Shopify Domain Set Up (Bluehost) | Shopify Custom Domain

hello everybody, this is corbin from zoco marketing. uh, today we are going to be going over how to add a custom domain to your shopify store if your domain is inside of bluehouse. so so me personally, i use bluehost. um, i love bluehost. i used to have a godaddy account, but i just didn't really like how everything functions, so i made the switch over to um bluehost. so i'm going to be showing you exactly how to set this up um to change. so right now, as you can see, my- my- domain is zocoapparelshopmyshopifycom. we're going to make that a custom domain inside of bluehost. so i'm going to jump right in. we're not going to waste any time and we're going to go right over to bluehost. so what you're going to want to do- actually disclaimer before i do say this- if you do have concerns or you're trouble or you're worried about messing with your dns records, i do encourage you to reach out to bluehost support to have them help you set this up. but this is just a guide to help you kind of go through, and this is how i do it. so we're going to go to bluehost and you're going to go to over here on the left-hand side. you're going to go to domains, and then my domains, and then what you're going to do is go to the domain that you want to have your shopify store be named. so, as you see, i have the zoco apparel domain that i am going to be using. i'm going to hit manage right here. we're going to wait for this to load up and then we are going to go. we're going to go here to dns, this little dns tab, and then we're gonna scroll down and, uh, this is where people kind of get tripped up. don't be too worried about this. like i said, if you feel uncomfortable doing this or making these edits, feel free to reach out to um bluehost. if you get messed up, you can always reset your zones back- default. but what we're going to do for this first one, this a record right here. um, i actually went through and added this already, but what you're going to do is you're going to add record and you're going to want to have host record. you're going to have this at symbol and then you're going to have it point to shopify's ip address, which is this: two, two, three point two, two, seven, point three, eight point six, five. leave this ttl as the default, whatever it may be on your dns records don't touch that. so this is the a record, the first one that we're going to want to point that to, and then we're going to hit save there. next we're going to come down to this c name and we're going to hit add a record, and what we're going to do is we're going to call this www and then we're going to have it point to um the shopsmyshopifycom, and once again leave this as it is, and then we're going to hit save. all right, once you have those two things set up, you should be able to now go back over to shopify. what i'm going to do is i'm going to connect existing domain right here. we're not transferring or buying a new domain, we're connecting one because it's in our bluehost account. we're going to connect here and we're going to type in the domain, hit next and we're going to verify connection. so that was that step that it was just asking before it was. it was showing those steps that i just went through with you, kind of in a roundabout way. so i verified the connection and it's going to come back and say: you know, we've verified your connection. you need to wait 24 hours or whatever it may be, so we'll just give it a second. awesome. so, as you can see here, um, the domain is now connected. the domain status is connected. um, i don't have my secure ssl certificate yet on this website. that's a little s after https on the domain. but now we are connected to zocoapparelcom and it says here it can take up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate. in my experience that sometimes happens sooner, but after 24 hours. if that doesn't happen, then i would reach out to either bluehost- uh, most likely bluehost is gonna when you're gonna contact to troubleshoot this. um, shopify really can't help you with a lot of those details, so hopefully this was helpful for you. i looked on youtube to try and find a video for something like this and there wasn't one for blue blue bluehost specifically. so if you're on bluehost, hopefully this is uh helpful for you. now five minutes- not even five minutes- has gone by and i want to show you uh the domain. so i went in and i typed in zoco apparel and there is my store. um, as you can see, it's still very bare bone, still working on it. i wanted to show you how to get the uh the domain connected, but i do have my catalog, starting to get it built out. just some random stuff here, uh, but now, as you can see, it's that easy to get your domain connected. um, you don't have to necessarily wait those 24 hours. i would check it right after. honestly, in this case, this did update in about five minutes and everything was up in there. uh, if you like this video,

You DON’T Need SHOPIFY! (WATCH BEFORE BUYING!)

