Here's why you need to teach 'How to Start an Online Store'...
When was the last time you bought something online? Today? Yesterday? Probably, at a minimum, you purchase something online once a month.
After all, when you're busy or can't get out to a bricks and mortar store, buying online is the logical solution. And there are a lot of things you can't even get in a physical store.
Whether you're an entrepreneur wanting to start a new business or you're an existing small business owner….
Online stores give you 24/7 access to customers around the world who want your products.
But that's not all. An online store also:
- Enables you to offer MORE products… without having to expand your retail space
- Makes it easy for your customers to buy from you… since they don't have to leave their homes
- Increases your revenue… especially if you currently only have a bricks and mortar store
And with all the existing ecommerce platforms available today,…
You can start your own with minimal time and expense.
Is starting an online store something your audience would be interested in?
If so, there are still quite a few questions they'll need to answer and options to navigate to make sure their store will be successful.
And it's difficult for your audience to do that on their own.
Luckily, you're going to be there to help them get started on the right track.
You don’t even have to create any of the course content yourself!
With our brandable, Ready-to-Teach (PLR) course materials, you can quickly launch your own program on How to Start an Online Store in as little as a weekend.
You’ll teach your students or coaching clients how to:
- Define your expectations, set goals, and plan your budget for your online store
- Describe your target market, so that you can predict the behaviors, motivations, and goals of your potential customers
- Choose your niche, so that you can choose products that will sell to your specific audience
- Find the best products in that niche, so that you can meet your audience’s needs and run a successful online store
- Identify the legal entity and essential requirements for your store, so that you know you’re operating within the law of your country or state
- Choose the best online store platform for your business and define the branding you will use to create a coherent brand message
- Set up your store with enticing photos and product descriptions, so that you can start selling
- Start attracting customers to your store, so that you can begin to bring in revenue
(Note: The course does not go through the technical set up of an online store. Each platform has its own tutorials, so you can direct your students there or recommend an ecommerce platform that you're already familiar with – such as Shopify or WooCommerce.)

However, we recommend that you rewrite and add to any web-based content that you want found by search engines (like Google), so that it will rank higher in search engines.
