Give Me 30 Minutes And I'll Make You An AutoDS Automation EXPERT!

0:00I want to show you exactly how the

0:01stores doing 50k or even 100k a month in

0:04drop shipping actually operate behind

0:06the scenes because rally check it

0:08actually looks nothing like what most

0:10people are currently doing. Most sellers

0:12are still waking up to oversold orders

0:14because the supplier went out of stock

0:16overnight. It's happened to me. Look,

0:18after working with thousands of drop

0:20shipping stores from people getting

0:21their first sale to sellers moving some

0:23serious volume, the single biggest gap

0:26between the ones who fail and the ones

0:28who scale

0:29is simple. It's what they've handed off

0:31and what they're still doing themselves.

0:33In the next 30 minutes, I'm going to

0:35show you exactly how a store looks when

0:37it gets set up the right way with every

0:39automation and every setting in the

0:42order that it actually matters. Whether

0:44you have 10 products or whether you have

0:4610,000 products, you need to set these

0:49up today. So, by the end of this video,

0:51you're going to be a full-on AutoDS

0:53automation expert. Let's get into it.

0:55Okay, so starting off, we're going to be

0:56covering one of the biggest pain points

0:58that everybody has when they start and

1:00that's product research. Now, through

1:03AutoDS, you are able to fully automate

1:05your entire product research process and

1:07there's two different pages There's a

1:09few different pages, but there are two

1:11primary pages that you're going to be

1:13able to do this from. For one, we're

1:14going to have our marketplace, but from

1:16within that marketplace, we're going to

1:17have our handpicked products and our

1:19trending products, but then we also have

1:20our ads by section. So, these three

1:23different tools are going to work

1:24together to help you automate your

1:25entire product research flow. So, for

1:27example, we're going to start off with

1:28the handpicked products. Once we're on

1:30this page, we're going to find a few

1:32different filters and we're going to

1:33find a few different niches so that way

1:34we can see what works for us and what's

1:37going to work for our type of store. So,

1:39depending on what you're selling, you

1:40can go ahead and really get niched down

1:42and find products that are trending in

1:45that category or niche. Let's say for

1:46example, we're selling something in the

1:47home improvements and tools niche. From

1:50there, we can go ahead and click on

1:51this. Let's say we want to make sure

1:52that we're going to be making at least,

1:54I don't know, $20, $15 to $20 per sale.

1:57We can go ahead and change that over

1:58here through the product range. So, we

2:00can filter between $10 to $20 in terms

2:02of the profit range. So, now all of

2:04these different products are going to be

2:05giving us the desired profit that we

2:07want. Now, scrolling through some of

2:08these different ones, I'm going to check

2:10out this one right here because these

2:11cabinet lights are actually pretty good

2:12and I've seen tons of different ads on

2:14them on TikTok and on Instagram.

2:16Now, clicking into it, we are going to

2:18have a lot more information. All of this

2:19information is very valuable and it

2:21really does help automate your entire

2:23drop shipping process starting from

2:25product research by letting you know,

2:27is this actually something that's worth

2:29drop shipping or not? And you can tell

2:31just by looking at the engagement score

2:32and the saturation score. So, from here

2:34you can see whether or not people are

2:36actually engaging with this type of

2:38product on social media. So, how many

2:41likes are these videos getting? How many

2:42clicks are they getting? How many

2:43comments? How many saves? All of that is

2:45tallied up into an engagement score. And

2:47right now, it's showing as mild. So,

2:50there is activity, but there's not too

2:53much activity. So, this could be the

2:54perfect time for you to come in and

2:55actually start dominating the space on

2:58TikTok or on Instagram with this type of

3:01product. Now, besides that, there's also

3:03the saturation score. So, the saturation

3:05score is going to tell you how many

3:06people are trying to sell this product

3:08online. And from here you can see that's

3:10currently at a 60, so it's kind of busy,

3:12which really isn't bad at all. You want

3:15to avoid products that are already at

3:16full market capacity because that means

3:18there's going to be too many people that

3:19are trying to sell it. The only way that

3:21I'll tell you that you can go ahead and

3:23actually sell one of those products if

3:24they are in the full market is if you

3:26know what you're doing in terms of the

3:29marketing. You need to have a specific

3:30brand. You need to have your vision

3:32ready. You need to know how you're going

3:34to market this. And at the end of the

3:35day, it's not impossible, but it is

3:37going to be a little bit easier for you

3:39if you actually have a game plan set.

3:41Now, to help you get ideas for your game

3:43plan, for your content strategy, and

3:44however you're going to be marketing

3:45this product, we actually have a social

3:47ad section as well. So, through here you

3:50can see what other creators are doing.

3:51Take this one for example.

3:54>> I love you. Looks like it's just a music

3:57as the uh

4:00It looks like it's just music that's

4:01playing and then they're showing you

4:03pretty much the end result. It's very

4:04simple. It's very straightforward.

4:06And it's actually pretty cool because it

4:08gives you that little um transition that

4:10changes the lights.

4:12And they do it a couple different types.

4:13Stuff like that really hooks the viewers

4:14and it gets them to actually make a

4:16purchase. So, this is really good to be

4:18able to not only automate your product

4:19research, but also start automating how

4:21you're going to be promoting this

4:23product. Now, in terms of the handpicked

4:24product section, everything that's on

4:26here is expertly curated and picked by

4:29drop shippers who've been in the

4:31business for over 10 plus years. These

4:34people all know exactly what they're

4:35looking for and they know what's

4:37currently trending out in the market.

