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 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?

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. The process of creating a store was somewhat similar to creating an individual store.       Having to deal with taxes and such but instead of dealing with just your local community you have to deal with the whole world.  There are many benefits to this approach because your audience goes worl

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

Beginning Shopify

Beginning Shopify     T his post is about starting Shopify and immediately what happened afterward. I would like to thank you for reading this and hope that before you start your Shopify journey, maybe you'll learn something...     Started Shopify two months ago and did NOT watch courses before except for years ago. So went at it with a "blind eye".   When I signed up for it and entered the platform and was immediately overwhelmed with what to do. Tinkered around a little bit but not much so found some free courses to get a basic set up going.      Shopify itself has courses that are available on YouTube but didn't learn that for the first couple of weeks. The platform does send you emails which tell you what is going on so make sure if you start working with Shopify that you read their emails and take their courses!     Something very odd happened, the third day of having a Shopify store and a developer emailed me about my site. He offered to help design it and make
