family and put food on the table and if they were lucky they would maybe get a promotion and truthfully what we are experiencing right now is a wealth transfer that we have never seen before if we go just 60 years back in time there was never a point in history where the average person could actually become rich because you were either born into good families or you had no hope the planet that we live on has existed for ages but only only the last 5 to 10 years has it been possible for normal people to

go from nobody SL average into a millionaire and yes you watching this can actually do it so today I will represent you the fastest and easiest way to start branded Drop Shipping in 2025 and I've broken it down into the most simple guide with no BS no unnecessary information just the advice that actually works so that after watching this video you will feel confident to start your own e-commerce journey and I can damn near guarantee you that if you listen to what I'm about to teach you your life is going to change the next 6

months now I'm going to assume that you watching this kind of know what Drop Shipping is but so that you know that I actually know what I'm talking about I want to show you my store so we are currently 15 days into November and this brand alone has made me over $356,000 in sales with almost 5,000 orders now the reason the graph is down here is because the day has just started but peing this month at $31,000 in sales I'm also going to break it down by October which is one of the best months I've

ever had where I did over $877,000 in sales peing at uh $38,988 in just one day now before I teach you how to start Drop Shipping in case you are new to the channel or you don't really know who I am I'm 23 years old from Norway I dropped out of school at 177 depressed looking for a way out to try to pursue my dream of Drop Shipping after seeing countless of te teenagers crushing it with the business model I wanted that to be myself I was at a hopeless point in my life I felt

like nothing was working everyone told me to get a normal job everyone told me I was crazy for dropping out of school but I had a dream fast forward to today I'm the owner of a $700,000 a month e-commerce brand last month we did over $800,000 and I've helped a th000 plus students make money with Drop Shipping now in case you live under a rock or this is your first time researching how to make money online I wanted to tell you how drop sh shipping work it's a very simple concept your customer spends let's say

$100 at your store okay you keep $60 of that as profit and your supplier on AliExpress for example has listed a product for $40 in fact let's make it simpler the customer pays you $100 you give $40 to your supplier you ship it out and you keep $60 yourself it's actually classic flipping just on a massive scale or you can get rich now I'm going to break this video down into three steps number one finding a product two customizing your website and making it actually stand out and have a branded feel and three how to

run your advertisements and bring in your first sale but let's talk about stage number one finding a product now when looking for a product to sell for Drop Shipping I can understand that this is going to be one of the hardest parts when starting but it doesn't actually have to be I'm going to show you exactly how to do it the best research methods right now as well and I'm going to keep it stupid simple for you the product has to either one help someone in their day-to-day life or two solve an insecurity or three

solve a problem now a lot of people think that they can sell boring home decor they can sell lamps they can sell projectors funny types of products but truthfully in life how much you make is usually correlated with the difficulty of the problem you solve and if you solve problems for a lot of people you're going to make a lot of money so for that exact reason I like to sell products that actually add value to someone's life and solve a problem now lastly the product needs to have a $2 plus margin okay we never

want to be in a situation where we're operating on low profit margins it's just not a good situation so how do you find these products what is the go-to strategy going to be like in 2025 well it's probably already in your hands your phone and we're going to use Instagram for this all right so we are on my Instagram right now and the first thing we encounter is a Drop Shipping product but I like to come down here to the real section and start scrolling now if this is your first time using this strategy you're

not going to encounter Drop Shipping product instantly you need to optimize the algorithm and even better create a new Instagram account from scratch that you can optimize towards Drop Shipping this is what we call a burner account but once I'm here I'm actually just going to start uh scrolling and liking every kind of physical product that seems to be a Drop Shipping ad the first one we encounter right here is some sort of a wind Blaster is actually a genius product that can for example blast snow away from your car it can blast Dust Away

