[04:19] page shipping policy return policy order tracking and everything you need to look like a legitimate business and obviously you're going to want to customize this store a little bit more just by changing the store name the logo maybe some of

[04:31] do that just by going back to the Shopify dashboard just click online store click customize and as an example let's just scroll down and change our shipping policy so now that you are in the

[04:45] customization area click on the shipping policy box and on the right hand side you'll see where you can change whatever you want so like for example instead of one to two business days we can change ours to 3 to five business days and

[04:59] that's all set you can just read through everything here and you can make any other changes you want here so once you're done with the changes just click on Save and again you can use this customization just play around with it a

[05:12] actually making it yours you can change the colors here the logo whatever you you guys how to pick a business name and get a free logo in step three of this tutorial so now after just doing some customization changes in this system you

[05:27] more professional with our logo and our name and now our store is good to go now just to make sure that our online store is live this is really important just click on online store and Shopify go to preferences scroll down and make sure

[05:41] you just turn off the password protection on the store so now your store can go Fully live if you don't do this people will actually have to have a password to get into your store to even see it so just make sure that's off step

[05:54] number two now I'm going to help you guys find winning products for your online store so first of all what makes a winning product I always say it's 25% the product 75% how you Market it so here are four questions you need to ask

[06:08] yourself as you are looking for products to sell do you have basic knowledge this product have a wow factor of some kind what problem does this product solve and how can this product improve somebody's life so these are the four

[06:22] back of your mind as you are looking through these products with me today the products that you sell will make or break your business so there's two ways to go about doing this you can either search on platforms like AliExpress or

[06:34] even Alibaba to find suppliers there or you can use an all-in-one platform like autods if you decide to go the AliExpress route you can find a product filtering through the search and then to add it to your store you're going to

[06:48] manually copy and paste the listing over to your own store under the ad products tab in Shopify or you can use an all the one app like autods which gives you the ability to source and get super fast shipping times for any product you want

[07:01] platform there's three main product research sections that they have here that I use for my own product research which is the handpick products ads byy products tab is where you can find all the products autods has available and

[07:17] of different categories and the autods team actually updates these daily which search down by country price range and shipping button which will show you the products with the fastest shipping times

[07:31] and some of these products have crazy fast shipment times around 2 days they also update this daily so you can always find new products being added here so you're interested in you can scroll down and you'll see all the data which gives

[07:44] product shows you what the profit of the product is who the target audience is and even shows competitors that are selling it right now and this is the ad spy tool which is a tool that gets you to be able to oversee active Tik Tok and

[07:58] content that's performing well in the platform by using this feature you get insights on what's trending there and it gives you inspiration for your own products as well autods also automates your entire online store for you so once

[08:12] your product straight to the buyer without you having to actually do anything extra on your end and you are able to fully set this up through autods another option this system has is product customization meaning you can

[08:25] here and by doing this this adds even more value Val to the actual products and grows your brand I did put the link in my bio for autods you can sign up their autods with that link and get an entire month free if you do it on your

[08:39] do it through my link in my description box you'll be able to get an entire month free I got you guys so you can really spend your time going through adding them to your store and just spending some time doing some product

[08:52] research yourself and remember those four questions always keep those in the back of your mind you'll actually notice too that autod DS is with in this AI store Builder funnel so you can actually sign up directly through autods through

[09:04] also notice there's already products AI store Builder so these products are added through autods already for you so you can already see which ones were handpicked based on the niche that you

[09:17] picked so those are ready to go if you want to use them you can just simply your store funnel and then you'll be able to keep those winning products so you're literally all set to go so if you go to amazon.com click up here on best

[09:29] sellers then click movers and shakers which usually is more trending and unique products here and then we manually go through these if you click actually show you how many people purchased this specific product in the

[09:44] past month so for example look at this deep tissue massager product it has over deep tissue massager product it has over 30,000 sales in the past month and at $40 this means that the seller is earning over a millionar in sales

[09:59] per month so we can clearly see that we found a great product that's making a lot of money each month so then at this point head back into autods to find a manufacturer that then sells this product or a similar product so we can

[10:12] head back into autods and just search for deep tissue massage to see if we can find a similar product and look here's a few of them right here so let's click on this product on autods and this product costs around $30 including fast shipping

[10:28] through the supplier if you search Google for this product you can see on average it's being sold between $7 to $200 so we are already on to step number three which is branding your store you want to set up your job shipping store

[10:43] for long-term success and this happens with the power of branding in my opinion the first step to branding is actually picking a niche when you pick a niche store in the same Niche there's horrible advice out there that you should start a

[10:57] bunch of random products in a store and then promoting each one individually brand and you are not setting yourself up for long-term success so please do not do that pick a niche before you actually get started I know you guys