4:39So, you can rest assured that you're

4:40going to have products that people

4:42actually want. And then in terms of the

4:44fulfillment, a lot of these are going to

4:46be fulfilled by AutoDS private

4:48suppliers. So, that way you can make

4:49sure that for one, you're having

4:51consistently good quality products and

4:53two, you have pretty fast shipping. And

4:55best of all, you're going to have better

4:56prices than really anybody else out in

4:59let's say AliExpress, DHGate, or any of

5:01these other websites where people

5:02typically go to source their products.

5:04And of course, it's always being updated

5:06and there's always brand new products

5:08that are showing up on both the

5:10handpicked product section and the

5:11trending product section. Now, the

5:13difference between the two is that the

5:14trending product section is going to be

5:16products that are picked by AI. So, AI

5:18is going to go ahead and scour the

5:19internet and it's going to find what

5:21products are currently on the rise. Then

5:22it's going to say, "Hey, this one looks

5:24like it's pretty good. It looks like

5:25it's getting attention. Let's pop it in

5:26the trending product section." So, that

5:28way you can start to find products that

5:30are going to spike in terms of the trend

5:33before they actually do spike. So, all

5:35the products on here are on their way

5:36up. So, you're catching these right

5:38before they actually start rising. Now,

5:40I also did mention another page which is

5:42the ads by section. Now, through here,

5:44you can add on to your product research

5:46process and this is going to help you

5:48find products and ads that are currently

5:50blowing up on Tik Tok, Instagram, and on

5:53Facebook. So, you can see if maybe one

5:55particular product is doing better on a

5:57particular platform. So, if one product

5:59is doing better on Tik Tok, you may want

6:01to see if you can dominate the space on

6:02either Instagram or Facebook, or you can

6:04also jump on the trend to wherever it is

6:06trending on, let's say, again, on Tik

6:08Tok, for example. And through here, you

6:10have an entire ads library, essentially.

6:12Ads that are all currently running and

6:15promoting some sort of product. And of

6:17course, every single one of these ads is

6:19also trending. These are different ads

6:21that are actually converting and getting

6:22people to purchase the product that

6:24they're advertising. So, take for

6:26example, this one over here. This one

6:27has 1.2 million views, and it only

6:29debuted or it released about 20 days

6:32ago, and it's a simple 6-second ad.

6:35Let's go ahead and click on see the Tik

6:36Tok ad, and I'll show you exactly what

6:37I'm talking about. So, let's just check

6:39this out.

6:39>> No, I don't think you understand.

6:41I'm a

6:42>> So, it has a trending audio on top.

6:45And all it is is just a sunshade, and

6:47you saw how easy that was? This right

6:49here garnered 1.2 million views, and I

6:52can almost guarantee you that this has

6:53brought the person that's promoting this

6:54product some pretty good money through

6:56affiliate marketing, because a lot of

6:57these are hosting Tik Tok Shop products.

7:00So, not only does this help you automate

7:01your drop shipping product research, it

7:04also helps you kind of take another lane

7:06into a different business of affiliate

7:08marketing. Because the same products

7:09that you can sell on Tik Tok Shop, let's

7:11say, you can also be an affiliate for

7:13them, so you don't have to worry about

7:14the customer service or any of those

7:16extra steps. Now, if you do want to

7:17learn a lot more about that, then I have

7:19an entire video that's going to walk you

7:20through how you can start becoming a Tik

7:21Tok Shop affiliate, and you can check

7:23that out in this video right here. Now,

7:24besides that though, you do have a

7:25little bit of extra information on here

7:27that can help you decide whether or not

7:28this might be an ad that's worth

7:30replicating or not, or even if it's a

7:31product that's worth selling. And you

7:33even have the link to the product down

7:34here, so if you click on it, it's going

7:36to take you to the link on Tik Tok Shop.

7:38Now, if this is starting to feel like

7:39there's going to be a lot of different

7:40features that you really do want to keep

7:42up with, then I suggest you check out

7:44the cheat sheet that I'm going to give

7:45to you for completely free. That's going

7:47to walk you through every single one of

7:48the different steps that I'm talking

7:49about today. It's going to cover all the

7:51different automations and how you can go

7:53into each one of them and set the

7:55specific rules so that way it works for

7:57your drop shipping store. And if you

7:58want access to that, just go ahead and

7:59drop a hashtag with the hashtag

8:01automation and let me know which one of

8:02these automations is your favorite one

8:04and which one you find most useful. Once

8:05you do that, I'll go ahead and send you

8:06a link to the cheat sheet. All right,

8:08let's go ahead and continue. Okay, so

8:09now you know how you're able to find

8:10products that are trending. Next, how do

8:14you actually import them to your store?

8:15At least, how do you do it in a quick

8:17way so that way you don't have to do

8:18everything manually? How do you automate

8:20this? Well, part of becoming an AutoDS

8:22automation expert is mastering automatic

8:24product importing. And to do this, it's

8:27even easier than what I just showed you.

8:29Because if we go back to our handpicked

8:30product section and we click on this

8:33right here, right? Let's say this is a

8:34similar product to the one we just saw.

8:36This is a sunshade umbrella. If this is

8:38a product that we ourselves decide,

8:40we're going to sell this. This is

8:41something that's definitely going to fit

8:42my store. Then all you have to do is

8:44click on import as draft and edit

8:46manually. If you have multiple stores,

8:48it's going to ask you which one you want

8:48to import it to. So I'm just going to

8:50choose my eBay store. I'm going to click

8:52on next and then it takes it to my draft

8:54section, which I'll show you in just a

8:55second, where I can make any adjustments

8:57to it before it actually goes live on my

8:59store. Now there are a few other ways to

9:01be able to import products to your store

9:03even if you're not sourcing them from

9:04AutoDS. So take for example this fan on

9:07Amazon. Let's say this is a product that

9:08we want to import to our store. We can

9:10easily do that by simply clicking the

9:11link up top. We can go ahead and cut it,

9:14run back to AutoDS and then click on add

9:16product. From here, we're going to

9:18choose either single product or multiple

9:20products. I'm going to show you both,

9:22but for now let's go ahead and click on

9:23single. We're going to choose the store

9:24that we want to import it to,

9:26click on next, and we're going to paste

9:28our link in here.

