Hi guys

If you want to learn how to do product research for your e-commerce website or drop-shipping website
0:07
this tutorial is for you. Doing your product research for your e-commerce business, start with having an idea
0:13
You need to have an idea about products that are appealing to you and that you would want to sell
0:19
and you go ahead to do your research to determine if those products are marketable
0:25
if those products have good demand and if they are marketable. You could totally do your product research online and that's what this tutorial is about
0:35
When you're searching for product, you would find a lot of products
0:40
For example, you'll find kids toys. You'll see some nice kid toys, but how do you know if this good looking kid toy is even marketable
0:48
if there's money to be made selling that product. And you see a lot of varieties
0:54
You'd also see grooming products, different type of products. You even find print on demand products where you just print stuff and ship them out
1:05
And there are a lot of products. But how do you know? How do you know
1:10
How? But that product is marketable and that product is worth, you know, is what effort
1:16
And that is what product research is about for you to get data to determine that those products is marketable and get insight
1:28
about those products. That's what product research is about. And that's what this article is about
1:33
It's also about having a strategy. Your store, your approach, your shipping, everything adds towards
1:40
trying to sell a product. And you want to get the right to get people to add your products to their
1:46
cart. So you want to have a good product and a good strategy that gets people to purchase
1:51
to actually purchase your product and add it to your car when you get to your e-commerce store
1:56
So on TikTok, you can get different product idea for your product research
2:01
The key thing is to like, like photos on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook
2:06
That way, this social media platform will show you more products, more product posts, out to cart
2:14
Art to cart is very important on social media platforms. You don't need to go ahead and purchase, no
2:19
But when you add to cart, those social media platforms will keep recommending and showing you posts and product that people are actually
2:26
purchasing. Then you go to eBay and find out reviews about this product. You got Amazon and see
2:33
reviews about the product ideas that you have You got Al Esprice and see reviews and also take note of the cost how much this product is selling across this platform So basically on this social media network the more you like products the more the social media platform refers to more product
2:52
And the more you add to cart, they show you more product like that, which other people are adding to card
2:57
So get this right, let's go to TikTok and test this product research strategy
3:01
You can definitely do this on other social media platform like Facebook and Instagram
3:05
I want to show you how you can get this done on TikTok. So here we are on TikTok
3:11
You go hashtag TikTok, make me buy these hashtag TikTok Best Buy
3:16
Once you're on this sort of hashtags, you will see a lot of products
3:22
Okay. So you keep scrolling. Once you see a product that catches your fancy
3:26
you click on it and take a closer look. Chances are if your product makes you stop and click on it
3:31
it also has a similar effect on other people. so you click on it if it catches your fancy and then you look at it now this product looks cool
3:41
but let's look at the comment the comments don't look nice i'd rather my water come out straight
3:46
away yeah cool but i don't got time for waiting that long the comments aren't really nice
3:51
so we skip this and we keep searching to see if we can find other products okay and once you're
3:58
searching this um hashtags ticot made me buy it via product and ticot and stuff like that you'll see
4:04
product recommendation. Now, like. Once you click a product, like, like, like, comment
4:11
I can't say this enough. Engage with that post. Because the more you engage with the post
4:16
the more TikTok and this platform will keep showing you post like that
4:20
product posts like that. Then look at the comments. Are this comment good
4:25
Are the positive comments? Yes, this product looks like it has some pretty nice comments
4:29
So it's a cool product. So look at the comment, read the comments
4:33
about the product and see how people react to that product. Okay, let's go to the creator's page
4:39
Is there a link to the store? The person posting this product, do they sell it
4:43
Did they retail it on their own website? This creator doesn't have a link there
4:47
So let's keep searching. We'll see other products as well. So we're searching on TikTok
4:54
Let's see. If you see a product that makes, you know, that we like, we'll pass and we check it out
5:01
and we read through the comments and we, you know, know get more information on that so let's keep checking to see if we'll find a
5:07
