Hello,

I would like to start a store and sell jewelry from aliexpress by dropshiping. However I have question to users which sell products from aliexpress by FB ads. I would like to ask about the cost structure. How should it be to make the business profitable ? Does anyone can tell me how many percent of the costs should I spend on product, FB ads and profit ? My product costs from $3 to $5 . How much I have to spend money to FB ads and profit ?
 
start with $50 a day on FB. Testing 4-5 ad sets with 2-3 ads each. Then optimize. CHeckout verumecom on youtube, they have amazing free tutorials.
 
Before spending money on paid traffic that will not work because of the product, try ig promo, group posting to validate the product first.
 
You will most probably run at a loss on a $3-$5 product sale, so are you looking at it as a loss leader so you can pitch them other products later down the line?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer
My general rule of thumb (and I dont even do dropshipping, but DO facebook/Youtube PPC ads) is to source products at 10% of my retail price to the consumer. So if I sources a product that cost me $5, I would retail it at $50. If I cant build enough value via marketing to justify that $50, then I look for a different product. Thats just me, I know for a fact many people are OK with much skinnier margins (and therefore higher product costs).

Just my own opinion. And BTW, if you dropship you are going to find the challenges are not in the marketing and making sales, even profitable sales. Thats the easy part. The difficult part is logistics, scaling the fulfillment - when dropshipping you have zero control over the fulfillment - I have never event attempted it, but I have been told it can be a nightmare.

On Ebay, several sellers sell the same jewelry and have a good profit. So I would like to start a jewelry store, although I do not know the cost calculation and I was asked on the forum for people with experience to add their opinion.

Thanks for the opinion. If you are right then I need to look for some other item much more products to sell

Get your numbers figured out first.
 
Thank you for your advice @Crazycam727 . I wrote in the first post that I have never done FB ADS and I would like to know what the cost plan looks like so that someone could give an example. Your advice helped me a lot :D

No problem :)
I’m not sure what you mean by cost plan. The cost per purchase will vary depending on a bunch of things, ad optimization, landing page structure, price of product etc.

It’s an impossible question to answer.
Just test for yourself and see

The answer is possible. And an answer like "test for yourself and see" does not bring anything for me. I don't know if you understand my question. I can explain it to you again. The cost of the product (product + shipping) will be between $ 3 to $ 5. I wanted to promote the product through FB Ads (I have never done it) I do not know how much money I have to spend to sell such a product. That's why I asked a question on the forum so that people with more experience could add their opinions. Perhaps someone on the forum promoted a similar product of similar value and is able to say, for example, how much he spent on FBs Ads to sell one product and what profit he made from it. That's all.
 
Your ROAS should be higher than > product cost + shipping + ad spend
 
spend 50 to get some data first,mate.it really hard to tell without it
