+Previously, I used to recommend the Shopify Aliexpress Dropshipping app, “Oberlo.” However, on June 14th 2022, Oberlo merged with a bigger & better dropshipping app, DSer, which is why I like to call it “Oberlo 2.0.” You can download the free DSer Dropshipping App here: https://apps.shopify.com/dsers
+
+DSer works very similarly to Oberlo, but it has some additional extra features. It is also officially supported by Aliexpress!
+
+If you have been using Oberlo, and would like to migrate seamlessly to this new & better app, you can follow the easy 30-second migration process here: https://help.dsers.com/migrate-data-from-oberlo-for-shopify/
+
+
+** steps
+In this step, we’ll be adding a very important and free app to our store – DSers App.
+
+DSers App is going to let us do two very important things in our store:
+
+It’s going to simplify the process of adding items to our store
+It’s going to help us automate the fulfilment process.
+DSers App is a key element to our dropshipping store.
+
+Let’s start!
+
+In addition to installing the app, we’re also going to update the settings so that it is ready to use in our new store. Here’s how:
+
+1. On your homepage, click on ‘Apps’.

+
+** intro
+
+In this tutorial, I’m going to be adding 2 different products to my store.
+
+I’m going to be adding a self stirring mug, and then I’m going to be adding in a camera lens travel mug.  I’ve chosen both of these products, because both of them are very different to add.
+
+And that’s because one has product variations, the other does not. The self stirring mug you’ll see comes in multiple variations because it comes in lots of colors.
+
+But that isn’t the only product variation you’ll see on product listings when you are adding Aliexpress products into your store. For example, you might open up a product listing that says it features animal coffee coasters, and find different coasters listed for different animals. Each of these different designs count as different variations.
+
+And then sometimes, like these travel coffee flasks, they will come in different sizes. Each of these different sizes counts as a variation. But as I said: the camera lens travel mug we are going to add, does not come in different product variations.
+
+No: it comes in just one variation – this black mug. There are no others. And so adding that to our store is going to be very different than adding the self stirring mug, so I will show you how to do both.
+
+There is something else I want to say too. This video is going to show you how to source products that are dropshipped out of China.
+
+However: these days, I prefer and recommend that people keep product sourcing as local as possible. And so in the next video in The Ecomm Clubhouse, I will show how to add products that you can dropship out of the USA.
+
+I prefer that for multiple reasons. For one thing, the shipping is much quicker than it is if you are dropshipping from China.
+
+The second reason is that because the products are stored locally in the USA, you know that even if there are issues with planes flying and international shipping being delayed, your customers will get their products.
+
+I like to keep my product sourcing as local as possible, which is why I usually recommend people dropship from the USA, which we will discuss in the next video tutorial.
+
+However, I understand that most of my viewers dropshipping prefer to dropship out of China, because it is cheaper & there is a bigger selection of products.
+
+
+** steps
+
+Let’s start!
+
+1. Start out on Aliexpress, type in the name of the item you want to sell in your store, and click search.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800px

+3. Then click on Orders. Go through the results page and find the supplier or the item that you want to use. When you find it, click on the listing.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800px

+
+11. Now go to the DSers App window. Click ‘Import List’. As you can see, the products that I’ve added are here on my import list. For the first product, click this edit icon.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800px

+
+12. There are two parts of the product that we are going to modify on the import list page – *variants and images*. Start out by clicking the *Variants* tab. On this tab, we can remove the white variant of the product we’re selling by deleting it from the list.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800px

+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_10/3.5.15.png
+
+16.  Let’s remove all variants that do not say’ Self-stirring Mug’ on the design by deleting them from the list. We can also delete all variants in colors we do not want to sell in our store.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800px
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_10/3.5.16.png
+
+
+17.  Next, I’m going to select the *Images* tab to select which images I want to use.

