I’m a firm believer that small businesses have always been at the forefront of wealth creation throughout history.
Some of my favorite classes in college were about economics. It really ignited a passion inside of me to understand how society works.
As much as I loved these classes, there was a clear disconnect between academia and what was happening in the real world.
In the past, merchants and store owners have been overworked and super stressed. They’ve had to manage a physical storefront, deal with customers, order new products, and get the word out about their location.
While yes, they could hire employees and a staff, their time was closely tied to their business.
The times… they are a-changin’ (cue Bob Dylan music).
Now, you can start an online store, manage it from anywhere in the world, and automate a lot of the systems that go into making everything work seamlessly.
I put together a YouTube video to share the three easy steps that YOU can follow to set up your own online storefront and join the ecommerce revolution.
I know that we’ve all seen the success of massive ecommerce marketplaces like Amazon and Alibaba, but I actually think that we’re at the early stages of a huge ecommerce boom.
There are a growing number of indie creators offering their own products for sale on Etsy, Shopify, and other sites.
You no longer have to go through a major distribution channel or fashion retailer to have your product noticed.
With the combination of easy-to-use website builders, like Shopify, and powerful social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, you can reach a whole group of people from the comfort of your home office.
If you enjoy the video, take a sec to give it a thumbs up on YouTube!
