No Comments on Alishark Review (Jan 2021): 3 hidden reasons to use it.

In this review we explain why is important to have a reliable Aliexpress product research tool. This is a true game-changer for finding profitable products to sell on Shopify or other platforms.

smart spy tool for drop shippers.

Whether you are a professional marketer or just started up with your online dropshipping venture your product research tool must have 3 of these essential features:
a] quick to retrieve information to validate products per niche;
b] congruent and reliable data from different sources;
c] customer support and regular updates.
If such a spy tool comes with a good price then you may consider having found a cool one!

Alishark Review

First of all, comes with a nice GUI that make searching and navigating all features very easy.
You can filter your search query by Supplier, eBay or Aliexpress and display the most sold item by Today, Yesterday. 3- 7- 30 days. Same can be done if you just want to show the top wish listed item instead. (It is well known those Wishlists have the potential to be a top seller ) An additional filter will help find a relevant product by choosing Categories, price range and order amount. You also will be able to see Stores that are selling those items, daily Shopify, time to Spy guys.

How data is presented?
Inside Alishark each product has its own pop-up window with “Quick view (by time)” and a “performance analysis” view from last 6 months, including top drop shippers and top countries where the items have been mostly sold. If you chose to promote that specific product then you can publish directly onto the Shopify store by clicking a link provided at the top. Very powerful! Obviously, the Button with Aliexpress link is prominent at the top page you won’t miss

Alishark Find Products to sell

SEARCH Discover features.
The most important search feature I believe is the keyword related one which is able to include or exclude terms that we don t want and this can be saved as a Custom Preset to use over and over.
Think about we want CAT but we want to exclude nail, toy. Another important feature is to filter products with a video presentation you can use for Video Ads. Cool one!

Aliexpress Product Research Tool

There have been several updates and improvements since the first release. The owner, Yousef Khalidi, , a well-known drop shipper expert in the industry, has been sharing several tips and trick on the Fb group. The overall database that is behind the tool (2Mil. so far) is growing at considerable rates, so no products listings/opportunities will be left behind. The Chrome extension has been launched as well and new features are being developed time by time.

Here are latest presets shared by Yousefico, feel free to use, leave a feedback, write us a Alishark review :

Preset 01: US
Preset 02:
Preset 03:

Another powerful feature allows you to drill down related products from a given one , by just clicking on its category.

products the latest feature being although at its early stage is not 100% powerful like the standard Aliexpress Product research tool.

Another cool feature is the Chrome Extension: it works like a bookmark tool, from the Aliexpress website, while you are browsing, after you found your product, just press the button ‘Shark it’. Useful when you want to retrieve your listing back in time.

As you can see in this review we like all the available features however our recommendations are to use the Filter along with Top Countries filtered by 3 Day Performance Column. We look at the results at each Price point as we don’t want to promote low profit items for Direct Traffic unless we have an email list o prewarmed traffic

What is the new Growth Rate feature inside Alishark?

Just added a new feature that allows you to filter by product’s growth rate, it measures the velocity of sales happened, so you can spot potential winners before your competitors.

What is the new Banggodd feature inside Alishark?

This new add on is fetching data intelligence from Banggood marketplace, usually well known for high ticket priced items. You have the ability to switch it on/off, results are displayed same way.

Is Alishark 1 of the best dropshipping Spy Tools?

pricing : The tool is not free (Would you expect that from the best dropshipping spy tools?) it runs on a monthly membership of $20, via Paypal, that you can cancel anytime. Since every month’s new adds are added we believe the price will go up soon. Also, the support from the private Fb Group is top-notch. This makes definitely the best dropshipping spy tools. Start your 2 day free trial here.

A heart logo will add Product or Store to your favorites in order to retrieve them at a later stage.

At the very bottom of the info card, You can check Shopify Store selling the item, Aliexpress page of the supplier, Amazon product page and Facebook search result…The Facebook button will list all ads but actually showing search results not the ads.

Aliexpress Explorer

Products who are making a big move are listed here. Hidden gems are products that do not yet have a lot of sales, but have other good metrics. Hot products are ones that are selling well currently.

New stars are products that have just been added to the system and are showing good metrics as well.

A daily Trend and Overall score are provided since they started tracking the product. As usual, each listing is provided with a NEXUS Product Research page.

Sell The Trend: Amazon Explorer

Products who are ranking well on Amazon and find the supplier on Aliexpress. New Stars are those newly added products and showing promising signs of turning into winners..Hot Products are those that have seen huge increase since the very beginning..

