IG Journey, Dropship + Shopify

Only 5 IG accounts for the monetizing $50 daily?

 

[IGJavier]

Yeah! even tho it would be a problem you can use this method! Thanks man!

Anyway, in your case, it's interesting to make unique URL for each IG account because then you know where exactly your sales are coming from. Maybe all of your sales come from just 1 account and you don't know that.

Read the thread, i only monetize 2 accounts & the 3rd is new , The other 2 accounts are for other niches

Hey man.
- to receive a parcel from china ( europe), sometimes the transport is long. How do you handle that for the client?
- is that some customers complain that they didn't receive the package, how do you handle that too?

Thanks

Sorry i didn't notice your Reply man!
Anyway,
1- checking my sales reports, I see 75% Social Media( 70% Instagram; 5% Pinterest) , 20% Direct, 5% Search.
2- Actually im only working with 2 accounts and posting between 2-3 posts per account daily. The other 2 accounts are for other niches ( I may use them for Shoutout or even make a store for them if i found good product for them)
3- I run out of phone numbers lol, i used all my family numbers, i plan to buy local phone numbers ( real ) to add more accounts, but for sure i will add accounts 100%
I hope these informations help you ! and yes i wasn't really sure that i can get sales like that! after i spent 360$ on fb ads, i thought its a bad niche, but statistics and other stores proves that its good, so i kept digging, till i found this method.
Ps: i have a question, From where direct & search sales come from? google ? i have no idea lol
Good luck man!

Hey man, thanks for getting back to me. Sounds like we can slightly help each other out.

1 - Awesome stats. Happy to see that since I'm not going to get into this. Opened up a shopify partners shop today. Chose my products from AE and set everything up. Since IG is very visual and 100% of my traffic is from there, I decided to invest $110 into a designer to professionally make my shopify look DAMN good. Haha. Hopefully it's an investment that is worth it. With regards to products, my next and last hurdle after the designer finishes is...titles and descriptions. Any recommendations for getting quality titles and descriptions since obviously ali express one's suck?
2 - Gotcha. That's great though it means there's even more potential. But what are you doing to get people to your website? Is their a coupon code in your bio and a link to your site that people are clicking on to use the coupon code? Have you been sending automated direct messages with coupons or other content? Have you been using Instagram stories? Just curious, since I am getting into this and want to be sure I'm not missing anything in my setup.
3 - Oh baby, so listen...you don't even need to do that. Like I said, I run 50+ instagram accounts, and I do it all with just one phone. If you use online SMS verification services (which are very inexpensive), then you don't need an actual phone or sim, and it will actually save you a ton of money too along the way. Of course I don't manage all my accounts from my phone, but that's a whole nother story. Lmk if you need help with your setup. Just opened 4 fresh accounts today to get this started for once my store is complete.

Direct traffic = people directly putting your link into their browser --> Not sure how you're getting so much direct traffic. Check your flow. Maybe people click on your bio link and it doesn't load well or there's a slight bug. That could potentially cause people to then copy and paste that link into their browser. In that case, your analytics on shopify will think of it as direct traffic rather than instagram traffic. Just a thought.

Search = Google, Bing, etc.

Congratulations dude!



What's your typical cart abandonment rate? Also do you have any measures that are actually effective at capturing those lost sales?

Go to the shopify app store and search "cart abandonment". There are several free and paid apps that will send emails to people that have abandoned their cart. You setup how long after the abandoned cart you want it to send emails, setup discount codes, etc. They are pretty effective if they are setup correctly. They have brought as high as 35% of abandoned carts back to sales.

Thanks

-Well yea, ePacket to Europe takes alot longer , 20-40 days, thats why i try my best to target only people from US, to avoid this problem
-After 30 Orders, i only got one complained that he received only one Item & not two, told him to wait more time, if he does't receive it then he can email me back and i can send him another one, its better than a dispute in paypal that will ruin my paypal legacy

-Happy to see you getting on the boat! You really don't need 110$ to design your Store, i think u can do that alone and only in 2H, in fact all shopify theme are already awesome , you just need to organize categories and collection thats all. I would prefer to spend 110$ in fb ads than in Design xD
-Yeah Ali titles are bad, but guess what? i just copy the description and past it lol and i make a little bit of modification like removing Dropshipping & wholesale service and so on, and the title hmm i try to keep it simple depends on what on the product is or i add a word inside the title, something like that, i really keep everything simple
-Well there is no coupon code or something like that, i don't use instagram stories( only once ), and no i don't use comment or like or Direct message people as it will make my account gets banned, only follow & unfollow. After all i think its all about a cheap price
-Really? so with only one number i can verify alot of accounts? thats great! seems cool.
what do u think about using same URL website in 5 accounts, does that make my acc gets any risk?
Thank you for the detils i understand now where its all coming from! ^_^ keep us updated about ur journey bro

That's a good point...I mean I already paid and I know that the guy doing it will make the website look flawless. You're right that I could get sales without it, but I also think that a nice website can also make it look more legit and therefore get more conversion.

