0:00In the last few years, drop shipping on
0:01Amazon has changed a lot. And in today's
0:04video, I'm going to show you exactly how
0:06you can get started in the easiest and
0:08quickest way possible. Now, after
0:10selling online for the past 7 years and
0:12making hundreds of thousands of dollars
0:13across multiple platforms, I've learned
0:16what works and what doesn't
0:19new tools are actually worth your time
0:21and which ones are actually necessary at
0:24this point. So, today we're going to be
0:25putting our Amazon drop shipping
0:27business on autopilot from the get-go
0:30using AutoDS. And we're also going to be
0:32going through the entire process on how
0:33you can start selling your products on
0:35Amazon, creating an offer that even
0:36Amazon can't refuse. And it's all going
0:38to start with us setting up our Amazon
0:40seller account. Okay, so the very first
0:42thing that we're going to need to do
0:43when starting our new Amazon drop
0:45shipping business from AutoDS is going
0:47to be to create an Amazon central
0:50account. Now, it's very important to
0:51note that if you have already a regular
0:53Amazon account, like the one that you
0:55use to shop, that has absolutely nothing
0:57to do with the Amazon seller account.
1:00So, even if you are registered as an
1:02Amazon buyer, you are going to have to
1:03create a second account that's going to
1:05be specifically to sell on the platform.
1:08And in order to register for that, just
1:10head on over to seller
1:11central.amazon.com.
1:12Now, that link is going to be in the
1:14cheat sheet. If you want to know how you
1:15can get that, just wait a little bit
1:17longer. I'll tell you exactly how you
1:18can get it with all of the information
1:20that I'm giving you in this video. So
1:22that way it can make it a little bit
1:23easier for you to follow along through
1:24as well. Now, once you're in here and
1:26you go ahead and you click on sign up,
1:28there's going to be a few things that
1:29you need to go over. Now, I don't have
1:30the option to be able to show you
1:32because I'm already registered, but
1:33there are going to be a few things that
1:35you are going to have to do. So, first
1:36and foremost, you're going to have to go
1:38ahead and sign up with either an email
1:39or with a phone number. After that,
1:41you're going to be asked what kind of
1:43account are you? So, you're going to
1:44have to choose what kind of business you
1:46are. So, are you going to be an
1:48individual business or are you going to
1:49be a sole proprietor? Now, that simply
1:52means are you doing things yourself or
1:54are you going to be behind an LLC for
1:56example? Then after you choose that, you
1:58are going to have to go through some
2:00identity verification. So, you are going
2:01to have to have handy either something
2:03like a license or a passport. Now, once
2:06you're going through that process,
2:07there's going to be a few things that
2:08you might have to do like let's say for
2:10example a quick video call. That is
2:12going to be optional. That's going to be
2:14completely up to Amazon's discretion.
2:16But just so you know, some people do get
2:18selected to do this just to have further
2:20verification. For that, all you're going
2:22to have to do is make sure that you have
2:24the papers that you're submitting to be
2:25verified. Just have them with you. And
2:28all you have to do is jump on a quick
2:29video call simply to just prove who you
2:31are and show that the papers are real.
2:33Now, if you're working as a business and
2:36not as an individual seller, then you
2:38are going to have to provide something
2:39like, let's say, a business registration
2:41or some sort of proof of the business
2:42itself. just to make sure that it is a
2:44legitimate business. And no matter what
2:46kind of business you are registering as,
2:48a couple of the documents that you're
2:49going to need are going to be for one,
2:50proof of residency. So you're going to
2:52have to show proof that you live in the
2:54place that you're saying that you live.
2:55And two, it's going to be just an ID.
2:57Again, whether it be a passport or a
2:59state identification. Then you're going
3:01to be prompted with two different seller
3:03accounts. So the first one is going to
3:05be an individual account and then the
3:07second is going to be a professional
3:08account. There's a pretty big difference
3:10between the two and we're going to stick
3:12to the professional account for this
3:13one. So the seller account simply what
3:15that means is that you're not going to
3:16have something like let's say a monthly
3:18fee, but your account is also going to
3:19be very restricted. So for every single
3:21sale that you get or every transaction
3:23that you make, you are going to be
3:24charged $1 and you're not going to have
3:26access to different tools to help you
3:28automate your business. Now since we are
3:30going to be drop shipping from AutoDS to
3:32Amazon, we are going to need that
3:35automation. So we're going to go with
3:36the professional account. Now, the
3:38professional account is going to cost
3:39you $40 a month, but this is going to
3:41give you access to tons of tools that
3:43are really going to help you start and
3:45scale your Amazon business pretty much
3:47in no time and pretty effortlessly. So,
3:49once you are registered, the first thing
3:51that you're going to see is going to be
3:52this dashboard. This dashboard is going
3:54to be your seller dashboard. Here you
3:56have a lot of different pieces of
3:58information. You're going to have
3:59information on your business, the
4:01different products that you're currently
4:02selling, a supply chain, your orders
4:05that have come through, stuff for your
4:07marketing, your finances, so how much
4:09have you made, how much have you paid,
4:10[music] and information on your
4:12customers. Now, this is a brand new
4:14account, so this is one that I just
4:15started a couple of days ago. So, it's
4:18still getting warmed up, but it's
4:20perfect because it's perfect to show you
4:22how simple it is to get everything
4:23started. Now, in order to start selling
4:25on Amazon, one thing that's absolutely
4:27crucial is going to be having to win the
4:30buy box. If we can't win the buy box,
4:32then we're not really going to be making
4:34many sales. So, what exactly is the buy
4:36box? Now, if we go to Amazon and we look
4:38for something like, let's say, LED
4:40strips,
4:42if we go into any one of these products,
4:44let's look for one that's not Prime. So,
4:46take for example, this one right here.
4:49So, this one right here is not sold by
4:50Prime. So, this is something that we're
4:52going to easily be able to enter the buy
4:53box for. Now, what the buy box is is
4:55just literally this box right here where
4:58you can buy, where it says add to cart
4:59and where it says buy now. Now, the buy
5:01box is going to be the offer that the
5:04customer sees to make a purchase. So,
5:0599% of the time when somebody sees a
5:07product like this and they think, "Oh,
5:09this is exactly what I'm looking for."
