How to start a dropshipping business from scratch
A crash course 😂

1. Know what you are getting into
Before you dive in head first in any business you have to know what you are gonna face there
Don't worry I got you, I've put up a video on common problems most dropshippers face in the business and how you can avoid them, check it out here👇🏾
2. Now before you get into dropshipping you need a site(we'll talk about that later)where you actually put up the products you wanna dropship, but before that you need to actually know the kind of products you want to dropship to build your site around,
so you must be thinking what am I going to be dropshipping?
Well you could start with "Air", no just kidding 😂 so you have to choose a business idea that you will use to build your brand and reputation, there are literally many business idea you could choose from,......
and make consistent funds,
Heck some people make money from selling dog bow ties 🤯
Some ideas that could help you get started
a. You can sell exercise equipment
b. iPhone cases
c. Anything you know that people need and always demand for
You got some ideas? Cool
If you don't, do not fret, I gat you, my brother @THEDONOFECOM has created an ebook that would teach you how to find products that make fast sales in the market, (he's a life saver by the way)...
you don't have to create a brand idea now, you can still start dropshipping, so you can get the link to the ebook which I also affiliate for here, with no extra cost to you👇🏾

Alright now that's settled let's get on
3. So you have a business idea and you know your niche, or you've bought the book and you have a product in mind, the question you'll be asking is where do you get the products you'll dropship? Well you need a supplier,....
this is a very important part of the dropshipping business, because without suppliers, a dropshipping business wouldn’t have any products to ship to customers and, therefore, cease to exist.
Now you need to find a dropshipping supplier that gives you the high-quality service you need to grow.
So how do you get them? Well if you are using a SHOPIFY site(more info on SHOPIFY later),.....
well shopify offers a plug-and-play style option for finding potential suppliers by connecting Oberlo to your online store. 
Now Oberlo is an app that manages forwarding your orders to your dropshipping supplier....
so you never need to worry about packaging, shipping, or managing inventory. It costs nothing to get started.
you can do more research, it also uses AliExpress to help you find and add products to your store.
4. So I said earlier that before you make actual money with dropshipping you need a site, where you put up the products you actually want to dropship
So now you what you are getting yourself into, you are ready for it, you know the business model you'll use,....
you know the supplier you would be using, what next?
Well you have to create a site, I'll recommend building a SHOPIFY site (I'm bias I know, but you could do more research to know what works best) SHOPIFY offers free membership for a period of time, so you can start now!
Now you may be thinking how do I create the fucking site?
Well I still gat you, keep on reading, you see my guy the @THEDONOFECOM has also put up an ebook on how to create a one product SHOPIFY site that actually converts,....
you can get it here here using my affiliate link, no additional cost to you👇🏾

https://gumroad.com/a/28898419/unehO
You don't have to get the course, but if you want to save yourself the unnecessary trials and error of building a site that doesn't convert,.....
then I recommend you get it, well moving on

5. You have to decide on a business structure
If you are serious about this business, you'll want to setup a legitimate business entity.
Now these are three commonly used business structures: 👇🏾
a. Sole proprietorship
b. C corporation
c. Limited liability company (LLC)

If you want to know more you can do more research on the 3, I can't really offer legal advice😂, I'm not a lawyer, so do your research and find out what works best for you
6. Now that we are done with the legal stuff😃
It's time to market your store, how do you do that?
Through
Influencers marketing
Content marketing
Running paid ads( Facebook or Google )
Mobile marketing
Communities

For fb ads my brother @JakubSzunyogh can help! He's good!
7. So the last one, most people don't talk about it and it can really hurt your business if you don't take note, you have to conduct a consistent analysis of your business and also improve what you are offering, so you can boost your sales more,.....
If you are using a @Shopify site, the
@Shopify analytics helps you to track your sales, shopper behavior and your profit margins.
So that's about it, don't try to overcomplicate things,....
I have given you a detailed blueprint of how it's done, you get the remaining through experience
So start making money today
The year is running out
Do shit!

I'm still your boy ALPHAKING, peace✌🏾
