-eecca.jpg "How to Become a Dropshipping Niche Product Expert")
It’s not necessarily a requirement for you to become an expert in niche products in the field of Dropshipping, but if you do manage to do it, your business is set for life. If you are willing to try a fresh new look and try out your creative side, you can enjoy the wonderful fruits of the dropshipping niche. We have some ideas on how to do just that!
One of the most important things you have to overcome if you want the product expert title in the niche market is letting go of your fear when it comes to your customers. You will have to take the risk of sounding cringy in front of your first few customers and even potentially annoying them a little. No one can actually tell you what would make the market better than the people in the market you are serving.
Especially when trying out niche dropshipping, you will be presented with plenty of questions you don’t have an answer to. Rather than giving up, the solution is to say that you don’t know right now and will get back to them with answers in a short while. They will prefer it if you are honest instead of giving them the wrong answer just because you are trying to maintain your pride. When you converse with your customers, you will get first-hand information on what they expect and what the problem seems to be from their perspective.
Try to find out their opinion on the product they just received. This could be something like simply slipping in a question when they’ve posted a query you have to answer or actively emailing them or calling them to ask what they think. Whatever method you choose, you will be quickly able to figure out which products are appreciated and which products aren’t doing so hot right now.
You will also want your customers to leave good pictures of your product on review. One way to do so is to offer customer reward points in return for high-resolution photos. You will awaken their competitive spirit as well as get to see what kind of products you are dropshipping.
No matter the amount of research you do online, it does not come close to trying out a product yourself. If you try the products you are selling, you will be able to see what’s working with them and what’s the problem is, with your own eyes. If your product catalog involves items that have to be installed, then it is a must to order one for yourself and install them. This way, when a customer contacts you with an inquiry about their purchased product, you will be able to answer truthfully.
Now, this does not mean you should order every product you have ever hosted on your dropshipping niche website. However, just checking out the best selling items would do. Chances are, most of the questions you will receive from your customers will be centered around the best selling items. If you get the product, you will also be able to upload better quality pictures yourself.
What kind of supplier are you currently working with? Are they experienced ones? The only roadblock in your path to becoming a niche expert might just be the absence of a knowledgeable supplier.
These people supply items on a daily basis. They know what is popular with customers. They know what niche is currently rising in the market, and they know what kind of product line is dwindling in popularity. Once you become an established niche dropshipper, you might not need the wisdom of your supplier. Right now, though, they are one of your most valuable assets.
Don’t hesitate to ask them questions. Consider their advice before you settle on a new niche.

The thing is, most people have a habit of underestimating the hard work and time it takes to achieve anything. Becoming a dropshipping niche expert is no different. It is going to take lots of focus, effort, and research on your part. A little research here and there isn’t gonna help you reach your goal. You have to do it consistently, and you have to dive deep. In fact, even after you become an expert, you will have to continue with your research to not fall behind your competitors.
Your research should have the same level of enthusiasm you would show while purchasing the new Nintendo Switch. You give your everything; you eat up every review, every opinion, every spec to understand what you want.
Customer forums, manufacturer websites, and reviews on products are the best way to start on this research journey.
Sometimes, your direct competitors know more than you. There is nothing wrong with seeing what they are doing, how they are handling the market, and what product they are focusing on to understand the niche market trends.
They might be able to give you better ideas than your customers or suppliers. They are competing against you, and while they are checking out your strengths and weaknesses, you need to analyze theirs too.
Final Thoughts
Becoming a niche product expert is a full-time job, along with the job you have of being dropshipper. You need to be constantly informed on the trends. No niche product in the market should pass by without your inspection and interest.
You will have to continue your research even after your online store has taken off. You don’t want to fall behind your competitors. And not falling behind them means winning against them. The better your online store is, the more in the trend you are, the more loyal customers you will have.
As much as it is called a niche, a niche is only profitable when it is liked by a good number of people. If a niche is too obscure, it’s no use pursuing that. So, be smart about your product ideas!

-1afa3.jpg "Blind Dropshipping Explained: Everything you need to know")
Blind dropshipping is a clever way to hide any marketing material that you do not wish your customers to see. Many sellers practice a selling method known as a blind drop ship. In this article, we will see what blind dropshipping is, how it works, its cons, pros and why many sellers blind drop ship?
*|SIGNUP_AD|*
Blind drop shipping refers to a shipper who ships the product directly, from the supplier to the customer while not showing the identity of the supplier anywhere, including the invoice attached to the product. The bill only shows the name and address of the shipper and does not contain any information about the supplier.
For blind drop ship, the shipper must prepay the blind shipping service as well as the shipment fee before the product pickup.
Blind drop shipping is an important shipping method used by millions of shippers. However, many still come up with the question, ‘why?’
We would elaborate on its importance using a real-life example. Imagine yourself as a store owner. A customer visits your online store and purchases an item worth $10. Upon opening their parcel, the price they see on the invoice is $3. How will they react to it?
