and click start free trial go ahead and type in your email and create a password i recommend creating a brand new gmail account as it is easier to keep all your business stuff in one place instead of cluttering it in with your personal emails and create your store name and honestly this part doesn't really matter because You can always go back and change the name and purchase a new domain name later so for now i'm just going to call this nathan's first store not actually my first store but that's what we're calling it shopify is going to go ahead and ask you a few questions whether you're just starting out or if you're already selling what you can do is just go ahead and skip this entire part as it's not super Necessary in the beginning and you don't really need to answer those questions however you do need to put in your country and then hit enter my store so if you made it to this part you actually made it farther than 99 of people who say they're gonna start an online business you now have your own dashboard and storefront with shopify so the home page here is basically going to prompt you to complete a bunch of steps in order to get your store up and running Next thing we have an orders tab over here which is going to track and manage all the orders that are going to be coming through later the next one we have products where you're going to be managing the different products and inventory that you have the customer tab where you're gonna control everything that's customer related in one single place analytics where you're gonna see the daily view you know how much you're making your average order value Conversion rates all that important stuff a marketing channel we're going to keep track of all the different ways you're marketing on your store discount codes if you want to make unique discount codes for certain people to shop and lastly but most importantly the online store sales channel itself where you're going to be creating the website choosing the theme adding blog posts if that's what you want creating other pages like a contact us and a track your Order page making the navigation menus and the footer menus different preferences about your store and just before we jump into actually building a store i do want to run you through just the most important things that you should fix up on your settings so the first thing over here in store details you want to change the currency to usd i mean 90 of my customers i would say come from the united states and if you're on the Same boat i would recommend having your currency set to usd [Music] and just go ahead and click save besides that you can start to fill out your billing information so they can bill you eventually when you get off of the free trial you can start to set up staff accounts if you're working on this business with somebody else you can start to set up your bank account so that they can actually pay you when you Make orders and beyond that there's not a whole lot that we need to do in the very beginning in the settings so now it's time to find our first product so that we can actually start making some sales down here you'll notice this section called apps you just want to come over here and click add apps it'll take you straight to the shopify app store if you click the link at the bottom and this is where you want to be to go ahead and get An app that allows you to import a product in one click now oberlo was a big app that allowed you to do this before i'm not even too sure it's still on the shopify app store no it's not in fact it's been completely removed and this is the best way for beginners to get started was to use oberlo and one click add a product from aliexpress to their store but with oberlo gone we need an alternative and deezers is actually partnered with oberlo to kind of pick up And take over where oberlo left off but good news for you is that deezers is actually a whole lot more complete and allows you to automate so many more tasks that oberlo just didn't have the functionalities for the first thing you want to do is go ahead and click on this app and then just click add app and it's going to give you again a 14 day free trial so you don't have to spend any money out of your pocket go ahead and click install app And then it's going to prompt you to a page where you need to create an account for yourself now don't get scared away by the 499 per month enterprise plan as all we need right now is the basic free plan and just go ahead and click get started the next thing is that we need to go ahead and link teasers to aliexpress so if you just click this logo right here it's going to take us right through to aliexpress and ideally you want to Already have an account set up if you don't it's super quick and easy to make an account on aliexpress just click authorize and then you're going to get this little support bot and obviously what we want to do at this point is start importing products and figuring out which products we want to sell on our store it's going to take you through a really quick guide but i don't really need to see any of this because i'm going to show you guys exactly what To do right now all right so diesels is automatically integrated with aliexpress if you're unfamiliar with aliexpress it's basically a wholesale platform where suppliers are listing up products typically from china though you can find suppliers in the us as well if you're looking for faster shipping which i'd recommend and it's going to give you tons of different product recommendations of products that are currently selling well For other drop shippers so as you can see these are tons of great problem solving products like this back stretcher right here or this pet dog toy that's apparently good for their teeth when they're chewing it or this makeup pen right here i'm going to go ahead and select a product given what i already know about products but if you guys are interested in a full guide on product research and how to select your first product for drop shipping you want to Click this link somewhere around here i'll add the full guide blog up at the top so i've decided to go with this bluetooth sleeping headphone sport band and basically what this allows you to do is listen to music on your way to sleep or listen to sounds that help you go to