9:30Now from here, we can either again add

9:31it as a draft to our draft section and

9:33then get back to it later or we can

9:35publish it directly to our store. Now,

9:38publishing directly to your store can be

9:40kind of risky if you don't have your

9:41automation settings

9:43set the right way. The reason I say this

9:45is because this is going to take the

9:46default settings that you have and it's

9:48going to apply them to this product and

9:50then push it live on your store. This

9:52can work and this makes things a lot

9:53quicker, but again, you need to have

9:55your settings dialed, which I'm going to

9:56show you in just a few minutes. So, make

9:59sure you stick around. Now, really

10:00quick, if you're finding anything that

10:01I'm giving you in this video useful in

10:03any way, shape, or form, make sure you

10:04hit the subscribe button, make sure you

10:05hit the like button, and click that

10:06little bell notification so you don't

10:08miss out on any future videos. And if

10:10you see a little hype feature down

10:11there, like a button that says hype this

10:12video, make sure to click that. That's

10:14going to be a personal favorite to me.

10:15It's really going to help boost this

10:16video. So, I would really appreciate it

10:18if you hit the hype button. Right, let's

10:20go ahead and continue. So, for now,

10:21let's just go ahead and click on add as

10:23draft, send it to the draft section, and

10:24then it's going to take us to the draft

10:26section. So, this right here is our

10:27product draft. If we click on drafts

10:29over here, we're going to see all of the

10:31different products that I've imported

10:32into my draft section or that I have

10:35plan to edit and then set to go live on

10:37my store. If we click on this little

10:40click to edit button, we're going to be

10:41able to adjust everything for the

10:42product details. So, we can adjust our

10:44titles, we can switch the different

10:46categories. Depending on where you're

10:47selling, you can add a different payment

10:49policy or shipping policy. This is going

10:51to vary if you're drop shipping on eBay

10:53or on Shopify on Amazon. So, you're

10:55going to have a few different screens

10:56for this, but overall, it's going to be

10:58pretty much the same thing in terms of

11:00what you're going to be adjusting. And

11:01then if you look down here, we have our

11:02stock and price monitoring along with

11:04our auto order. So, starting with the

11:06title, we can actually optimize your

11:08title with AI. So, you're able to go

11:11ahead and click on optimize title and

11:12you can automate your title generations

11:14for all of your different products. Now,

11:16not only can you do the title, but you

11:18can also do the description. So, let's

11:20take for example a title, we can switch

11:21this over to be a bit more sellable. We

11:24can do AI write and then it's going to

11:25give us G&F just for kids soft jersey

11:28cardigan clothes. This is already a lot

11:30better than what we had originally,

11:31which if we exit out of here,

11:34go ahead and click on yes, it's going to

11:36give it to us rewritten. It's accepted

11:38in a bit of a cleaner fashion. Now,

11:40taking a look at the category, this is

11:42already going to be automatically

11:43pre-filled. So, this is already

11:44automated for you along with your

11:46shipping methods. Now, by default,

11:48you're going to have cheapest with

11:50tracking, and I suggest that this is the

11:51the one that you always go with. Simply

11:53because if you go with cheapest, you

11:54might not get tracking, and if you do

11:56fastest with tracking, you're going to

11:57have a very expensive bill for the

12:00shipping of this product. So, cheapest

12:01with tracking is all you need. And this

12:03is already automated for you. This

12:04should already be on default, but if

12:06it's not, you can go ahead and set it

12:07through the settings page, which we'll

12:09go over in just a minute. Now, looking

12:10at the stock monitoring, what this is

12:12going to do is this is essentially going

12:13to keep track of your supplier's stock.

12:17So, if your supplier runs out of stock

12:18from one day to the other, it's going to

12:20automatically adjust the inventory

12:21levels on your store, so that way you're

12:23not selling something that you don't

12:24have access to. You don't know how many

12:26times prior to AutoDS I have sold

12:29something on one of my drop shipping

12:30stores only to find out that my supplier

12:32ran out, and I have to either cancel the

12:34order or email the customer to tell them

12:36that their order might be a little bit

12:37late because we're waiting on supply

12:39from our supplier. And the same way that

12:41stock monitoring keeps track of your

12:43supplier's stock, price monitoring is

12:46going to keep track of just that, their

12:48pricing. So, you can set rules that are

12:50going to automate your pricing flow. So,

12:52let's say for example, your supplier

12:53increases a product price by

12:5510%. You can automatically set it to

12:58match that 10%, or maybe just increase

13:00it by 8%. Or if you want, even increase

13:02it by 12 or 13%. Again, these are all

13:05different automations and different

13:06rules that we're going to set in just a

13:07minute. And then we have auto order. So,

13:10auto order is a fascinating feature

13:12because all it's going to do is it's

13:13essentially going to take the order that

13:14comes in from your drop shipping store,

13:16and it's going to re-route it to your

13:18supplier. So, that way AutoDS is going

13:20to order the product for you, so you

13:21don't even have to worry about it. Take

13:23for example, if your an order comes in

13:24at 2:00 in the morning, by 3:00 in the

13:26morning, this would already be ordered

13:28and paid for. So, that way all you have

13:30to do is just wait for it to ship. And

13:32then, AutoDS is also going to automate

13:33that entire process, too. Again, you'll

13:35see in a second. Now, besides the auto

13:36order from the same drafts page, you can

13:38go ahead and click on description, and

13:40again, you can automate your entire

13:41description. If you're selling on eBay,

13:44you can even automate adding different

13:45templates to your product pages.