First of all, they would be surprised. After a while, they will get angry over you charging thrice of what the original cost is. They might even leave you a bad review stating that your prices are high. Consequently, you get a bad reputation as a shipper and your store gets a bad reputation due to the bad review.
What’s the result? An unhappy, angry, and long-lost customer. Do not forget a long PayPal dispute and an even longer customer complaint.
You might see where this is going. Do you realize your mistake now? You did not include the invoice of your customer but included the invoice subject to you and your supplier. Your customer did not see the price he paid but saw what you paid to get the product.
By default, most of the novice and amateur shippers include the original invoice in the packaging that in return, drives a lot of customers mad and angry. They feel sad at the fact that they could have paid the supplier and got the product at a very low price as compared to what they paid you.
In essence, the customer is lost and he assumed you to be a crook. As per customers’ behavior, we were able to deduce that they are quick to label a shipper a crook, especially if they see the original invoice and do not know much about him.
Generally, people do not care about what they have paid for the product unless they see the price differences. The only way they can know is when you attach the original invoice on the packaging by default.
You cannot control what’s inside of the package. However, you can control what’s on the outside of the package- the packing slip.
A typical packing slip includes the detail about the products you have sold to your customers. It is in the form of a document and pasted on the package to tell the shipper that the package has been released from the inventory and will be arriving at any moment.
However, a blind drop ship packing slip is specifically designed for blind dropshipping. It does not include any information about the supplier or the company that manufactured the product.
To blind drop ship, the first step is to switch to a blind drop ship packing slip. You can ask your wholesaler or the supplier to provide you the service. Usually, it’s not that hard and sometimes, free of cost if you have already paid the shipping fee in advance.
The process to start a blind drop ship depends on the drop shipping platforms. However, the first step is to ask your supplier if he can assist in blind dropshipping.
Usually, Shopify shippers have the option to leave a message to the suppliers after they have placed an order with them. You can request to turn the product into a blind drop ship product or advise them to not include the invoice or any details that might lead to the revelation of the original price of the product.
Another way to run a blind dropshipping store is to get help from a third-party shipping service provider. However, you should only opt for this if you have not come to an agreement with your supplier about blind dropshipping products. Paying a third-party shipping company can be costly, sometimes.
All you have to do is provide the shipping company with the company’s operating name or the legal store name. They might also need your Logo in PNG. Or JPG. Format. The information on the original packing slip will go blind and only your information will be provided to your customers.
Hiring a third-party shipping company also helps in branding your business.
If you are a novice shipper, looking to turn your Shopify store into a lucrative business and to market it, the answer is definitely, YES. The blind drop ship method prevents the supplier to sell the product directly to your customers. Therefore, your business depends on customers buying from you and not from the vendor.
However, as a novice shipper, you should maintain a healthy working relationship with your suppliers. Respect the supplier’s opinion and ask if they can assist in blind dropshipping. Only then can you leverage a blind dropship store.
Blind drop shipping is an excellent opportunity for shippers who are currently dealing with branding and inventory issues. With the right approach in blind dropshipping, not only can you market your business but expand it while working together with your suppliers.
The beauty of dropshipping is teaming up even if the people are continents away. So, step up your e-commerce game and switch to blind dropshipping for a lucrative change.
Drop servicing, also known as service arbitrage is a business model that allows you to sell services to your clients. However, you do not provide the services yourself. You hire a third-party service provider to provide the services.
*|SIGNUP_AD|*
If you compare this business model to the real world, it is like a contractor hiring a sub-contractor for the architect of a building. Even if you are hiring another service provider, you are still legally responsible if anything bad happens.
In the online world, you’d find millions of clients need guest posts, blog posts, video editing, etc. The clients reach out to you for the services and you provide them the services through outsourcing. You can find hundreds of freelancers on the freelance market website to do the work for you.
The difference between what you pay the freelancer and what you charge your client is the profit you make through drop servicing business. That’s why it is best to be aware of the service provider’s charges.
When starting your drop servicing business, the first thing you should have is the list of service providers and info about the services that have high demand.
For instance, if SEO services are in demand, you can hire someone who has command over this service. But you’d be the one to scrutinize the task at the end. Simply put, you would have to be the editor yourself. This means that you must choose the service you have knowledge of.
The next step is to find a platform to promote and sell your services. An ideal platform is a website as it shows professionalism and the strength of your newly started business. However, you can also use platforms like Shopify to host your store.
Although Shopify is used majorly for dropshipping, you can also replace the physical products with services.
The last but the most important step is to promote your services by establishing a marketing strategy. Make sure that your strategy is solid as you’d be building lifetime ties with the clients.
A drop servicing business is a lucrative business model if done right. Therefore, you need to spend a lot of time researching the services you’d be providing. Delivering high-quality services is the key to success.

But, to dropship cell phone cases is an easy set up that requires little to no capital. With time, it will pay off all of your upper expenses.
