The Original Plan

 The Plan      Hi and welcome to my blog about starting an ecommerce store with Shopify . Not going to give a full detail intro, if you're looking for that then head over here .       Initially, our plan was to create an e-commerce store that would cater to broad range of niches. But the more I started to think about it, the harder it became to find ideas. So, I decided to go with a simpler approach where I would just create a simple store, that is the focus of my time here on this blog is to let you know the steps taken to get customgear.shop going.       I am planning to share more on that in the coming weeks. Let me know in any case if you have any questions because I would love to answer.

Intro  Hey there, I would like to thank you for reading this. This blog is going to be about  the journey of starting an eCommerce shop and the "business model" of drop  shipping.  Regretfully I didn't start this blog at the beginning of this which is highly  recommended for anyone starting something online. I am going to be telling you  about when I started a shop on Shopify . Once I have you all caught up then every night, I plan to write a post on here often. Keeping you up to date with what is going on. I have started other blogs but took a  "break" from them and never really go back. But I'll do my best with this blog!     Figured a great way to make money online would be by opening an eCommerce  shop after so many attempts with many other things. Started looking into it and  came up that Shopify would be the best bet for starting out. The platform has  many good qualities about them. One of them is that they have an integration  process with many othe
