And drop shipping is definitely the most affordable and least energy-consuming way to pull it off.

So, you’ve decided to get your own drop shipping store, and even purchased our plugin for this purpose – now what? Let’s explore the step-by-step process of launching your awesome moneymaking business!

We have already written tons of tips on how to start a drop shipping business, attract buyers and promote your store in the way that would make your competitors turn green just like Hulk.

However, we regularly receive one simple question from the beginners: “What’s my next step after getting theplugin?”

In this article, we want to answer this and many other newcomers’ questions in detail. Meet our “drop shipping for dummies” guide and learn what to do if you are just starting out.

Drop shipping for dummies: technical issues

First things first: to make the most of AliDropship plugin, you need to install it on the website where your store will be located. Here’s what you need to do if you don’t have the necessary site yet.

1. Buy a domain

When creating a website for the first time in their life, most of the people have no idea what a domain is, and why they need to get it.

In simple terms, a domain name is the address of your website. If you imagine that your website is a house, a domain name will be its address. All domain names are unique just like fingertips. It means you will not find 2 identical domain names on the Internet. For example, the domain name (address) of our website is alidropship.com and it is only one of its kind.

In order to get a domain name, visit such website as GoDaddy, for example. Type a desired domain name in the search box and click the search button.

If your domain name is already taken, you will get a list of available ones. For example, I want to register the domain name “acooldomainname.com”, but it is already used. As you see, the service offers me some alternatives. I can choose a domain name from this list or look for another one.

If you want to learn more about how to choose the perfect domain name for your drop shipping store, feel free to read our article. And we come to the next step.

2. Find a hosting provider

Let’s say you have chosen and bought a domain name. Now it’s high time to find a hosting provider and place your website on the Internet.

I guess you have ever heard the word “server”. In simple terms, a server is a very powerful computer that keeps working 24 hours a day and stores a lot of information. Any information on the Internet is placed on one server or another and can be easily accessible from other devices such as desktop computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, etc.

In order to make your drop shipping website accessible to other people on the Internet, you need to buy some place on a server. This place is called hosting. A company that offers you a hosting is a hosting provider.

You can find a hosting provider on the Internet or use our services. AliDropship hosting solution guarantees high technical performance and provides you with 24/7 customer service and support.

Please note, before buying a hosting, make sure it meets the system requirements!

3. Install WordPress

When you have found a hosting provider and got a domain name, it’s time to build your website. For this purpose, you need to install WordPress on your hosting.

WordPress is software that allows you to build and manage your website without any knowledge about programming. WordPress is free and can be easily downloaded from the official website (WordPress.org).

You may ask: “Why should I set up WordPress, not another content management system?” The answer is simple, and you can find it right here. So, if you want to use the best solution for AliExpress drop shipping, setting up WordPress is a must.

As a rule, there are 2 ways to install WordPress – automatic and manual. And each of them doesn’t pose any serious problem. In our knowledge base, we have a detailed plan on how to install WordPress, so feel free to read it.

If you do everything right, your WordPress admin panel will look something like this.

4. Install AliDropship Plugin

Well, the hardest part is over. It’s high time to install AliDropship Plugin and start making money.

Go to your WP account, choose the Plugins tab, click the “add new” button, upload the plugin from your computer and install it.

My congratulations! Your plugin is installed successfully.

5. Activate your AliDropship license key

After installing the plugin, you have to activate it so that it could start working. For that purpose, you need your key license.

You can find the key in two places – on the Thank You page that you see right after purchasing AliDropship plugin or in the confirmation email that you can find in your e-mail account.

Copy the license key, paste it in the plugin settings and click the “Activate” button.

Well done! Your AliDropship Plugin is good to go.

Please note that the key license is unique and valid for one domain name only! So if you want to share it with your friends, it won’t do the trick.

Drop shipping for dummies: creative part

I hope you have successfully completed all these annoying technical things and are ready to demonstrate your creative potential.

Please note, if you still have some difficulties with any technical issues, visit our help center or contact our support team. They are always glad to help you.

6. Choose the theme for your store

A theme determines your website appearance. In other words, when you choose a theme, you choose the design of your website.

We offer you 4 beautiful themes that have great opportunities for customization. All themes are free and you can easily download them from our website.

We have put all the themes to the test and can safely say that each of them is perfect for customizing a drop shipping store. So choose the one that you like the most and download it.

