How to I send my stored to friend they can’t find my shopyfy store on google what do I do please
How is the growth of the store? Its a year now
Great video, however facebook is against small businesses. They always ban your ad account and without telling you why. After a week of review, they will then reactivate it. They do this process almost every week.
my account is banned looolllll. struggling to advertise my website.
@@arturogarcia7707 sorry for that, its just so frustrating.😥
Wow I didn't know that. Thanks. I would not waste my time with them then. However, instagram and google ads does the job for me. Especially Google Ads. As their lowest fees for generating traffic is 3. 98 euro. The higher you go the more traffic.
So I’m not the problem they’ve banned me after 1 day I didn’t get a chance to do anything lol
Facebook Business Suite is also very convoluted, clunky, and just annoying to use
This most definitely earned my subscription 🙌. Super insightful ❤👏.
We're glad you found the video helpful!
To attract customers, you need to take into account many nuances!
Really beneficial , loved it
Hi, when I'm lounging my store can you be my tour guide if that's the word.

Do u still check others stores?
How do you buy and sell, can you do in this order:
1. Launched your online store
2. A customer buys from you
3. You buy the product
4. You sell it to the customer
or do you have to buy the product first?
Hi Rabenius, you can sell the product to the customer through the online store and then place an order with your vendor to provide the product. If you are outsourcing your products and having the vendor ship it to the customer on your behalf then you are using what we refer to as a "dropshipping" service. If that is the type of business you are interested in starting then our Blog is a great resource: bit.ly/3sOirMd.
Hello Bali give me a heart ❤️ if I can still post my link.
Hey ma 😍

What if you’re getting great website traffic (~150/day) for several months from Facebook ads, but no sales?

There are a number of reasons people might not be buying from you. You should look at your Shopify and Google Analytics to make a more informed guess based on how your traffic behaves.
If you have a high bounce rate-that is, visitors coming to your site and leaving immediately-your traffic might be low quality or your store might take too long to load.
If none of your visitors added products to their cart, it might be that you haven’t achieved market fit, in which case you need to find the right niche or try different products.
If you have a lot of abandoned carts during checkout, maybe you need to reconsider your shipping costs.
The problem could also be with the design and user experience of your online store, or with the copy on your website.

I want to make get a Shopify store but first I’m gathering information on the steps I need to take. What legal things do I need have before I can get a store?
Hey, there. We do have a video segment in our How to Start an Ecommerce Business (A Complete Blueprint) that covers the most important steps in making your business legal: ua-cam.com/video/4pWi9N5Obzs/v-deo.html. We aren't able to provide legal advice, so we recommend reaching out to your local legal authority for more information.
I'm starting to think I've made a mistake and wasted my money in creating my store, I am absolutely trash in marketing and sales. I should have thought about this since I've worked in sales before and I sucked smh...
Hello, I am creating a website Thanks to you, however I want to run a small business, and the state of Kansas doesn't register DBA online stores. Am I going to be able to open my store with shopify? If I just get a certificate from Kansas? the certificate allows me to charge taxes to all US buyers.
Can we discuss more about this
Hi Michelle, I have a question how do I get my cosmetics product to an influencer for free to get some exposure for my brand?
Hi there Javion! I'd recommend checking out Shopify Collabs if you want to connect with influencers who can market your products: shopify.link/8D6w
You make the best shopify coded Michelle!! The hardest thing for me is shipping? What go charge? I want to do a loyalty shooing but I’m not sure what to offer and I’m thinking free shipping on all orders over 35$ but should I. I not sell backpacks and stuff? Also, it takes so long to get the order from pro tuck will people want to buy if they have to wait 1-2 weeks to get it?
Great questions! Finding a balance between shipping times and cost is certainly a balancing act. My best piece of advice would be to experiment with different shipping costs to determine that sweet spot where it's not too expensive or cheap for the customer. One thing you can do is offer lower shipping costs, and bake the cost of shipping into your product's pricing. That way the customer doesn't feel they are paying an unnecessary amount for shipping, and your new product price helps cover the lower cost. - Dirk
I have a product I want to advertising product pls
