Okay.
Fantastic.
You made it to essential number one, the very first step in understanding this business model and perhaps
changing your life altogether.
So in this lecture, what I want to do is to explain to you how you will make money, which of course
is why you're here.
And to do that, I'm going to give you a very high level overview of how the business model works.
So don't worry, I'm not going to go into enormous detail at this point.
Of course, as the course develops, you're going to see how much information I'm going to share with
you.
But at this stage, I just want you to begin to appreciate how exciting this opportunity can be.
So the very first thing we're going to do is to build out your very own store, your very own Shopify
store.
And as I said previously in the last lecture, Shopify is an amazing piece of software.
And so if you're thinking right now, oh my goodness, I've never done anything like this before.
I've never built my own store.
Please don't worry, Shopify is all point and click.
You don't need any technical knowledge.
And as you're going to see in the next couple of lectures, you could have your very own Shopify store
for free within just a few hours.
So once you've built your store, the next thing you're going to want to do is to fill it with best
selling products.
But these aren't going to be physical products because you are never going to have to stock anything.
We are simply going to be putting images and text, much like you would see any e-commerce store on
the internet.
But of course, when people do start buying from your store, you will need to send them the product.
So how are we going to do that?
Well, that's where one of the key benefits of the course comes in, because I'm going to be showing
you how to source products from low cost suppliers where the prices are incredibly attractive.
So let me show you how this is going to work.
By way of example, let's imagine on one of our low cost suppliers, we have found a t shirt for $10.
Now I want to say straight away this is not about selling t shirts.
You can sell t shirts if you want, but you can sell absolutely anything, anything you want.
You can sell using this model.
And I'm going to be showing you throughout the course how to identify best selling products that your
customers will buy.
But at the moment, and just because it's a really easy concept to understand, let's imagine we have
a t shirt.
Now, as I said before, you are never going to stock anything.
So the only thing we want to take from our supplier are the images and the text.
So you will take those and you will put them on your store.
And then the only thing you're going to change is the price.
You will sell this t shirt in this example for $30.
I'm pretty sure you're already starting to see how you will make money.
So having set that up, of course the next step is that you want customers to come to your store to
buy your products.
And a huge part of this course is I'm going to show you how to do exactly that for free.
I'm going to teach you some incredibly powerful free traffic techniques so that customers like this
one will come to your store and buy.
And so in this example, step one of how this works is that the customer comes to your site and buys
the t shirt for $30, meaning you now have $30 in your hands.
Now, as you know, you don't hold any stock.
So what you will do now is go over to your supplier, buy it for $10, and asked the supplier to send
it to drop, ship it directly to the customer.
And it's at that point the customer will then put on their t shirt.
And what that means, as I'm sure you can see, is that you just made a profit of $20 from just one
single sale.
So all you then need to do is to repeat steps 1 to 3 over and over to build an absolutely amazing business.
So I sincerely hope at this point you're starting to understand why this opportunity is so exciting.
But if it is still a little bit unclear, or perhaps you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, please don't
worry.
As you go through the course, it will become clearer and clearer very quickly.
Now, the advantages to this business model are numerous, but I do just want to take a moment to talk
about the key advantages.
The first one being that this has a very low cost and as you can see, very high profit.
The perfect formula for any successful business.
Because of course you don't need to pay to stock any products.
You're also not going to be involved in sending any products because the supplier is going to do all
of that for you.
And in addition, as I said before, I'm going to be teaching you free traffic techniques so that you
can drive your customers to your store for free.
And that combination means that this business model is very easy to scale.
You might be here thinking, I just want to make an additional $1,000 a.
Month as a part time business.
You might also be here thinking, well, I want to make way more than that.
I want to make $10,000 a month or possibly more as a full time business.
You can absolutely do that with this business model.
There really is no limit.
In addition to that, this is very quick and easy to set up.
You don't need any technical skills and you don't need any e-commerce knowledge because everything that
you do need, I'm going to be teaching you on this course.
And then having set up your business, you can run it from anywhere.
You could run it from your home, you could run it while you travel, or you could live what they sometimes
refer to as the internet lifestyle, something I've been doing for over 20 years, and I really don't
see any reason why you couldn't do that as well.
And then finally, and this is super important, I want you to know that I am here for you, to help
you in every possible way that I can to help you succeed, because I guarantee the best support I am
a certified Shopify coach.
I've been doing this, as I said, for over 20 years with a variety of businesses, and in addition,
I am one of the best selling e-commerce coaches on Udemy with over 100,000 students for this course
alone.
So I really hope you're excited about how you will make money with this business model.
And as I said before, if you're still a little bit confused or you're feeling a little bit overwhelmed,
please don't worry.
It will become clearer and clearer as we go through the course.
But of course, the key thing at this stage is if you do want to succeed, you will need to take action.
That is the biggest difference between success and failure.
I'm going to give you all of the skills, all of the knowledge that you need to succeed.
But at the end of the day, it's up to you to make it happen.
So with that in mind, let's do exactly that.
