head,over to my instagram ac underscore,hampton and dm me the word mentorship so,i can reach out and help you get started,now without further ado let's go ahead,and head into exactly what you need to,know to get your shopify store started,successfully now the first thing that,you need to be prepared for with,starting your shopify store is the,expenses that come with it now of course,you guys can get started for absolutely,free with my 14 day free trial on,shopify with the link down in my,description but you must be prepared to,spend at least 30 dollars a month after,this trial has ended to continue to keep,your store open now they do have other,options available that are more,expensive with more features but all,you're going to need is a 30 month plan,which is what i've been able to generate,millions of dollars in online sales with,that you can see all right here the next,expense i see a lot of people not take,into account is the apps that you're,going to need on your store now as we,head over to the shopify app store as,you can see they have a lot of apps that,have free trials and free plans that are,available but once these trials do go up,you're going to have to come out of,pocket for these i would say on a,month-to-month basis i'm spending,anywhere between 60 to 70 on apps every,month when it comes down to it is well,worth it for the return that i see from,actually using these apps on my store,and just an example of that you can see,right here with sms bump i spent over,855 dollars for a return of,8550 with a total roi of 8.99 x easily,bringing me in an additional 106 orders,just from this app alone so although,apps can add an extra expense to you,while running your online business it's,imperative to have them in order to make,your shopify store as shopper friendly,and high converting as possible check,out this video right here to learn more,about the must-have apps on your store,in 2022 so that you can start,calculating them and preparing your,budget the next thing that you're going,to want to take into account before,starting your shopify store is that,you're going to be paying for your,domain now this isn't one that's going,to break the bank as this isn't too,expensive as it typically runs around 12,to 15,annually but if you want to keep your,store name and url you're going to have,to prepare to be buying for it not,preparing the correct funds while,starting your shopify store can be,detrimental to the success that you want,to have with your online business so,make sure that you're prepared and,budget for what you'll need in order to,run your online business and run it,successfully no business can be started,with absolutely zero dollars but this is,a business that can be jump started at a,low cost as long as you know what you,should be preparing for now the next,thing that you need to know before,starting your shopify business is the,theme options that you have a theme is,important to the success of your shopify,store because this is how you make your,shopify store as shopper friendly as,possible one of my absolute favorite,things to use is the beautify and that's,for a couple reasons this theme is,literally built for conversions and it,offers everything that you need to know,in order to build grow and scale your,online business efficiency is key when,it comes to creating your shopify store,which is exactly what debutify helps,with the beautify wraps store design and,apps all in one and helps you create a,high converting professional storefront,while helping you also differentiate,yourself from your competition and,create a store that can be remembered,after you go ahead and download the,beautify and choose your plan you'll,have a theme that gives every customer a,seamless shopping experience it's,incredibly easy to integrate into your,store it requires no coding just a,couple clicks and you have a theme that,is going to get you purchases right from,the launch of your first product one of,my absolute favorite things about the,beautify is the add-on apps that will,integrate directly through your theme,which then will not slow your store,speed down which ultimately adding a,bunch of apps from the shopify app store,can do for you all the add-ons that they,have available are meant to help,increase the conversions on your store,and keep your average order value high,and as we all know customer satisfaction,is everything so if you're ever having,problems with the beautify can't figure,something out or you're trying to switch,from your current theme to beautify they,have 24 7 support to help you get all,the help that you need in real time,literally every store that i run has the,beautify in the theme and i'm not a,coder or a computer engineer and i've,still been able to generate hundreds of,thousands of dollars on these stores,because of the brand of feel that the,beautify helps me create if you want to,get started with the beautify click the,link in my description to get 20 off,anything that you choose with them now,before we head into the next thing that,you need to know before starting your,shopify store if you're having any,questions about this video at all or,about how you can get started,successfully make sure you go ahead and,head over to my instagram ac underscore,hampton and dm me the word youtube so i,can give you solutions to absolutely,anything that you may be struggling with,remember it's not about how much money,you can make in this world but how much,knowledge you can teach others to change,their lives dm youtube if you need any,help at all now one of the number one,questions that i get the most when it,comes to starting your shopify store is,do you need an llc to start your drop,shipping journey and the answer to you,is no there is no need to create an llc,and wait weeks in order to get that,before starting your shopify store that,you can officially start today now this,is not to say that you will never need,one because shopify does require you to,enter your llc or your ein number once,you hit around ten thousand dollars in,revenue on your shopify store and they,will not allow you to continue