this video is going to show you how to,set up a new shopify store for free,connect that shopify store to your,youtube channel and sell your shopify,products on your channel we need to,start by building a shopify store which,you can do on the page you'll see on,screen now you can access this page by,using the link in the description to,this video and if you use that link,you'll be able to set up your store for,the first 14 days for free to get,started you need to enter your email,address and the really important thing,here probably the most important thing,this whole setup is you need to use the,same email address to build your shopify,store as you use to log into your,youtube channel because that email,address are what the two platforms are,going to use to approve the connection,cool so next just click on i'm just,starting not really important what you,click here i clicked on i'm sending,through my online store and i most,importantly click that i'm selling,through social media because i'm going,to be selling my products through,youtube too next i clicked other because,youtube wasn't on the list next i,clicked yes when shopify asked me if i'm,going to be doing dropshipping if you,don't know what dropshipping gears it's,a business model where someone else,makes your products and stores them for,you and then when you get an order,through your store that manufacturer,will send the products to your customer,so that's what the drop shipping model,of selling products is i've used it in,the past and i'm probably going to use,in the future so i clicked yes if you,plan on making and selling your own,products i'd click no on this screen you,can always change your shopify store,settings later on down the line if you,find out that you want to start doing,drop shipping at a later date right so,next up you need to enter the name that,you want your stores to be called on,this screen i called mine the youtubers,revenue hub because i'm going to be,selling products that help youtubers,make more revenue but you can literally,call it whatever you want then let's set,where your business is located it was uk,for me,now you've got to create your shopify,account so enter your email address and,password that you want to use to log,into your shopify store i've obviously,blurred my details out here cool then,shopify will show that it's building,your store awesome and now you're in to,your shopify store for the first time,and you can see that your 14 day free,trial started right so first priority i,know from using shopify that it's best,to just put your payment details into,shopify as soon as possible they don't,charge you anything from your account,for the first two weeks,but it just makes the setup process as,straightforward and simple as possible,if you enter your payment details in at,stage one cool so i clicked credit card,and just entered my payment details here,obviously blur all this stuff out cool,and then yeah i selected monthly,19 pounds a month if you're in america,it'll be 29 a month i then realized i,needed to click on add address before it,would actually let me proceed,um with entering my payment details so i,just went in added my address details,here i unchecked the store being a,registered business because i'm a sole,trader sole proprietor here in america,if you're a limited corporation you're,going to want to tick that box like my,address details are entered i can start,my plan and it has my going to be paying,19 pounds every 30 days but it's giving,me the first 14 days for free,while i'm on that free trial great so,i've now subscribed just entered where,i'd heard about your shopify from so,social media cool,so payment details are entered,if you click this little eyeball over,here you can see your shopify store you,can see there's not anything to it it's,just a template at this point in time,but the store is built the payment,details are entered now we just have to,connect our shopify store to our youtube,channel so to do that i went to my,youtube channel side note my channel was,all about helping youtubers make more,money with videos like this so if you're,a youtuber that wants to make more money,make sure to subscribe to my channel,while you're watching this then went to,youtube studio clicked on the,monetization tab click on the shopping,tab and you can see,there's an option there to connect,shopify to youtube so click continue and,then press go to shopify and i can see,that i've got to add the google channel,app to my shopify store so i just,clicked on,the shopify account on the shopify,website that i've just set up and you,can see here it's telling me it's going,to add the google app to my shopify,store so what you have to do is click,the add sales channel button at the top,and the connection between shopify,and youtube will start getting set up so,then you click this button to connect,your google account click the google,account that you use to log into your,youtube channel and select your youtube,channels account and then you have to,allow google to connect to your shopify,store cool and once that's done,you can see that nothing is ever as,straightforward as you want to be,i'm only four of the seven steps to,completion with getting my shopify store,connected to my youtube channel and,those areas i needed to fix before the,connection,is properly working so if you look at,this box here you