The cool thing about this video is that it shows the side everybody kinda tries to hide, which is the hard work, detication and literally months worth of burning neurons in order to become sucessful, the beauty we see afterward is simply the result of countless hours of preparation and effort to get it done. I couldn't be more thankful for having you telling us how it gets run behind the curtain.
Man😊 I can’t stop watching this video. Clear and and very detailed. No hiding secrets. Man you don’t know how I need to deal with manufacturing. Thank you. I hope all TH-camr do the same. Be clear and honest with the community or go to paid ads.
Dan, as a first time inventor who is about to launch, this is pure gold. My first shipping container is en route from China and I'm working with a fulfillment center. Yes, it hits the margins a bit, but I wanted to know that everything would be handled by pro's.
Why not making video about invenstor and how to find them for people who have zero cash and invenstor who can invenst international?! 2. How to open business from start with steps! 3. Can you hire someone or orgnization when you start business to help you to arrange things step by step for everything you need to make better business story and income! 4. Dose Shopify invest in international projects?
@@dandemsky6311 I’ll take you up on that. Yours was one of the best videos on Shopify yet. Incredibly genuine. Currently I am in Europe, Germany and Denmark and returning sometime next week. Let me know how I can reach you. I think it would be awesome if I could have a chat. Thank you very much
I have two questions, one is, what do you charge if you have a prototype you'd like to create (only have the ideas, design etc but the product doesn't exist) and do indiegogo takes money from your campaign?
Great Video, Learned A Lot, Thanks - Question, please. In you video you show that your products appeared in different media, example Daily Mail. Did they do stories on you or was it paid advertising that you are referencing?
im in a different situation, im looking to acquire a business, its on the cheap side. includes patents / rights, tooling, schedules, online store and social media presence, everything. its all set up and ready to assume control too much information is a no no, right? as im not starting from scratch or my idea.. its literally up for grabs and I want to to take advantage asap. what do you suggest I do?
THIS ADVICE GETS 10 STARS!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thanks for this AMAZING video -- one of the BEST I have seen out there. The organization of format, content and delivery was awesome. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors. Let abundance abound...!!!
Did you use the samples you got from the suppliers for photoshoots to put on your crowdfunding page? Does that mean you set up the whole campaign just as production was beginning?
Yes. we photographed our prototypes which were essentially production samples. we held off on production until the campaign finished and we knew our quantities
Dan thank you so very much for this super informative video. My name is Sabari and I am the founder of the educational start-up EdThruStory. This video is such a big blessing. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your creative approaches especially the custom video that you sent to your friends. I have subscribed to your channel. Eagerly looking forward to learning from you Dan. Happy blessed year 2023!!! It would be great to connect to you so that I can get your valuable inputs for my upcoming Kickstarter. Just my humble request Dan. Thank you.
Hey guys, please note that the free trial promotion has changed. The free trial period is now for 3 days, after which it will cost only 1$/month for the next 3 months!
I'm about to create a gofundme that gives a gift upfront. The gift is how to fold a piece of paper that when torn in half, creates a cross and the words, Live, Love, Life, Hell, Vile and Evil. The story is amazing and it took over 20 years before all the words, other than HELL came to me. We are being wrongfully evicted from a home we have lived in for 7 years and have paid over $130,000 in rent to two very unappreciative, Evil, Vile humans. However, I want to repay evil with good and raise money to buy the house so that I can keep my business and life from being fully disrupted, downgraded and destroyed.
@@gbolagunabiodun9198Hello my friend. I am soon launching a crowdfunding project for my startup. My team would appreciate help. Let me know what your thoughts are
Chinese manufactures don't care one bit about your "entrepreneurial background" and all that empty talk. They're straight to the point and just need the necessary information to produce your product.
Hi! This would depend on which crowdfunding platform you decide to use, but the majority of them support campaigns from outside of the United States. Calculating international shipping costs and duties while ensuring profitability can be challenging, especially when starting out. Some tips that we can offer are for you to explore different shipping carriers and to compare their rates, to continuously monitor the carrier's performance (their cost and shipping times, for example), as well as to regularly review your shipping strategy and pivoting where needed. If available in your region, using Shopify Shipping: shopify.link/Q18v can help offer more accurate shipping rates on your store. Otherwise, a shipping app from the Shopify App Store: shopify.link/w0p7 can also help. Just a reminder that it's your customer's own responsibility to pay for any duties and import taxes for their orders. But if you'd like to offer them the option of collecting any of these fees on your store's checkout, you can definitely look at implementing this feature for your store: shopify.link/QDAl.
@@learnwithshopify thanks for your reply. We are working on an Indiegogo campaign. We have had our Shopify store running already and we use Shipstation. We only sell in the US and would be concerned if we have to ship out of the country because we couldn't afford the cost.
Gotcha! Shipping internationally can definitely involve additional expenses. In saying this, having the right strategy could help in keeping the costs low - plus, using an app like Shipstation should allow you to charge customers the most accurate shipping rate on checkout too. This would help in your case, as the customer would pretty much cover most, if not all, of the shipping costs involved with their order. Feel free to have a read through our blog here: shopify.link/rmpn, and this one here: shopify.link/mDG8, if you'd like some help in figuring out an international shipping strategy for your store!
We've got a guide to product photography here: shopify.link/5Vdr. There's also a guide specifically for smartphone photography: shopify.link/bnPn. Both offer advice for taking great photos on a budget!
ngl 'kickstarter', 'indiegogo' and 'crowdfunding' seems pretty scammy to me. Seems more like an ICO / vapourware type of company. Either you have a company with an already made product ready to ship or you don't. You don't build a plane while it's still taking off on the runway
Amazing video. I’m so frustrated because I don’t understand half of this and have zero business background, but I have an amazing business idea that has some serious potential for becoming a multi million dollar company. I just have no clue how to even start it or make the product
It sounds like you'd be able to benefit from hiring a Shopify Expert for product sourcing guidance! Feel free to take a look at our list of Experts here (shopify.link/W5k0) as they can help you bring your business idea to life.
Dude. The email generation lead math you proposed is TERRIBLE. The cost of acquiring a Backer outweighs the revenue they generate. Based on that math, the expense of reaching enough potential project backers can exceed the campaign's funding goals leading to diminishing returns and more likely, losses. Using your math, it shows that $2000 will lead to 30 Backers on average. For a campaign at $36k and a lowest tier of $55, you would need roughly 655 backers. To get all those backers from email leads, it would require 21.8k leads which translates to $43.6k. It's a loss of nearly $8k and not a single dime left over to actually deliver goods. Am I missing something here?
