1 INTR TROD OD ODUCTI UCTI UCTIO ON - ABOUT ME My name is Ryan and I live in the Baltics. I have tried various ways to earn money online but none of them earned me as much as Dropshipping with Instagram shoutouts. I tried penny stock trading but failed, same with the poker. I got a small success with Amazon Affiliate but nothing big. In late 2016 I saw a Dropshipping thread on BHW forum. Soon, I opened my first store. Then I opened 3 more. I didn't have much money to spend so I did only free advertising - SEO, Instagram botting, Facebook group share, Twitter etc. In the next one and a half year, I earned around 10k in revenue and about 5k of that was profit. Well, let's be honest, I thought I will earn much more than that but as I worked a fulltime job and didn't spend a dollar from the Dropshipping money I had 5k in my account and I thought I have to start do paid advertising. First, I tried Facebook ads but failed. Then tried Instagram shoutouts and fell in love with them. I bought my first Instagram shoutout in July 2018 and since then I have earned more than $50k in revenue. In this guide, I will show you all my tips and tricks so you can earn money with Dropshipping too.

2 OVE ETHO VERVIE RVIE RVIEW WO OFF TTHE HE METHO HOD D: Goal is to make money with dropshipping store using Instagram influencers as the main traffic source. What you will need? 1. Find a niche which is fine for promoting on Instagram. 2. A dropshipping website. 3. An Aliexpress.com account to get products to sell. (You can use other suppliers offcourse and apply to this method too.) 4. An Instagram account related to your Dropshipping store. 5. Choose products to promote, prepare content (pictures/videos) 6. Find accounts for shoutouts That’s it. The rest is just the work to aim your goal.

3 PROO ROOFF O OFF EA EARN RN RNING ING INGSS One of my stores earnings before I started promos.

My main store earnings using Instagram Shoutouts.

I made $51,004 total until February 28. I opened my store in late June, bought my first shoutout in July. The start was slow becasue I was afraid to spend much money on shoutouts but then since September things started to switch gears and in the next 6 months I made $46,289.43.

6

The costs are not correct because I am using Wordpress with Alidropship and they implemented costs tab recently and it doesn’t collect costs from Aliexpress before that. But anyway, the profit after all expenses from $51k is around 40%. That’s much more than people are gaining with Facebook ads. As I know their average profit range is around 20-25%.

Traffic.

8

As you can see I got more than 200k users to my dropship store. And almost 1 million pageviews.

Most of the traffic was mobile as most people use Instagram on phones. And as you can see 156k out of 200k users came from Instagram. One line is from Instagram profiles website clicks and another one is swipe-up stories clicks.

Ok, enough statistics. Let’s jump into the guide.

4 WHA HAT T IS DRO ROPS PS PSHIPP HIPP HIPPING ING? I won't dig too deep here becasue I think if you have bought this e-book then you are already familiar with Dropshipping business model. So I will write only a brief summary of why I love Dropshipping. (If you just started out search for dropshipping guides on google or start with these). Basically, dropshipping is an e-commerce store where you sell products that you actually don't own, you don't have a warehouse. So when you sell a product you purchase it from a third party and they ship it directly to your customer. Everyone is a winner - the third party gets a sale from you, you get a sale from customer and customer get a product.

Dropshipping Pros: 

Don't need large capital. I think this is the biggest benefit. You don't need to make a product, you don't need a team, you don't need a warehouse etc. So basically you don't have to invest thousands up front. You can start with literally no money at all. I am an example that that's possible. Well, I had a little bit of money but you got the point.