13:47Different templates that could either

13:48be, let's say, something that's very

13:50niche-specific, a template that you

13:51create on your own, or something that

13:53could be specific to an upcoming

13:55holiday, for example, maybe back to

13:57school. Now, those templates are for

13:58eBay. Let's go ahead and switch this

13:59over to a Shopify store, and let me show

14:01you something else. So, we just take a

14:03quick look at this one that I have over

14:04here, which is a kid swimsuit one-piece.

14:07We can create an entire product page

14:09based off of this one product, and

14:11that's all directly from the drafts

14:13section. So, from here, all we do is

14:14click on generate a product page, and

14:16within a few minutes, you're going to

14:17get something like this.

14:22Now, if we click into the variants tab

14:24over here, we can add different

14:25variations to this, and one of the ways

14:27that you can automate this is simply by

14:29looking for different suppliers that

14:30offer the same product in, let's say, a

14:32different color, and you can

14:33automatically add the different

14:34variations by simply taking the link,

14:36and then pasting it through here. So,

14:38just click on add variant. You can go

14:40ahead and put the link on here. Make

14:42sure you choose the right supplier and

14:44the region where it's shipping from, and

14:46you'll have a second option over here as

14:48a different variation. So, if you find

14:50this in red, you can add a red variation

14:52to it. Look, AutoDS really automates

14:54your entire drop shipping store for you.

14:56And on top of that, you even have the

14:58ability to automate your ad text for

15:01things like your social media posts. And

15:03you can also do that directly from the

15:04drafts section. So, you have the ability

15:06to generate ad text with AI, and you can

15:09even generate product images with AI.

15:11And the cool thing about this is that

15:12this is actually structured to be

15:14specific for e-commerce. So, if we click

15:17on generate images, we can go ahead and

15:19take our source images, the ones that

15:21are already imported. We can use those

15:22as references, and we can type an image

15:24prompt to get the image to be exactly

15:26how you want it. So, let's say we want

15:27to just put this on a beach so we can

15:29have a more beachy scene or a more

15:31beachy product page or a more beachy

15:33product image. So, something simple,

15:35just lay the swimsuit on the sand in the

15:37beach with the water in the background,

15:38and we can generate the AI product

15:40image, and this is what we get. And this

15:42is actually exactly what I was looking

15:44for. This is 100% what I was thinking,

15:46and as you can see, it executed it

15:48pretty flawlessly and looks really good.

15:50So, from here, let's go ahead and click

15:51on save, and it'll be automatically

15:53added to your different images or to

15:56your different product images like this

15:57one right here. Now, once you've made

15:58all of your adjustments and you're happy

15:59with your product, then the next thing

16:01for you to do is simply just go ahead

16:02and click on save and import, and the

16:04product will be imported to your store

16:05automatically. Now, running back to the

16:08product drafts over here, looking at our

16:10stock, our price monitoring, and our

16:11auto orders. Let's go ahead and tweak

16:14the settings for this.

16:15For this, what we're going to do is

16:16we're going to click on the settings tab

16:17on the bottom left, and this is where

16:19we're going to see our supplier settings

16:21as well as our different automations.

16:23So, from supplier settings, we can go

16:25ahead and change any settings for any

16:27specific suppliers. So, if we're

16:29importing products from Amazon, we can

16:31go ahead and set our lister settings,

16:32our pricing settings, our order

16:34settings, and just overall general

16:36settings. You can do this for any

16:37different supplier that you have that

16:39you've imported products from. So, if

16:41you've imported products from

16:42AliExpress, you'll have here the option

16:43for AliExpress, but right now, since we

16:45only have Amazon and products from

16:47AutoDS, this is all we see. But, it's

16:49going to be pretty much the same thing

16:50throughout. So, from here, what we're

16:51going to do is we're going to have our

16:53default product quantity. This I suggest

16:56you just keep as is, and we're going to

16:58be doing this through the stock and

16:59price monitoring. This is going to go

17:01ahead and take priority over everything

17:02because we want to automate this entire

17:03thing. Remember how I told you earlier

17:05that you can simply just publish to

17:06store and have your product go directly

17:08live to your store? Well, these are the

17:10settings that we need to adjust for

17:11that. If we just leave it as is and we

17:13just start publishing to our store,

17:14chances are we're going to be losing

17:15money on every single sale that we get

17:17because the pricing isn't optimized. We

17:20don't have any rules for them. We're

17:21going to be selling it at maybe 50 cents

17:24or a dollar more, which just the fees

17:25alone are going to eat into that and

17:27we're going to go into the negative. So,

17:28in order to avoid that, this is what

17:29we're going to have to do. So, for one,

17:31we can go ahead and change our shipping

17:33methods like I told you earlier. We can

17:34change it to the default which we want,

17:36which is always going to be cheapest

17:37with tracking. If you want to go for

17:39some of the other ones, that's up to

17:40you. But, this will automatically apply

17:41these settings when we import products

17:44to our draft section or decide to

17:46publish them. Over here where it says

17:48default template, this is going to be

17:49for the store that we're drop shipping

17:52on. So, right here we have the different

17:53stores that we have and these are our

17:55different suppliers for each one of

17:56these stores. So, if I click on let's

17:57say the store I have up here, my Shopify

17:59store, you can see I have the different

18:01suppliers on here for this particular

18:02store. Now, this template over here,

18:04this is going to be what I mentioned

18:05earlier about the eBay template. This is

18:07where we're going to have the different

18:08ones we have. You can go ahead and click

18:10on add new and you can include any new

18:12ones. So, that way whenever you do

18:13upload to your eBay store, it's going to

18:15choose whichever one you have here on

18:17default and this will be fully automated

18:19for you. Then we have our advanced

18:20Lister settings. These right here we

18:22don't really need to look at right now

18:23because it's not something that's going

18:24to help us with our entire automation

18:26process, but the price and stock

18:28monitoring, this is.

