Hi Ross does orbelo also work in south africa?

[@Oberlo]

Hey there! Yes, absolutely. There are some things you'll need to consider. Our ASK forum has lots of discussions about South Africa. Check it out (bit.ly/2U2yUcf)! -Jessica 🙂

[@opulentTV]

Oberlo may work in South Africa but the shipping time taking so long for the Customers to keep waiting for long that's the big issue

[@Oberlo]

I understand your concerns Paul. That's why most South African dropshippers will sell to other countries instead. Just because you're located in South Africa, doesn't mean you can't sell to the United States or Europe that has faster shipping options! -Jessica

[@ScottHilse]

Ross M loved it! I would have used these myself , great job

[@waflestix346]

This is why I love orbelo. Great customer service and they are always pushing success stories

what is the best ecommerce theme on shopify?

[@jeromematthews392]

Hi guys, brilliant content as always, just wanted to ask about something I read in the live chat replay, Does Oberlo offer store reviews? Would they cost? If so how much? I'm working on populating my first general store with a few product categories and would like an objective eye on the collections and layout of my store. Also, an aside, on the eternal question of general V.S niche where (if you have a stance) do you guys fall? I personally am of the mind that it all comes down to how well you as a marketer can find the right audiences for either sales path. That being said, I've started along the path of a general/niche store - general store branding with a variety of niche product collections tied together under the brand. All thoughts welcome on this. Thanks in advance.

[@Oberlo]

Hi Jerome, thanks for your kind words! Oberlo absolutely offers store reviews. If you email our support team at [e-mail], they would be happy to review it. They see hundreds of stores (successful and not) regularly, so they are experts when it comes to reviews. For the general vs. niche debate, we fall on the niche side. We suggest starting with a niche because it's easier to identify your target customer and audience. This is especially helpful when it comes to marketing. However, we have seen many successful general stores! General stores can be equally successful, but we do not recommend them for beginners! -Jessica

[@jeromematthews392]

@@Oberlo Hi, okay, that's great to hear. I'll be looking to submit my store front for a review then. Thank you! Regarding the niche option, I've heard that as well, but I was concerned about what's also said regarding the long term sustainability of a niche store. Being that general stores may take longer to gain momentum, but have a better long term viability as an investment over the niche store...

[@Oberlo]

That's a fair argument. However, you can always add new products to niche stores too! For example, there are new trending products for the travel niche every year! -Jessica

[@johnym1]

Question. Would need to have a different URL for each product you would like to sell?

[@Oberlo]

Great question Johny! You do not need a different URL for each product. You can use one URL for your store and list all your products there! -Jessica

[@pathfinderstravelmagazine2903]

Not throwing shade but captions would be most helpful. Great information, just a tad bit difficult understand.

[@Oberlo]

Thanks for the insight. We're working on captions for future videos so more of our viewers can access the information! -Jessica

Process

[@luigidaniele6175]

Agreed, I scaled a $5 margin product to over 200 sales and regret it, all the customer service and orders to handle for only $1,000 now I'm scaling a $25 margin product and already did $200 in 1 day, but now it is only 8 orders to handle, but if it was the other product it would have been 40 orders

[@kishorevasanjee6918]

Ross/Jessica, is there a way I can try using Oberlo, without any funds? I have wiped out all my finance's in the recent shutdown and need to do something to supplement my income?

[@luigidaniele6175]

Oberlo is always free, there is no cost to you

[@Oberlo]

Hi Kishore, thanks for the question! While dropshipping is very economical, you will still need some funds to start. The Oberlo Starter plan is free forever, but you will need a Shopify store to sell those products. Shopify's Basic plan is $29 USD per month. If you can put this together, you can start! -Jessica

[@mikeyanthony612]

do you have any actual proof that dropshipping can still be used to make money in 2019? i feel like its super saturated and the prices of FB ads are too high

[@Oberlo]

Hey there, Mike! We have merchants every day who earn profits operating these businesses. Dropshipping isn't going anywhere. It's big business. To say it's saturated is to say that retail is saturated. Yes, it's fiercely competitive, but that doesn't mean you can't carve out your own place in a niche by marketing effectively and providing value to your website visitors. Hope this helps! -Jessica

[@luigidaniele6175]

Dropshipping is just a fulfillment business model, at the end of the day it still takes work and dedication. Kylie jenner made $1 Billion from dropshipping with shopify, and there are thousands of people making 6 figures per month, even 7 figure per month. Just like any other business you have to be dedicated

