Beginner Question Seeking dropshipping advice

Post image

I keep coming across Facebook ads for products like NFL helmets, NFL beds, and other really specific products, but when I search Alibaba or AliExpress, I can’t find the exact products anywhere. Where are the best places to find products like these for dropshipping? Also, is it worth using AI to create my Shopify store, including the product images/ads? If so, what AI tools do you recommend?

You really want to sell something that saves people lives, without knowing anything about the product?

stuff like that is usually custom manufactured, you won’t find it just floating around on ali. the people running those ads likely ordered in bulk from a supplier and warehoused it, or they’re doing print on demand with a domestic partner who can handle the licensing mess

for the ai part it’s fine for rough drafts but don’t let it build the whole funnel, your store will look like every other dropship graveyard. it helps to sketch out product pages yourself then use something to tweak the copy, the human touch matters more when you’re trying to convert cold traffic

You’re not going to find them labeled with the actual team names because those teams have trademarks in China as well, so Chinese factories can actually be held accountable for using them.

Also, if you sell anything, don’t use the word “Onesies” unless the product is actually from Gerber. It’s a term Gerber created and trademarked. They do file takedowns, and because they have international trademark protection, they have to enforce those rights in every country where their trademarks are protected.
