I planned for nearly 3-4 years already to sell a specific product from china on shopify via google ads accounts.

I picked already the niche which is in the tech and has a price range of $50-150 with a margin between 50-100%.

Targeted countries are USA and CA.

So currently i ordered a webdesign for that shopify page and added already first products.

However what i found out is since its a small niche the avaibablity of products is not so great anymore like it was 3-4 years ago.
Second issue is the long delivery time from china.
It says 30 days but i ordered myself one for testing purpose and it come to europe within 18 days.

Another issue now is that i'm forced to buy from many diffrent aliexpress sellers as there it seems are no more big sellers with stacke of all products of that niche.I was thinking about a dropship company however i could not find one which would be working well and more important increase delivery speed.

Maybe any suggesstions ?

So once the webdesign will be ready i will start google adwords promotion on youtube with a short clip of 15 sec advertisement of the product i'm selling.
The niche i'm targeting has a lot of views and not many advertisers so i hope the price will be decent per 1k views.

I bought also a highly targeted keyword domain for that product which should be easy to remember.

I hope once i get everything fixed and optimized the delivery i will find some big channels to partner with as this would be the final goal like the wallets companies are doing it to have partnerships with youtube channels which do not have many of advertisement because of the content they publish.


What i need to do now is to find out how to deal with taxes when selling to US/CA citizens when running a company outside the US and find a good payment solution for shopify since shopify payment is not supporting my companies location for their payment gateway.
 
Got an awesome 15 sec ad done.
Got also first google ads account ready to start promoting.
Now i just wait till the webdesign is finished and start and see first results

Will split the advertising into two ways

One is instream at other peoples video clips related to my niche and the second one will be
In Feed Video Ads to promote a videoclip from that niche which will include my advertisement in the beginning and at the end.

The second part will be interresting to see if such a video can go viral this way and create additional customers at no additional cost.

You can try CJDROPSHIPPING. Delivery time here is very short
The problem with CJdropshipping is 90% of my products are not listed there.
Also when asking to find supplier 98% they can't find supplier and when they luckily find one their price is higher than at aliexpress.

Would it be possible to bundle packages from aliexpress sellers at CJdropshipping as one package ?

These are the basic aspects one needs to be SURE of, BEFORE doing the following :-
ordered a webdesign for that shopify page and added already first products.
Now, you need to research for some new product(s), ensure availability and fast enough shipments and then proceed for the website, etc.
 
Nice thought and new beginning!.
Good Luck buddy on your go and also secure everything on your side from the initial stage!

So supplier expecially the big ones dropped massivly.Actually there is no more big one.
The item is in my personl opinion at a specific group in the US or CA in high demand.
That niche is getting tons of views but are not advertisers friendly so they have not much ads which opens big opportunity.
Shipping is officaly 30 days from aliexpress which is long but you have to start with something.
I made myself a test purchase and it was only half the time.

2 Problems i'm currently facing is that because of all these small suppliers i will be forced sending the goods individually even soneome orders muliple products which will be a bit of pain.

I watched at dropshipping companies who does packaging and shipping but they basicly want to buy the products direct from their own supplier,The issue here noone can find a supplier and i tried many diffrent dropshipping companies so the only company which would help me realisticly would be one accepting products from aliexpress sellers,repacking it and sending in a quicker way.
 
focus on SEO by creating content for your blog pages so you don't have to use paid traffic for your product.
 
I hate SEO.Longterm work where you need to compete against everyone and google can destroy your business anytime
I prefer paid ads.Instant results and more secure in my opinion
