hey everybody business family my name is

0:02

Isabella I am the owner of two six

0:04

figure earning online businesses and

0:06

today I'm going to be showing you guys

0:08

how to create your own online store for

0:10

zero dollars zero dollars monthly this

0:13

website host will work for pretty much

0:15

everyone so whether you're starting a

0:17

Drop Shipping Store or you're starting

0:19

an e-commerce store that you want to

0:20

sell physical handmade Goods or anything

0:22

you guys want this is the website for

0:25

you you can create this online store in

0:28

less than 10 minutes and when I say it's

0:30

100 free guys it's 100 free so when I

0:33

started my online business I did not

0:35

have any money to spare and as a

0:37

beginner I really didn't know if I was

0:38

even going to make any money when I

0:40

started my online business so that is

0:42

why I started off with this zero dollars

0:44

monthly website host and to this day if

0:47

I start a new business tomorrow I would

0:49

still use this same exact method even

0:51

knowing that these businesses have now

0:53

turned into six figure earning

0:55

businesses I would still use free

0:57

website hosts because there's so much

0:58

more out there rather than just Shopify

1:00

gurus on YouTube will just tell you to

1:03

use Shopify or to use Wix when most of

1:05

those videos are sponsored and not only

1:07

that but a lot of people on YouTube that

1:09

talk about online business Drop Shipping

1:11

Etc are usually just trying to sell you

1:13

into a mentorship or course situation

1:15

and I just feel like all of their

1:17

content is just recycled content so

1:19

definitely watch out for that as you are

1:21

going along your journey of opening your

1:22

own online store I have nothing to sell

1:25

you here I'm just trying to get my story

1:27

and knowledge across to as many people

1:29

as possible you guys already know people

1:31

charge thousands of dollars for courses

1:33

just like this and all I ask in return

1:36

is that you smash that like button for

1:38

the YouTube algorithm And subscribe to

1:40

my channel so I can continue to make

1:41

videos just like this I don't get keep

1:44

anything I actually have a step-by-step

1:46

start your business playlist on my

1:48

YouTube channel along with so many free

1:50

courses in my free course playlist

1:52

previous free online Store

1:54

recommendations I did recommend Big

1:55

Cartel as a free website host to use I

1:59

still love big hotel well but I actually

2:01

found one that's even better that has

2:03

more free features that can help you

2:05

guys lawn with your online business

2:06

Journeys nothing in this video is

2:08

sponsored I found this website host

2:10

completely on my own and nobody else is

2:13

talking about this website host on

2:14

YouTube so you guys knew I had to so I

2:17

added the link to this video description

2:19

for you guys to sign up once you're

2:21

there just click the get started for

2:22

free button it's gonna bring you to this

2:24

page get started with a free account and

2:26

right here you can put your full name

2:29

and then you can put your email and

2:31

password I would recommend you just

2:33

creating an email for your new shop just

2:36

so you can keep things organized but

2:37

obviously creating a new email is free I

2:40

have probably like 10 or 20 different

2:42

emails so it just wants to verify that

2:44

you are an online store

2:46

and it just wants to know your region

2:48

and I did check you guys this website

2:50

can be used worldwide

2:59

you don't technically have to even fill

3:01

these out if you don't want to

3:06

so the first page I'll bring you to is

3:08

this page here and it's just going to

3:10

show you your checklist of things that

3:11

you have to do to get your store all

3:13

ready to go another reason why I like

3:16

this website is once you start making

3:18

sales and you start making money

3:19

consistently with Drop Shipping they

3:21

have a lot of different apps you can use

3:23

to then automate your Drop Shipping

3:25

Store so then you don't have to even

3:26

worry about even sending them from the

3:28

supplier to the buyer it can do that

3:30

automatically first thing I'm going to

3:32

show you how to do with this website

3:33

host is add a product

3:37

it's going to have a bunch of sample

3:39

products here so just click delete all

3:40

sample products

3:46

in this next part of this tutorial I'm

3:48

going to be showing you how you're going

3:50

to add a product as a drop shipper that

3:52

doesn't already have the product on hand

3:54

of course this is even easier if you

3:56

have your own product because you're

3:57

going to just take pictures of your own

3:58

product if you're selling inventory or

4:01

if you're making handmade Goods I'm

4:02

going to use the AliExpress listing as

4:04

an example to show you how to add a

4:05

product and typically suppliers do not

4:08

mind if you use their photo for your

4:11

online store so what I'm going to do is

4:13

I'm just going to screenshot this image

4:15

I feel like this is a good first image

