Hey you guys my name is Hogan and in this video, I'll be showing you how to create a drop shipping website using WordPress
Alright, so this is the website. I'll be showing you how to create now
If you're not familiar with drop shipping
Basically how this works is you'll have your website over here and we'll be able to import the products directly from the supplier website
Into our own website and then we can market the product to our customers
Alright
And then once your customer purchases the products
Then we can order the product from the supplier and the supplier will ship the product directly to the customer
So essentially you don't have to invest thousands of dollars into the inventory without knowing if it's going to sell
You can get started with drop shipping today
And once you actually get you know a few sales
Then you can actually import and you know brand your items and things like that, right?
So drop shipping is great for beginners to get started with e-commerce just to learn the ropes and how everything works
So I'll show you example exactly how it works on our website over here
Okay, so this is our website and we can go to our suppliers website over here and we can select from all these different types
of categories
So let's say for example
We want to import some phone cases and we just click into the category
Right so we can look at all these different types of products as you can see
They sell it for like a dollar or two dollars. For example, let's say you want to import this one over here
We can click on import. All right, and that's going to directly import onto our website over here. Alright, so if we refresh the page
Then we scroll down
Then you should see it imported over here, right?
So it's imported onto our import list and we'll need to publish it onto our website
So let's just say for example, your customer comes onto your store and they like this product over here
Alright, so just click into that product. Okay, so they can basically select the product that they want
So for example, they might want to add this one over here and then they can add it to cart
proceed to checkout
Okay, so they can fill in the information over here. They can scroll down and put in their credit card details
So this is just a test credit card by the way, and then they can click on complete order
So once the order is complete, then they'll receive a order notification as well same with you
You can also go back to your dashboard area
And this is where we can actually use
the ally dropship plug-in to send me automate the ordering process so it can hover over orders over here and then click on orders and
Then when click on the new order which just came in right? So it's not processed yet. Click into that and
then we can click on place order automatically and
that is good and basically connect with our suppliers website and fill in all the customers details the phone number their address and
Basically the product that they've selected from the supplier and it's going to order the product for us
All right. So the supplier will receive the order once you pay them and then they'll ship the product directly to your customer
Ok, so that's pretty much it now in this video
I'll be showing you everything that you need to know about creating your drop shipping website using WordPress and it's gonna be really really amazing
So without much further ado, I'm gonna go through exactly what we need to get started
So to create our drop shipping website, we'll need four basic things
So the first thing that you need is a domain name, so that is basically just your website's address
For example your store com or like google.com and hosting is basically where your website files will be stored, right?
So we need those two things
Now if you got those two things then you can definitely skip ahead and then I'll show you how to install WordPress
Which is completely free and WordPress is a content management system and that basically allows us to create any website any blog any e-commerce
Website without learning how to code then we'll be using a lead dropship
So this is sort of like a plugin that we add onto our website
for extra functionality and it's gonna help us automatically import the products directly onto our website and
Also send me automate the ordering process and all the functions they need for dropshipping website. So that is pretty much it
So what I do also recommend is using the Chrome browser because we're going to be using some Chrome extensions for this tutorial
Ok, so we're gonna get our hosting at site ground
So you can either click on the link down below or you can just type it into your browser. So site ground
Com forward slash go forward slash unlocked, right?
So this is the discount of filt link and basically if you do purchase through that link
Then i'll get a commission for the sale and that basically just helps support these free tutorials for you guys
And you also get a discount as well. Ok
So here are three different plans that you can choose from now personally
I have to go geek plan, but that's probably a little bit too much if you're building your first website
that's normally for people who want to create sort of multiple websites and you're building websites for
clients and things like that
That way you can host it all under one account right the same thing with the grow big you can also have unlimited website
so you can have
Like your website your friend's website and a few clients website and that way you're gonna save a lot of money because it's all hosted
under one account
So if you're just starting out you create your first website
Then you might go with a startup plan and you can upgrade within the dashboard later on as well
Okay, so you can also check out the premium features as well. If you do want to check out those other plans
All right. So for this tutorial, we're gonna click on get plan and here we're gonna register a new domain
So your domain is basically just your website's address
Now sometimes you do have to be a little bit creative because it can be taken
Now if you have sort of bought your domain from like GoDaddy or Namecheap, then you want to select this option over here
Okay, if you don't then just register a new domain and you also get a free
Sort of domain for the first year as well. So for this tutorial, I'm just gonna call it maybe
Tutorial demo maybe ninety one. All right, and hopefully that's not taken and here you can select the sort of domain
You know country-specific
Extension, right? So I might just go with .com. And then what you want to do is just click on proceed
To see if that has been taken. Okay, so that's done. Okay
So what you want to do is fill in your email address and your password as well as your client information and payment information
so once you've finished filling in your information
Then you can go to the hosting services over here and you can actually select the data center
So this is one of the main benefits of site ground is you can click over here and you can choose the data center
Which is closest to your audience, right?
So that basically means that if the data center is closer to your audience, the website's going to learn a lot quicker
So with a lot of other web hosts
Sometimes their data center is mainly just in the United States and that way if you are based in Asia or Australia
Then your website's gonna load quite slowly and psych round. You can actually choose
All right, so I'm gonna go with Australia and Sydney now for the period here
So normally the longer that you actually choose the bigger discount you'll get right so you can actually choose 24 months as well
And 36 months as well
But the best deal that you can get is probably 12 months
Because I've already got a few accounts loose at ground already and this is just demo tutorial
I'm just gonna select the month to month plan. Okay, and for the domain privacy?
So this basically will hide the information that you put up before right?