there's some dirty little secrets about Shopify you should know before you buy, including why you don't need Shopify and how you can start an online store for free. and there's three reasons you don't need choppa Phi. the first is: I'll tok about a free alternative to Shopify. the second one- this is a secret I want to tell you gurus, all the people on YouTube, all the people on Instagram are bias, and there's a reason that they're trying to get you to buy Shopify. and finally, the third one is: it's actually really hard. most people are gonna tok about you know how amazing it is and show you that Lamborghini and all this junk, but the truth is far from that and I'm going to dive into that a little bit. so let's tok first about a free alternative- and some of you might already know about this- and there's WooCommerce. so if you don't already know about this, or maybe even if you do, let me explain some of the benefits of why WooCommerce might be better than Shopify for some people. now, all this being said, I like Shopify and I use Shopify sometimes, and I use Google commerce and I recommend WooCommerce sometimes. so if you are tight on cash, don't go a Shopify like if you're really struggling to make ends meet and you really want to try to start an online store to you know. pull yourself out of that situation. WooCommerce is probably the better suggestion for you, and the benefit of WooCommerce is you can pretty much start it for free, kind of. basically, the way it works is you need to create a WordPress website and then WooCommerce is a free plugin for WordPress. now to have a wordpress website, to have a little commerce site, you need to pay a small amount for hosting. it's a few bucks. you pay a few bucks a month. I personally I do have some WooCommerce websites and I personally use a site ground. I'll put a link down below to SiteGround and I do have the hook up with sycron. if you want to check out the price, you can check it down below. but again, even though WooCommerce is tiknically free, you still have to pay for hosting. so if you're looking for a hundred percent free alternatives, there are some options that I'll share with you. but all these different options do have some pretty major downsides. one of the first options is: why do you need your own website? why don't you sell on Amazon now? I personally sell on Amazon and I make more money selling on Amazon, then I do off of my own Shopify site. the beautiful thing about Amazon is usually you only pay a percentage fee of what you sell. now this depends. if you want to use fulfilled by Amazon, then you might have to pay a monthly fee, just like you would on Shopify, but even still, there's more free options. another option for you is: why not do a Kickstarter? why not kick start? whatever your idea is, whatever your product is, so you do a Kickstarter, raise the money, validate your idea and then you can use that money to go pay for your monthly Shopify or commerce site. now, even if you don't want to use either one of these, you could always use something like Etsy or eBay. so you don't necessarily need to have a Shopify store or a WooCommerce store, depending on what your business model is, but there are some advantages to having your own website. personally, what I recommend and what I do is I launch my idea as a Kickstarter, first test the market, validate the idea, then I launch my product on Amazon. this is where I make most the money, but then, finally, I like to launch my product as a Shopify website or, if you want to do MOOC commerce as well, that's another option, but at this point you're already making money, so it's worth investing in your own digital real estate, your own website. now here's the second reason why you don't buy. you shouldn't buy Shopify necessarily, and it's cuz gurus. people like me are biased. now, what do I mean by this? a lot of people are selling Shopify specifically because, and only because, they get an affiliate commission. so the way it works for me and all these different people on Instagram and YouTube is, if you click on the links in our description or in our bio or whatever, and use that to sign up for Shopify, the, the Guru gets a kickback. and the way it works is: the person gets two months, your first two months that you pay to Shopify. they get that money back. and I'll be honest, what happens to eight a lot of gurus is they recommend Shopify specifically to try to get that affiliate Commission, even if they think WooCommerce might be a better fit or some other, some other platform. and I do have a video where I compare all the platforms and even though I mostly recommend shot to five or more commerce, I think all the different platforms for different people may have potential, but I've tried out a lot of them and, like I said, I do think that Shopify is a great platform and I do think it personally is the one. but just keep that in mind as you're watching these videos. part of the reason so many gurus are telling you how you can make such easy money on Shopify- part of the reason they're saying that is they're hoping that you use their link and sign up using their thing. but here's another secret: pretty much all the different ecommerce platforms do have an affiliate program and they make just as much money recommending something like big commerce or Volusion. but people like me, they recommend Shopify over that, because I do think Shopify is a better platform. but just