Doing social media marketing for My 'Harry' site for the last two weeks, I found out one good strategy. Actually I knew about it before, but now I got added evidence that it works on my own experience.

ADVICE: When you are promoting your dropshipping site using social media marketing, don't forget to post ALL your products on your social pages which connected to your site.

Like here on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/World-Of-Harry-.../timeline/

If you follow this advice your products can be easily found on Google on top positios.

Let's take an example!

I am searching on Google for one of my keywords: 'Lord Voldemort Wall Sticker' and find this:

As you can see from this screenshot, AliExpress is not on the first position, as well as my site, but my Pinterest page (with a link to my site) is a winner! Check it here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/345018021431391332/

And I have the same results for many other products from my site.

It should be also noted, that this strategy works best for Facebook and Pinterest, but it does not mean that you should ignore Instgram and G+.

I got two packages today from AliExpress and I did not find any receipts and prices.

That's really good , Good luck for your business....

Good news.

Alibaba Group’s logistics affiliate Cainiao has signed an agreement with the United States Postal Service (USPS). The two companies agreed to work together to speed delivery of merchandise sold through AliExpress to consumers in the United States.

Last week got some drop in traffic. This week I am going to launch paid ads on FB, let's see how it will work out.

I am gald that my customers started getting their orders! No refunds so far.

And I am satisfied with social media accounts which give traffic, orders and some great reviews:

Congratulations on your success buddy!! you are really action taker and good implementor!! Thanks for sharing this information with us..

You can surely use facebook paid ads to increase your sale. I saw one particular course that really break down and show the case study on selling harry potter novelty, its hermione's pendant I think.
Here is the link, https://mega.co.nz/#F!FAog2JST!fcnOG8MWjR_vtuTcS-xt6A . Take a look on the "OTO/Case Studies" folder!!

I really believe you can benefit from this.
I am quick to share with you my stats for September:

Total income: $733,55
Supplier costs: $279,32
Affiliate commission: $13,17
Net profit: $467,40

Top 3 countries people purchased from:
United States
Germany
United Kindom

Best product of the month (7 items sold) - Hermione Granger Rotating Time Turner Necklace Gold Hourglass - free shipping worldwide

I think not bad for beginning, especially considering the fact that I did not spend anything on paid advertising in September. Most purchases came from organic and social media traffic.

This month I am going to try PPC, craiglist, paid FB ads and crowd marketing and share these startegies with you. And I have decided to develop another webstore for another niche. Starting designing a new theme for it right now.

I think you should get it soon.

I would like to share with you my FB advertising campaign strategy.

To launch paid ads on FB for my Harry site I use Power Editor instead of using a regular FB tools that has some limitations.

Importnat: Power Editor works only with Google Chrome. To open this tool you need to go to http://www.facebook.com/ads/manage/powereditor or use a necessary tab on FB ads manager:

As soon as you enter Power Editor, click ‘Download to Power Editor’ in order to add accounts you need to get access for:

To create a campaign, click the following button:

Then you need to name the campaign, set objective (choose ‘Clicks to website’) and give titles to your ads group and ads:

Then we need to edit our campaign on a group and ads level where we should set targets, budget and create texts.

For my Harry site I use the type of ads which can include several images and links.

In ‘Create Ad tab’ I select ‘Ad with multiply images in a carousel’.

Then I start creating my ads loading them with titles, descriptions, prices and images.

Important: as my experience shows, people mostly buy from desktop devices, that’s why I remove the option to show my ads on mobile gadgets:

Targeting:

Before creating my ads on FB I went to https://www.google.com/trends/ and found the countries where the ‘Harry Potter’ keyword is extremely popular.

Then I added all possible keywords associated with Harry Potter niche.

Lastly, I set age range from 18 to 65+:

Budget:

For this type of ads (like Carousel), ‘Daily Budget’ option is the best. My daily budget is $5:

My advertising campaign started on the 7th of October and will end on 31st of October:

With such budget and settings mentioned above, I get following results:
- Clicks – 241 daily on average
- Cost per click - $0.02!

I have already got some good results from this campaign. For example, today I got an order from Mexico generated by this Facebook adverstising campaign:
