My AliExpress Dropshipping journey
Im a 32 years old designer, and I had my own garment printing company. I sold that last year, and have been doing webbdesign work to pay my rent. I do about 4-6 webbpages a month and are happy with that. I also have aloat spare time to focus on other things. I have been reading on this forum a long time, but my english writing is really bad, so I have not contributed much. I have learnd english by watching TV, so I speek good, but writing is not so good. I live in Sweden.
I read this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/ecommerc...rts-today.html
and I got blown away! I think I have read the thread 4-5 times now, and also on other forum. I have been selling trough aliexpress when I went to collage, so I have some experience from that kind of selling.
So now that I have spare time, I have decited to try it out. I love the ide and concept, no much money to invest, no stock, no headache...
I have started a webbshop via tictail, because I can´t wait for the release of yaros plugin. But as soon as he release it I will buy and scale upp my business. For now I have only 20 products. I have sold for about $1000 in Januari so far. It would be a higher amount but I had some problems with one seller, so he havent ship the goods to my customers, and I have to wait 10 days to get the money back from aliexpress.
I only sell to my country, so pepole pay to my bank account for the goods. So today I have created a excell sheet:
Kund (customer first and last name)
Pris (price i sell for)
Mitt pris (price i buy for)
Vinst (profit pris minus mitt pris)
Produkt (product)
Betalt (how the customer pay)
$1 is about 8 kr in Sweden.
And for every customer, I save a text document with the information about the customer, adress, phone nr, product, e-mail and all other information.
It takes some time to do this, so by tomorrow I will have the whole list, and then I can tell exactly how much I have sold and what my porfit is. I also have 8% cashback on my orders via aliexpress.
My goal, when yaros release the plugin will be to release 2-3 shop every month, and to sell them in the future. I see a really big market here, I love the concept, so I cant wait to get it on. I have also spend many houres research aliexpress sellers and finding niche, and have also order product from them to se the quality and shipping time. Right now, I have about 3 niche that im sure will make atleast $1000 every month in profit. I have start with one of them, and only add 20 product, and are seeing a good result. I will do my best to gather all information by tomorrow and write here with the result so far in Januari.
Please, if I have writen bad, and you can´t understand, let me know and I will google all the words and change them.
My goal with this journey is to get in contact with pepole that do the same business, get better at english and get help and input from you that read this.
