Start Shopify Dropshipping FREE FULL COURSE (PART 5)
Howto & Style
Introduction
In this segment of our Shopify Dropshipping course, we explore various product research methods to help you identify winning products for your online store. Following the TikTok Burner Method, we dive into the AliExpress Hot Products, discuss the potential of YouTube searches, and introduce you to TikTok's Creative Center for spotting trending ads. Each method varies in approach, allowing you to find unique products that can resonate with potential buyers.
Exploring AliExpress Hot Products
To begin with, we will navigate to AliExpress. Open your browser and search for "AliExpress Hot Products." Click on the highlighted link featuring "Hot Products" in all caps. Once inside, browse through a fresh feed of products without the influence of previous browsing history. This method encourages creativity and a fresh perspective on product research.
As we scroll through the product listings, we aim to find items that provoke a “wow factor” just from their pictures. While some everyday tech items like earbuds may not stand out due to heavy competition and established retail options, other items, like novelty toys or gadgets, may have potential.
When assessing a product, it’s beneficial to see how it performs on TikTok. By searching the product’s keywords directly on the platform, you can identify which videos are gaining traction and what creative possibilities exist for marketing.
For example, we highlight an interesting water bottle that tracks water intake with motivational phrases. Although its visual appeal and wow factor might be limited, the product addresses a common issue: the need to stay hydrated. That could stimulate interest and further exploration.
One product that captured attention is a drifting car toy. This category has significant potential to engage audiences with creative marketing strategies, like tutorials or drift challenges. The nostalgic appeal of toy cars opens avenues for entertaining content, showcasing unique skills and capturing the viewer's interest.
Utilizing YouTube for Product Research
Transitioning from AliExpress, we introduce a new method: searching for product ideas on YouTube. This strategy enables you to explore longer-form videos where creators showcase various products. Helpful keywords when searching include “Tech gifts,” “Amazon products you need,” and “Coolest Amazon finds.” Adjust your search creatively to discover products tailored for specific audiences, such as gifts for dads or travelers.
With a blank slate on a new YouTube account, try various keywords and scan for products that could translate into TikTok content. Many times, you'll discover products that have previously gone viral or those with strong potential that haven’t been marketable yet.
As you scan through Amazon finds or cool gadgets videos, note any products with solid viewership and engagement. A popular item, like an earbud for discreet use during exams, illustrates a product with immense potential for targeting students via humor and creativity.
Exploring TikTok Ads in the Creative Center
Lastly, we discuss the TikTok Creative Center as a resource for spotting trending products through paid ads. You can filter by location and ad objectives, honing in on products connected to e-commerce. By observing the nature of current advertisements, we derive insights into trending product types.
When searching within the Creative Center, focus on dropping terms like "50% off" or “Buy one, get one free” to yield drop shipping product ads, which often have unique selling points. Through this process, various potential products, such as an Airbnb security camera detector or fashionable dupes of high-end jewelry, stand out due to their audience appeal and perceived need.
Conclusion
By integrating these diversified research methods, you empower your ability to find and identify winning products. Each approach offers a different angle for product discovery while fostering creativity for marketing strategies.