product that you know that catch our fancy because chance is if it makes you click on
5:11
it has similar infect on other people that sort of post is also making other people click on it okay look at this product right there let check it out Looks like a pretty cool product Yeah it looks like a pretty cool product
5:27
Okay, look at the comments. The comment seems to be nice. People are asking for the price
5:34
I love it. Nice. Only said $5. Need because of Moon King
5:40
I love. So the comments are pretty nice. So looking at the creator's page, I can see a link
5:45
to their store for that product. There's a link to their store
5:50
Now, like, engage. Don't forget. Anytime you see a post that you like, a product that you like, like, like on that
5:57
post, engage. If you keep liking and keep engaging, TikTok will keep showing you more posts like that
6:02
Now, looking at the comments of this product, you can see that the comments are positive
6:08
But there are some bad comments as well. So let's keep that. Look at this
6:13
Let's go to the, um, this sort of. hashtag tiktok made me buy it various products tiktok must buy and then we'll see more products
6:22
okay let's look at this product like again like once you see a post of a product that you like
6:29
like so that that way tiktok will keep showing you more posts like that on your feed now this
6:36
comments here looks pretty cool the comments look really cool so let's check their website okay
6:42
this person has a link to their website um when we click it we can see their website we can see the prize and this website looks pretty clean we'll take notes
6:51
of certain things can you create a website this good can you create a website better than this
6:57
then we'll take look at the the name we'll copy the name we also take note of the price we'll go to
7:03
other platforms and check how much the product is selling for on amazon we take note of the the product
7:13
cost on Amazon. We also go to Ali Express and we'll take note of the product cost
7:18
It's selling cheaper here on Ali Express. I can see $9, $17. It's cheaper on Ali Express
7:25
It's also sort of cheap on Amazon. I can see $29, $23
7:30
Meanwhile, on this website, the person is selling it for $59. Okay
7:35
So now, add to card. At the card is important because when you click at a cart
7:41
TikTok will show you. posts of posts where people are actually clicking at to cart so if you see so just go through
7:50
and click art to cart you don't need to purchase the product right but if you like the product
7:53
click at to car with her purchasing it because that way tic is going to be showing you post and ads where people are actually adding to card That shows you that that product is marketable Okay now I go to my Google Doc and here I just note the link to the website where I found this product
8:15
And then I copied the name of the product and I go to my Google Doc
8:19
You can use any text app. You can use Microsoft Word. Then I copy the name and I
8:26
paste it here. This is the name of the product and the price. I enter the price tag in the website
8:33
I go to Amazon. I look at the price range because there are different customers on sellers on Amazon
8:38
So I just take note of the price range. You can see it at $4. The price range that that product is being sold on Amazon
8:45
I look at the price range. Then I go to my Google Doc and I note the price range of the product on Amazon
8:54
then I do the same for Ali Express I go to Ali Express
8:58
and I take note of the price it's cheaper on Ali Express
9:02
I think note of the price on Ali Express I can say $17 $6, $9
9:09
I just put the price range on Ali Express which is about $9 to $26
9:13
I put the price range there then the reviews I go to Ali Express
9:18
I look at the reviews I actually take time to read the reviews
9:21
how these reviews good reviews And I like the three-star reviews as well
9:27
I just look at it on Amazon. I also check the reviews and I read through the reviews to actually get insight about this product
9:35
And I make a little comment about the reviews. I know the reviews on my Google Doc
9:40
And I do the same for eBay. I go and look for the price. I know the price tag of the product on eBay
9:46
Then I check for the reviews as well. I look at the reviews. I do positive, I the negative
9:51
And I take a little note about the reviews. And with that done, I repeat the same process and I get ideas
9:59
But then I need to streamline. I need to ask myself certain questions to be able to pick the best of the best
10:05
Because repeating this process, I can get a lot of product ideas, but I need to pick the best
10:10
And I ask questions like, can this product be easily found in a local shop
10:14
I want to go for a product that is not easily found in a local shop. Can I offer a better price, do better video ads, you know, offer better shipping time that my competitor
10:24
than other websites. Can I shoot a lot of content with that product
10:29
Once I'm asking myself these questions, I'm able to pick, I'm able to have many product ideas
10:34
and finally just choose one, the best of the best