4:17

that your customers will see obviously

4:19

you'll upload as many images as you can

4:22

here to make it look more official

4:24

next you're going to add your name I'm

4:26

just gonna split the screen so we can

4:28

kind of see what's going on here at both

4:30

screens so we can go ahead and just kind

4:33

of look at their title so they have they

4:35

call it Aroma diffuser air humidifier

4:38

but see how the words are kind of all

4:40

jumbled up so you can kind of just piece

4:42

them together so you could do

4:44

ultrasonic

4:47

diffuser

4:52

air humidifier this description it

4:54

allows you to insert images to this

4:57

description and you guys can kind of see

4:59

on AliExpress that's what they did they

5:01

just put images explaining what their

5:03

products does we're going to upload that

5:05

image

5:06

from your computer

5:11

and you guys can see that that image

5:13

uploaded to the description So You're

5:15

Gonna Leave This checked it says

5:17

required shipping or pickup leave that

5:18

check and then we're going to price this

5:20

at 60.59.99

5:24

then just click save

5:28

and if you want to add the buy now

5:30

button to each listing which you would

5:31

see that on all shops you can just click

5:33

this button and it will do that for you

5:35

so they can click buy now instead of

5:37

adding it to their cart but either way

5:39

it already codes it to where it's set up

5:41

like a shop already for you which you'll

5:44

see in the next clip now let's just go

5:46

to shipping before we forget that

5:47

because that is important

5:49

and you're gonna go down I always picked

5:52

fixed rate per item and I usually charge

5:54

5.50 for my shipping on my online store

5:57

I have a free course on my YouTube

5:58

channel just about shipping so

6:00

definitely go check that out if you're

6:01

shipping your own products so you could

6:03

offer free shipping to be honest but me

6:05

personally I never really offer free

6:07

shipping and I still get a lot of sales

6:09

a lot of dropshipping stores do offer

6:10

free shipping so we'll leave it alone

6:12

for this time being if not you're able

6:16

to just use this button just put in one

6:18

or two pounds and it'll just create a

6:21

shipping estimate so it looks good with

6:25

your buyer

6:26

so when you're done just click save so

6:28

all of these are just kind of extra

6:29

buttons which you guys can look through

6:31

this website is a lot more extensive

6:33

than Big Cartel but not too complicated

6:35

so I really like it like I'm really glad

6:37

I found this for you guys the next thing

6:38

that we're going to do very important is

6:39

click on payment so you guys can see

6:42

they accept payments through PayPal

6:45

square and stripe I personally use

6:47

stripe and PayPal for both of my online

6:49

stores and I highly recommend

6:51

you're using stripe because a lot of

6:54

customers it just looks more legit to

6:55

them I've never had a problem with it so

6:58

definitely recommend that

6:59

um let's go ahead and go to and if you

7:01

have trouble setting this up throughout

7:03

this process when you're connecting and

7:04

enabling it

7:06

um you can always reach out to the

7:06

stripe customer service and they're

7:08

always so helpful so the next thing that

7:10

you're going to do scroll over the

7:11

website button and then just go to

7:12

design then just scroll down and click

7:15

change address under site address and

7:18

you're going to just put your

7:20

store name here so you're going to just

7:22

do

7:23

we picked our name to be cozy homes so

7:26

that's going to be our website so it is

7:28

going to have this dot company site at

7:30

the end here don't worry guys liter I'm

7:32

telling you I've used like the free

7:36

domains and no one really cared I still

7:39

had an amazing sales conversion because

7:41

it's about my marketing that's what made

7:42

the customer buy for me was my marketing

7:44

if you can't afford a domain don't beat

7:46

yourself up for it don't let that stop

7:48

you from starting

7:49

um if you want to buy a domain in the

7:51

future you can I paid like ten dollars a

7:53

year for mine so it really wasn't much

7:55

but same thing like if you don't want to

7:57

even commit to a domain

7:59

then you don't have to because they give

8:00

you a free domain with this website so

8:02

it's perfect so after you put your store

8:04

name in there just click save

8:06

so your store now has its own official

8:08

domain for free

8:10

cozyhomes.company.site now let's go down

8:12

to site appearance and click edit

8:15

so this is the design area of how you're

8:17

going to design your website do not let

8:19

this overwhelm you because this can

8:21

actually be really fun so you're going

8:22

to click on themes

8:26

and they have a bunch of different

8:28

themes that you could use let's click on

8:30

home and furniture and see what's in

8:31

there I thought this Firefly theme was

8:34

really nice

8:35

they also have like this stay calm theme

8:38

so actually for this purpose I think

8:40

