When most people think of “dropshipping” they think exclusively about Aliexpress or Shopify. But dropshipping has existed WELL before both of these things. Follow Sarah on a journey back in time to discover the origins of dropshipping and how it’s changed…

The 60s & 70s: Dropshipping Before the Internet

Did you know that dropshipping actually began before the internet? It was kickstarted by mail order companies. In the 60s & 70s, companies were taking advantage of mail order catalogs, including large companies like JCPenny & Sears. It was very profitable for them, but it was a challenge to pick, pack and ship individual items out to customers.

The solution? They developed fulfillment warehouses that were specially designed to speed up this process (a lot of people think that Amazon FBA warehouses were the first fulfillment warehouses, but they aren’t - but they did revolutionize them and massively improve them).

When they created these, other exclusive mail order companies like CompuCard saw these fulfillment centers and knew that these represented a great opportunity: they could resell these items individually in their catalog and purchase them from these fulfillment centers. They did - and it worked. This was the first form of major-scale dropshipping.

The 90s: Dropshipping & the Dot Com Bubble

When the internet was introduced to the mainstream public in the 90s, it took a long time for consumers to feel comfortable purchasing items online and using their credit cards. But by the late 90s, ecommerce stores were starting to grow - and a lot of online stores like Pets.com popped up. They made big promises to investments, riding the wave of euphoria that arose from more and more people trusting online stores. These online stores like Pets.com raised millions of dollars from investors.

Unfortunately, these stores were not profitable: they were dropshipping from USA dropshippers that had become a lot more expensive over time due to increased shipping demands. And so by 2001, a lot of these stores went bankrupt as they were unsustainable, and the dot com bubble burst.

The 2000s: The Rise of Amazon.com & eBay.com

Two companies that survived the dot com bubble and burst were Amazon & eBay. These two sites revolutionized how individuals could sell online. No longer did you need to go through the technical, expensive process of creating an online store and advertising it. Now you could list your items on their site and let them drive the traffic for you.

For dropshipping, this was a huge boom. Previously it was very expensive to use dropshippers as not only did USA dropshippers charge a lot for their items, they had to spend an enormous amount of money during the store development and advertising phases. Facebook ads was not released until 2007, and it took several years for it to become as good as it is today. The only real option was Google Ads, which was and is very expensive. But now, Amazon & eBay advertised their website on behalf of individual sellers, which meant that dropshipping was now viable for anyone - not just large corporations.

2010-2018: The Chinese Revolution with Aliexpress, Shopify & Oberlo

In 2010, dropshipping was changed forever. Previously, working with Chinese dropshippers was complicated, which was why most individual dropshippers chose to work with USA dropshippers. But in 2010, Alibaba released Aliexpress: and made purchasing individual items from Chinese manufacturers & dropshippers as simple as purchasing an item from an online store via a checkout. It removed the language & cultural barriers, and made the whole process even easier than working with USA suppliers - while being MUCH cheaper!

In addition, Shopify arose during this time, which made creating an ecommerce store much easier. And then in 2015, Oberlo came out: a Shopify app that turns Shopify stores into semi-automated Aliexpress dropshipping stores. This was so successful, that in 2017 Shopify actually purchased Oberlo, and integrated the app even further.

And thus we arrive at today. Now we can dropship in our own stores & control our own destiny, because…

1) We have access to cheap dropshippers & items with Aliexpress.
2) It’s simple, easy & affordable to create professional semi-automated dropshipping stores with Shopify & Oberlo.
3) Traffic is simple & cheap thanks to Facebook ads.

(A kind viewer explained 5:15 it is a Mexican Shawl. I am sorry, that was very rude of me 🙏)

What is Affiliate Marketing? How Do You Make Money with Affiliate Marketing?

In this business model, your goal is to refer customers/clients to another business. If they purchase their products/services, you make a commission on the sale. The way that these businesses track your sales is with something called a hoplink. When a customer clicks on this hoplink and then purchases an item, you get credited with the sale.

