the free education is just hit that like button for the YouTube algorithm And subscribe to my YouTube channel so I can continue to make free courses and videos just like this me personally when I first started my online store I started with one of the free ones that I show on my YouTube channel but as I started making money and building that business I realized instead of upgrading with one of the free ones why not just jump onto another platform that does have more access to more apps and things that can really help me and help my business grow long term and of course Shopify does have more customization options as well than the free ones that I have shown in the past too do the free website host do the job 100% but if you are looking for something a little bit more detailed and you want to commit yourself a little bit more then this tutorial is for you but either way all you'll really need to actually get started today with Shopify is only $3 so after you sign up using the link

they give you isn't that great if you guys don't know what domain is it's the actual link that people click on to get to your store so instead of using com for this custom domain I recommend actually using store store is the domain name for online sellers like usually you guys would think to just use the Doom for your your websites and your custom domains but by using the dot store it actually Associates your customers with it being an actual online store before they even click on it such as Rihanna Michelle Obama Shakira Cristiano Ronaldo and even Maroon 5 I just flew with Emirates and I also noticed that Emirates Airlines also has Emirates do store even Mr Beast uses this do store for his online store he even announced this on his YouTube channel that he changed his name from com to store since he felt that it's a better brand and positioning online there was a study done that compared online stores that use. store instead of do online stores that use do store in their domain experienced 2.1 times more Impressions 1.7 times more clicks and 12% lower CPA by using the dot store it actually gives you up to $2,500 off essential e-commerce tools such as ship station Vista Print MailChimp and many more so I did put the link Down Below in the descript description box where you can get this domain for only 99 Cents using this code BD store now I'm going to show you how to actually get this domain and connected to your online store I put the link down in the description box below for you to go directly to store domains and when you're here you can just click on search for your store domain then it's going to bring you to this page and it's going to show you all the different options for what you searched so remember we have a code that we're going to be using so for right now you'll see that it's $30 when you find the one that you like just click add to cart I always like my domains as short as possible then go ahead and just click proceed then for where the coupon code goes just type in bdy store and as you can see you now have this domain or any domain that you want for only 99 with this code so go ahead and just scroll down and click on place order if
