Chris Conrady Can you take a picture of your bookshelf and post it on Instagram or something I like reading books in there probably are books that I haven’t read already on that shelf and I like the way you think not only in business model way but generally so I think if you’d like to share those books I’d enjoy most of them thank you :)

So much valuable content and the best part is your not trying to sell a course from making these vids like 90% of the other youtubers making ecom vids keep it up man
Enron went broke from corruption. Businesses can fail and succeed with loans. Businesses can also fail and succeed without loans. It can be a great leveraging tool for a good product to grow faster. And it can be a poor tool to try to supplement a bad product. Your business should be able to support itself but a loan can help scale it faster. But shouldn’t be used in attempt to prove a failing product.
This is both true and false at the same time. Many very successful business founders, did not know what they were doing when they got started. In reality, part of success does involve LUCK! However, luck does often favor those who are prepared. The question is how much do you believe in yourself and your ideas? If you knew that whatever you were planning to do, was going to work for sure, you would have no problem taking out a loan, using personal or business credit cards, borrowing from friends and family, etc. Worse than taking out loans is to borrow from friends and family and not be able to pay them back. That damage can last a lifetime and can be far worse than damaging your credit which can be fixed.
@Reginald Holt Actually, your comment is the ignorant perspective. The OP stated "unless you know what you're doing and have substantial experience". Those are very smart words. Using your argument, someone who doesn't know that they're doing and with no experience should blindly take out a loan.
A casual millionaire with quote unquote free content on how he did it. Amazing dude, big inspiration and a really creative soul. Amazing to get insight on how one can do it!
Well first off, it's "quote unquote". AND, it would have just been easier to do "free content", and people would have not even had to think about WTF you were saying!! Secondly, don't buy into all of the propaganda BS from a Shopify infomercial!! People used to have these types of infomercials on TV all the time, and people would spend thousands trying someone else's BS get rich scam!! The only people getting rich are the people taking a fools money!!
@@Anarchy-Is-Liberty Fair enough, fixed that. But i have no clue what you are talking about in the rest of your comment. I just said its cool to see how he succeeded doing what he did and that he shares some of his journey with others. Nothing else
I’ve been in the game for a minute and I have to say... your vlogs are really the best in the ecomm niche. Great story telling, knowledge and overall value. Appreciate your work I’ve been sharing this with my crew.
Can’t say enough on how refreshing this video was. Real content. No fluff of mansions, beaches, and fancy cars where they share very little actual insight without having to buy their course. Thank you! Subscribed!
seems legit. my "dude tryna sell me something" rader didn't go off yet. subbed, looking to run a pod business(been 2 years doing it on and off but cant seem to scale)
11:00 This is my favorite part of the video. So many people putting in their video titles "How I made 3 billion sales, 5 trillion in profit, and bought a private jet in 1 week with this easy trick!" which makes people think that this is a get rich quick thing. I learned that it takes alot of work, money, and time to make these things profitable. But if you pay your due's it can be done. Thanks for the video Chris!
Hi Chris! Great video, I'm from Mexico and it's been 1 year and a half since I started ecom, sometimes it's frustrating when you are doing this alone and all the gurus telling you how much money they made in 10 minutes or in 1 month, this is a long time commitment just like you said, thanks for your words. :)
And here I sit. 2 university degrees. 15 years of working for others. Now in scary chemical industry and somebody is just selling stuff online and living the life. :/ Time for a change I feel.
Save ur money so that when u quit u will have enough just Incase (20k saved) I saved 15k b4 I quit but I suggest more. And start ur business as a side job. If it works then quit ur jon
Wow, my heart goes out to you guys. Not only did you create an efficient and concise video, but it really felt personal and ultimately really helpful in my pursuit of e-commerce. 10/10 delivery. I wish you both the best of luck. Thank you
Wow honestly this channel is crazy informative. I havent gotten back into Shopify for at least a year and I recently had great ideas for a POD store. Your channel is doing great man! keep it up!
i am loving your channel and learning alot from you, my name is Gary from South Africa, i lost my job last year now i invested all my cents into buillding my own ecom site, i wish i had came across this video prior to make my biggest mistake ""tshirt printing" but we move on, its a lesson.