What is Dropshipping (with Aliexpress)? How Do You Make Money with Dropshipping?

Dropshipping (with Aliexpress) is when you go to Aliexpress and find low-cost items to list in your own online store (e.g. you can make a store with Shopify) with a mark-up price. You then run Facebook ads to the products in your store promoting them. When a customer buys an item in your store, you then go to Aliexpress and order the item for them. You keep the difference in profit.

Question 1: Which Is Easiest for Beginners - Affiliate Marketing or Dropshipping?

There is no clear winner when it comes to this question: both business models have their own advantages and disadvantages.

With affiliate marketing, it has the advantage that your affiliate merchant partner is likely established and has built up trust online. That means that if you refer a potential customer to them, that the conversion rates will be higher because they are more likely to feel comfortable purchasing from them - unlike with dropshipping where as a fresh store, you don’t have built up credibility.

On the other hand, with dropshipping, your store is usually in a less saturated market for Facebook ads. For big, profitable affiliate products, a lot of affiliates will be trying to run Facebook ads directly to the offers, making traffic expensive and competitive. In addition, you have larger profit margins to work with when dropshipping, which also helps make it easier to create profitable Facebook ads. This is very relevant as Facebook ads are probably the easiest source of traffic for beginners.

Question 2: What Makes the Most Money? Affiliate Marketing or Dropshipping?

Dropshipping has the highest potential to make money. The reason for this is that when you create a store and sell products in it, you are building up a list of buyers that you know are interested in the products that you sell. So if you have a store selling products related to Astrology, then you know that people who purchase items in your store are interested in products related to Astrology - and you can send out emails to them in the future promoting similar products, and make more sales/money.

With affiliate marketing, you are helping your merchant build a list - NOT you. And they will take the buyers that you send them, and they will send them a lot of emails promoting more of their products. With affiliate marketing, you are making one-off sales.

Question 3: Which is the Most Passive? Affiliate Marketing or Dropshipping?

Affiliate Marketing is a more passive business model than dropshipping. The reason for that is while you can semi-automate a dropshipping store, you still need to manage and fulfill orders. When a customer comes to your store and purchases an item, you need to go to Aliexpress, order the item and then get it shipped out to your customer. This is called order fulfillment. You also need to do customer support and reply to emails and messages left by customers. You can in-time make your business a lot more passive by hiring staff to run it for you, though you will need to manage those staff members.

But with affiliate marketing, you don’t do any of this - the merchant partner does this for you. THEY send the products out to the customers, THEY fulfill the orders and THEY answer customer emails. As long as you have a traffic source setup that is sending referrals to the merchant, the business will run on autopilot.

So which is better? The answer is neither: they both have their own pros and cons. Choose the business model that is right for you.

***TWO IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS***

* Please note: I am not an accountant. Please do NOT use my advice in-place of an accountants. I always recommend that any new entrepreneur gets their own accountant.

* This video only covers your tax obligations when dropshipping to customers based in the USA, as that is what we teach on this channel (how to start a store and then target USA-based customers).

QUESTION 1: What Taxes Do I Need to Pay When Dropshipping?

When you are dropshipping, there are two types of taxes that you may need to pay:

***Income Tax Obligations***

Everyone is required to pay income tax (unless you live in an income tax haven). You only need to pay income tax on the profit that you made from your store, not the total revenue. You pay income tax to the country that you live in.

So that means that if you live in Canada, you pay income tax to the Canadian government. The same goes for Australia - if you live in Australia, you pay income tax to the Australian government. You do not live in the USA, then you do not pay income tax to it, even though you are selling to USA citizens.

If you do live in the USA then you will be required to obey both the federal and state laws regarding income tax.

***Sales Tax Obligations***

While everyone is required to pay income tax to their local country of residence, not everyone watching this video will be required to pay sales tax. In the USA, you are only required to collect and pay sales tax to a state if you have “nexus” in it.

