I have to provide you with. So without further ado, let's get straight into it
0:33
So first of all, without anything done, let's go straight to Shopify
0:38
Now, this is Shopify, Shopify.com. If you don't know Shopify, Shopify, Shopify is the top most leading e-commerce software
0:46

0:57
click on start free trial now once you click on start free trial what's going to happen is that
1:04
it's going to bring you over here let's get started which of these best describes you so you can go with

1:24
skip this if you want to that's totally upon you but i would say that you you do fill these in just to you know optimize your store much better so where would you like to sell
1:34
pick as many as you like you can always change these later we will make sure you're set up to
1:40
sell in these places so you can choose online store a blog online marketplaces like this is i guess
1:48
for your affiliations this is social media marketing in person you can't choose any of these
1:54
if you like i'm just going to choose all these four i'm going to click on next which social channels do you want to sell on you can choose instagram tic-tok or you can use
2:03
pinterest facebook other whatever you want and then just click on next which online marketplaces do you
2:09
want to sell on you can choose amazon i just prefer amazon and ebay because these are the best places
2:14
to sell and then once you've done that what would you like to name your store you can choose any random
2:19
name i'm just going to choose this for now as it's probably not taken i'm going to click on next
2:24
where will your business located to be you're going to choose your country, then you're going to click on next. Now, once you click on next, what's going to happen
2:32
is over here, it's going to ask you to create a Shopify ID for yourself. So we're going to do
2:37
just that, and we're going to continue. You can either continue with your Gmail or you can continue
2:42
with any email of yours. So I'm just going to continue with one of my emails and be right back
2:47
Now, once you're done with adding your emails and all the what-nots, it's going to get you straight
2:51
into building your store. Now, it takes a bit to load up, so we're just going to wait for it to
2:56
properly load us up and once it's loaded us up what it's going to do is it's going to give us a few
3:02
list of questions like four to five questions which are purely going to be the purpose like they're
3:07
going to hold a purpose to ask us like these little optimizations and things about our store because
3:13
basically we need to fill them in and we need to let them know what our store is going to be about
3:18
and purely our store is going to be related to drop shipping so just make sure to enter everything
3:24
related to drop shipping so once you're over here here we can see you can do those questions
3:30
right here under the set of guide where there's to add your first product and everything you can
3:35
complete this set up guide and yeah before getting in do know this that this is just the free trial
3:42
this will end in like five to six days so if you actually want to you know be a proper Shopify drop shipping
3:51
person. You're going to go on plans and over here you're going to get a few three different plans
3:57
Now, you're at least going to need the basic plan to do proper drop shipping on Shopify
4:03
If it's not at least the basic plan, you won't be able to do a lot of things like you won't be
4:09
able to set up your payments or anything like that. So at least have a basic plan
4:15
You can also go with the Shopify and advanced plan with just $44 and $266 per month, respectively
4:21
But obviously these can feature up to five to 15 staff members
4:25
I would just recommend the basic one if you're just a solopreneur. But yeah, now that we have gotten that out of the way, let's discuss more on what happens now
4:34
Now, basically, you have created your very own Shopify store. Now let's discuss about CJ drop shipping
4:42
Yes. Now, if you don't know what drop shipping is, drop shipping is basically it's a way of shipping worldwide to worldwide
4:51
Like you're going to be the drop shipper. You're going to take the product from the retailer
4:55
You're going to sell it to someone by showing it on your own store. And yeah, that's basically it
5:01
You're not going to have the product on yourself, but some retailer will have it
5:04
But you're going to sell it for that retailer. But in easier words, let me just show you
5:09
Let me just show you what it really means and how it really works
5:14
So now, as you can see, all these products down here, they're just like your products on eBay or Amazon
5:20
Okay, it looks exactly like that. So what's going to happen is we're going to sign ourselves up with CJ dropshipping
5:27
We're going to create ourselves an account. Once we've done that, we're going to link our C2 dropshipping account to our Shopify account
5:34
And once we have done that, that is where the magic will start happening
5:37
So just keep watching this. Trust me, this video will get a whole lot more interesting
5:43
So first of all, let's go ahead and register ourselves with our CJ drop shipping account
5:48
So to register you just going to go on a register as I did in the top right Over here you going to enter your email that you want to sign up with now once you do that you going to enter a strong password and we just going to confirm the
6:02
password now once you've set up good passwords you can put in a referral code it's totally optional
6:07
but i'm just not going to do that and i'm going to click on next now once you click on next it's
6:12
going to ask you for your username and whatnot i'm just going to enter something random then you're
6:17
going to enter your name if you're like doing drop shipping and you're very serious
6:21
I just recommend entering your correct name. Once you've done that, you're just going to click on Confirm
6:27