After that, go to your WordPress panel, find the Appearance button and click Themes. In the opened window, find the Add new button, choose the downloaded theme and install it. Don’t forget to activate the chosen theme!

Let’s say, you’ve installed the Da Vinci theme. In this case, your store will look something like this. Now you need to make your website unique and memorable.

7. Customize your website

Before you get started your ecommerce business, you need to create the store design elements such as your own store logo, favicon, main page images and banners. You can do it on your own or with the help of professional designers. Of course, it is not necessary to appeal to the big design studios and pay them a lot of money! You can turn to freelancers to get it, for example.

After getting all the pictures, go to the customization section and change all the things related to your website appearance. Feel free to play around with colors and pictures to achieve the website design you like!

In addition, don’t forget to create product categories and menus. Think of your website structure carefully and evaluate whether it is easy to use or not. If you have some doubts, ask your family and friends to test your website, think over their opinions and make all the necessary changes.

Drop shipping for dummies: the financial side

A nice profit margin was your ultimate reason to start this business, right? Let’s figure out how to deal with the money-related issues!

8. Choose the currency

Now, it’s time to start configuring the AliDropship plugin settings. Let’s begin with choosing the currency.

Click the orange button at the top of the menu, select the settings tab and open the general section. Here you can choose your website currency.

The default currency is US dollars, but the plugin supports many other currencies as well. Choose the currency you need and activate it. In case you want to let your customers view your prices in different currencies, don’t forget to select the additional ones.

9. Set up your markup formula

The currency is selected, so it’s time to take care of setting prices so that ensure the best profit margin.

When you import products from AliExpress into your store, they are transferred with their original prices. In order to get profit, you need to determine pricing rules and set margins. AliDropship plugin has an effective system for that. You can create as many formulas as you need and set any kind of price you’d like.

However, we highly recommend you to get familiar with our pricing tips and follow them in the early stages of your business development.

Besides that, make a point of activating the rounding option. With this feature, such prices like $9.71 and $5.48 will be automatically changed to $10 and $5, respectively. In terms of buyers’ psychology and level of trust, it is a good decision.

10. Set up your payment gateways

After setting up the prices, you need to choose a payment gateway. In simple terms, a payment gateway is an online equivalent of a credit card terminal that one uses when buying goods at a brick and mortar store. AliDropship plugin supports many payment gateways, beginning with such giants as PayPal and ending with not very popular ones. Click the link and choose what you like the most.

Drop shipping for dummies: product pages

We’re getting close to the final! There are only 5 steps left! Let’s go!

11. Import products to your store

Now when almost everything is ready to start your ecommerce business, you have to fill your online store with goods.

To start importing products from AliExpress, you need to install AliDropship Google Chrome Extension. This tool allows you to import products in bulk, edit product descriptions and manage all the things related to delivery.

Once the extension is installed, click the AliExpress button and choose the Import products tab. Select the Use Direct Import button.

You will be redirected to AliExpress.com. Enter your search request in the search box and start selecting products with the lowest prices, free shipping option and the highest ratings – you can read more about the hunt for the perfect products here.

When the items are selected, you have 2 options of products import – single product import and bulk import.

If you need to import only one item, click the orange AliDropship logo near it. If the item is imported successfully, you will see a tick near the logo.

In case you need to import products in bulk, write the keywords in the search bar, select a category and click the import items button on the main panel. All the products will be imported into your Import list.

12. Edit your product pages

Every ecommerce entrepreneurs understand the importance of their product pages looking appealing to the customers.

There are 2 ways to edit product pages – you can do it before importing products or after that. Actually, it doesn’t make much difference.

First, edit your product titles and descriptions and make them more readable and compact. It’s recommended to delete all the images from your product descriptions in order not to look like a copy of AliExpress. In addition, don’t forget to edit your permalinks and remove everything you do not need!

Secondly, you need to make changes in the pictures of your products. For that purpose, use the built-in Image Editor. Delete all AliExpress logos in the picture, change the size, add your own labels, etc.

13. Import reviews to your store

The next step is importing reviews to your store directly from AliExpress.

Feedback is a powerful tool to build trust with your visitors and turn them into paying customers. Most of the conducted researches point out that feedback is very motivating and help people make decisions faster. Customers tend to trust each other more than any advertisement.

When importing reviews from AliExpress, you have many options – choose the number of reviews per product, add reviews only in your language, import reviews with images only, etc.

