[Music]
hey guys how's it going mike fisher
welcome to this video before we actually
gonna remind you that several spots have
opened up for this week's free workshop
where we're going over the fastest and
the easiest way to make money online
we have a 62 year old woman who's never
actually understood how to use a laptop
before
go from zero to 160 thousand dollars
profit in her first 90 days
check out the first link below let's
talk about shopify how to sell on it
it's pretty simple
i remember getting started in shopify in
around like 2015 i think our first month
we did five thousand dollars in revenue
and i want to share with you exactly how
i did it
so as you can see shopify is pretty
awesome because you could literally
create a website within like five
minutes okay
just go and start free trial also
there's also these different prices
right
there's basics which is 29 a month all
the way up to here you don't really need
that
right you really just need the starter
basic package when i first got started i
really just started
with the 29 per month and i also had 14
days to really go in on that so once
you're in this is exactly what it looks
like and it's pretty straightforward
you just add a product customize the
theme add a domain and then set up
payments now before we actually go ahead
and add the product we can even go ahead
and customize the theme
the beautiful thing about shopify is
they have a bunch of free themes like if
i just go and explore
free themes you could go in and within
like five seconds you could import any
one of these styles of websites into
your own
and then the product is just easy right
you want to get the nice
feel the nice touch the right branding
all of it is pretty much free to really
get started i remember i used supply a
lot when i was really selling on it
you could even get a more minimalistic
approach you just click on that
you go ahead and add to a theme library
and just like that i mean you saw me
we were able to go ahead and actually
create
our own very own website now of course
you would just click on customizing and
this part actually in my opinion isn't
the most important part i think people
hype on too much at this part and they
waste all of their time when the most
important thing is how are you going to
sales and how are you going to do
marketing
like in 2015 i barely did any of this
stuff
you just need the bare minimum of it
remember do not spend all of your time
with the perfect logo with the perfect
thing the logo could literally be
something as simple as whatever your
name of the store is no one really cares
in the beginning your goal is trying to
find the right product and the right
market that is going to go and buy the
product which leads me to the next step
and that's actually
finding the right products so there's
multiple sites that you need aliexpress
alibaba and amazon now the reason why
you want to use all three is you want to
find out what products are
already selling if you do not have an
idea yet one thing that you could do
is just start going through all these
things and start thinking okay well
which one of these things do i want to
get into
do you have an idea if not one of the
things that you could do is just see
these are the things that are what you
can do is just simply go on amazon and
start typing your ideas in right so if i
just type in grill gloves
one of the things that i would do
especially if i wanted to sell product
whatever idea that you have
type it in on amazon and what you want
to do is you want to pull up one of your
competitors
and look at their ratings because what
will happen
when they see the ratings and remember
this is on amazon but you're like oh my
god i want to sell on shopify
this will give you ideas on how to
improve the product guys so what i would
do is actually go
to like the lowest or even most recent
to see what people are actually saying
not as heat resistant as i expected
so one thing that you could improve is
maybe make it more heat resistant maybe
put cotton in the lining
the reason why you would succeed in
e-commerce especially with shopify
is when you are solving a problem
that isn't that solvable yet like for
example me like i live here in bali
right and i'm a u.s citizen and i make
money online
so us taxes is very hard for me to
understand
so i was literally scouring the internet
to find the best expat tax service to
literally help me do my taxes
it was very hard for me to find
something that was like pretty good
right there wasn't that much competition
if that's a problem for me i'm willing
to pay for a solution for it
and if someone literally said hey i
could do all this for you i'd be like
here's my money
that's exactly the same thing with
physical products they're telling you
the problems with the products that
they're buying
so you could either go ahead and ignore
it or you could be like oh my god this
is a huge opportunity
you could then go to aliexpress or
alibaba either buy a couple
to just get started with right you could
start with the drop shipping model
and then when you're like okay this is a
really good thing i want to go ahead and
buy it in bulk
one of the things was gravity phone
cases
i remember seeing this back in the day
where you would literally put this on
the phone case and it would just
just get stuck on you know a window or a
mirror or whatnot and they would get any
get it literally for like two dollars
right and then go case comes in and he's
like oh wow i want to go sell something
like this and then go case comes in and
says oh i want to sell it for 16 bucks
just like that you see them getting it
for two dollars selling it for 16
what they essentially did back in the
day is they would start dropshipping a
bunch of products right they would
see what went really well on their store
and then they would just start selling
it
to like a bunch of different instagram
influencers at the time and when one
caught up
and it did really well they stopped
everything and they just ended up going
here and bought the gravity
cases in bulk
because you could get it down even
cheaper you could get it to a u.s
manufacturer or you could get it to a
u.s warehouse and then just ship it
you cut down the shipping times your
customers a lot more happy that's how
they were literally able to go from
nothing to millions of dollars now jim
shark did the exact same thing
um i'm just really curious how many guys
are familiar with gemstar comment below
the thing about gymshark it is now
valued at 1.45
billion dollars but they essentially
started with the same model they didn't
really create the most beautiful
stores they put a bunch of products up
on there seeing what would sell
and the moment things were starting
selling and they were doing the drop
shipping model where they would take the
customers money
and then they would buy it from another
warehouse and then ship it to them with
their own money
meaning it's the least it's like the
most zero cost most
least high cost effective way to
actually do business
what happened is when things started
making sales that's when they would go
in
to alibaba and then they would get like
you know gym
fit tees in bulk and then have them
