*I wish I would have started my business earlier.* I was so afraid of the failure until I realised the failure is just a stepping stone to success. For anyone out there who is on the fence about their business, channel or idea, just do it. Life is too short to be afraid. 👍🏻
I have literally taken 6 full pages of notes on these 10 things. The last time I did that amount of writing was back in High School. Man, lots of value in this 16 minutes video. Thanks bro for sharing.
Love how despite your success you are still down on earth and trying to help us. Also you are one of the fews that make me discover shopify apps or new tools . Thanks so much !
Wooooow👏 this is some epic value! Some of these mistakes are way too relatable lol, the amount of money I've lost from not understanding attribution. Everyone starting out NEEEEEDS to watch this because these are the sort of things after a few years in, you look back at and realize how much money you put down the drain or left on the table. Having said that, that's part of the game, that's the price of the self en-rolled "entrepreneurs university". But a video like this will save lots of people a lot of money. Doing amazing work my bro, keep it up! Would love to see a breakdown on the OKRs and the implementation of them.🙌
I've never been to happy to come across a channel in my life. I have an idea, a better mousetrap, as they say. Im handy online and with ecom, but this is a game changer. I'm learning so much from you and it's giving me the confidence I need to launch without making some big mistakes. I have a service biz, and am selling very soon, and about to launch my passion project. See you at the top bro.
I love how Davie can breakdown everything that seems big and complicated into small easy-to-follow steps. For instance, when I did dropship 2 years ago, just the idea itself of having a team and scalling globally scared the hell out of me, but when you try to sit down and understand your business, and most importantly love what you're doing and be patient. I guess you can reach to some level like this.
Hey Davie, Thank you so much for the videos. It would be great if you can make some in-depth videos of these 10 items you mentioned! These items are a bit technical and hard to learn from. I truly appreciate the effort that you're taking to educate everyone that's trying to get into e-commerce!! THANK YOU!
Inspirational journey, Davie! Your experience in building ten million-dollar brands is invaluable. Excited to learn from your successes and pitfalls as you share your knowledge with us. Looking forward to discovering the secrets to eCommerce success through your insights!
TL;DR When do you take out profits for your own personal wealth? Hey Davie, in this and many other videos you mention cashflow is king for the success of the business. How and when do you take your personal “income” out from the business? I see time and time again that most will use e-commerce to fund their lavish lifestyles in the short term, but it’s fairly obvious to me that you’re playing the long game to see (more) success or the billion dollar mark. For example, if the group cleared $30m in profit for the FY, how much would you consider taking from the business account for your own personal investments and lifestyle? Not looking for exact figures but more of a framework for not introducing cashflow issues 😁. Would you consider doing a YT short on this topic? Thanks for all your hardwork!
Stoked you talked about attribution. Huge focus for me as a digital optimization specialist. A ton of businesses genuinely don't realize the importance.
Great video and inspiration cant wait to watch more. Very valuable as I am new and also now starting with Shopify and so its really good points and information to note. Looking forward to more valuable content.
Would love to see a video touching on how your brands avoid bans when advertising on FB! I can’t imagine you ever get bans and would be curious as to how.
When I first started, how to make money from the internet (I was not having any knowledge about e-commerce, dropshipping, affiliate, trading, or any of those online business models, but with time, and with accumulating knowledge, and consuming good quality content on youtube, and social media, I can see that success is not luck at all, it's math, it's your knowledge that make it true.
EPICNESS What you’d say to biz owners stuck on old ways of wanting more profit per item than playing margins of the whole picture? Is there a financial subject that encompasses this?
hummm, good points, another great video to learn about e-commerce business. In this video I learned about A/B split tests of pricing, product page, and of course, I will use that method on my ads as well. Also, the OKR is absolutely a great tool, I learned this at my current job and it's been helping me to set goals clearly and path down the way to work towards my goals. There are tons of things to do prior to launching a store, and OKR helps to clearify and prioritize them.
Davie, could you maybe do a video about all software tools you use in detail. I'd be interested what exactly you do with each tool. Also seo, sea, kw-finder etc. etc.
Hey, can you talks more about agreement in the next video you will make. How do we create the agreement and what to write in them especially when it come to original design that you create to prevent stealing?
Great video. Would love to see a video on protecting intellectual property. It is not talked about enough in the e-commerce space and copying/stealing is rampant.
Thanks for great content, Davie! Would be great if you could make a video on how to validate a business idea or do you have any resources I can leverage to understand how to do it properly? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the amazing video Davie! Currently working on my e-com biz. Could you please do a video on how you would go about creating your brand's website? I'm talking web design + development + copywriting. Thanks legend!
Great ideas video but I wish you explain each step more like deep dive. Product designer vs product engineer for example. So how do you express an idea, do you have an idea first? How to explain it? How would you explain? Thanks.
@@girijashanmmugam4038 That's cool! I own a small Ecom shop for about a year now, doing around 20k/month and every thing he said, is what I wished I knew from the start. His videos is really all one needs to know to get started and scale to a lot more than I'm currently doing
Another pointer; building your own social media following will save you thousands in marketing and give you more capital to spend on building a better product
On point 1, how do you use trending sounds on a business tiktok account? For me, it only gives royalty free options. Would you recommend keeping your business on a personal account so you can hop on trends and use those trending sounds? Thanks
Hey Davie thank you for this! So much value. Quick question in relation to (9:35) with cost-per-item in Shopify, how do you input the shipping cost per item here? As that cost changes based on express/standard shipping, if they buy multiple items and even their location (remote vs city)? Do you average it? Thanks!
Hey Davie, love this- just a question on protecting your designs on say like a t-shirt...how can you actually protect these designs as I know these can easily be stolen by supplier on Ali Baba. Is there a way to cheaply do this, or is it important to try and ignore it as best as you can and continue with your creativity?
It will definitely not be cheap. The cheapest to register/trademark a logo is going on $400 US --- you do the math. I can recommend not using high-resolution and large-size photos in your store and trying putting a feature where people cannot save the photos will only deter.
Thank you so much for this video, btw I wanted to know which checkout do you use on the oodie ? since the native shopify lowest price plan has a very bad checkout page, it years 10> seconds to load + we can't add trust badges etc. Thank you in advance and keep up droping amazing content !
Thank you Davie! your video has helped me so much as always. I just want to ask you on how to ensure your supplier or 3D rendering designer are not going to steal your idea? I don't think any of us will have enough money or the confidence to patent any ideas at that early stage. Is a simple agreement enough to stop the chinese suppliers from going ahead and steal your idea?
Hi Davie, when looking for products to be successful for e-commerce, do you look for things that you know you can sell at a certain price? Is it harder to make a product successful if it sells for 2010$ even if the margins are good? Where does it start to get better on average?
Hey Davie, I noticed The Oodie isn’t on Google ads. Is this because of the price? There’s lots of competitors selling cheaper knock-offs showing up on the search pages for relevant keywords, I would guess that probably hurts conversions?
taxes here in denmark are fking insane. about 40-60% - almost impossible to dropship here. if you want to success in denmark, you need to find a product that sells when dropshipping and then bulk the shit out of it. but dropshipping only is impossible.
I'm really interested if you learned most of these things yourself, or if you had a lot of mentorship. In that case, who were some of your mentors and how much did you invest/spend into them?
*I wish I would have started my business earlier.*

