Here is the updated Mystile theme, Storefront: http://wholesaleted.com/go/storefront

Shortcode: [recent_products per_page="8" columns="4"]

(Please note - this video description contains affiliate links)

***SKIP AHEAD TO A SPECIFIC SECTION OF THE VIDEO***

Step 1: Setup iPage web hosting & pick a domain - 4:54
Step 2: Install Wordpress - 9:52
Step 3: Install WooCommerce - 13:10
Step 4: Add free shipping - 17:10
Step 5: Install Mystile - 19:04
Step 6: Create a WooDropship account & install the chrome extension - 22:31
Step 7: Add products - 24:59
Step 8: Update the sidebar - 39:00
Step 9: Add a custom logo - 40:41

Step 12: Create an about us page - 47:07
Step 13: Update the menu - 48:29
Step 14: Launch your store - 52:16

Step 1 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Get a domain name & web hosting with iPage

I recommend using iPage. You can save money by buying a 1-year plan and not getting domain privacy. If you want to buy an SSL certificate, buy the SSL certificate at the first stage in the checkout process to get it the cheapest.

Step 2 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Install Wordpress

In the iPage control panel, click on “Wordpress.” Use the Mojo Marketplace installer to install Wordpress. Be sure to install it on your domain ending in .com (and not .ipage) and keep the directory empty (and yes - it’s OK to overwrite it).

Step 3 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Install WooCommerce

Go to WooCommerce and create an account. Install it using their 1-click installation. Then go through the installer program. Be sure to add PayPal as your payment processor, and select Stripe IF you purchased an SSL certificate.

Step 4 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Add free shipping

Go to the shipping settings in WooCommerce and create a shipping zone. Target worldwide and select it to be free shipping.

Step 5 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Install Mystile

Mystile is a free Wordpress theme. Download it (make sure you have verified your Wordpress account first), upload it to your store and then activate it.

Step 6 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Get a WooDropship account

Go to WooDropship and sign up for a free trial account. Then install the Chrome extension.

Step 7 to create an Aliexpress dropshipping store: Add products

Open your chrome browser. Go to Aliexpress and search for the product you want to add. Click the WooDropship button to add the product to your Import list. Switch back to WooDropship and go to your Import list. Replace the title and description with your desired title/description. Click “push to store.”

Click edit on the product that WooDropship has pushed to your store:

* Edit the formatting
* Change the price and edit product variations
* Change to a full-width page layout
* Add a short product description
* Remove and edit the photos in the image gallery
* Put your product in it’s correct category

Step 8: Update the sidebar

Go to widgets. Delete all of the widgets in the primary sidebar. Find the “WooCommerce Products” widget and place it in here. Keep the settings as they are and click save.

Step 9: Add a custom logo

In the Mystile general settings tab, upload your custom logo. Have it set to hide the site title and tagline.

Step 10: Update the footer

In the Mystile settings click footer customization. Scroll down and tick “enable custom footer (right).” Keep the box empty and save changes.

Step 11: Update the homepage

Create a new page and set it to be the homepage in the reading settings. Add a banner image, text copy and add this shortcode to show the 8 latest products: [recent_products per_page="8" columns="4"]

Step 12: Create an about us

Create a new page. Title it “About Us.” Add in website copy and at least 1 image, then save the page.

Step 13: Create a custom menu

Create a menu: Homepage, products (with submenu under this containing product categories), cart, checkout, about us & my account.

Step 14: Launch your store

Click on the button in the dashboard that turns off the “coming soon” page - done!

UNFORTUNATELY MYSTILE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. I have uploaded it here: http://wholesaleted.com/go/mystile

Here is the updated Mystile theme, Storefront: http://wholesaleted.com/go/storefront

Find products to dropship for your store: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CWrd2gdTIs

(Please note: I deactivated the store - I only created it as an example)

In this Woocommerce tutorial, we teach you how to create a ecommerce store. Using Wordpress, it is very easy to create an ecommerce store. Even if you’ve never made a website before, you’ll be able to set up your own simple store.

Go to Fiverr here: http://www.fiverr.com

Step 1: Get iPage $1.99/month hosting + domain name

To create an ecommerce store, you are going to need website hosting and a domain name. We strongly recommend iPage because it is very cheap ($1.99/month) and you get a free domain name with your purchase.

To get it, simply click on this link: http://wholesaleted.com/y/ipage

At the end of the setup you’re going to be in the control panel: Stay there for step 2.

Step 2: Install Wordpress & Woocommerce

In the control panel click on the Wordpress button. Follow the instructions to install Wordpress. For more details, watch our video on how to create an ecommerce store. When you’re done, you’ll be able to login to your Wordpress admin account - do this.

Next, to create an ecommerce store you’ll need to install the Woocommerce plugin. You do a search for Woocommerce in the plugin search bar to find it, no need to download it. Be sure to activate it.

Step 3: Install the Woocommerce theme Mystile

Next, we are going to install the Woocommerce custom theme, Mystile. It is absolutely free. You can download it here: https://www.woothemes.com/products/mystile/

Even though it says it it is a “product” it isn’t. It is free. Click add to cart and then create a free account to access it and download it. Return to your Wordpress admin and go to the themes section of your account (for more information, be sure to watch our video on how to create an online store).

Step 4: Customize your ecommerce store

The first thing you want to customize when you create an ecommerce store is your shipping and payment options. We’re going to set it up so that we can accept payments with PayPal, which means we can start getting paid straight away!

