  1. Sounds kind of interesting but I take it that you mentioned you build your site through their platform and you talked about using social media for marketing to get sales. So am I correct in saying the site itself will not rank, so you use other means to get the word out for your Shopify store?

    Also, what is the monthly cost to get started?

    • You need to put effort in to get any website of any kind ranked and have more chance of getting traffic. Shopify market your site for you as part of the deal, but it’s always wise to increase your website’s traffic through your own marketing efforts. You can’t just hope to put up a website and expect all this traffic by doing absolutely nothing. All business online and offline have to do marketing and promotion to get customers.

      As far as prices go you get a 14 day free trial and the basic package starts at just $13 a month which includes hosting and everything, so pretty cheap.

  2. Hi Darren…it is interesting to see how easy technology can make our lives….now either if we have our own product or we suggest people to buy a product from a big company we can sell those online and this site as can see is verya easy to manage while making the site and while managing the payment processors as you mentioned….I really learned a lot and keep up the good work!!!!

  3. Great points Darren. When I first heard of Shopify I thought it was a great idea, really takes the hassle out of setting up an online store. I think one of the most attractive things about Shopify is that they manage the payment gateways for you which can be a nightmare to set up on your own. Very interesting stuff.

    • Hi Steve. Yes, the point about the payment gateways is a big bonus to the Shopify idea. They really do make the entire process so much simpler for everyone, which is what their aim is.
