[0:02]In the next 24 hours, I'm going to attempt to build an AI branded drop shipping store that's going to make me a thousand dollars in profit, not revenue. I'll be showing you how to find a winning product without spending weeks testing, how to build a store using AI in literally two minutes and how to spend your ads without burning through all your savings. So with that being said, let's get ready to rumble. What I'm going to show you is AI branded dropshipping, an actual business model. Compared to the traditional dropshipping, it's a whole entire different thing. By the end of this video, I'm going to prove to you how anybody with zero experience can actually make a thousand dollars in a single day. Now, before we go into that, quick context on who I am. So when I was 16 years old, I dropped out of school because my ex cheated on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. Look, I was 16 years old, so leave me alone. And my parents, they're Asian, so that didn't help at all. They genuinely thought that I was crazy. So with no school and a lot of time on my hands, I had to figure something out. So I went on YouTube and I searched up how to make money online, and the first thing I saw was dropshipping. But just like every other person, I thought that dropshipping was dead, right? But I tried it either way, and for the first 11 months, I tested 19 products, and nothing worked. I lost so much money, wasted so much time, but I didn't give up. So on the 20th product, everything changed. In just three months, I made a quarter million dollars when I was 17 years old. Just think about it, a 17-year-old kid with a quarter million dollars. What's he going to do? Obviously, I blew it all.
[1:37]And after I made my first pot of gold, a year and a half later, I bought a Ferrari 458 at 18 years old. But my greatest achievement is buying my dad a Mercedes at 18 as well. So that's what AI branded dropshipping has done for me. And I'm not saying all of this to flex. I'm saying this because I was exactly where you were three years ago, sitting in Singapore. Everyone telling me to go to school, get a job, get a degree, but honestly, I didn't want that life. And if you're watching this video right now, you probably don't want that either. So I'm going to show you today how I would do it if I had to start all over again from scratch. So first things first, before we start this challenge, we need a master plan.
[2:20]Boom! So just like that, I've spent the last couple hours crafting out this master plan. So, the first step on this is product research. But we ran into our first issue. So if first step is product research, but where do I even find the products from? And if I do find a product, how do I know what products do my customer wants to buy? Now that is what you guys are probably thinking, but luckily for you guys, I've been in this game for long enough. So I'm going to share how we actually do product research in 2026. You see, the old way of dropshipping was you go on AliExpress, scroll for hours, guess, pick something that looks viral, you build a whole store, spend money on ads, and nothing actually works. Then you go and think, oh, dropshipping is dead, dropshipping is a scam. Well, because you're doing it the wrong way. You see, the problem with this is that the whole entire process could take over weeks, and nothing will end up working. But now, we have AI that does all the work for us. So what exactly is the AI way? Well, meet Kalodata. You see, Kalodata is a tool that leverages AI to find viral TikTok shop products. The best part about Kalodata is the fact that it shows you what product is currently trending, how much money they're making, and the exact ads that are actually making money. So before finding a product, we need to make sure it checks all of our criteria. So lucky for you guys, I actually have a whole entire document for product research. Looking over here, these are the exact Kalodata filters I use. Number one, the revenue for the last 30 days needs to be from 10k to 45,000, your ad type is video only, affiliate channel on, and creator count at least 100 plus. Now, by using these filters, it helps us identify products that aren't overly saturated, have usable creatives, have proven demand, and are still early into the market. So with that being said, let's get straight into product research.
