As you know, we use AliExpress as the main source of items and suppliers for our dropshipping store. Still, when it comes to choosing suitable products, it can actually be challenging to scan through this platform and go through all the hundreds of thousands of items.
This is why we actively use additional sources of information. Even though we don’t import any items from these alternative sources, we look at them really carefully to understand how we can enhance our product strategy.
Here is the list of the ways we use to find highly popular niche products that see a huge demand.
1. How to Find Niche Products on Pinterest: analyzing buyable pins
Pinterest is, as its’ founders state, a “catalog of ideas” where people get inspiration and a good mood. But besides that, Pinterest is a great marketing tool for companies because it helps advertise and promote various trends. You can make good use of it too, searching for the most buyable products:- Log in or create your account
- Turn it into a business account
- To make sure you got all the settings right, go to your profile settings
A pin is a little post with an image. People save the pins they like to their virtual ‘boards’.
- Go to the home page and type your keyword into the search box
- Click on the ‘Buyable Pins’ tab
- Analyze the goods shown. Even though you can’t rank them by popularity, you can see how many people saved certain goods to their boards (the more the better), and what are the names and image styles of the most popular products. Use this information wisely, and your dropshipping store will contain only the best goods.
- In addition, you can use search results shown in ‘All Pins’ tab – the same information is available here too. Please note: these are NOT buyable pins, so, it doesn’t mean that people save these pins to their boards because they want to buy it.
2. Finding Niche Products on Ebay: exploring the most watched products
We use a special service provided by watchcount.com that shows the most-watched eBay items/auctions.- Go on http://www.watchcount.com/mw2.php

3. Use Amazon to Find Niche Products to Dropship: figuring out the best selling products
