    It's difficult to say about an average check. It depends on a store and products you are selling.

    As for countries, here is my list of Top5:

    1 United States
    2 United Kingdom
    3 Canada
    4 Germany
    5 Australia

    Hello Yaros,

    Thank you for sharing your amazing journey, I have since build a dropshipping website and already seen profits!

    I do have a question if you're willing to answer.

    What marketing has worked best for you? So far I have seen profits from Facebook adds, but very high cost to click. Could you explain a little further if you have some time?

    Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you!
    Jay

    Yaros:

    I have read all 47 pages and I wanted to proceed. I plan to get the $899 package from you.

    Here is the problem...I've sent a few messages but I HAVE NOT received any response so far, so I registered for an account here to see if I can reach you personally.

    I also have some questions before I proceed:
    1. Niche - I have some ideas, but I would like your opinions on how to determine the most profitable niche, as I want to start making money right away.
    2. What kind of automation can I expect from purchasing the most expensive plan?
    3. Domain name - I would like domain privacy, so people cannot know my information when they do a WHOIS on my domain. Can you guys do this?
    4. Hosting - I’m currently on Siteground. It’s a bit slow. Any suggestions? (I plan to use an independent hosting service)
    5. Have you heard of Ninja Apparel? I think they’re doing drop shipping (I found out their source on Aliexpress). Do you think this is a profitable market?
    6. How much money do I need to put in to start this off? $2,000? When can I expect to break even?
    7. How much time do you think a person needs to run this business per week?
      1. Invoice handling - Number of hours?
      2. Social promotion - Number of hours?
      3. Customer Service - Number of hours?
    8. Does it include the:
      1. Dropship plugin (I think so)?
      2. Social Rabbit plug in? (I would like it)
      3. AliExpress Affiliate plug in? (I would like it)
    9. What kind of profit can I expect in the first 6 months?
    10. Is it possible to sell my own products, which are NOT on AliExpress?
    Please contact me as I would like to start ASAP.

    Thanks,

    David

    I tried FB ads but no luck.

    My main strategies now are:
    - FB reposting https://alidropship.com/how-to-promote-a-dropshipping-store-on-facebook/
    - Social Rabbit plugin https://alidropship.com/how-to-promote-a-dropshipping-store-on-social-media/
    - Instagram shoutouts https://alidropship.com/how-to-promote-a-dropshipping-store-on-instagram/
    - Adwords campaigns https://alidropship.com/create-adwords-campaign-400-roi-dropshipping-store-detailed-guide/

    Hello Yaro
    Nice job you have done here.
    Just two (2) things
    1) I want to know if I can use any other payment gateway if I can't use PayPal.

    2) Can you please give me a list of the best for your plugin.
    Regards

    Hello Yaros,

    First of all, thank you for sharing your great and inspirational story.

    I'm interested in setting up a drop shipping store using your Aliplugin, however, before pulling the trigger, I would like to know if it is only compatible with your themes, or if I can be confident that it'll work well with others.

    Thanks

    Yaros...Please to be acquainted.I am at the cusp of beginning my tor.Essentially it sells Drones...but I have now determined from careful across market research that the Drones on Ali express are often more expensive than just about anywhere else leaving no room for margin at all.
    For example I researched a propellor offer from Echang that was listed at $199US reduced as a special to $99US then found it on Amazon for two prices...one $115 and also Amazon $69.99US as well as DHgate $73.37 and multiple sites at $79.96
    This seems the norm with the Aliexpress Drone products...so there is just no room for any margin....am I missing something...??

    You get 2 plugins with purchase - original AliDropship plugin that only works with built-in themes and Woo version that you can use with Woo themes.

    Actually I would recommend focusing not on drones but on accessories for drones.

    Why should I prefer Alidropship Plugin rather than importify considering that the latter will allow access to so many more suppliers?Can you profile the comparative benefits etc?

    I have no idea about this product, because it is for Shopify. I am working only with WordPress.

    Hi,

    I am interested in your dropship plugin, Is it possible to do some translation by my own, to create more local store? How about pricing ? Can I change it from USD into other currency?

    Hi Yaros,

    I've read through your entire thread, amazing!

    I have just 2 questions.

    1. Does the plugin now support ironcube?
    2. Have you tried the free + shipping model? That is instead of free shipping, the product price is free plus shipping. Would the Alidropship plugin support this method of selling?

    Thanks
    Andy

    1. ionCube is available.
    2. Yes, it supports this method, but I don't use.
