This is a fantastic beginner’s guide. Was the 5th video I tried on the topic and is by far the most informative and complete guide. Thank you!

[@Dylan-t6e7m]

This video really highlights the struggles of running an e-com store. I remember losing sales because of late deliveries, but switching to Service Points changed everything. Anyone else been there?

[@ciaoamerica71]

Financial/business planning and analysis is important and has its place, but for a small ecommerce business starting out I don't think it should be a priority. The problem I feel is that if you get too bogged down in the numbers and end up with paralysis by analysis you will never start and the opportunity will be lost.

[@Hermonabizzaddis]

How I start then? I need where shall I start?

[@JeffersNyagiro]

Extremely informative. Great entry-level e-commerce video. Love it!

[@chriscarlito8449]

Great share, i would like to add Building your own ecommerce business is as exciting as it is challenging. At a rapid pace you'll learn a ton about choosing a product, evaluating its viability, figuring out how to get it produced, building an ecommerce website, and marketing and selling to new customers.

[@smartfinance2615]

Amazing tutorial! Wow, huge value here! One question though, i didn't quite get this statement: 08:40 'And if you're selling digital products, you can have issues with scalability' Please clarify, thank you 🙏

[@praveendheergasi2734]

i didnt watch the video yet but, i think he means that when you're selling anything online most people will have trouble with scalability. scalability often refers to increasing. for example, increasing sales, profit, etc.

[@lisettpena2306]

You are very knowledgeable with very impressive guides! Thank YOU!

[@learnwithshopify]

Which products do you sell?

[@StoriesByDrew]

On Obtaining your product: If you you go with wholesale, does this mean you can skip the process of validating the products and instead focus on your reseller brand, your nice, and the value you provide?

I'm hooked on every word. I recently read a similar book, and I'm completely hooked on every word. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight

[@xdrazormon454]

Is it worth studying the Google digital marketing and e-commerce professional certificate just to gain the skills as a bonus at least for the job if it won't also teach you how to run an online e-commerce store? Then what Course on Coursera would they also teach me the guidance for running an online store and business if anyone is also looking for answers to the questions?

Thant sir for this intresting video👍👍👍

[@Tryamushki]

Great video! Can you please clarify on the 4.40 which tool do you recommend for the key-word research?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi there, Viktoria! Thanks for your question! The tool that is mentioned at that timestamp in the video is called 'Google Keyword Planner'. Google has loads of articles and support documents on the tool and how to best use it to do research into keywords that folks are entering all over the internet!

[@SalehAlanad-gf9iu]

What is defferint betuen Shopify and Ecommerce Business?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi, there! Shopify is the ecommerce service merchants use to run their stores (shopify.link/zJqV). If you're interested in learning more about Shopify I would definitely recommend checking out our Intro to Shopify (shopify.link/WJR) and Getting Started Guide (shopify.link/1Pan).

[@jcofer]

How do you find a competitors market share without seeing financials? I never understand how small biz owners are expected to obtain this information if it's it's a private company? One can guess based on perception but what is the point if it's not accurate?

[@hrvojejurcevic583]

Thank you very much for so much great info,i got a question i would love to get answer please,is there diffrence if i start buisness from Europe or USA?I heard there are more obstacles from EU.Thanks for Great video and hope to get answer please.

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out! Shopify is available to use in Europe the same as it is in the USA. As far as starting a business in Europe compared to the USA, we are not equipped to answer that, and it would be best to do some research into this. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

[@marilynsaga9140]

Great info...

[@wesleymartin3249]

Hello sir I will like to start e-commerce business in next 15 days plz suggest me some product or categories which help me for good start and growth..

[@learnwithshopify]

Hey, Gitajali! Great to hear that you're thinking of starting an ecommerce business! Ultimately, what you sell will be up to you as every entrepreneur has their own journey with building and growing their own business. It's a good idea though, to sell something that you're passionate about so that it'll make it easier for you to market your products. In saying this, you can check out our Shopify blog here: bit.ly/3DvPtUR, for some product ideas. Once you have an idea, you can follow the guide within this KZbin video to start laying the foundation for your business!

[@rosewilson2200]

Did this work for anyone

[@richardo422]

Not enough info given when they explain how to identify competitors. It would be nice if they went into the detail of every point. This feels incomplete because of that.

Sir, please tell me you have this info in paper form🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾...You are a gem 💎🥰

Oops!! I should’ve waited. You provided the info. I’m watching and posting at the same time. Thank you so much for this video.

Question for any aspiring entrepreneurs out there. What’s the biggest problem you are facing now in your e-commerce journey?

[@salimsalum8095]

Thanks for knowledge please share your direct contact I am looking to open e-commerce website soon

[@Zo-hc2fn]

let's use the principle of e-commerce in physical stores I explain: every store in the world is 1.0 in this store, products almost never change and the owner chose the products it is boring now, there must be a new store 2.0 in this store, products always change and people choose the products there will be via an app on the app, there is a huge catalog, people choose the products that will show up in the store the store is constantly being supplied with the products people choose
