My AliExpress Dropshipping Journey

[Yaros]

After several months of hard work, I have finally launched my first AliExpress dropshipping store - WorldOfHarry.com.

The site was developed from scratch (including the theme and special ecommerce plugin that allows searching and importing products directly from AliExpress through your WP admin panel automatically).

Based on experience of other successful dropshipping projetcs I decided:
- take a narrow niche;
- select only most popular products in this niche;
- import products with wholesale price not more than $20;
- increase prices at about twice the standard cost;
- sell products with free worldwide shipping option only;

Another feature of this site is that the plugin imports only products that participate in AliExpress affiliate program. So, if I get any order I will be able to purchase necessary item on AliExpress using my affiliate link to get additional 5%-50% commission.

The site still needs some improvements but I am going to start marketing it very soon and I will be glad to share my experience with you here.

Nice site op! One advice, be careful with aliexpress products because sometimes they are a bit different than advertised, mainly clothes sizes and colors, always check feedback of the product! Rinse and repeat and im pretty sure you will have success with those sites!

Thanks! You are absolutely right. I check all products and suppliers very carefully and I am sure it is one of the keys to success.

That's a good start for beginning. I recommend that you build some affiliate sites as well. PM me and I will send you some Guides and give discount on AliPlugin if you need it.