[4:14]12 seconds later. Bro, bro, bro, dude, I just found this product. Take a look at this. Right? This is an aged garlic extract capsule. Right, everything on the metrics looks so good so far, and I actually went over to chat GBT as well, right? And I asked ChatGBT to give me reasons why this product is good to sell. This is a mass market, so it's not niche down, right? We're basically targeting adults who are 25 to 65 years old, and the best part about targeting older people is that they really have money. So their buying power is way higher, right? And secondly, it's a clear I need this pain. This isn't just some cool gadget or trendy product. We're actually solving a real health problem. So it can solve like heart issues, weak immune systems, low energy, or just people with blood pressure. So I think, bro, with this product, people don't actually want this. They need it, but I think this is an absolute banging product. We found this product in under 10 minutes, it's data back. Now it's time for the second step. Second step is to build a store using AI. Now, the traditional way to build a store was there to manually code everything, and it would take days just to build a store. But in 2026, AI now does all the work for you if you didn't already know. So how exactly is AI going to build our store? Well, we're going to use this tool called Atlas AI. I'm going to show you guys real quick. So Atlas AI basically builds your store and product page instantly. You basically can test faster, launch with confidence, and actually get your store in just a couple minutes. So I'm going to show you step by step, I'm going to share my screen. So before we build our store on Atlas, we need to first head over to AliExpress or any website where you can find our competitors, and for instance, we're using AliExpress. So all we're going to do is we're going to copy this right here. Head over to atlas.ai on the Shopify right here, we're going to press build your store, press proceed, click on AliExpress, paste the link over here, and then press this. And in two minutes, a fully completed store will be done for us, and I cannot wait to show you the results. Right, and just like that, Atlas.AI has also extracted all the images for us, so all we're going to do is press proceed. Obviously, the colors need to be changed a little bit, but all we're going to do is press import your page, and just like that, we should have our store fully done. All right, and that's the store. As you can see, it's fully done up for us, it's time for the next step, which is ad creatives. You see, creatives, it used to be the biggest bottleneck. If you don't know what creative stands for, it simply just means ads. So jumping over to Facebook Ad Library, this is where I can actually track all of my competitors. And if you look over here, I'm in the competitor's ad library right now, and I'm looking for their winners. So I'm sorting it by impression right from highest to lowest, and this ad has been running for 46 days and 82 days. It has the most duplicates, highest impressions, that's the one that's making them the most amount of money. So all we're going to do right now is we're not going to copy it, but we're simply going to take inspiration from it. I'm going to make an AI UGC avatar to mimic this entire video. So it's basically the same script, same messaging, but it's going to be my own video. Now, the old way of doing it was we had to buy our product from our supplier or Amazon, ship it to a UGC creator, pay the UGC creator to record the video, and furthermore, we have to pay for shipping to ship the product to the creator itself. And that's not the worst part, it takes weeks for the creator to actually film the video, edit it, and send it over to you. So the whole entire process takes weeks and you spend a lot of money. But in 2026, we have AI, and with AI, we can make our own UGC videos in 10 minutes. Let me show you how exactly. I have a whole entire document, and this document will explain how to take any person on the internet and create realistic voiceovers and make them hold our product. I'm going to spend the next hour or two and make about 10 custom videos for us to use. But look, I'm not going to be gatekeeping anything. If you want this whole entire document, just DM me on Instagram the word UGC, and I'll send you over this whole entire document with a video on how to actually make your own AI characters. All right, so I'm on HeyJen right now. I'm trying to find an avatar that's going to fit the product that we're selling. We need someone that holds authority, since we're solving such a critical health condition, we need an AI character that looks like he or she knows what they're talking about. Right, so I'm still trying to find an avatar that will fit this. Dude, that's fucking insane, bro, we should go for her, bro. So Sofia, right? This doctor right here. Yes, sir. I'm thinking she's good, because number one, obviously, she's a doctor. And if we're selling a health product, we need someone that is probably a doctor, right? Not someone in the gym lifting dumbbells, I know I am pretty jacked, but you know, I can't be the one talking about some garlic powder. It has to be this doctor over here. Sofia is going to be our AI character that we're going to be making for this video. So I'm going to spend the next couple hours or two to make this, and I'll catch you guys once we're done. So guys, in just three hours, we found a product, got our store live, and made our ads. And keep in mind, this isn't some special skill either. That's simply just AI removing all the barrier that used to exist that would take beginners weeks just to get the store up. And if you've been telling yourself that dropshipping is way too complicated to start, I just quite literally proved you that it isn't. But let me talk to you guys real quick. Listen, there's a couple of things that I need to clear up. First things first, dropshipping itself, it's not a business model, it's a fulfillment method. At the end of the day, you're running an actual business. And if you remember earlier on in the video, I failed 19 products, and nothing was working. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty discouraged, and I didn't even know if dropshipping was going to work. However, I stayed true to myself. Why? Because I had friends around me, I had people around me making 10k, six figures a month. And I thought to myself, if they can do it, why can't I? But dropshipping itself isn't the hard thing. It's actually a mental strength. When I was feeling these 19 products, my parents was asking me, hey Rayston, what are you going to do with your life? You're not making any money, you dropped out of school, your future is fucked up. And all these words, it really got to me, but at the same time, it made me really motivated. Because I had a mission in mind. Not only did I want to be successful in dropshipping and actually make a name for myself, I wanted to prove my parents wrong. But most importantly, prove myself right. So like I mentioned, on my 20th product was where everything hit. All this time that I was grinding in my bedroom, losing money, not seeing any progress, it led up to this very moment. And it wasn't about the product either, I simply just learned how to market. You need to understand, guys, those are two completely different things. Anybody can sell a product. If Kylie Jenner, a A-tier celebrity, decides to sell a sock or a chair, some random product, it's going to sell out either way because it's Kylie Jenner. Because people don't actually buy the product that Kylie Jenner is selling. They buy the product for the feeling. People like to be a part of something. And if you're able to feel that void and actually create a sense of home, like they're a part of a community or a cult or something, people are going to buy. This is what competitor research actually looks like. I'm not just watching their ads. I'm asking what emotion is this hitting, what problem is it solving, what's the hook doing? Once you can read an ad like that, you can build a better one than the original, every single time. And I also want to talk to you guys about Vikram. You see, Vikram is one of my clients that I started working with two years ago. When he first started, he was working at a supermarket only making $12 an hour working eight hours a day. And he was balancing this part-time job while still in college. He basically had to brainwash himself into learning a new way of dropshipping because the old way he was doing was wrong. And after implementing my new strategies and systems into his business, in the last 30 days alone, he made over $140,000 on his store. Yeah, you heard it right. A 20-year-old making over $140k in a single month. Don't believe me, we actually recorded a full 30-minute podcast right here, and in this video, we basically went over his whole entire experience. Why he decided to work with me in the first place, how I helped him, and how he scaled his store from zero to 140k. Now, the reason I'm telling you this is simply because you need to understand that there's people out here doing it. There's 20-year-olds, 16-year-olds, 17-year-olds, or even people who are 40 years old, like my client Edmond. In the last 30 days alone, he made over $166,000 USD as a 41-year-old working adult. So this just goes to show that if Edmond and Vikram can both do it, why can't you? Now, here is the scary part. Since we have our product up, our store is built, we got our ads, now it's time to launch ads. Now, what stops people in this step is using their own hard-earned money. And I know who's exactly watching this video right now. Maybe you might be fresh out of college, you're still in high school, or you're in uni. Or matter of fact, you might even be a working adult with a family. You've got 2K to spend, 4K, 6K, 8K, whatever the amount might be. And that money you have, it feels like everything. And that is true, it is everything, because that's all you have right now. And the thought of losing that hard earned money, worst things worse, losing it online, that's pretty scary. Your parents think it's a scam, your partner think it's a scam, your friends think that it's a scam as well. And I get it, because I was that person. Everyone around me when I first started dropshipping, they were telling me it wouldn't work out either. But I looked at their life, they weren't making 10k a month, they didn't have their dream Ferrari, they didn't have nice watches. So why am I listening to someone that doesn't have what I want, it simply just doesn't make any sense. But here's what nobody tells you about dropshipping, that same guy who lost all his money on ads. He didn't feel because he spent money on ads, he feel because he spent his money blindly. The truth be told, dropshipping is not a get rich quick scheme. However, it is a get rich for sure system if you follow the right people. So if you're someone who has tried dropshipping before and you've lost money, that's not dropshipping. You're basically just gambling, you're better off playing blackjack. The reason why me and my clients are able to scale their dropshipping stores to high six figures a month is because we master a skill set. And when you master a skill set, it's not luck anymore. You can repeatedly build stores back to back and make money consistently. So what I've showed you in this video already is the complete opposite of just gambling money on ads. Before I spent any money on ads, I already know the data about the product, I know who my ideal customer is. Every single little thing about my product, I know about it. When I first started dropshipping, I was 16 years old, and I lost $14,000. You know what I learned from that? It wasn't the fact that I was risking too much money. It was the fact that I was risking without understanding what I was actually spending my money on. The difference isn't the amount of money you have, but whether or not you have a validated system and data behind you to end up profitable. So now is the very last step, it's to launch our ads. So heading over to ads, like I