00:00:00	00:00:03	in this video I'm gonna answer the
00:00:01	00:00:04	question for you what is Shopify and why
00:00:03	00:00:05	do you keep hearing about it why do you
00:00:04	00:00:08	keep hearing about all these people
00:00:05	00:00:10	making a ton of money off I made you
00:00:08	00:00:12	know five thousand dollars in one day on
00:00:10	00:00:14	Shopify and all these different crazy
00:00:12	00:00:15	things that you're hearing so the answer
00:00:14	00:00:17	to what is Shopify it's basically a
00:00:15	00:00:19	website you can go to and you can build
00:00:17	00:00:22	an e-commerce store you can build an
00:00:19	00:00:24	online store and they'll also host it
00:00:22	00:00:26	for you now if you're looking at
00:00:24	00:00:27	potentially signing up for Shopify I do
00:00:26	00:00:29	have a special offer at the end of this
00:00:27	00:00:31	video with a link that you can get a
00:00:29	00:00:33	free one-on-one consulting session with
00:00:31	00:00:36	me but let's first go in depth a little
00:00:33	00:00:38	bit more on what is Shopify why is it so
00:00:36	00:00:39	special are you gonna get rich quick are
00:00:38	00:00:41	you gonna make a million dollars
00:00:39	00:00:44	overnight the short answer is probably
00:00:41	00:00:46	not I mean it's not a get-rich-quick
00:00:44	00:00:49	scheme it's not anything that it's just
00:00:46	00:00:51	a place for you to build an online store
00:00:49	00:00:52	a place for you do you know build
00:00:51	00:00:53	something where people can purchase
00:00:52	00:00:56	things from you now just because you
00:00:53	00:00:57	build it does not mean they will come a
00:00:56	00:00:59	lot of people think that all I'm gonna
00:00:57	00:01:01	build an online store and I'm gonna get
00:00:59	00:01:03	you know I'm gonna make thousands and
00:01:01	00:01:04	thousands of dollars no just because you
00:01:03	00:01:06	have some website doesn't mean anybody
00:01:04	00:01:09	cares you need to still get traffic to
00:01:06	00:01:10	that website and that's actually 99% of
00:01:09	00:01:13	the game so if you're thinking about
00:01:10	00:01:15	starting an online store yes Shopify is
00:01:13	00:01:16	amazing I'm gonna show you some Shopify
00:01:15	00:01:18	websites and we show you a little bit of
00:01:16	00:01:20	what the backend looks like in just a
00:01:18	00:01:22	second just give you a little bit more
00:01:20	00:01:23	information but yeah if you're thinking
00:01:22	00:01:25	about building a Shopify website do I
00:01:23	00:01:27	think it's a good idea yeah if you want
00:01:25	00:01:29	to be a little entrepreneurial yes
00:01:27	00:01:32	absolutely do it but the way I think
00:01:29	00:01:33	about it is so Shopify is $30 a month at
00:01:32	00:01:35	least their most their basic plans three
00:01:33	00:01:37	hours a month think about it it's like
00:01:35	00:01:39	paying a fee to go to the gym you're
00:01:37	00:01:42	going to the entrepreneurial gym here
00:01:39	00:01:44	you're learning so if you pay out $30 a
00:01:42	00:01:46	month and you don't have any success
00:01:44	00:01:50	well you're paying a fee you're paying a
00:01:46	00:01:52	fee for being lazy but that money can
00:01:50	00:01:55	actually make you a lot more money I've
00:01:52	00:01:57	I just launched a new Shopify store for
00:01:55	00:02:00	one of my new companies here and I made
00:01:57	00:02:02	in the first like few like the first
00:02:00	00:02:04	week or two I made $5,000 you know
00:02:02	00:02:06	easily and that's not always gonna be
00:02:04	00:02:08	the case I did a lot of work leading up
00:02:06	00:02:11	to launching the Shopify site but that
00:02:08	00:02:13	being said Shopify allows you to sell
00:02:11	00:02:13	things online that's the most simple
00:02:13	00:02:15	form
00:02:13	00:02:16	let's take a look at what a Shopify