decide for yourself. a shop, if I write, is WooCommerce. right now, if you are gonna sign up for either Shopify or WooCommerce, one thing that I do that is different than the other gurus out there is: if you use my links down below, as a thank-you, I'll give you a free one-on-one consulting session. so not only do I have the best deal around as far as prices, I have the best deal because it comes with that free one-on-one consulting session. when this brings us to the third dirty little secret of Shopify, the third reason you might not want to buy Shopify. it's because it's not easy money, no matter what anybody tells you and shows off what they're, they're Lamborghini, how they made a million dollars doing dropshipping or whatever I mean that junk is, it's just it's not easy money. now is it a way to make money online 100%? but it's. you're gonna have to do some work for it. there's gonna be some struggle. there's gonna be some some pain that you might have to go through. you might get lucky. some people- I've met some people- that got lucky. they put up a website using that drop shipping source. don't don't do that. I have a video right here. I toked about why you shouldn't do drop shipping. you can make money with it, but I don't recommend it. but anyways, just know that there's gonna be some struggles. the way that I make most my money is off of Amazon. now I don't recommend private labeling. private labeling is kind of similar to drop shipping in the sense of it used to be really easy to make money off of it, but it's a lot harder to do now. there's a lot more competition both with drop shipping and with private labeling. so what you should do instead, in my opinion, is create your own product. what I personally recommend is creating a product that you wish existed, something new, unique, something that you're passionate about. Amazon makes it so much easier than Shopify like. it's so much easier to make money, in my opinion, on Amazon than it is Shopify. now there's downsides to that and I'll do a video where I compare Shopify versus Amazon. downside is: on Amazon, you don't own the customer, so I recommend doing both. I recommend personally having your own Amazon site, your own Amazon like page, and also having your own Shopify or WooCommerce site. it's up to you, depending on how serious you are. now I don't want you just to like. take my word for this. I have a video right here where I tok about my 1.5 year results I've been doing and so on Amazon, my passion product, for a year and a half. check out this video. I share my complete income report. I share all the struggles, the ups and the downs, everything and like, step by step, how to create your own pa.

How To Start A Website | Bluehost and Shopify Review

hey, how's it going guys? John Santos here and welcome to this channel where we help entrepreneurs start and grow their business ASAP with little resources or experience. and now, in today's video, I want to tok about how to create a website and, more specifically, we compared Bluehost and Shopify. so stik around. for those of you that are just getting started and are just now learning about websites, I have an in-depth review as far as comparing. like all the popular ones- whether it's Bluehost, Shopify, Etsy, Big Cartel, WIC, Squarespace- all of the major ones that you might have heard the, but like the words around, and I'll link it up here and the links will also be in the description. so take a look at that video, where I kind of cover the broad basis. this video is going to be specifically for Bluehost and Shopify, which I really preach. our only are the major two options out there. anything else is like is like really settling for what it is that you're doing. so if you're into the product space and you want to launch an apparel brand, any, any physical product, Bluehost and Shopify will really be the two big players. so I want to start this video off with a quick story. maybe you're in a situation- and I hope that you don't fall into the situation that I had when I was first looking around for website. two can be very confusing, so I want to make sure to tell you guys this story so you guys know exactly what happen to me and it doesn't happen to you. the year was like 2000 and 1995 or something- I'm just kidding, I'm not that old. it was like 2012, something like that, when we were first launching our first website and me not knowing anything about web site and like the thought of having to launch my own web site was like holy, like what, how do you do that? like do I need to pay somebody? I was in that situation and then I was introduced to a website firm which will- I will not name. but I was introduced to a website firm and they're like: hey, yeah, we can build your site. you know. like what's your budget? you know, and everybody's always gonna say what's your budget. well, we're looking for something really custom. cuz we heard that custom was the only way to go. everybody was like you got to get a custom site. you know, you got to get a custom site. I went to this website firm and I was like: cool, I'm gonna get myself some custom. you know what I say. and then we got there and we were pretty much like: okay, well, yeah, you guys can customize it however you want. and I was like, oh, yeah, I can customize my own website. you know like I've always wanted to do this. so we ended up like they were like: yeah, so what do you guys have in mind? and when those