00:00:00	00:00:06	what's up guys mark from dear Shmi here
00:00:02	00:00:08	and I recently got a message from does
00:00:06	00:00:15	it let you guys know I recently got a
00:00:08	00:00:20	message from a [ __ ] 180 another
00:00:15	00:00:22	youtuber who does Shopify stuff right he
00:00:20	00:00:24	wanted to do a shout out and he shot me
00:00:22	00:00:25	out so we're going to do that Adrina
00:00:24	00:00:28	we're gonna do that but I want to go in
00:00:25	00:00:33	at a little just give you guys kind of
00:00:28	00:00:36	direction on Shopify a lot of stuff that
00:00:33	00:00:38	people are making mistakes with and and
00:00:36	00:00:42	that's how it should be used properly
00:00:38	00:00:47	right so I've had some experience at
00:00:42	00:00:49	Shopify I one of my stores that actually
00:00:47	00:00:55	took down recently just because it was
00:00:49	00:00:56	give me a lot more work than that profit
00:00:55	00:00:58	right I was only making like $1,000 a
00:00:56	00:01:00	month and I was just too much work for
00:00:58	00:01:02	the [ __ ] profit I was getting but I
00:01:00	00:01:05	wanted to kind of give you guys some
00:01:02	00:01:06	direction and some ideas to think about
00:01:05	00:01:08	when you guys are building a shop if I
00:01:06	00:01:11	still when you planning your Shopify
00:01:08	00:01:13	business so what has happened is like
00:01:11	00:01:18	all these [ __ ] from everywhere
00:01:13	00:01:18	is making all this Shopify training and
00:01:18	00:01:24	they're mixing up strategies one person
00:01:22	00:01:27	tell you you use oil Aliexpress another
00:01:24	00:01:27	person's telling use custom stuff blah
00:01:27	00:01:31	blah blah blah
00:01:27	00:01:33	now let me can explain I personally have
00:01:31	00:01:37	somehow some serve some successful
00:01:33	00:01:39	Shopify Matt has had some and a few
00:01:37	00:01:41	people around me um they do Sean who
00:01:39	00:01:45	haven't needed to do a quality meat
00:01:41	00:01:49	items some some successful Shopify as
00:01:45	00:01:53	well and we plan to have a person but
00:01:49	00:01:54	let me kind of break down or the
00:01:53	00:02:00	different shop if I start that I've seen
00:01:54	00:02:03	worked and why they were so one type of
00:02:00	00:02:07	Shopify store I've seen worked it's
00:02:03	00:02:11	custom t-shirts leggings custom gear
00:02:07	00:02:14	now the reason why and the reason why
00:02:11	00:02:15	that works and then please bear with me
00:02:14	00:02:17	because this might take a time and I'm
00:02:15	00:02:21	going to go through custom stuff I'm
00:02:17	00:02:26	going to go through how to better use
00:02:21	00:02:27	Aliexpress so the customs and I'm only
00:02:26	00:02:29	toking about the experience I've had
00:02:27	00:02:31	and it's tours that I've seen are
00:02:29	00:02:32	successful if any guys watches have a
00:02:31	00:02:34	successful story on some other [ __ ]
00:02:32	00:02:37	we could do a Skype call our shared with
00:02:34	00:02:40	all you guys but so on the custom stuff
00:02:37	00:02:45	a dentist I did a store with some custom
00:02:40	00:02:49	stuff on which I'm sure nods like charg
00:02:45	00:02:53	attention Italians in the US right sean
00:02:49	00:02:55	has done a custom Shopify store I have
00:02:53	00:02:58	seen another number people do custom
00:02:55	00:03:01	works Sharpie priceless now the reason
00:02:58	00:03:04	why that works is because when I my
00:03:01	00:03:08	reasons Facebook ads are more and more
00:03:04	00:03:11	expensive right the margin on some of
00:03:08	00:03:14	these things are relatively high but you
00:03:11	00:03:16	want to have unique designs so that lets
00:03:14	00:03:19	say you're spending ten twenty dollars
00:03:16	00:03:21	to get one buyer it could be a potential
00:03:19	00:03:24	repeat buyer right so this place might
00:03:21	00:03:26	buy from you once and then might come
00:03:24	00:03:28	back and buy from you again and you
00:03:26	00:03:33	would have spent $20 to get that get
00:03:28	00:03:36	that um get that custom the issue is
00:03:33	00:03:36	with um
00:03:38	00:03:42	what was I saying yeah the issue with
00:03:40	00:03:45	would use an Aliexpress are those type
00:03:42	00:03:49	of things in that model is that
00:03:45	00:03:52	generally speaking you don't how to