So if you are just like operating from your house and you don't want people to see your information
Because normally people can actually search up
You know your personal name and your contact number and you might get a lot of spam and things like that
So if you do want to avoid that, then you can select the main privacy. It's recommended but not necessary
All right
so we're gonna scroll down over here and then
We can select I confirm and if you want to get like news and updates, then you can select that as well
So I'm going to undertake that. So once you've checked everything then we can click on Pay Now
Okay, so your account has successfully been created click on proceed to customer area. Okay
so what you need to do is just log in again with your details that you provided before and then click on next and then
Click on login. So this is your site ground dashboard area. Okay, so we're gonna do is just click on setup website and
here start a new website click on select and
We're going to install WordPress over here select and here you need to put in your email address
So I'm going to put in dstutorial
91
Right. So we're creating the sort of login credentials for our WordPress accounts. Okay, and then click on continue and
If you want to get the SiteGround site scanner, if you want that you can click on add. I'm just gonna click on finish
Alright, so that's going to take a few minutes to create your website. So while SiteGround is creating your WordPress installation
You also get a few emails as well and you just need to click into it to verify
All right. So let's click into that one and
We just need to click on this to verify the information of your domain and things like that
So I'm just gonna wait for that to load. Let's click on back over here and
Then we're gonna set up and click on this one over here. Alright and click on set data use as well
so that does take a little bit time to
Load up so consent is optional. So for this one, I'm not going to consent. I'm just gonna save consent
Alright, and that's done and the other one over here
We need to verify the information. All right, and that should be done. Alright so we can go back over here and
Your website should be created. All right, they'll also send you an information about your account over here as well
we can go back over here and
What we need to do is just click on manage site. Ok, so here we can go to WordPress
install and manage
Right. So as you can see WordPress has been stalled on to our domain over here and we can click on the sort of icon
over here login to a headpin panel and
That's gonna log us in to our new WordPress website. So here we don't want to use the WordPress starter
I'm gonna be showing you how to create everything from scratch. So what you want to do is make sure you click exit
All right, and that's going to take you to your dashboard area in your site ground WordPress website. Ok
so before we actually start building, I do want to go through just some basics of WordPress and how to really you know,
optimize all the best settings for your WordPress installation
Right. So the first thing I want to show you is the home page, right?
So if you hover over on the top here and click on visit site, this is what your website looks like right now
right, so we'll be installing a theme and also the plug-in a little bit later so
If we want to log out our website, so this is what we see when we're creating our website
so what our customers will see once we log out is
We'll go over here to a domain name and just delete that and click on OK, right?
And then this is what your customers will see
So if you want to log back in to your dashboard area and start, you know building your website, then you need to type in
/w pace or WordPress
-
Admin, and then click on enter right and that's going to take you to the login panel and this is where you just need to
Put in your email or your user name that you set up before. So in this case, it's das tutorial 91
Jumma calm and then i'm just going to put in my password that we set in before and then we're gonna click on login
All right, so generally you can actually save it to your Chrome browser if you want to as well
Which I might do
I'm going to close that and what I
Recommend is to just bookmark that on to your browser
So that anytime that you want to log in then you'll be just clicking on that link
Alright, so I'm just going to close these things on the top over here
alright and
The first thing I want to show you is go to settings and click on permalinks, right?
So you want to ensure that for your permalink settings? You want to select post name, right?
So basically when you're creating like a new page or a new post
The title will be included in the sort of permalink array of URL, right?
Because I know a lot of people might be you know
Using different web host and it might be set to custom structure or something different
So you just want to make sure that is set in properly and just click on Save Changes
Then the next thing I want to do is click on plugins
Right. So if you are sort of you have different plugins install already
What I generally recommend is to deactivate all your plugins. So just select all and
Deactivate it right so I'm gonna deactivate this one over here. Okay, WordPress startup and
I'm gonna delete it. Right so plugins are basically sort of apps but for your website, right, so there's normally a plug-in for
Everything that you need for example, like security if you want to backup your website if you want to add additional features
There is a plug-in. Okay, so I'll be showing you how to install plugins a little bit later
Alright, so generally you don't want too many plugins on your website
Otherwise, it's gonna be you know slow and sometimes they might conflict with in terms of building our website
Alright, then we click on pages over here and I'm gonna delete everything year here and move it to trash and click on apply
click on trash and select that and delete permanently and apply we're gonna click on post and
If there is any post then just delete it
I'm gonna trash it as well over here delete permanently and that's all good to go
So as you can see, if you're using site ground, then you'll notice that your website is going to be superfast
Mainly because you know for site ground, they use really good sort of servers and that just makes your website load
You know it performs really good
So before we actually install the theme and also the plug-in I do want to show you how to make your website secure
So as you can see here
It says not secure and generally what you want for your website is to have a secure and also a lock symbol
Otherwise people might not trust your website and especially if you're creating an e-commerce website
Because we're going to be accepting credit cards on our website then we need to make sure that it's secure
all right, so we can hover over and click on dashboard and
We need to just install a plugin. Alright, so click on plugins over here and
here add new and
we're gonna install a plugin so it's gonna be called really simple SSL and just click on enter and
It's this one over here. Ok. Bye really simple plugins click on install and then click on activate
Ok, so sometimes you might see this issue over here and that just basically means that for your domain
You don't have the SSL certificate installed yet, right?
So what you need to do is if you're with psych round
then you can just go to psych out ok, and click on web sites and
click on site tools
So we just need to ensure that the SSL is installed on our domain
Sometimes I think it's automatically done
But sometimes it might not be set up yet. So click on security
SSL manager
Alright, so here there is no SSL installed on a domain yet
So what I'm gonna do is select the let's encrypt right and then click on get right
So if you're with like another host, then you need to contact your web host
And or you can actually do it in cPanel as well
If you click on this link over here
I think they'll have an instruction on how to actually set that up in your cPanel area
Alright, so it's not too hard and once you do that, then we can reload it and then it will work
So let's just wait for that to process and we'll come back. It's installed that did take two minutes
So let's go back over here and let's try and reload. Ok, so we need to log back in and that
Should be done. All right, so. Let's go over here and just close that for now
Ok, I think that should be done. I'm just gonna click on that again click on login and
Close it
Let's go over here and visit site and a lock symbol should be showing
Right, so that is what you do if you have
You know don't have SSL if you're on other web host for a site ground. You can also go to https enforce as well
This is like another way that you can do it
But we just did it this way because there's a lot of people who are sort of following and you're using different hosts
Okay. So once that is done, let's go over and visit our website. Okay, everything's all good
Let's close everything that on top of here, and you can also clear things up over here by clicking on the screen options
Right because sometimes you don't need all this stuff over here. Now, you can also hide it right here, right?