14. Set up shipping options

Decide on shipping methods your store will offer your clients. The plugin has a special section where you can enable or disable different shipping options and select the countries that you want to deliver to.

You can add up to four different shipping options such as free shipping, super savings shipping, standard shipping and expedited shipping. However, we highly recommend you to use free shipping options because it encourages customers to buy more or do it at all. A study found that 62% of all online consumers would not have bought products online if they had not received free shipping.

15. Set up SEO

Your drop shipping store is almost ready. The last point is your website promotion. We recommend you to use SEO tools available with AliDropship plugin.

SEO is a very important thing for ecommerce business because it allows you to drive more traffic to your website and improve your website performance. We have a great article about how to create a great SEO campaign, so feel free to use it.

That was the last point in our “Drop shipping for dummies” guide that allows you to create your drop shipping store from scratch. Of course, there is still much work to be done, but these steps are the basis.

As a bonus, we have prepared for you a set of questions from our support team that all beginners usually ask.

How To Start An Online Business With No Money Or Experience

starting a business with no money or experience

Tired of working for someone else? Want to have financial freedom? If you’re not a talented writer or artist, your only choice is self employment.

Today, thanks to the internet, almost anyone can create a small ecommerce business. Online stores are especially popular. But starting a business with no money or experience isn’t that easy.

So, what options do you have?

Types of eCommerce

There are lots of niches and types of business you could try including, but not limited to:

Software as a service (SaaS);
Mobile application development;
Affiliate marketing;
Infoproducts (ebooks, video courses, tutorials, etc.);
Dropshipping;
Traditional retail.

While many of these and other models can bring you some profit, they often have a number of drawbacks. From this point of view, traditional buy to sell model may seem to suit anybody. But it has some flaws, too.

Starting a traditional online retail business

This option is not recommended for those with little experience.

First, one needs to find an idea suiting their goals, experience and finances. The latter is your biggest problem. Those who have little savings can attract investments or apply for a loan in a bank.

But your business model must be really promising. Otherwise your requests will get rejected. Consequently, it requires a proper market analysis.

Another problem is the products you’re going to sell. The traditional online retail model suggests that before selling, the entrepreneur buys goods from a wholesaler, which means you need a starting budget. Furthermore, you’ll need to store these goods somewhere and deal with shipment issues.

In other words, venturing into the traditional ecommerce models carries a lot of risks.

Dropshipping business model and its advantages

If you’re starting a business with no money or experience, dropshipping model may be just what you want.

As an owner of a classic type of store, you first buy goods, then store them, and then sell to your end customers. But, if you own a dropshipping store, you first sell a product that you don’t physically own, then actually buy it from a wholesaler and arrange its shipment to the customer. And no storage is needed!

As the result, this model requires a low starting budget and no expenses on storage and transportation. Besides, you only buy goods after you get an order. So this model is perfect for starting an online business if you’re an amateur.

Today, many entrepreneurs dropship goods from popular online platforms such as eBay, Amazon or AliExpress. The latter, for a number of reasons, is the most common choice, so dropshipping stores based on AliExpress are quite typical.

Furthermore, there are digital solutions designed for working with wholesalers from AliExpress such as AliDropship plugin. It allows you to upload hundreds of products and customize other aspects of your online shop making your work easier and faster.

If you have no money, but have experience

When starting an online business, knowledge and experience may be much more valuable than money. Knowing how to use your resources is crucial for your success.

Step 1

The creation of a web store begins with buying a hosting and a domain name.

To run a website, you need a hosting service that provides space on a server and other benefits. People pay for this service once a year.

Choosing a domain name is a very important step in creating a dropshipping store: we have covered it in detail in this article.

Step 2

After that, you need to create a website designed as a store. The best way to do it is to use WordPress – a convenient system of website management that is hugely popular all over the globe.

Here you have two options:

Create a web store based on WordPress and use the standard AliDropship plugin
Create a web store based on WooCommerce and use the Woo version of the plugin

We have explained the differences between these plugin versions in this article, so don’t forget to check it out!

When the site is ready, all you have to do is to install the plugin, set the necessary payment processors and other services.

Step 3

Now your web store is technically ready, but has nothing to sell, so you need to upload a number of products from AliExpress you consider sufficient. Don’t forget to stick to the chosen niche and pay due attention to the reputation of wholesalers you work with.