- Never thought to just copy/paste description, especially since it's often just stupid bullet points. Even in this case, I should just copy/paste? For titles, I'm not too worried, I can come up with something clever for each product.

- I'm using coupon codes and sending DM's automatically for each of the accounts...already got someone email address who opted in for a coupon code...will probably try some email marketing later on at some point with retargeting fb ads once I get 100+ emails.

- With regards to you getting banned in instagram - i do a lot more than just follow/unfollow and have had very few accounts banned...I think it's mostly just random to be honest, but in general, I DO think it helps to do other things such as like and DM people. I do it automatically and have a ton of accounts and 95% have no issue.

- Phone number...sorry I wasn't clear about this. Basically, you don't use your phone to verify accounts. When creating a new IG account, you use a website for this. Here's the website I use + affiliate link (www get sms code dot com/?ref=214769). If you use this, you'll also get 10% off. Basically, you go in there, and give them $5 worth of credits. Then, when you go to projects, and FAVORITE Instagram. Then go to GET CODE. Then choose chinese sms (the cheapest), then you will go to another page. Select Instagram at the top, and then click CAPTURE NUMBER. Then it will give you a phone number. Copy and paste this phone number when opening a new Instagram account. Then go ahead and create the account NAME, USERNAME, and PASSWORD. Afterwards, it will want to sms verify. Go back to the website now, and wait 30 seconds or so, and boom, there's your SMS CODE - You can create unlimited accounts this way and it's super cheap

- URL website in all 5 accounts...yeah, I would avoid doing this. If anything, you should at least cloke your links with a bit.ly so there's a bit more work for Instagram to undercover what you're doing. Go to bit.ly, and put your website link to create a bit.ly link which you can then use as your bio link. For each account, you should use a different bit.ly link. You cannot create 2 separate bit.ly links for identical URL's, therefore you're going to have use this trick I've found. Let's say your website is awesome dot com, you will put that into bit.ly to create your tracking link. When you want to make a second link for this same URL (awesome dot com), you'll have to use my trick. In this case, you will want to type into bit.ly awesome dot com/#01 - This will allow you to create additional tracking links that work for each profile. And the next one would be with #02, #03, and so on and so forth.

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions

It´s always nice to see other people succeeding in what they are doing! Congratulations and keep up the good work x

 

[tjw616]

First and foremost congratulations on the sales and success man!

I have been looking into Shopify dropshipping as well, however....
I see from AE the shipping time to the US is about 20-30 days. I saw earlier you had already answered someones question about shipping to Europe. Have customers complained about shipping time to the US?

 

[JBaumInsta]

You should have started your Shopify store as a developer. You don't pay any Shopify fees until you reach 50 sales on your store.. Even if it takes a year. Lol. Good luck on your journey, and if you have any questions then you can PM me or just comment on this thread! I would be happy to help! I run 3 Shopify stores at the moment, 2 of them being 6 figures a year and one being 7 figures.

Hey man,
Just started a shopify store and was wondering if I could get your 2 cents since you seem to have had a lot of success.
Any chance we could connect? Not sure how to reach out to you privately via BHW..
Thank you!

Hey man.
- to receive a parcel from china ( europe), sometimes the transport is long. How do you handle that for the client?
- is that some customers complain that they didn't receive the package, how do you handle that too?

Thanks

-I have a disclaim right away when the customer buys, it says " due to high demand of this item X , it may take 1-3 weeks, and usually it takes over 15-27 Days to reach clients in Europe
-Till now, only one sent me email saying he only receive 1 item rather than 2, it was my mistake,i forgot to ship the 2nd one since i do it manually , no app or something, so i talked to him and sent him tracking number, all done in email no dispute or smth

That's a good point...I mean I already paid and I know that the guy doing it will make the website look flawless. You're right that I could get sales without it, but I also think that a nice website can also make it look more legit and therefore get more conversion.

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions

-Heyy bro! sorry been a little busy! You are right, maybe if its really good and easy to use it will get you more conversion
-Well i just copy Description and remove the supplier brand name & dropship support one, i only leave details about the product and for the title, you must create a unique one of course, because you really want to avoid same Title, imagine someone remembers the name and come to google with ur domain name, there is a chance that aliexpress one will pop up since they are high ranked in google Seo right? So yeah try to avoid that
-I think that DM can be risky like commenting because it annoys people and rather than just deleting the message if they don't like, they click spam inappropriate,,, If only 10 people do that ,,, you are at risk, so try to avoid it i guess, u don't want to lose your account at 5K + followers,,
- Thank you man , i might use it when i run out of phone numbers, i tried the same number of another account and it worked lol
-Yeah i really think about it, i use now the same link in 4 accounts, some are with .com/collectionX , but still risky i guess,i will start using Bit.ly even tho it deosn't seem legit and it will lower the clicks to the website ofc, but its better than getting banned anyway xD
Thank you for the tips bro! i hope you already setup your website and ready to start!