questions come out, it's like like you have so many options. and now, when those questions hit you, you're like like, oh man, I don't know. I don't know what kind of websites I want. you know like I don't know what my website needs. so at that point you're pretty much like they're kind of telling you what direction you might be able to take, and then they start customizing it to fit your need. and then we end up launching a site and we thought we wanted some like silver. we thought we wanted like, we wanted some like really random at the time, and then they end up building us this really random. so then we end up having a website. it's up, it's functional and it looks freaking crazy. but it looks so cool to us. you know, like we were literally building a Picasso. we were building the Yeezy season 3 and then in reality ended up being ez season 4, which is a complete flop. so that was my situation on building a custom site and going through a custom somebody that could customize my website. overall it was a website that sucked. it didn't convert well features, like there was no backend feature, so it was like we couldn't really do anything. we have to always call them to make any changes and then they charge a fee like an hourly customizable fee. in reality it wasn't anything, wasn't a good experience going to anybody that would build a site and they would have control of like actually managing it. so that's what inspired me to create this video here for you guys and the previous website videos is because I don't want you falling into the same trap. there's all kinds of options that you have and in this one, one that we switched to right after the right after that Fiasco was Bluehost and, to be fair, Bluehost isn't a website. it's not a website like an actual website. it's just a hosting platform, and I cover that in more detail on the other video. but a hosting platform is pretty much where you store all your files. you store your your products, like your physical images, like all your information is hosted there. but then Bluehost allows you to easily connect your WordPress website and your two options are really WordPress on Shopify. so a WordPress website is pretty much a fully customizable website tailored to your needs. and WordPress started as a blogging platform, meaning that it's very good when it comes to like uploading content and wanting to like SEO for Google search when it comes to text and all of that stuff. so WordPress is an easy plug-in to Bluecoat, literally allows you to install it with a simple click. to get started with Bluehost, all you do is you go to their website and I have links down below. you go down to the website, get a plan, whether it's $4, $6, $15 or like to have all kinds of plans. but if you're just starting out, definitely start with the lowest package. that way you can get your hands on it, really test it, use it and then, once your business increases like, you, give up on the, on the bandwidth and the different options that they have. so Bluehost is definitely the way to go if you're wanting to go on the low. they have great customer service, the ability to easily install WordPress and then you can go to theme forest. being forest has like thousands of themes and in theme forest you could choose themes that are already customized to two apparel or two products that you're that you wanting to sell. so in reality, the steps to launching a website on Bluehost is as simple as going down to their website, you paying for the monthly package- I think they even include a free domain name with that package- and then you have your website domain, which, whether it's WWAMI brand, calm, or revive, bronco, comm, whatever, whatever website you want to launch, and then you go down till I either beam forest or you go through, like WordPress's content, and you can choose themes. theme forest actually has like thousands of themes and they have themes ready for you to use on the parallel. so you can find some really dug themes on that platform and they'll cost you anywhere between fifteen, fifteen dollars and up, but like, literally, you install it into your WordPress site and you're ready to go. you're up and running, you're operating a full-fledged website, you connect your stores, store stuff, your paypal information and your launched for less than 100 bucks potentially. so Bluehost allows you to launch on the low, connecting the WordPress and then, over all, it gives you full customization options on the back end. so if you really want to learn how to like customize each theme. then you could still go in there and customize it to your needs. or if you want somebody to customize them in the future, as long as they know WordPress, they'll be able to customize what you need. but, to start off, you don't need all that crazy that they try to sell you on these website firms. you just need something that will look good for you. they can manage your products, manage your orders and and and on the low. so Bluehost is that option if you're on a budget. so now you may be wondering: okay, cool, I've heard of Bluehost, I've heard of WordPress. what about the Shopify? think about Bluehost WordPress. if you think that's easy. Shopify, it's super simple to get set up like literally super simple. like they have, you logged in like a Facebook account to find a theme, either on Shopify or on Dean porous, and then you install it onto their website platform and they have a full like.