18:30We always want to make sure that our

18:30stock monitoring and our price

18:31monitoring is turned on. So, this is

18:34going to make it by default every single

18:36time that we import from Amazon to this

18:39store over here, every single product is

18:42going to be already with stock

18:43monitoring and price monitoring. Same

18:45thing goes for the AI optimization

18:47settings. Remember how earlier I showed

18:48you that you can optimize your titles

18:49and your descriptions with the help of

18:51AI? Well, we can have that already ready

18:53to go for us. So, the moment that we

18:55import a product to our store, if we

18:56have any one of these checked off,

18:57AutoDS is going to go ahead and

18:59automatically automate our titles and

19:01it's going to automate our descriptions.

19:03And we're going to be able to choose the

19:05tone of the title and the temperature of

19:07the title. Like I showed you earlier,

19:09the tone is going to be professional,

19:10sellable, funny, or optimized for social

19:12networks. So, let's say if you want to

19:13post it on social media or anything like

19:15that. And the temperature for this is

19:17going to be either something creative or

19:18something that's more precise to the

19:20product itself. And let's say there's

19:21anything in particular, anything

19:22specific that you want to add to all of

19:23your titles and your descriptions, you

19:25can go ahead and put that down here.

19:27Now, moving on, we can go ahead and

19:28click on the pricing. And this is going

19:30to automate our entire pricing for

19:32whenever we first upload a product to

19:34our store. So, from here we can adjust

19:36how much we want our default fees to be.

19:38So, this store is actually a Shopify

19:40store. So, it is going to be a 3% fee.

19:43But, if I switch over to let's say my

19:44eBay store, it's already going to be by

19:46default the eBay fee, which is 13%. If

19:49for whatever reason we want to set it to

19:5115%, maybe 18%, then we can do that

19:54here. We can change the fee to 18% if we

19:57choose to.

19:58And the same thing goes for the fee

19:59dollar amount. This is all again going

20:01to be applied the moment that we import

20:03a product to our store. Now, we can also

20:05set an automatic profit percentage. So,

20:08how much do we want to make in terms of

20:09profit for each product? Right now, it's

20:12set to 10%. If we publish a product to

20:13our store directly, we're going to be

20:15making a 10% profit after our 18% in

20:18fees. Or, if it was before, it would

20:20have been 13%. Now, 10% is pretty low.

20:22So, let's see if we can go for 60% on

20:25every single sale. If that's what we

20:26want to do, we can switch this to 60,

20:28and you can see here our profits

20:29increased.

20:31So, earlier it was 10%, which is this

20:32right here.

20:34Estimating a product cost of $100, we'd

20:36be making about $10, right? But, if we

20:38switch this over to 60%, we can see that

20:39this increases, and our fees, again, 18%

20:43are going to be $35, which is this right

20:44here. Let's switch that back to 13,

20:46actually. So, 13% of fees will be $24,

20:49plus the 30 cent fee that we have set

20:51here

20:52is going to equal a total price of $184.

20:55So, the 60% in profits is going to be

20:57purely profits. That's not taking into

20:59consideration the fees, because those

21:01fees are already being subtracted. And

21:04then let's say you want to make an

21:04extra, I don't know, dollar or two for

21:06every single sale, you can add that

21:08through here as well. Now, from here,

21:09we're going to have our default

21:11automations. These default automations,

21:13we're going to go ahead and set up in

21:14the automations tab over here, so just

21:15stick with me for 1 second, but this is

21:17where you're going to be able to choose

21:18how AutoDS is going to react when your

21:21supplier increases the price, or if they

21:23lower their price, or let's say if

21:25you're making a good amount of

21:27consistent sales, maybe you want to

21:28increase your price a little bit and

21:30make a little bit more money. You'll be

21:31able to do all of that through here, but

21:32again, I'll show you in just a minute.

21:34And then the other thing is the minimum

21:35profit per product. So, how much money

21:36do you want to make at a bare minimum

21:39for every single sale? So, do you want

21:41to make $10 for every sale? Do you want

21:43to make $5 for every sale? This one I

21:45like to keep at zero because unless you

21:47have an average of the same pricing for

21:49most of your products, it's going to be

21:51kind of hard to make $5 from a $5

21:54product versus making $5 from a $100

21:56product. And another cool thing is you

21:58can set the price cents value, so you

21:59can just go ahead and switch this over

22:01to, let's say, 97. So, every single one

22:03of your products, when you upload them

22:04to your store, will end in, let's say,

22:06$197,

22:07$101.97, like that. Now, checking over

22:10at the orders page, here we're going to

22:11be able to automate our order settings.

