Glad to hear you are getting the organic traffic @nick, that is a big boost. I also am getting decent traffic that is not converting currently. We are always going to lose a lot of conversions to poor lead time, but some are willing to wait. I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure it is because...

PM sent.

I have been thinking (hoping) the same. Customers look at the delivery times and quickly figure out it won't get delivered before the holiday so they abandon carts. I'm hoping sales start to pick back up after the holiday.

I would contact support.

The prices pull down with the import. Then, on a regular basis, go into your admin AliDropship/Settings/Updates and run that. It will update pricing and inventory for all your items. The rest of the product (title, description, images etc) are left as is.

I'm not so worried about Christmas/New Years delays as everyone seems to expect that. Chinese New Year's however is another story. Not sure yet what I'll do about that. The waiting is a pain. Once you get your email that the appeal has been accepted, you must wait another 24 hours before...

Yes that icon was a botched color swap that I forgot to go back and fix. Thanks for that reminder. I am going to bump the low end prices up some, but I'm afraid to go too high because it is a competitive market. My hope is the inexpensive items are a gateway to upsell the others. Plus I've...

The package came in that was sent via AliExpress Standard Shipping. Something interesting happened. Here's the tracking from the AliExpress site: Notice several days spent in Hebron, Kentucky. Now notice the package I received: It appears to me it must have been repackaged or labeled at...

Congrat's on the sales! The ordering process is finicky. I don't think you can use the auto order process with Firefox as it uses the Chrome plugin. My last couple have gone a little smoother, but I'm not sure why. Looking forward to seeing what methods work best for you and what kind of...

Great info @dezigna. I was already in the kingpinning group and just joined the other. I had already determined to stay away from trademarked goods. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the helmets site is not dropshipping correct? Looks like they must warehouse the items based on the given lead times.

Gotcha. I have already started some research for my next niche. Just not quite ready to give up on this one. I think you advise to keep this site, but get some SEO done and not market it so much. Rather start to focus on site #2. Let me know if that's not what you meant. Thanks for the input as...

Thanks @Poni . I will likely bump up the lower end a little. The reason I'm keeping it low is 1) competition as cheap items are plentiful and 2) volume. These are items people often buy multiples of. A couple of my best sales were people ordering a bunch of inexpensive items. I think I follow...

Well I finally got around to making up my tracking spreadsheet(s). So, as promised, I can share the details of where I currently sit. (drum roll) I forgot to total up revenue before the screenshot, but it is at $313.84. My initial sales did not have the affiliate account set up yet which is...

Hi @Poni and welcome! We're all on a earning curve here so you fit right in. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

I had an order from Bosnia and Herzegovina for a $10 (cost) item. The only shipping the supplier offered to there was DHL at an additional cost of $35. How has anyone dealt with this before? Just eat the cost? Refund the customer with and explanation? I was fortunate that another seller had the...

I wondered the same. I have an item coming to me that was sent with 'AliExpress Standard Shipping'. I'll report what the packaging looks like when it arrives. The tracking shows it not too far away so hopefully it will get here in the next couple days.

Great write up @waterlion - I'm glad to see someone else having difficulty finding shout-outs for under $25. I'm having good success with giveaways and will have some 'product-for-shout-out' items arriving soon as well. I also am using Yoast and I've been editing the product slugs to shorten...

For me, the authentication part seems to be better now. Not sure if it was with the new version of the plugin or if the Chrome extension updated automatically. I now seem to have a different issue. The process at times opens multiple tabs each logging in. The cart will have the items but the...

It was pointed out to me that I've been on the forum exactly one month, so I figured another quick update is in order. I have ceased the FB ads for now and re-doubled my efforts in IG. I've sponsored two more giveaways through influencers and one more is scheduled. I'm nearing 2k followers and...

Looks like you're off to a good start. A few things notices after a quick look: Looks like you took the text from my home page. I don't mind, but please make it specific to your site. It still talks about notebooks! You will need to do similar text on your Category pages for SEO purposes. Some...