Step 4

Now it is possible to buy products from your store, but there’s a problem. Nobody knows about it (except for your mom and dad probably). So now your job is to promote it. How?

There’s a variety of strategies and services you can use to let potential clients know about your store. Fill it with SEO-friendly texts, add descriptions to your products, promote the website in social media, etc. – you can find some ideas here.

If you have money, but no experience

If money isn’t the problem (unlike experience and knowledge), you can order a custom store. AliDropship team has professionals who will take care of each and every aspect of your future web store.

Don’t worry. You will not get something you didn’t expect. At every step, your personal manager will offer you various options and ask for your approval regarding the store’s name, theme, design, product categories, etc.

At the end of the process, you will get:

A niche of your choice or offered by the team.
A fully functional web store.
A domain and domain name.
Product categories.
A number of goods already uploaded to the store.

To put simply, it’s a turnkey business solution fully ready for operation.

If your budget is very limited, you can choose cheapest options as well as take advantage of additional and complementary bonuses. For example, a Basic Custom Store costs $299, and it’s fully functional. You can add DropshipMe plugin to your purchase and get another 50 products for your store for free.

If you have neither money nor experience

Starting a business with no money AND no experience is tough if possible at all. But don’t give up! There’s always a step towards your own web store you can take. While you still need a certain sum of money, you can cut down expenses.

First of all, you can buy AliDropship plugin separately and postpone the purchase of additional services or products. It will only cost you $89!

In this case, you can take your time and try to create a web store on your own. If you fail, it’s never too late to come back when you have enough money and order a custom store.

Another option is to try out AliDropship plugin on our DEMO site. Although you can’t actually sell products from it, you can get a hang of the plugin and how it works. You can also use the time you have before you save enough money to browse useful articles on AliDropship Blog or download and read our useful guides.

Now, you know more about the magic of starting an online business, and even starting a business with no money or experience doesn’t seem impossible to you any more!

It gives us the opportunity to tailor our solutions to the clients’ preferences. So, this is how we create the drop shipping software that meets the public’s expectations.

So, what are the defining features of our drop shipping software?

Low price

That’s a pretty much obvious point. For many people, drop shipping model is the only suitable option for starting an affordable eCommerce business. Naturally, they want to have the lowest startup costs possible. This is why they commonly prefer affordable solutions that don’t require massive investments.

Curious fact: for the affordable price of $89, we offer our customers the plugin that can turn a basic WordPress website into a fully functional drop shipping store. A number of FREE supporting promotion-oriented products is also available!

Extended functionality

Even a 0-cost drop shipping tool has no value for a user if doesn’t do much. Normally, drop shipping store owners expect that these solutions will help them with the daily business routine. This is why they pick the tools that can perform the basic drop shipping tasks automatically.

The range of these tasks is quite wide – actually, almost any procedure from niche research to social media promotion can be automated easily. It gives the entrepreneurs the opportunity to find more time for the work that includes the human factor – most importantly, the customer relations.

Did you know that? AliDropship plugin covers lots of drop shipping management issues, from searching & importing products to creating a unique and memorable in-store design. What is more, with the help of our add-ons, you can broaden the scale of your business operations even further.

Smooth operation

If a piece of drop shipping software slows your website down or works incorrectly, it’s obviously not a good choice. The same goes for tools that can only be installed on some specific types of websites. Surely, they limit you in your business choices.

Interesting fact: AliDropship plugin works on any WordPress-based website – even if it’s built with WooCommerce! There are differences between the original and the Woo-friendly versions of the plugin, but they are identical in their core. Both of them are aimed on turning your website into a user-friendly and moneymaking shopping destination, and they handle this job perfectly.

User-friendly interface

At the beginning of their drop shipping journeys, most of the newcomers don’t have the relevant experience, and aren’t well aware of the eCommerce world in general. Therefore, they need the intuitive solutions that are easy in daily use, and are understandable to the people of any professional background.

That’s curious: the already mentioned Pirn from Estonia, along with Alvaro from Chile and lots of our other clients, had a 0 experience in drop shipping at the moment of the AliDropship software purchase. Still, the lack of the knowledge hasn’t troubled these people’s user experience – they are happily working with AliDropship solutions and making pretty good money with them!

Easy to learn

When newcomers start to combine their 9 to 5 jobs with a drop shipping venture, they lack a vitally important resource: time.