[11:12] guide that you can use to help you pick your Niche and of course all I ask in hit that like button if you haven't already and subscribe to the channel another important thing is your domain name now Shopify does give you a free

[11:27] right away to promote your store with which I'll show you how to do in a second and you want your online store to look even more official with a proper domain name getting a custom domain will

[11:39] be worth it and is also very affordable to do you can think of it as like your own ID on the internet for example Rihanna has ran. store Shopify uses shopify.com and behance is behance.net so you can notice the end of these links

[11:52] so you can notice the end of these links it's this part like store.com or.net is the domain name and it sets each website apart I personally am creating all of my it just makes the most sense for an online store even Mr Beast Cristiano

[12:06] Ronaldo and a million others are doing the same thing because really it just makes sense you're actually able to get two times more visibility on Google just by using store in your domain and just by using a DOT store domain it even

[12:18] gives you access to discounts up to $2,500 on even more e-commerce tools like Wix ship station Vista Print mailchip and so many more you can really get your domain from anywhere you can actually buy it through Shopify name

[12:31] cheep has them GoDaddy is one that I use but I actually did do some digging and I you can get a DOT store domain for only 99 Cents for your first year I put the box down below for you guys as well for your convenience and you can use this

[12:47] code Isabella store when checking out so go to business name generator and type in whatever you think is going to be good for you in this case we're going to type in gifts and let's just see what comes up we can also try row so you can

[13:02] see here in seconds they generated so many different names for you so you can go to zara.com for this I've been using this one forever and I use this for so many different things so you're going to just type in your business name here and

[13:15] just click on create your free logo then just tell them what your logo is for and you can then click choose icons for me so you can see they have tons of different logos here for you to choose from when you find the one that you like

[13:29] just click on it and just click customize icon it'll then bring you to this like editor page where you can switch things up to whatever you like so what I personally like to do is I do like to turn down the margins here and I

[13:45] like to actually make this as big as I can and I'm just going to increase the size a little bit of this when you were done you can just type in your email here or screenshot it and it will send you a free download of this logo step

[13:59] number four now let's get sales for your online store first option most people tell you buy ads second option that personally made me a millionaire within a few years organic marketing my recommendation to you is to 100% learn

[14:13] about organic marketing even if you buy ads you still need a good ad you still need the actual videos and content to use for that ad so it's the same amount except with ads you also need a big budget too and I didn't have that when I

[14:28] don't listen to anybody that will tell you to spend thousands of dollars in ads how people are out here telling and recommending that do not do it and I thousands of dollars on ads and they've made nothing so be very careful who you

[14:43] listen to guys marketing is the most critical part of your journey and this is actually where people stop and fail so what is organic marketing basically it's whatever you get through free real traffic through social media and before

[14:56] followers how am I I going to do that you can start with zero followers social media is not now what it was 10 years ago you can start a fresh page and these social media platforms nowadays give everybody a equal chance to actually go

[15:11] viral and get the views you just have to put out the right types of content that will end up getting pushed out and actually performing well for your businesses which will then grow your business organically build an entire

[15:24] lasts up until the next 10 years and more and you you don't have to spend a penny on advertisements this is a skill you can learn just like any other skill

[15:36] input into this video some marketing hacks and how to actually film content for your products so I will add that in right now if you are serious about your faster than you trying to do it by yourself definitely make sure you join

[16:04] spots are filled and not only does your strategies have to be on point but your mindset has to be on point too you have to prepare yourself to have some many times but I learned from every single failure growing any online

[16:17] business from scratch takes patience but it's never been an easier time to when I restarted my online business journey I literally had no sales the first month and I almost gave up myself but because I continued to just try

[16:30] to just keep going every single day and I was a full-time student back then and but I still made it happen my second month because of one viral post I had a $20,000 month and again I started these accounts from scratch from zero

[16:45] family for help because I genuinely love than family and friends but that's for another video so I do want to go over some common question and answers for you guys so a lot of you guys ask me

[16:58] do I need an LLC to start so I'm not a lawyer this is not legal advice but a lot of you guys ask me certain questions and I'm just going to share what I have personally done again this is not legal advice so a lot of you guys ask me about

[17:11] LLC so I personally did not have an LLC when I first started I just signed more used my social and I waited until I started making consistent money before I legalized anything because the most

[17:24] this goes into the same questions that you guys always ask me about taxes you guys are always so scared of taxes and sales taxes and all these things again with any of it if you don't make money so just make your first dollar online

[17:37] first then you can start researching this and guess what I actually have an entire video all about how I personally do my taxes on my YouTube channel so you can refer to that video and I go over more of this in depth for you guys there

[17:51] but again the most important thing is just getting started and to not dwell on these questions again you guys already know my YouTube channel is your number one source for 100% free education in courses all you ask in exchange for the
