eBay Facebook Marketplace people are going to make thousands of dollars Drop Shipping on these marketplaces in quarter four and if you've never sold during Q4 you may feel like you're not prepared or afraid that you're gonna miss out on this huge opportunity so in this video I'm going to call some professional drop shippers and experts to teach you how to prepare for Q4 Patrick man how you doing good how's it going Paul hey what's up Nahar Daniel what's up man thanks for jumping on the call good I need some help from you so what first of all of all it's better now we match so that's first of all second of all got a question for you if you don't mind a lot of people want to know people at home they want some tips for quarter for tips for quarter four what can you tell people to help them prepare and get ready for quarter four how they can prepare for quarter four I know you have some great advice for people can you give the people some gold here so I said I'll reach out to some of my Drop Shipping friends can you give the people some help how they can get ready for quarter four and what they need to know about it great question definitely yes so I have prepared something special I would say for me for example the biggest problem with dropshipping general not this doesn't even apply to Q4 but it's gonna apply for General dropshipping but especially during Q4 where you have it's a short period of time right so you want to use it as much as you can and you want to maximize your potential profits so for me I tried to list specific numbers of listing a day when you're new you can probably do like 10 a day or something if you are a bit more advanced you can do like 20 50 I don't know whatever your number is and I have this like a accountability spreadsheet that I use so this spreadsheet allows me to track how many things I listed a day and that way I can stay accountable that you know I listed those listing actually and I can share this with my VA too and I can tell them hey can you guys whenever you post that many listings can you mark it so I know you've done your job so the first thing I want to say is something that I didn't do in the past and this is just getting help right and hiring you know whether it's va's if you can right because not everybody you know can hire va's or multiple va's in the beginning but if you can I highly recommend that you do and if for those that may not be able to hire one right now because you're just starting out just make it a family affair you know ask your spouse your brother your sister anyone that can help you to get more hands on deck when it comes to Q4 is really going to go a long way the other thing that has also you know bit me in the past has been you know not bringing prepared when items go out of stock what I recommend here is that you want to be able to Source Products but you can find them across like different suppliers so don't pitch and hold yourself let's say you found something that's really doing amazing but you could only find it on Amazon so the moment that goes out of stock then it's going to be an issue so you want to find products that you can find on Amazon eBay Walmart other you know maybe more obscure websites if it's something that you're you know you're doing that is not one of the traditional ones but you want to find good backups so that you know you kind of minimize the risk of going out of stock and having to cancel orders first of all you have to be ready in terms of logistics now of course we are Drop Shipping and we're not holding an inventory but there are other risks involved with Logistics when we're Drop Shipping and it's actually with our suppliers because throughout the Q4 there is higher volume of sales there is more items go out of stock and we have to be ready for it we should use repricer they reprice it can monitor all the items as fast as possible base I also suggest to use automated ordering or just instead of processing order once a day you process orders three times or even four times per day and you do it because you just don't want to take the risk that you sold an item and then few hours later there is no more stop Q4 is a crazy time anyone who's in adopting business knows that during Q4 it's super hectic and you're gonna see order volume like never seen before my best advice during this crazy time is to just be prepared for the high levels of Border volume so that means you're going to see a lot of customers messaging you asking you where's your package can I return this can I exchange this so you need to provide really high levels of customer service during this time just like you know with retail I mean you're going to see a lot of angry customers and unfortunately that's you know part of the business that we're in during the time always keep your cell mattress up you know that includes making sure you have tracking for everything make sure you're responding to customers on time not shooting items late I know that can be hard because you're going to have some retailers that you dropped it from who are going to ship items late so you need to make sure you're telling your customers that hey we have some shipment delays and hopefully they'll be willing to wait and be patient with you the third thing I would recommend would be to get some kind of third-party provider that can provide you with tracking information because what happens sometimes is during this very holiday seasons tracking information might get delayed from your supplier so you might not get tracking numbers as quickly as you're used to so a service provider