can see a list of,things i need to fix first off shopify,is telling me that i need to remove the,password that is kind of locking my,online store,away from the public so when you first,set up a shopify store no one can see,the front page of your shopify store,when they enter like the url to go to,your store all they see is like a,password login page,where you as the owner of the store can,log in and like make changes to the,store so we need to remove that password,login page from our store to basically,tell shopify that our store is open to,the public and unlock the ability to,connect our public open store to our,youtube channel so we just click this,remove your online store password link,here scroll down to,this password protection,box uncheck password protected and press,save and your shopify store will no,longer have a password login screen,on its home page it will be fully open,and discoverable to the public great so,to get back to that screen with the list,of errors that we need to fix click on,the home tab on shopify scroll down and,just click this boxes review issues that,you've got with the google setup,next up shopify is telling us that we,need to add a refund policy and in terms,of service to our store so these are,just like pages that are visitors to our,shopify store can see to understand like,what our refund policy is and what our,t's and c's are so to get those policies,set up we just need to click this link,to add our refund policies and our terms,of service that'll take us through to,this policies page and it's really easy,to get our refund policy and turbine,service set up and added to our store we,just need to click this button here and,we can generate,a refund fund policy from a template,then we can scroll down and generate a,privacy policy from a template,generate a terms of service from a,template like shopify just does all of,this store stuff for you,so then i just press saved that step was,done so close the screen that was on,there go back and click on the google,link to go back to the screen of errors,but then when i scrolled down i saw that,the refund policy step hadn't been,ticked off because shopify is asking me,to add links to the refund policy and,the terms of service into the footer of,my shopify store so that when,hypothetically customers come through to,my shopify store they can find the links,to the refund policy and the terms of,service policy by just checking the,footer of my shopify store so you're,going to click this link which will,allow you to add policy pages to the,footer of your shopify store and that's,it one click and that's all done for you,and finally we're being told that we're,required to add contact information to,our shopify store before we're going to,be allowed to connect our shopify store,to our youtube channel so if we give,that link a click and then we just press,confirm telling shopify that we've added,our contact information to our store but,i now encountered another error you see,the red message there there's a problem,verifying in claiming my domain so i,thought i'd worked for all the errors,and shopify is now presenting me with,one final error that i had to solve,before i could connect my new shopify,store to my youtube channel i went to,this box below and added my phone number,in to start a process of verifying that,i am actually the store owner and i'm a,real person so shopify sent me a text,message i then had to enter the code i,got from that text message in these,boxes,in order to verify myself but even after,entering my phone number i'm still,seeing this error message saying that my,domain wasn't verified or claimed i,didn't really know what to do so i,clicked that link here to contact,shopify support i pressed login clicks,on my shopify account and i saw this new,error message that there were details,missing from my shopify account,settings page so i just click this,button to go through to the account,settings page i then saw that i hadn't,clicked like a verification link in a,verification email and i also noticed i,hadn't entered my first name last name,and phone number in the details box,below that so i put my name in there it,said phone number was optional so i,didn't bother with the phone number,and i saved those details then i,realized that i hadn't even seen a,verification email in my inbox so i just,pressed the button here to resend that,verification email to my email account,when that verification email came,through to my email inbox i just pressed,the button to confirm my email address i,saw a message that my email had been,verified and pressed to go to my store,and then asked me to log in again for,some reason so i logged in again and lo,and behold once i logged in again the,error message was still there so at this,point i had no idea what to do so i,figured screw it i'll just try,disconnecting my google merchant account,and reconnecting it and see if that,fixed the problem so i press disconnect,confirmed the disconnect warning message,then clicked to reconnect it and would,you look at that no more error messages,that fix the problem if you're seeing,the same problem i had just disconnect,your google merchant center account,reconnect it at this point and,everything should be fine for some,reason my phone verification had been,lost i had to go through doing that,again so got text message re-entered the,code press