Another question my friend, if you are using paypal as payment gateway, what is the % to add in your store based in the aliexpress product price?

Greetings

If you mean what prices I have on my store I can say that I usually increase them twice comparing with prices on Ali.

So if price in Aliexpress is $12.00 you increase twice = $24.00 correct?

Yes, right in general. If the price on AliExpress is from $1 to $10 I usually increase by three times. For $10 - $30 two times. For $30+ items I add 1.5 coefficient.

Thanks Yaros

Shoutouts Results:

It was my first experience with Instagram shoutouts. I spent $29 on these two posts. They were published on the 11th of November and were live for 48 hours.

I got a good increase of traffic:



Orders: 7
Gross revenue: $173,69
Supplier costs: 89,91
Net profit: $83,78

$83,78 - $29 (spent on shoutouts) = $54,78.

Besides, I got many likes and followers on my Instagram account.

I think I could earn more if I have credit cards payment option connected to my site, because there were many users who dropped the checkout page.

Regarding FB ads, I also found that video ads on FB work better for me than regular text ads. And it should be noted that's sometimes it is not a great idea to send traffic from your FB video ads directly to your webstore, some landing page needed. I am using following strategy:

1. I write a small article and add it to the blog of my webstore.

Example: http://worldofharry.com/blog/5-items-tru...e-without/



2. I create a small video and launch advertising campaign for Facebbok.

Example: https://www.facebook.com/149363705092793...359878935/



3. Users whatch the video, visit the blog post and then go to place orders.

It works!

You can increase it by clicking x1.2, x2, x3 buttons on the plugin settings. But this plugin is not for sale yet.

I know there were quite many complaints about AliExpress regarding delivery time issues before. But it should be noted that AliExpress has improved delivery time for the last year seriously and continue working on this signing agreements with major local and international postal service companies, including US. Anyway, my main strategy now is to take not expensive products and with free shipping option only. In this case customers are more willing to wait longer. So far, almost all my customers are happy!
