It is your own platform, a place where you have the freedom to create whatever business model you want. Don't limit yourself to buying from a wholesaler and shipping using fulfillment center. That is what many systems are teaching right now but it isn't the only way to make money with Shopify. The core of any successful store is great product. No matter what product you choose though it will be important to choose a business model that complements it.<br />

<strong>The Low Cost Digital Book Store. </strong>Amazon's Kindle marketplace has lended some credibility to the idea of digital books as a product. You may remember when eBooks were mostly thought of as a scam or a get rich quick scheme. That is no longer the case as many established authors and publishers sell digital books. In this model, you will first need some books that you have the right to sell. You could write them yourself, hire someone to write on Fiverr, or buy and heavily edit some PLR on the subject. You don't need to have a great number of books for sale, that isn't the main goal here. Instead make sure you target a niche where the buyer would likely need more that just a digital book but perhaps coaching or online training. Examples are the make money online niche, personal development, and dating. When the user buys your digital book they will be added to your email autoresponder (unless they opt out), from there you can create a series of emails designed to up sell them video training or a coaching program. As an affiliate of that program you'll make a nice percentage off each sale.<br />

<strong>Dropshipping + Amazon Affiliate</strong>.<strong> </strong>Droppshiping sounds great but is risky especially with high ticket items. Your payment processor might not be too happy if you receive thousands of dollars worth of charge backs dues to an unreliable supplier. One way to minimize risk is focus on low ticket items the problem is often the profit margin is slim. One way around this is cross promote with related high ticket items from Amazon. Of course you would have to find related high ticket items and feature them heavily in your store. You could also promote them in your newsletter.<br />

<strong>The Free + Shipping Model. </strong>Exactly what it sounds like, you give items away for "free" but instead only charge a small fee for shipping. This model works great for video courses, interactive workbooks, photography books, and anything where someone would want a physical copy of the product. To make this work you need to have a low-cost product that you have the right to sell. If you plan to sell workbooks you want to get them printed in bulk to lower cost. If it is a video course or small workbook you may even be able to print or copy them on demand.<br />

<strong>Customizable Tees and Mugs</strong>. Instead of designing tees and mugs and selling them online, you can let people design their own! That's right you could own a site very similar to CafePress or Zazzle. It does require a little technical know how to set up correctly but overall a great option if you're looking to get into the collectible business. Also, just because you're offering print on demand doesn't mean you can't sell your own designs as well.<br />

<b>White Label Products. </b>What are white label products? White label products are produced to be re-branded and sold for a markup. Some examples of white label products could be supplements, coffee, or other commodities. The original product is sold without any labeling or branding. It is then up to the retailer to create effective brand awareness and a marketing strategy. This strategy requires a solid marketing plan because competition in this market is fierce. The first step is to find white label products there is a market for and develop your unique selling proposition. If your marketing isn't unique it will be easy to get lost among the many sellers who are essentially selling the same product that you are.<br />

<br />
</ol>
<strong>Media Buy Back Store. </strong>You don't have any products but you want to get into selling music, DVDs, or video games? Why not start a trade-in store? The largest video game retailer in the US has built their empire on video game buy backs. You don't have to be a large retailer though for this model to work, you don't even need any inventory to get started. All you need is a list of items you'd like to buy back and at what prices. There is of course an <a href="https://apiintegrations.com/shopify-product-trade-in/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">app</a> that makes it easier.<br />
<ol>
<br />
</ol>
<strong>Vintage Clothing Model. </strong>It is exactly what it sounds like, you sell used clothes online. To make this one work I would focus certain highly sought after brands or styles. Great places to look for these are estate sales, goodwill stores (in trendy areas), or Craigslist curb alerts. The thing that is a pain about clothes is you need make them look good and that is hard without real live models. You'll probably want to invest in some different size mannequins or stick to something that doesn't need a model like jeans or t-shirts. You'll also probably want to create some sort of standard sizing guide, that way people aren't constantly sending stuff back. Selling clothes definitely isn't something to be taken lightly, everything has to look top-notch if you want to get top dollar for your hard work.<br />

Shopify has announced that two new sales channels have been added to their list of options, Amazon and eBay. With the push of a button you can sync your Shopify products to listings in Amazon's catalog. You can also exclude specific categories or products, if these are known to cause issues on Amazon. You can also push products from your Shopify store to eBay listings. When something sells on eBay or Amazon this will be reflected in your Shopify inventory.<br />

<br />
In e-commerce, many people get stuck analyzing and searching for the best solution. Whether it's an accounting software, inventory management, or even what platform to begin selling on. The truth is that in most cases there isn't a clear-cut "best" choice. However, there will be a solution that fits best for each person. This is definitely the case when it comes to comparing Shopify to Amazon. Each platform is designed for different purposes, so it all comes down to which one is a good match.<br /><br />
<h2>
Building a Brand vs Increased Visibility</h2>
<br />
The biggest difference between Amazon and Shopify is that Shopify is a system that allows you to build your own brand online. Amazon, on the other hand, allows you to leverage their already established brand to sell products quickly. When a user purchases third-party items on Amazon, it feels very much like any other Amazon transaction. This is by design, since buyers already have a great level of trust for Amazon having a seamless third-party system increases conversions and sales. However, what this leads to in the customer's mind is that they associate their purchase with Amazon and not with the seller. This makes it very hard to build name recognition or create your own reputation for excellent customer service. In contrast, when a customer orders from a Shopify Store, he or she would have no idea that it powered by Shopify. All the branding, domain name, and follow-up emails are designed by the store owner to build trust and name recognition. If you can successfully build a brand online, then this can become your biggest asset as consumers keep coming back and buying again, and again.<br />
<br />
Amazon's platform does offer something though that Shopify cannot: visibility. By listing on Amazon you're putting your item on one of the most viewed sites on Earth. As you can imagine this can lead to sales quite quickly. Of course, this isn't free as you will pay a higher per transaction fee on Amazon then on Shopify (more on than later). So, with your own Shopify store you're in charge of setting up the store <em>and</em> getting traffic and sales. They do provide the many of the tools and training required to get this task accomplished. Shopify easily integrates with other sales channels like google shopping, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. In addition they show you how to get up and running with Google Adwords campaigns, SEO, blogging, and content marketing to drive traffic and sales.<br /><br />
<h2>
Your Own Business Model vs Preset Systems</h2>
<br />
On Shopify, you have much more freedom to create your own business model. Third-party sellers on Amazon are all compete with one another, mostly, on the basis of price. Price is the only real way to differentiate yourself from others. This leads to systems of analyzing Amazon sales figures versus wholesale prices, to determine trends and pick winners. It isn't hard to see, that with many people using the same methods and business model, that eventually it will get saturated. There are only so many niches to exploit. Shopify allows you to create many more types of businesses than traditional items on Amazon. You can sell digital items, free + shipping items, sell items through an autoresponder, subscriptions, customized t-shirts and mugs, and even services. Of course so much freedom can also have its own pitfalls, namely choosing a model that simply doesn't work.<br /><br/>
<h2>
Selling What You Want vs Getting Approval</h2>
<br />
Amazon has a massive reputation to uphold as such they get picky about who can sell certain items. In order to protect their reputation, many categories of items are restricted, meaning third-party sellers must apply before selling. This isn't a quick approval of your selling record on Amazon but a thorough check of where you are purchasing your items and includes providing wholesale invoices of new items purchased. Without the correct documentation it is easy to get denied and end up stuck with inventory that can't be sold on Amazon. That isn't to say you can run wild on Shopify. Illegal items are still out, as are many high risk categories. Much of this isn't actually due to Shopify but stems from whatever ever payment processor you're using. When choosing a payment processor keep in mind that some are more liberal than others.<br /><br />
<h2>
Custom Design vs Amazon's Design</h2>
<br />
When it comes to design it also is a choice between freedom and being locked in to particular style. While it is clear that Amazon has a style that converts it isn't a style that is built for every niche. If you're selling books, DVDs, CDs, Software, or any other kind of media you'll do really well as that is what Amazon was originally built around. However, what if you what to sell an item that has many variations or that needs some explanation? What if you want the product to have a sales video? In these situations you may or may not get the outcome that you desire or that will convert best for the product.<br /><br />
<h2>
What about the Fees?</h2>
<br />
Amazon's Fee structure depends on different factors, mainly what category you're in and whether you have an Individual, Pro, or FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon) account. With Individual account you will pay $0.99 per item sold, plus a percent that varies by category. Which can be up to 15% in some cases. With a Pro account you pay $39.99 a month but don't pay the $0.99 per item charge. Obviously, once you begin selling more than 40 items a month it really makes more sense to subscribe to a Pro account. FBA accounts are much more complicated because they rely, not only on the weight and size of the items, but how long the items will be stored at an Amazon fulfillment center. It can get <a href="https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/help.html?itemID=201411300&ref=asus_fba_pricing_storage&ld=NSGoogle" rel="noopener" target="_blank">very complicated</a> but it does provide a way to ensure your customers get their product quickly.<br />
<br />
The fee structure for Shopify had three options Basic, Standard, and Advanced. A Basic account is $29 monthly and allows unlimited items without a few of the bells and whistles from the other plans. However, with this plan you also pay 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction. For $79 you get a lowered transaction fee of 2.6% plus $0.30. You also get a few extra features like abandoned cart recovery, professional reports, and digital or physical gift cards. Plus, you receive a larger shipping discount with USPS, UPS, or DHL. There is also the Advanced plan for $299 which knocks down the percent per transaction to 2.4%. I think it is also fair to note that these fees assume that you are using Shopify payments, if you you choose a different processor you'll pay whatever their fee is plus a small fee from Shopify.<br /><br />
<h2>
Conclusion</h2>
<br />
Ultimately the decision between Amazon and Shopify comes down to personal preference. Amazon has a large user base and great reputation which can be leveraged into quick sales. Shopify allows you to build your own brand with the freedom to design every little detail to your liking. Of course, some sellers may want quick sales and to build a brand. This can be done as well, Shopify now integrates with Amazon so that you can easily select items from your Shopify store to list on Amazon. All inventory is automatically updated in your Shopify Store. Whether you choose Amazon, Shopify, or some combination of both, it will take hard work, a rock solid plan, and determination to make it a success.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>You don't need a business account to open a shop on Facebook any personal account will do. Navigate to your personal Facebook profile, in the bottom left corner you will see a section titled "Create". Under that click the "create page" option.</li>
<br />
<li>There are many different options for the type of FanPage you can create on Facebook. However, if you're selling physical goods from a store then you probably fit into the "Brand or Product" category.</li>
<br />
<li>Now from here, you can choose a type of product which can help people find you on Facebook or if you'd like you can enter your brand name. It should be noted that if you sell brand name products you wouldn't list those but instead list your store name. Otherwise, you could get in legal trouble or your page could be shut down.</li>
<br />
<li>It should be noted that there are many options on how to set up your page. You'll need a header picture, store icon, short bio or about us, a link to your website, and a few other minor details. For right now though we want to get the store section complete as shown in the next video.</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>The first step is to log in to your Shopify store account. From there you will navigate to the channels tab on the left sidebar. Click here and a dialogue screen should appear showing which channels are active. Scroll until you find the Facebook icon, from there you can configure your Facebook store.</li>
<br />
<li>You will need to log in to your personal Facebook account and choose which Fan Page you want to associate with this store.</li>
<br />
<li>Shopify gives you the ability to only show certain categories or products on your Facebook page. To enable products go to the tab on the sidebar. If you wish, you can enable all or specific products to display on Facebook.</li>
<br />
<li>You may also do the same with categories or collections, as Shopify calls it, if there are any collections you wish to disable you can do that from the collections tab.</li>
<br />
<li>Once you've chosen which products and collections you want to be visible to your Facebook fans, you can choose which order you would like them to appear. To accomplish this click on the new Facebook channel tab in the sidebar. You should see the collections you've enabled on the left of your screen. To change the default collection and menu order, simply click and drag the collections to reorder them.</li>
<br />
<li>To finalize any changes hit the Publish button on the right upper hand corner.</li>