+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800px
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_10/3.5.20.png

 * Description
+Hey everyone. So, in this video, I am going to show you how to dropship products from Aliexpress that are being fulfilled within the USA.
+
+Because you see, while all Aliexpress suppliers have their factories based in China, some of them store their products around the world, including the USA.
+
+And so what we’re going to do is look for products where the supplier has a fulfillment factory in the USA, so that we can dropship products directly from that.
+
+That means our products are going to be shipped locally within the USA, using a USA shipping method, such as USPS shipping.
+
+Not only does this mean our customers will get their products faster, but it is also a more reliable way to dropship.
+
+For example, during covid-19, a lot of planes stopped flying between China & the USA. And so shipping times between the countries became unreliable.
+
+And so it was the dropshippers that had invested their time into finding suppliers with USA centers that were able to ride out that period of time and keep sending their customers orders.
+
+The more local your supplier is, the more reliable it is for you to get products to customers, even when world events interrupt international shipping, which is why I recommend people use USA based dropshippers.
+
+And, luckily, finding these USA dropshippers is really simple and only requires a few tweaks. So, I’m going to show you how to do this now, by looking for a super viral, hot product right now – vinyl coffee coasters!
+
+** steps
+
+1. Start out on Aliexpress, and type in the name of the item you want to sell in your store and click Search.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800

+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_11/3.6.3.png
+
+

+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_11/3.6.4.png
+
+

+
+

+
+    Start out by clicking the Variants tab. On this tab, we can remove any variants of the product we’re selling.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_11/3.6.7.png
+
+
+8. Let’s remove all variants that are not shipped from the USA by deleting them from the list.
+
+   Let’s also remove all variants that do not have the 6 pcs vinyl coaster set.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_11/3.6.8.png
+
+
+9. Next, I’m going to select the Images tab to select which images I want to use.
+
+   The images to be imported have a checkmark in the upper left corner. Go through the images and select and deselect the images you want and do not want. Once you’ve done that, click ‘Save’.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800
+   file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_11/3.6.9.png
+
+
+10. Now you’ve modified your product, it’s time to add it to your store. Next to the product would be an empty checkbox. Click it. Once you’ve done that, click Push to Shopify.
+
+   #+attr_html: :width 800

+** intro
+In this step, we are going to update the product pages for all the items you have added. We are going to update the following:
+
+- Product titles
+- Product descriptions
+- Prices
+- And more!
+
+Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter how you’ve added your items. Maybe you’ve chosen Aliexpress items that you’ve added with Oberlo or maybe you’ve chosen a print on demand item that you’ve added through Shopify app Printify. We re going to edit them all the same.
+
+** updating
+
+*** what we are going to update
+
+**** black camera travel mug
+We are going to update two types of products. First, we are going to edit a product with no variations like this Camera Travel Lens Mug.
+
+#+attr_html: :width 800
+file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_12/Camera-lens-1.png
+
+This is an Aliexpress product and it came with one single variation. Just one black camera travel mug.
+
+**** self stir mug
+I’m also going to show how to update products with multiple variations by updating the product page of this product I’ve added – the Self Stir Mug. This product have multiple variations because it comes in different colors.
+
+#+attr_html: :width 800
+file:../../_share/media/img/step_03/lesson_12/Self-Stir.png
+
+*** general pointers
+**** one variation vs. multiple variations
+
+Updating the product price for a product with one variation is very different with updating the price for a product with multiple variation.
+
+**** when updating product pages
+
+There are a few things to keep in mind while updating the product pages:
+
+1. Use emotions when writing product descriptions and titles. We don’t sell product features, we’re selling emotions. Try to use words to incite emotions from your customers.
+2. If dropshipping you can find reviews on Aliexpress and Amazon. I include reviews that I either found in Amazon or Aliexpress.
+3. For paid ad traffic, you only need a short copy
+4. Include a disclaimer about shipping times. If you’re dropshipping from Aliexpress, then you should be choosing ePacket as your shipping option. It’s going to take 2 to 4 weeks for your item to arrive so include this in your product pages. I highly recommend that you bold this so that your customers sees it.
+5. If you have a sizing table, keep it. If you’ve added a print on demand product to your store and it comes with a sizing table, I highly recommend that you keep it.
+
+** editing a single product page
+
+Now, I’m going to show how easy it is to edit the product pages.
+
+*** choose product
+
+1. Go to your Shopify dashboard and click products.

+
+   As you can see, it’s a short description – only 5 lines. Write the product description like this: Use a short hook in the first couple of lines. I include scarcity in this copy by saying it has limited quantity and it isn’t available in store – which is true. It is only sold online. And note that I am bolding my shipping disclaimer.

+Let’s edit the title first. Next, add a custom description. This one is a bit longer than the first one, being six lines but still very short. I used the Amazon listing to help me write this description. I’ve included scarcity and again…I’ve included a shipping disclaimer.
