$100K Dropshipping Story (Long Read)

Thanks for sharing these golden nuggets.
How did you manage the shipping from China to you warehouse?. I've gotten a few quotes and the shipping has been $1000+ for a 10KG box due to Corona virus shutdowns.
 
One product for me, means either literally one, or one with variants :)

Although if I’m buying in bulk, I usually do literally just one as it’s less SKUs for the warehouse to manage - which results in less fulfilment fees for me. :)

(I do actually offer post purchase upsells and email upsells , so technically not one product , but it is on the front end)
Interesting!

Especially the upsale. I don't know if you've read my thread thoroughly, but I used similar techniques. (pretty standard!); and I think we've chatted about that before in the thread!
Would love to have a chat one day about on-going projects and share some genius techniques to implement in further projects. On my current one I'm using an (in my opinion) advanced upsale method :)
 
Congratulations dear, that's a great journey.

Thank you for sharing this gem!

Sure thing, I can drop you a PM, or you can send one my way whenever. :)

There’s going to be some massive value shared between the two of us. :D

It took a lot of talking to separate suppliers. Eventually I leveraged their responses against each other. But for that to work , they have to know that you’re doing big numbers, so they don’t lose you as a customer :)
 
How would you dropship 1 by 1 item from alibaba cconsidering MOQ and shipping rates?
 
Nice read, quite useful for me thanks for sharing this journey here!
 
thank for great sharing, i recommend using 1688 for buying in bulk. its better and cheaper than alibaba.

I thought that was only for domestic buyers inside of China?

Are the shipping rates comparable to those on Alibaba (given the same product and weight)

you need to find an agency to to buy and ship it if you dont know chinese, but if you have some chinese assistant, you can contact them directly and ask them about the shiping in bulk, i think its cheaper about 40% than alibaba, and better thing is you just need to buy around 2 to 5 items per time.
 
Hey man, great value post! At the moment I'm following Charlie's course as well and I can't seem to get this right.

I'm doing a one-product store with bundle offers, and I want to push it on a Shopping Campaign, should I optimize all three product listing in the Google Feed App ( eg. 1x unit, 2x units,3x units ) although it is the same product? And how is Google showing up my ad? It's creating an add for each bundle or just for one unit? I hope you understand what I mean. Good luck on your journey!
 
You would advertise the 1X version and not advertise the 2x or 3x versions

Are they on one product page? because I have an item that has a pack of 3 5 7 etc and they are on google shopping ads as different ads I guess because they are different SKU? but it's just one product page in my case
 
Heard a lot about Charlie's course especially the 2.0 glad you took action

Yeah, so basically each has its own page, but the SKUs are different and they are treated as a separate product by Google Feed App.
 
Like has been said then, just advertise the 1x as you can exclude the other ones in google shopping ads
 
In product groups you can exclude the other ones