5:10What the customer is going to do is
5:11they're going to click over here,
5:12whether it be add to cart or buy now,
5:15and they're going to make the purchase.
5:16And then Amazon is going to select the
5:18winner of the buy box to fulfill that
5:20order. And in this case, the winner of
5:22this buy box is val and fulfilled by
5:25Amazon. Now, there are a few other
5:27sellers. In this case, it doesn't look
5:29like there are any other sellers. So,
5:31take for example this PLA for 3D
5:33printer. If we look here at the buy box
5:35and then we scroll down, we're going to
5:37see here other sellers on Amazon. And
5:39then if we click on this, we're going to
5:40see all of the other sellers that are
5:42selling this same product. So, we can
5:44see here that the different offers that
5:46we have are used and like new, but this
5:48could be just completely different
5:50sellers with different prices or
5:52different shipping options. And the
5:54seller at the very top, this is going to
5:56be the winner of the buy box, the one
5:57that has the better or the best offer.
6:00That's going to be who has the best
6:01pricing and who has the best shipping.
6:04Now, if you are one of the other sellers
6:06on Amazon, like the ones that are listed
6:08here, you still have an option to make a
6:10sale, but the chances are reduced
6:12severely because most people don't
6:14actually go to this section to look for
6:16other sellers. Most people are just
6:18going to buy it directly from this buy
6:19box. And that's why that's where we want
6:21to be because we're going to be
6:23essentially the default option for
6:25anybody who's trying to purchase any
6:27product on Amazon. So before we start
6:29getting into actual products that we can
6:31sell and looking for products to sell,
6:33the very first thing that we need to
6:34talk about is going to be the products
6:36that we cannot sell. So one hard rule of
6:39thumb is avoid anything that is
6:41copyright or trademarked. Apple, Nike,
6:45let's say if you're selling toys, right?
6:47Pokemon, Beyblades, things like that,
6:49established brands, real products that
6:51have trademarks behind them, that have
6:53names, stuff that's recognizable like
6:55that. do not sell this. One, because we
6:58don't have the rights to, but two,
6:59because we're never going to have the
7:00best offer for this. The ones that are
7:02going to have the best offer for these
7:03kinds of products are going to be Amazon
7:04themselves or the actual vendors or the
7:08manufacturers. Now, something that's
7:09very important to note before we start
7:11getting into our product research is
7:13that we're going to be looking for
7:14products to sell that are not available
7:16through Prime. Because if we're trying
7:18to compete with Amazon themselves to win
7:20the buy box, we're never going to win.
7:22We're going to be sourcing our products
7:24through suppliers and private suppliers.
7:26While they do have fast shipping and
7:27great prices, we're not going to have
7:29the option to be able to provide
7:30something like twoday shipping. And that
7:32alone, the fact that these are Amazon
7:34Prime products, that's going to make
7:35Amazon the default winner for these pie
7:37boxes. So, we're going to be avoiding
7:39those kinds of products. But what we are
7:41going to be looking for is going to be
7:42more general products. Products that of
7:45course have a wow factor. Products that
7:47can solve some sort of problem in
7:49people's lives, make things easier for
7:51them, and most importantly, unbranded
7:54products. We're going to sell products
7:56that don't have a name brand behind
7:58them. Now, to get started with our
7:59product research and finding products
8:00that are actually going to sell on
8:02Amazon, the first way that I'm going to
8:03start is going to be through the AutoDS
8:05handpicked product section. So, if we go
8:06to adods.com and we check over here
8:08where the handpicked products are, we're
8:10going to see tons of different products
8:11that are currently trending and actually
8:13making sales, products that people are
8:15looking for. Now, from here, we can also
8:18find the types of products that we were
8:19talking about earlier, unbranded
8:21products that are going to give us the
8:22opportunity to be able to sell these and
8:23win the buy box. So, let's just start
8:25looking for a few different things here.
8:27And just so you know, there are going to
8:28be a few different categories that we
8:29don't want to get on or that we don't
8:31want to sell or that we're going to need
8:32approval for on Amazon. those products
8:35we're not going to be selling them. But
8:37as we're doing our product research,
8:38we're going to be able to see which one
8:39of these products are going to be the
8:41ones that we're eligible to and not
8:42eligible to sell. I'll show you in just
8:44a second because as we do this product
8:46research, Amazon's essentially going to
8:48tell us what we can and can't do. Now,
8:49there's already three different products
8:51that I'm looking at here that are
8:53fitting my criteria. For one, I'm
8:55looking at this one over here, the
8:56wireless electric vegetable chopper, and
8:58this little spice rack ferris wheel.
9:00These two are pretty good. So, let's go
9:02ahead and open those in a new tab. Let's
9:04scroll down and let's look for one more.
9:06We're going to start off with three
9:07different products and then we're going
9:08to continue if those three are not
9:09eligible for us to sell. So, let's see
9:11what else we can find. Okay, actually I
9:13found this one right here and this one
9:14looks pretty cool. This is a glass purse
9:16cup and this is pretty cool. This looks
9:18pretty interesting. All right, so if we
9:19click into the product itself, we can
9:20see that as far as the saturation,
9:22there's not a lot of people that are
9:23selling it. It's currently at a 40
9:26between 40 and 100. So, it's a little
9:27bit busy. And as far as social media or
9:30the engagement score, there's a lot of
9:32buzz around this product on social
9:33media. So this right here means that
9:34there's a lot of people that are
9:36actually interacting with the videos,
9:37making purchases, and there's generally
9:40good sentiment towards this product on
9:42social media. So from here, we want to
9:44go ahead and check out the other two
9:45products and make sure that we're at
9:46about the same score. This right here is
9:49perfect. Look at this. Nobody's selling
9:50this just yet. I'm putting you on
9:52something right now that you can start
9:54to sell immediately. This has no
9:56saturation. So, we're going to
9:58definitely go look into this one. Now,
9:59the engagement score is at 100. So, this
10:02means that people are loving it on
10:03social media, but not too many people,
10:05if any, are really selling it. And then,
10:07as far as our vegetable chopper, we have
10:09an engagement score of 50. So, it's
10:11pretty moderate. But then the saturation
10:13score is also pretty low. So, this is
10:14also a very high opportunity product.
