We know the name of the shop, how to create a store, find your niche, create the designs. I haven't got to marketing as yet but we'll get there.

Hey Shimmy just found your channel, absolutely love your content.

Thanks! :)

Yes… one has nothing to do with the other. There a bunch of Pod creators on KZbin, there’s millions that aren’t. I do KZbin because I love it. I love the creativity. The filming. All of it.

You need money to pay for design software like Canva, and for Shopify and Printify and pay for any extra art, money to pay for the items when someone buys them from your store, money for mockups because you can't sell anything without decent mockups. Then there's the ads like Google or Etsy. In other words, it takes money. .

@SpeedbirdHeavy4 ай бұрын
@dumpsac5702 the reason for that $100k limit is that, for US sales at least, most sellers don't have to file. 100k is the sales threshold, known as 'nexus', when new sales tax obligations kick in for many states. So depending on where you live, you might not need this. In fact, if you collect taxes without being officially registered with a tax authority to do so, you might be breaking the law.

What about tax and the pay provider costs?
@shimmymorris14 ай бұрын
I included the provider costs. Tax will be calculated based on profit at the end of the year. I shall make a video when that time comes.

Can you do a video on VAT.... I am totally confused on this... if you go over £85k sales ( not profit) you are liable for around 20% tax? This is basically your profit although printify has collected around a third of this? Very confusing would love some clarification as no one appears to give info on this...it gets even more complicated as many sales are in the US I guess.

@@tobymcculloch4375 I think he only sells in the US so VAT does not apply. The US has sales tax, but I believe there are large exemptions.

In terms of picking a niche, what do you think of cross-niching as a way to niche down? For example dog lovers who knit as a hobhy. Does that make it harder to target your ads? It's been difficult to narrow down a niche that's not either oversaturated or just not in demand. Any advice?
@shimmymorris14 ай бұрын
I wouldn’t worry about over saturation as you won’t be surrounded by competitors on Shopify. People will land on your store and only see your products. I wouldn’t cross niche for Shopify though as you’ll really struggle to come up with enough design ideas to populate your store

How I can open a Shopify account in a country that is not in the supported list??

How could there be a way around that if your country isn't on the supported list?

If you are this happy and you are the pro, it feels like you are surprised. Seems like a little luck? Experience allows you to pick the best niches and products. And that’s why we need to also pay for the course 😢.

I’m an energetic person. I get excited about lots of things and typically bounce off the walls. It could be my ADD. Who knows. I’ve found that being positive and energetic like this gives off good vibes and good energy which helps inspire others.

Start with a niche. Then build a moodboard of successful designs in that niche. It’s obviously a lot more complicated that this video. This was just an update to my new store. Been making these once a month

I was all over the place when I first started, all my first listings I started with are deleted, I've deleted maybe atleast 1000 listings so far...it took me a long time to find my niche.

Can you show the items you're actually selling? Tossing all these numbers and graphs up on the screen is good for your ego, but i'd like to see what it is that's making those numbers happen. Thank you

i've spoken about this in many videos and many comments. I don't share my store for a few reasons. metrics, retargeting ads, people who steal designs, etc