Let’s see why dropshipping cellphone accessories is going to be a promising and lucrative business for novice shippers:
Firstly, as we told earlier, cellphone cases have a demanding market all over the world. everybody who has a phone wants it. Do not believe us? Look at the Google Trends:
The popularity of cell phone accessories is pretty high, according to Google Trends. But you might be questioning the need to dropship cellphone accessories. Well, the truth is, everybody wants to protect their $1000+ phones. Secondly, the brick and mortar stores do not have an extensive range of cellphone covers. To them, it is not a lucrative item but for you, it can be!
If we visit brick and mortar stores, people face a lot of challenges such as:
Typically, cellphone cases do not cost a lot online. They are included in impulse purchases by the buyers. However, more than 1500 million cell phone cases are sold every year (Statista). Now, that’s a huge number of potential customers.
Now, let’s begin with how to dropship phone cases and make it a lucrative business:
After discussing the huge market for mobile cases, let’s see how to dropship phone cases effectively. Firstly, you need to choose the phone brands for which you are going to sell the cases. Popular choices are Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Sony, Huawei, Oppo, etc. These brands have the largest number of sold items in the world.
You will find a lot of potential customers as most of the population on earth owns a smartphone from one of the above-mentioned brands. If you are running an accessory store, it is still a good option to dropship cellphone accessories and make huge profits out of it.
Here are the top choices if you are looking to dropship phone cases:
People who own Apple phones spend a lot protecting their phones. That is why selling cases for the iPhone is like stepping into a big yet lucrative market. Secondly, it is easier for you to set up an online iPhone cases store rather than investing in a brick and mortar case store.
All you have to do is pick up a few in-demand models from Apple and bring in an extensive range of products to choose from.
Although Apple offers protective cases for their phones they are expensive and not everyone out there can afford them. So, they come looking for affordable yet trendy iPhone cases online.
Most of the shippers put up iPhone cases replica as online shoppers are interested in cheap yet original-looking cases.
Samsung is the largest mobile manufacturing brand in the world. There are millions of Samsung users in the world. So, it is wise to dropship phone cases for Samsung.
Huawei cellphones have been getting a lot of attention lately. They are strong, equipped with the latest technology and come with a lot of features. Other than that, most of the Huawei phone cases do not cost a lot as compared to Samsung and Apple phone cases. This is the reason why the most popular cases online are of Huawei!
Here are some of the best types of phone cases to dropship:
Flip cases protect the phone from the back as well as the front. They have an advantage over fitted cases. That is why they have more demand online as compared to other types of cases.
In addition to that, you can easily buy flip cases in bulk as they are one-size-fits-all and fit every other phone model perfectly.
Wallet cases are similar to flip cases but with additional space for keeping credit cards, money, etc. Since women do not like to carry bags everywhere, you have a large buyer audience to attract.
It costs between $1 to $5 to buy a cell phone case. However, you can sell it for $20 to $35, depending on your store’s positioning, reputation, case’s quality, and its specifications. Cellphone cases give you large margin profits which will help you scale your new dropshipping business.
Here are some tips to get you started:
Even though AliExpress offers free shipping for its sellers but, it can be slow at times. The shipment takes a lifetime to arrive, which negatively impacts your store’s reputation. Other than that, the shipping options are very limited when you use AliExpress delivery service.
Try to find suppliers who offer e-packet shipping. It is an affordable delivery service that allows a shipper to track the shipping coming from China.
At times, it can be overwhelming to add products to your stores as there are millions of them. However, if you want to add only the best phone cases, try searching ‘most ordered’ in the desired niche, which is phone accessories.
That will give you a general idea of what’s being sold more and loved by the customers.
Although phone cases are cheap, do not underprice your product. You want a considerable profit margin for other things such as shipment fees, marketing, ads, etc.
It is not necessary to dropship high-end products to build a lucrative business. You can dropship phone accessories and still make profits. Dropshipping phone cases is not only affordable but convenient as well. As long as you do not stuff your store with all the phone cases in the world, you are good to go.

Blind drop ship is a method used by novice shippers to hide the third-party supplier’s name from the customers. In other words, the shipper reveals only his name and address on the packing slip. It is a constantly used method that is developing the e-commerce industry.
*|SIGNUP_AD|*
By default, all the suppliers from AliExpress include the invoice with the product’s package. The invoice is sure to get your customers angry once they will know of the price difference. All you need to do is switch to blind drop shipping by requesting the third-party supplier to not include any kind of marketing material or the original invoice in the package.
On many dropshipping platforms, you have the option to leave instructions for the supplier. You can coordinate with your supplier and ask him to assist you in blind drop shipping. The instruction you’d give to the supplier will automatically be applied and your customer won’t know the company name of the supplier, let alone the original price of the product.
If you are a novice shipper looking to make a profit off your e-commerce business, it is best to blind drop ship.
In this video we will go through the new Boards Feature in Sell The Trend. We will organize Aliexpress imports in different boards so that the process of pushing products to the store is easier. Keep your import list organized by creating as many boards as you like for the different type of products.