10:16So, right off the bat through the out of
10:18DS handpicked product section, we found
10:19three perfect products that we could
10:22have the potential to sell. Now, what we
10:24want to do is we want to start looking
10:25for these products on Amazon to see how
10:27much they're actually selling for. So,
10:28there's a few different ways we can do
10:30this. For example, for one, we can
10:31simply just rightclick and do search
10:33image with Google Lens. We if we click
10:35on that, it's going to bring up this
10:36little sidebar over here. And then we
10:38can look for Amazon. So, the perfect
10:40example is actually right here, the very
10:41first one. If we click on that, it's
10:43going to take us to the Amazon listing,
10:45which we can see that this person is
10:46selling two of these for $20.99 with
10:50$6.99 shipping. So, in total, they're
10:52selling it for about $28. Now, this is
10:54being sold by Jen Wow. And then if we
10:57look at the one piece, they're selling
10:58it for $12.99 with $7.99 shipping. So,
11:01it's about $20. And our source for this
11:04is how much through Amazon? So, we're
11:06able to purchase this through AutoDS for
11:08$16.99. So, we can source it for just
11:10about $3 less, but that's not going to
11:12be enough for us to be able to cover all
11:15of our expenses and actually make a
11:16decent profit. So, what we want to do
11:18here is we want to look for it on
11:20AliExpress and see if we could find a
11:22similar product through a different
11:24source. Now, we can use AliExpress for
11:26this. But another option that we would
11:28also have is to import this product to
11:29our store and then we can source it from
11:31different suppliers. Now, I am going to
11:33show you how to do that a little bit
11:34later on in the video. But for now,
11:36let's just go ahead and see if we could
11:37find it through AliExpress through a
11:38different supplier with fast shipping.
11:40So, that's another thing that's very
11:41important. So, let's see what we can
11:42find
11:43>> a few moments later. So, I actually just
11:46found two different ones. Let's go ahead
11:47and look at these two. So, this one is
11:50really usually $22, but they're selling
11:53it at $10.81. We don't want to go with
11:55the sale price because this means that
11:57only the first one that we offer or our
11:59first sale is going to be priced at
12:01this. Everything else is going to be at
12:0322 or after the sale ends, it's going to
12:05go back up to $22. So, we would be
12:07losing money in that case. So, we don't
12:09want to go with that. And this one, same
12:11thing. $12, but it has $24 as the
12:14regular price, so we don't want to go
12:15with that either. So, this product
12:17doesn't seem to be a good one for us to
12:18sell at the moment. So, let's go ahead
12:20and look for a different one. Let's
12:21continue on to our Ferris wheel spice
12:23rack. Now, for this, let's do the same
12:24thing. Let's search the image with
12:26Google Lens and let's see if we could
12:27find a cheaper price somewhere else.
12:29It's currently at $32.99.
12:32How much can we find it on Amazon? It's
12:34this one over here. So, this seems to be
12:37selling at an average of about $30.
12:41Yeah. So, $30 over here, $31 for this
12:44one. Now, in between all of these, the
12:46ones that we would have to enter the buy
12:48box for would be this one right here.
12:50And there are a few other similar ones
12:51which look to be the exact same ones
12:53through Amazon Prime. But if we click on
12:55this one, we can see that the seller for
12:57this is Himalayas. And they're currently
13:00selling at $29.99 with free shipping.
13:02So, we would have to beat that. So,
13:03let's see if we can find a better offer
13:06through AliExpress because on AutoDS
13:09it's going to be $32.99. Again, we could
13:11probably find a better option later on
13:13once we source the products through
13:15different sellers on AutoDS, but for
13:17now, let's see if we could find it
13:18cheaper just anywhere else. Now, I found
13:21it here on Alibaba for 960 and
13:23AliExpress for 1640. So, let's see how
13:26these are. So, Alibaba has a minimum
13:27order quantity of two. So, that's
13:28definitely not going to work. And then
13:30if we go to AliExpress, it shows that
13:32the original price is $136. That's a
13:36little out there. So that's definitely
13:37not going to be it. Another thing that
13:39we can do is we can simply just take a
13:41screenshot of the product itself. Go
13:44back to AliExpress and then do a search
13:46by image. So we can upload a photo.
13:49We upload our screenshot and then it's
13:51going to show us all of the different
13:52options that we have for this product.
13:54Now, the one that looks to be the best
13:57option is going to be this one right
13:58here. So, let's open that one in a new
14:01tab. This one's showing for $5 with $10
14:03regular price. So, let's look at that
14:04one as well. So, the first one is
14:06showing shipping $78. Definitely not.
14:08This one is also showing shipping $43.
14:11Definitely not. Okay, so that one also
14:13didn't seem to be a winner for us. Let's
14:16go ahead and try the vegetable chopper.
14:18If we look for it on Amazon, we can see
14:19that it's currently selling for about
14:21$24.99. $15.99, usually $19. Same here,
14:25$1519. Typical is $15.99. and they are
14:29not Amazon Prime. So, this looks to be a
14:31good option. Let's go ahead and open
14:33this one. Here we have 1519 free
14:36delivery and this is being sold by
14:39Hangda. Okay, so this might be one that
14:42we can potentially start selling
14:43ourselves. So, again, let's do right
14:45click. If it doesn't show you the option
14:47to search with Google Lens, just do a
14:49right click outside of the image itself.
14:51And then you should have the option
14:53here, search this tab with Google Lens.
14:56And then you can choose what you want to
14:59search. So in this case, I'm just going
15:00to look for that. And then here, we're
15:01going to look for the same product that
15:03we were looking for. So let's see if we
15:04find AliExpress on here. I currently
15:06don't see it, but what we can do is we
15:09can over here where it says ask a
15:11follow-up. We can look for AliExpress.
15:13So that way it's going to tie the image
15:15with AliExpress. So it's going to look
15:16for these products through AliExpress.
15:18And right here we have the first one,
15:20which they look to be the same ones. So
15:22let's open up this one.
15:25And this is the same one. This is
15:26running for $14.75 with $2 shipping.
