drop shipping has officially split into two lanes in one lane is the sellers probably you merging into the neverending loop of chasing random products testing ads with zero engagement and pouring so much time and money into products that never even take off then there's the other lane sellers who have fully adapted to what drop shipping actually is today they're using AI to research build ads and scale faster than ever before hitting 5K 10K and even 100K months not because they're lucky or have more experience but because they've evolved with the game that drop shipping has become.
- Validate products using AI and TikTok's algorithm to identify trending items.
- Leverage AI tools to create multiple ad variations quickly and efficiently.
- Build a trustworthy and modern online store using AI store builders.
1. Validating Your Products
TikTok is a powerful platform for finding trending products.
2. Finding the Ads That Already Work
so first off is there proof of engagement you need to be looking for products that are appearing across multiple creators with consistent views likes and comments repetition is the algorithm telling you that demand exists and you need to listen to the algorithm second is does it solve a problem or spark desire products that address a painoint make life easier or drive an emotion will always convert better than something random and third and lastly is it scalable you want to always make sure that the products appeal to a broad audience as you don't want one-off trends that can't sustain a business so by using this framework you'll know exactly which products to test and why they're likely to perform well which is why 2026 can easily become your best year in drop shipping and don't worry we will be getting to what you can actually do with those three to five products in the final step where everything we're talking about will tie together and you're finally merging into that winning lane but remember this is a road map where right now you are one step closer to switching lanes for good but you can't reach that final destination without fueling up throughout these next two steps so here's what I want you to think about why is it that two people can sell the exact same product but only one can actually make money well step two is where we find that answer by finding the ads that already work and using them to fuel your own and listen here's the best part right now is that you've already started and when you were scrolling Tik Tok to validate products you were also collecting ad angles without even realizing it so all those videos that you're seeing that keep showing up those are your examples of what the algorithm is rewarding right now and your goal now is to find three to five different angles for each product look every single product has multiple types of buyers and each one cares about something completely different for example let's say that you're selling a portable blender you've got health focused buyers students people who love to travel and each one of these need a different emotion behind the ad where health focused buyers might want something that makes their meal preps easier and less messy students want something that they can use on the go where travelers want something small reliable and easy to throw in a bag so each one of these audiences and their emotions it gives you a new way to position the same product then once you've got those examples you can use AI tools like Invido to then turn those ideas into fresh ad variations where you can change the script the pacing the voice over even the visuals all in minutes without any editing skills or background whatsoever so the goal here is output it's just plain and simple you want enough clean variations that you never run out of ads you never run out of angles and you can pivot instantly the second something stops working where you need to understand that the goal right from the start it's not about making the perfect ad right now actually perfection is the enemy of progress what really matters is getting ads out there fast testing them and figuring out which ones actually have the power to scale i want you to think of it like throwing a few lines into a pond you see which ones catch and then you just double down on what works now when we're talking about your ads in 2026 there are a few game-changing shifts that you need to be aware of things that make this year completely different from 2025 first those opening 3 seconds of your ad they are everything to your success we all know attention spans have never been shorter so if you don't grab someone's attention immediately you have already lost them as a potential consumer so the goal here is you have to hook them before they even know what is happening second is you have to make your ads feel less like ads so stop selling features and start selling emotion tell a story show a result make someone feel something real emotion is what drives action faster than anything else ever will but the biggest thing for 2026 is that AI isn't just a tool anymore it's like having a creative team that never sleeps where you can bring almost any idea to life test it instantly and see what resonates you don't have to just copy ad formats from 2025 anymore you can use tools that create hooks edits and unforgettable moments that make your brand stand out and when you start producing at that level of volume and clarity that's when the data starts really speaking to you so the more options and angles that you get under each product the better.

3. Building a Store That Feels Clean, Modern and Believable
All right so now that you got your products validated and your ad angles are cooking it is time to build a foundation that everything sits on because look in 2026 buyers decide in seconds whether they trust you or they don't and this is where step three changes everything this is where we build a store that feels clean modern and believable without you needing design skills a developer or weeks of trial and error and I'm going to show you the exact shortcut that I've been using all year long all right so first off all you need to do is click the link down in my description below and that's going to take you straight to this free AI store builder once you're here go ahead and hit build my free store and then you're going to land on this screen right here now just go ahead and enter your first name email and password click next now what you're going to do is just go ahead and choose your niche as you can see there's fashion pets electronics home sports or if you really don't know yet you can just go ahead and click I'm not sure and if you click that I'm not sure it will still build you a fully customized store using one of these categories and honestly it really doesn't even matter which one you pick right now because when it comes to picking your niche this isn't something you have to lock in right away the real decision gets made once we complete the final step and you'll see exactly why when we get there so I'm just going to go and choose fashion and apparel hit done and then now it's just a few quick set of questions and then builder is going to start generating your store instantly so why is this step three well because right now you're building the customer experience that makes everything that you did in step one and step two worth it a clean store clear branding a fast setup this is what makes a beginner feel like they've been doing this for years and when you put this type of structure behind your ads you're going to stop hoping something works and you'll start stacking real results because the truth is a strong store doesn't just look better it converts higher it gives the algorithm more confidence it makes your customers trust you it even removes friction before the sale ever even happens and when you combine all of that you're no longer guessing you are officially building.
