The Ultimate Blueprint Of My 1000€/ Day Shopify Dropshipping Business

Featured ~ calbrechtentr ~ Leave a comment

In this video, I talk about the way I structure and organize my Dropshipping Business that currently makes me 1000€/ Day revenue (my profit margin is usually about 20%).

I start by shortly explaining the term “Dropshipping” and how you can make money from it. The key to make money from Dropshipping is to make more profits by selling products in your Shopify store than to spend on social media advertisement. Social media platforms are great for acquiring new costumers on the internet and provide a huge opportunity.

However, we need to find a product before we can start selling. I talk about the 3 requirements for products that can easily be sold on the internet (“winning products”). Additionally, I also talk about sales funnels which are an extremely powerful way to increase the money customers spent on your online shop.

Finally, I mention some ways to automatise a Dropshipping Business that generates more than 10 orders a day while giving some additional tips along the way.

Before I end this video, I inform you about the legal requirements for Dropshipping which play an essential role and should not be neglected.

~ calbrechtentr ~ Leave a comment

This video covers the issue most new (Shopify) Dropshippers face: they cannot make their Dropshipping business profitable. I am going to show you all strategies that you can use in order to solve this issue. Some of my strategies will take lots of time to set them up but they are necessary to become a professional (Shopify) Dropshipper and turn your business to the next level.

1. When Is My Dropshipping Store Unprofitable?

  1. Calculate your profit margin for every sale
  2. Calculate your average CPA (=cost per acquisition)
  3. If CPA > Profit, your Dropshipping store is unprofitable

2. The 4 Components Of (Profitable) Dropshipping

2.1 Product

  • Your product has a new feature or it solves a problem that no other product does
  • Your product is impressive and has a “wow effect”
  • Your product leads to an impulsive purchase decision
  • Your product is proven to sell, i.e. that other Dropshippers are profitably selling it

2.2 Creative

  • Creative = picture/ video that is used for advertisement on social media
  • Test 4 or more different creatives and analyse which one is most appealing to your audience
  • The first 1-2 seconds (“scroll stopper”) are the most important ones
  • Use professional video editing tools, e.g. Animoto or Blender
  • Spy on the ads of your competitors (using Facebook Ads library or other paid tools)
  • Goals:
    • High CTR (click-through-rate): 2%+
    • High engagement (likes, comments, shares)
    • High watch time: 30%+
  • Benefits:
    • Lower CPM (=cost per 1,000 people reached)
    • Lower CPC (=cost per click)

2.3 Ad Strategy

  • Make use of Facebook Pixel
  • Be aware that the Facebook algorithm needs data to properly optimise
  • 50+ conversions/ 7 days for each ad set are recommended
  • Make use of…
    • Look-A-Like Audiences
    • Retargeting
    • CBO (=campaign budget optimisation)
    • Breakdowns
  • Goal: only deliver your ads to the people who are most likely to purchase from you

2.4 Online Store/ Landing Page

3. Find Out How People Perceive Your Marketing Strategy

  • Try to find out how people perceive your product, creative, landing page
  • Your perception ≠ your potential customer´s perception
  • Goals
    • Answer all questions people might have before purchasing from you
    • Find reasons that hinder people from buying
    • Handle objections

3.1 Surveys

  • Ask online store visitors questions that help you to improve your strategy
  • Wait for at least 10 responses and try to find patterns
  • Interesting survey questions:
    • “What would be the main reason not to purchase from us?”
    • “What don´t you like about …?”
    • “What do you like most about our product?”

3.2 DM People On Instagram

  • Requirement: run your ads from your Instagram page

  • DM everyone who liked or commented your ad video

3.3 Analyse Screen Recordings And Heatmaps Of Your Landing Page

  • Screen recordings show how a customer interacted (clicking, scrolling etc.) with your page and what they saw
  • Heatmaps summarise all screen recordings
  • Number #1 tool: Hotjar

4. Discuss Your Strategy With Dropshipping Experts

  • You will likely overlook something
  • You can exchange knowledge and experience
  • Two persons will always see more than one
  • You can ask for advice

4.1 Find Dropshipping Experts In Facebook Groups

  • Be kind and respectful so that people want to cooperate with you