for construction workers wood away or it can even just dry your car but I'm going to keep scrolling and I'm going to like everything that looks like a Drop Shipping ad and as you can see I'm finding tons of crazy products this one right here for example is a very simple product you put on your mirror and then you put your toothbrush inside of it and it sterilizes it so as you can see the bacteria percentage is 85 and it goes down so if you leave your toothbrush inside of hair for example for 30 minutes

you're able to get rid of all the bacterias and we can sell this to so many different people first of all we can scare them telling them that they are at risk for diseases in their mouth by not keeping good hygiene number two we can sell this to someone who's into dating who just kind of feel disgusted or number three we can just sell it pretty broad no reason to actually go to advance on it but scrolling down on Instagram we are going to find so many good products check out this one for example for

tea lovers you put all the tea in here but you don't want these leaves to get in your tea so you simply just press the button so you can see right here and uh it comes out perfect and as you can see we have Clear Proof of concept too that's the best part about the real strategy we can see that 750 people have left comments on this asking where to buy it we can see that it has 300,000 likes and we can even see that this guy has a store with 115,000 followers he's clearly crushing

it with the product so this is where we can come in and we can actually just make it a little bit better than he already is we follow this video we make it a little bit better we come up with our own audience and we crush it because if he can make money with it so can you so it really starts by browsing Instagram this is my goto method to find products it works insanely well and you will catch all the trends early not only that you'll also have the social proof to know whether or

not it's worth it now another thing I like to do is to save all the ads I find that are actually good so say for example you encounter this product you feel like it's the perfect thing to sell it helps girls it make them look better maybe it can help with some trendy way of selling their hair now I tend to like the product and save it to consider running it in the future so let's say we're going to go with this product right here how do we proceed now this is where we proceed into

stage two it's time to create your store and no this actually is not difficult at all the first thing we're going to do is we're going to head over to Shopify and we're going to start our store and Shopify has given me a link that gives you access to the platform for just $1 a month I don't know how much longer this deal is going to be available for but you have the chance to get started today for just $1 so of course I'm going to hook you up and leave the $1 Shopify Link in

the description of this video but the first thing you want to do is you want to start a trial and I'm going to go for a random email cuz I don't want you guys spamming me telling me about your editing Services I already have an editor okay so no Outreach low on this channel uh but yeah we're just going to make a random password and then we're going to go ahead and create our shopy account shopy is going to ask you a bunch of questions you can go ahead and Skip all of this but you

are not a dumb you know how to create an account on the software so let's skip this part and actually start designing our store so when you first come into shopy you're going to be a little bit confused as to where do I navigate what do I do but A good rule is to just go ahead and head over to settings here then you want to come down here to markets and you quickly just want to go ahead and add a market where you are going to select worldwide just like I have done here it's

called International next thing you want to do is to just quickly set up your shipping settings which is done in shipping and delivery just to make sure the customer can actually purchase so we're going to go here into new zones then what you want to do is to you want to add the shipping Zone it's going to give you the option of worldwide so just check worldwide then you're going to get your rates you want to go ahead and add a rate we're going to call it free shipping that's going to be $0 and then

we're going to save because with the Drop Shipping Store free shipping is necessary or you're going to have so many people checking out without completing the purchase now before customizing your store let's go ahead and import a product so you remember the product that I showed you on reels which girls were going crazy over as you can see I found a similar variant right here on AliExpress so what you want to do is just search up the product I search right here hair blowout and I quickly found the product so what I'm going to do

next is I'm going to uh copy the link right here and to import a product to your store and actually connect it with Shopify we are going to use autods and in most cases you can actually find it here on the trending product section so we can search for example hair blowout and if we scroll as you can see we are going to encounter this product after a little bit of scrolling but let's say it's not there you want to go with a specific version You're simply just going to come up here to add products

you're going to go with single product then the next thing we're going to do is we're going to go here on the supplier URL we're simply just going to go ahead and put in the AliExpress link then we can also edit it very quickly here of course we will automatically get this very long name from AliExpress so we're just going to shorten it down to rotating hairbrush 50% off off now ideally when you do branded Drop Shipping you want to come up with a better name this video is about branded Drop Shipping okay we're going

to get into the brand details a little bit later right now I'm just teaching you how to get started you want to come up with a catch a name and just like that the product is going to be automatically imported into your Shopify store and ready to start selling then once the product is imported through autods you can just come here in Shopify to products hit a little bit of a refresh hair and your product is going to appear now I've already done some customization to prepare for this video but you are going to click

in on the product here you're going to come up with a name for it if you scroll down here you can price it there's going to be a compare price too make sure you put that a little bit higher to give it you know some sort of sale some sort of a reason to purchase and in here you can customize your entire product you can do the the description of it a lot of things now another thing we can do before we start advertising our product and building out a store so we can once again

use a feature here on autods and this is one of the reasons why I love this platform uh we can go to the trending products so it's going to take us right in here then we can search up our product and if if we click on it it's going to send us straight into this page where we can actually see some real data on the product first of all we can see if it's currently trending and as you can see this Pro started taking off in September and it's probably going to get more and more

popular so jumping on it right now will be a good time but the thing I really like about the software so we can see where the product has the highest distribution so for example we can see that running this in Spain is going to be really hard in competitive the USA has only 6.7% of the distribution which is very low to be that country but if we scroll for example until the third page we can see that the United Kingdom sitting at 2% is actually an untapped Market So to avoid competition and make it easier

for you to start we could actually create or brand in the United Kingdom okay with less competition but a proven product as we can see the graph is going high so what I would do is I would put pounds as the currency on my website and I would sell it to British people so I'm going to go ahead and Link autods in the description they're going to offer you a 30-day trial so you can start your drop shipping business today and you can use this software to find products to check the trends of them but

more importantly you will also be using it for your sourcing and shipping out the product to your customer as a supplier the next thing we're going to do at this point so we're going to head over to online store here and we're going to do the part that can be a little bit difficult but I'm going to do my part to make it as easy as possible for you because it actually is quite simple we're going to actually start building out our store okay and shopy down here will give you the most popular themes that

are free you don't need a paid theme in this video I'm going to use the beyy it is a paid theme I personally use it on my stores cuz I just find it to be the best one but you don't need that you can go with free themes as well and I would say the dawn theme or the sense theme are the two best uh free options right now and using these is going to give you a good chance of success with your store you just got to customize it properly so once the theme is

selected just click here on customize it's going to drag you into the store and by the way this video gets more advanced as we're going so if you're watching this and you're like Henrik I know this I'm creating this to actually help people starting out too usually my channel is more advanced I'm teaching you guys how to make crazy money with Drop Shipping but I want to make this simple startup Guide to the guy who's out there confused don't know where to start don't know who they can trust seeing all this information from gurus that

is going to lead you nowhere I want to create a complete guide that can actually help beginners get started and have the best chance of success now when you get inside of the shop fight customization there's going to be a menu on the left side here which is mainly what we're going to be using here you can add sections you can come here you can add a feature product you can for example add a slideshow or you can go ahead and put a collection list which I'm going to do right now with this list you

can have for example skincare healthc Care Home Decor products or you can have your feature product like I have right here I added in something called feature product and you're also going to have the slideshow so what you can do is you can customize your store you can put a banner up here and shopy actually has a lot of free pictures you can use or you can simply go on Google and search for example skin care or hair styling whatever is relevant to your product and you can just put the banner up here now the

next thing you want to do is you want to come to canva.com you want to create a design you want to go with logo and that's going to bring you over to this side so let's say for example have a kitchen store you can go with the blueprint right here and you can call it for example kitchen store whatever your store is uh simply click on share and download your logo then you can come back on Shopify you can add the section and you can go ahead and actually upload your logo as well uh on

the top here so just fill the store with the product you're going to sell put a nice Banner on it and you're good to go this video is not tutorial on exactly how to build your store because a couple of minutes in shopy experimenting a little bit you're going to understand that easily now let's talk about what actually matters though the product page because this is where all the money is made and now we're going to go a little bit more down the Branded route so in Shopify we can just click in on the actual

