Thank you so much, this will be so helpful because I am planning to start my store soon, and I already have got my products prepared from winnerzila. They give out five fresh products per week, and now your content will help to set up my store. I hope it's going to be a good start for me, I heard as well that people have tough time without good winner products so I am already prepared for that.

This was an incredible video and source of information, for which I thank you so very much. I have been doing research for weeks to try and find all this information, for which you have given in this one video! Thank you so very very much. Just one quick question, I am creating my business from Australia, so Zendrop might not be ideal for me as the shipping would be too expensive and take too long. Do you have any recommendations of a similar for Australian housed products?

[@Cartoonvidoe_Au]

Can't you choose Australia in Zendrop? Is it still sent from overseas? I was under the impression the goods would be sent by a Zendrop warehouse in Australia

[@lewisjenkins8928]

I don't know the answer precisely, but Davie Fogarty's channel would likely be useful to you, as well as this one!

Hi. Very informative video but not that easy to set-up a store! My doubts are that after all that work is done and up running, why will customers by products from my basic and none professional store(i'm not a web designer) when they can cut the middle man and by directly from a supplier? Also, why will i run a store that can't never compete against amazon, temu or so many others out there that spends millions a year in advertizing and publicity? 🤔

Now we need a video on how to run google ads for shopify store

[@rhodiumtarot]

question: o you recommend one product in your store. or multiple one in your store for beginners? thank you

[@lewisjenkins8928]

Hey, I know I'm not the person you're asking but here's how I'd do it. True Beginners should ideally be running single product stores. You learn the ropes better, you realise what's going wrong/right quicker, and if a product fails, you shut it down and switch to another one. It's one of the reasons I'd actually change some of the advice slightly - I'd recommend going for a more "corporate" domain, rather than a product specific one. If you've ran a successful store, or one of your products is doing great, you're gonna want to switch up slightly and add in some extra add ons (if you're running a skin cleaner, having some wipes, or a few eyelash curlers as additional add ons for extra cost). They work well, and will up your profit margins, and they're good introductions to running a multiple product store whilst only managing one "true" product (they shouldn't be individual offerings, but just as add ons to the initial product). When you have some more experience under your belt, operating a multiple product store, or alternatively, several single product stores with add ons is how I'd recommend continuing. Good luck with the store, I hope it's successful!

[@SusanBeck-jt4fk]

How do returns work?

[@MARWAyoussef-yh8gt]

i can not find the idea PDF sheet though. thx

[@0famz]

This is very informative!! So grateful for this content. I have a few questions, if the customer receives a damage product or wants to return the item what do they do? And how do you deal with that? If you have multiple products from different suppliers and the customer buys a few of them will the customer not receive shipments from more than one supplier instead of receiving one shipment? I guess it would be better to have one supplier so that fulfillment comes from that one supplier? Another thing, where I am from I dont believe I can use tiktok ads to drive traffic to my site. There are also drop shippers that you can ship your own products too and the fulfill your orders. Do you have any more info on the best way to go about it?

[@whoistheo]

Am I mistaken? In the video you said there was a FREE PDF in the description but I don’t see it.

[@obsidiansands]

I've been wanting to get into this but so far I need some more questions answered: 1. do you NEED to create a business bank account for this? 2. do you NEED to have a business license for this prior to starting - or after you build the site?

[@brandon0981]

don't need a business bank account, don't need a business license. Think about it this way - do you need a license for buying something cheap and selling it to someone at a higher price? No you don't. BUT you do need to report the earning on your taxes.

[@obsidiansands]
