Oberlo is a game changer. The company has changed everything since it first started in 2015, and the company’s rapid success led to 85 million products being sold. That’s in just two years of being open.
Wouldn’t you like to get in on the Oberlo craze?
Hell yeah!
The company allows you to import products into your ecommerce store, sell them and make a commission. This is the world of dropshipping. You never have to worry about:
- Inventory
- Customer service
You just sell the products. It’s a lot like selling items off of Amazon as an affiliate. You generate leads, sales and get paid. It’s a huge business, and Oberlo helps you get up and running with your own store quickly.
It’s a great business opportunity for anyone that is business-minded.
Oberlo Features
Oberlo is smart. The company makes it so easy to import products that the company was destined for success. The company’s features tell an entire story of their own:
- Import. Products can be imported directly into your ecommerce store using the company’s app. You can start selling directly to your customers in seconds.
- Fulfill. You will have a list of your customer orders on the dashboard. Just click “order product,” and click on the confirm button. The fulfillment is handled completely on Oberlo’s end. You never need to ship a package again.
That’s really all you need to do to start selling products. But Oberlo is a beast, and they offer a lot of other features that are sure to pique your interest. First and foremost, all inventory and prices are updated automatically.
And then from here, the service offers a lot of other features that work in the background to ensure that your customers receive the best products while you profit in the end. These features include:
- Product customization
- Pricing automation
- Shipment tracking
- Track your sales
- Change suppliers
- Connect existing products
- Create wish lists
- Create multiple user accounts
- Filter products for only the fastest delivery times
So, what’s the catch? You can only use Oberlo via Shopify’s platform. It’s really not a big deal, and you’ll be able to get started quickly.
Quick Shopify Setup
Shopify powers a lot of stores, and it’s simple to setup. I will give some pointers below how to tie this into your current setup if you have a website, but first, let’s figure out how this whole thing works.
Shopify requires you to make an account, so you’ll want to go to their main page and click “get started.”
I recommend the 14-day trial. You’ll need to enter in a lot of the basics about yourself, including a username and password for your account.
Once you’ve done this, it’s time to optimize your account. You want to receive money from customers, so you’ll need to add a payment option to your account. You’ll want to follow these steps:
- Enter the “settings’ page
- Click “payments”
- Add payment information
I recommend adding a Paypal account because everyone uses Paypal. After this, you’ll want to click on the “checkout” tab and then enter in your store policies. What’s awesome is that Shopify provides a button you can click to generate policies in seconds.
Now, find the shipping tab and choose your shipping rates. You can set the shipping to be free, and this is what a lot of people do. Consumers expect free shipping, so make sure that you charge more for your product to account for shipping costs.
Finally, you’ll be on your way to launching your store.
Click “Sales Channels” in your settings tab and you can then click “add an online store.” Your store will now be up and running, so what do you do now? I recommend designing your store and making sure it looks professional.
This is up to you, so take your time and make your store look professional.
No one wants to buy from a store that looks like crap.
Link Oberlo to Your Store
Oberlo should now be added to your store. This is easy to do, and all you need to do is install the Oberlo app off of your Shopify store. This is a simple process, and it will take just seconds to get started.
Once installed, you’ll want to create a category.
I’ll choose grooming products.
Enter your Oberlo app, search for products and add them into your new category.
Bam. You have an online store up and running with real products that you’re now selling to the world.
Promoting Your New Store and Making Sales
You have countless options when trying to promote your products and make a sale. I recommend using any outlet that you have at your disposal to make your first sale. Making money becomes an addiction – trust me.
If you have a website, make a link on your menu promoting the items that you sell.
You also have the option to sell your products through:
- Paid advertising
- Social media
- Organic search traffic
If you follow the steps above and don’t play around, you’ll be able to get a store up and running in 30 minutes. The hard part is making sales, and this means networking, promoting through paid advertising and using your website to lure in leads.
Remember, you make a commission on all sales – it’s purely listed when adding your product – so, there is a lot of money to be made. You just need to hustle to make a few sales and start your path to the addiction of making money.