like track Taco which is the one that I use can be very helpful and actually it's very cheap you can get you know hundreds of tracking numbers for just a few dollars so it's a very you know good investment and you know something I would really encourage you to do you know there are all these holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving and specific Parts you can sell through this time if you're shipping from local suppliers you can sell the products you know till a week before even five days before the holiday if you'll be walking with Chinese suppliers shipping internationally long time shippings then you need to take in consideration that selling Halloween products a week before can cause problems because your customers will not receive the product on time so two things you can do about it first of all you can update your description your policies you know you can add like manually into the description that because it's holidays there may be delays there may be things you know maybe there may be some issues and you will let your customers know and one of the second things you can start and list products already from now to all those holidays include Christmas it's more broad because anything can be gift right so what I suggest you to do is to you know try to be creative and think okay which gifts you would like to receive what your friends or family like to receive and try to go on through the unusual niches why because if you go to sell like Christmas decoration everyone try to sell it prices are very low you can still sell it and it can still work but this is not where you will find high profit margins but now Tikka for instead you know like people who like Nautica there's those niches like their people likes animals there are people likes Nautica all these different things sometimes even weird things this is what you can find profit because the supply on eBay is not high I can say that one of my profitable niches were the Nautica all these like boats equipment or even just these wooden boats or all these clocks you know wall watch wall clock where you have all these like Signs and all these things from the sailing and all of it and I made a lot of profit on it because I could bring so much private labels from Walmart Amazon and all these suppliers into eBay and Facebook Marketplace and there was not too many people offering this product on eBay so you know go wide try different things and you will see what works and once you see something start to walk through and this is actually a third tip I had on top of it scale it so what happened to me with the Nautica I listed two products it worked well I went it back to my suppliers I brought another 20 30 product from the same Niche because this way you use the data of one title of one successful product and you duplicate it into a more similar products or more Niche products and you increase your profit it's also give you by the way the flexibility to sell products for higher profit because you're bringing something new and you don't need to be cheaper than competitor that not exist decorations and toys are always a good category for me at least Christmas is around corners the toys are super popular we have Halloween and obviously Christmas as well for decorations so you know definitely try to list more in those categories because you will see it uptick in sales so that's about it and the last thing I would say about this to get you ready for Q4 would be to double down on your customer service because it's going to go a long way communicate with the customer you know message them after the sale to make sure everything is all right double check if they provided the right address because sometimes you know it's a busy season you know people are distracted maybe they give you the wrong address just those little things can go a long way and you having a very successful Q4 this year so that's what will be my recommendations this is the template and Paul agreed to share the link to this template and it's free there's nothing no email option nothing attached to it you can use it you can do whatever you want with it the idea here is that you know let's say this is a day one maybe let me go to a fresh spreadsheet so let's say this is the day one right of my goal and I want to list at least five listings a day I'm gonna mark it okay on day two I Mark another five listings but maybe you want to increase that to 10 so you can just Market that day with the channel listings you can set up custom goals so let's say if you want to add a custom goal you can just add another Tab and then say list 50 products okay and every day you list these products you just mark it and that way at the bottom it shows you your percentage achieved how much you achieved of your goal it looks nice at the end of the month that where you compare the spreadsheet and you cheat you can see wow I actually completed 100 of my goal my biggest tip for Q4 list consistently because that's gonna be a big factor it's gonna help you get more views more sales and this spreadsheet it's like a easy fix to track your listing habits so it helps me and I'm sure it's gonna help some other people it's gonna mean that you're busy but I mean it is such a huge opportunity you can't pass it up right no and this is really what I've always made most of my money has been these last three months as an opportunity that just comes around once a year so if you can execute it and you can get it right you can be in a much better position than other drop shippers who might fumble it but you'll be prepared and you'll reap the benefits absolutely couldn't agree more thanks Daniel appreciate it hey man anytime