business,until you enter that so my best piece of,advice to you is get started with your,shopify store test the waters for,dropshipping see if it's for you,continue to start selling some products,head down to the bank open up your llc,so that you're prepared to hit that 10,000 revenue because you will be hitting,it as long as you're following the,strategies in this video right here now,that you know exactly what you should be,expecting and budget for when it comes,to opening up your shopify store what,type of theme you should be looking for,and whether or not you should be opening,up an llc before getting started let's,go ahead and head into the expectations,that you should be having when starting,your online business the first thing,that you should be expecting is to put,time into creating your store that looks,good and is easy for shoppers to,navigate a lot of the time people start,their shopify store thinking they can,just add 100 products to their store and,start running ads when i'm gonna tell,you right now this is not the case yes,you'll have a general store that has a,general home page for your online store,but for each product that you're selling,you will need a specific product page,while running your ads you'll be running,ads for whatever product you're trying,to sell and that shop now button will,lead them directly to the product page,similar to this example right here so,you can see once a customer actually,goes and sees the advertisement they,figure out that it has some great,features and benefits it solves a,problem and it's something that they,want they're going to simply scroll down,click the shop now button and it's going,to lead them directly to the product,page of the product just like this so,what that means is that you need to be,expected to put a nice amount of work to,make your product page look good and,never have shoppers question whether,your site is legit or not and if they,should buy from you or from a competitor,i broke down exactly how your product,pages should look and how to create them,in this video right here but to quickly,show you an example of this you can see,that from this product page right here,it's very sporadic it has things all,over the place with emojis and different,colors to all different types of text,which ultimately distracts the customer,from what they originally came there to,do which was purchase i mean from the,title to all these emojis right here to,having all these different colors from,green red black white it's just very,very distracting and trust me if i'm,distracted looking throughout this,entire product page customers are going,to feel the exact same way but you can,also see a product page right here that,is clean easy to read has white black,and one accent color and really shows,off the product well very clean layout,black white in one separate color which,is purple they're focusing heavily on,branding they're keeping a very clean,nice professional store layout there's,not like random countdown timers and,emojis all over the place ultimately,this is a good example of what you,should be basing your product page off,of i'm going to tell you right now that,the person running the second product,page i just showed you is getting way,more sales than the first product page,and i know that just from looking at it,the next thing that you should be,expecting is to only sell a couple of,products on your store although i love,starting my testing on a general store,that does not mean i'm testing out,hundreds of just random products i'm,going through my extensive product,validation methods that i show in this,video right here and i'm choosing one,that i think has a potential to be a,winner for me from there i'm typically,adding two to three complimentary upsell,products to my store to sell along with,that main product that i've chosen as my,winner by only having like three to four,products on my store i'm able to really,push customers towards buying that,product that i want them to and that i,directed them to in the first place this,also helps keep your store speed to,where it needs to be by just having what,you need on your store and it also helps,with the shopper experience rather than,your customer just coming to your,website seeing hundreds of products and,feeling overwhelmed they can see exactly,what they came for now last but not,least you need to be prepared for,managing the money that's coming to you,through shopify payouts shopify will pay,out any orders that you receive every,single day monday through friday just,besides the weekend which rolls over to,monday so you're literally getting paid,out almost every single day what this,means is that you need to be,understanding of your profit and loss on,your store so that you know exactly what,to be reinvesting and what you need to,be pocketing and collecting that profit,from do not and i mean do not make that,mistake of seeing money in your shopify,payments and just pocketing it a portion,of that money should be spent on,purchasing the products that were,ordered from you from your supplier and,getting them sent to your customer at,the same time reinvesting back into your,business in order to keep your business,growing successfully you have to be,willing to put some of that money that,you're profiting back into it i,typically like to reinvest about 30 or,more of my profits back into my ads on a,day-to-day basis so that means if i made,300 profit yesterday i'm adding an,additional 90,back into my ads and scaling up my,business even more by preparing yourself,for everything that goes into starting,your shopify store and not just starting,blind your chances of success are so,much higher roadblocks and struggles are,going to happen when starting off but i,hope that the transparency of this video,helps you understand the time and money,that goes into starting your shopify,store successfully so that you do not,quit when something arises i want all of,you watching this to start your shopify,store with as much knowledge as possible,so that you can see the most success,from it now before i leave you to it i,can't forget
