I followed your instructions. However, AutoDS only added 10 items to my Shopify store. I do I get it to automatically add more items? ... much appreciated.

[@Timothy-y7e]

I guess this video was his lazy way to make money 😂

[@PatrickStar12341]

Yea, not really liking more of this kind of content from Brian recently 😒

[@nimzi4479]

Little Timmy felt this video was a personal attack,so he tried the cliched "no,you" response.

[@martinlazar9420]

How do you make money from a drop-shipping company. Convince other people to do it while you don’t do it yourself and get paid. I have to say I like this channel normally but this is a great way to cause incredible harm to your brand.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

I do dropping shipping and have for years. It’s at the top of my channel.

[@martinlazar9420]

@ so the statistics for failure of drop shipping is currently well over 90%. As you said it is part of your revenue stream; which makes more your drop shipping business or your advertising the drop shipping business. As I said I like most of your content but things like this which actually take real time to succeed and will pretty much fail if you are lazy hurts your brand a bit.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

@@martinlazar9420 I stand by it - I sell dropshipping as one of nearly a dozen side income streams. Most who fail (at any business) don't know how to market themselves. I know how to market myself and I am not bashful about admitting it. People have asked me repeatedly for easy side hustles, and this is one option. (but then again, people will always find something to complain about)

Long time subscriber from the very beginning and it looks like it’s finally time to unsubscribe. I guess this channel is large enough now to attract scams. It looks like the KZbin cycle got another channel.

[@kajkabea]

Heavy lifting is not building a store. It is to attract traffic to your store.

[@christianbaer2897]

Taking amazon as an example for a successful e-commerce business for lazy side hustle is far reaching (at best). It took them 14 years to be profitable and even today the ecommerce side of that business is not the biggest revenue stream.

[@ZestySea]

@@christianbaer2897 Correct. Nothing like these ads to “sell on Amazon” and now “sell on Audible”

[@MW-greatteacher10]

And 30 million others are doing the same thing. Maybe make $3 an hour when all the screen staring and clicking is done. Im exhausted just thinking about sitting and clicking. Go outside, excersise.. get healthy. A penny saved is a penny earned. Save your brain, save your health.

[@ghostyliss]

This is the modern day version of a Dove/Tupperware/Avon sales tactic. They do the management of your inventory/site/etc. for you and all you have to do is pay them for doing so and also find people to sell their - I mean "your" stuff to.

[@speedracer9132]

I was going to say amway, but yes the Tupperware/Avon especially reminds me of this

[@IKFKSwitch]

Not as much multi level marketing (pyramid, like mary kay/amway/herbalife, total scams) but more like drop shipping. You sell the manufacturer's stuff so they don't have to deal with that, and they ship. Most sellers on Amazon do this.

[@spacegene]

Your role in the process is to be the marketer.

[@bamboojenkins8]

I'm an introvert and would never feel comfortable making videos to promote my site. Not sure how I could make this work otherwise.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

You don't need to show your face in videos. Faceless product demos or try posting on Reddit forums, Facebook, etc.

[@izharkhan8173]

You are a good guy, please do not decieve people just for a few bucks.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Please specifically explain in detail how this is deceptive. I’ll listen.

[@ikaustralia]

​@@ALifeAfterLayoff unless you know online marketing that includes understanding niches, selecting products, sourcing or creating it, generating traffic via SEO, etc. making a store will bring you nothing. And if you know all of this then you won't be selecting Shopify but build your own store) Your job video are great, though

[@spacegene]

@@ALifeAfterLayoff The marketing, which we don't see, is 95% of the task.

[@bethtaylor9773]

Every review I've read on Reddit says scam and doesn't work.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Selling products online is a scam?

[@treytwey5366]

@@ALifeAfterLayoff Defensive reply VS explaining better makes it sound more like a scam.

[@janicetitano1387]

I already see how many ways to market myself. That is time well worth spent.

[@MrSkunkwork]

Affiliate marketing. That's all this is.

[@Hans-de8du]

aka a modern pyramid scheme/sham. hate to see channels succumb to this.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Well, not really - more drop shipping, but I suppose it's the same principle. You'll make more with drop shipping as you set your own prices.

[@id-10-terror7]

@@ALifeAfterLayoff Wish I had got into this before the pandemic.

