find Suppliers, it brings up a fantastic search engine allowing us to easily find great 04:46.670 --> 04:47.360 products. 04:47.360 --> 04:52.250 Now at this point you might be thinking, well, why don't we just go straight on aliexpress.com? 04:52.250 --> 04:54.380 Why do we need to install this app? 04:54.380 --> 04:57.170 And the reason for that is in fact three fold. 04:57.170 --> 04:59.750 First of all, as you're about to see DS makes. 05:00.130 --> 05:05.830 Very easy for us to import products directly from AliExpress onto our store. 05:05.830 --> 05:11.740 And then secondly, as you'll see later on in the course, it also makes it really easy for us to fulfill 05:11.740 --> 05:12.430 orders. 05:12.430 --> 05:18.400 And thirdly, and this is the really important point right now, Dsrs has done all of the hard work 05:18.400 --> 05:22.000 for us in finding the reliable suppliers on AliExpress. 05:22.000 --> 05:27.730 As I said to you a few minutes ago, AliExpress has hundreds of thousands of suppliers and I can assure 05:27.730 --> 05:34.840 you that not all of them are good, but by using Dsrs and you can see here the DS's premium selection, 05:34.840 --> 05:40.570 what you're now looking at are products from suppliers that we know are going to be able to ship the 05:40.570 --> 05:45.520 products in the time that they say, and also continue to restock those products. 05:45.520 --> 05:49.930 Should we start to get perhaps hundreds or maybe even thousands of orders on our site? 05:49.930 --> 05:54.850 So now to find great products, the first thing I'll want to do is to search on my niche. 05:54.850 --> 06:01.660 So of course I'll enter in dog and then click on okay and then to find those products that I know are 06:01.660 --> 06:06.130 going to sell, I'll want to order them by the highest number of orders first. 06:06.130 --> 06:09.100 And to do that all I have to do is to click on orders. 06:09.100 --> 06:16.210 And now I can see all of the best selling dog products from the most reliable suppliers on AliExpress. 06:16.210 --> 06:23.260 Now, slightly annoyingly, DS doesn't allow us to filter by price, but nevertheless, it's still quite 06:23.260 --> 06:28.330 easy to go through the list and find fantastic products that match the golden rules. 06:28.450 --> 06:32.650 And so, scrolling on down a bit, I quite like the look of this dog jacket. 06:32.680 --> 06:38.530 Now you can see that when I hover over it, this little icon pops up that says add to import list. 06:38.530 --> 06:42.460 And when I click on this, it immediately imports the product. 06:42.460 --> 06:46.990 Now it's important to realize at this stage it hasn't yet added it to my store. 06:46.990 --> 06:53.710 What it's done is added it to the import list on DS's, and to show you that if I just close this and 06:53.710 --> 06:58.600 draw your attention to the left hand menu here, where you see import list, and there's also a little 06:58.600 --> 06:59.530 one next to it. 06:59.530 --> 07:02.440 So when I click on this it shows the import list. 07:02.440 --> 07:04.990 And here is the product that I just added. 07:04.990 --> 07:11.020 And so now to finally add this to my store, all I need to do is to hover over this little icon where 07:11.020 --> 07:12.220 it says push to store. 07:12.220 --> 07:17.620 Click on it where because we're going to edit the product afterwards on Shopify Admin, you can just 07:17.620 --> 07:20.740 go ahead and click on Push to Stores and that's it. 07:20.740 --> 07:22.480 That product has now been added. 07:22.480 --> 07:24.640 So let's go back to Shopify Admin. 07:24.640 --> 07:25.990 Go to products. 07:25.990 --> 07:28.840 And here is the product that I just added. 07:28.840 --> 07:31.780 I think you would agree that that is incredibly easy. 07:31.780 --> 07:35.830 Now of course when I click into this I've got plenty of tidying up to do. 07:35.830 --> 07:41.440 But of course you already know what's required because in lecture 20 I gave you those three fantastic 07:41.440 --> 07:48.070 tips on how to write great titles, descriptions and organize your images to make sure that your product 07:48.070 --> 07:48.970 will sell. 07:48.970 --> 07:54.850 So if you are in any doubt, once again I suggest you go back to that lecture and give yourself a reminder. 07:54.850 --> 07:59.440 So what I'm going to do now is actually tidy up this product and then I'll see you back here once I'm 07:59.440 --> 07:59.890 done. 08:00.690 --> 08:01.740 Okay, I'm back. 08:01.740 --> 08:06.090 And you can now see that I have an incredibly comfortable dog jacket with harness. 08:06.090 --> 08:07.890 And then just a couple of checks. 08:07.890 --> 08:12.480 And I know that we've talked about these in previous lectures, but there's no harm in a gentle reminder 08:12.480 --> 08:13.590 from time to time. 08:13.590 --> 08:16.860 So first of all, make sure that the status is active. 08:16.860 --> 08:22.710 And then under publishing and sales channels, you want to see the online store, which I'm not seeing 08:22.710 --> 08:23.340 at the moment. 08:23.340 --> 08:29.640 So to fix that, go over to the three little dots, click on Manage Sales channels, select the online 08:29.640 --> 08:32.850 store, tick off the point of sale and click on done. 08:32.850 --> 08:34.290 And now it's showing. 08:34.290 --> 08:40.320 And then to make sure that this product is easily found on my site, I want to add it to the appropriate 08:40.320 --> 08:41.310 collection. 08:41.310 --> 08:45.960 But going back to the store here and clicking on our fabulous products. 08:45.960 --> 08:51.600 At the moment I don't have a jackets collection, so let me actually go ahead and create one. 08:51.600 --> 08:58.830 So first off, I'll go back to the product and save it, then go over to Collections Create Collection 08:58.830 --> 09:02.070 and add the title jackets and click on save. 09:02.130 --> 09:09.480 Now I can go back to my products, find my dog jacket with harness and then scroll down the bottom here 09:09.480 --> 09:13.170 where we see the collections and I click on jackets. 09:13.170 --> 09:14.880 So now we can save this. 09:14.880 --> 09:20.790 But of course we still need to add a jacket collection to the menu so that it shows up in the drop down 09:20.790 --> 09:21.330 list. 09:21.330 --> 09:28.620 So let's go over to the online store and navigation over to the main menu and open up the Our Fabulous 09:28.620 --> 09:35.010 Products submenu where we're going to add another menu item, which of course is called jackets. 09:35.100 --> 09:39.810 And then we're going to link that to our jacket collection. 09:39.930 --> 09:42.990 I'll click on add and then save. 09:43.020 --> 09:46.020 Go back to my site and refresh. 09:46.020 --> 09:50.250 And now under our fabulous products here is jackets. 09:50.250 --> 09:54.210 And of course when I click on it here is my newly added product. 09:54.210 --> 10:00.990 And that means that you now understand how to add fantastic products from a whole new range of reliable 10:00.990 --> 10:03.210 suppliers using Dz's. 10:03.210 --> 10:09.420 And just to be clear, you can use both dropshipping and Dz's at the same time. 10:09.420 --> 10:11.880 You don't need to choose one or the other. 10:11.880 --> 10:18.510 Now, to be honest, with such an enormous range of products on offer between dropshipping and dz's, 10:18.510 --> 10:21.480 you really don't need any other apps. 10:21.480 --> 10:27.540 But just for completeness, in the next lecture, I'm going to run through some of the other better 10:27.540 --> 10:31.740 known apps so that you're fully aware of all the possibilities.