New Gems are relatively New but have potential, so worth keeping an eye..Same kind of Filters apply (Categories and daily Trends and Overall are available., including Amazon ranking but don’t expect BSR ranking in real time)

Sell The TREND : SHOPIFY Explorer

Sell The Trend vs EcomHunt

Of course, use the Filters available inside…Anyhow, I am giving a high score since the tool is well worth the price for what’s on offer, definitively much cheaper than other overrated. The GUI is really good, speed is too, all read very well and easy to use you won’t need their well-done video tutorial. The Tools provided are the ice on the cake, very useful and effective vs EcomHunt.

Sell The Trend vs Pexgle

The amount of data points provided is amazing, however, the issue is that you may be overwhelmed by such amount ( do you remember Intelligynce) you may end up in taking the wrong decision. Instead of facilitating the choice, this kind of tool may complicate your daily task, in reality, I wish to have fewer pinpoints to make a decision, vs Pexgle review.

Sell The Trend review: final thoughts

Updates are regular with new features added time by time. Their help support is 1st class, offered in both live chat or video tutorial plus an Academy series (priceless, how to set up an eCommerce business plus)don’t miss this out before it becomes overcrowded!

How To Dropshipping

Dropshipping Business 3 must-have Pillars.

Post author By Frank Keeno
Post date January 9, 2020

There are other things that you will need to make sure you follow in order to set yourself up for success. These 3 business pillars are based off 10+ years of marketing and sales so not only is this a great criteria to follow when picking products to build a dropshipping eCommerce business but should also be strongly considered when building a business overall. Moreover, this will help you yield the “greatest results” even if you don’t have any experience selling products online.

Dropshipping Business Pillar #1) Pricing of Products

When selecting a niche that I would like to start a business in the first thing that I consider is the average price point of the products. The minimum price point that I like to aim for with the core line products (core line = main products I’m selling) is $200. What most people don’t realize is it takes the same effort to sale a $200 product as it does a $20 product. Furthermore, by doing this you set yourself up to make profit per sale.

Dropshipping Business Pillar #2) Target Audience

I want to make sure that I’m choosing products that appeal most likely to the upper middle class demographic. The average upper middle class family tends to have at least $700 of disposable income each month after all expenses are paid. So, if I can get my products in front of someone that’s in this bracket I know that most likely if they want it they can buy it.

Dropshipping Business Pillar #3) Seasonality

Before moving forward with any niche I need to make sure that the products are in demand in the marketplace at the time of me opening my business. There is nothing worse than trying to sell something to someone who’s not looking for it or who is not interested in what you have to offer only because you’re offering it at the wrong time.

How To Turn 1 Idea Into Multiple

I’ve discovered these four strategies listed below that can help you come up with additional product ideas or find even an even better niche that the original one that you started out with. I call the method ‘Product Idea Maximizer”

Niche Up

If you are having challenges finding enough suppliers to support the idea I then move to the next category above where I originally started. For example, if I wanted to sell “Olympic Benches” and there aren’t enough suppliers I would niche up to “Home Gyms”.

Niche Down

This is the opposite of the previous strategy. If you notice that the niche you decide to go into is highly competitive you may want to drop down to the next available category as this will increase your likelihood for success. For example, let’s say you wanted to sell “pet training equipment” you could niche down to just “dog training equipment”.

Niche Sideways

This strategy is used to combine one or more niche’s together to accomplish one of two things. Increase the number of suppliers available to support the main idea or launch two or more eCommerce stores at the same time. For example, if I wanted to sell “Outdoor Smokers” I could niche sideways to sell “Barbeque Grills”. By doing this you will be able to cross-promote products to other categories on your store or two a second store that you own.

Niche Together

Similar to number three the sole purpose of niching together should only be used when you’ve discovered a market that is underserved, has low/moderate competition, and has enough suppliers to support your business. By using this strategy you will combine 3-6 categories together to serve the marketplace of a specific audience. This has to make sense for your audience and market before you pursue it.

Dropshipping Business Final thoughts

For maximum results the more “niche specific” you can be the greater results you can potentially have as a new dropshipping business store owner!

So what additional eCommerce product niche ideas were you able to come up with using the strategies above? Feel free to reach out if you get stuck implementing them.

Through all my years of experience developing a Dropshipping business including marketing and sales programs, this is truly a great list of products and niche ideas that are proven to be profitable online. I’ve created and shared a PDF inside a private group at Ecomroyals.com.

If you decide to sell one or more products that are listed inside the PDF you will be able to make good money as long as you know how to market them. TIP: To get the PDF to make sure you are a subscriber of our free newsletter.