[@MrSkunkwork]

@ALifeAfterLayoff Affiate marketing is not scammy in my opinion. A lot of people have become millionaires doing it. I was just noticing that the concepts of affiliate marketing and what you're posting here are similar.

[@spacegene]

@@id-10-terror7 It's not too late; most people quit because they suck at marketing.

[@nicholasrosen6342]

I have some savings bonds from 30 years ago that I plan to cash in tomorrow. And my grandfather left me some royalties to his textbooks. Inheriting money doesn't always get handed down to wealthy kids. Some people save enough and have good/excellent credit. Some people are lucky enough to be gifted with savings bonds by family and loved ones such as the occasion of birth, birthday, confirmations, graduations, Bar mitzvahs, etc. But be sure enough to invest in inherited money wisely when you're not someone who's not so wealthy.

I know how to 3D model in Blender for the past 10 years and never managed to turn that into a career. The best I got was a job for 50$ on Upwork to model in detail a smoke detector where I had no reference images and had to make up the components and circuit board layout.

[@speedracer9132]

This is really a stray from your usual videos and I suspect you will receive much well deserved feedback about this

[@goddessvault]

So the next question is how to get people to your store? This is where people fail. How can you market this without spamming social media? Are you also going to talk about other side hustles that out there as well?

[@baba-ganoush]

You have to buy the product tho

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

No you don't. You never hold inventory or have to worry about shipping. You just provide a storefront and then the customers.

[@imcrazyru1]

I followed your instructions on this video. However, it now only shows ten items on my new Shopify account. Your video tells very little about how to get this AI dropshipping up and running. Where do I go from here?

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Log back into AutoDS to find additional products to add to your storefront based on the category of your business. I personally added a few new ones related to my niche, tweaked pricing, etc. Once you have the product blend you think works best for you, publish the storefront (check it out first to make sure everything reads cleanly) and then you'd begin marketing it.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Log back into AutoDS - you can add as many products as you'd like. You can tweak the descriptions and pricing strategy. From there, just publish the store, and you're ready to start marketing your storefront.

[@TheManateeRebel]

So how exactly is it possible for me to pay a ‘small subscription fee’ to a website and then they cover the cost of: -the stock your website sells -the logistics of inventory -delivering the stock you sell

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Your drop shipping partner handles all of that. You do not need to buy and carry inventory nor handle shipping.

[@TheManateeRebel]

@ So your website makes money for you by selling inventory that someone else has paid for?

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

@@TheManateeRebelI sell a mug on my site. I promote the mug. My partner supplier creates and ships the mug once ordered. They get a cut. I get a cut. You don’t carry the inventory or pay for it. Your supplier does.

[@PowerShellWizard]

Not trying to be difficult here, but i just dont ubderstand how this works. So shopify builds the web site on my behalf, they use AI to determine which products to surface and at what unit cost, and some other entity tskes care of jnventory and shipping. In exchange i pay somewhere between 19 to 40 a month. What actually do i have to "do" to contribute to the business? Again, not being a jerk here i just need to understand what the "catch" is.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Build Your Store creates the Shopify storefront and acts as your inventory management, order fulfillment and shipping partner. Your job is to market your products to people who would want to buy them. (Which is admittedly the hardest part) They do the heavy lifting - you build your brand.

[@joepiekl]

​@@ALifeAfterLayoff So if someone orders a product for $10 on my storefront, where is that money going? Who gets how much of the $10?

[@epotnwarlock]

Since youve probably seen a ton of resumes what are some interesting "side hustles" or sole proprietor businesses you have come across?

[@MelodyProsser]

Marketing myself has never been my forte.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

It's a skill that's well worth developing - you'll need it in your career and any side income stream.

[@Domain_Man1]

Ofcourse the more that buy into the ease of all this, thus increasing the likelihood of your drop ship biz failing. What's 50'000 drop ship ideas X zero profit = 0 - wow, I'd better stick to my Business Admin diploma as it just saved me a bunch of cash and wasted time.

[@brendah4773]

Can I do this with my baked goods?

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Probably not - An etsy store would be better.

[@brendah4773]

@ oh gotcha. Ok, thanks!

[@MichiganPeatMoss]

2024: Any idea what the "regular charge" is after 90 days? Commensurate with sales volume, etc?

There are different options, but I'd go with the cheapest route first to gain traction.
