hey everybody business family my name is
Isabella I am the owner of two six
figure earning online businesses and
today I'm going to be showing you guys
how to create your own online store for
zero dollars zero dollars monthly this
website host will work for pretty much
everyone so whether you're starting a
Drop Shipping Store or you're starting
an e-commerce store that you want to
sell physical handmade Goods or anything
you guys want this is the website for
you you can create this online store in
less than 10 minutes and when I say it's
100 free guys it's 100 free so when I
started my online business I did not
have any money to spare and as a
beginner I really didn't know if I was
even going to make any money when I
started my online business so that is
why I started off with this zero dollars
monthly website host and to this day if
I start a new business tomorrow I would
still use this same exact method even
knowing that these businesses have now
turned into six figure earning
businesses I would still use free
website hosts because there's so much
more out there rather than just Shopify
gurus on YouTube will just tell you to
use Shopify or to use Wix when most of
those videos are sponsored and not only
that but a lot of people on YouTube that
talk about online business Drop Shipping
Etc are usually just trying to sell you
into a mentorship or course situation
and I just feel like all of their
content is just recycled content so
definitely watch out for that as you are
going along your journey of opening your
own online store I have nothing to sell
you here I'm just trying to get my story
and knowledge across to as many people
as possible you guys already know people
charge thousands of dollars for courses
just like this and all I ask in return
is that you smash that like button for
the YouTube algorithm And subscribe to
my channel so I can continue to make
videos just like this I don't get keep
anything I actually have a step-by-step
start your business playlist on my
YouTube channel along with so many free
courses in my free course playlist
previous free online Store
recommendations I did recommend Big
Cartel as a free website host to use I
still love big hotel well but I actually
found one that's even better that has
more free features that can help you
guys lawn with your online business
Journeys nothing in this video is
sponsored I found this website host
completely on my own and nobody else is
talking about this website host on
YouTube so you guys knew I had to so I
added the link to this video description
for you guys to sign up once you're
there just click the get started for
free button it's gonna bring you to this
page get started with a free account and
right here you can put your full name
and then you can put your email and
password I would recommend you just
creating an email for your new shop just
so you can keep things organized but
obviously creating a new email is free I
have probably like 10 or 20 different
emails so it just wants to verify that
you are an online store
and it just wants to know your region
and I did check you guys this website
can be used worldwide
you don't technically have to even fill
these out if you don't want to
so the first page I'll bring you to is
this page here and it's just going to
show you your checklist of things that
you have to do to get your store all
ready to go another reason why I like
this website is once you start making
sales and you start making money
consistently with Drop Shipping they
have a lot of different apps you can use
to then automate your Drop Shipping
Store so then you don't have to even
worry about even sending them from the
supplier to the buyer it can do that
automatically first thing I'm going to
show you how to do with this website
host is add a product
it's going to have a bunch of sample
products here so just click delete all
sample products
in this next part of this tutorial I'm
going to be showing you how you're going
to add a product as a drop shipper that
doesn't already have the product on hand
of course this is even easier if you
have your own product because you're
going to just take pictures of your own
product if you're selling inventory or
if you're making handmade Goods I'm
going to use the AliExpress listing as
an example to show you how to add a
product and typically suppliers do not
mind if you use their photo for your
online store so what I'm going to do is
I'm just going to screenshot this image
I feel like this is a good first image
that your customers will see obviously
you'll upload as many images as you can
here to make it look more official
next you're going to add your name I'm
just gonna split the screen so we can
kind of see what's going on here at both
screens so we can go ahead and just kind
of look at their title so they have they
call it Aroma diffuser air humidifier
but see how the words are kind of all
jumbled up so you can kind of just piece
them together so you could do
ultrasonic
diffuser
air humidifier this description it
allows you to insert images to this
description and you guys can kind of see
on AliExpress that's what they did they
just put images explaining what their
products does we're going to upload that
image
from your computer
and you guys can see that that image
uploaded to the description So You're
Gonna Leave This checked it says
required shipping or pickup leave that
check and then we're going to price this
at 60.59.99
then just click save
and if you want to add the buy now
button to each listing which you would
see that on all shops you can just click
this button and it will do that for you
so they can click buy now instead of
adding it to their cart but either way
it already codes it to where it's set up
like a shop already for you which you'll
see in the next clip now let's just go
to shipping before we forget that
because that is important
and you're gonna go down I always picked
fixed rate per item and I usually charge
5.50 for my shipping on my online store
I have a free course on my YouTube
channel just about shipping so
definitely go check that out if you're
shipping your own products so you could
offer free shipping to be honest but me
personally I never really offer free
shipping and I still get a lot of sales
a lot of dropshipping stores do offer
free shipping so we'll leave it alone
for this time being if not you're able
to just use this button just put in one
or two pounds and it'll just create a
shipping estimate so it looks good with
your buyer
so when you're done just click save so
all of these are just kind of extra
