Best Practices

If you are wanting to begin your ecommerce journey, Shopify is a great place to start. Shopify's clean, simple, and easy-to-use software enables an individual to create a brand that can seem like it has dozens of employees.

Many people don't even know where to begin, so this mini-course will help you with that. We'll go over the basics of Shopify, some best practices I've learned along the way, and some tips and tricks to get your headed in the right direction. Essentially, you'll have an understanding of what Shopify is and how it works.

You'll also learn how to configure the look and feel of the site with themes and we'll look at configuring payments, shipping, apps, and more. After this course is done, you'll have the background knowledge necessary to spin up your own Shopify store and get started.

This class is an individual section of my much larger masterclass: "How To Create An Online Store: Fundamentals of eCommerce". After completion of this class, I recommend taking some other sections a-la-carte, or taking the entire masterclass (see my instructor profile for more details).

Who this course is for:

New To Ecommerce: If you have not started an ecommerce website before, this course is for you
Dropshippers: If you are looking to dropship your products and don't know where to start, this course is for you too
Brands: If you already have a product in mind but don't know how to get the word out, this course is a good fit
Product Owners: If you already own a product on Amazon or brick-and-mortar and you want to access the scale of the internet, this is a course for you.
Generally, if you are looking to make money off of an ecommerce store, this course is for you.