sleep and it wraps your head really nicely and it feels soft and super seamless as almost as if it's not even there but it also plays music out of the Sides right on your ears so seems like a great problem-solving product for people who are having difficulties going to sleep and it comes in two different color variations for about 12 usd at its wholesale price from this particular supplier which has tons of five-star reviews tons of orders and overall seems like a solid bet so from the product right here i'm just going to click add to import list And then i'm just going to click go to import list and check and as simple as this all i have to do is click on this button that says push to shopify and then click ok so as simple as this all i have to do is click on this select box here that says push to shopify and then click on the button now it's going to ask me which stores i want to publish it to since i only have one store right now which is nathan's first store to show you guys How i created i'm just going to go ahead and select that and then click also publish to online store and then finally push to shopify now if we go back over to our shopify store and we click on products we should be able to see that the product is right here on our storefront it's going to automatically go ahead and add all the different images straight from the listing on aliexpress and all the different specifications of the product as well as Some of the images they used on their product page it's a pretty solid start if you ask me and that was all done in literally 30 seconds now if we go back to deezers eventually you can come here and you can see all of your different products you can see your open orders with your customers you can go ahead and find other suppliers for your product to make sure you're getting the best price and the fastest shipping and the highest product quality and so much more so Jesus is a great all-in-one tool but anyways before we start working on the product page the next thing we want to do is go over to the online store section and start customizing our storefront now it's going to give you a pre-built theme dawn is a pretty good theme and it's completely free with shopify however you can select a different one if you are interested but i'm just going to go ahead and customize this existing theme So as you guys can see right out of the box it's pretty basic we just have the product here on the store we have a bunch of blank templates added and we have a couple different pages one of them being catalog which is going to show us the product that we added to the store and then we have a contact page already built into the theme as well which is going to give customers a super easy place to go ahead and file a ticket with you if they need any type of Support before we work on the product page i just want to customize the homepage a bit and if you guys want a more in-depth full walkthrough of how i build custom-made stores i'll leave a link somewhere around here as well but now that we know our store is in the sleepwear niche we can start selecting images that correspond with that so if we click on this initial image banner over here on the left side which is this top part highlighted in blue then we can Go over to the right side and we can start customizing it the first thing that we need is an initial image so if we click select image it's going to take us to the shopify free image library which is a great place to get images also there's other free websites such as pixels or you can even find images of the product on aliexpress as well but i'm just going to look up sleep and then i'm going to go ahead and click one that i feel corresponds to the product so you Can see somebody here in their bed well rested it looks like and i think i'm just gonna use this from there you can play around with the opacity the height of the banner different color schemes and such but i think that looks pretty good to start so then i'm going to start building out the text [Music] simple benefit driven text is all you need sleep like a baby our sleep band is designed to help you fall asleep even in The presence of loud noise and light so our homepage is already coming together now you can see it has this next little section where we can go ahead and talk about our brand let's give ourselves a little mission statement here our mission our mission is to help you get the rest that you deserve now i don't really like this featured products section here because there's a lot of white space on the right side so What i'm going to do is i'm going to remove this featured collection that already comes with the theme and i'm going to go ahead and add section and i'm going to type in product then i'm going to click on featured product and it's going to give me this right here and all i have to do is select product on the right side to the product that we already have and look how much better and cleaner that is you have the main product photos on the Left side here you have the name of the product price the buttons for them to go ahead and add it to their cart or purchase it right then and there and i just think that's pretty much all you need and i'll show you why when we get into the landing page section which is where all of our traffic is going to land on they're not actually going to come to our home page anyway so i'm just going to go ahead and save that right there and now i'm just going to start Building out some extra text that makes sense with the product up here to help boost conversions and show people why they should buy this product boom so that looks pretty good fall asleep to sounds the amazon rainforest having trouble falling asleep try playing your favorite nature sounds so comfortably forget it's even there our sleep band is designed with ultra lightweight material with an extra focus on comfort and breathability so for now I think that's pretty good for the homepage and now it's time that we focus on the juice which is actually going to be the product page so all you have to do is click exit over here and then go back to products click on the product here's where we can start customizing this and i'm going to change the name to something a lot simpler and cleaner i'm going to call this the sleep band 2. 0 and i just add the 2.