00:03:49	00:03:54	explain you don't tend to get a lot of
00:03:52	00:03:57	repeat customers because a lot of you
00:03:54	00:04:00	guys are choosing Aliexpress shipment
00:03:57	00:04:02	choosing random item shipping takes
00:04:00	00:04:05	forever you're gonna get angry customers
00:04:02	00:04:07	or not type of thing another thing with
00:04:05	00:04:09	the custom work it is unique right you
00:04:07	00:04:11	have to get good designers you have to
00:04:09	00:04:13	get you have to have an eye for sitting
00:04:11	00:04:15	sort of apparel or whatever you choose
00:04:13	00:04:16	oh you have to be very creative and
00:04:15	00:04:19	there's a lot of testing involved I
00:04:16	00:04:20	remember Sean mentioning and we didn't
00:04:19	00:04:22	have a long conversation about this
00:04:20	00:04:25	stuff we supposed to but Sean mentioned
00:04:22	00:04:27	and he went our hands-on training in
00:04:25	00:04:30	Canada and these guys are spending
00:04:27	00:04:32	$1,000 a day on Facebook ads so there's
00:04:30	00:04:34	a lot of testing and retesting and
00:04:32	00:04:36	retesting and tests in certain exams and
00:04:34	00:04:39	going back and the margins are about 40%
00:04:36	00:04:41	I say all of that because a lot of you
00:04:39	00:04:46	guys who jump into this and buy courses
00:04:41	00:04:48	don't understand or don't have any sort
00:04:46	00:04:51	of perspective and how much money you
00:04:48	00:04:55	are gonna end up spending to figure out
00:04:51	00:04:58	if you could be profitable or not that's
00:04:55	00:04:59	it so that's one example and I just
00:04:58	00:05:00	wanted to bring up a certain things to
00:04:59	00:05:03	give you guys kind of perspective
00:05:00	00:05:08	another example of a Shopify store that
00:05:03	00:05:11	I saw successful using Aliexpress and
00:05:08	00:05:16	stores that focus on a couple very
00:05:11	00:05:19	unique items not not just throwing about
00:05:16	00:05:21	a ton of cheap $0.99 necklaces and
00:05:19	00:05:24	trying to sell them for $20 or sheep
00:05:21	00:05:27	whatever differ but focusing on very
00:05:24	00:05:29	unique items that you find on Aliexpress
00:05:27	00:05:31	that
00:05:29	00:05:33	could seemingly be very unique and more
00:05:31	00:05:36	expensive I'll give you a couple of
00:05:33	00:05:38	examples one example that I saw was a
00:05:36	00:05:40	knife sharpener it was a very unique
00:05:38	00:05:44	knife sharpener that sharpened really
00:05:40	00:05:46	fast right it but it was cheaper was
00:05:44	00:05:48	like fifteen dollars or something but
00:05:46	00:05:51	when you compare to other things in us
00:05:48	00:05:53	to look the same they were like $100 so
00:05:51	00:05:56	the guy that I that did that that did
00:05:53	00:05:58	that store created videos about the
00:05:56	00:06:01	knife sharpener he actually bought it
00:05:58	00:06:03	had it had it at his house and created a
00:06:01	00:06:06	lot of hype around that product and
00:06:03	00:06:08	drive traffic to that product and
00:06:06	00:06:10	specifically because you could find
00:06:08	00:06:12	people on Facebook ads well we were
00:06:10	00:06:16	interested in cooking you can find chefs
00:06:12	00:06:19	and and you can find mothers housewives
00:06:16	00:06:20	so you could drive traffic specifically
00:06:19	00:06:22	to the person that you know what we
00:06:20	00:06:24	interested in that item and you still
00:06:22	00:06:31	have a big margin and because you focus
00:06:24	00:06:31	what no I
00:06:33	00:06:39	okay well one second so you can you can
00:06:37	00:06:41	use him and also you could pass in
00:06:39	00:06:44	galerias and see if you find out a
00:06:41	00:06:47	tripod in RadioShack but yeah and it was
00:06:44	00:06:49	it yeah you could focus often you could
00:06:47	00:06:51	focus on that one product there huge
00:06:49	00:06:53	margins but you have to understand you
00:06:51	00:06:54	gonna end up spending more volunteer
00:06:53	00:06:56	hours a day in mark didn't know if it
00:06:54	00:06:57	works you want to make sure the
00:06:56	00:07:00	designers get you want to make sure it
00:06:57	00:07:01	compares other computing stores so I
00:07:00	00:07:04	just wanted to bring up a couple of
00:07:01	00:07:06	things on on and I will do I again I've