Bluehost vs GoDaddy WordPress Hosting 🔥 Who's The Best Web Hosting Provider? (My Recommendation)

Bluehost or GoDaddy? which one is better? more importantly, which one is better for your needs? In this video, i'm going to put them both to the test and compare them side by side to see who wins. the five categories i will be comparing them on are: one: pricing: i will determine who has the best price and what is included in those pricing plans. two, set up- an ease of use: i will show you who has a more intuitive user interface and who makes it easier to set up and manage your website. three, speed and uptime performance. i will test which hosting provider is faster and more reliable. four, support: i will ask questions from their customer support team to determine who is more responsive and helpful. and lastly, the fifth one is features. i will compare the features of these two hosting providers to determine who has more and better features overall. at the end of this video, i will give you a very special offer. if you decide to pick up bluehost or godaddy through my link below, i will give you my six figure blogger course for free as a bonus and a way of saying thank you for supporting my channel. now let's get straight into this video. pricing options: to make it fair, we are just going to compare their normal price with no extra special discount. i have done individual reviews on each hosting provider, which i will leave in the description where you can purchase it at an extra discount. once you have decided which hosting provider is right for you, let's compare the cheapest plans for each hosting providers first. this one is going to be really close. bluehost's basic plan for three years costs 2.95 per month, while godaddy's economy plan will set you back 4.50 per month. this means that bluehost is 34 cheaper. now if we compare their one year plans, it's a different story. bluehost will cost 4.95 per month, while godaddy is still 4.50. so now the tables have turned and godaddy is cheaper by nine percent. so i would say bluehost just beat out godaddy for the cheapest plans. now what about if you're more advanced and want their most expensive plans? i'll compare that for you. now things get more interesting here, where bluehost's top plan is seven percent cheaper than godaddy for three years, but for one year godaddy is now cheaper by 21. so overall you can see that the pricing comparison is super tight. both hosting companies win on certain categories and this is probably the closest price comparison test out of all the hosting providers i've done so far, i would have to declare the winner of the pricing category to be bluehost and give them the first point, as their percentage wins are bigger than godaddy. now that you know the percentage price difference, you can watch my next categories and see who offers better features and who has better performance, as the pricing factor here is pretty much the same and won't be the determining factor on which hosting providers you choose. after purchase, setup and ease of use. now let's go through and assess which hosting provider is actually easy to set up and use. bluehost has a clean looking interface and is easy to navigate through to different sections on their back end. i just have a minor issue with them in that they tend to hide some free features and easily present the paid ones instead, like for the free email account. if you navigate to the email and office tab, you won't find the free option to create emails. instead, you would have to navigate to the advanced section and create your free email account from their cpanel that way. now godaddy doesn't do this because they don't have a custom user interface like bluehost, which means that they are not as user friendly. godaddy also has a lot of upsells on their dashboard with no useful shortcut buttons or options to build out and manage your websites like bluehost does. moving on to the wordpress installation, both hosting providers give you the option for the custom one-click wordpress installation. however, i found bluehost to be slightly easier and quicker to do the install as they have a nicer user interface when doing the installation as opposed to godaddy's plain cpanel. overall, this category was fairly easy to pick the winner for. i'm definitely giving the point to bluehost here. their custom interface is much better than godaddy's standard cpanel interface and it is also easier to install and manage your wordpress website. on bluehost speed and uptime performance tests: first, let's start with a comparison of the speed performance test from the initial installation. my test results with gt metrics show bluehost to have a page load speed of 1.5 seconds, while godaddy's speed was 2.1 seconds, meaning bluehost is 29 faster right off the gate. next, i made sure to compare apples with apples by installing the same speed and image optimizer plugins and putting cloudflare on both accounts to optimize it even further. my test results show bluehost to have a page load speed now of 3.4 seconds on gt metrics, while godaddy's speed was 3.3 seconds. this