It doesn’t matter whether you’ve already started a Shopify store and have yet to make a sale, or are seriously considering opening an eCommerce store on the Shopify platform, Shopify has some cool strategies in place that you can easily implement to get your first sale within 30 days.
What Is Shopify?
If you are a newbie to the Shopify concept, what Shopify is in a nutshell is a platform that allows you to easily set up an eCommerce store (or other types of stores/sites) without the need to be a web developer. It’s all pretty much plug and play, and so simple for anyone to create a fantastic online shopfront.
Shopify also host your website for you, and give you loads of tools to run a store successfully. Even all the payment gateways are handled by Shopify, leaving you free to focus on growing your business.

The 30 Day Challenge
At the end of this post I’ll give you a link to a very handy resource on the Shopify website, which will reveal loads of tips to get your very first sale on your new website within 30 days. That first sale is what you need to get your confidence up and to start the ball rolling.
The first thing you will learn about is how to attract that all important traffic to your store. Without people visiting your store you can’t hope to make sales, so traffic – relevant traffic – is vital for the success of your business.
The very best kind of traffic is organic traffic; meaning free traffic. Traffic that costs you nothing obviously means lower overheads and much bigger profits. Shopify will teach you how to get this traffic with some really cool tips and techniques.
You will then be introduced to the paid traffic system of PPC advertising to further increase your traffic. While this method costs money to do, the results are instant as compared to waiting for natural search engine traffic.
Another fantastic way to get more traffic – free traffic – is to learn how to outreach to other influencers within your industry; people who have already built up a following and indirectly may be able to help your business gain exposure. As an example, if you can guest post on a popular blog that is relevant to your business, then you will gain enormous exposure if your guest post is published.
You will also be shown how to analyse your efforts in order to improve and grow. It’s important to keep tabs on what you are doing and the stats, to enable you to determine what works and what doesn’t.
