Hi,

Can anyone recommend any free or reasonably priced e commerce/shopify courses, blogs etc? I have been looking at Amazon for quite a while now but starting to feel a bit overwhelmed I would love to hear some experiences and success stories using the dropshipping/wholesale, shopify approach

Thanks

Patrick

        The basic membership is and always will be free. But as you go through the training, you'll notice that there are several blocks of content that are blocked for PRO or PLATINUM members.

        Pro membership unlocks all of the extras in the training, plus it will unlock access to several tools including our keyword tool (which makes finding a niche super easy), our Link Thief tool (helps analyze competitors backlinks and get them yourself), and our supplier directory (not our top method of finding suppliers, but a good resource if you get stuck). Pro membership is $39/month with a promo you get through our newsletter after signing up as a free member.

        Platinum membership includes all of the same things as PRO membership plus a coaching package for daily chat hours and a bi-weekly phone call. This service is $197/month with the promo through the newsletter.

        With either plan, there is no long-term contract... just month to month.

        I want to make it clear that both of these are completely optional. I would encourage you to go PRO just because the tools (especially the keyword tool) are really nice when analyzing what niche to go into, but you don't need to do either one.

        When it comes to actually running an eCommerce store, the costs are quite minimal. Here's a breakdown:

        Shopping Cart: ~$30/month
        800 Phone Number: ~$10/month
        Merchant Account: ~$30/month plus transactional fees
        Live Chat: ~ $10/month

        Aside from these costs you really should also jump right into doing some good paid advertising, but the hope there is that you are making enough to cover those costs immediately so those can't really be counted as a "cost" to run the store.

        I'm happy to answer any other questions if you have them. Just let me know.