buttons which you guys can look through
this website is a lot more extensive
than Big Cartel but not too complicated
so I really like it like I'm really glad
I found this for you guys the next thing
that we're going to do very important is
click on payment so you guys can see
they accept payments through PayPal
square and stripe I personally use
stripe and PayPal for both of my online
stores and I highly recommend
you're using stripe because a lot of
customers it just looks more legit to
them I've never had a problem with it so
definitely recommend that
um let's go ahead and go to and if you
have trouble setting this up throughout
this process when you're connecting and
enabling it
um you can always reach out to the
stripe customer service and they're
always so helpful so the next thing that
you're going to do scroll over the
website button and then just go to
design then just scroll down and click
change address under site address and
you're going to just put your
store name here so you're going to just
do
we picked our name to be cozy homes so
that's going to be our website so it is
going to have this dot company site at
the end here don't worry guys liter I'm
telling you I've used like the free
domains and no one really cared I still
had an amazing sales conversion because
it's about my marketing that's what made
the customer buy for me was my marketing
if you can't afford a domain don't beat
yourself up for it don't let that stop
you from starting
um if you want to buy a domain in the
future you can I paid like ten dollars a
year for mine so it really wasn't much
but same thing like if you don't want to
even commit to a domain
then you don't have to because they give
you a free domain with this website so
it's perfect so after you put your store
name in there just click save
so your store now has its own official
domain for free
cozyhomes.company.site now let's go down
to site appearance and click edit
so this is the design area of how you're
going to design your website do not let
this overwhelm you because this can
actually be really fun so you're going
to click on themes
and they have a bunch of different
themes that you could use let's click on
home and furniture and see what's in
there I thought this Firefly theme was
really nice
they also have like this stay calm theme
so actually for this purpose I think
let's just try out the stay calm theme
also you guys this website has way more
themes than Big Cartel so you're gonna
just go through each one individually
and that's how you're gonna get through
this today so first thing first go to
headline and cover image you can put
your store name here so we're gonna do
cozy homes
because that's our store name cozy homes
and you can go ahead and like right here
what your shop is about so you could put
we're a small local home decor shop or
you could even put like diffuser shop
like if you were focused on selling
diffusers
diffusers you could put that there too
so we're a small local diffuser shop for
those who are amazing
obviously I think I would rewrite that
but that's good for right now okay so
let's go down
and you can change this background to
something else if you'd like so I would
change it to something like relaxing and
you could even just look up on Google
like backgrounds and so many different
backgrounds will come up save it that
and then you can upload it here let's
click on background options and see what
they have here you could even put a
video here so many I I love how many
features this website has and then they
even have overlays if you want to make
something more colorful so it stands out
more
so you can kind of like play with it
like that as well
So then whenever you're done just click
save don't forget to click save whenever
you're doing these things and then next
thing you could just go through each one
and really just test out and see if you
guys like it I'm gonna make sure our
products
um look good so click on store
we need to like look and see what's the
best so I would pick medium it was on
large I would pick medium
definitely keep that as show selection
and then you can change your ratio so I
would usually do it like a square me
personally but you could keep it like
that in this case we do have to keep it
like that because it was a square image
already and honestly what I would do too
is try to find different diffusers you
could even look at the same supplier
because you know they have fast shipment
times and sell maybe two more diffusers
so it looks a little bit more legitimate
if not you totally do not have to you
can sell one product
um and then they already have this ready
for you so you'll after you do that
click save
and they already have this part ready
for you um it says why choose us so you
guys can just fill in here
um your own like things and they they
prompt you on like what you should say
here and then if you scroll down this is
probably my favorite part is it allows
you to put in your own customer
testimonies and that just helps people
to trust you more so when you're done
just click save
so if you don't want to put in about a
section or any of these sections you can
just turn them off like that
and then um just go back
go to location we're not going to show
our location they do not need to know
that and then
um go back again
and then like contact information I
would not put a phone number just put
your email that you want them to email
you at for your business and then your
um any other social media accounts if
you just put your links into your social
media accounts here that will also make
it look a lot more legit so just put
your social media accounts in here after
you create it for your business then
just click save
so really quick let's go back to the
store section you need to scroll down
and click on product listing categories
make sure you guys click show show on
all this you don't have to put the S key
number
um but also make sure like product image
is showing or else you're literally not
going to have a product there you could
click show buy now button perfect looks
so good
um so just yeah make sure that all of
that is showing or else your product
will not be appearing on your website
so this is the shop that we just created
in less than 10 minutes I think it looks
really good and you could even link your
customers straight to the product itself
so they don't even have to see that main
page
obviously you're going to add your
special touches and make it look even
better than this
um but this is just a basis of showing
you how to create a website for free in
less than 10 minutes thank you guys so