let's just try out the stay calm theme

8:42

also you guys this website has way more

8:43

themes than Big Cartel so you're gonna

8:46

just go through each one individually

8:48

and that's how you're gonna get through

8:50

this today so first thing first go to

8:52

headline and cover image you can put

8:54

your store name here so we're gonna do

8:56

cozy homes

8:58

because that's our store name cozy homes

9:00

and you can go ahead and like right here

9:02

what your shop is about so you could put

9:05

we're a small local home decor shop or

9:09

you could even put like diffuser shop

9:10

like if you were focused on selling

9:12

diffusers

9:14

diffusers you could put that there too

9:17

so we're a small local diffuser shop for

9:19

those who are amazing

9:22

obviously I think I would rewrite that

9:23

but that's good for right now okay so

9:25

let's go down

9:27

and you can change this background to

9:30

something else if you'd like so I would

9:32

change it to something like relaxing and

9:34

you could even just look up on Google

9:35

like backgrounds and so many different

9:37

backgrounds will come up save it that

9:39

and then you can upload it here let's

9:41

click on background options and see what

9:43

they have here you could even put a

9:44

video here so many I I love how many

9:47

features this website has and then they

9:49

even have overlays if you want to make

9:50

something more colorful so it stands out

9:53

more

9:54

so you can kind of like play with it

9:55

like that as well

9:58

So then whenever you're done just click

9:59

save don't forget to click save whenever

10:01

you're doing these things and then next

10:03

thing you could just go through each one

10:05

and really just test out and see if you

10:07

guys like it I'm gonna make sure our

10:09

products

10:10

um look good so click on store

10:16

we need to like look and see what's the

10:18

best so I would pick medium it was on

10:19

large I would pick medium

10:21

definitely keep that as show selection

10:24

and then you can change your ratio so I

10:27

would usually do it like a square me

10:29

personally but you could keep it like

10:31

that in this case we do have to keep it

10:33

like that because it was a square image

10:35

already and honestly what I would do too

10:37

is try to find different diffusers you

10:39

could even look at the same supplier

10:41

because you know they have fast shipment

10:42

times and sell maybe two more diffusers

10:44

so it looks a little bit more legitimate

10:46

if not you totally do not have to you

10:49

can sell one product

10:50

um and then they already have this ready

10:52

for you so you'll after you do that

10:55

click save

10:56

and they already have this part ready

10:58

for you um it says why choose us so you

11:00

guys can just fill in here

11:02

um your own like things and they they

11:04

prompt you on like what you should say

11:06

here and then if you scroll down this is

11:09

probably my favorite part is it allows

11:11

you to put in your own customer

11:13

testimonies and that just helps people

11:15

to trust you more so when you're done

11:17

just click save

11:18

so if you don't want to put in about a

11:20

section or any of these sections you can

11:22

just turn them off like that

11:23

and then um just go back

11:26

go to location we're not going to show

11:28

our location they do not need to know

11:30

that and then

11:32

um go back again

11:33

and then like contact information I

11:35

would not put a phone number just put

11:37

your email that you want them to email

11:39

you at for your business and then your

11:42

um any other social media accounts if

11:44

you just put your links into your social

11:46

media accounts here that will also make

11:48

it look a lot more legit so just put

11:50

your social media accounts in here after

11:52

you create it for your business then

11:54

just click save

11:56

so really quick let's go back to the

11:58

store section you need to scroll down

12:00

and click on product listing categories

12:02

make sure you guys click show show on

12:05

all this you don't have to put the S key

12:07

number

12:09

um but also make sure like product image

12:10

is showing or else you're literally not

12:12

going to have a product there you could

12:13

click show buy now button perfect looks

12:16

so good

12:17

um so just yeah make sure that all of

12:19

that is showing or else your product

12:21

will not be appearing on your website

12:24

so this is the shop that we just created

12:26

in less than 10 minutes I think it looks

12:29

really good and you could even link your

12:31

customers straight to the product itself

12:33

so they don't even have to see that main

12:34

page

12:36

obviously you're going to add your

12:37

special touches and make it look even

12:39

better than this

12:40

um but this is just a basis of showing

12:43

you how to create a website for free in

12:46

less than 10 minutes thank you guys so

12:47

much for watching if you haven't already

12:49

make sure you guys smash that like

12:50

12:52

can continue to make videos just like

12:54

12:57
