#1 Killer Hack – Find Best Selling Products on Aliexpress

AliExpress best sellers list offers weekly best sellers and categorized Hot Sellers for drop shipping. As a drop shipping partner you can quickly view weekly AliExpress best selling products in this section especially for holidays and those operating in niche markets.

The Hot Sellers section is a categorized directory of AliExpress’s most popular products. These are not weekly best sellers on AliExpress, rather, trend based top selling items. Usually products that fall within this category are small products priced between $0.99 and $50 with a more insignificant weight, hence, quick selling.

Next product research method is using Aliexpress best-selling lists.

Head over to Aliexpress best selling (https://sale.aliexpress.com/__pc/bestselling.htm).

You can literally see the top-selling Aliexpress products just in 5 seconds.

How to find AiExpress Best sellers on?

This is going to work a bit differently. This method requires you to do some manual work to find AliExpress best sellers.

Here’s a simple way to do so.

• Head over to AliExpress
• Go to your preferred category.
• Search for the product you are looking for. (Example, iPhone 8 cases)
• Now, filter the results by “Orders” and check “4-star & Up” field as well.
• You will get the iPhone 8 cases with the most orders and highest ratings.
• These are the best selling products in your chosen category.
• Repeat these steps to find best sellers in as many categories as you want.

So we checked out “Retro Style Double Cotton Yard Colorful Pattern Camera Shoulder Neck Sling Hand Strap Belt”:

We can see the exact count that is being sold.

So this particular product has over 42,000 orders so there is a lot of potential in this product and people are taking too much interest to buy this product.

You can perform the same activity for any niche, BELIEVE ME, IT WORKS EVERY TIME!

#2 Killer Hack – Amazon Best Sellers

Another method to find hot selling products to sell on your Shopify store is to head over to Amazon bestsellers.

Click on Amazon best sellers it will pull up a list of all the top trending products on Amazon.

Don’t forget that amazon.com is the number one ecommerce platform in the entire world so the products that are selling well in Amazon are also going to sell well in your Shopify store.

This is an absolutely killer way to find trending products to put into your Shopify store so whenever I found my niche specific product that I saw on Amazon I head over to Aliexpress and cross check it to see if I can find the exact same product on Aliexpress.

For instance, I am aiming to sell “Harry Potter Wand” on my Shopify store.

I just typed “Harry Potter Wand” it costs $36.00 on Amazon.

So if I am aiming to sell this “Harry Potter Wand”, I just go to AliExpress to find cheap but exact item.


I typed “Harry Potter Wand” on AliExpress search bar. You can see plenty of options with extremely low prices.

Just import that exact item into your shopify store and start selling 😀

#5 Killer Hack – MYIP.MS

My third product research method to find hot products to sell in Shopify is to use the amazing website called MyIP.ms which allows you to find all of the websites hosted from the Shopify platform. MyIP.ms lists all eStores that are being operated over the Shopify platform. MyIP.ms Shopify directory is the place to be if you cannot find products to add on your eStore.

The brilliant aspect of MyIP.ms Shopify directory is that it can sort Shopify stores by country, World rating, hosting city, and IP address.

Go to IP Owner/Parent IP Owner/Hosting and select Shopify as an owner. See below:

This allows you to see the top 30,000 Shopify stores that are receiving the most traffic to their site and probably making the most sales.
Just scroll down, you will see a list of more than 39000 shopify stores on the basis of their popularity.

These site are actually making thousands of dollars on a daily basis using AliExpress/Ebay or other zero inventory dropshipping model.   

Copy the first store URL (https://colourpop.com/) and paste it in to your browser.

Pass additional parameter “/collections/all?sort_by=best-selling” at the end of the URL and base URL will look something like this https://colourpop.com/collections/all?sort_by=best-selling. This technique will give you the hot selling products of any store 😀

Remember!

Do not reinvent the wheel. Just use the same thing with little tweaks which is already working.

#6 Killer Hack – BuzzSumo.com

The first product research method is using a website called buzzsumo. Buzzsumo allows you to analyze the best performing content across Facebook,Twitter, Pinterest & Linkedin.

Simply type in the product/topic or a keyword that you’re selling in so if you’re selling sunglasses you type in sunglasses Buzzsumo search bar and it will populate the most trending articles in the sunglasses niche.

Scroll down and we can see “1080P HD Video Recorder Sunglasses”.

On this post it has 2.4K Facebook engagement so we can assume that it is a viral article or a product page which is gaining lots of people attraction on Facebook.

Click on the link it will show you the exact article/product page that is being shared on Facebook so “1080P HD Video Recorder Sunglasses”.

If we scroll down the page, we can see that it is a dropshipping store.

So if you have a dropshipping store which is based on sunglasses, you can just import the same exact product from AliExpress/Ebay and promote it on the same channel where it is getting most attention. You can do the same activity for any niche.

#7 Killer Hack – Shopify Apps

Another clever way to find hot selling products for your Shopify store is to go to Shopify apps. What we basically do here is crosscheck on successful Shopify stores that are already selling successfully. The best products to sell on Shopify would most definitely be listed on prosperous Shopify stores.

Shopify’s bestselling products are waiting to be discovered, listed on popular eStores. To begin, select an app that has good customer reviews, for instance, I selected “Best Currency Converter” that has received 1637 customer reviews.

Now you will get plenty of store links with every single review.

So Shopify changed their app store layout which does away with store links. You can no longer see the links to the stores that have reviewed the app. So, you need to find the Shopify stores by their names. Just Google them.



Once you go to a Shopify store, just add “/collections/all?sort_by=best-selling” at the end of their URL..

You will get most selling or hot products for any niche from any store by using this technique.
