My AliExpress Dropshipping Journey. Need help and advice!

[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.

It would be great if you could review my site, give some recommendations, ideas, share your experience or just wish me Good luck!

Hey man, so do I understand correctly that this website is for US market.

How are you dealing with this issue - that shipping will take such a long way to ship it from China?

Other than that - if you know ways how to bring targeted direct traffic - it could work

Also I would put top selling items - Above the fold :)

The site look awesome, seriously!
I wish I could make one like that.

How do you manage to get traffic?

I don't understand, when your are affiliated with Aliexpress, I think everything customer buy from your site will directly to Aliexpress and they will shipping that product to your customer for you or you will buy and receive product from aliexpress first then send it to your customer ?

I personally think the best advice you could get would be to read The Lean Start-up.

Would you mind saying how much you have invested to this point?