product that we're going to sell and that is going to take us into the product page this is the most important part because we're going to send your customers to this page only we're going to hit mobile view up in the right corner just to make it easier to customize and as you can see I'm going with a very nice layout here super clean I think we can all agree that this website looks pretty trustworthy it has a good color scheme a good vibe it certainly doesn't feel like a scam so the layout I'm going

for is paragraph uh picture uh paragraph picture Okay so we're going with a big headline here then we're going with a gif and once again we're just going to use the left menu here to add in sections so I'm using Rich text I'm using the one that's called image with text and that's going to give us this section right here you simply just fill in your image under there you're going to have a set of text which you can customize coming right down here and we just put you know natural whatever it is um and

is going to show up just like that now this is how I want your store to look headline paragraph picture and I want it to be clean okay and I want you to study a little bit of copyrighting to type the right things because let's face it most people don't know how to actually type words that sell we're using some nice emojis we're trying to appeal to girls and we're having gift showing clearly how the product works so it's easy for the customer to scan your site no ing details just an idea in the customer's

mind of what it's going to be like owning the product cuz your customer scans the website okay they don't read all the details so keep it simple for them I also just have the add to car button I don't have too much going on here no distractions from the purchase and with to the beautify theme and most themes you can have sticky add to card so while you scroll down the add to card button is actually going to stay here you just uh change it in the widget settings and then your store is good to

go also using an app called luks reviews which you can download in the Shopify App Store then you go on the AliExpress supplier you click import to looks and reviews from Ali are going to be automatically put onto your store now the reason the Instagram real strategy is so good for product research is because of all the content you get because it's time for you to finish up your store and you saw how mine is good it has gifts it looks very trustworthy well let's say you want to sell this teapot right here which is

the one we found on Instagram what you're going to do very simple you're going to take the Tik Tok link then you're going to search on Google Tik Tock video downloader right here we're going to click in on it we're going to go ahead and take the link uh click download and we're going to get the video into our PC next thing you want to do is you want to search gift maker right here go onto this one we're going to upload our file once that's done we're going to click the blue button here then

once the video is uploaded you can find the part you want to turn into a gift so let's say second one to Second four is where we want to be a gift you simply click convert to gift and you're going to get it downloaded on your PC so what I did on this store right here is actually just search the product up on Tik Tok I downloaded a couple of different videos from my competitors then I went to the gift maker download it and put it on my website and everything looks super legit now before

we start advertising and making money let's quickly talk about the four criterias of a good store number one is the vibe and colors I want you to go for two main colors and make it line up because your store needs a personality and a story and having a good color scheme is going to make you seem so much more branded than you actually are secondly we need user generated content show the product in action don't use AliExpress photos on your s download videos from Tik Tok download things from reals and have real people on your

site that is going to make you seem so much more branded already from the start the third thing you need is good copyrighting a number for reviews use apps like Luke's reviews to gain trust but what is most important is your product page and learning copyrighting is going to be important don't make your store boring and be creative here simply just copy other stores and switch up a few things if you are stuck as well because as you can see on the Tik Tok stores they actually have a link in BIO so we can just

go to their store take some inspiration from the text make it easy and finish up our store it really doesn't have to be that difficult just maybe try to do something different to stand out a little bit don't just fully copy someone now with all of that out of the way we are approaching stage three advertising and actually making money for your store now there's a couple of things to know Facebook is by far the best advertising platform Tik Tok works too but nothing beats Facebook it's going to be the most long-term too and you

need the following things the pixel must be installed you need to have a way to pay for your ads you can use any type of card or PayPal and you need good video ad content to install the Facebook pixel just come down to online store here on Shopify hit preferences scroll down a little bit and you're going to encounter set up Facebook simply just click the button log in and follow the setup and your pixel will be connected to Facebook so there is no worry at all so with all of that out of the way

