Anton shares the #1 secret for building a profitable drop ship store.

Many beginners think the biggest secret is picking the right niche, being really good at paid ads, or just getting lucky…

All of these things are important…

But they’re not the biggest secret.

The biggest secret is to ALWAYS FOCUS ON HAVING HAPPY CUSTOMERS.

This is how you build a dropshipping business that provides real value to your customers and to your bank account.

But happy customers alone will not lead to you having a profitable drop ship store.

Instead, you want to “zoom out” and use “happy customers” as a part of your decision-making framework.  From there, what you need to do will become clear.

In today’s episode, Anton shares how this applies to product selection, shipping, and support.

If you’re looking to track your inventory when dropshipping on Shopify, then this episode is for you.

I share two methods for accomplishing this goal.

Method #1)

This free method involves manually updating the inventory section of your Shopify product page(s).  This method is effective but it can take a lot of time to update your inventory if you sell lots of different SKUs from lots of different suppliers.

If manually updating your inventory becomes too time-consuming, you may want to check out the second option….

Method #2)

This paid method involves using a Shopify App for updating inventory. The app I recommend is called Stock Sync and it can be found in the Shopify App Store.  This app can connect directly with your suppliers' inventory and it can be a huge time saver if you find yourself with many out-of-stock products that are too hard to track manually.