So I'm just gonna hide everything
Hide this and maybe hide this and like that and just leave that over there and close that over there
Okay
so to install the theme and also the plug-in that I'm gonna be using so open up a new tab and
Just type in Hoganchua.com/ali and we're gonna be using Ali dropship plug-in for this
so click on buy now for
$89
Alright, so here just filling your information your email as well as your credit card information, so
I'm gonna quickly do that and then here for your coupon
You can actually use a coupon to save I think fifteen percent off. So just type in Hogan and click on apply and
Here you're gonna save thirteen dollars. Alright, so once everything is done just click on complete order
Ok, so I'm just gonna scroll down right? So they've got additional offers probably don't need that right now
So let's go down over here and just skip this step
Ok, so here is your license key as well as the plug-in downloads as well. I'm gonna download this one over here for PHP
7.2. Right. So I think cyclone is using 7.2 out above so we're gonna download that and
We're gonna download that onto your computer. Alright, and then we're also gonna click on see all themes
So I might just open that in a new tab
Right and we're gonna scroll down and it's going to be using your free theme for this tutorial
But obviously you can use some other paid themes as well. I always think these ones I could want to start off with right
it's called the Rubens theme and just click on View details and
Then download the theme
Okay. So once you've downloaded the plugin as well as the theme it should look something like this in the zip file format
Then what you need to do is just go back over here and go back to your website
all right, and let's just close that for now and we want to go to appearance click on themes and
I'm gonna click on add new upload theme choose file and
Then I'm gonna select the Rubens theme. Okay, make sure it's the dot zip file. Otherwise, I'm going to upload properly click on open and
Install now and then we're gonna click on activate
alright, so if we go back and visit our website, it's gonna say to
Activate the Ali dropship plug-in. Let's go back over here. And we want to install the plug-in as well
so click on add new and then
Upload plug-in choose file and
Then select this one over here. Ok, click on open
install
Alright, just click on activate plugin
Okay, so let's click on Alidropship over here. So this is the ally dropship menu and we want to activate the license key
so click on license and
Want to paste in a license key that you've got over here
Right, so copy that and you probably should get an email as well if you don't see it
Let's cut B over here and let's copy paste
activate and
Then on the right here, it should say that it is activated on your website just like that
now this license key is only valid for one domain only if you do want to sort of
Delete this domain and delete this website and you want to buy a new website
Then you can actually use the license key. You just need to contact the support to deactivate it
Alright now if you want to build multiple dropshipping websites, then you'll need multiple licenses
Okay, so this license is also includes support as well
so you can also check out like their knowledge base and
Contact the support team and you can also check out their forum as well if you do need additional help
All right. So now that's pretty much good to go and I'll show you how to import your products and things like that
But if you do have problems
Normally, the problem will be that your PHP might not be high enough
Then you might need to
Upgrade your PHP version normally can do that in cPanel, or you can just ask your host to do it
You can also click on how it works over here as well and contact their support to help you
You know install it. Okay. So what I'm going to do is just close these ones over here and
We need to install a sort of Chrome extension. Now Chrome extension is going to be called I think Ali dropship
Chrome extension click on enter and it should be the first one over here
Alright we want to install this Chrome extension onto our sort of browser and click on add to Chrome
just add two extension and
There's also another one that I recommend so it's called ali
Let's just click on close for that
so let's search for
Aliexpress and then this one's gonna be an image
downloader
Alright so it should be I think this one over here
I'll Express image downloader and
This is going to help you download the images from Aliexpress because sometimes you might need to use the images for you know
Your Facebook ads or just on your website and you can't really download it properly on Aliexpress itself
so this Chrome extensions just gonna make it super easy and
Just add that in
Alright and I'm gonna close that and that should be good to go, right
So the next thing you want to do is you want to connect the Ali dropship plug-in and also the website with the Chrome extension
alright, so click over here click on that and
What you want to do is just copy your URL from the top here
copy and
Click on that and paste that into here and then click on add
Alright, and that should be added right so we can click on login and that's gonna authenticate with your website
So just click on authorize and that should be authorized
Alright, so if you click over here and click on Ali dropship, then it should show like a green symbol, right?
And that just shows it's connected. All right, so that's gonna allow you to import the products from Aliexpress
so to import products from Aliexpress click on import over here and
We can click on direct import from Aliexpress so you do want to also create an account with Aliexpress as well
So if you don't have one just click on join really really simple to sign up. I'm just gonna sign into my account
Okay
so in this video
I'm probably not going to go too in depth about like competition research or which you should pick on which products you pick
I'm going to go through and just explain just like the basics of it and
Let's say for example, we go to men's clothing and you want to upload hoodies, right?
So the first thing that you probably want to do is you probably want to avoid things like Puma Nike
Things that are basically trademarked, right?
so you want to avoid those things and
The next thing that you want to do is you probably want to select free shipping as well
Right and you can also select by the number of orders on top over here, right?
Because you want to select a product which has been proven to sell and proven in terms of the rating and the reviews as well
So I probably wouldn't sell something like this right because it's very very basic when you're doing dropshipping
You want to find something that's a little bit more unique
And also leave a video also leave a link in description below which has a really good article on you know
Which products to avoid and which products to select right? So think about a
product which is very very unique that you normally don't find in a store because in terms of drop shipping
Our competitive advantage is not like shipping times or the prices, but rather
More about like it's a unique product and something that people would buy
Impulsively. Ok, so if we go back over here and
Let's say for example we search for this one
So I think this is a pretty good item in terms of a product right so mosquito
It's a LED light thing, right? It's very very nice
I think when you're also picking up products, you probably want to think about okay who you're gonna target with this product, right?
And let's say we click into this product over here. You also want to look at
you know do they have videos and do they have images that you can use on your website as well as
Advertisements and things like that as well. Okay
So if you download the image downloader you can actually click on this and you can download all the images on the page
Right, and then you can use for your advertising materials and things like that
So what you want to do is you want to also have a look at the products. For example
Scroll down over here right and look at the product
Generally, if you do want to sell something, you also want to make sure that the actual reviews of the product is really good
right
so this one has really really good reviews five star reviews and you want to check if people have you know,
Left some good comments. So you know that you're selling something good, right?
So generally, what I would do is just get them to send me the product right and basically, you know
Check the product for myself, and I can also create
Advertisements for it as well. Right? So this one's not too bad, right?