before we start advertising let's create your viral video ad and learning this is so important because this is what's going to determine whether or not people actually click in on your website and give it a chance so to do this what I like to do is to to come over to reals or to Tik Tok I like to search up my product and just go ahead and download a couple of different videos then I have an editing software called Premier Pro um you could use cap cut it's actually going to be easier as well if

you don't know editing use cap cut it's super easy you take a couple of your Clips you add them into your project and what you can do now is you can put some text over for example like I am obsessed something like that you know we have user generated content stuff that actually fits into the feed we need to come up with strong hooks okay like point of view drinking tea just became 10 times easier for something like prepare your tea in 10 seconds you basically just want to take some different videos mix it into

your own so you can for example take a little clip from this one right here then we can shorten this one down we can mix it it's just very basic video cutting I'm not going to make a full guide on this here because this is a video on how to start Drop Shipping doing this yourself will save you a lot of money and it is better than paying most agencies out there but if you don't want to bother you can also find someone on Fiverr who is experienced making ads for Drop Shipping and he probably

going to give you a cheap deal if you just want to start as fast as possible but download the cap cut app start mixing a couple of variations together I recommend you have around three video ads at least when you start ideally even like six8 to 10 videos it's going to increase your chances and go on Tik Tok and watch your competitors to get inspiration this one for example is amazing as it shows the product in action instantly it's kind of satisfying to see this and it's really a scroll stopper making you think wow what

is this thing they're hook cooking you in right here and then they start showing how the product actually works so if you feel like you are not creative you can Outsource it but you can also come on Tik Tok here and see how other people are making their video ads and kind of just copy it and make your own so with all of this out of the way you have a product you like you have it imported to your store you have your website ready you know how to make video ads it's time for you

to start advertising your product and actually making money now for this we're going to use Facebook ads and if you are experienced you're going to know exactly what this means but if you are not I totally understand your clueless so I'm going to help you set up your first ad campaign right now but if you know what I'm talking about simply just screenshot this here I'm going for a $60 a day CBO three ad sets three different video ads in each everything completely Brad and this strategy usually makes me a lot of money already from

testing at this point you have your Facebook pixel installed you are going to navigate to ads manager just search on Google Facebook ads manager and click the first link we're going to be inside of here and I know it's going to be confusing I have a full guide on how to run Facebook ads okay it's really good it's in fact the best on YouTube okay so follow that one but you're going to come up here to create you're going to go for sales always that is your goal then when they ask you this go for

manual sales campaign once you're inside of here you can maybe name the campaign uh your product name and then you scroll down here I want you to put on Advantage campaign budget we're going to put it to $60 a day if you are on a brand new ad account just start at 30 we gradually up cuz Facebook actually shut down new accounts that spend too fast and make sure Advantage catalog here is turned off okay simply navigate to the next page right here then you're going to come into something called the adset this is basically

your audience you want to scroll down here select your pixel and for the conversion event we're going to go ahead and use purchase you can ignore the error as well for the schedule we're going to start it at midnight that is always going to be the best approach or actually 6:00 a.m. is even better if that's when your audience wakes up then you're going to scroll down here for the countries I recommend you to go with one country only for example the UK going with the US is very competitive but if you want to keep

your site in English you can go with UK you can go to Australia or you can do this weird setup I'm using but it is a bit risky UK Canada New Zealand Australia US and Germany but easiest is going to be to go for one country only so for example the UK and that's literally it you don't need to touch any of this we're going completely broad we can actually navigate to the next page Facebook is then going to take us to the next page which is where we're going to be uploading our video select

manual upload here scroll down a little bit and go ahead and upload your media right here then just follow all the steps and spam next and your video preview is actually going to play here by the way this is a very good example of a video ad um it shows the product in action clearly it's also authentic genuine it actually is just the person making a testimonial for it and showing how it works it's a very good product too that I've been selling come down here to the primary text put in something like new year

