How to become a drop shipper
With the improvement of technology and science, computers and the internet has already changed our lives. Right now, we can easily buy anything like clothes, laptops or even a car. We called it online shopping. After you have made a payment, your package would deliver to your shipping address. It is much convenient shopping style. However, I am not going to talk about how to buy stuff online at a cheaper price. I am going to talk about how to become a drop shipper and how to use social media to make money online.
First thing first, what is drop shopping? The simplest way to understand drop shopping is that you open an online store. When a customer buys something in your store, you immediately receive the payment. The supplier sends the goods according to the shipping address and specifications. The whole process, I never saw the product, no storage, no packaging, no delivery. I follow the "lower into higher" business principle, earn the difference.
Understanding what is dropshopping is the step. The second step is making sure what kind of product you want to sell and give the name of your online store. Also, you need an idea of a logo for your brand. If you did not know what kind of products you want to sell. Google trend is a good website that you can know how many people searched the keywords. For example, if I want to know how many people interested in dog treat and cat treat.

Next step is making your own website in Shopify.

In addition, there are a bunch of useful apps in Shopify, some of them are free and some of them will charge you a monthly plan.
To find products is your next step. For example, I want to make a pet shop which sells products like dog treat bag, dog toothbrush, pet neck scarf and so on. Go to https://www.aliexpress.com/ and search for products. Click the blue mark, and it will import to your Oberlo.
When you open the import list, you should look like this.
Change the description, price and color name. Then you can import the product to your store. Click the blue button called import to store.
When your store has different kinds of product, you should separate them into different collections. It is not just easy for customers to find out product, it also more easy for you to manage your online store.
When everything is done. You will use social media like Instagram, facebook, twitter and so on. Those social media can attract more customers and getting more and more people know about your online store. Also, when you create a brand-new online store, you will need a couple of promotions. For example, I can set make a dog nick scarf as a gift for all customers. However, I will set my shipping to $5.99. In this case, I still have a couple of dollars as my revenue.