@ThreeTwentyTech I love your comment, so true. I allwas refer to failure as the stepping stone to success so good.
A million mistakes made, is a million lessons learnt.
I have literally taken 6 full pages of notes on these 10 things. The last time I did that amount of writing was back in High School.
Man, lots of value in this 16 minutes video. Thanks bro for sharing.
Would you mind sharing it with me via my email? I’d forever be grateful.
wanna be share it with me through email?
@@Voice0fAI bro just do it yourself😅
Love how despite your success you are still down on earth and trying to help us. Also you are one of the fews that make me discover shopify apps or new tools . Thanks so much !
I don't think people realize how valuable this information is and how it can grow your business to the next level especially for those starting out.
No, we understand it. It's implementing it is what seems to be more of the problem.
ive been hustliing since 14 and i still havent made it now that im 16 and such videos just help me alot
Dayum spent 2 hrs taking notes on this 😂😂
You rich yet or started? 😂

I can’t believe we’re getting this information for free

I truly appreciate the effort that you're taking to educate everyone that's trying to get into e-commerce!! THANK YOU!
Mind blowing how much gem you drop in this video. Genuine at its finest. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you!
This was amazing. It's really obvious to see how you have the edge above other entrepreneurs with your proactive mindset. Well done!
The way your speaking just popped on this video proves consistensy and effort is the only way to win. :O
i’m 17 and am very eager to get into drop-shipping and e-commerce. Every time i finish a video i get a huge motivation boost!
That is awesome!

Thank you Davie! My brain is about to explode right now but I guess after the 4th-5th time rewatching this it will start to make sense.
This was very helpful I’m 16 and I want to really get into Shopify and you inspired me to learn more about that
Thank you
Happy to help!
@@ambitious1z thank you for the tips, I’ll definitely watch the vid about the shopify/zendrop stack
It's adorable that you put the differentiation pronunciation thing in! Humble.
You’re such an inspiration man. I’m 15 and plan to start up an amazing brand!

Davie, could you maybe do a video about all software tools you use in detail. I'd be interested what exactly you do with each tool. Also seo, sea, kw-finder etc. etc.
Thank you for great ideas and insights!
Value bomb. I love it. Thanks Davie :)
great list Davie
Awesome video man!

This is like a healthy breakfast in the morning lol

Hey Davie, are you going to finish the original intent of the channel? Launch the business and show the success or lack there of. Cheers D
The series goes on! We just have a lot of behind-the-scenes work to do for it which takes a bit of time. :)
Thank you so much for your Videos. You have soooo many helpful videos.
Thanks for all the info

He changed it mate

That's a lot of info to digest, there must be a easier way to streamline this. Well Done Overall
No such thing as easy success :)

This my second time watching this video. You said something about SUPPLIERS NOT STEALING YOUR IDEA, please elaborate
Thank you Davie

Hi Davie do you offert some ecom service? Copyrighting, video ads, website optimization....?
Okay so what if you don't want to be on a selling platform and want an independent, stand-a-lone website?