Nexus is a legal term which means that you have a sufficient physical presence in a state that you now need to collect and pay sales tax within it.

In the USA, the federal government does not require you to collect and pay sales tax. It is handled by each individual state. So to be required to collect and pay sales tax within one, you need to have a sufficient physical presence in that state (nexus).

This means that if you live outside of the USA in another country (such as Australia, UK, India, Canada etc) then it is very unlikely that you have nexus in any USA state. That means you are not obligated/required to collect and pay sales tax on any orders made by USA customers.

If you live in the USA, then you most likely only have nexus in a single state - the state that you live in. However, if you suspect you have a physical presence in another state, for example:

* You rent/own property in another state.
* You have a remote employee in another state.

Then I would strongly recommend going to an accountant and talk to them to find out which states you do have nexus in.

Question 2: How Do I Collect & Pay Sales Tax when Dropshipping?

Once you know which states you have nexus in, you now need to collect sales tax on orders made by customers with shipping addresses within it. If you are using Shopify, setting your store up to collect taxes is very simple, and we have included step-by-step instructions within this video.

Something important to note is that Shopify will automatically calculate taxes for destination based states, which is very helpful.

A destination based state (such as New York) requires you to collect and pay sales tax based upon where the customer you’re dropshipping to lives, not where you live (in comparison to origin based states).

This can get pretty complicated since each city/district has its own taxes! For example, in New York City, the sales tax rate is 8.875%. But in the city of Buffalo, the sales tax rate is 8.75%. You need to collect and pay the right sales tax for each order.

What Shopify does is it will automatically calculate the correct tax based upon where the customer is - making this super simple.

I also recommend using TaxJar (which automatically syncs with Shopify) as it will generate an automated report which will make paying sales tax much easier, plus they also have an auto-file option for most states which makes filing your taxes even simpler.

Got any questions about paying taxes when dropshipping? Please ask them. We aren’t qualified accountants, but we’ll do our best to answer as many as we can.

QUESTION: What is Print On Demand?

ANSWER: It is kind of a form of dropshipping. Print On Demand is when you take a piece of artwork, and you use an app like Printful (which works with a Shopify store) to place that artwork on items that customers purchase (t-shirts, hoodies, mugs etc) and to print them. Printful will then ship these items out directly to the customer.

QUESTION: What sorts of artwork and designs work best for Print On Demand?

ANSWER: The best designs are those that target a very passionate niche. Michael Shih from Print Profits targeted the gothic fashion niche. Using the Facebook insight tool he was about to see that over 2 million users were interested in it. It also helps if you can move into a secondary niche: in this case, the sugar skull niche was related and customers passionate about one niche tended to be passionate about that niche too.

QUESTION: How can you scale Facebook ads to huge profits with Print On Demand?

ANSWER: When scaling Facebook ads, you can scale horizontally (split testing different ads, using different creatives like images) or you can scale vertically (increasing the budget). Michael Shih from Print Profits made over a million dollars in a year from his Print On Demand store by doing both. He was able to massively increase the amount of money per order by adding in a product upsell funnel. He took the money he made, and invested it into his Facebook ad scaling spend.

QUESTION: Where can you find artwork to use for Print On Demand products?

ANSWER: You can use image sites like Shutterstock and iStockPhotos. You can also hire an artist to make an original design for you. Make sure that you have the rights to resell and to use it for commercial products. An artist will usually charge you more if you plan to use their artwork like that. If you don’t do this, your Print On Demand store could be sued for copyright infringement.

QUESTION: What are some unique items you can print onto that convert well?

ANSWER: Most people think to sell t-shirts, hoodies and mugs. But did you know that you can print onto shot glasses, wine glasses and jewelry? Michael Shih from Print Profits has found that these convert very well.

QUESTION: What are some unique ways to run tests to find winning products?

