My Dropshipping Journey with AliExpress

Waow this is diamond information right here!! I wonder how you find narrow niche just like you thought of harry potter

 

Is this your full time job?

 

Yes, it is my full time jod.

Thinking, searching and exploring. Check my first posts on this thread to learn about it.

 

What is the advantage in having so many websites producing such minuscule profits? It seems like some of your websites have more potential than others, in terms of visitor/sales ratio. Have you considered focusing on your most profitable/potential websites instead of having such a diverse portfolio? It seems like your current net income per month in total is in the range of $4500-6000 a month, which isn't a lot.

 

Hi Yaros, I really like your website. It looks cool and I can see that you put a lot of work in it. One question so, as the items are coming from China don't the customers have to face a long wait for their items and aren't the shipping costs quite high? I would be interested in your experience. Many thanks, Christina

 

@uce2009 , Christina, this question already was asked and answered, see the first page of the thread, question #7

 

The advantage of having many site gives a possibility to scale your business. All these sites are your assets that could be easily sold some day. For example, I am selling on Flippa.
flippa.com/5838845-gopro-accessories-dropshipping-business-250-m-profit-100-organic-traffic sold for $1500.

By the way, most of my sites are only 2-3 months old, so hope they start generate more revenue soon

 

@yaros , does PayPal holds your earnings a while before release your money to you? And I faced a problem with my old personal PayPal account - they refused accept payment for product with the reason something like "the seller can not send products from his country" or something like that...
I am not US-based seller.
As far as I can see you are not US-resident and accept PayPal, were there any problems with such a combination?

Thanks for your reply!

 

I think such problems can happen if you have a Russian or Indian Paypal... My PayPal is registered in Philippines and I have never had such issues.

 

Yes, you are right, I have Russian account and now struggling with them about acception international payments.
Sure there are other solutions to accept payments and I will go for them.
Thanks for your quick reply!

 

So, Ive created my site. I want to sell but I am worried that it will be to hard to manage as my products are all coming from different wholseailors (Aliexpress) mainly. What is your most cost efficient solution to managing inventory from different whole sailors? How can I automate the payment and shipping process and can this be done for free?

 

I am managing products, variations, sellers and inventory using my plugin. It updates everything automatically. As for placing orders I have not heard about 100% automated solutions, however my solution allow me filling all my clients' details automatically, so I only need to click Pay Now button.

 

@ Yaros, beautiful site you got there. I especially liked the layout / theme you got going on your goprostuffmarket. May I ask is that theme custom? If so, would you be willing to sell it? I'd love to have a copy for myself if possible.

 

Yes, I developed this theme myself but I don't sell шею Anyway it works only with my Plugin and it would be difficult to use it with other solutions.

 

So, aliexpress has no paypal options. But the other paypal china shops has items but not so much like aliexpress. Do you know some payments options on aliexpress that is same like paypal? I have no credit card

 

Anyway you need pay with credit card on AliExpress.

 

Hello Yaros, amazing amazing stuff you shared with us here. I wish you all the best with your stores

Many people have said in the past that they got into trouble for selling trademarked stuff, which some of your stuff is like Harry Potter. What do you think about this? Any special measures not to get caught?

 

I am doing it on my own risk. Besides I run other sites that do not deal with trademarks.

 

It was not an easy trick but finally I have integrated Google Analytics in the Plugin. Now I can observe all my traffic stats without leaving my plugin admin area.

 

How is the revenue looking?