I probably target this at you know
maybe Southeast Asian countries or countries with a lot of mosquitoes because I know that you know when I go back to
Malaysia for holidays and things like that. There's always like mosquitoes at nighttime
It's always buzzing around and really really annoying and sometimes in the morning, you know, I get bitten right so
You know, this product might be really good for you know, targeting maybe parents if they have like a child or something like that
It's not a bad product. Right? So let's say if you're ready to import this products
Another thing that you want to do is you want to check if this product is actually sold by other sellers as well
So what you can do is click on the search item over here
Right and see if it actually sold generally for this one
As you can see before it was actually sold by a lot of other sellers as well
So you want to check which one has good reviews and also a good pricing as well as you can also check
The shipping right? So right now for United States the shipping times for United States is not very good
so you might want to target, you know other countries, which
You know might enjoy this product right? So if you go United States
The shipping times is not very good. For example, August, you know, that's quite a long time maybe like three four weeks
But then again if you ship to like let's say Australia and some other countries, then it might be a little bit better
So you can also check different suppliers as they you know, have different shipping methods as well. So let's say let's try Malaysia
Have a look at that
Okay, but if we go and click over here, let's have a look at maybe this one over here
Right and let's go yes, as you can see, right they offer different sort of shipping methods as well this company over here
Let's try Malaysia. So you want to make sure you find the right supplier. Yeah, okay
So you also go to express shipping as well. You can also click into the supplier so you can go to their store home
Right and make sure that's you know
They've been around for a while and they also sell other products and they're also got good ratings as well because last thing you want
Is for your supplier not to you know ship your goods to your customers and things like that
Okay
So let's say if we're ready to import
I'm just going to select this one over here. And let's just import this one over here close everything on the top. Okay
So what you can do is over here
You can click on edits or you can click on import
right
So edit is basically you can just edit the title in here as well because the title is way too long
So you want to make sure you put maybe something that is unique, but also maybe a ultraviolet, you know, LED
mosquito
Mosquito repellants I think a lamp is a good word repellant lamp
Okay, and then you also want to make sure that you put that into your permalink structure, which is your URL as well. Put the
The dashes in between as well
Okay and take that, okay, so we're going to add a new category so let's just say this category is
electronics and
Then click on add so scrolling down. You've got the
Description over here, right? So you want to make sure that you create your own description from their description over here
so you want to make sure you describe the products all the benefits how it can be used and
The best thing about it is that they've got really nice images that you can use
Or you can definitely get this product and send it to someone to take product photography
You can go to five are like let's say five accom
Right and a lot of people offer like freelancing services so you can do like products
Photography
right, so you can send the product to the Fiverr sales and they can create really nice lifestyle images with your
Products and things like that as well, right?
So I'll leave all the links in the description below with like all the resources that we'll be using in the tutorial
So scrolling down some things you might need to remove like for example like this one over here. You can delete that and
Let's say you delete that as well. Okay and scrolling down, right?
So sometimes products might have a logo on the left hand side here. Right so you can click on the item and
You can actually remove it right so I'll show you in another product that will input. So let's just ignore that for now and
Scrolling down everything looks okay so we can add or publish so I'm gonna add to import list first
Now we can do is go back over here. Alright, and then we can go to our main menu and then click on products
Right and that will be added to our import list, right?
so it hasn't been published yet so we can view our website on top of here and
You can see the product over here. Alright, so we're gonna go back over here and I'll show you how to import another products
So let's just go back to the home page again
Let's just say we want to find like some socks or something like that right, so
men's socks
Okay, so I probably wouldn't sell something that's very very generic like just like this these types of socks maybe so I might choose something
Like this right something more interesting. It's got a WOW factor about it
And if you target it to the right person then they might buy it. So I think this one might be good as well
So I might just select that one
Alright, so as you can see, this one's got different variations that you can had as well
Make sure you check, you know, their reviews and things like that. So here we can just click on import
Okay, and that's just gonna import directly onto our website
Okay, so you can definitely look into different categories and try to look a little bit further in as well
Let's just say for example
Let's just do maybe some fern accessories. You've also got like phone cases and things like that as well
Like for example really cute phone cases
over here
Let's have a look
So I'm gonna sort by the orders as well. It's going down. So as you can see
75,000 orders
Scrolling down so going down
Let's click on the second page
There's the time of products that you can choose from select free shipping as well
And you can also select ship from certain areas, right?
Because I think some of the items might be shipped in the United States as well
so that way the shipping can be quite fast, so
I think this one's pretty cool. Right so that one over there now my target this too younger a younger audience
And things like that. So let's just click on import and that's gonna import to our import list and
Let's go ahead and add another one. So we've got four products
So with clothing, that's probably not the best item to sell like for example
If you're selling dresses because the return rates are gonna be quite high
You know
they need to actually try it on if you drop shipping you don't have full control over the shipping and things like that and
returning and it's just a hassle right and to probably stay away from like
You know things that people put in their mouth or on their skin because you don't want to be liable for something like that
This one’s a thermometer. That might be a good on so
Let's click on that. Okay, so
This one doesn't look too bad. This one looks good as well
We're gonna search by orders
Okay, so this one's really really nice you can target this to may be like mothers and things like that
so I might select that actually and
Then we can click on edits
All right, so here I might just take that one away. Maybe someone with a infrared
Let's just change this around infrared
baby
thermometer just like that's
And I want to make sure that the permalink is just nice and simple maybe someone infrared
And that should be okay, okay this one I'm gonna put it under electronics as well make sure you delete what's not necessary
All right. So scrolling down that looks all good to me. Okay
So what we're gonna do is here is just the additional information
I'm just going to delete or information actually, so just delete that and
Then what we're going to do is just
Import and publish it okay
so gonna go back we're gonna close these ones over here and
We're gonna go back to our website and just refresh over here
alright, so we've got four items and here we just need to click into it and
Over here you can also edit the variations and things like that as well as the details over here as well
I'm just gonna click on publish
Alright we're gonna go back to the products and
I'm going to click into this one over here
Alright, so let's say for example
I'm just gonna change the title first gradient colorful gradients you
know sometimes these things need to fixing right because
They just put like all the keywords in the title so that they can be found on Aliexpress
So sometimes it's just not the best English. So you do need to fix it. Make sure you fix everything properly yourself, right?