4. Finding a Supplier That Actually Works
and now heading to step four this is the part that nobody wants to talk about but it's the difference between a store that scales and a store that collapses the second things get good so let's go ahead and jump right into it here's the thing about suppliers in 2026 and I already gave you my solution but if you decide to go out there and you look on your own then I need you to listen closely if you want to not just survive but thrive this year you need a supplier that actually works for you and not against you so first off think warehouses tariffs are always shifting and if your supplier doesn't have options in the US you could get stuck paying way more or waiting way longer than your customers expect this is why you need flexibility and you need control second make sure that they have the product in stock you might not realize this but a lot of suppliers in 2025 were basically drop shipping your drop shipping products that's why shipping times were coming out to like 30 days not because they were slacking but because they were literally buying your product from another supplier first which is a slow motion disaster for your business and third your supplier has to be able to scale with you your first viral product shouldn't hit a bottleneck because your supplier can't keep up you need someone who can grow with you so every order every customer and every sale happens smoothly you get these three things right and your fulfillment isn't chaos anymore it becomes the engine that drives your growth and look I'm telling you right now if you get behind that mindset and the strategy shifts that I just gave you surrounding your product ad store and supplier and you tie that into this absolute game-changing testing strategy you're about to get 2026 will 100% be your best year in drop shipping which brings us to the most important step in this entire process step one gave you proof of demand step two gave you the ads to fuel it step three gave you the platform to create a highquality customer experience step four made sure that your backend wouldn't break these second things took off and step five this is where all this comes together everything before this was building the machine the validation the creatives the systems all gears working together now is the time to turn the key hit the ignition and see which product and creative angle actually runs and gets you out the mud look most beginners they end up testing one product one ad wait around for a week and then it ends up flopping and then they're right back at square zero that's that loop but what you're about to do next is the complete opposite step five is where we finally put all that proof into motion with what I call the prospect spin test instead of dragging this out for weeks this one test tells you and tells you fast which product deserves your time your focus and your spin look with the way that Meta has advanced with AI this test matters more now than it ever has before the algorithm isn't slowly warming up anymore it's reacting instantly to whatever you feed it so if you only test one product or one angle at a time you're giving meta nothing to work with no contrast no patterns and no real signals to learn from because when you launch multiple validated products and angles inside structured clean campaigns you're finally giving the system what it wants options to compare angles to sort through and clear data that it can lock into fast so the more data and info you're given inside this test the faster that it figures out which product actually has momentum and the faster that you get out of the guessing game so let me go and show you what this looks like when setting up so right here I'm going to go and name this campaign something like prospect CBO now I'm going to go and select sales and set a daily budget to start something like $25 to $50 which is ultimately going to give Meta just enough room to learn without you having to overspend we want to go and keep the targeting broad and then right here we want to optimize for purchase this is important cuz although this is technically just a test we don't want it to stop us from getting an actual sale and then right here this is where we're going to go ahead and load three to five creatives under each product and these creatives should be all around the avatars and the different angles of the product that you mapped out earlier so just go ahead and upload these and then drop those versions in and then go ahead and hit publish and that's it now within a day or two this signal should be clear meaning that you have one product and one angle that is completely separating itself from the rest and I want to make it clear you're looking for the ones that are actually converting not the one that's just getting the cheapest clicks so for beginners let me simplify this down so that you know exactly how to read the signal starting off with the first and probably most important thing is purchases if you have one product that gets even one purchase and is profitable while the others don't that's your front runner purchases are going to be more important than everything now second is a strong clickthrough rate so if you don't have purchases yet which is also normal you want to look for the product with the highest clickthrough rate usually anything above 2 and a half% on Facebook means that the angle is resonating the third is through stable CPMs cpms or cost per,000 impressions is just what Facebook charges you to get your ad in front of people so when your angle and product is strong Facebook can find buyers easier so the cost ends up staying low but when that angle is weak Facebook has to work harder so obviously the costs are going to climb so when you're looking at your data and you see that your CPMs are between like $10 and $20 or less and your clickthrough rate is high that's the algorithm telling you that people are resonating with this so you should just continuously keep going and when I say that the signal should be clear this is exactly what I mean so if we take a look right here at my own prospect test you can even see for me it was packed for the mouth tape that is pulling the first four purchases and the others crickets so that right there was my cue so my next move here wasn't just to sprinkle more budget across everything it was to promote the winner so to do that all you got to do is duplicate the winning adset into its own fresh CBO starting a brand new campaign still optimizing for purchase and set up the same way as before but now we're feeding it even more ads to work with dropping in five or six fresh creatives that are all built from the winning ad that pulled those first four sales then from here I'll just go ahead and bump this daily budget to 75 or even $100 if I want to get results faster which obviously we all want to do so this is where a tiny bit of discipline saves you a lot of money cuz if you give the initial prospecting CBO a fair shot in just 2 days you're going to have plenty enough information to see which direction you should go not waiting around for 2 weeks like people were doing years ago that's why this spin test this is your exit lane everything before this was chaos guessing hoping and praying but the second that this test runs and you spot your winner this is when you're finally out of that cycle because now the data drives your decisions not assumption this is the moment that most beginners never reach the point where everything starts feeling calm predictable and repeatable where you got your product your proof and your systems from here on out it is not about getting in the other lane anymore it's about staying there and the way that you stay there is by scaling the right way not with guesswork but with structure now with that being said before we wrap this up if you want something simple that you can keep on your desk as you start building this out I made you a free cheat sheet that breaks down every single thing that I covered inside this video it's literally the same checklist that I use when I'm validating products picking creatives and running that first prospect test so this free document will keep you organized so you don't miss out on anything and you can grab it right below this video inside of the description so make sure to go ahead and download it and keep it open while you watch my next video where I created a drop shipping store in 1 hour and I made over $107,000 in 24 days where I walk you through the exact scaling process where I took the same system that we covered today and I push it to six figures step by step so if you're serious about taking this momentum and actually turn it into results then that is going to be your next stop as always thank you guys so much for watching i'll see you in that next video this is AC with Supreme Ecom and I'm
