 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 other platforms. 

Which opens up many other sales channels and opportunities!

Also, they have support available 24/7 which is VERY helpful for someone who is

 going at this kind of blind.


  Shopify has a VERY affordable option to start with, especially being on a

 limited budget. 


It is highly recommended on taking a few courses before starting this. The reason

 for that is I didn't and am highly regretting it.  


When I first opened the shop, a developer randomly got a hold of me and offered

 to develop custom gear. 

Let him know that I did NOT have funds available to pay him but he was very

 persistent.
     

Thought ok but eventually there is going to be something he wanted so why not?

 Also had a few who were interested in joining in on this "business venture". 

Well after a little success and now nothing everybody decided to walk out. 

But still remaining hopeful, I'm still here trying every day, all day. 

Try so hard, every day sitting in front of this computer and working on Custom

Gear that it is starting to take a toll on my relationships, health, and everything

 else involved in life. 

To get something amazing, one must sacrifice, right?

New Years!

 Hi, the new year is upon us and that can be an exciting time for some but in this post, you'll  understand what has been going on with both custom and the new site that was just started!  Custom Gear was and is a great start into online Entrepreneurship . Learning every day still, with both  marketing and Shopify 's updates keeps one on their toes. But with the experience of running an e- commerce shop and seeing the potential of makings decided to buy another shop but have it already  set up. It is neither a niche nor sub-niche shop which is what custom gear is being thought of turning  it to.  Still up, almost 24 hours working on the new store . Luckily it was bought and already all the products  were already equipped in it. Now just needs some fine-tuning but again it is not a niche site yet. So will  post again, soon and often just to keep you up to date on things! Until then, just working and a** off on these ecommerce   shop...

What Is Ecommerce?

  What Is Ecommerce? "Ecommerce" is a term used to describe the buying and selling of goods or services online. It stands for "electronic commerce," and it has become an increasingly popular way for individuals and businesses alike to purchase and sell products and services. Ecommerce can take many forms, such as a company selling products directly through their website, a online marketplace like Amazon, or even a social media platform like Facebook or Instagram. One of the key benefits of ecommerce is convenience. Consumers can shop from the comfort of their own homes, and businesses can sell products or services to customers across the globe. This can lead to increased sales and revenue for businesses, while offering consumers more choices and competitive pricing. However, ecommerce can also present challenges, such as security and privacy concerns, as well as increased competition. It's important for businesses to understand the risks and benefits ...

Meta.... Facebook, whatever you want to call it

 Hello and thank you for reading this post. Today I am going to talk about linking customgear.shop or Meta or formerly known as Facebook.  Facebook marketplace is ranked the 10th most popular marketplace on the internet in the United  States. Which is really surprising because almost everyone and their mother face a profile on  Facebook. Their marketplace has strict rules. Seems that when you mess up the first time, it is almost  impossible to get accepted again. Now understand, this is MY opinion but having a past with  marketplace does NOT help either. Explanation on the will be in another blog but that will come. You need to understand that everything takes time. When your team loses hope and opts out so it is  only one individual, ALOT of time.  Anyways, when customgear.shop first got started it was immediatly linked with Facebook  marketplace.  Within the first week, sales were made almost immediatly!  But then, Facebook shut ...