  

Easy to Start. Trust me, opening and setting up a dropshipping store is easy. All you have to do is register a domain, make a website, add products, make the website look good and that's it. I will guide you through this step in this guide. Flexibility. This is one of the best advantages. You can work from your laptop from anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection. Large choice of products. You can sell anything. Most of dropshippers sell products from Aliexpress and there are a ton of products to sell. Scalability. You can scale easily just by adding more products to your store and that doesn't cost you anything. Just a little bit of work. 10

Dropshipping Cons:   

Competition. Due to the popularity of dropshipping and low start-up costs, there is a lot of competition. But trust me - there is a place for everyone. Inventory Issues. As you don't own a product you can't be sure that the quality of the products is always great. Shipping time. If you source products from Aliexpress then the shipping time will be bad. Always try to use e-packet shipping to deliver shipments faster. Around 80% of customer complaints are about shipping time but you just have to be professional and explain the situation for example due to high demand our shipping times are slower etc.

5 IS IT WOR ORTH TH IT? WHY INST NSTAGR AGR AGRAM AM? It requires work to build a successful business, it has advantages and disadvantages but it's definitely worth it.

Instagram has more than 1 billion monthly active users. So there is room for everyone. If others can make money with Instagram you can too. I chose Instagram Shoutouts because it's an easy method, doesn't require large starting capital and it's fun. 11

Shoutouts don't seem like an ad (if you don't make them look like an ad). And as you post in big bloggers’ accounts that are related to your niche you receive high engagement - a lot of likes, comments, link clicks, and sales. And the good part is that with shoutouts you gain popularity also to your own account.

5. 5.1 1 INST STAGRA AGRA AGRAM M SHOU HOUTOUT TOUT MET METHOD HOD PRO ROSS    

Easy to start Low start-up costs Great profit percentage A ton of influencers to work with

5. 5.2 2 INST STAGRA AGRA AGRAM M SHOU HOUTOUT TOUT MET METHOD HOD CON ONSS  

Can't scale. (Almost impossible to scale to 7 figures) Can't control Targeting. You may get a lot of visitors but not many sales if visitors come from Mexico for example. I have more than 5k users from Mexico and only 1 sale. So don't be surprised if your conversion rate is below 1%. That's completely normal as you are targeting a worldwide audience.

Keep reading this e-book and I will ease your way to the profitable dropshipping store.

6 HOW M MUCH UCH M MONE ONE ONEYY D DO O YOU NEE NEED D TO ST START ART DROPS OPSHIP HIP HIPPI PI PING NG?

To answer that we have to know what we need and here are the steps to launching a store:     

Pick a niche – $0 Build a website – $40 - 150 Find suppliers - $0 Add products to the website - $0 Buy Instagram Shoutouts to get sales – Starting from $250

So minimum would be around $290-400 but I recommend to start with a larger budget to test various products and Instagram profiles.

7 NICH ICHE E AND PRO RODUC DUC DUCTS TS RES ESEA EA EARCH RCH Is your niche suitable for advertising on Instagram? This is the most important step if you want to use Instagram Shoutouts as the main marketing instrument. Because not all products are good for Instagram. For example, forget about tech products, you won't find many accounts where to promote and also engagement will be low because who would like random tech product pictures? You have to determine whether your niche is good or not for Instagram shoutouts. Try to understand what could be your potential customers, what age they are, do they even use Instagram? Keep in mind the following points when brainstorming about your potential niche. Combine at least 2 of them. 



People buy on emotions. So when you think about niche try to imagine what you could post on Instagram to show emotions. It's more likely that people will click on emotional pictures. Problem-solving product. If the product solves a problem and people have it, they probably will click on your post. Stand out. Don't use regular jewelry or clothing pictures. If you have jewelry or clothing niche, make pictures look attractive, unique and recognizable. Passions and interests. Think about your own interest and hobbies. Then take a look around, there are a lot of people passionate about fishing, camping, outdoors, sports, music, pets etc. Trend. There always some trends, i.e. fidget spinners. Those are harder to catch but if you do, you can make a killing from trends. Not easily found in traditional stores. Here I don't mean Amazon or eBay because it's almost impossible to find products who aren't on those 2 giants. I mean local supermarkets like Wallmart etc. "wow" factor. A product that makes someone appear excited or...