00:02:15	00:02:18	store is and what the backend looks like
00:02:16	00:02:21	so you have a better idea of exactly
00:02:18	00:02:22	what Shopify is this is the performance
00:02:21	00:02:24	and up on our website and I actually
00:02:22	00:02:26	built this website and pretty much got
00:02:24	00:02:28	everything started in just four minutes
00:02:26	00:02:30	you can click the link up here to see it
00:02:28	00:02:33	doesn't take long with Shopify to build
00:02:30	00:02:35	it and that's why Shopify has become so
00:02:33	00:02:36	popular it's very intuitive very easy to
00:02:35	00:02:38	understand so let's just poke around
00:02:36	00:02:41	here so this is the home page a little
00:02:38	00:02:42	banner if we open that up I'll show you
00:02:41	00:02:46	what that looks like in a second all
00:02:42	00:02:48	this very quick I did this all very
00:02:46	00:02:49	quickly obviously writing the copy takes
00:02:48	00:02:51	a little bit of time and then the
00:02:49	00:02:52	product page and I have all these
00:02:51	00:02:54	different images and just basically
00:02:52	00:02:56	repeated the same thing I have on the
00:02:54	00:02:59	home page and then there's some other
00:02:56	00:03:01	stuff at the bottom you'll see another
00:02:59	00:03:04	affiliate program contact best returns
00:03:01	00:03:06	all very basic stuff very easy to set
00:03:04	00:03:07	ups this is what the the front end looks
00:03:06	00:03:09	like this is what the customers see the
00:03:07	00:03:11	back end how you actually set it up is
00:03:09	00:03:13	here and once again in that link where I
00:03:11	00:03:15	show how I built the website I go into
00:03:13	00:03:17	much more detail on this
00:03:15	00:03:19	so today I've only had 27 dollars in
00:03:17	00:03:20	sales and only 13 visitors but I'm
00:03:19	00:03:22	recording this pretty early in the
00:03:20	00:03:26	morning so that's part of the reasons
00:03:22	00:03:28	for that but we poke around here and I
00:03:26	00:03:30	can I can go here up to the products for
00:03:28	00:03:31	instance and look at some of the
00:03:30	00:03:32	different products now I only have one
00:03:31	00:03:34	product so it's basically a repeat of
00:03:32	00:03:37	the same thing this is just in different
00:03:34	00:03:42	tests that I've done this is my main
00:03:37	00:03:44	product and this is what you saw with it
00:03:42	00:03:48	on the product page so that's this
00:03:44	00:03:49	controls this page here I'm about to
00:03:48	00:03:52	show you
00:03:49	00:03:54	but it's just the description you put
00:03:52	00:03:57	some images in very easy to use and I'm
00:03:54	00:03:59	going fast here because this video is
00:03:57	00:04:01	not a tutorial video the other video up
00:03:59	00:04:04	here is actually I have a full tutorial
00:04:01	00:04:05	video I'll link up here including in
00:04:04	00:04:08	addition to the four-minute video I have
00:04:05	00:04:10	the full tutorial up there but this page
00:04:08	00:04:12	this product page I just I could change
00:04:10	00:04:14	things here if I change this title here
00:04:12	00:04:17	it would change it right there if I
00:04:14	00:04:20	change the price over down here it would
00:04:17	00:04:22	change the price pretty intuitive and
00:04:20	00:04:27	then it's got analytiks as well where
00:04:22	00:04:30	you can see what's going on so in the
00:04:27	00:04:32	last 90 days you can see most my sales
00:04:30	00:04:34	came in this period did over five
00:04:32	00:04:36	thousand dollars really to put that much
00:04:34	00:04:38	effort in but that's because I know what
00:04:36	00:04:40	I'm doing with marketing I'm not saying
00:04:38	00:04:41	you'll have the same success by any
00:04:40	00:04:44	means but that's Shopify that's what the
00:04:41	00:04:46	website looks like very easy to use so
