Presenter Chris Record 8 Figure online seller.
So I hope you enjoy today's video traning and I hope you get a lot of value from it as I have. Thank you. Gordon Clark GMCUNIVERSE.If you like the video please share it and leave a comment if you like Thank you very much . Please see your video below.
You must have a shopify store and be an admin to benefit from this training
When you set up a store, you choose a store name (that becomes your username)
For example if your store name is “Chris Record General Store”
Then your store url would likely be http://chris-record-general-store.mys...
Don’t worry, you can always purchase a domain name and “map it” to your store
Then your domain name could become http://ChrisRecordGeneralStore.com
This is how you can begin to brand your own store - so username doesn’t matter.
SHIPPING SECTION EXPLAINED
Very Beginner Explanation - Generally 2 options for Shipping Rates
Price Based Shipping
Weight Based Shipping
Price Based Shipping - Is often the most popular for traditional small business owners who have inventory and are handling shipping themselves**** *generally speaking...
Weight Based Shipping - Is often the most popular method for sellers who use drop shipping and have another company fulfill the order for them**** *many others use this method too...
So which one should most of YOU use for your store? Weight Based Shipping.
You can use a combination like this:
Price Based Shipping with one option for orders over $75 to get free shipping:
Edit price based rate
Name: Free shipping on orders over $75
Minimum Order Price: 74.99
No limit max
Rate: Free Shipping Rate
Example: Surviving the Storm Bracelet on AliExpress
Price: $1.24
Shipping: $8.95
Total: $10.19
Your Wholesale Cost: $3.50
Your FB Ads Cost: $3.00
Your total expenses are $6.50
$10.19 - $6.50 = $3.68 Is Your Profit after expenses per order x as many as you can sell
3 examples of selling the same product for the same price but in different ways:
FREE + SHIPPING
FREE (just pay $9.95 s/h) = $9.95
FREE SHIPPING (RETAIL SALES)
$9.95 (free shipping) = $9.95
COMBINATION
$Any Price (some shipping) = $9.95
$2.00 (plus $7.95 shipping) = $9.95
$5.00 (plus $4.95 shipping) = $9.95
$7.00 (plus $2.95 shipping) = $9.95
Both options you collect $9.95 up front and pay the wholesaler $3.50
You can choose any number of marketing strategies that work for your products.
THEME CHOICES: FREE VS PAID
If you are using FB ads to drive traffic, then.........
Most of your users will only see your individual product page on mobile!!!!!!
So, don’t worry so much about your theme!!!!!!
Amateurs will spend hours upon hours getting their theme perfect
This is ONLY helpful if you have multiple sources of high traffic
Or, if you are highly focused on building a brand/image for your store
99.9% of you are focused on FB ads to individual product pages (beginner)
When you are looking at themes, focus on individual product pages
And focus on how it looks when viewed from a mobile device!!!
DOMAIN NAMES:
I recommend using GODADDY for the domain names for your store.
The reason is that it’s the simplest to use, and easiest for us to ensure it works properly.
And, there are coupon codes to get domains very cheap at godaddy online.
Try searching for $0.99 coupon codes (2017), and $2.95 coupon codes.
