All you need is the right strategy, the right filters, and a little help from Sell The Trend, an all-in-one AI-powered dropshipping platform designed to help you find verified winners faster than you can say “add to cart.”
Let’s break down the exact step-by-step method to discover profitable products using Sell The Trend, so you can stop chasing trends and start stacking sales.
How I find ($1k/day) Winning Products for Shopify Dropshipping
The Secret Weapon: Sell The Trend Product Discovery Dashboard
Once you’re logged in to Sell The Trend, you’ll be greeted by a dashboard that’s a dropshipper’s dream come true. On the left panel, you’ll find tools for everything from product research to automation and fulfillment.
But today, we’re zeroing in on the money-makers—tools that help you find winning products.
Here’s what you’ll want to look at first:
- Nexus AI Product Research Machine: This tool uses 26 different data points to highlight trending products with high conversion potential. Think of it as your personal ecom crystal ball.
- Hand-Picked Products: Curated by actual e-commerce pros, these are vetted products ready to plug-and-play into your store.
- Ad Finders for Facebook and TikTok: This is where the real detective work begins, and yes—it’s as fun as it sounds.
Step 1: Facebook Ad Finder – Weekly Winners Filter
Let’s start with Facebook. The Facebook Ad Finder inside Sell The Trend doesn’t just show you ads—it dissects them. Unlike the Meta Ad Library (which is clunky at best), this tool gives you:
- Real-time engagement stats (likes, shares, comments)
- Direct links to live ads
- Store URLs of competitors
- Launch dates and ad longevity
Start by applying the “Weekly Winners” filter. This pulls up products that have recently gone viral. Why does this matter? Because recency + engagement = prime product opportunities before saturation hits.
Clicking “Inspect” on any product gives you immediate access to:
- The store selling the product
- Their ad creative
- Customer engagement
- And a direct link to “Shop Now”
Want to go even deeper? Click “See Original Ad” and you’ll land right on Facebook, where you can read real customer feedback.
Step 2: Use High Engagement + Country Filters
Now let’s get specific.
- Apply the “High Engagement” filter to pull products with viral-level interactions.
- Then go to “More Filters” and select your target country—whether that’s the USA, Germany, or Australia.
This narrows your results to products converting in your preferred market.
Take a few minutes to review:
- Likes (1,000+ is a good benchmark)
- Recent ad comments
- Age of the ad (newer is better)
- Branded store vs dropship store (avoid big brands)
Products that check all these boxes? Add them to your shortlist.
Step 3: Explore by Niche (Beauty, Pet, Home & More)
Looking for niche-specific products? Use the niche filter inside the Ad Finder to dig into verticals like:
- Beauty & Skincare
- Pet Accessories
- Fitness & Wellness
- Home Decor
Let’s say you’re looking into the beauty niche. Apply the niche filter, then inspect products with high perceived value, like:
- Red light therapy devices
- Laser hair removal gadgets
- “At-home spa” bundles
These kinds of products often sell at higher price points, making it easier to hit $1K/day goals.
And because Sell The Trend shows when each product was added, you can target emerging winners instead of stale oversold ones.
Unlocking TikTok Viral Product Potential
Now, let’s talk about the product discovery goldmine that is TikTok. If you’re not already using TikTok to find trending products, you’re leaving serious money on the table.
Inside Sell The Trend’s TikTok Ads Explorer, you get access to real ads that are generating millions of views and real sales. Unlike Facebook, where ads build slowly, TikTok’s algorithm can explode a product into viral status overnight.
Here’s how to use it like a pro.
Step 4: Use “Monthly Best” to Spot Long-Running Virals
Start with the “Monthly Best” filter. This lets you identify which products have been crushing it over the last 30 days.
What to look for:
- Massive view counts (millions = high demand)
- Strong engagement (comments, shares, saves)
- Consistent positive sentiment in the comment section
- Videos with before/after results or dramatic use cases
Remember, TikTok is all about entertainment and transformation. So if a product can tell a story in 10 seconds and look impressive doing it—you’re onto something hot.
Step 5: Get Recent Data With “Weekly Winners”
Next, apply the “Weekly Winners” filter. This shows you products that are just now beginning to trend.
It’s perfect for catching momentum early, when competition is still low and profit margins are fat.
From here, click on “Inspect” to view:
- Video plays and likes
- When the ad was published
- Which countries its performing in
- Direct link to the seller’s store
Use this info to gauge if the product is just starting to take off or if it’s already gone mainstream.
Step 6: Apply Engagement & Location Filters
Let’s get surgical with your product research.
Go to “More Filters” and:
- Set Minimum Likes to 1,000
- Set Maximum Likes to around 20,000 to avoid super-saturated products
- Select your target country (e.g., United States)
This gives you a sweet spot—products that are gaining traction, but not yet everywhere.
From here, explore product categories that consistently perform well on TikTok, such as:
- Beauty (LED masks, facial toners)
- Fitness (compression gear, portable gym gadgets)
- Pets (funny toys, grooming tools)
- DIY & Home Hacks (organizers, lighting upgrades)
Check the ad comments to see what buyers are saying—and pay attention to how recent they are. New comments = fresh campaign = opportunity.
Step 7: Analyze Competitor Ads & Stores
When you click “Inspect,” you’ll also see more ads from the same advertiser. This lets you:
- Understand the advertiser’s overall marketing strategy
- See which creatives are performing best
- Learn how they position similar products
And with Sell The Trend’s Store Intelligence, you can spy on competitor Shopify stores to find out:
- What other products they selling
- Their top performers
- Store traffic and average revenue
It’s like having a crystal ball that shows you exactly what’s working right now, so you can replicate or improve on it.