so we're gonna go down over here and we can hover over here and you can actually use this tool to
Remove the logo on the Left right just like that. So these are just like local supplier
sort of brand names for their products and things like that and
I was gonna scroll down
Okay, we've got different variations over here here. You can also edit the
Variations as well right the pricing and things like that
So click on edits and you can edit the price over here, right? And let's just say we click on publish
and that we published so I'm just gonna publish the rest of these ones so and
Then we'll I think that's all good to go. So, let's go back over here. I like dropship
Alright, and if we go over here and visit our website, you will notice that the pricing might not be
Changed yet, right. It might be the original Aliexpress pricing
Obviously you want to add your own
pricing to ensure that you do make a profit on your items so you can go back over here and then
We can go to the settings and click on pricing
Right and here we can add the pricing markup formula. So whenever you add a product from Aliexpress, you'll automatically apply the
sort of formula
right so we can add a
be recommended right and you can go in here and edit each of the individual ones as well and you probably want to
setup for the price of rounding as well because if we go and let's say we update we save the changes first and
Then we go and update the prices
all right, so when that's done, and if we refresh that then the prices will update right and sometimes it's like
You know 94 cents 30 cents is not even you probably want it to be like $8.99 or something like that
So what you can do is just round it up and that should be all good. Hopefully so probably need to update prices
ok, refresh that and
That just looks a lot nicer, right
So that is that now the next thing that you probably want to do is import the reviews, right?
So importing reviews is important because if your customers go to that page
Right, then. They don't really trust it. Right because doesn't have any reviews so you can easily do that by
Let's go over here and click on edit item
Right, so we're going to import the reviews for this specific one
Scroll down to the bottom. Ok, then click on reviews
all right, so I'm gonna import reviews for 4 stars and higher and
I'm gonna select all countries translate it to English as well
And then I'm gonna import reviews with images only so that's completely up to you
But that's just me right and you can also skip reviews with certain keywords
And I'm only going to upload up to 20 right because sometimes if you have too many reviews then it makes your website low
Too slow. So I'm gonna click on import, okay?
I'm just gonna click on update as well. And then we can click on the URL over here to view that product and
Hopefully the reviews have been updated. Alright, so 10 reviews over here scrolling down, right?
So sometimes you might need to edit the sort of the the titles as well. Right and sometimes the images might not be good
So if you need to edit, you know some of the language likes for example, it might not make sense
Then you click on edit item
right and then scroll down to the bottom to
The review section and you can just click on edit and edit the reviews and things like that as well. Okay
so what I'm gonna do is maybe I might just remove the
this thing over here as well just like that click on save and
I'm going to click on update
alright, so if we click back onto the product before right as you can see it says shipped from China so sometimes you might want
to change that so I will just show you how to do that as well so edit and we can scroll down to
The next section so so much stuff over there so you can click on the attributes over here
Alright, so this one's shipped from China so we can just delete this attribute over here and make sure to Save Changes
Right because you need to save the changes
Clicking update is not going to save the changes here. All right, so just update that as well anyway
Let's go and view the products and then that should be pretty much good to go. Ok
So that's just the basics of importing products and also importing the reviews for your products
There's probably a lot more things that do you need to do as well
Sometimes you do need to edits like the image change the images and things like that
Probably not going to go through this in this video
I want to show you how to edit the hero image, the buttons and everything like that as well. Ok, so
We're going to go back over to our dashboard area
okay, so to change your hero image, what you need to do is hover over customization over here and
We're going to edit the homepage. So click on home
Alright, so I'm going to edit the slider settings
So generally what I want to do is just open up your website in a new tab
right
So you can see what we're doing so over here we can scroll down over here and we can change the image over here
Right. So this is the recommended size now
If you don't have your own product images
Then you can go to a website called unsplash right and if you can't find an image over here
You can go to Adobe stock, right? So they've got really good images, but it is paid
Ok, so make sure to find a really nice image that relates to your business. So let's just say for example, I'm
Selling something related to home
Ok, so over here. You got a really nice image
Sounds like a minimal feel which is nice as well
Pick something that's related so. Maybe something like this like if you're selling pillows or a couch or anything like that
I think that looks pretty good. So
There's tons of images that you can choose right? Sometimes you can't find it and then you might need to go to Adobe, right?
So let's say you like this image over here. So click into it. So instead of downloading just from here
Let's select the drop-down and select the medium-sized one, right?
Because the other one is probably a little too big and that's gonna make your website slow. So let's go back over here
All right, and just upload that
select files and
Just upload that image over here open and
Then you're pretty much good to go. So let's select it. Okay, so you might need to crop it to
Here just like that. I think that looks okay
All right, and then click on crop?
all right, so that might take a second and what you want to make sure you do is always
Save it right so
Scroll down and you won't always want to make sure you save over here right to ensure that image is added in right?
So that's how you change the image. So if we refresh the page
Okay, let's delete that and your image has changed
Right. So here you can also change the text as well. So if we scroll over
Here right. You can change the title as well as changing the secondary title
So you might want to make that a white color as well because we can't really see that on top of that image
So let's like that and then let's click on
choose okay and
Here you can also link it to specific products, right?
So this is basically just linking to the sort of shop page
So let's say if you want to link it to a specific product
Then what you need to do is let's say we want to link it to this mosquito LED lamp. So click into the product
Copy I just copy that T clipboard and just paste in the link over here like that
alright
and we can also scroll up over here and you can also add a
Sort of video as well a video link on your home page
All right. So this is linking to a video now
if you do want to change that then all you need to do is go to you and
Just paste in the code over here
So V equals and then P just copy that come back over here and you just paste that in like that
Okay, so that's if you want to display that as well
Then you always want to make sure that you save so you scroll down again and save your settings
All right, and we can refresh the page on our home page
All right, then it should be changed like that. Okay, so you can play around with the different sliders as well
So like if you don't want too many then you can just remove it. You can update it as well
okay, if we scroll down over here to product settings, so here we can actually
You know remove this if you want to as well, so here if you have more products
Then it'll display under here and I'll show you how to display it properly at the end of the video
We can just remove it like that or you can change the title as well and make sure to save settings
For the blog. I'm just gonna remove the blog
All right
and click on save you can also add some words and
Something about your website below there as well just by typing it in here and saving. Okay, so let's go back over
here to
general right, so I want to show you guys how to make your
Favicon as well as your logo, right? So before we do that what we can do is actually create
Some of the default pages and menus as well
So since we're here if we look on the page
there's no pages over here and we can automatically generate all the FAQ pages shipping pages and everything that you need so
Let's click on create
Right, so this is amazing. So once that is done then if you refresh the page
Then it's going to generate the about page contact page blog page privacy and everything pretty much everything that you need
so if we click into the about
Right, and you've got the about page and you can click on edit page to edit it
Okay, so that's created all the menus on top of here
I'll show you how to configure that after we create a logo
So to create our logo and our favicon we can go to a website called canva
So in my opinion, this is really really amazing and must-have tool
You can also sign up for like a free I think pro version as well. So I'm already on the probe
but we're going to create the logo so
To create the logo. We need to go and click on the header
alright, so here they have the size that is recommended so gonna be using this size and I'm gonna double the size because I want
To make sure that logo we create is very very high definition
So we're gonna double that and I'm gonna go over here create design
custom dimensions, so
230 times 2 so 4 60 and then 54 times 208 oops 108 and then click on create design
Right. So here you can create your logo really really easily or you can go to fiverr.com
As well if you want people to create one for you
So we're gonna click on text and you can easily find a text that you like, right?
