Starting from scratch, Shopify's 30-day store opening tutorial - Day 4

Last time we talked about what conditions a store needs to have in order to attract consumers to come into the store and buy. Now let’s talk about how to find products with high conversion rates.

The core of a successful store lies in the product. Once you find a hot-selling product, you can find more hot-selling products by following the same idea. Many Shopify sellers have achieved sales of more than seven figures by relying on a product with a high conversion rate.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that after reading this article, you can immediately become a million-dollar seller. Everything must be done step by step. Finding a product with a high conversion rate is the stepping stone to becoming a million-dollar seller.


Four steps to find high-converting products


1. Research your competitors and copy their best-selling products


First, we need to understand which products are selling well on Shopify, which is actually investigating your competitors. Find a Shopify store that you think is good, and then enter this line of code after the URL of this store: /collections/all?sort_by=best-selling. Magically, the data of the best-selling products of this store will appear in front of you.

With this code, you can understand the best-selling products of all competitor stores, and then filter out 15 products based on these best-selling product data and put them on your own store for sales testing.


2. Find the best-selling products on AliExpress


Everyone should be familiar with AliExpress, a cross-border e-commerce platform under Alibaba. Many foreign sellers rely on AliExpress to do e-commerce dropshipping. It is also a product trend vane in the cross-border e-commerce industry. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the hot-selling products on this platform as a candidate for the 15 test products of the store.

Ways to find AliExpress hot-selling products:

Go to https://www.aliexpress.com/popular.html

All categories are listed. Click on one of the categories to see the best-selling products in that category.


3. Leverage Facebook’s search data


The success of Shopify stores is inseparable from Facebook, and we will frequently mention this social media platform in the following articles.

In today's article, we will mainly introduce how to use Facebook to find hot-selling products:

  • Log in to Facebook and type “50% Off Free Shipping” in the search box

  • Then click Posts

  • Time Select the month

The main purpose of implementing this step is to find products with a large number of reposts and likes.

Click on a highly shared article in the search results to find out what product it is promoting.

The same thing can be done with the Video class:

  • Log in to Facebook and type “50% Off Free Shipping”

  • Click on Videos

  • Time Select the month

Then check the videos with the most shares. It is recommended to learn about the products that are released earlier, because hot-selling products have a certain timeliness, and other sellers of products that are released too early are likely to have taken the lead and the market is saturated.


4. Use plugins


Plugins are another way to find high-converting products. Here is a Chrome plugin, Commerce Inspector Extension, which can be installed to see real-time sales data of the store, including when the product goes on sale.

Once you have found 15 test products using the above method, you can run a Facebook ad for each product to understand the conversion performance of each product.