means godaddy is three percent faster than bluehost. now bluehost only has one server location, which is in the united states, but godaddy has three server locations, which are in north america, europe and asia. so if your business is located outside of the united states and most of your website visitors are from other countries, then godaddy should provide a faster page load speed, which will provide your customers with a better user experience. now, if you want more details on my test or just want more in-depth review of bluehost or godaddy, you can check out the link in my description for that. the next thing we will compare is their uptime. bluehost had a perfect 100 uptime, while godaddy managed to produce a decent result of 99.977, which still passed my minimum standard of 99.95 overall. this was also really hard to score, but i gave the first close point to bluehost for pricing, so i will have to give this one to godaddy. most things were too close to call, like the page load speed, but i think the advantage of having server locations outside of the usa would suit more users, so i will have to give the point to go down here. do you like the level of detail i'm providing my comparison so far? if so, make sure to like my video and subscribe to my channel so you don't miss out on quality content like this that i release every single week support. with regards to bluehost's customer support response time, their overall average over peak and off-peak periods was lightning quick at just 30 seconds. the same cannot be said for godaddy, where their response time was around 9 minutes on average, which means they don't even pass my 5 minute minimum standard. now, in terms of staff knowledge and helpfulness, this was also a clear win for bluehost. for example, when i told both companies that i had a virus on my website and asked them to send me a malware report, bluehost was able to do this for me immediately, in around 10 minutes. but godaddy were not willing to help me at all. they kept trying to upsell me to buy their virus protection product instead. another example here was installing the ssl certificate in cloudflare. bluehost immediately accepted the challenge and took on the tasks and completed it for me without me having to touch my computer, while godaddy, on the other hand, would not do anything for me and kept telling me that cloudflare is not integrated with them, so they cannot do anything about it. this shows a clear difference on how both their support teams work, so, based on this, i would have to declare the overall winner in the customer support department to be bluehost by a long shot, and give them another point. here's a quick question for you. who are you liking more so far? bluehost, oh, godaddy, and why? let me know in the comments section below. features now, in terms of features t:

TOP 4 SHOPIFY ALTERNATIVES 2022 (Better eCommerce Platforms)

so i know a lot of people who made a ton of money with e-commerce and i feel like you're probably the same way. you probably know, or at least i've heard of a lot of people out there who made money selling things online. but presumably the reason you're watching this video is because, for one reason or another, you decided to start doing that yourself. you looked into it and you realized that shopify is really the most popular way to sell things online, whether that's drop shipping, selling your own products, retail, whatever it might be, shopify is very popular, and if you started getting involved with that, you probably realized there's a critikal flaw. there's something holding you back, one reason that you're not making money or creating your online store or whatever the next step is for you. shopify might be what's holding you back, and that's exactly what this video is about. i'm going to be toking about the top alternatives from our experience to shopify, and they could be from one of different reasons. now, the reason i didn't say exactly what the critikal flaw is- and i have a feeling that you probably thought of one in your head when i said that- the reason i didn't say it- is because for different people, there are different critikal flaws, different things holding you back from using shopify. it could be the flexibility, it could be the price, it could be the lack of seo or blogging or even templates. it doesn't matter what it might be. in this video, we're toking about four big alternatives to shopify that i can almost guarantee will fix that problem for you. so, rather than just going in order of like one through four and ranking them, stik around for the whole video, because each category is totally different. so, depending on what your needs are, one of these is going to help you succeed with e-commerce, okay. so, with that being said, let's get into the first category. this one is not anything specific, but rather just a blanket general recommendation. so if anybody comes up to me and says, hey, mike, i don't want to use shopify, but i want to sell things online, what should i use? my recommendation to them, without knowing any other information, would be