Successful Dropshipping Online Store That Makes $11,000 A Month

By Timur Y.

Dropshipping online store devoted to fitness and sports

Are you thinking about starting a dropshipping online store? Then how about purchasing a copy of a fully functional ecommerce website?

Along with other products, the AliDropship company offers Premium Dropshipping Stores – copies of our own websites which are already running and making money. In this article, I am going to show you one of these stores.

Presenting Pure Champs! This dropshipping online store sells sports and outdoor activity supplies, and there’s a reason why we chose this niche.

Why sporting goods?

In ecommerce, entrepreneurs pay a lot of attention to the design of a site, its loading speed, the quality of photos, etc. Of course, these things are important for attracting customers, but often it is the content of a site that plays the major role.

Just like in other types of business, the choice of niche can either give you a head start or ruin your plans at the very beginning. For this Premium Store, our team chose sports as its niche because right now this kind of goods is in high demand.

Evidence #1

When governments around the world instituted the quarantine, people had to stay home. But after about a month, many of them noticed they had gained weight. So, they started googling about how to exercise at home:

Now that in some countries people are once again allowed to visit parks, the interest for outdoor activities has risen as well:

Evidence #2

In other words, consumers are now yearning for physical activities. For example, this is how the demand for skateboards has changed over the last five years:

Think about it: in April and May, the number of search queries was higher than any pike during the last five years! And one can see a similar picture when analyzing other requests related to sporting goods:

Evidence #3

The team also used AdSpy to check how popular sporting goods are on Facebook and Instagram. The three ads below were created by other dropshipping online stores between January 1 and August 1 of 2020. And they all gathered over 10.000 likes.

Our team often uses this method to find hot dropshipping product ideas.

Inventory

Pure Champs has 7 product categories.

  1. Fitness equipment contains sporting goods that can be used both outdoors and indoors, mostly for exercising and yoga. Such goods can be extremely popular among certain people who got stuck home because of the quarantine.
  2. Cycling includes a variety of goods designed for cycling such as clothing, helmets, glasses, gloves, etc.
  3. Surfing and diving products can be extremely popular among people living at the ocean.
  4. Swimming products are a good alternative for those who prefer more relaxed holidays.
  5. Another product category is devoted to sports bags that can be useful not only when you go to the gym but also when you travel or spend time outdoors.
  6. Sports clothing is a standard category for dropshipping online stores in this niche. It includes 30+ models for both men and women.
  7. Sport socks and Insoles are placed in a stand-alone product category.

As of now, this ecommerce store contains 109 sporting products in total, which makes a good start for a newbie. Some of these products are doing quite well. Here are three examples of successful campaigns that were running on Facebook and Instagram not long ago:

What you get by purchasing a copy of this store

Fully functioning dropshipping business

When you start dropshipping from scratch, it takes a lot of time and effort to build the store, import products, edit product pages, create ads, etc. Only after a lot of work and inevitable mistakes will you get your first sales.

But when purchasing this Premium Store, you get a fully functioning ecommerce business that can be launched almost immediately. Although it’s just a copy, its niche is mostly oriented towards wide audiences, which makes it easier to compete with other businesses.

Speaking of which, you have a unique opportunity to purchase a copy of a store that is already making more than $2,000,000 a year! Interestingly enough, this store was made by two moms who worked on it during the pandemic. Completely unfamiliar with the niche, they created a store that boasts incredible numbers! What’s there stopping you from achieving the same results?

You can’t expect people to buy just anything in your store. In order to build a successful business, one needs to offer high-demand products. That’s why many store owners spend days trying to find proper dropshipping products.

And so does our team, except we also share these goods with our customers. Along with a copy of Pure Champs, you also get its full inventory with trending goods, properly designed product pages, high-quality photos and GIFs (when available), etc.

In other words, you don’t have to build your inventory from scratch. Instead, you can use the current inventory to get started and add more new products later to keep developing your new business.

Marketing materials

Promotion is another important part of online retail. You can’t sell products unless people know about them, right? Unfortunately, in most cases, one has to test ads and advertising campaigns to find the most efficient ones, which costs a lot of money.

If you don’t want to take this risk, you can order the Marketing package along with your Premium Store. It includes banners and videos our team uses for the original advertising campaigns as well as ad texts and target audience descriptions.

So, if you want to launch a dropshipping online store, it’s a good idea to purchase a copy of Pure Champs or any other Premium Store from AliDropship.

what is the average shipping time now from china to EU and US? Is epacket shipping back? Also is it enough to use only paypal as your payment processor?

Timur Y. 4 years ago

Hello, John.

ePacket is back. Shipping to the US takes about 3 weeks now. As for Europe, it depends on what country you’re interested in. On average it takes about 20-40 days, but delivery to France for example takes only a couple of weeks. For destinations that take longer, try looking for suppliers who own warehouses in those countries or neighboring states. As for payment gateways, the more options you offer the better. We recommend at least adding Stripe to your gateways.
