Dropshipping is an extremely popular business model for new entrepreneurs, especially Gen Xers and Millennials. It does not need a high financial capacity, cuts operational costs and saves your time. Therefore, you can concentrate on customer acquisitions, sparing stocking, or handling any items you are selling.  You can apply the dropshipping model on an e-commerce website where you sell products and purchase them from third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Then they will deal with orders. You can start it by following the steps.   1. Select a niche The selected niche should attract public attention and gain interest from you. If not, it would be difficult to open a market. You may easily feel discouraged because it will take a lot of works until successfully scaling a dropshipping business. Here are some points: Seek attractive profits. Select a niche with valuable products. Whether you sell a $20 item or a $1500 one, the required workload is essentially the same. All you need is to focus on marketing and customer acquisition when running your store. Low shipping costs. Find certain goods which are cheaper in shipping costs. CJ supports free shipping to your customers. It takes the cost as a marketing expense to generate further sales. It is convenient for you that your supplier or manufacturer handles the shipping of products. But it will discourage your customers if the shipping fees are too high. Impulse buyers with disposable income. When focusing on attracting attention to your website, you need to ensure that the selling products should catch their attention.  Keep active. Use Google's Keyword Planner and Trends to check some common search terms and make them related to your potential niche.  Create your brand. Your dropshipping business will be more valuable if you can rebrand them. You can brand your selected products with customized packages and brands. Sell special things. Pick up something your customers can't find down the street. That way, you will become more attractive to a potential customer. 2. Carry out competitor research Remember, you will compete with other drop shipping operators as well as retail giants, like Walmart and Amazon. There is a common misunderstanding that most look for a product with no competition. That means there is no demand for it. There are many reasons why a product might not have a lot of competition, like high shipping costs, bad suppliers, manufacturing issues, or poor profit margins. Look for products with competition. It shows there are high demands and the business model is sustainable. 3. Secure a supplier Partnering with the wrong suppliers can ruin your business. So please do not rush. Perform due diligence. Most dropshipping suppliers are overseas. So communication is extremely important in terms of response speed and mutual understanding. If you are not 100% confident with them, keep looking. People are using Aliexpress and eBay. But their dropshipping suppliers are experiencing a lot of troubles on the platforms. So most of them are changing to other platforms like CJ Dropshipping.  Try to learn from other entrepreneurs' paths in the past. There are plenty of information sources available, from business and tech blogs to this subreddit about dropshipping. It's a popular topic that can help you avoid costly supplier mistakes. 4. Build an e-commerce website The quickest way to launch a website is to use a simple e-commerce platform like Shopify and WooCommerce also available on Etsy, eBay, WED2C, etc. They support a dropshipping business model. You don't need a tech background to get up and running.  And you've got a lot of apps to help increase sales. If you have a very limited budget to start your business, you can try the websites which don't need any extra memberships or monthly fees, such as WED2C, which joined in cooperation with CJ presently. It also allows you to share products (including descriptions and images) to Facebook to sell without any extra fees. Even if you have a large budget that would allow you to hire a web design and development company to create a custom solution, it's much wiser to use one of the plug-and-play options, especially at the beginning. Once you are in the developing phase and the revenue starts coming in, you can then explore additional customization of the website. 5. Make a plan for customer acquisition Getting a great product and a website is fantastic. But you don't have a real company without customers wanting to buy. There are many ways to attract potential customers. However, starting a Facebook ad campaign is one of the most successful alternatives. This enables you to bring sales and revenue from the very beginning. And it can lead to rapid scaling. Facebook lets you bring your product directly before a highly targeted audience. This will give you the opportunity to instantly compete with the biggest brands and retailers. If you don't know how to start ad campaigns on Facebook, websites like WED2C can allow you to share products from them directly.  You do have to think long-term, and you can also concentrate on search engine optimization and email marketing. From the start, collect emails and set up automatic email sequences providing discounts and special offers. It is an easy way to leverage your existing base of customers and generate revenue without additional spending on advertising and marketing. 6. Analyze and optimize You need to track all the data and metrics available to grow your business. This includes traffic from Google Analytics and conversion pixel data from Facebook if that is your main channel for customer acquisition. By monitoring every single conversion — understanding where the customer came from and what direction they took on your website that finally led to a transaction — you can scale what works and remove what doesn't. Please constantly seek new opportunities and fine-tune current campaigns, allowing you to know when to spend the campaign optimizing or shifting it. Contact us