So each sort of font and text will have its own feelings
So make sure to pick the right one for your brand. Ok. So let's say for example
If we go on our website, ok, so I want to make it sort of more elegant and more
I think this one might do well so go over here this one over here
Like that and drop it in right and just make it bigger, I'm just gonna delete the bottom part of it
you can just delete it like that and I'm pretty sure we can just delete that one as well and
we can make the text a little bit bigger just by changing the text size over here to
56 I think a little bit too big
48 still be
Way too. Okay, try to drag it and move it across and
Move it somewhere just like that's maybe I might make it a little bit bigger
Let's see
46
Okay, something like that and then if you want to get a logo then we can go to
the elements over here
right and you can search for some elements so I might use I think this one over here, right and
Drop it in like that. So I think that looks not too bad. Let's make it a little bit bigger
So make sure it aligns with the text properly
Something like that
Okay, so I might make this. Yeah, maybe 42
Okay, because otherwise, it's just too big move that across move that across a little bit just like that
Okay
so if you want to change the color just click into it and
You can change and edit the color as well as the color of the logo. So I'm gonna keep it black as well
and if you've signed up for the I think the pro version you can download it as a PNG so to click on download and
You want to download as a transparent background generally so download?
Close that and what you want to do is you also want to make a white version as well
So right now that is for example this one over here. We need to make this one as well
So let's go back over here and I can click into that and let's just change the text color to white
Change the logo color to white as well
Okay, and then just download it as well
There you go and
Then that should be done
Alright, so let's go back over here and click on upload
upload files select files and I'm gonna upload this one over here put that in and
Select write so just gonna make sure that's cropped properly like that and click on crop
okay, and then the next one over here upload and
upload files select the white version of it
Alright and then we're gonna select and then it's like that like that and crop. Alright, make sure to save the settings
Okay, make sure that's done and we can refresh the page. So hopefully our logo has changed. Alright, that's looking really awesome
Maybe you could have made I could have made that a little bit better
Maybe yeah, but I think that's okay for now
Alright, so let's go back over here and we need a favicon
So you could click on general and here is the recommended size for the favicon
Which is the icon over here and as you can see on different websites, they have their own sort of icon there
so what I'm gonna do is go back over here and
I might create a new design. So let's click on file
Create new design and maybe custom as well. Let's do 64
By 64, so I made it double the size create design
Alright so I'm going to use so as you can see they've got different templates here as well
So they've got a ton of different stuff
Click back on elements and let's just use this one over here again, and let's just make it to size
Like that
Right, so I think that's good. So obviously I can change the color and things like that as well
I'm just gonna leave it as is for now. Alright, and then we're gonna click on download right? So download as PNG as well
Ok, let's go back over here and click on upload upload files select files and just upload that PNG file and
Select ok, save this settings
Alright, and then we if we refresh the page
Then that should be edited and looks really really nice
Okay, so if we hover over here next to it
It says my wordpress just another WordPress website. We can change that as well and I recommend it. So click on the customize
Click on the site identity and we're gonna change the site title
So I'm just gonna call it I think
Maybe they just call it James
and Katy as the brand name I guess and
Let's just say, you know
Firm
Oops for
Nature okay. So that's just an example
Hopefully you guys can write something better something about what you sell. Ok click on publish and
let's close that and then
that is
Looking very good. Alright, so I'll show you how to do something which is really really important, which I think we really benefit you
especially when you're building websites, so
If we go back over here, we're gonna scroll down any Unity template colors, right?
So, how do you design and how do you find the colors on your website?
So a good way for beginners to get started is to actually go to let's say the image that we've imported, right?
let's go to color Adobe.com right and then click on extract theme so you can also use the color wheel to find a
Really nice color palette, okay and use it for your website as well
So find the you know the type of mood that you want to evoke rights like the right colors for that
But if we click on extract theme right and if we go back to let's say unsplash right this image over here
I really like this image and the mood that it is
Evoking right? Do you know there's a cat - well scary. Anyways, let's go over there and then let's go over here and
We can just drop in our image, right and that's gonna get the colors from the image. Alright, so he can also select the brights
Muted beep rights like the color scheme for your website like that, right?
So I personally think maybe this one is quite good, right?
So we're gonna use this color palette for our website and our brand right so you can use this on your social media
Use it on like Facebook Instagram on your website and that makes sure your brand is consistent. Okay?
So let's go back over here. Then let's say if you want to change like the button colors and things like that
We can change it right so we can just come back over here and let's say I want to change
maybe the link color to something like this every here right go be here and
Let's say we just click on here
Pasting the color and click on choose the star rating. I might keep that there. I'm at link color might change it to
discount a badge color
I might keep that as red actually or I might go back over here and change it to something like this
Alright, so it's completely up to you how you do it, but then this just ensures your website is consistent
Okay, so if we just save the settings that's done. Let's go back to our home, right?
So you can also change the button color here as well
So for example, I might change it to let's say this one over here, right?
Come back
put in the color and
shoes, right
So how do you know which color to hover at so generally I just go to a website called 0 to 255
Put in the color code over here
Click on next and I normally choose a color which is two to three shades darker, right?