Now, once you do that, what's going to happen is it's going to register you successfully and ask you these questions
6:32
User questionnaire. Which platform are you running your store on now? So you have multiple choices over here
6:39
So you can choose any of them if you want to. But for now, we're just going to choose Shopify
6:44
How many orders do you need to process per day? Now, obviously, that depends on as many drop shippings as you want
6:50
shipings as you want. Now, don't do it according to what your status is right now, because obviously
6:56
it's going to be zero for now. You can choose any of these, like do your expected drop shipping
7:02
order. So you can go with 50 till 200 per day. Which categories or what categories of products do
7:08
you mainly market? Now, this is also an important one. Like, choose this wisely because according to
7:14
this, you're going to get the products on the CJ drop shipping store. So you can go with men's clothing
7:20
sports and outdoors. You can go with jewelry and watches, bags and shoes
7:24
And yeah, that's it. And you're going to click on Submit. Now, once you do that, according to this
7:29
they're going to basically optimize your Ced Drop Shipping store. So if you were to come down
7:35
we can see that we're going to get products according to the things we chose
7:39
So they also have their very own help bot that you can ask help from
7:44
So it's pretty easy, pretty basic stuff. Now, once you have set yourself up properly
7:49
What we're going to do now is we're going to connect to our Shopify, obviously
7:54
Now, do know this, that there are two ways of connecting to Shopify
7:58
You can either do it directly from Shopify, and how is that? You're going to come here to this left-hand section bar over here
8:05
You're going to go on ad apps. Now, once you click on ad apps, they're going to come here where they're going to say all these different things, this, this
8:13
You're going to see CJ drop shipping over here, and you're just going to click on ad
8:17
Now, let's say for some reason you don't see CJ dropshipping over here
8:21
You can just come up here, write, find more apps in the Shopify App Store. Now, once you click on that, what that is going to do is it's going to redirect you straight to the Shopify App Store
8:30
And in the Shopify App Store, you're going to find CJ dropshipping
8:34
Now, again, it's going to come up right here. But for some reason, again, it doesn't come up right here
8:39
You can just come here in the search bar. You're going to write CJ dropshipping
8:43
You're going to click on search. And once you click on search, it's going to come right on
8:47
the top so we're just gonna come here now for some reason again if it doesn't come then the
8:52
issue might be in your region or something related to your account you can then just contact the
8:58
shopify people but it should come it should definitely come so we're just going to come here and we're
9:04
going to click on add app now once you click on add app what's what that's going to do is it's going to
9:09
ask you to obviously install the app and the other whatnot and from here on out what's going to happen is it's
9:16
going to ask you to enter your seizure drop shipping username and yeah that's just going to directly
9:22
connect it now the other way to integrate your cj drop shipping with your shopify which is in my
9:29
opinion the easier way is by cj drop shipping now over here what you're going to do is you're
9:34
going to come up here on my cj we're going to click on it now once you click on my cj what's
9:38
going to happen is you're going to come to this huge dashboard which is basically related to your
9:44
whole CJ drop shipping workings and whatnot. So we're just going to wait for it to load up
9:49
Now once your CJ, my CJ page loads up, basically. What you're going to do is you're going to
9:54
scroll down here where it says store authorization. And once you do that, you're going to come up here
9:59
and from all these stores in the top, you're going to find Shopify. So all you need to do is you're
10:05
going to click on Shopify. What that's going to do is over here. It says you haven't authorized any
10:09
stores yet. So what you're going to do is you're going to go on ad store. And once you're going to
10:14
going to click on Ad Store, you're going to click on Authorize down here. Now, once you click
10:18
on Authorize, what it's going to do is here you can see. It redirects you straight back to the Shopify
10:23
App Store. You're going to click on Ad App. And what this is going to do is it's going to take you
10:29
to the installation screen that I showed you on your Shopify. So here we are. We're going to click
10:34
on Install App, and we're just going to wait for it to load up. So once it loads up, here it says
10:41
Welcome to CJ. So great, your account is authorized. You're going to do that and then you're just going to click on this
10:49
And once you do that, what's going to happen? So once you get through all that, your store is going to be properly authorized
10:56
And here it says authorization success. Now, once your authorization is done, from here on out, you're going to go to your CJ dropshipping main store
11:05
And from here, you can start doing your drop shipping work. So to get started, first of all, what we're going to do is obviously we're going to come here
11:13
we're going to see our products. Now, in our products, we can see we don't really have any products
11:18
So what we're going to do is we're going to go to our CT dropshipping and we're going to change that
11:22
So let's go ahead and start drop shipping some products or like importing some products to our Shopify store
11:30
So first of all, let's discuss what products to actually import and drop ship
11:36
Make sure to drop ship products that are actually, you know, in nowadays, like many people are buying them
11:42