<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zcKXU8foaoM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zcKXU8foaoM?feature=player_embedded" width="600"></iframe></div>

<ol>
<li><strong>You like to challenge the status quo.</strong> Great entrepreneurs are not afraid of change and are always looking for ways to improve. They don't accept the thinking that traditional techniques must be the best. Instead, they enjoy tweaking and testing new strategies to find the optimum results.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>You like being rewarded for a job well done.</strong> In an old-fashioned career, workers essentially trade time for money, whether they excel or are simply average they will all clock out at the same time and collect a check on payday. That may be fine for people who want to skate by in life, leaving the heavy lifting to others. However, many people feel cheated by a system that doesn't do particularly well at judging work ethic and accomplishment. As a business owner, only the results matter and not someone else's opinion or your work.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>You want to really love what you do. </strong>The majority of entrepreneurs aren't in it to try to make millions, they want more than that. They want something much more elusive, a career that feels important. They want to feel like they are at your best each and every day, giving value and making a difference. That's not to say there aren't hard days, stress, and failures. Those will come but in the big picture, they are worth it.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>You feel that time is more valuable than money.</strong> They say time is money but the reality is that money can never replace lost time. Even those with a lucrative career are still trading time for money, they are just getting a better rate of exchange. That's time that they'll never get back. A true businessperson can set up systems so that they are profiting even while their attention is elsewhere. The ideal company can be scaled to such an extent that the owner need not be involved in the day-to-day operation.</li>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Success is a journey! Not a destination.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<strong>You enjoy the journey. </strong>Success is not something that comes overnight nor is it a destination to be reached. The little achievements day by day, the obstacles overcome, are all part of being successful. Those who are always waiting for happiness to come after they reach a certain goal or measurable, often find themselves disappointed when the next obstacle arises. The key is finding joy in the small accomplishments, creative solutions, and helping others along the way.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>You aren't afraid of making mistakes. </strong>Mistakes are bound to happen, they are part of the process. Innovators are by definition, failing many times over. We rarely hear about those because everyone would rather celebrate their successes. Success doesn't appear out of nowhere, but is the result of methodical experimentation.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>You know that there are any shortcuts.</strong> The magic bullet solution just doesn't exist. A real business will require hard work, great decision-making, time, and resources. If there was an easy solution everyone would do it, the market would saturate and it wouldn't work anymore!</li>
