So for that, you can see sometimes we are watching TikToks and we find these TikToks
1:22
where we find these amazing products that are actually really cool, these gadgets that we can go for

Now, this is actually a really cool gadget. And if I look on this TikTok, I'll be like, oh, okay, this is really cool
2:17
And here we have these glass washer. This is actually the name of the product
2:21
Okay. Now I know the name of this product. What I will do is, first we can actually do our product search
2:28
So we'll go to AliX. because Ali Express provides us the Chinese-based product that are pretty cheap and we'll be able to make a lot of profit
2:36
We can buy this product for maybe incense and sell this for a higher price So what we will do is we just search for a glass washer and we search for it And there you go This is the first product that I see
2:52
A lot of different, you know, suppliers are providing this product. And this product is actually for
2:58
pretty cheap. This is the product that we just saw. And this one is actually available for $8 to $9
3:06

3:13
dollars two dollars okay and we have different suppliers so what you do is you find the product from here

3:36
For instance, you can go for maybe phone cases, you can go for stickers, you can go for these cool gadgets, anything that you like
3:47
So once you have the product, now you need to get started with your online store. So you can go to Shopify.com and as a complete beginner, you'll be able to get a free trial here
3:56
And this is one of the easiest and the most famous dropshipping platform. Go to Shopify.com and all you need to do is just enter your email address
4:04
After that, it will take you right here. So let me actually show you how to create a store
4:09
This is the first step. Let's get started, which of these best describes you
4:13
So I'm just going to click on. I'm just starting. And then next. And then we have, where would you like to sell
4:19
We want to create an online store. We have social media here too
4:23
So social media. Reach customers through Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. So you're going to select this one as well because we will be
4:30
Now, TikTok doesn't support a store online. like Facebook or Instagram, right
4:36
They have their shops. TikTok doesn't. But we will be actually reaching our customers through TikTok
4:41
You need to select this one as well. Click on next. Okay, which social channel do you want to sell on
4:47
We need to sell on TikTok. Then next. Okay, what do you plan to do
4:52
Products I buy or make myself or drop shipping. So we will be doing drop shipping sourced and shipped by a third pearl
5:01
Now click on next. After that, you just have to give you a store a name for now I'm just going to call it a test store and click on next then we're
5:11
going to select our region click on next and our online store will be created so here we have
5:17
our own store so this is how you get started with your own drop shipping store for free with a free trial on Shopify Shopify is actually really easy to do Now you can see we have a Shopify store
5:31
This is my main admin. And this is our online store on Shopify. So you can visit your online store here and you can customize your page
5:38
There's a lot of things to do here. There are already videos on this channel about Shopify on a lot of videos on how to create a page
5:46
how to customize a website, how to get started, everything. So we are here and we're actually focusing on TikTok dropshipping
5:54
So what we will do is, first of all, we need to connect our Shopify with TikTok and we can do that
6:00
So what we do is we can actually go to the ad apps here. And we have a, you know, Shopify app store
6:07
So I'm just going to open it up. All right. So here I'm going to search for TikTok
6:11
So we will search for a TikTok in the search part and you can see we have our results
6:16
TikTok showcase your products to TikTok's billions of users. Now keep in mind, we're actually creating a store on Shopify, but we'll be able to showcase the products
6:25
So, this is the app right here. You're going to select it free to install. This one is completely free, which is good, and it has 4.7 rating
6:33
Now, what you will do is you'll click on install here. It depends on your country as well
6:38
And you can see, create a TikTok video ads, track results, and manage your orders
6:44
The TikTok app on Shopify makes it easy to get your business in front of billions of highly engaged
6:50
customers. So this is the step here. Install the TikTok pixel in one click to measure the performance
6:56
build TikTok style videos, so you will actually need to then create TikToks for the product that you
7:02
select and the product that you have created. Sync your products from Shopify to TikTok to create
7:07
high performing ads and we will create ads as well. So once you connect your TikTok to your Shopify
7:13
it will be added here. Now the next step is creating the product on Shopify. So you can see we have the
7:19
product section here. So we're going to go to the products and click on add your product
7:24
We can also import the products from any of the drop shipping of suppliers. So for me, I'll be
7:30
using Ali Express. You can even use Amazon and connect Amazon to your Shopify and more
7:36
So for Ali Express again, you will actually have to, you can connect your Ali Express to Shopify
7:42
the same way we connected TikTok. You can go to the TikTok, oh sorry, Shopify App Store and you're
7:47
going to search for Ali Express and connected or you can create manual products
7:52
When it comes to manual product, that means that what I will do is I'll first
7:57
we can actually do two things here. You can order the product first yourself and then you will create the TikToks yourself or sometimes the videos are given with the product that we have selected For instance we have this here and I will open it up We will get all the information from the
8:15
supplier here. Okay, so the video is, you know, we have a video. So I'm just going to play it
8:20
to see what kind of video we have. All right. So you can see we do have a video that I can download
8:27
and, you know, convert it into a TikTok type of video. So this is a video of a video of
8:33
or the product demonstration. So this is the video here that we need to convert into a TikTok style
8:40
That means we need to create a mobile video. Okay, perfect. And then we have some of the images
8:45
What we will do is we'll get the video that we can upload to a Shopify as well where we upload the media
8:51
We can add videos and images. Product name is going to be this here
8:57
Kitchen, sink, glass, rinser, stainless steel. So you need to kind of like use all of these
9:03
keywords this is important then we have to use the description so the description will be found here
9:10
as well you can scroll down to even copy and paste the description to your shopify because we're
9:15
doing the drop shopping so once you do that you're going to go to the pricing because this product
9:20
is let's say five dollars then i will be selling this run for 10 or if this product is two dollars
9:27
then i'll be selling it for 10 so this is how we make our profit once the product is listed on
9:33
Shopify. Here, this is actually very easy that you enter the title, description, the media
9:38
just how you add any product on Shopify. Click on save and your product will be added
9:43
So once the product is added, now you can go back to TikTok. And on TikTok, what you will do is you will simply create TikTok ads
9:52
This is the way to kind of like boost your engagement or you can create a TikTok profile
9:57
and start posting your TikToks. And you can then create ads with those TikTok creates
10:03
Getting ads on TikTok is actually really easy. You can just go to TikTok.com slash ads and you can create a business profile and you can create ads for TikTok
10:13
And this way you'll be able to engage your millions of users that are on TikTok
10:18
And these customers are actually very active. TikTok is a very active platform
10:23
That is why this is one of the platforms that you should go for when it comes to creating your online business and creating your drop shipping store
10:32
So yeah, guys, these are the steps that you need to do in order to start TikTok dropshipping from the scratch