15:29We're not going to be able to be the
15:30best offer in that case. Let's check out
15:32another one. And same thing for this
15:34one. This one's about $22. So, let's see
15:36what else we can do. All right. So, I
15:37did the image search on here. And let's
15:39see if we find a good offer. So, let's
15:42sort it by price. This one looks good.
15:44$8.63. This one's 517.
15:48All right. So, this is $8.63 with $13
15:50shipping. That one's not going to work.
15:51And then if we look at this one, it's
15:53$11 with $5 shipping. Okay, that one's
15:55also not going to work. So,
15:56unfortunately, none of these actually
15:58worked out for us. So, all we have to do
16:00is keep doing a little bit of product
16:02research. And I'm going to keep using
16:03the same method that I just showed you
16:05to look for these products. Now, one
16:07other thing that we can do is go to back
16:10to Amazon and then we're going to look
16:12for new releases. When we look for new
16:14release products, we're going to look
16:16for products that most people aren't
16:17selling just yet. and we might have a
16:19bigger opportunity to jump in there and
16:22get a better offer. So, let's see which
16:24one of these we can sell. So, Stanley,
16:26that's not going to be in our option. A
16:29titanium cutting board. That could
16:30definitely be something that we sell.
16:32Same thing for these overnight oats
16:34containers. Let's open those as well.
16:36And then see what else we have here.
16:37Let's look for two more products that
16:38we're going to look for. So, first we
16:40have this cordless leaf blower. I've
16:42seen tons of these on Tik Tok. And a
16:45fruitfly trap. That's interesting. So,
16:46we have four different products that we
16:48can look for now. So, our titanium
16:49cutting board is currently running for
16:51$40. And I'm pretty sure we could
16:53probably find this a little bit cheaper.
16:54So, let's see what we can do. So, I'm
16:55just going to look for titanium cutting
16:56boards on Amazon itself and see if
16:58there's any other options. The one that
16:59keeps coming up is this one over here,
17:01which is the one that I just saw. So,
17:02let's just go ahead and open up this
17:03one. A new tab. Now, again, I'm going to
17:06search this tab with Google Lens. I'm
17:08going to look for the same exact product
17:09because I want to see if we find the
17:10same product. We can find a very similar
17:12product, but I usually like going for
17:14the exact same one. So, let's see here.
17:16Everything's through Amazon. Let's look
17:18on AliExpress.
17:20Okay, so this actually seems to be a
17:22different type of cutting board that I
17:24didn't see here. So, this is a L-shaped
17:27cutting board. So, let's go ahead and
17:28open up this one. And this looks to be
17:30the exact same one that we were looking
17:32at earlier. Perfect. Okay, so that's
17:34what that is. It's like a little lip.
17:35Okay, cool. So, now we have a few
17:37different sizes. Let's see what they're
17:38looking for here. So, for $40, it's the
17:4120x6 in. And then if we do the
17:43conversion, we're going to be looking at
17:45about 508 mm for 20 in. Now, we're not
17:49seeing the options for any of those. So,
17:50let's see what else they have. So, 20x
17:5316 in. And here they're doing it by cm
17:57with I think this is the width. Okay.
18:00So, let's look for a the 20 in, which
18:03would be 50.8 cm. Now, as far as the
18:06width, these are 2 cm, which would be 20
18:08mm, but it's not showing here. This
18:10seems to be wrong, but that's fine. We
18:12can go ahead and just go by the length
18:13and width. So, we're looking at about
18:1550x 40 cm. Perfect. So, we found this
18:18one here, 40x 50, and it's currently at
18:211762. Okay, so looks like this is also
18:23not another option. This one has
18:26massively huge shipping charges for
18:28whatever reason. So, let me just go
18:29ahead and do a little bit of research
18:30and I'll be right back. Okay, so after a
18:32bit of research, I found this right
18:34here, an electric training dog collar.
18:36Now, the way that I found this is I
18:37actually went back to AutoDS and I went
18:39to the trending product section. So,
18:41what the trending product section is is
18:43it's simply another part of the AutoDS
18:46marketplace where it shows products that
18:48are on the rise. So, they're not
18:50necessarily products that are currently
18:51just going absolutely viral. They're
18:53products that are on their way up and
18:56these are found through the AutoDS AI.
18:59So, we have an AI system that actually
19:01scour the internet and looks for these
19:02kinds of products so that we can get a
19:04heads up on what products are actually
19:06going to be selling in the near future
19:08or again on their way up right now. Now,
19:11on the trending product section, what I
19:12did is over here, I looked through a few
19:14different categories. Ultimately, I went
19:16through pets and then I started looking
19:18to see what we could find through here.
19:20And then I came across this one right
19:22here, the electric training dog collar.
19:24It's currently at $27.30 with free
19:27shipping to the US. And when I looked it
19:29up on Amazon, we can see the same exact
19:32product is running for $61.99
19:35and it's being sold by whoever this is,
19:37Sxdddh ZX. And then if we look at the
19:39reviews over here, it only has about two
19:41reviews and they're five stars. So it
19:43looks like this is something that people
19:44are currently actually looking for and
19:46they're purchasing. Let's just do one
19:48quick verification more.
19:51So if we look at electric dog collar, we
19:53can see that these are products that are
19:55people are actually looking for. So we
19:58have 602 reviews, 20,000 reviews. We
20:01have here 146. So people are actually
20:04actively purchasing these. So the next
20:05step from here now that we actually
20:06found a product that we want to sell is
20:08to see if we're actually eligible to
20:10sell this kind of product. So what we're
20:11going to do is up here on the link,
20:15right? You're going to look for this
20:16number here after the DP. This one right
20:19here. And what this is is this is going
20:21to be the product as this is going to be
20:23the product identification number. Okay?