So people know that's a button sometimes I might go lighter as well. Okay, so I might coach picker this one go back over here
click that and
Paste that right? So this is just some really basic sort of web design things that you
can do okay save settings and
If you refresh the page
I mean that just looks really really nice in my opinion just really subtle and it just blends in with the
Overall background image as well, especially if you changed this one over here as well. Okay, so
That is that now I want to show you how to sort of customize the menu on top right here, right?
Okay, so let's go over to our dashboard
What I'm gonna do is just close some of these websites up here don't need them at the moment
So we can hover over here right appearance click on menus and
what I want to do is
Okay, so we're gonna open this in a new tab
Right. So we've got three menus which have been pre created for us the about menu will let us help you menu the let us
Help you menus over here. That's the about menu, right? So we're not going to edit those menus
We're just going to edit the top menu
So go here to main menu and select
Alright so what you want to do is sometimes you want to click on screen options and you want to make sure that all these
Are ticked right so you can actually see all the tabs here. Okay, because sometimes you might not see it
And it might not be activated. All right, so
For the sort of main menu, so these have all been created and they're all custom link, right?
But we don't actually have those pages. So I'm just gonna delete all of these ones
All right, and I'll show you how to create your own. Alright, so for the pages we can click on View
all right, and that's just going to show us all the pages and
That we can just add onto
Our menu, right?
So depending on which one you add you just click on let's say I want to add
Maybe, you know contact us or something like that click on add to menu
All right, and that's gonna add it to menu. So if you save too many and just refresh that page
Then contact us will show up, right?
So I'm not going to show that one over there
Generally what you might do is probably, you know, link it to a specific product or maybe a specific category, right?
So a lot of times, you know dropshipping websites, you know
You have one main product that is just like working really well in your advertisements. Then you might put that one there
All right. So for example this one over here just add it to menu and just add it like that
Okay, so you can also put in specific categories as well
so this is categories is only if you have
Blog categories blog post so product categories will be shown here. And let's say you want to put electronics just add that in like that
Okay, so let's say for example
If you want to just link to your shop page to display all your products
Then what you can do is go to products and click on view all and select all items and add to menu
All right
and then here just click on the drop-down and you can change the title to like shop or
You know products or whatever you want to call it something like that
Okay, and then click on the Save menu?
Right. So if we click on refresh the page, then you'll see the shop, right?
So sometimes it might not work and you might display this error
so what you can do is go back to your dashboard and you want to make sure that we go to the permalinks and
Here post name so just select it and reselect it and click on Save Changes
Again, right and let's go back to our visit site and hopefully that's gonna work
Okay, and hopefully that will show up like that
All right
So sometimes it might
You know create an error if you do
Update or upload new products from Aliexpress right to just do that and it will fix it. Okay
so what I want to do is maybe just remove the
electronics as well
Okay and remove that and save to menu
Okay, so that's pretty much done for now
what I want to show you now is how to set up the shipping options and also the
Checkouts, and also how to set up, you know payment and things like that as well
Okay, so that's probably the most important part because you probably want to get paid. All right, so let's go back to our dashboard area
So what you want to do is click on Ally dropship because we want to go to the ally dropship settings
All right, so hover over settings and here we can edit the shipping and also everything that we need, right?
So let's click on shipping first
So here you can select your shipping countries
So make sure you select the ones that you will ship to
Probably want to deselect it and just select the ones that you will ship do
So for example, let's say, you know United States or you know
whichever country that you will ship to right and
Just select all of that and then you can select the default country over here and just click on Save Changes
Right, so here I might just put in Australia as well
Like that because I'm gonna do a test order as well and then really just order something for myself
All right, and I'm gonna select maybe Save Changes
Right, so scrolling down here. You've got a few different options like free shipping
You've got Super Saver Shipping and standard shipping as well as expedited
Right. So generally what I would do is to offer free shipping right and include like the shipping price within the product itself, right?
So generally just click on enable. Right so this could be just like
Free you could do like free shipping. It's up to you what you really name it, so it's probably better to actually include
You know how long the delivery is gonna take right? So let's say for example, you know 14 to 21
This is days or something like that, right? That's just an example and
then you might offer maybe like a premium shipping like a
Express shipping, so you enable that one over there and let's just call it
expressed
Shipping and delivery time maybe four to seven business days
Something like that shipping cost. I might just do like 20
All right, so you can definitely just edit and play around with the different options that you need. So generally just put two there
Let's just click on save
Right. I'm actually applied to all products as well and
save again
Okay, so let's just open that and visit site
All right, and let's click on
The product so let's add let's say for example this one to our product click on Add to Cart
alright and proceed to checkout
Okay, so free shipping hasn't been enabled
We have to put in our address over here to move to the shipping method that we can change
so generally what I want to do is I just want to put it sort of as a
One-page checkout and probably than having like a multi-step checkout, right? So you can definitely select this method like that as well
But I personally like just the one-page. I just want to keep it very very simple
so to do that we can go back to the main menu and
go to
Customizations and then go to I think checkout features
All right and enable the one page checkout like that? Okay. Click on the Save Settings
And you can also enable like the trust box as well. So with the icons and you can edit the text same here
Alright, and let's just click on save for that
alright and make sure we save that one as well and
Then let's try and refresh the page
Okay, so as you can see like the icons are appearing right now, which is looking great
And then also you can select the shipping method straightaway
and then they can just
Complete the order, okay
So here you can't see the payment method yet because we haven't added that in
so that's the next thing that I do want to show you guys how to do so
Let's head back to our dashboard section over here. I'm just going to close that one
Let's click on all a dropship settings and we can click on the payments
All right, so can enable the credit card and debit card on our website, right? So we're gonna name the title
So it's gonna be called credit and then also debit card
Right. So here you can select the payment gateway
So I'm gonna select stripe in this case, right and then we need to actually connect it to our stripe account
all right, so we're gonna enable that and
To connect it. We're gonna need the the publish booking and also the secret key, right?
