When I drive to work I listen to a lot of podcasts. Lately I've been listening to Tai Lopez and his series on setting up drop shipping companies.
So sitting here at work, doing kinda bugger all i figured why not give it a shot.
I went through a bunch of ideas, phone covers, tech crap, t shirts etc they all kinda sucked. I settled on womens swimwear. Chicks always buy that stuff, and its always summer somewhere. It has a large audience, it has some competition and its a proven business model so those are all big positives.
So then I needed a website and something to call this venture. Whenever I think of the beach and swimmers, I always say in my head "Suns out - Buns out" its kinda corny, but its catchy and it was available from Go Daddy to that was it.
Setting up the website was a real cinch with Shopify. Its got a free 14day trial, so at least you can tell it out with no committment to see how it goes.
Then the fun began, I found you can accept Crypto through the Coinbase ecommerce plugin, and there are tutorials on how to set up to pay with Steem as well.
So without further ado, go check out the site HERE and test it out.
Also, for our Team Australia members there is a special $5 discount code if you enter the code TEAMAUS at checkout.
Interesting, I did not know that! Thanks
" You want to crypto work? use it"
This is the perfect example of it!!
My best wishes for you on your entrepreneurship with steem
This is lovely hope more sites follow suit would be cool buying stuffs online with steem
well feel free to make this your first purchase with steem ;)
This is a big step and i am sure more will follow!
I love steemit,, succes for you brother
Nice work mate!
So in the plugin, STEEM is one of the default options? That's really cool for Steem actually. Great to see.
I've also thought about starting a dropshipping business, but don't really know where to begin. So Shopify is like a one stop shop for the entire business? You can easily switch between suppliers if you find better/cheaper stock?
No you need to enter the code manually, but the tutorial i linked in the post is super easy.
yeah shopify, then use the Oberlo app to pull products from aliexpress. It's really simple.
If you find cheaper stuff, drop the expensive product, inset the new one, easy peasy.
Can also do Discounts, Buy X get Y etc.
@bulleth keeps telling me to do a dildo one.......... call its rustytrombone.com
Haha of course he does :P
Ah thanks for the info. I'm going to have to check it all out for myself.
STOPSounds like you have the right idea, well done.
ouch international shipping isn't cheap and with the price of sbd dropping it isn't going to be cheap, but let me give it a go
look forward to your feedback.
It accepts Bitcoin and others as well. Once this bear is gone it'll all be looking rosy again.
If I can cover costs on this one, then I'll set up a few others to accept steem, will be open to suggestions.
I received a confirmation email, but no connect options to process payment came up :/