22:13So, whenever somebody places an order

22:15from our store, these are the settings

22:17that are going to activate. So, for one,

22:19you can process orders using the

22:20fulfilled by AutoDS service. Two, you

22:22have automatic orders, which we saw

22:24earlier. And three, we also have Hip

22:26Shipper if you're selling

22:27internationally. The most important ones

22:29from here are going to be the top two,

22:31fulfilled by AutoDS and the automatic

22:33orders. Now, the automatic orders is

22:35going to require a buyer account or the

22:37fulfilled by AutoDS. Simply put, a buyer

22:40account is you giving AutoDS your

22:42credentials for something like

22:44AliExpress. So, that way whenever

22:46somebody places an order in your store,

22:47AutoDS is going to take those

22:48credentials, it's going to sign in, and

22:50it's going to make a purchase on your

22:51behalf using your credit card, your

22:53banking details, whatever it may be,

22:55and then it's going to fulfill that

22:57order for you. The other option is going

22:59to be using fulfilled by AutoDS. This is

23:01my recommended setting because it just

23:03makes everything so much easier. In this

23:05case, you're not giving AutoDS your

23:06buyer accounts. AutoDS is using its own

23:08buyer accounts to make the purchase on

23:10your behalf, and it's going to be using

23:12a balance that you have, which is topped

23:14up here. If this balance ever runs low,

23:16you can just click on load balance, and

23:18you can add to your wallet. So, that way

23:20whenever an order does come through,

23:21you're always ensured to be covered, and

23:23AutoDS will make that purchase for you.

23:24Now, the biggest difference between the

23:26two, and the reason why I say fulfilled

23:28by AutoDS is definitely the way to go,

23:29is because again, it's going to be using

23:31the AutoDS buyer accounts. Let's say you

23:33give AutoDS your Amazon buyer accounts.

23:35Amazon isn't very drop shipper friendly.

23:38Whenever they notice that people are

23:39drop shipping products from their store,

23:40they're shipping them to different

23:41multiple different addresses, they're

23:42going to ban your account. They're going

23:44to go ahead and suspend your personal

23:45account, so you won't be able to buy

23:46from them anymore, whether it be for

23:48yourself, or to drop ship to somebody

23:49else. So, that's why fulfilled by AutoDS

23:51is so important. It's going to

23:52completely mask that. Or it's not even

23:54going to mask it, it's never going to

23:55touch it in the first place. AutoDS will

23:57always use its own buyer accounts that,

23:59again, that are also even eligible for

24:01prime shipping. So, you're going to get

24:03faster shipping, even if you don't use

24:05your own buyer accounts. Now, you can

24:07have one checked off, or both checked

24:09off. So, if you have just process orders

24:11using fulfilled by AutoDS, what's going

24:12to happen is whenever an order comes in,

24:15it's going to go to your order section

24:16over here, and then it's going to stay

24:18as pending. And all you have to do is

24:20change it to sent to auto order. So,

24:22that way AutoDS takes that order, and it

24:24uses fulfilled by AutoDS to place that

24:26order, and it's going to fund it using

24:28your balance over here. Now, if you just

24:30have automatic orders, then it's just

24:32going to go ahead and place the order

24:33for you, and it's going to use your

24:34buyer information. And then if we have

24:36both, it's going to automatically place

24:38the order, and then it's going to

24:39process everything using fulfilled by

24:40AutoDS. And again, I know this could be

24:42a lot. Remember, everything is going to

24:44be done for you in the cheat sheet, so

24:45make sure you do comment the hashtag

24:46automate to get yours. Now, in terms of

24:48the actual order fulfillment, you do

24:49have also a few other options down here.

24:52So, you have the option to automatically

24:53set the order as shipped. You can set it

24:55as ordered, or you can set it as order

24:57received. Same thing goes for tracking

24:59conversion. So, let's say you're drop

25:01shipping on eBay. eBay needs to have

25:03valid tracking numbers. So, in this

25:05case, you can actually go ahead and

25:06convert your tracking numbers to any one

25:08of these different ones, so that way it

25:10can be accepted by eBay or whatever it

25:12else it is that you're drop shipping on.

25:13And another really cool feature that

25:15actually I think can give you a little

25:17boost in becoming that AutoDS automation

25:19expert is going to be automatic messages

25:21to your customers. You can pretty much

25:22automate your entire customer service.

25:24So, whenever somebody places an order,

25:26you can go ahead and send this message

25:27right here. You can edit this as well.

25:29You can click on edit. You can put

25:31whatever message that you want. And if

25:33you want to include the buyer's first

25:34name, like right here, all you do is

25:36click on down here where it says buyer

25:38first name. You can change their last

25:39name. You can add the product title. So,

25:42let's say, quick example, "Hey

25:45buyer first name comma

25:47thanks for buying the product title

25:51comma

25:53here is your

25:55tracking number." And then you click on

25:56tracking number, and so on. So, that way

25:58whenever somebody places an order, this

26:00is what they're going to be getting.