0 to kind of give the feel that it's the Next generation
it's the next iteration on the product as many people who are selling this are
probably also calling it the sleep band because it seems like a name that just
fits with the product now as far as the product page goes we want to compile
all this information in a way that's appealing to the customer in a way that
will actually drive them to go ahead and make that purchase you want to show
the customer clear benefits as to why they should buy your product And what
they'll gain from it and you want to do so in a very clean and minimalistic way
nobody wants to read hoards of paragraphs or look through hundreds of images
just to make the decision on whether or not they should buy your product a
couple clean images and gifts and a few punch lines that really hit home with
the consumer is all you need for copywriting perfect so all i did was add a
couple punch lines in between some of the main Photos here and i made it make
sense with the photo so when i was talking about the battery life i then talked
about the battery life when i was talking about the comfort i talked about the
comfort when it was talking about using it for working out and for other
purposes i talked about just that as well and the next step is to scroll down
over here and make sure that all the product photos are pretty good for now
this Looks pretty good straight off the listing so i'm happy with this and if i
continue to scroll down here's where we can choose the price point for each
variant so if i go to edit i can select the price that i want to sell this at
and i think for this product given that we're getting it for about 12 a 3x
markup or around there is pretty good so i'm going to go in with 39. 99 as the
price point and i'm going to set that for both of them Now another thing that
you can do by clicking edit on each one of the products is you can select a
compare at price to run different types of offers and stuff like that so if i'm
selling the product for 40 and i want to convince the customers to buy it by
telling them they're getting a 50 off sale what i can do here is i can come and
i can make the compare at price 79. 99 and i'm going to do that for the same
variant the gray one as well [Music] and bingo so there we have the product
page is looking pretty good and now we can go take a look on how it looks on
the mobile view to make sure that it's up to par both for people who are coming
on their desktop and for people who are coming onto our website using an iphone
to do that just go back over to online store make sure that you click save at
the top right to save all your progress I almost forgot to do that if we go
back to the online store and hit customize we can check out how everything's
coming together all right so now if we click on catalog and we click on the
sleep band 2.
0 product that we just finished creating we can see how the
web page is going to look we can see the price and there you go there's the
compare app price for 80 that's crossed out you can see the two different
variants of the product when you click on each one each Different product photo
will appear and if you scroll down you can see all the different images and the
text that we used for the product as well now though i probably could spend a
lot more time deciding how i want to lay out the photos and which photos i want
to use i'm already seeing a couple duplicate photos i won't worry about that
too much right now because there's something more important that actually needs
our attention on the product page which is Going to be getting reviews or
testimonials that's going to help build a lot of social proof and trust with
your customers and it's going to be the missing piece on what pushes them over
the edge in many cases so if i just hit save and then leave the website editor
i can go back to the main shopify section where i can then select a new app
that's going to allow me to import reviews easily with one click now there are
tons of good review apps that are completely Free i usually start with a
reviews it's a pretty solid free review app right here and all you have to do
is click on it and click add app all right so it's going to take you to this
page here where you can start a tour on how to use the app because i already
know i'm going to go ahead and click skip and show you guys instead and now it's
going to take you to this page basically all we have to do is go back to the
aliexpress page of the product And then paste it into the top where it says
find your products because this product already had tons of reviews on it
that's exactly what we're looking for so once we get to this page all we gotta
do is click on reviews and click import reviews and it's gonna take us over to
this page right here and it knows exactly the product that we have on the
website right now so if we just go back to aliexpress copy the link of the
product and again this one already has Tons of reviews so it's exactly what
you're looking for and then you want to paste it in here and click import it's
going to give you some parameters on exactly what you want to import i'm going
say uh four and five stars and above and translate all comments to english and
then go ahead and click submit so now if we go back to our product page we
should see the reviews are showing up let's go back to customize Catalog and
then click on the product itself we scroll at the bottom we can already see
tons of reviews now if we do want to add more reviews you might have to get on
a pay plan with a reviews i think it's like 9. 99 a month and you can have
unlimited reviews and stuff like that but in the beginning this is all you need
a solid review section with a few different testimonials and hopefully some
good reviews that actually show Images of the product like these ones that we
have right here now the next step of the store is we need to do a little bit of
management with logo uh the menus just overall make things look a lot more
clean and branded so if we go exit again and we go over to the navigation
section here's where we can start editing the main menu so right now we have
this home catalog and contact because we only have one product on our store
that we're selling right Now i don't think a catalog is entirely necessary so
i'm just gonna go ahead and remove that and instead i'm gonna add a product
page that i'm just going to call shop now and it's going to take us directly to
the link to go ahead and purchase that product so if we just click on the sleep
band 2.