20:25Okay. So, if we look for it over here in
20:26the search bar, we're going to see here
20:28that this product is the one that came
20:29up. So, perfect. This is the one that
20:31we're looking for. So, now in order to
20:33confirm if we can actually sell this or
20:34not, we're going to go back to our
20:35Amazon seller central and then we're
20:37going to go to the products. We're going
20:39to simply just try to add it. So, under
20:41products, we're going to go to add
20:42products and then here we're going to go
20:44to product IDs and we're going to paste
20:46in our as here. Go ahead and click on
20:49submit. And then this window is going to
20:50open up. And then when this little
20:52window opens up, this is what's going to
20:54tell us whether or not we can sell this
20:55product or not. So right now it's
20:57telling us to select a condition and
20:58sell. Right now it's looking like we're
21:00good to go. But some people might see
21:02something different depending on the
21:03product that you're trying to sell. So
21:05somebody might see that it needs some
21:07sort of approval. And if you do need
21:09approval, then you can go ahead and
21:11submit for the approval if you want. But
21:13I'm looking to get something quick. I'm
21:14looking to get started selling pretty
21:16much immediately. So I don't have time
21:18to be asking for approval. So, if you
21:20see the option to request approval, just
21:23go ahead and skip it and look for
21:24another product. But in this case, we're
21:27going to go ahead and switch this over
21:28to new. We're going to click on sell
21:29this product, and we can officially
21:32enter the buy box for this. Now, this is
21:34very good news. Okay, so when we did go
21:36into it, it is giving us this error
21:37telling us that we haven't sold this
21:39product again, and we would have to
21:40create a new product in order to sell
21:42this. So, that's not what we're looking
21:44to do. So, we're just going to go ahead
21:46and once again look for another product,
21:47and we'll be right back. Okay, so after
21:49a bit of research, I found one product
21:51that I think is going to be perfect to
21:52start selling on Amazon, and that's
21:54going to be a grip strength trainer. And
21:55the way that I found it is I simply just
21:57went back to the marketplace. I started
21:59looking through the different suppliers.
22:01I specifically looked through, in this
22:02case, the AliExpress suppliers that we
22:04have on here, and I found it over here.
22:06So, once I clicked into it, we have the
22:08information on the product itself. It
22:09has free shipping and it's $32.98.
22:12Now, when I looked it up on Amazon
22:14itself, I found here that it's being
22:16sold for $439.
22:18And then when I took the as and I
22:21chucked it into Amazon over here, it
22:24pulled up the product. It's showing the
22:25lowest price is $442.
22:28And then when I click on sell this
22:29product, it took us to the ad offer
22:32page. So there's no pop-ups. It's not
22:34requiring us to apply to sell. So here
22:36we have the opportunity to actually sell
22:38this product and undercut the current
22:40seller by even $1 to $2 and we'll be
22:43able to win that buy box ourselves. Now,
22:45we can source this product for $32.98
22:48and the current offer is $44.442. So,
22:51let's just go ahead and do some quick
22:52maths. So, $44.442 minus how much are we
22:55sourcing it for? $32.98 with free
22:57shipping. We are making about $144 per
23:00sale. Now, we're going to make a little
23:01bit less than this because we're going
23:02to be selling it for $1 to $2 less. So,
23:05we'll be making about $9 per sale. But,
23:07what we'll be able to do afterwards is
23:09we'll be able to start looking for more
23:10suppliers that can give us a better
23:12price or better offer on this. so we can
23:14make a few extra bucks. So now let's go
23:16ahead and continue with actually selling
23:18this product. What we're going to do
23:19here is we're going to fill out
23:21everything that it's asking us for. So
23:22the audience is going to be sell on
23:24Amazon, which is going to be the
23:25default. We're not going to be selling
23:26it from business to business, although
23:28you can if you prefer if you want to.
23:30This would be selling on Amazon business
23:31accounts. It's going to ask you if you
23:32want to sell on other marketplaces.
23:34We're not going to touch this. The skew
23:35we're going to leave as is. And the
23:37fulfillment channel, this is one that's
23:38going to be very important. So we're not
23:40going to be using Fulfilled by Amazon.
23:42We're going to be using the merchant
23:43fulfilled option. I want to ship this
23:45item myself. Then it's going to ask us
23:47what our quantity is. So in this case,
23:49we can just go ahead and put let's say
23:50five of them. It's really going to
23:51depend on what our suppliers have on
23:53hand. Then we can set our offer. So
23:55currently the lowest price is 44.442.
23:57We're going to go ahead and undercut it.
23:59We're going to put 42 42 even. Actually,
24:02you know what? Let's make it even
24:03better. Let's do $42.99. So that way we
24:05can make 99 cents more. So we are going
24:07to have the lowest price, which means
24:09we'll be winning the buy box for this.
24:11Now, the item condition is going to be
24:12new. And then we're going to have to
24:14create a shipping template. So, the
24:16shipping template is one that I already
24:17have created. But for this, what you do
24:19is you run to your Amazon seller
24:20dashboard. Then, on your seller
24:22dashboard, you can look for shipping
24:24template. And then this option over
24:25here, manage shipping templates. You can
24:27go ahead and click on this. Then, it's
24:29going to give you the direct link to it.
24:30So, it'll take you to the shipping
24:32settings, which is over here. You're
24:34going to see your shipping templates.
24:35And from here, you're simply going to
24:37set where you're going to be shipping
24:39from. Now, this is going to be very
24:41dependent on your suppliers. You don't
24:43want to put that you're shipping from,
24:44let's say, Denver when your product is
24:45actually coming from China. You want to
24:47make sure that your shipping templates,
24:49they match your shipping suppliers. And
24:51the good thing about this is that you
24:52can go ahead and create multiple
24:53templates for multiple suppliers or
24:55multiple regions, and then you're able
24:57to select them through here. Now, since
24:58we are going to be using automation for
25:00this, and because we do have the
25:01professional plan, we're going to be
25:03able to automate our product importing.