So make sure to create an account on stripe.com right so sometimes stripe not might not be available for your country then just select
One of the payment gateways which is available for your country. Just sign up for it and normal
It's free connect to bank, and then you can accept credit card. So I'm just gonna sign into a demo account that I created
Alright and just make sure you activate your account and things like that
Once you activate it, right you can click on developers over here. Click on API keys
Alright, so this is the live case
so I just want to create a test so we can click on view test data just toggle that right and
Just copy over the the token right and we're gonna close it if you paste it into here
Okay, so let's delete this space and then I'll just put in like the secret key. So this is just the test key
okay, so copy that in and
Then paste it into there just like that right? So then we'll be able to accept stripe. So click on Save Changes
Right. So PayPal is another really popular option in terms of payment. So we want to enable that one as well. Alright and
Then you can also enable demo mode if you want to as well. So in this case for the integration, we're just gonna click on
classic mode and put in your
paypal email
Right, so creating a paypal email
Account is fairly easy as well. Just head over to
PayPal comm right and you can sign up for a business account
Sometimes the business county does require some business name and information
You might want to sign up for a personal one first
And once you get a few cells, then you can sign up for a business account
Okay
So it's very very easy to do and you'll just need to connect it up and verify information and things like that
Then just go back over here
Alright and just Save Changes so you can also enable cash from delivery if your customers don't want to pay by
You know cards and you know, they're comfortable with cash and things like that. So you can click on the Save Changes
Alright, so that is pretty much good to go. I guess so not sure why that is not
That didn't save so. I want to make sure that is safe probably
Okay and Save Changes
then if we go and visit our website, hopefully we can see the payment options proceed to checkout and
Here okay
So I'll show you a test
Transaction and how to fulfill your orders and things like that later because we do have to set up something really really important
Which is the sort of order email notifications?
Whenever your customer places an order they all need to get an order confirmation, right?
So that's really really important and you have to do this for your site. So click on dashboard and
Let's go back to our dropship settings and go to you can also change the currency as well
So if you want to have you know
Another currency other than the US dollar you can change that as well, right? So
Like Australian dollar or you know something else as well maybe
This one here. Okay, and then you can add that in. All right, and then Save Changes so then people can actually
Select the currency they they want right so and go back over here
And then on the drop-down they can select the currency
Right and the price will change like that. So I think that's really really great
Let's head back over here and we're gonna click on notifications
All right. So for the mailing service settings you want to select the service, right? So we're gonna select smtp
So I basically just need to connect it with our web host
All right. So we need to go to our Siteground account now. I'll also show you if you're using cPanel
So just give me one second and then I'll show you like the cPanel version as well. So click on the
Websites right that you're managing and we can click on site tools. So this is really really simple
It just takes like two minutes to set up so we can go to email over here and we can click on accounts
Alright, so you can easily create an email account right? So I've also got a tutorial showing you how to
Set up your Siteground email, you know hostgator Bluehost as well. I'll leave the link in the description
So let's just say we're gonna call this support. Alright, that's our domain.com. And then let's just set in like a
password and click on create
Alright, so this is an email and I think it's really important for if you're creating ecommerce business to have an email
So make sure to follow the video to connect it with your Gmail if you do want to sort of receive email in your Gmail
Inbox instead of coming to the inbox over here, right?
Because sometimes you know, you're probably using Gmail already and then you can also send email via your gmail account
Right. So this is very simple so over here we can click on the three dots over there and just click on mail configuration
Alright, so click on the email manual settings
So what we're gonna do is we're just going to connect the outgoing server. Alright, so we just need the
Domain URL right. So the domain that you're using just paste that into here, right?
smtp host
So whatever domain just paste it into there like that without the HTTP and things like that for the port this should be
four six five right for sixty five
so paste that in here and
Encryption should be SSL right if you have SSL installed on your website or domain already
That should be SSL if it doesn't work, then you might need to use TSL and the port number is gonna be different
Which I'll show you in a second
so the username is just gonna be like the
The email so copy over the email that you created
Alright, and then just put in the password
Okay, and then click on Save Changes
Alright so once that is changed then that's all good
so for the cPanel version
so just log in to your cPanel area of whichever web host it using click on email accounts and
It should look something like this. Alright, so here let's just do like, you know support
Maybe let's just I was gonna call this help actually, okay help right select the domain and then just put in your password again
Like that and then you can select your male quota. So generally 1,000 should be more than enough
creating accounts

okay, so find the email and
I think which one is it? Okay over here and then click on more. Okay, configure email client
Alright so over here you'll have the information as well, right?
So it should be the same exactly the same if you have the SSL installed if you don't have the SSL
Right, which is not recommended
then you just need to paste in this for your

Admin email so you might want to send a copy to yourself
And then this is just like the email templates of everything so you don't really need to do too many things over here
You can click on test
Right and that's gonna basically send a test email to your email to check if like everything is connected properly
alright and
I think that is pretty much it
For these settings. So what I'm gonna do is just go to the

Right, and hopefully that sort of has sent the test. All right, so thank you for your order

Customizations, and I think click on footer
So over here right, so this is overnight a new tab
Scroll down. Alright so for your contact information
You probably want to put in like the contact email to the one that you just created, right?
So generally if you're like operating from home just get like a Pierrot box
It cost like $100 every year which I think it's worth it. So just putting something like that

So that is pretty much it
For the things so you can go through each of these things and just customize it for yourself. Right and you can also create

Invoices or marketing materials so after that just click on place order

Ok, so your customers address and then that should be it. Alright, so if we go back over here and
We just close that right. We refresh that
Ok, so by default. It's gonna say not processed yet. Right. So if you want to
Automatically make sure that it is processed when you actually place the order with the supplier, then you can change it over here manually

It just arrived as well as the trending
So when it comes to the best deals, this is basically the biggest discount it will appear in the front, right?
So here just arrived. You just need to change the date, right?
So the most recently added orders and the trending is basically the orders with the most orders
All right. So let's just say for example, we want to move this to the front right this product over here
Just click on edit item
And we just need to change the before price right so we can reflect the biggest discount so scroll down
To and we just need to find sort of the the pricing over here
So let's have a look the variations maybe okay, so we need to edit the pricing over here

It was 99. And now the sale price is let's say like
$19 or something like that and
Then we can click on apply
alright, so once that is done we can click on update and
We can view our website and hopefully that has moved to the front like that
Right. So sometimes you might need to play around with it because this product might have a big discount as well
You just need to edit the discount over here. So here just arrived. You can click into those products click on edit item and
Here, we just need to change the publish date, right?
so if you want to move that backwards or something like that, then just make it like maybe
June or something like that so you can change the date and it should move right or we can make it
You know the latest right? So let's just go back over here and
Then if we scroll down to this area over here, right? So the trending products

Appear over here, but this one does have a lot of orders on the product rights
