Story: More why/what less how
I develop a Shopify website a couple of times personally and publicly. Development is not a challenge once you start to use the Shopify interface. However, you may be stuck with what you sell. You may try Oberlo or AliExpress, but in the end, you face what you sell… I understand this situation.
YouTube on Shopify provides tons of resources. I picked up useful information here. It may help your decision.
Shopify
– Free for 90 days during early COVID time only. It’s usually 7-14 days.
– US$29/mo for the basic plan. You have to sell more than US$29(net, not gross). Otherwise, your business is in deficit.
– Price range, US$29, $79 and $299/mo. It costs you forever.
– The Shopify site insists it’s easy. We may be able to develop a Shopify website easily, but sales are never easy.
– You don’t know until try.

How to. It means this channel is teaching for Shopify users. Well-organized playlists.
I am wondering whether the facilitators are actually Shopify workers? or from the model agency? I think these days, there are demands to talk about own product or service on YouTube/TikTok. Anyway, speaking is a great skill. I am the type of contents creator though.