25:05and it's going to be a lot easier than,
25:06let's say, going through all of these
25:08different steps and getting everything
25:09done that way manually. So, it's fine if
25:12you want to do things manually. If you
25:13do one to two, maybe three or four
25:15products a day, then you're not going to
25:16take a long time uploading products. But
25:18if you start uploading multiple products
25:20a day and also when it comes to
25:21fulfilling your orders, if you're
25:23fulfilling multiple orders a day, then
25:25it is going to start to become very
25:26timeconuming. And one of the best things
25:28that you can do in order to start
25:29scaling your business is to automate all
25:31of the repetitive tasks. product
25:34importing, pricing your products,
25:35fulfilling your orders. These are all
25:37things that need to be automated in
25:39order for you to be able to scale
25:40efficiently. Now, I did promise you a
25:41cheat sheet with everything that I'm
25:42talking about in this video. And if you
25:44want access to that, just go ahead and
25:45drop a comment with the hashtag autods
25:47to Amazon and let me know what your
25:49takeaway was from this video. If I see
25:51that you went ahead and did that, I'll
25:52reply back with a link to the sheet. All
25:54right, let's continue. So, what we're
25:56going to do is we're going to go back to
25:57AutoDS. By the way, if you want to check
25:58out AutoDS, the link to it is going to
25:59be down in the description below, and it
26:01is going to be in the cheat sheet as
26:02well. So, make sure you check that out
26:03so that way you can take advantage of
26:04the current trial period. And once you
26:07sign up, you're simply going to go ahead
26:08and click on add store. I'm going to
26:10click on Amazon. Go ahead and continue.
26:12It's going to ask us for our store name.
26:15So, for this, I'm going to put my Amazon
26:17store. And then the marketplace is going
26:20to be wherever it is that you're
26:21selling. So, for me, I'm going to be
26:23selling in the US. I'm going to go ahead
26:25and click on add store. Then, it's going
26:26to take us to our Amazon dashboard. And
26:29on here, we're simply going to go ahead
26:31and confirm. Now, it's going to share
26:33data from our Amazon account to our
26:35AutoDS account. And then, if we click
26:37back into it, we're going to see here we
26:38have my Amazon store. We can go ahead
26:40and update. And this is where we're
26:42going to be uploading our products to.
26:44So, now what I want to do is I want to
26:45go ahead and take this link. And I'm
26:47going to go back to out of DS. I'm going
26:49to go ahead and click on add products.
26:50I'm going to do single product. And it's
26:52going to ask us for the AS. So, we can
26:54go ahead and paste in our link. It's
26:56going to delete everything else from it.
26:57and it's going to keep the as itself.
26:59And then it's going to ask us for our
27:00supplier URL or the product ID where it
27:02is that we're going to be purchasing
27:04this product from or sourcing it. So for
27:05this, what we're going to do is we're
27:06going to go ahead and find the listing
27:08that we just had, which is this one over
27:10here. And we can either take the whole
27:11link or we can just take the product ID
27:13over here. Go ahead and copy it and
27:17paste it into here. Now, from here,
27:19we're going to go ahead and add as a
27:21draft, and it's going to add it to our
27:23draft section. Now, the other option
27:24that you have is to simply find the
27:26product through the AutoDS supplier that
27:27we just had, and just do the import as
27:30draft and edit manually. Go ahead and
27:31click on that. It's going to ask us for
27:33the AS, which was the one that we just
27:35had earlier.
27:37It's going to ask us for the AS. So, we
27:39just paste it in here and click on done.
27:41Now, after it gets added to our draft,
27:42we're going to go ahead and see it here.
27:44And we're going to be able to switch a
27:46few of the different things. We can't
27:47change everything such as the title or
27:49the brand because this is already
27:51hardcoded and set by Amazon. What we can
27:53do, however, is change the shipping
27:55methods. Now, for this, I don't suggest
27:57doing cheapest or fastest. Just keep it
27:59at cheapest with tracking. So that way,
28:02we can get guaranteed a tracking number,
28:04which is what all our customers are
28:05going to need. If we do cheapest, we
28:07might not get a tracking number. If we
28:09do fastest with tracking, we're probably
28:11going to be spending a lot more than the
28:12product is probably even worth in just
28:14shipping. So, keep it at cheapest with
28:17tracking. And as far as our monitoring,
28:19we're going to keep stock monitoring,
28:21price monitoring, and auto order all on.
28:23The reason for this is because this is
28:24going to ensure that we don't sell a
28:26product that's not in stock. Now, you
28:28remember how when we looked at this one
28:31over here at the Amazon import, we're
28:33asked how many we had in quantity. So,
28:34we just put five. Well, what the stock
28:36monitoring is going to do is it's going
28:38to ensure that our stock is always
28:39available. So, if we have just one or
28:41two in stock, it might just show it as
28:43out of stock just in case somebody makes
28:45a purchase. That's the way that I have
28:46it set up. I'll show you how to set all
28:47of that up in just a few minutes. Now,
28:49besides that, we have our description.
28:51Again, we can't really change any of
28:52this because this is hardcoded through
28:54Amazon, but just so you know, this is
28:56where all the information is. And then
28:57we have our product over here. So, what
29:00we're going to do is we're going to
29:00click on edit, and we're going to set
29:02our offer on here. Now, through here, we
29:06can set our different fees. We can set
29:07our profit, and we can set our selling
29:09price. Now, our fees are typically going
29:12to be about 15% on average as the
29:16highest fee on Amazon. So, Amazon's
29:19highest fees are going to be maxing out
29:21at 15%. It can be less, but I always
29:24like to set the fee percentage at the
29:26max. And if it is less, then we just
29:28make a couple of extra bucks. Now, what
29:29I want to do is I also want to ensure
29:31that our selling price is what we had
29:32set earlier. So, we had said that we
29:34were going to sell it at how much?
29:35$42.99. So, if we switch this over to
29:38$42.99, we're going to see that our
29:40profit drops to 7.82% and we're going to
29:43be making just about $2.65 per sale.