custom designed
look at look at this all of these look
like the things that you would normally
get here in gymshark and this one people
don't really know about gymshark is they
started off just selling other people's
products when they would make money from
their customer
they would take the money and then get
it at a lower cost and then ship it out
of them meaning they never had to buy
products in bulk when they first got
started
and then once they made castle from that
then they could go and
take more risky bets and then start
getting you know 100 pieces at a time
they would save more money in the long
term of things
but they would build a stronger brand
where they could essentially sell
for 1.45 billion dollars now once you're
there the most important thing with
e-commerce shops are the photography
so i would just recommend outsourcing
that right away just go to fiverr.com
it's super simple type in product
photography in the search and just like
that people can literally take pictures
for your products and make really cool
designs depending on what you want for
like five dollars
or ten dollars if you don't even want to
do it yourself remember the most
important thing when you
get started in selling shopify don't buy
yourself another
job okay my problem when i was selling
on shopify is i literally left a job
to then work another 16 hour a day job
with shopify
don't don't do all of the hats of course
in the beginning but
the more you can outsource it by saving
up money especially in inventory by
doing like the drop shipping method
uh don't buy like disgusting amounts of
quantities from china
like what i did with like 2 000 dog
leashes instead start small kind of like
what goat case did
or spend most of your money and time on
the marketing and the sales aspect of
things because
when you make money from that you can
invest in bigger and better things
so one of the most important things is
like product photography
you could then put that here on your
website as well as when you create the
products
for yourself now when you're there you
then want to make a long list of all of
your competitors because you're uh
you need to wonder what the hell other
people are doing to go and make money
with this
the hard thing for most people is they
come in and they try to figure things
all out by themselves
when little do they know that there's
businesses that spend millions of
dollars
that already did all the tests for you
and you need to tap into what they're
doing so you don't have to make the same
mistakes
so once you make a long list of all of
your competitors that are selling
similar products to you
find their facebook page that's very
simple once you find their facebook page
you got to scroll down and look at this
thing known as page transparency
when you do see all this thing pops up
and you go here and type in go to ad
library now what this is is they're
showing you
all of the different advertisings that
they are currently right running right
now to make money
why is this very much important because
everyone thinks oh my god if i create
the most beautiful logo the most
beautiful design my colors need to match
then i'll go and make money that is
further from the truth
you need to find out what is already
working right
what type of sales are they doing what
type of you know
words do they have right here is this
something that's actually you want to
write when you first get started can you
find somebody else to write these for
you
when you do that you want to click on
exactly their sales page what do their
images look like
what does the words on their shopify
store look like you could see oh my god
it's pretty simple
this is a pretty much simple branding i
don't have to go crazy on this
here's just simple pictures that you
could go ahead and come in with this
fragrance samples what what is the
description that they're talking about
is there any more information that
they're going ahead and include
you could start modeling what's already
working most people when they're first
getting started especially if they're
watching videos like this on youtube
they don't have like the crazy you know
30-year experience when it comes to
business they want to start a side
hustle they saw some video of some kid
making money online they're like oh my
god i want to try this too
but what you guys got to realize is all
the things are already done for you
you already know exactly what type of ad
copy and marketing work so why not at
least implement it and then running
advertisements pretty easy you literally
just go to
business.facebook.com and as you can see
this is how people set up
uh their campaigns they literally just
go in here click on campaign budget
optimization
this is just you know let facebook do
all the hard work if you want more of a
tutorial like this
just type in i want to learn shopify
facebook ads in the link below and i'll
let you know
you could start it off at 20 now the
most important thing
is a purchase conversion you could set
up the age genders
you can set people up that like beards
like that that's 59 million people
or 230 million people just like that you
could also do men and women
and this is where you actually go ahead
and put all of your different creatives
right and the coolest thing about this
is facebook does a lot of the primary
hard work for you
especially if you come in here and click
on this thing known as dynamic
creatives you're essentially giving
facebook all of these
images and words and whatnot and then
facebook will
go in magically fine buys i don't know
how they do it i mean they know
everything about us they know what we
ate last week
it's pretty intense you ever notice why
they show you the right ads at the right
time you're like oh my god i want to
actually buy that
they're they're savages when it comes to
showing you the right product
here's where you could literally
populate all these different types of
options for like the text for the
headline
for the images for the description put
your website in there and then you could
essentially let facebook do most of the
hard work for you and if you don't want
to go that way there's multiple ways you
could also do it you could go the
influencer marketing route
right like as you can see there's people
that are already making content
and if you literally make a deal with
them maybe give them a percentage of the
sale or maybe
give them some um for cash or maybe you
want to do a partnership with them and
get 50 50 profits
you could have them do most of the work
for you in terms of the marketing
you know i did this for instagram you
could also do this for youtube
instagram was like pretty under rated at
the time which is why it was a huge
opportunity you could even do this for
youtube
and just see that he's even doing it for
his own business too right
he got 99 000 views for things he's
selling it
to his nose trimmer his nose trimmer is
35
and you could essentially get it here
for two dollars
that's about 30 profit you do the math
10 sales a day is 300
profit a day that's a six figure
business a year you sell 100 units a day
that's a million dollar a year profit
business just like that