said earlier, we're going to launch ads on Meta. So I've already made our campaign right here with about three ad sets. Right, we have about four creative per ad set. All we're going to do is press publish, and once we're done, we're going to head back over here, right, put the budget at $50, publish, and we're good to go. So guys, now that we have scheduled the ads to be launched at 12 a.m., I'm going to check in with you guys tomorrow how the results are. So I'll catch you guys in the villa tomorrow. See you. Good morning, guys. It's currently 11:23 a.m. It should be about 11 p.m. in the states right now. We're currently in the villa. Let's go over to the Shopify dashboard and see how much we're at currently. As you guys can see, we are 824 for the first day, quick refresh right there. Although we didn't hit our 1K a day USD challenge, if we convert 824 USD to SGD, which is my currency in Singapore, it's well over a thousand dollars. So technically, we kind of completed the challenge, right? And we're ending the day off at 45% margins, so we made well over 400 USD in the day alone, which is absolutely insane. Now, guys, if you want me to help you personally build and scale your very own dropshipping store, I want you to click the first link in the description below. Work with me personally one-on-one with a lot of clients here that get results, like for example, Yuan, who is 17 years old, and over the last 30 days we made over $300,000. In the program, I'm not teaching you some secret strategy. All I'm showing you is the raw reality of dropshipping that all the gurus are hiding from me. But with that being said, I hope you guys learned a thing or two from this challenge, and definitely take some notes from this video. Rayston here, peace out, guys. Good morning, guys. It is currently the next day right now. So, for some context, we ended off the day at damn near a 3K day. Guys, 3K day. Bang. So guys, over the last 48 hours, we generated slightly below $4,000. Which is honestly one of my best results I've gotten from just the first day testing, and the second day we damn near threeX it. I'm going to jump over to the ad account and show you what the ad metrics are looking like. So jumping over to the ads manager, as you can see on the top right, it's currently 26 January, and we spent about $1,064 with a $14.38 CPA. And we got 74 website purchases. Now, if we look over to the other metrics like our CPC, we had a 86 cents CPC, a 4.94% CTR. And that's not the best part. If we go over here, let me add the ROAS. We have a 2.72 ROAS, which is absolutely nuts, right? If you don't know anything about metrics, a 2.72 ROAS basically for every dollar that I put in, I was getting $2.72 back. All right, so if we look at each individual ad, you can see that this ad alone spent $823. It got 63 sales, a $13 CPA. The rest of the other ads got some couple sales, but really all you need is one winning ad for it to carry your entire store. So what I'm going to do moving on to day three, four, five, and scaling this further, is I'm going to double down on this winning ad and make more variations of it. All right, guys, so the challenge was supposed to end yesterday, you know, we already hit our 1k a day goal, but the store just started cooking so hard. So I woke up today, right? So for some context, it's 12 p.m. right now in Singapore. We're running ads to the states, so it's about a 12-hour difference, so the Shopify dashboard is obviously, it's going to look like it's 12 a.m. there. But we're ending today off at a 5.6K, like what, like yesterday, we were at 2 grand. Today we're at 5.6K, the first day we were 800. So I'm probably going to scale this store to like 10k in the next couple days. And this just goes to show that dropshipping is really so fucking easy once you know the correct strategies and the right products to sell. And obviously, you also need a good marketing angle. Guys, over on the ad account, I cannot make this shit up, right? We basically bumped the budgets all the way to over $2,000. Already, I've descaled it back to 1000 because we were low key scaling kind of crazy, but throughout the day, I was self-scaling. I was bumping it from 800 to 1.2K, 1.4K, 1.6K, 1.8K, all the way to $2,000, and even overspent to 2.2K. Right, but as you can see, we got a $15.74 CPA, 145 website purchases. Look over to the other metrics, we got a $1.20 CPC. Our CPC increased a little bit, but that doesn't really matter. Our CTR is basically around the same. And if we look over to our ROAS, we have a 2.44 ROAS, which is very, very, very healthy. So today alone, our margins were so good, it's damn near over 35%. Right, on today on our profit margins alone, which is absolutely ridiculous. The goal was only to make a thousand dollars in a day. Like this is really how crazy e-com can get. All you really need is one good winning ad, like I said earlier in day one, and it will really take up all the spend and carry your entire store so hard. So guys, there you go, you know, this is what happens when you actually follow a proven system and a proven strategy. And guys, whatever I show you in this video is what I teach inside e-com, but we go a little more in-depth. Right? Instead of just watching a YouTube video, I'm actually going to be personally helping you build and scale your very own dropshipping store. So we're going to be hopping on multiple calls a week, and you don't just get access to me. You get access to multiple of my own coaches as well that have generated well over six figures every single month. Now, the moral of the story is dropshipping is not dead, but if you follow a old strategy, you're not going to make any money now. And with AI in 2026, this makes dropshipping so much easier, and the barrier to entry is little to none. You don't need any experience, you don't need to be tech savvy, and you don't need any prior business experience. All you need is a Wi-Fi and your laptop, and you're ready to go. So guys, I hope to see you inside my program Ecom, but with that being said, it's here, peace out, guys.