You may always encounter the word "Oversize" on the CJ platform and feel puzzled about this type of product and the high shipping fee it costs. The article will make everything clear regarding this type of product. The key points are listed as follows: 1. The concept of the oversized product; 2. Parameter differences among various shipping methods; 3. Oversized price.   1. What is an oversized product? Oversized products, also named light goods or measurement cargo, refer to large but lightweight packages. Then it comes to a question: what is the standard of large size and lightweight? Here involves two elements -- actual weight and volumetric weight. Actual weight is what the figure is shown on a scale. Basically, volumetric weight (KG) is generated by the formula: length* width* height (centimeter) / 6000. Note: Volumetric weight (Pounds) is generated by the formula length* width* height (inches) / 166. Here is a picture for you to understand.    If the volumetric weight of the item is heavier than the actual weight, then it belongs to the oversized product. If not, then it is a regular product (see Table 1). Table 1:  Volumetric weight > Actual weight  Oversized Products  Volumetric weight < Actual weight  Regular Products   Here is an example for you to understand. An item       Length: 60cm      Width: 60cm      Height: 30cm      Actual Weight: 0.6kg According to the formula: length* width* height (centimeter) / 6000, the volumetric weight is 60cm * 60cm * 30cm / 6000 = 18kg > 0.6kg (Actual Weight). Then the item belongs to the oversized product.    2. Parameter differences among various shipping methods; When it comes to specific shipping, however, the parameter, or the number 6,000, to calculate the volumetric weight varies. Some shipping methods apply the parameter 8,000 or 5,000 to get the volumetric weight. Some do not distinguish oversized products from other types. For more details, please look at Table 2. Table 2: Shipping Method Parameter Shipping Method Parameter CJ Packet 8,000 CJPacket MY Sensitive (Canada) 6,000 CJPacket Britain（0-3KG） 8,000 CJPacket JL Express (Malaysia) 6,000 CJPacket Britain（3-20KG） 6,000 CJPacket JL Express (Singapore) 6,000 CJPacket Canada 6,000 CJPacket YW Ordinary 8,000 CJPacket Spain 6,000 CJPacket YW Sensitive 8,000 CJPacket Saudi Arabia 6,000 CJPacket Euro Ordinary 8,000 CJPacket AE 6,000 CJPacket Euro Sensitive 8,000 CJPacket Thailand 6,000 China Post Registered Air Mail / USPS 6,000 CJPacket Liquid US 6000 DHL 5,000 CJPacket Liquid Line 6000 CJPacket Special line 6,000 CJPacket Liquid AU 6000 CJPacket Sensitive GB 6,000 PostNL / CJPacket Sensitive CA 6,000 Electric PostNL / CJPacket YDS US 8,000 Swiss Post / CJPacket YT Euro 8,000 Turkey Post / CJPacket YT US 8,000 ePacket Yiwu / CJPacket Fast Line 6,000     CJPacket MY Sensitive (EUB) 6,000       Note: "/" refers to shipping methods that do not distinguish oversized products from others. 3. Oversized price If you have an oversized package, then you may need to pay the oversized price. It means that the shipping fee is generated according to the volumetric weight instead of the actual weight. For the specific shipping fee of a product, please use our calculation tool to generate the available shipping methods, the costs, and the delivery time.  Contact Us

Many CJ customers prefer to attach packages to the products to make the items exquisite. However, they are stopped by the confusing operation of packaging connection on the CJ platform. To make things clear, the article presents a detailed introduction to the aspect.  Note: It is highly recommended that your ideal products should be connected with packages all at once as opposed to having them connected separately; that is, many times, as every of your operation will undo your previous attempt; that is, your previous setting will be overlapped. For instance, a gift card that has been connected in your first attempt will not follow when you add a box the next time. You'd have to connect both of them in your second attempt. Here are the major steps: 1. Learn about custom packaging; 2. Connect packaging in Products > Store Products; 3. Connect packaging in Products > My Products;   The general steps are as follows.  1. Learn about custom packaging; On this page, you will see:  a. Pre-Designed Packaging: all the packages that can be available for customers. b. Items with the sign : packages that can be designed or customized. c. Items without the sign : packages that do not support design function. d. My Custom Packaging: the packages that you have designed.  If you want custom packaging, you can click the sign to design, and the designed packages will show up in "My Custom Packaging."    2. For automatic orders, please connect packaging in Products > Store Products; Note:  Applied to Order: The package will be used for the order. It means that the package is for all the products of an order, not just the connected product.  Applied to Product: The package will be used for each connected product. It refers to that the package is only available to the product you connect instead of all products in an order. Let's make it clear. If you place an order with three products, including the product with the connected package, our warehouse staff will only attach the package to the connected product rather than all three products. In the case of bundle products, you may also choose between "Applied to Bundle" and "Applied to Each Product in the Bundle"     View connected packaging for each variant.    3. For manual orders or Excel orders, please connect the packaging in Products > My Products; The steps are the same as above. Please note that you need to add the product to My Products and connect the packaging before placing an order.    Feel free to contact us if you have doubts about the packaging connection.