ANSWER: Michael has some interesting strategies that he uses:

* He creates Facebook ads targeting engagement. He then adds images of 4 products and asks the viewer “which do you like the most?”

* Once he’s built up a customer email base, he will email them and do a poll on what types of items they would like.

* He runs an ad that is promoting a giveaway, but instead of sending them directly to the product page for the free-just-pay-shipping offer, he sends them to a Shopify collection page. He then see’s which products people add in addition to their cart the most, and runs ad campaigns for those products.

QUESTION: What mistakes do new dropshippers make with their Print On Demand Stores?

ANSWER: Here were some of the biggest mistakes newbies make that Michael identified:

1) They find a winning product and they stop testing new products. They find a winning t-shirt design but they don’t test the design onto different types of products, like leggings, and lose a lot of money they could be making.

2) They try and scale their Facebook ads too quickly. If you try and scale your ads too fast, Facebook does not collect enough data during the learning phase and the ad “dies off.”

3) Not having a funnel in-place. Michael Shih from Print Profits was able to make over a million dollars in a year because he has a funnel which upsells customers to more items. Once you find a winning item, put in an upsell funnel ASAP.

Are YOU making these 3 critical dropshipping mistakes that could get you sued or shut down?

Why long shipping times don’t matter: https://youtu.be/sBuiN-CVxE4

In this video, Sarah reviews 3 of our subscribers stores… but NOT for sales and conversions. Instead, Sarah takes a look at them to see if they are legally compliant (and spoiler - they aren’t!). Here are the mistakes they made:

MISTAKE #1: Selling Copyrighted Products

The first store that Sarah reviewed (Scoops World Online) was making a HUGE mistake by selling phone cases that featured copyrighted photos, pictures, characters and trademarked logos (and yes - photos can contain copyrights as well!).

On Aliexpress, a lot of sellers will sell items that contain copyrighted pictures and characters, and sell items that contain logos that are trademarked. A lot of people make the mistake that surely these manufacturers are only selling them if they have the right to do so? But unfortunately, they almost always don’t. The reason why they do it is because they know that they can get away with it, not because they have the right to do so.

It’s very tempting to sell items that feature copyrighted characters/trademarks because they sell extremely well. The reason why they sell extremely well is because companies like Disney have poured enormous amounts of money into making them super popular. That is why they protect their copyrights/trademarks: they want to capitalize on that popularity and keep all of that money for themselves!

However, this does lead to another question that we get asked a lot…

QUESTION: Can I Sell Items that Contain Chinese Manufacturers Names?

YES! Yes you can. There is NOTHING wrong with selling items that contain copyrights or trademarks, as long as you acquired those items LEGALLY. So you can tell a Captain America action figure, as long as you acquired it from a source that either produced it legally, or bought it legally.

The problem with Chinese manufacturers is they usually did not produce their Captain America phone cases legally in the first place, which makes the items illegal - and thus, it makes it illegal for you to purchase them and resell them. If the manufacturers had produced them legally, it would be legal for you to sell them.

So when a Chinese manufacturer places their brand/logo on an item (e.g. the manufacturer Transhome likes to put the name of their factory - Transhome - on their products) it’s absolutely fine to buy and resell that, as they had the right to make that item in the first place.

MISTAKE #2: Not Having a Refund Policy Page

The second store that Sarah reviewed (Doggo Trend) did not have a refund policy page anywhere on the website. This is a big problem because it means that if the customer wants to return an item for an illegitimate reason (e.g. they bought the wrong sized shirt) that you can’t point to a refund policy page and say, we don’t accept refunds if you purchase the wrong size, and we made this clear before you bought it. The customer now has an opening to argue with you that they should receive a refund - which increases the chances that they’ll try to do something like file a dispute with PayPal.

And yes: you would probably win that dispute. But now your seller metrics have been negatively impacted. Be sure to protect yourself with a refund policy page.

