Dropshipping success starts with finding winning products, but manual research takes too much time. Luckily, AI-powered tools like Sell The Trend can automate product research, competitor analysis, and even store setup.
In this guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to use AI to find profitable dropshipping products fast.
Step 1: Sign Up for Sell The Trend AI
- Go to Sell The Trend’s website (affiliate link).
- Choose a plan (they offer a free trial).
- Install the Shopify app (if you have a store) or use the web dashboard.
Step 2: Use Nexus AI for Product Research
Sell The Trend’s Nexus AI scans Amazon, AliExpress, and CJ Dropshipping to find trending products.
- Open the “Nexus AI” tab.
- Filter products by:
- Niche (e.g., pets, fitness, home decor)
- Competition level (low = easier to sell)
- Profit margin (aim for 30%+)
- Tariff-free (avoid extra taxes)
- Click on a product to see:
- Sales trends (rising or declining demand)
- Competitor stores (who’s already selling it)
- Facebook/TikTok ads (see what’s working)
Step 3: Analyze Competitor Ads
Before selling a product, check if competitors are running successful ads.
- Go to the “Ad Finder” section.
- Filter by:
- Platform (Facebook, TikTok)
- Engagement (high likes/shares = good ad)
- Study the top-performing ads—use them as inspiration for your own creatives.
Step 4: Import Products to Shopify (1-Click Setup)
Sell The Trend automates product uploads, saving hours of manual work.
- Click “Add to Store” on a product.
- Customize:
- Title (SEO-optimized)
- Price & profit margin
- Description (pre-written with GIFs & bullet points)
- Click “Push to Store”—the product auto-imports to Shopify.
Step 5: Launch Your Dropshipping Store
- Optimize product pages (add high-quality images/videos).
- Run Facebook/TikTok ads (use the ad inspiration from Step 3).
- Track performance in Sell The Trend’s dashboard (orders, best sellers).
Bonus: Avoid These Mistakes
❌ Selling saturated products (check competition % in Nexus AI).
❌ Ignoring tariff-free products (extra taxes kill profits).
❌ Manual product uploads (use AI automation to save time).
