1) Sell a Physical Product

 

Selling a physical product is often far easier and faster than trying to market or sell services. Many companies will print your designs onto mugs, t-shirts, hats, etc., for a small fee and have them shipped directly to your customers (Amazon being one of those companies). If you’re looking for a way to get started in e-commerce without much risk, selling physical products may be your answer.

 

2) Add PPC Campaigns

 

Pay-per-click (PPC) ads are a great way to make money on Shopify. A PPC campaign is essentially an advertising platform that shows your products in search results, sponsored by Google or another company. For example, let’s say you sell t-shirts. If you have a well-constructed ad, people can see your t-shirt and click buy right away if they’re interested—making it very easy for you to make money off of them. One thing to keep in mind is that PPC campaigns take up time and effort; they don’t happen instantly, so it’s best to start them as soon as possible after starting a store. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can start making money!

 

To set up a PPC campaign, head over to Google AdWords and create an account. First, your created your account, follow these steps: 

Select New Campaign from within AdWords and enter some basic information about your business including name, address, and contact information. You will also need to choose which type of product/service category fits your business best from a drop-down menu before moving forward with creating your first ad group title.

 

After entering all relevant information into each field on the screen be sure to click Save & Continue to move on to step 2 which allows for further customization options regarding location targeting, budgeting, bids, and daily budgets.

 

3) Build an email list

 

If you want to make money with your online store, building an email list is one of the best ways to go about it. When you’re marketing a new product or special offer, provide a clear link back to your website in every email and mention your email signup form (sometimes called a lead magnet) in your content as well.

 

If someone gives you their email address but then doesn’t receive anything valuable from you in return, chances are they’ll get tired of all your emails eventually. However, if they can earn something by signing up—like access to an eBook you wrote, for example—they’ll be more likely to stay engaged with your brand even after they’ve received what they initially signed up for.

 

4) Use Facebook Ads

 

If you’re just getting started and want a quick way to start making money on your store, Facebook ads are a great option. You can start by setting up an ad that promotes your product or set up an ad that encourages users to get their own Shopify store (which is how I started!). We have tons of resources in our free, 6-day email course called Zero To Launch where we teach you how exactly to do these things and more.

Do they seem familiar? Have you ever wondered why they sound so much as advice from a self-help book written by someone who’s never actually published anything before?

 

Let me tell you something: most editors, agents, publishers, and authors don’t know what makes for a good title. Sure there are general rules, but as with everything else in writing—rules were made to be broken.

7) Become a Dropshipper

 

If you’re looking for an easy way to make money with Shopify, then consider being a drop shipper. In short, dropshipping is a type of e-commerce model where a store doesn’t keep inventory and instead pays a third party (the drop shipper) to deliver products directly to customers.

8) Join The Amazon Associates Program

 

As you’re getting ready to launch your own eCommerce store, you’ll probably start thinking about driving traffic. One way is by doing sponsored posts for other websites. Sponsored posts usually pay around $50-$75 per post and include a link back to your site in exchange for a mention or review of a product.

 

The more niche sites you have on your resume, the better—those with an audience that would be interested in your products can really help drive sales from day one. It also gives you a chance to interact with new audiences, which is something every brand should strive for.

 

9) Do Sponsor Posts for Other Sites

 

People love blogs and they’re hungry for content. As a result, there are many sites out there that will pay you good money if you can provide them with interesting and unique content. Do your research, but be sure to follow any rules these sites set forth as well. You don’t want them getting mad at you for breaking some terms of service or anything like that! If you find yourself writing quite a bit about products in certain niches, consider starting your own affiliate site. This is when you earn commissions from products that you recommend to people based on their needs.

 

When it comes down to it, there are all sorts of ways to make money online, so get creative and use your imagination! If nothing else works for you right now, start with freelance writing—it’s a great way to get started and earn extra cash while honing your skills.

 

10) Share Your Store On Other Platforms

 

Facebook and Instagram both have more than 1 billion users, so even if you’re just getting started in your eCommerce business it’s a good idea to start sharing your store and products.

 

When you find products that are similar or compete with yours, share them with your audience. You can also use Facebook ads to target customers interested in specific topics or topics related to your niche. This is a great way to get people into your store without paying anything out of pocket. It’s completely free advertising!