verify,job done,i then clicked my country and language,that i was targeting so i'm in the uk so,i press uk and target language i want my,customers to be landing on my store,with is english so press english on the,shipping settings page i just basically,said i wanted shopify to automatically,decide the shipping settings to use for,my products if you're selling physical,products rather than digital products,you can always go back and fine-tune,shipping settings,at a later date there's plenty of videos,on youtube as well on how to set up,shipping settings in youtube but for now,because i know that i'm mainly going to,be selling digital products i know that,shipping settings aren't really,important for me so i just pressed,automatic to move on to the next screen,so press save,agree to the terms and conditions,complete setup and voila in theory your,shopify store should now be connected to,your youtube account you can see on this,screen i've got no products in my,shopify store so there's no products to,therefore be displayed on my youtube,channel at this point in time but if i,did have products they would be in one,of these three categories approved to be,on youtube pending approval to be on,youtube or not approved to be shown on,my youtube channel cool next step i,scroll down to the bottom of the page,and you'll see this youtube section,youtube shopping and this is where the,syncing between your shopify products,and your youtube channel kind of gets,set up,so press the get started button on the,youtube shopping page,it then tells you a ton of requirements,that you need to have hit on your,youtube channel to be eligible to do,this so you need to you know have a,uh thousand,in the right country that standard,youtube stuff so just click continue on,this screen because i'm assuming you've,got a youtube channel that has a hit all,of the eligibility criteria that you're,going to see on this page press again,that you agreed some more terms the,youtube shopping terms,and then press complete setup and boom,you've got past the hardest part of,setting up the synchronization between,your,shopify store and your shopify products,and your youtube channel i know that,feels like there's some repeated,processes there i don't know why but,there just is but look back on this page,where,you'll see if you had products where in,the approval process they are when the,decision is being made whether they are,eligible to be shared on your youtube,channel or not,and you'll see this box at the top that,says it takes around three to five days,for your products to be,judged and decided whether they're going,to be able to be shown on your youtube,channel or not quick run through on how,to make a new product in shopify you,just press add products over here in the,products tab on the left i,hypothetically created a digital product,here just to show you how this would,work so you know the name of the product,is my selling on youtube mini course,typed out a quick description added an,image for the product in regards to,price i did a little experiment here,where i set my shopify product price to,zero so i wanted to experiment to see if,i can actually put free products,on my youtube channel found out after,filming this video that you're not,actually allowed to make free products,to go onto your youtube channel but,that's why i set the price of this at,zero pounds in this video because it's a,digital product there is no quantity of,products i unticked the track quantity,box but if you have physical products,where you've got a finite amount you're,going to want that track quantity box,ticked i then unticked the box this is a,physical product because i'm just,selling a digital course it's not a,physical product so this wasn't relevant,so unticks that i set this product as,draft because i just made it as an,example for this video but if this was,your real product you'd be setting,obviously the status of the product to,active for it to actually show on your,shopify store and also go through that,approval process and eventually be shown,on your youtube channel and then you,just press save so fast forward about,seven days i actually have a genuine,product that is currently going through,the approval process from google where,it's going to be determined whether it,can be shown on my youtube channel or,not if i click on this link next to,pending you can see the product is a 60,minute coaching call with me where i,help youtubers understand how they can,be making more money from their youtube,channels and to be honest with you this,has been in the pending stage for about,six days now so that three to five day,review process,i guess it's not always,strictly 3-5 days because it's been more,than that for me but hopefully this will,soon be approved and when people click,the link to this product on my youtube,channel it will take them through to,this product page on shopify where they,can then go and buy 60 minutes of,coaching with me i'm going to be making,a lot more videos on how to make the,most of your shopify store being,integrated into youtube in the future,i'll be giving you updates on my,products and their approval process and,also there's just going to be a ton more,videos on how to make more money as a,youtuber so make sure to subscribe to my,youtube channel if you've had any,problems setting up your store as well,let me know in the