new me it's time to get back in shape talk a little bit about the product quickly and put your offer at the end for example buy one get one free or 25% off sale is currently live okay very simple then you're going to switch the call to action button here uh you're going to switch it to shop now and then at the bottom we're going to scroll down and put in your website URL link and you are good to go once that's done you're going to duplicate your adset two times you just come up here

click duplicate and in total we're going to have three adsets you can see we have one video under each you can actually just go ahead and duplicate your videos multiple times you should have two videos under each ad set so we can duplicate this we can add all our videos I have a full Facebook ad guide I want you to watch after this it's very detailed teaches you everything so I'm not going to go too much more advanced into this but once that is done you're going to have three adsets just like it says here

and inside of the adets you're going to have your different videos so with that in place maybe this makes a little bit more sense otherwise just watch the Facebook ads guide and you'll be good to go to make thousands of dollars Drop Shipping we're going with a campaign with three adsets we're scheduling them to midnight for example it's not that important the event we go for is purchase the audience is Broad placements is Advantage Plus that means Broad you're not touching anything everything is just like I told you Facebook ads when you test is actually

very simple now let's talk about what makes a successful campaign when advertising first of all you need a good product okay because a good ad will never sell a bad product and this is where all drop shippers go wrong like we talked about in the intro most are selling things that doesn't actually add value to someone's life if you solve a problem you will make money number two you're creative this is your video ad this is the most important thing on Facebook if your content is bad people are not going to click the third one

is your marketing angle your approach okay which kind of is the same as number four your audience who should you target you need a clear idea of this from the start is your audience for example older people well make your video ads towards them is it people in a relationship make your video ads towards that you need an audience Avatar before you start because if you go too broad without an idea you're not going to make money so with all of this out of the way you are now ready to launch your first Drop Shipping

Store with Facebook ads and already tomorrow you could actually be making sales the strategy I'm teaching you with Facebook is really good and it has worked for all of my students and before we continue I wanted to let you know that I have a mentorship program for Drop Shipping where the results has been absolutely amazing we've had people quit their job we've had people make 100K their first month the methods I teach inside of the mentorship program is so good that if you listen to what I'm saying you're pretty much guaranteed to succeed with the

business as well so if you want to learn Drop Shipping from me personally who's done this for six years at this point you can send me a message on Instagram right here so technically that's how you start Drop Shipping in 2025 but let's talk about the Branded aspect now once your product is making sales I want you to reach out to influencers to create custom content for your product that's going to give you so much more trust and also having a branded feel on your website these are simple things like just developing a good color

scheme having real people on your video send it to a couple of people that look good make them take maybe a testimonial for it put them on your website have real people as reviews not just the AliExpress ones and also put the logo on your package which I'm going to show you right now having all of these things in place is going to give you a branded store and then after that it's time you grow your social media a brand needs a good social media presence you need followers on it you need a lot of

posts and you need to show that you are legit okay so bringing influencers on is going to be a genius move you could find people with low amount of followers too just to give you that trust so once you find a pro that's selling start a social media for it as well so that you can start growing the brand because this is a long-term thing so let me show you how to put your own logo on the packages of your products we're going to use autods again we're going to head down to settings right here

once you're inside the settings you're going to navigate here over to where it's says Store settings you're going to scroll down and you're literally going to just upload your logo and that's it okay now there's one more thing that's important though when shipping out branded looking packages and that is that the product can actually be sourced by autod DS you come over here to supplier you select autod DS suppliers right here and then we can once again search for example hair curler whatever our product is and all the products that's going to appear here will

actually be sourced by autods so that means that if we have that product connected with our store when we ship it out we're going to have our logo on the package and see branded it's literally that simple now with all of this information you should feel confident starting your own Drop Shipping brand in 2025 please remember to hit the Subscribe button and click a like on this video If you enjoyed it because I've been recording for hours I spent so long making this video for you and I really hope it helped you I wanted to