MISTAKE #3: Not Including a Shipping Time Disclaimer

When dropshipping from Aliexpress, the shipping times can be 10-20 days long with epacket to the USA. This is an abnormally high shipping time. It is not fair to the customer to not warn them that the shipping times are going to be long. The third store that Sarah reviewed, Kokosale, did NOT include a shipping time disclaimer on their product pages. This is very concerning: you should include a note (and we recommend bolding it) saying that shipping will take either 2-3 weeks, or 2-4 weeks to be safe.

If you do not warn the customer, they could get very upset and legitimately ask for a refund, file a PayPal dispute or file a chargeback. And the chances are, you will lose that dispute because you were engaging in shady practices. So don’t try to hide the shipping times - set the expectation for the customer. Be upfront and let them know!

When reviewing this subscriber’s Shopify dropshipping store, Sarah focused on 3 main elements of it:

1) The store design & branding.
2) The products listed in the store.
3) The product listings & descriptions.

Let’s see what this Shopify dropshipping store did right - and how it could improve!

#1: The Store Design & Branding (tips for improving Shopify store design & branding)

This store did not have a custom logo. We highly recommend that you invest in a custom logo for your store. You can buy one from Fiverr for $5 (plus a 50 cent transaction fee). The store homepage also looked very empty as there was very little content on it. An easy way to add additional content to make it look bigger would be to preview products that you are selling on the store there.

In addition, this watch store had watches for men, women and children - yet the colour scheme was very male-centric. It had the same colour scheme that you would expect to see in a male accessory store. This immediately would put off females that had come to the site.

Something else that the site needed to work on was the fact that it was emphasizing heavily that profits were being donated to charity. On the homepage there was no mention of what charity it was, and when a customer navigated to the page that was supposed to explain the mission, there was no explanation about why the profits were being donated. Unless the customer identifies with your mission and believes in it, they’d rather just buy a watch cheaper elsewhere.

#2: The Products Listed in the Store (tips for picking winning products for your Shopify dropshipping store).

The male watches listed were very generic. They were nice watches - but there was nothing about them that appealed to people’s hobbies/passions. Picking products that do this are key to triggering impulse purchases.

To help explain this, Sarah used an example in the video: a nice looking mug with a flower on it, versus a mug that makes your face look like a cat face when you drink out of it. No one would purchase the flower mug because while it is a nice mug, they can buy a mug like that elsewhere. The mug that turns your face into a cat is a lot more exciting because it triggers emotional feelings in people that love cats/cute things.

The watches in the female section had a lot more potential as there were several watches that appealed to niches/hobbies/passions. Some examples included a peacock watch, a watch with a world map on it and a sailing watch that featured an anchor.

#3: The Product Listings & Descriptions (tips for improving your Shopify dropshipping product description copy).

The product listing and description is where a lot of dropshippers cut corners. They are more likely to put time into designing a nice homepage than creating a good product description. This is a major mistake because no matter what, for a customer to purchase the item, they have to go to your product listing and see the description. It is a key element of your sales funnel.

Here are some tips Sarah gave the subscriber to improve their product listing:

* For the title, Sarah recommended that this subscriber change the name of the product to something that was relevant to the niche, and to try and use an emotive word in the title.

* She thought the price was a good price - it was under $15 which means it is priced low enough to be an impulse purchase.

* She liked that the thumbnail picture was the product on a white background, but recommended adding in photos showing the product being used in real life.

* She recommended uploading photos large enough so that the customer could zoom in on them as this has been proven to increase conversions.

* She was happy to see that there was a very clear shipping disclaimer. Doing this will greatly decrease refunds, disputes and chargebacks.

* She recommended that the subscriber update their product description. It is currently bullet points that point out product features. She recommended adding in 2-3 paragraphs that sell the customer on the benefits of the product and how it will improve their lives and to use emotive words. She also recommended adding in trust words.

* She recommended turning reviews off unless you have at least 1 review for the product to upload.

* She recommended having a related products section at the bottom of the page to encourage cross-sells.