29:46Now, we don't have to worry about that
29:47just yet because at the end of the day,
29:48we are going to be looking for better
29:49suppliers to help us out with better
29:51profits. Now, again, this is assuming
29:54that our fees are 15%. It can be a lot
29:57less. It really depends on the category
29:59of product that we're selling. Now, if
30:01we look here on the automation, we can
30:03go ahead and click on add automation,
30:04and it's going to take us to this page
30:06over here. This is under the settings
30:08under automations. And if we add an
30:10automation, this is basically going to
30:12adjust our pricing to find that sweet
30:14spot. Let's just do this as a test. So,
30:16let's do test automation. We're going to
30:18find our base selling price. Go ahead
30:21and click on next. And then it's going
30:22to ask us a few questions. So when the
30:25number of sales is higher than one every
30:27let's say 1 day, we can set the price by
30:30raising it by a certain percentage up to
30:33a limit of let's say 10%. So we can
30:35raise our price by 1% up to a limit of
30:3910% max that we're raising it. And same
30:42thing for the actual product price in
30:43terms of the dollar amount. Now if we
30:45click on next, it's also going to do the
30:48same for the opposite. So let's say if
30:50our number of sales is lower than let's
30:52say two sales every 5 days. We can then
30:56decrease the price by let's do something
30:58a lot smaller. Let's say.5% up to a
31:01limit of 3% because I don't want to go
31:03down too much. Same thing goes for the
31:06dollar amount. Now when we hit next
31:07we'll be able to assign the different
31:08products to this automation. And we can
31:10simply click on I will assign products
31:12later and then we'll assign the products
31:13to our automation a little bit later.
31:15The reason that the Amazon product isn't
31:17showing up just now is because the
31:19Amazon product is under our draft
31:21section rather than our products and
31:23already set live. So, if we do go back
31:25here, we're going to go ahead and check
31:26out the variations.
31:35Let's go ahead and set our product
31:36again. So, we can set the automations on
31:38here. So, we can put it as test just to
31:40start testing our prices. But for now,
31:42I'm going to leave it at no automation
31:43and then click on save. So, we have our
31:46new price set. We have the different
31:47images. These again, we can't really add
31:49or edit. And from here, we're pretty
31:52much good to go. So, we can go ahead and
31:54click on save and import. And then the
31:56product is going to be imported to our
31:57Amazon dashboard. So, let's just give it
31:59a quick minute. And here we have the
32:02confirmation that the product has been
32:03uploaded. So, here we have the buy
32:05price, we have the sell price, we have
32:06how much we're going to be making in
32:07profit. Again, right now it's not that
32:09high, but what we're going to do is
32:10we're going to request sourcing so we
32:12can find better products or we can find
32:14better offers. Now, for this, you can do
32:17this either directly through here or you
32:19can do it once you get your first order.
32:21My suggestion is to wait until you get
32:23your first order because that way you
32:25can request sourcing for completely
32:26free. If you do it through here and you
32:28request a sourcing through the products
32:29page, it is going to cost you an AI
32:31credit. Now, if you have AI credits and
32:34you want to just do it now, by all
32:35means, but I'm just going to wait till I
32:36get my first order. Let's cut it at that
32:38and let's see what this looks like cuz I
32:40don't remember what this looks like. And
32:40if it's good, we'll keep it. If not,
32:42we'll remove it. But just so that way
32:43you see what it looks like, let's go
32:45ahead and click on request sourcing. You
32:47see here, it's going to charge us one
32:49auto orderer credit. But if we already
32:51have an order and we do it through the
32:52orders page, it's going to be for free
32:53and it's going to be processed a lot
32:55faster. But again, let's just go ahead
32:56and proceed with the sourcing just so
32:58you can see what it looks like. And then
32:59it's going to look for a few different
33:00sources for the same product. Okay, so
33:03it came up with a few search results and
33:05these all don't seem to be exactly what
33:07we're looking for. What it did is it did
33:09a visual search and it's not really what
33:12we needed. So what we can do in this
33:13case is we can request manual sourcing.
33:16And what will happen here is that this
33:18product is going to be sent out to all
33:19of the different autos suppliers. And
33:21any supplier that's offering the same
33:23product, they'll go ahead and send us
33:25their offer. And then from there, we can
33:26go ahead and choose which one [music] we
33:28want to go with. So you can see here
33:30that the sourcing status is currently in
33:31progress and within 24 to 48 hours we
33:34should have a few different options to
33:36choose from with some better pricing.
33:38But now if we go to our Amazon seller
33:40dashboard and we click on our products,
33:44we're going to see here that we have our
33:47product, our grip strength trainer. Now
33:49it is missing our offer. So we can
33:51simply just go ahead and click on add
33:52missing offer details. It's going to
33:53take us to this page here. Let's go
33:55ahead and do the same thing. Click on
33:56add. And now it already has our price.
33:58We have it set at $42.99. That's what we
34:00had set it over at AutoDS with. And it
34:02is showing that we do have the lowest
34:04price. So, that's good on that part. And
34:06all we really have to do is go ahead and
34:07scroll down to the bottom and then
34:09switch on. For United States, it was
34:12off. But once we switch it on, we should
34:14be able to save and finish. Okay. So,
34:17from here, we can go ahead and click on
34:18done. Now, after we did the change, it
34:20is still saying that it's missing the
34:22offer details, but that's because it
34:24just needs to update. So, just give it a
34:25few minutes. And once you refresh, it
34:28should be good to go. Now, let me show
34:29you really quick how you can set up a
34:31new shipping template that's going to be
34:32specific to your different suppliers.
34:35So, what we want to do is we want to go
34:36back to our shipping templates. For
34:38this, just go ahead and click on the
34:40search, look for shipping settings, and
34:42then it'll take you directly to here.
34:43And then you're going to have your
34:45create new shipping template. Let's go
34:46ahead and click on that. And it's going
34:48to ask you if you want to copy from the
34:50original template that you have there.
34:51For this, we're just going to start a
34:52new shipping template and click on okay.
34:54And then we're going to go ahead and set
34:56the rest of this information. So what
34:57we're going to be doing is essentially
34:58getting rid of anything that's expedited
35:01because we're not going to be offering
35:02that. So let's remove expedited. Let's
35:04remove today. We don't have the option
35:06for these. And what we're going to do is
35:08we're going to stick to just the
35:09standard shipping. So let's also remove
35:10the free economy. Go ahead and click on
35:12okay. And now we're going to go ahead
35:13and edit all of this. So when we ship to
35:16any of these different locations, we're
35:19going to go ahead and set our transit
35:20time. So, our transit time, I like to
35:22keep it at the longest just to start so
35:24we can gauge our supplier and see how
35:26long it actually takes them to ship our
35:28orders. So, we're going to keep that at
35:295 to 8. The shipping fee, we're going to
35:31keep that as free. So, free shipping.
35:33Same thing goes for any of these
35:35different regions. So, we're going to go
35:37ahead and switch it over to the longest.