So to cross that you can go check on Amazon or you can go and check on maybe eBay You can also check on Google Trends If you don know what that is Google Trans is basically this great application by Google that basically allows you to see like
12:01
what thing is being searched most nowadays. So you can go on eBay, you can go on Amazon
12:06
you can go on Alibaba, and you can check whatever product is being bought more nowadays
12:11
So as we can see this silicone grip device, a lot of people are buying this nowadays
12:18
So let's say you're interested in drop shipping this. Now, to do that, all you're going to do is you're going to click on list
12:25
Now, once you click on list, what's going to happen is it's going to take you to the silicone page
12:31
And over here, it's going to ask you to properly list it on your store
12:35
Now, the great thing about seizure drop shipping is that when you ask it to list
12:40
what it's going to do is it's going to list the variants and their descriptions and their photos with it onto your store
12:48
So you don't really have to go through all the mess of doing all the variants and descriptions by yourself
12:54
So what you're going to do is you're going to choose the store. You can charge tax for your shipments if you want to
13:00
I recommend not doing that. If it's like your first 10 or 50 drop shippings, don't do that way early
13:07
But yeah, once you do that over here, you're going to choose the product. You're going to add the product type
13:12
Like it could be just right grip device. Just put in that
13:17
You're going to click on confirm. And then you can choose its collection once you've done that you're gonna add a vendor
13:23
You can just add your name as your vendor You're gonna click on confirm and once you do that over here ship my order to now
13:32
This can obviously be like whichever country you're planning on drop shipping in
13:37
Mostly I just prefer United States and then you're gonna choose your shipping method now your shipping method could be whatever
13:45
I just recommend either DHL USBs or the CJ packet ordinary. Now obviously, according with every transporter you change, it's going to basically change
13:57
the days or the cost for you. Like if you were to do CJ Express HKDL, it's going to deliver in 7 to 12 days and the shipping
14:06
cost will be $42. But if you were to deliver through USBs, it's going to take eight days, but the price is lower
14:13
But let's say you were to do, I think DHL does it quickly
14:18
So four to 12 days and in 27. So it totally depends on you
14:23
I just recommend doing it on CJPacket Ordinary, which is seven days
14:27
The lease price comes in this. So once you do all of this, you're obviously going to set your price in PKR
14:33
So just set whatever currency. And just make sure to set it around all of this
14:39
I'm just adding random prices. Please don't actually add this much price
14:43
So once you've done with all this, you're just going to click unlisted now
14:47
And once you click on listed now, what that's going to do is it's going to start listing these products into your Shopify store
14:54
Now, it totally depends on however big your product is. By big, I mean like however huge the variants are or however huge the descriptions are
15:05
So once it's done, we're going to go ahead and check it in our Shopify store
15:10
So in our Shopify store, we're going to come down to products. And look at that silicone grip device, 27,000
15:17
in stock for four variants. This is the type. This is the vendor. We can see that the status is
15:23
activated and we're going to go ahead and click on it and check if everything is actually there
15:29
If it's not there, you can report the product, but here we can see it's actually there
15:35
And look at that. We can see the whole description with the overview. There's the moving images
15:40
product information, and everything. We can see everything is over here. And then if we come down here
15:46
we can see all the media that comes with it we can see its tags and we can see the different
15:52
variants that come with it so if we like what we see we're just going to go back and i'm going to
15:58
expand more on how you can use these or export these to your shopify store so if you come back
16:05
shop to see j drop shipping if you want to import more products it's the same way you're just
16:11
going to go to the product if you like what you see you're going to click on list and once you
16:14
click on list, you're going to come to the whole list and store or description page
16:21
And once you're on the description page, it's going to give you this prompt
16:25
You're going to choose the store, choose the warehouse. You can add collection if you want to, choose the type
16:32
And then once you've done that, you're going to choose your price. Choose your shipping method
16:37
I'm just going to choose my price real quick. So let me do that
16:41
Just make sure to add the correct prices. So there we are. I'm gonna add one down here. Please too bear with me. These are a lot
16:48
You can also change it in the bulk section. So if you change it in the bulk section, it's gonna change for all the
16:56
pricings. So once you're done with all of that, what's gonna happen? You're just gonna click on okay. And
17:03
once you've done all of that, you're just gonna go ahead and you're gonna go and click on listed now. Now once you
17:09
click on listed now again, it's gonna start your listing in progress and
17:13
We're just going to wait. Now, as I said, some products have tons and tons of variants
17:18
So if it does have a tons of variance, it will take quite some time to load up
17:24
Please do make sure to bear with it. So while it's loading up, what we're going to do is we're going to talk about how you can, like, if I go in products
17:34
we're going to talk about how you can put this product into a Shopify store of yours
17:38
So to put it into your Shopify store where you're going to need to do is obviously you're going to need to know how you're on
