Automate Drop Shipping

[CrimeDog]

Im new to drop shipping. I was starting the ebay method but got suspended, so im waiting for that to get lifted. In the meantime im looking at other ways to profit from drop shipping such as making a single product shopify site and paying high traffic instagram accounts to post ads for the product with a link to the site. Im wondering if there is a way to automate the process of fulfilling the orders with the wholesaler so that if i get a ton of orders i dont have to sit there and do it manually.

I am pretty sure that there are apps for that, if you go to shopify app store and search auto fulfill apps you will find a few, and also if you are getting hella orders I would recommend getting a drop shipping agent, I can refer you too one he is really helpful.

But I had a question.. Do you by any chance know any good influencers or have a list or something because I am currently looking for a few.

I'd appreciate that referral for that agent just in case this takes off. the way i've been approaching this is a little different than just finding influencers.

2 methods ive came up with so far:

1. (start with the wholesaler) by finding a good product that has free shipping, fast shipping, free returns, good ratings and 1k+ sales from the wholesaler, so that way i know its going to work if i find the right niche account. then i try to locate a niche account with enough followers to make it worth paying for the ad but not so many follows that the account charges to much for the ad. i think the sweet spot may be 30k-100k with good follower interaction. but of course a page with 20k followers that gets an average of 12k likes and 100's of comments per post would work too.

2. (start with the current market/ what is selling now) looking at high traffic niche IG accounts and watching what products their ads are for (and how many likes/comments the ad post gets on their account) and then i find that product at a wholesaler.

I think just going for general/generic influencers (meme/novelty accounts etc) is kinda a shot in the dark unless you are selling something trendy like when fidgets spinners were popular.

so the short answer no i dont have a list of influencers. ive only just started looking into this method of drop shipping yesterday.
