This video shows a complete $1, 1-hour, laptop-only workflow to launch a Shopify dropshipping store using free AI tools. It covers signing up for Shopify, installing “Build Your Store” to auto-generate pages, connecting a .store domain for stronger commercial intent, and using AutoDS to source validated winners, auto-price (2–2.5x cost), upload pro images, and fulfill orders automatically. The demo niche is Fitness (respiratory trainer, golf club clip, resistance bands, thermal beanie). Conversion trust is boosted via PayPal badges, clean product pages, cross-sell modules, and fully populated policy pages (Shipping/Terms). For traffic, the video uses micro-influencers (10k–50k followers) via Instagram Stories to drive direct product-page clicks. The test sells 12 units and nets $80.35 after costs, proving that AI + automation can validate a store quickly; scaling SKU count and creators can compound monthly profit well beyond $1,000.
