First I would like to thanks Yarosss for sharing his journey (http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...76532-my-aliexpress-dropshipping-journey.html)
And now pardon me for my bad English as I am not native speaker. However About one month back I study yarosss journey about AliExpress how he made site using AliPlugin So I decide to give it a shot I am experienced WordPress developer So I decide to go with completely scratch So start developing plugin which fetch AliExpress products, Yes I know about AliPlugin and many others AliExpress affiliate plugin but that doesn't fit with my requirements. Although it took me like 3-4 weeks to develop plugin and 1-2 weeks to setup themes. So basically what I did is following:

  • Research on good niche (not Harry Potter's once that has been used in above journey)
  • Develop Plugin from scratch as I need few advance stuff to be add like.
    • Double the price of current product.
    • Add random value to increase price as regular and used doubled price as sale and represent as discount stuff.
    • Add Simple product & Variable products (things like color & size)
    • Used aliexpress images as I own budget VPS with limited space I can't store all the images so plugin override default image function and get me products images from AliExpress with variables or so.
    • Need Extra descriptions and Images from AliExpress as API won't provide much info.
    • And finally auto posting and updating stuff (but I am doing manually posting often due to limited proxies and avoid anti-bot program)
  • Modified themes Basically I am using Nielsen E-Commerce theme for WordPress I need to modify it a little bit like showing how many % user can get discount instead of on sale tag. Modify to get images from AliExpress and show variation of products.
  • Add Facebook page and now I am buying fake Facebook likes to get some jump start there.
  • Free shipping.

My Future plans

  • Order couple of Premium written articles
  • Buy Few Backlink packages
  • Do some manually seo and promoting via social media
  • And hopefully do some PPC using adwords.

That's pretty much all. I am pretty much open for suggestions. If you like to review my site please pm me.

Thanks!

Best of luck, will be interesting to read.

Going to have other methods of traffic or just all organic?
I believe Harry Potter guy has social media to help direct traffic too.

yes I agreed! I am buying few fiverr gigs to get me likes on facebook (I know mostly fakes) but its helps.
 
UPDATE:

I contact Yaross and get some of his advice according to him site looks nice. but slow and change colors a bit. I have fixed those issues. I have also check my Google Analytics, its seems my site getting some ranking in keywords (not good but enough) currently I am focusing on Instagram to get some traffic. still no sale though.
 
UPDATE:
Added 50+ Products setup tumblr account, now its time to get serious in the game and promote products, my plan is to use tumblr to promote.