bigcommerce. bigcommerce is a very easy recommendation because they offer and deliver pretty much everything shopify does as a one-to-one, but they do it slightly differently, so it's a very easy alternative. shopify. it's something that we recommend and it's something that's trusted by a lot of major brands out there, including ben and jerry's camelback skull, candy, gillette and even harvard business publishing- like there's a lot. i'll have a link in the description if you guys want to check out more about bigcommerce or see other major brands that use bigcommerce. you probably don't realize how many out there actually use them, but they're a very popular choice. for that and for other reasons as well, it's one that's very scalable in our opinion. obviously, you can see that a lot of big brands use it, but you can start off very small as well. if you just have one product listed, it's still a great way to get started in the e-commerce world. another really big benefit of bigcommerce is the search engine optimization, the seo tools. they have to help you rank on google so that somebody can search for the product, find your store and then buy it from you. it's just one of the many features that bigcommerce does really well, and even better than that. we do have a full tutorial. so if your struggle with shopify was that it was too hard or there's too many options, you can check out our tutorial below and get started today, right now, in the next hour and a half, and easily have a website ready to go, you know, by the the end of this afternoon. now next up, number two. this one is a little bit more specific. this is one that if you're, if you don't like shopify because you find that is limiting, if you find that it's too expensive, if you find the fees are too high, if you find that you're limiting yourself with how many blog posts you can have or how many plugins you can get and, granted, shopify has a lot of those apps and plugins, but really the winner here is going to be woocommerce. now woocommerce is. there's a couple layers here. i'm going to go through these. so woocommerce is a plugin on wordpress, and wordpress, as you might have heard, powers more than one third of the internet, which means that a ton of websites out there are using wordpress. there are a ton of different plugins. you can have massive blogs. i think even like the new york times, for example, is using wordpress. so when you build a website on wordpress, you have a ton of versatility, a ton of options for where it's hosted, where what your load speed is going to be, what your seo is going to look like, and just infinite versatility essentially for how you can customize your website. so the big benefit here: obviously running on wordpress is great, but woocommerce is actually a free plug-in on wordpress that allows you to sell things and really manage your store very well. once again, we do actually have a full tutorial on this. i'll link that below if you're interested. but again, just kind of highlight the the real benefits of woocommerce. first of all, it is a free plugin. second of all, you do have a major amount of versatility here where you can do anything you want on wordpress. the third thing is that you can choose your own domain host. you can get it from anywhere you want and just port it right into your host. you could host with whoever you want as well, so if you're doing sales in other countries, you can find a host that has better load speeds and servers throughout the entire world. really, the options here and and the benefits are really endless, and so i can make an entire video comparing woocommerce to shopify. if you guys want to learn more about that, leave a comment below and i'll definitely make a full comparison here. okay, and then category number three is a simpler alternative with shopify, and there's really two prongs to this one. one of them is anybody who is looking to make an online store but you don't want to go through the complexity of making a larger store. maybe you just have one or two products to sell and you want to do it as simply as possible. or the second reason you might want this is if you want to sell things online, but maybe it's not your main purpose. maybe you want to have like a podcast, but you also want to have like a merchandise store. maybe you're an influencer, a creator, and you just want to have a little merch store online. either of those reasons would lead you to squarespace, which is our number three pick right here. this is a fantastik alternative to shopify because it is very, very versatile. it's really aesthetik. you have beautiful professional websites and it's very easy to use. it's actually probably the easiest out of all of these. i would say. where it's, you know, you just set up your website, you can drag and drop, you have tons of great templates and all of this is done. you know, really in-house squarespace has a lot built into it, so you don't have to worry about setting up a lot of different things. ssl and your domain, like all of that, can tie in very easily with squarespace. so, like i said, squarespace is great