Hi Rahul- This is Clever Ecommerce, we create free, custom-made Google ecommerce ads campaigns for your Shopify store.
We would love to be able to help you start your drop-shipping store.
The good news is that we strongly believe that you are in the right place in terms of starting a drop-shipping store with Shopify.
1. The first step would be to create your Shopify store.
Creating your Shopify store is instant and takes as little as 5 minutes! Choose a store theme that aligns well with your store's goals and products.
2. Have you decided what products you will be selling?
We recommend you conduct exhaustive product research. Check what kind of products are selling well and whether or not you have too many competitors in your market. It's always good to focus on a niche market rather than selling too general of products. The more general and common your product is, the more competition you'll have. Some great suggestions on conducting product research is Google Trends and Google Keyword Planner.
If so, we can move on to the next step.
3. Find the right suppliers for your store.
While there are a lot of worldwide suppliers out there, the most common scenario for new Shopify dropshipping stores is to use Aliexpress as their main supplier. Aliexpress has very reasonable worldwide shipping time and cost and an extensive variety of products to choose from. If you find another supplier that suits your needs better, you can always go with an alternative. You can check our list of the best dropshipping suppliers.
4. Promote, advertise and market your products to bring traffic and conversions.
There are several ways to bring traffic to your store including through organic traffic, paid traffic, social media traffic, direct traffic, etc. I would say the most powerful channels to do this are Google Ads and Facebook Ads. Carrying out good marketing campaigns is a very complicated subject that can costs thousands of dollars, but it doesn't always have to be this way. You'd have to first to an extensive search on the best keywords to place your site at the top of the search list, and then you can choose to create search ads, display ads, shopping ads, among others. There are several companies and agencies that specialize in marketing, don't rule them out. In the end, your marketing efforts are the determining factor of whether you get any traffic to your store or not, so we recommend you invest a lot of time in researching the best marketing strategy for your store!
Here is a great step-by-step guide on creating your dropshipping store with Shopify.
