in this video i'm going to be giving you an entire business plan that you can apply today to start your own shopify business so what up everybody ari here if you're new to the channel welcome if you're not then welcome back so most of my videos revolve around e-commerce specifically e-commerce on shopify however the biggest question that people ask is how to get a product idea or how to source products so i figured i would try something new and give you basically a business plan that makes sense i'll show you the data behind it so that you can be confident in it and basically set you free on your own entrepreneurial journey and this is the same advice that i've used myself to create six and seven figure brands so you can rest assured that if you actually do put in the work you too could build your own six figure business so the business idea today is revolving around teeth whitening teeth whitening is huge if we take a look at this search trend here on google you can see that it's consistently going up and right now there is a big dip which is actually a good opportunity to get in on it since people are most likely not going to be looking to start a business in this space however the trend is still really solid and we can definitely expect more and more people to get interested in teeth whitening the idea for this video actually came from alibaba reaching out to me about their new partner event so the second step here is to actually find a supplier now right now of course we're in chinese new year which means you shouldn't really be drop shipping anything since the shipping times are going to be ridiculously long and honestly it's not as hard as you think to source your own product in order in bulk maybe just to your garage to start out with but this is actually a great way to provide a really good service for your customer and not only that but by having your product in house you're gonna be able to produce content like tick tocks instagram reels and even youtube videos and this is part of the strategy once you actually do have your product so i'll mention a little bit more about that later in the video but first let me give you a supplier that you can use for teeth whitening specifically now alibaba. com reached out to me about the supplier because they're doing something really cool which is called the elite partner event so basically what this event is it's alibaba. com choosing some really incredible suppliers that they vetted really rigorously to put them together with awesome brands so each month alibaba.
com will select a group of global suppliers who have either really quality products or have established their own brands again like i said there's a really rigorous standard that is followed to ensure that the suppliers are authentic so since we looked at the teeth whitening search trend and we know that it's actually something people are looking for right now we can use a supplier like onus this is actually the elite partner program supplier that they're showcasing and i would start out with just a simple one product store so you can use this product right here for example they're bamboo charcoal teeth whitening strips and what's cool is that you can actually just order like 20 boxes for like 200 to your place and you can use one of the new shopify free themes to host your website for example if you use this theme right here but instead of a beauty product you use the teeth whitening strips you could literally build a brand in a matter of weeks and with a really low investment in not drop shipping and since this supplier is vetted by alibaba. com we know a lot of things about them so for example we know that they have 20 years plus of experience producing high-end oral care products so you know that you're getting a product that is actually really good quality which again is extremely important my brands right now are getting five star reviews basically every single week and it's because we spent extra time vetting suppliers and talking to hundreds of different suppliers basically to find ones that would produce the right quality stuff so this is why i thought this elite partner event was actually really cool and decided to share with you guys because it really will save you a lot of time in finding vetted suppliers like i said so all these chosen partners also get judged based on their factory quality and they're also vetted to be able to produce things really fast so for example if you just order their stock you can get it in literally seven days which is pretty insane obviously not every supplier is like this and if you wanted to actually customize it and get your logo on it you can get it in 15 to 30 days which is still not bad and what you can do is actually contact the supplier so that's sort of what they encourage you to do is to actually hit here and contact the supplier to start chatting with them and if you do produce a custom product you could have them send you pictures of the product being produced or of the product being done so that you can start building up hype for your brand before you even receive the product so let me specifically show you some products that you could start with now on their page right here this is their elite partner event page and their product right here looks really interesting it's residue free gel teeth whitening strips and what's really dope is that they're giving you some great benefits here that you can add to your description you could literally just use this exact stuff for it some of these images are really really nice and you can actually see that apparently they're the world's first residue free teeth winding strips which is really cool that's a pretty bold claim and definitely something that you should use yourself too now the other ones that are really cool these they look really really soft apparently they use sea salt from the dead sea or something like that they're actually gel ones so they're probably really really comfy on your teeth which is probably a big pain point with this type of stuff i'm not an expert in teeth whitening strips but these look real nice however they have a ton of other products and in fact for example the teeth whitening pens these look really nice as well and a lot of people have actually built huge brands off of teeth whitening pens it's definitely a proven product they also offer entire kits like this so i'm telling you guys like you could build an entire brand off of this supplier and again imagine using a theme like this which is completely free now on shopify but displaying your product and building up a waitlist you could do some serious damage and build a really dope business in a very short amount of time now for your marketing strategy since you're going to be ordering this product to yourself it's going to be quite simple so what you can do is just go on tick-tock and you can do something like what this brand is doing right here they have over 130 000 followers just posting this organic content so for example this video right here has 930 000 views customer do any of your crystals make the water poisonous to drink nope all our crystals are water safe so you will definitely not get sick drinking from our bottles so you could do something exactly like this but with your teeth whitening strips and obviously if you don't want to put yourself out on camera then you can send your products to influencers or anybody else to test it out and that's why i love this partner program because you know that the products are going to be really high quality otherwise alibaba. com wouldn't be showing you these products now again if you're consistent with your content even if you just film it on your phone like this brand right here then you're gonna be able to grow a very legitimate business from the very beginning without having to drop ship without having to invest a ton of money again like you could do this under 500 total when you consider the free shopify themes that you can use the low average order quantity that you can use with these suppliers and the free organic reach strategy that you can run on tick tock so i hope that some of you guys actually take this advice if you do please let me know how the brain goes it would be really great to see you succeed now i'll leave the links to this supplier and the elite partner event in the description so that you can literally just go and click it to get started i almost forgot but if you are gonna hit them up right now make sure you actually take advantage of this 20 off that they have for their elite partner event so again this is the event that's going on right now for alibaba.