35:40Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. That's
35:41definitely going to be going to be the
35:42longest because that usually does take a
35:45little bit extra than anywhere else in
35:47the US. But again, we're going to go
35:49ahead and offer free shipping for these
35:51because our supplier is going to be
35:52shipping them directly. So from here, we
35:54can go ahead and scroll all the way down
35:57and click on save.
36:00Now, the shipping templates that we just
36:01set, those are where we're going to ship
36:03to. The next thing that we need to do is
36:05switch over where we're going to ship
36:06from. And this is what's going to be
36:08tied to our different products or to our
36:11suppliers. So, what we want to do here
36:12is under general shipping settings, we
36:14want to go ahead and add new warehouse
36:16occasions. So, under default shipping
36:18address, we can go ahead and look for
36:20order fulfillment settings here. And we
36:22can start to switch over the
36:24information. So, we can do view
36:25locations. And by default, the address
36:28that I have on file is going to be the
36:29one that it's shipping from. But what we
36:31want to do is we want to do create a new
36:33location. And from here, we're going to
36:35start adding the locations from where
36:37our suppliers are shipping from. So,
36:39let's take for example, we have somebody
36:40that's shipping from Denver. So, let's
36:43go. Let's do Colorado. This we don't
36:45have to worry about. As far as the
36:46address, we can go ahead and put United
36:48States. And then we're going to have to
36:49have an address in Colorado. Now, this
36:52is not going to be that hard to find. In
36:54the cheat sheet, I am going to give you
36:56a few different sources or a few
36:58different links to different PDFs that
37:00have multiple shipping addresses with
37:02different warehouses on them that you
37:04can use to add the information on here.
37:06Now, for now, I already have one that
37:09I'm going to be using. So, let's go
37:10ahead and put this in here. And then
37:12we're going to have shipping or instore
37:14pickup. We're not going to be doing
37:15instore pickup. We are going to be
37:16offering the shipping. So, we're going
37:18to go ahead and create this location.
37:19Now, you don't have to worry about the
37:20primary phone number or the email
37:21address. You can put whatever it is that
37:22you want there because nobody's really
37:24going to be reaching out to those
37:25locations. So, all right, perfect. We
37:27went ahead and created the location. We
37:29have this as a shipping option. So, this
37:32will be where one of our products ships
37:34from or where we set some of our
37:36products to ship from. Now, what happens
37:37when somebody actually starts placing an
37:39order on our store? Well, in this case,
37:41what's going to happen is we're going to
37:42need to be able to fulfill these orders.
37:44Now, you can go ahead and run over to
37:47your Amazon account, and you're going to
37:48go to the orders tab, and then you're
37:50going to fulfill your orders through
37:51here. I currently don't have any at the
37:52moment, but this is where they're all
37:54going to appear, and you're going to be
37:55able to add the shipping information for
37:58your product and fulfill it. But the
38:00other option is going to be doing it
38:02through AutoDS. So, when an order comes
38:04in, you're going to have all of your
38:06orders come in through here. And then
38:08you're going to see it over here as
38:10pending. Now, when it is pending, if we
38:12have auto order turned on, like I showed
38:14you earlier, it will automatically place
38:16the order for you. Now, there's two
38:18different ways that this can happen. It
38:20can either be done through auto order or
38:21through fulfilled by AutoDS. I suggest
38:24going through fulfilled by AutoDS
38:25because what that's going to do is it's
38:27going to take your balance that's up
38:29here and it's going to place the order
38:31for you through your supplier. Whereas
38:33the auto orderer function, it'll work in
38:35a similar way except what it's going to
38:36do is it's going to log in to your
38:38supplers's website, let's say through
38:40AliExpress, and it's going to use your
38:42banking details or your credit card
38:43information to place that order for you.
38:45To me, fulfilled by AutoDS is a lot
38:47quicker and it's a lot easier to use.
38:49And one thing that you are going to need
38:50to do in this case is going to be to
38:53download and install this Chrome
38:55extension right here, the AutoDS drop
38:56ship helper, because what this is going
38:58to do is it's going to prefill your
39:01customers information for you. So,
39:03Amazon doesn't share that information
39:04with anybody. So, when you come on here,
39:07you're not going to have the address for
39:08your customers. So, the only thing
39:09you're going to have to do is open up
39:11that Chrome extension, and it'll show
39:12you your different orders, copy the
39:14address, and then you'll be able to
39:15paste it into here where you see your
39:17order. Now, if you do want a full demo
39:19on how that works, you can go ahead and
39:21check out this video right here. It is a
39:22very detailed step-by-step, full on
39:24three-hour course where Lauron shows you
39:27absolutely everything that you need to
39:28know on how to start and scale your
39:30Amazon drop shipping business. In there,
39:32you will be able to see real live orders
39:34that have come through the store and how
39:36they're fulfilled, and you're going to
39:37be able to see absolutely everything in
39:39action. So, I highly suggest you check
39:40it out after this one, so that way you
39:43can start to scale your business even
39:44further. Now, the last thing that I'm
39:46going to show you is how you can get
39:47paid because this is obviously one of
39:48the most important parts. So, through
39:51the Amazon search bar up here, you just
39:53simply search up deposit, and then
39:54you'll be able to look up the deposit
39:56methods. Now, on here, you can simply
39:59just go ahead and add your deposit
40:01method or your payout method, and it's
40:04going to show up through here. It's
40:05going to tell you how long it takes for
40:06you to get paid, and it's going to give
40:07you an option also for express payout. I
40:10like doing the standard payouts because
40:11it does take a couple of extra days, but
40:13you're not going to get charged any
40:14extra fees. Whereas express methods,
40:16they are quicker, but they're typically
40:18going to be charging you a certain
40:20percentage. Now, remember, if you do
40:21want the cheat sheet with all of this
40:22information that I included in this
40:24video for you laid out in a pretty easy
40:26step-by-step manner, go ahead and
40:27comment down below the #autods to
40:29Amazon, and let me know what your
40:31takeaway was from this video, and I'll
40:32make sure to send you the cheat sheet.
40:34Remember, if you want to check out the
40:35full A Toz three-hour course that goes
40:37into even more detail than this video