26:01Now, of course, you do want to customize

26:03your different messages for whatever it

26:04is that you're automating. So, you do

26:06have gift messages. You have when an

26:08order was delivered. You have whenever a

26:10tracking number becomes available. And

26:12you also have whenever somebody leaves

26:13you feedback. So, you can automate your

26:15entire customer service experience, and

26:17you can automate all of these different

26:18emails using this automatic messages uh

26:20section. Now, speaking of automating

26:22your customer service, there's one other

26:24thing that you're going to be able to

26:24automate, which is actually going to

26:25change really how you run your entire

26:28drop shipping business, and I'll show

26:29you that at the end. Now, if you run

26:32over to the general, this is where we're

26:33going to see the monitoring for product

26:36quantity. So, on here, we have a minimum

26:38product quantity. So, here, let's take

26:40for example, if my supplier has less

26:42than 10 products, then I don't know if I

26:44want to run the risk of somebody placing

26:45the order and then my supplier not

26:46having anything and not having their

26:48inventory updated. So, from here, it'll

26:50automatically set our inventory to zero,

26:53so nobody can place the order. Let's say

26:54you're a bit more lenient on it, maybe

26:56five. If your supplier has listed five

26:59products, then on your end it's going to

27:01show as zero, and then if they have six

27:03products, then you're going to have

27:05available one. And now since we are

27:07doing different settings for on Amazon

27:09supplier, we can choose if we want prime

27:11first or cheapest first. So, if we can

27:13get a little bit longer shipping, but

27:15we're going to get a cheaper price point

27:17or a cheaper shipping option, we can

27:19choose cheapest first, but my suggestion

27:21is I just go prime first. You don't have

27:23to go prime only because this is only

27:25going to limit you to products that are

27:26available through prime. So, just do

27:28prime first, and then if that's not

27:29available, it'll default to cheapest

27:31first. Right, so now let's move on to

27:33the automations because this is very

27:35important, and this is

27:36really what's going to make you that

27:38AutoDS automation expert. This is going

27:40to automate one of the most important

27:41parts of your entire drop shipping

27:43store, and that's going to be your

27:44pricing. So, let's go ahead and click on

27:46add automation. So, let's say this is

27:48going to be specific for, I don't know,

27:50my camping products. So, camping

27:52automation. Doesn't have to be for a

27:54specific niche, it could just be for

27:55whatever category of products that you

27:57want to set this automation to. You can

27:59make multiple different types of

28:00automations, or not even camping, let's

28:02say Amazon. Let's go with Amazon. So, we

28:05can apply this to really any product

28:06that we decide to source from Amazon.

28:09And I'll show you how to do it in a

28:10second. So, let's go ahead and click on

28:10next. Now, from here you can either turn

28:12this off or you can leave this on.

28:14You're going to have the option for when

28:16pricing increase and when it decreases.

28:19When the number of sales is higher than

28:21one, every single day, then you're going

28:24to set the price. So, for here, let's We

28:27don't want to do one day, right? We want

28:28to do a test. So, let's do, let's say,

28:31whenever you're making more than 10

28:32sales every 3 days, maybe we can go

28:34ahead and start to raise our price by 2%

28:37up to a limit of 6%.

28:41So, we can start to increase our price

28:42in increments of 2% up to the 6%, and

28:46then that's where it's going to stick

28:47to. And you can also do it in terms of a

28:50dollar value, so increase the product

28:51price by $2 up to, let's say, $10. If

28:55you're happy with this, we can go ahead

28:56and click on next and then we can do the

28:58same thing for when we want to decrease

28:59our sales prices. So, if we're not

29:01making at least five sales in, let's

29:04say, five different days, we can

29:05decrease the product price by 10% up to

29:09a limit of 20%. Well, maybe 10% is too

29:11much. Let's go ahead and go with

29:13Let's just do the 2% again.

29:15And let's leave this at 15%. And we can

29:17also, again, add a dollar amount to it.

29:19So, we can go ahead and just switch this

29:20over to a dollar up to $10. If the $10

29:24mark is the most that we want to

29:26decrease our prices by. We click on next

29:28and now we can assign these automations

29:30to different products. So, the good

29:32thing about this is that we're able to

29:33assign these automations to products

29:34that we know are going to be within our

29:36range for this type of pricing that

29:38we're going for. Sometimes you want to

29:39set these automations for products that

29:41maybe cost a little bit less. You want

29:43to give them higher percentages because

29:44it's not going to be something that the

29:46customer is going to be able to notice

29:47hugely, but let's say with something

29:49that costs $120, a 10% price increase or

29:54even a 2% price increase is something

29:56that can be pretty noticeable. So, this

29:57is something that's very good to be able

29:58to filter based on your different types

30:00of products. Now, you can go ahead and

30:02set these right now or you can assign

30:04the different products to it later. As

30:05you saw earlier, we can also do it

30:06through our supplier settings. So, for

30:08now, let's just go ahead and click on

30:09I'll assign the products later and then

30:11we have our different automations over

30:12here. Now, if we go back to supplier

30:14settings, we click on our pricing over

30:17here, we have our new Amazon automation.

30:20Now, the next thing that I do want to

30:21talk to you about in terms of being able

30:22to automate is going to be automating

30:24your sourcing. So, from here, whenever

30:27we do get an order to our store, we can

30:29click on our orders tab over here. We're

30:31going to look at our different orders

30:32and we can request sourcing. So, looking

30:35through here, I have this order over

30:36here. You can see that I'm able to

30:39request sourcing. So, what does that

30:40mean? That means I can send off a

30:42request to all of our different private

30:44suppliers and see who can give us a

30:46better offer. Some suppliers might be

30:48able to give us better pricing. Other

30:49suppliers might be able to give us uh

30:51faster shipping. Some might even be able

30:53to get us better quality products.

30:55Others might be able to get us all

30:56three. So, this is a very handy feature.

30:58Not just for us, but also for our

31:00customers. So, let's go ahead and click

31:01on request sourcing. And then up to

31:03that, you're going to have a few results

31:04that are in the instant. And we're also

31:06going to have up to 24 hours for some

31:07other suppliers to be able to reply back

31:10to us and give us their offers.

31:12So, if we look at this one over here, we

31:14can click on review sourcing.

31:15This one, I believe, only got us one

31:17different supplier that was offering the

31:18same product. Now, just so you know, if

31:20we click on the sourcing request over

31:21here, you're also be able to see all of

31:22the different products that you sourced

31:24or that you've sent out uh sourcing

31:26requests for.

