Looking at some of these comments you realize some people will complain about anything. Helpful information. Thanks!

This is so informative that it needs to be watched and re-watched multiple times. I've already got new info I missed the first two go-rounds

[@MANSCARInternational]

Perfect and precise summary. Wonderfully presented and impressive personality.

[@Nathan-sc7hs]

Brilliant video. Unusually concise, well-worded and packed with relevant tips. I'm only 5 minutes in but this is so much better than many other videos of this type where there is often way too much waffle, self-promotion and empty, jargonistic sales pitch. Hats off to you, fella!

[@THEECOMKING]

There are certain skills that are essential for you to truly comprehend before you tell people you’re an internet marketer. You need to know the following, inside-out, backwards and forwards. It must become second nature otherwise you will not be ready to win big. 1.SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Search engine results are the foundations for at least 70% of all online behaviour. Being able to know what moves a site up and down in the rankings is obviously a good trade to have, so learn the tricks of having a good SEO and your website will be working just how you need it to be. 2. Pay per click marketing. Nothing forces money out of a marketing budget faster than an out of control PPC marketing. When caring about your clients, you need to know a lot about PPC. You need to identify and comprehend concepts like negative keywords, quality scoring, dynamic keywords and content networks. 3.Analysis. Analysis/analytics is the practice of turning data into action steps and conclusions like “Wow, our ROI on this keyword is great. We need to build a landing page.” 4.Complete sentences. Write every day. Everyday. You need to be able to write a post like this in 30-40 minutes, and it needs to be readable. Viewers don’t like things to be hard work, so write an easy reading piece and your followers will stick around. 5.Blogging and social media. Write at least one blog. See ‘Complete Sentences’, above. And know what people mean when they say ‘social media’. They really mean media. Recognise what makes it all tick, and how you can help someone co-operate with their audience in a meaningful way. 6.E-mail marketing. Learn to build a house e-mail list. Know what makes an e-mail work or fail. 7.Statistics 101. You need to be on top of figures like a hawk. Like point number 2, Nothing forces money out of a marketing budget faster than an out of control PPC marketing. As with every click of your link in some paying ads, it will cost you money. You’ll need to understand whether this cost is stretching out sufficiently against customers physically buying into your business. Spreadsheets are ideal for keeping on top of the vast amount of figures you’ll have to work with so save yourself the stress and get organised with spreadsheets. 8.Content marketing. This involves the creation and sharing of online material such as videos, blogs, and social media posts, that does not explicitly promote a brand but is intended to stimulate interest in its products or services. The stronger this skill is, the more interest you’ll get. 9. video marketing. This is simply another form of advertising in which business create 2-5 minute short videos about specific topics using content from articles and other text sources. The videos are then uploaded to various video sharing websites like KZbin for distribution and exposure. This is a successful and helpful skill used by some of the top leading businesses. 10.Voice search. This enables users to search by speaking on a mobile phone or computer. This may mean that sites with the sort of content that answers common questions accurately and concisely are more likely to be the ones providing the answers to those questions. So making resources directly for customer use and searches will need to be provided bearing in mind of the latest form of search trend. Success in e-commerce is never an overnight job, even for the best of people. Continuing to improve your e-commerce will continue to improve your overall results in business.

Thank you. I'm a neophyte with e-commerce though I've had a website since 1997. Great advice regardingthe amount of time one can realistically expect to put in for a successful business. None of this hype that you can set it up and walk away and make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[@fisafisok1555]

If you are looking to create a successful business online *MyOnlineSelling. Com* should be your #1 spot! They have the best selection of traditional and dropshipping wholesalers you can find. But they are way more than just a wholesalers directory. On top of that they have a huge amount of trainings and materials that will help you on almost every stage of building online business. It's also worth to mention they have amazing support and products recommendation feature (lab) that is a real game changer. this site is a full package, everything you need in one place. I highly recommend!

I’m 16 and just trying to get into drop shipping will my age affect anything and is there any where I should go to first to set up thanks also for this video it was very helpful

[@Oberlo]

Hey there! It depends on what the legal age to run a business is in your area. You'll need a credit card too. If you're not of the age of majority in your country, simply have a guardian open the store on your behalf and operate it yourself until you can take the reigns! Best of luck!

[@Oberlo]

That's right. Driving traffic can be a bit slow at the start, but once it takes off - 🔥! Also, bear in mind that it takes up to three months for Google to start crawling new websites. Here are 35 ways to increase traffic to your store (bit.ly/3lICrwM). 👀 Is your store general, or it has a specific niche? -Iris

[@potato-hy8el]

@@Oberlo what's the difference between niche and general store 😯

[@Oberlo]

The general store would sell various categories. You can include products from kitchenware, fashion, accessories, gadgets, etc. Niche stores would focus on a specific category or even just one product. For example, yoga apparel and equipment is considered a niche store. It is really up to you which way you want to go as every entrepreneur's aspirations are different. Also, this blog has a lot of information on branding your first business (bit.ly/2Unu12A). I hope you find it helpful! 😊 -Iris

Hey Ariel! We normally suggest shipping with ePacket (bit.ly/2p7H70V) delivery. It takes an average of 10-20 days and includes free tracking. If you source from US suppliers and sell to the US, you can USPS which is a little faster. -Tommy

Very informative video. Thanks I am a bit confused. Many suppliers has e-packet for US, but not for Canada and other countries, so let's say someone buys a product from Canada that doesn't have e-packet option (how do I deal with that?) If I have to make sure the product I need in my store has e-packet for all the countries, then I will have a very short list of products.

[@Oberlo]

Great question Jorge! In that case you'll want to either a) select products with ePacket in various countries or b) sell only to countries with ePacket. There's hundreds of thousands of products so if you keep looking you are sure to find more with different shipping options for your business! -Tommy

Finding a good supplier and products to sell is not an easy task. However, the staff here go out of their way to respond to your questions and concerns and give you much needed advice and direction. They respond quickly and answer your questions always clearly so you're not going back and forth. Although I've dealt with a few of their customer service reps whom have all been wonderful, the most recent one was Rhea and she has been extremely helpful.