[@yes247]

Dropshipping will always be profitable. Just look at Wayfair. They just reported a huge increase in sales during Q4. They are proof that you can be extremely profitable if you use this business model well. Remember that Dropshipping is a business model, not a trendy product, etc. It is wholesale minus storing inventory. Therefore I would personally 1) Create a specific niche not general (after research to make sure the niche is not on the decline) 2) Sell products from manufacturers/suppliers from within the US if that is your major targeted market.

when you sell the product to non English speaking countries and you want to change the language on ads, what about the product page? Do you leave it in English? or do you change it as well? or is there any way that you can make your product page showing whatever language that the victors speak?

[@Oberlo]

Hey! Awesome question. If your main target market is a country that does not speak English you will want to change everything on your website to the language they speak. That includes product pages and descriptions. You want to make the customers feel as comfortable as possible and make it easy for them to make their purchase. 😀 -Kitana

[@sappewaligold99]

I tried shopify dropshipping but I went bankrupt because I only got 1 buyer and my money ran out for advertising, and now my money has run out and my domain has expired. I need the ingredients

[@Oberlo]

Hey there! I've been there! Ads can be expensive and aren't the easiest to learn necessarily. If you're planning on taking another run at a dropship business, make sure to follow along with these Facebook Ads (bit.ly/2GZ3v3f) fundamentals. Also, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [e-mail] for guidance and help when you get stuck. Hope this helps! -Jessica

[@alexanderlisgaar3770]

How do you get the products influencers? If the shipping time is 3 weeks - it will be one long wait to be able to market your product. The same with getting the product for yourself to make a video or take your own photos of it?

[@Ndasuunye]

They're promoting oberlo exclusive products. Different country origins

[@Oberlo]

Hey there! Yes, you're right. It's not a fast process to get started, it takes planning. This is a business just like any other, and so careful planning is required. And it can take some time to get things ramped up. What you could do is test products using FB ads to make sure you've proven the concept before you begin to invest heavily in marketing and promotional materials. Hope that helps! -Jessica 🙂

[@Oberlo]

Ah, thank you for the time stamp I see what you are referring to now! You actually can't "get that" necessarily, it's just your Instagram profile picture when you're anywhere else on Instagram. If you go to Instagram and browse a profile or the explore page, you'll see your own Instagram icon in that bottom right corner! -Jessica

How long did it take for you to finally start seeing some actual significant progress?

[@waflestix346]

Took me 3 months. Went from one sale in January to 13 sales this week and it’s onky getting better. I just use FB marketing. You can show ads on IG too. Influencers ask for a lot of money

[@alexosow]

@@waflestix346 What niche are you selling? Could I check out your website?

[@luigidaniele6175]

Depends on the knowledge you already have, I just started a product about a week ago and it already has over $300+ in sales, yesterday alone was $200 in revenue. I know a girl who got a store to $10K within the first 7 days. Point is we both had months of studying marketing and E-ccomerce and developing strategy to have that happen.

[@THEREALKAYO1]

How do you make any profit? If you buy for 3-4$ and sell for 10$? With facebook ads cost theres almost no profit? How do you get such cheap ads? Thanks

[@Oberlo]

Hey Anderson! You can set your margins to whatever you like. If it's not covering your ad spend, you either want to increase the prices or change your advertising method! -Jessica

[@THEREALKAYO1]

Oberlo 1 more question. About changing the ads language to spanish for spain example. Thats great. But what about when the customer lands on your website? The website is still in english.. so they see a spanish ad but english website so it may confuse them?

[@Oberlo]

Hi Anderson! It may confuse them, but many websites are in English. Most of your Spanish customers won't be surprised, or their browser will offer to automatically translate it for them. Otherwise, you can add a translator app to your store front so they can change the language (bit.ly/2EqQ7a3)! -Jessica

[@redearthgear4095]

You get their email addresses when they buy and you retarget via email therefore no advertising costs

Are these one product store ideas?

[@Oberlo]

Hey there! That's entirely up to you. Some people feel it's a good strategy to put all your efforts into a single SKU store. Others would rather have a general store that can test all sorts of products. At the end of the day, it's all about your personal marketing strategy. If you want to sell a carefully curated selection of products on a site that you can build a brand around, that's a good strategy. Or, if you want to build a brand around a single item, that works too! -Jessica