Head to the settings and click on the setup button. Follow the instructions. You’ll need to select what type of payments you’ll accept and you’ll need to select what countries you’re accepting shipping from.

The next thing you’ll want to do when you create an ecommerce store is add the items that you’re going to sell. To start, create categories to organize the different types of items you are selling. After that, click “add product.”

From here you can add two major types of products: Simple and variations. A simple product is a product that doesn’t have variations (for example, a mug that only comes in one colour) whereas a product with variations has multiple options for the same product (e.g. a mug that comes in multiple colours).

For all products, add in a title and a description. If you want your product description to be SEO friendly, ensure it is at least 400+ words long. Add in a picture gallery with your photos, and add a feature image to appear as your listing thumbnail picture.

If you select to add a simple product, you’ll only have to put in one pricing option and one shipping option.

If you select to add a product with variations, you’re going to need to add in the pricing and shipping options for each variation.

Next, you’ll want to create your homepage. Create a page. Name it “home.” Keep it blank for now. Next, go to your settings and select reading. Pick “home” to be the static page on your frontpage of your website. Next, go back to your page “home” and edit it.

I recommend deleting the title “home,” adding in a custom banner, putting some text on the homepage (to make it SEO friendly) and to have a preview of your last added products. To do that, simply add this piece of code:

[recent_products per_page=”8” columns=”4”]

I also recommend customizing the following:

Add a custom logo (necessary)
Add a custom menu (necessary)
Add an about us page (optional)
Update the footer (optional)

This is a beginner tutorial on how to create an ecommerce store with Woocommerce - customize it more and turn it into a digital asset!

Chinese Import SCAMS?! Aliexpress & Alibaba Scams & How to Avoid Them with Amazon FBA &
Chinese Import SCAMS?! Aliexpress & Alibaba Scams & How to Avoid Them with Amazon FBA & Fakty Jebać fałsz 2 Views • 2 years ago

Learn how to NOT get scammed when dropshipping with Aliexpress and importing from Alibaba.
►► FREE EBOOK:
http://wholesaleted.com/4-step
►► THE DROPSHIP CLUB PREMIUM TRAINING: https://thedropshipclub.com

Here are 4 tips for not getting scammed when importing from China with suppliers on Aliexpress & Alibaba.

Tip #1: Work with suppliers that have been online for multiple years

This is the absolute, easiest way to protect yourself from getting scammed. If a supplier has been on Alibaba/Aliexpress for 2-3 years and been scamming people by taking their money and running, they would have been removed by now.

China enforce very harsh rule for criminals (they’re ranked 5th in the world for enforceable contracts). Any company with history that could be easily tracked by the law enforcement is unlikely going to risk a harsh prison term for some quick cash.

The great thing about Aliexpress, is you can see how long a supplier’s been online for. Because you’ll be buying items individually on Aliexpress, working with suppliers who have been online for 2+ years is usually more than enough to safeguard yourself.

With Alibaba however, you’ll be purchasing orders in much larger quantities, so it makes sense to go that inch further. In that case, we recommend purchasing from suppliers who have had a gold subscription for 3+ years. These subscriptions cost thousands every year to maintain, so chances are a scammy supplier wouldn’t be subscribed to this.

Tip #2: Be wary of suspicious payment methods

The biggest red flag is if a supplier asks you to pay in a suspicious way. As a beginner in dropshipping, stick to ordering via Aliexpresses checkout system.

As your dropshipping business grows, you may move to a different system called CSV bulk dropshipping. This when you download all of your orders from your Shopify store in a CSV format, and send that file to the dropshipper. They’ll take that data, and then fulfill all of the orders for you off Aliexpress.
For Alibaba: Stick to paying for orders via Paypal or wire transfers to banks in mainland China . And if a supplier asks you to pay via Western Union - DO NOT work with them.

Tip #3: Protect yourself against faulty products

Unfortunately, quality control issues are an unavoidable part of the dropshipping business. To protect yourself from this, only work with suppliers who have a good history of shipping out the product you’re selling. Looking at the product reviews is a great indicator for this, as it shows people have had an excellent buying experience with the supplier.

For Alibaba, one way you can protect and safeguard yourself is to pay for an order with PayPal.

If you do this, then you are protected by PayPal’s Dispute program. If you receive bad products, then you know that if you can’t work out some form of compensation with your supplier, that you’ll be able to claim a refund with PayPal.

Here are some additional tips:

#1: Identify your supplier is part of the Trade Assurance program

If they are, they’ll have the Trade Assurance icon on their listing, which tells you how much you can be protected for if you purchase products through them.

#2: Negotiate with the supplier & create your contract

Make sure you agree on ALL aspects of your order. Including price, shipping dates, and the terms you’ll be covered under Trade Assurance.

Also ensure your contract includes expectations for your products. For example, the size and materials they should be made out of.

#3: Pay for the item through Alibaba

Pay with a telegraphic transfer (e-checking if you’re in the USA). Paying with credit card is also an option. It has fees, but provides you with an additional layer of protection due to chargebacks.

Tip #4: Get your products inspected

This is more targeted towards Amazon FBA sellers who do Private Labelling. Since you’ll be buying in bulk, it makes sense to inspect orders before shipping them to the Amazon FBA warehouse.

If a product doesn’t pass the quality inspection, you can negotiate with your supplier to fix the problem, or worst-case-scenario, file a dispute with PayPal or Alibaba. Alibaba offers a service that lets you organize an inspector through them, which costs around $200.