for influencers. like i said, you can have podcasts hosted on here. the rss feed could be right within squarespace and i actually have a tutorial on how to do that. you can have blogs on here, you can have about me pages, really anything you want in a normal website- very easy to make with squarespace. and, again, a full tutorial on squarespace is linked below. actually, a tutorial on anything in this video is linked below, but squarespace is is very, very popular for that reason. and then, of course, the alternative, like i said, anybody who wants to sell online but you just want a smaller, simpler website. once again, squarespace is very easy to use and if you want to list a couple products, it's absolutely no problem and you can do that with almost no effort at all, of course, if you're trying to make a larger online,

👉 Bluehost vs Wix 2022 | Which Is Right for You? 💥

hello everyone, carson, here and in this video, i just want to provide a quick comparison between bluehost and wix for you now. bluehost and wix are both very popular website builders, or at least they have popular website builders in built into them. even though, tiknically, bluehost is a hosting platform and wix kind of is as well, wix focuses more on the website building, whereas bluehost focuses more on the website hosting. in this video, though, i am going to be breaking down a comparison between these two website builders, telling you which one is better for you and which one you should go with. now, before we do get into this video, though, i've got link in the description where you can check out more details about this comparison and receive special discounts depending on the one you go with. so head down there and check it out. remember to leave a like, subscribe and hit that notification bell. and now let's get right into the content. now. a lot of people want to build websites, but not many people have the tiknical knowledge to do it, because, believe me, it's not the easiest thing to get a grasp on. you've got to learn coding, you've got to learn all these different things, and it just gets really complicated, which is where website builders come into play. you really don't need any tiknical knowledge to use a website builder- it's just super straightforward and simple, and bluehost and wix both offer a variation of a website builder, so i'm going to compare them and tell you which one's better. now, wix is a very, very popular cloud-based platform that essentially lets you build a website and get your website online and up and running very, very quickly. they're extremely well known and, odds are, you've heard of them, because they have over 160 million registered users, which is not a small amount at all. you can build pretty much any type of website with wix, which is a big benefit. however, let me explain what bluehost is now. unlike wix, bluehost is not primarily a website builder. it's actually a very popular website hosting platform. bluehost offers website hosting capabilities, but they also have an inbuilt site builder that lets you build websites easily and quickly. now, with the help of the website builder that comes bundled in with each and every plan, you get a super easy drag and drop builder, full html and css control and a bunch of different features like an integrated ecommerce platform and hundreds of apps, as well as a bunch of templates. now, bluehost actually offers better customer support than wix, so i'm gonna have to give it to them there, because their customer support- they offer it really well. that is something which bluehost is very well known for is their great customer support. they offer the ability to contact them by phone, life support or a chat tiket, as well as an email if that's an option you want. bluehost is also nearly half the price of wix, which is yet another benefit, because it comes with an inbuilt website builder and is almost half the price, so you can't beat that. that really is a benefit to bluehost. they also offer unlimited data transfer, unlimited data storage, unlimited emails and allow you to host multiple domains, none of which wix offers. so, in summary, wix, although it is a very good and easy to use website builder, just, in my opinion, doesn't cut it and doesn't offer all the features at the price i would want. wix is very popular because it's so straightforward, but the problem is a lot of people haven't even tried out bluehost, so they don't know how easy and simple it can be, because i guarantee you can go on bluehost and 20 minutes later, after you've signed up, have a site up and running and ready to use. so in the end, in this comparison, i'm definitely gonna give this one to bluehost because, although they are both very good platforms in their own rights, bluehost, in my opinion, just takes it overall and just provides better service. so if you are wanting to check out bluehost, remember to head down to my link in the description because i've got it linked at a special discount. thanks for watching. remember to leave a like, subscribe and hit that notification bell and i will see you in the next video.
