Easiest Way To Start Dropshipping In 2024 (FOR BEGINNERS)

After much procrastination, you've finally decided to learn how to drop ship. Good. Let me show you the way. You might feel overwhelmed by the 10,000 videos out there, but you've made the right choice by clicking on this article. I will show you the easiest, fastest, cheapest, and best way to start dropshipping in 2024.

Why Should You Listen to Me?

To demonstrate my credibility, let me pull out my receipts:

  • Store 1: Made impressive gains.
  • Store 2: Another successful venture.
  • Store 3: Continues to perform well.

I've documented my entire journey since 2022 on YouTube. This article aims to clear all your confusion, share everything I've learned, and give you the tools to start dropshipping today.

What is Dropshipping?

In simple terms:

  1. Find a product on AliExpress sold at a low price.
  2. Create a website and list the product at a higher price.
  3. Drive traffic to your website and wait for customers to purchase.
  4. Once a sale is made, purchase the product on AliExpress using the customer's details.
  5. The supplier on AliExpress ships the product directly to the customer.

This process has become easier with AI and the concept of organic dropshipping, which doesn't require money for advertising.

Building a Shopify Store

In the old method, creating a store might take 5 to 10 hours for beginners. Today, it's easier and faster. Follow the steps below:

  1. Create Your Store:

    • Scroll down to the description of my video and click the first link labeled "build your store."
    • Fill in your details and select your niche (or skip this if unsure).
    • Create a Shopify account using the link provided. Shopify offers a free 3-day trial, followed by a low-cost monthly plan.

  2. Configure Your Store:

    • Edit your store as necessary to fit your niche and product preferences.

  3. Final Adjustments:

    • Make sure everything—buy options, order tracking, contact information—is set up properly.

Finding Your First Winning Product

Contrary to some advice, not all winning products solve a problem. Here are my criteria:

  1. Wow Factor: Essential for going viral on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
  2. Value to the Customer: The product should offer fun, convenience, or status.

Utilizing AutoDS for Product Research

  2. Post videos about your product.
  3. Aim to go viral by mimicking successful competitors.