17:43
online store actually works So we gonna come here into our online store section Now once you come here to your online store section what going to happen is obviously here is where you work out your themes Now this is obviously a totally different thing you can work around with
17:58
Like, if you want to change your themes, all you need to do is you're just going to go on learn more about themes or visit the theme store
18:04
And you can download all these different types of themes that Shopify brings you with
18:09
I'm just going to use the Don theme, which is the default theme that Shopify provides you with
18:13
So now that we're here, What we're going to do is we're going to go and we're going to click on
18:19
Now, you can either add it using code if you do know how to code like the HTML and CSS code
18:25
But we're just going to go ahead and we're going to click on customize. Now, once you click on customize, what's going to happen is it's going to open the store for you
18:33
And over here, look at that. Talk about your brand. And these are our featured products
18:38
Now, obviously, you can change their positioning if you want to. Like, look at that
18:42
If you hover over it, it's going to seem like that. Now let's say you want to change the settings. So what I'm gonna do is wait, let me just backspace. There we are
18:52
You're gonna go on Featured collection and once you go on Featured collection what you can do is you can start your editing over here like you can click here like
19:02
New Rivals and then you can obviously make the heading large if you want to like that and then you can also give it a description the description will appear right under here
19:14
like these new products are were on sale for the first 5,000 customers
19:25
Like you can add that and obviously, you know, start adding things that will make it look much more attractive
19:30
You can show the collection description from the admin which is gonna be you
19:35
or you can just choose to hide it if you want gonna. I'll choose to hide it for now
19:39
You can also make the description style. It could be subtitle, it could be all uppercases
19:44
All depends on. you and then obviously here comes the maximum products to show you can choose however many products
19:51
you want right right now i only have to if i switch this to one or four it's obviously going to
19:57
decrease the size you can also change the background color scheme let's say uh yeah i prefer that
20:03
much more than what it was before you can change it to that then you can change the padding the padding
20:09
is basically however you know the space around the product box and then obviously you can go in theme settings and you can mess around with the styling
20:21
So to mess around with the styling, you can change it from standard to card and again, mess around
20:26
with the background schemes if you want to and much, much more. So once you've done all that
20:31
you're just going to click on save. Obviously, you can edit more if you want to or you can also
20:36
change themes and use code to make your store look much more attractive and better. But yeah
20:42
that was just a basic overview of all the things you can do so once you've done that you're gonna go
20:47
on view your online store now to view your store you're gonna come here you're just gonna click on
20:51
that view your online store and once you do that you're gonna come here and here you can see
20:55
near arrivals these new products are on sale for the first 5,000 customers and look at that
21:00
if you hover over it you can get all these images you can get the name for this so let's say I'm
21:05
gonna click on this once you click on that look at this you're gonna get all the media
21:10
all the images and you're going to get all the different colors like look at that black zone red zone
21:16
and all the what-nots now imagine doing this from scratch that would be crazy but this is why
21:22
cj drop shipping is amazing it already does all the essentials for you that come in your store now
21:29
obviously here is the main overview with the description here's the product info with all the
21:35
sizes and the other things now obviously some things might be out of place so you can edit them just by
21:40
going in the description, but this is way easier work than adding this all by scratch, totally by yourself
21:47
So you can come here, you can see all the materials, shipping and returns
21:51
You can also see all the different variants. Like in these variants, you can get all these different sizes
21:57
And obviously with every size, they're gonna change the price. So all the person has to do then, this is going by it now
22:03
Obviously, as I said, if it's on free trial, you won't be making money or taking orders
22:07
So that's why I gave this error. But yeah, that was, just a basic overview of how everything is going to look I can also show you the grip
22:14
device if you were to come here so yeah look at that look at all of this look at how cool
22:20
and amazing that looks so there's the whole overview here are its variants you can change its
22:25
quantity if you want to and then if you come down here more images and much much more so yeah
22:33
that's basically and this is this is how simple and easy it is like all you need to do to
22:39
make money doing drop shipping is just sit at your home drop ship products or import products from
22:45
CJ drop shipping into your Shopify store just the only like hard work you need to do is just
22:52
creating a good attractive store and doing a bit marketing but that's it all these products
22:58
you're going to get it from some other store and then when someone buys these you're going to make
23:02
a good amount of profit or retail price off of these so how cool drop shipping is and how
23:09
how easy it is to make money doing it. Like you're just making money by sitting in your bed
23:13
