Automating Your Dropshipping Store | $1,382/Day Profit on Autopilot

In this video, I talk about how I automated one of my new dropshipping stores to the point where it generates around $1400/day in profit with only 15-30 minutes of work. Specifically, I cover the three main time-consuming tasks that need to be taken care of while running a one-product dropshipping store at scale: customer service, order fulfillment, and marketing.

Main Time Consuming Tasks

• Customer service
• Order fulfillment
• Marketing

Automating Customer Service

• Use ZenDesk integrated with Shopify to keep things organized and save time with macros
• Hire customer service reps (CSR) on UpWork
• I usually pay $7-8 per hour, you get what you pay for
• Only hire people with experience using ZenDesk
• Communicate with your team on Skype when need be
• Put a lot of work training your first CSR, then get them to train new ones

Automating Order Fulfillment

• Dropshipping agent
• By focusing on one product, can streamline the fulfillment process
• Agent connected my store to his ERP system, two-way integration
• Orders are automatically fulfilled without me having to do anything
• I pay him ahead of time so he can stock my product and ship orders out within 24 hours

Automating Marketing

• Hardest to automate, especially at the start when you are testing a lot
• Can outsource to ad agencies, not recommended
• During the scaling phase, it’s possible to automate
• I spend only about 15 minutes a night creating new adsets
• Automated rules are used to pause and re-activate adsets (RevealBot)

Tasks Not Automated

• Business & growth strategy. For this particular store I’m building it into a private label brand
• Generating content. This can be outsourced (i.e. Ecomvids) but if you have a clear vision it’s better to do it yourself
• Finances (managing cash flow, send money to my agent, communicating with accountant etc.)