You cleared up a lot for me! For months I have been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong...and basically EVERYTHING!!! LOL, I don't have a dropshipping store, I literally have my own skincare brand. And listening to you...the fight is real! I know now what I have to do: until I have the revenue to market on a larger scale I have to put in the footwork...then I will be able to invest in my business. Thanks for sharing the information!
you are a lot more transparent in your teachings I dont really see in many others I would love to be able to get more advise in creating sales in my store
Hey Chris, Just stumbled across your TH-cam & I can’t praise you enough for what you’ve achieve & the content you offer! Really good for someone who wants to learn some basics about e-commerce/drop shipping. Keep up the great work
one of the best GENUINE youtubers on Ecommerce.The others are okay but mostly because they wanna monetize on their audiences. Here, Chris ONLY gives value from his real-life experiences. Please post more videos like this.
Great content. Thanks for the advices. I am a beginner, any recommendation about going with a store on Shopify or start selling on marketplace like Etsy, Ebay, etc. ? Also do you recommend to start with one product (POD) and target many niches or many products and target one niche ? Thanks !
Hey Yamo, thanks so much for the feedback! Definitely go with Shopify if you are first starting. Don't go with another persons platform like Etsy, only use it for research purposes. The benefit of using Shopify is that you own all your customer data and can build your own brand, send your own traffic, etc... if you use Etsy, you are reliant on their platform which comes with tons of limitations. As for the type of store- I recommend going with a niche one! That is the ultimate goal. BUT, if you are unsure of a niche... start a general store selling different POD products. Once you narrow in on something working, you can branch off. I just don't recommend a general store over the longterm because of the lack of longevity. Let me know if you have other questions!
The one video I needed to see... Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :) I am on, an emotional roller coaster 🎢 ....but vids like yours, help me back to safety, sometimes safety seems scary...
I had to replay the last bit in the supermarket. That guy in your hometown is me right now. Playing it safe because I'm scared of losing money. The exact opposite of what Kiyosaki says. I've got to expand my mindset.
Hi Chris, seen a lot of bullshit with ecom and drop shipping that just makes you feel like it’s all a scam, but you seem pretty genuine, just got one question, if your working this hard to build a brand, why are you building it to sell? Surely you’ll have more heart in it if you were thinking long term permanent brand owned by yourselves ? Oh is there a way to communicate with you to have a chat about strategies starting up? Do you have a ebook or something ?
@Martina Smith just curious but couldn’t I do the same by making a logo or design and working with a supplier directly off of aliexpress? Trying to figure out the difference. I know shipping is one major difference but besides that?
@@hector10908 Print on Demand suppliers are typically based in your home country so shipping times are typically same week. Aliexpress is going to take weeks to get to the client in most cases and can be much lower quality. This is just a brief overview for most cases though.
Thanks bro. That last piece about your friend in the grocery store really hit home. I’ve got that same problem and I needed to hear it. Keep up the great work! 👍🏾 subbing now!
Man, awesome content! Should I make a store for each niche or merge all into a big "custom items" store? I mean (example): 1 website selling yellow guy canvas 1 website selling custom name canvas OR 1 webiste selling both
Website selling both and promote one product and recomend other product it will help to sell the two product if you are dropshiping but if you have fulfilment center you have to promote both or promate as general store
This is something I really want to get into but I have yet found anybody making a video on start up or product/supplier sourcing or minimal investment strategies.
Great video guys. I like how you pretty much keep it on topic and it's not all flashy and about you driving lambos. Love it! Just a bit confused as why on Chris Facebook Page his group is closed, and no links to his websites work. What's up with that?? A little strange. Anyways, good video tho.
If I could have a moment of your time, I tried online businesses with Amazon and Wordpress back in the day. I learned a lot, but didn't make any money. This was in '09, and when I learned that most online success was the result of savvy blackhat SEO, somewhat jaded, I decided I would concentrate on my traditional job. A decade later and I find myself in the position of needing to work from home. I have had a good 15 year career in management, and have seen the online business model mature a great deal in that time. I have a background in IT, (was an old Rackspace Linux server admin) and recently learned a lot about online marketing working as a marketing director for a real estate company. I even have some (not much) but some capital, So long story short, I think I'm ready for round two. Any suggestions?
I am cheering you on! I will give my 2 cents that you did not ask for.But I learned and learning the business by watching TH-cam and joining Facebook groups like Printful and the Passive Owl and of course Here with Chris. They also have excellent youtube content also. I do not mess around with the people trying to sell me a coarse.Way to much free information on the net.Printful has an excellent course on how to advertise and where the best places to advertise.