31:27And another way that you can send out a

31:29sourcing request is if you go to your

31:30products, which is the products that we

31:32have imported to our store already.

31:34Let's say this aquamarine reflective dog

31:36collar. We can request sourcing directly

31:38from here as well. Just so you know, if

31:39you do request sourcing from the

31:41products page, it is going to take one

31:43auto order credit. But if you do it from

31:45your existing orders, it's completely

31:46free. So, for now, let's just go ahead

31:48and click on proceed with sourcing

31:50because honestly, that one auto order

31:51credit is totally worth it if you're

31:52going to be saving a good amount of

31:54money or being able to provide a better

31:55product. But as you can see, right now,

31:57it's currently actually searching for

31:58different matches. And here we have all

32:00of the different ones. We even have a

32:02similarity score. So, which one of these

32:04is going to be more similar to this? We

32:06can go ahead and check out any one of

32:07these and if one of these are what we're

32:09looking for, we can simply click on

32:10continue

32:11and replace the current supplier that we

32:14have for this product with this new one.

32:17Now, you can see here it has the pricing

32:19for it. So, this one's actually only 28

32:21cents. This one right here is 29 cents.

32:22Of course, this does not include any

32:24shipping fees or anything like that. For

32:26more information, just click on the

32:27little eyeball on it and then it's going

32:29to bring this up. So, it does go between

32:3184 to 98 cents per collar. That's

32:33actually really cheap considering that

32:35these are sold for like 25 to 30 or $40

32:38on like Pet Supermarket. The shipping

32:40price is between $6.41 to $13. So, we

32:42still have room to be able to make some

32:44money from this. And there's a few

32:46different variations as well. So, they

32:47have fuchsia, they have gray, blue, red.

32:49And again, if this is better than what

32:51we currently have, if this is a better

32:53offer, we can click on select product.

32:55We can click on from here add variation,

32:58and then we choose whichever variation

33:00it is that we want. So, we can let's say

33:01go with red. Go ahead and click on

33:03continue. And then this other variation

33:05is going to be linked to the product.

33:06Now, I don't know if you saw earlier,

33:07but we did have a manual option to be

33:10able to source the different products,

33:12and that one is going to take up to 24

33:14hours because it's not going to be an

33:15automatic way of doing it. That's when

33:16our suppliers are going to be sending us

33:18the offers. All right, remember how I

33:19told you earlier that there's one extra

33:20thing I wanted to show you on automating

33:22your customer service? Well, this right

33:23here is really going to essentially be

33:26the cherry on the top for you becoming

33:28an AutoDS automation expert. And by the

33:30way, our sourcing actually just

33:32finished. Before I show you that, let's

33:33go ahead and see this. So, perfect. As

33:35you can see here, we have our new

33:36product is linked. So, this is going to

33:37be another variation. If we do want to

33:39add any more, we can go ahead and change

33:41any of these other ones. So, if you want

33:42to do purple now, and we want to make it

33:45in an extra large, we can go ahead and

33:46link this product. Also, just so you

33:48know, you can always order a sample

33:50order from any of the different pages

33:51that we're on so that way you can

33:52actually see what the product is like.

33:54So, anyway, back to what we were saying.

33:55If we click back to settings, and then

33:57we go to users, here we can add virtual

34:00assistants. And this changes the game

34:02completely because this is going to

34:04essentially take customer service away

34:06from you and just give it to somebody

34:08else. And the best part is again, it's

34:10all automated because you're able to

34:12give them access to certain parts of

34:14your AutoDS dashboard. You don't have to

34:15give them access to everything. All you

34:17have to do is click on add user. Let's

34:19say I'm adding Robert the VA. It's going

34:22to be robertva@email.com,

34:25and we can set a password for them. So,

34:27let's do robertva1234.

34:29Keep it simple.

34:30So, privilege, are they going to have

34:32access to all my stores or only a select

34:34amount of stores? So, I can choose here

34:36which ones I want them to have access

34:37to.

34:38In this case, I can do all of my stores

34:39if I choose to. And what can they look

34:41at? What can they see? What will they

34:43have access to? Well, really I just want

34:44him to go to my products and I want him

34:46to see all the orders and just make sure

34:47that everything has been shipped the way

34:50it's supposed to. Or I just want them to

34:52solely take care of customer service.

34:54Well, I can do that through here. So, I

34:55can give them access to only the

34:56dashboard and customer service messages

34:59and cases.

35:00And that's it. I can go from here to

35:02click on add user and Robert the VA is

35:04now our official virtual assistant that

35:06can now log in to our system, to our

35:09AutoDS using their new credentials, and

35:11they will only have access to what we

35:13give them. Let's say they prove their

35:15worth and they're actually really good,

35:16we can start to give them more access as

35:18we go along and then click on save

35:19again, and then we can keep updating

35:21their access that way. We can have

35:23different VAs for different stores. You

35:24can have multiple VAs for one store.

35:26It's really all up to you. So, hopefully

35:28by now you have all the information that

35:29you need to be an AutoDS automation

35:31expert and really hit the ground running

35:33with your drop shipping store and start

35:35making some sales and save a lot of time

35:36while you reinvest that time into things

35:38that matter more like product research,

35:41importing more products to your store,

35:42and really scaling your overall drop

35:44shipping store. Remember, if you want

35:45access to the cheat sheet, just drop a

35:46comment with the hashtag automation. Let

35:48me know which one of these automations

35:49is your favorite or the one that you

35:50find most useful. And if you want to

35:51learn more about the AutoDS system and

35:53learn really every single thing that

35:55makes it work and how it works or how

35:57you can get started with drop shipping
