to start Drop Shipping with AliExpress and Shopify and at the end of this video I'm gonna let you in on what are the Hot Products to drop ship in 2023 this is the ultimate beginner's guide for Drop Shipping in 2023 so buckle in and let's do it hey guys what's up welcome back and if you're new here welcome my name is Michelle Bailey I'm a creative strategist and I'm your host for today's video now this channel that you're on this channel right here is called learn with Shopify it's going to give you all the information
that you need in order to start run and grown online business if you like Drop Shipping if you like this channel if you like making lots of money then hit subscribe and guys do me a favor please hit that like button because it really does help keep this channel alive okay let's get into it what is Drop Shipping so Drop Shipping is a low risk low-cost way of running an e-commerce business let me explain let's say you wanted to open up an online store one route that you can go is go to a manufacturer get
a custom product made pay a bunch of money for inventory and keep that inventory maybe in your basement somewhere and then you open up an online store and then you ship orders from your house that's one route right another route is you can go to the Drop Shipping method with this method instead of creating a product from scratch you work with a supplier to choose products that they already have in stock and you just simply make them available on your store so to do that the first step you would make an e-commerce store you would
link your suppliers products on your own store then you would advertise your products through ads and social media and then you would start getting orders once a customer places an order from you it's the drop shipper that gets notified so the drop shipper will get your customers orders ready in their warehouse ship it out and let your customers know that their products are on the way so essentially the drop shipper is responsible for sourcing the product fulfilling the order and shipping it out to your customers that first method we talked about you're responsible for literally
everything end to end but with Drop Shipping all you're responsible is making sure that a you've chosen a good product in the first place be advertising your products and also dealing with customer service and the operations of your eCommerce store so now you're probably wondering well why wouldn't everyone just go the Drop Shipping method if it's so easy so there are pros and there are cons to both the cons of Drop Shipping you have less quality control over your products that's because your suppliers are the ones who are doing the quality control on each product
and package before it goes out another con is that you may have a hard time selling a product that is truly Innovative and that no one else has because you're supplier likely has other clients that they're selling to whether it's the same or similar products and that also means more competition all right so let's move on to the pros of Drop Shipping so first of all you can get your Ecommerce site set up really quickly within a few clicks which is amazing another thing I love is that you can easily test products and suppliers with
no commitment also Drop Shipping means less work for you because you're not gonna have to ship every order and it also means less risk because you're not going to need to pay any money up front in inventory you're only going to need to pay for the cost of products as the orders come in in real time another thing is that you don't have to hold any inventory which means you're not going to have a million boxes in your living room which is great so this next one can be a pro or a con and that
is you're only as good as your supplier so let's say they're amazing and they're on time with every order then you're good but if they're experiencing delays and half the products they ship are broken then it's actually your business that's going to suffer how to drop ship here's how to get started with Drop Shipping in 2023 in seven steps so first up do research on your Drop Shipping business idea you're going to do research on a niche you're interested in and find out how profitable it can be so here are some tools to get you
