    I Hate Doing This, But It Makes $$$

    If you sell large, heavy, high-ticket products, there’s one simple (and often overlooked) strategy that can significantly increase your profit margins, without changing your prices or adding more sales. In this episode of the Drop Ship Lifestyle Podcast, Anton Kraly shares the exact freight broker negotiation method his team uses to save anywhere from $50 to $300 per order. You’ll learn: Why relying on your supplier’s shipping account can eat into your profits The difference between freight brokers and traditional shipping companies How to get competitive quotes from multiple brokers in minutes The “quote screenshot” tactic that plays brokers against each other for the best rates How repeated negotiations can unlock permanent account-wide shipping discounts While Anton admits it’s one of his least favorite tasks, the math speaks for itself: a few minutes of work can add thousands of dollars to your bottom line each year. Whether you’re already running a high-ticket dropshipping store or planning to start one, this is a strategy worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone in your network who sells big, heavy products.

    The Power of Niche Networks in High-Ticket Dropshipping

    Anton dives deep into the concept of building multi-store networks for high-ticket dropshipping. He shares his own journey from a single e-commerce shop to a multi-million-dollar network, and walks you through why niche-specific stores convert better, how to structure your business entity, and strategies to drive free and paid traffic across multiple sites. Key Takeaways What Is a Multi-Store Network? Independent, niche-specific Shopify stores (e.g., bouncehousesplus.com, trampolinesplus.com, swingsetsplus.com) Cross-promotion flywheel: customer journeys between related niches Why Not One “Superstore”? Niche focus boosts conversion rate (CR) – e.g., 2.5% from targeted traffic Superstores dilute authority, lower Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) Selecting Store Niches Brainstorm products that share a customer base (e.g., backyard play equipment) Exclude unrelated niches to preserve brand relevance Business Structure & Taxes Use a single LLC (e.g., AK Stores LLC) with S-Corp tax election Simplified accounting and exit strategy (sell the entire network) Cross-Promotion Traffic Strategies Order Confirmation Emails Monthly Promotions & Remarketing Scaling Your Revenue Early strategy took Anton from ~$340K/year to ~$3.2M/year Each store remains highly profitable on its own, but network multiplies ROI Next Steps & Resources Drop any questions in the comments For in-depth niche research, store builds, and traffic modules, grab the free 2-hour webinar at dropshipwebinar.com 📍 Free In-Depth Training Class: 🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.dropshipwebinar.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💻 Free 3 Day Shopify Trial + 3 Months For $1: 🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dsl.life/shopify-yt/⁠

    Tariffs, Delays, and Compliance: The New Reality of Drop Shipping From China

    In this episode, I discuss the recent changes to the U.S. de minimis rule and their impact on dropshipping businesses that ship from China to the U.S. Previously, shipments valued under $800 could enter the U.S. duty-free, but with this exemption now removed, all shipments — regardless of value — are subject to tariffs. This means increased costs, longer delivery times, and more complex customs processes for businesses sourcing from China. 📍 How To Drop Ship High-Ticket Products From USA Suppliers: 🔗 ⁠⁠http://www.dropshipwebinar.com⁠⁠ 💻 Free 3 Day Shopify Trial + 1 Month For $1: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://dsl.life/shopify-yt/
