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