Hi Chris I just started selling on Amazon merch and etsy pod shirts, should I drop those and focus on shopify alone? Right now I'm a new father and have maybe 100 week for FB ads can you recommend a strategy? I want to do business for the long run but right now I just want to believe that this can work. Thank you
Amazing advice! I have a print to order site and I really got it to scale! But how do we feel about making more useless items and clothing waste with the state of the environment, plastic, and waste? Does generating profit and selling worth it all at the end? I personally struggle with this on my conscience as a business owner for over 12 years. 15.1 million tons of textile waste yearly, do we need to add more?
I watch this and still wonder what the catch is. Like where is the course you sell? or the bonus I get for buying stuff from your website? or what else is the problem im overseeing?!
Love the video, one thing I would suggest is changing the title to something like how to go from 0 - 5 million on Shopify, how to is a main key word and the TH-cam algorithm will show your video to more people and with your audience retention being high your views will sky rocket
$0 to $50,000,000 is the video I just released. Im building a brand in the next 3d to help those affected by corona virus. Chris you inspired me to make a video about the company I helped build ( deliverydudes ) Similar setup except I own much less of the pie. I will continue releasing content. You made business content so bingeable - similar to a reality show. Hope to emulate bits and pieces as I get started. Cheers, Chris and I hope to chat w you about biz sometime soon.
Your video is very helpful. I'm working to just get off the ground. I improved my store site itself and focused on unique products from my own photos and working with others.
that settles it Chris Conrady is a left handed Ecoms genius. this video just taught me so much i have been searing for 2 years now to learn thanks a lot Chris☺
It s been 3 years that Im watching ecom related ytb vids, you re a whole new level. So disappointing that you don't have much videos I could binge watch and learn from. But again quality over quantity So much respect 🙏🙏
@@InvolvingChrisi have a question. I have like 50k in my accnts and suck at being an entrepreneur because I've never been the business type. Can you start me up and I'll pay you?
Hi Chris, hope you´re well. If you were starting from 0, no savings, no money, no experience what would you do? what would you recommend? do you think there is an opportunity for someone in that situation?
Wow, that was a very great story. I wish you were retailing hair products that we wholesale )) It is extremely hard job to do proper retailing nowadays, and You do really look like a bit to Bill Gates :) Wish U even greater success in your future Chris. **For Your Audience in here, Just in case if anyone looking for a hair product to retail, we are a wholesaler and we always welcome retailers.
Great advice regarding high ticket products and using Etsy to find suppliers! What are your thoughts on creating a shopify store that combines a few different Etsy artisans who sell similar types of artwork? This would be an art gallery model where I'd help several jewelry "micro-brands" sell under a gallery brand. The three main problems I see with this are brand confusion (assuming they won't white label and mail out their products using their brand), a lower prices on Etsy vs. higher prices listed on my gallery (same issue with your metal-working example), and their inability to scale if lots of orders come through. Also, what do you think of testing already existing canvas designs by making deals directly with artists who are currently selling passively on various POD aggregate websites? (Obviously, this could save on design costs in the testing phase yet become expensive later if the design scales.)
Hey Chris, awesome video, thumbs up from me✌ I'm just curious which POD company you use or do you fulfill yourself somehow? I have a great idea but after looking at printful/printify prices etc they seem way too overpriced. Please advise...
What's up Sam! Thanks so much for this feedback! Yes Printful is pricey, I'd only recommend using them once you've got some momentum going. I currently use 2 POD centers: Gooten & Printful. If I had to recommend 2 fulfillment centers that give you good value for price it'd be Printify and Gooten. We used Printify for over a year, and eventually parted ways because we stopped selling their products. You mentioned Printify is overpriced, what product(s) are you looking at specifically? Gooten and Printify both have great platforms and phenomenal customer service. Gooten specifically has had great improvements lately with their personalization system making it easier for sellers. Huge win. Let me know if I can give more clarity on anything!
Thank you so much! I liked this video very much! I have a question please: When people receive my message, will they be considered on Manychat Bot's subscriber list? I mean, can I send them a free Broadcast next time?
Thanks. I have decided to start an e commerce business. I am a 55 year old female living in South Africa. My question may be stupid because at this moment I am totally technically challenged! Is the revenue I will be working for in dollars or Rands? Do you know of a mentor that can teach me in South Africa? Great video a little bit fast for me when you go on the computer but I am sure it's just education I need
Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Hope you all had a great weekend 😁
Hey Chris! That was the best video you've ever done. I'm pumped and learned so much. A++++ . You're awesome bro!

11:53 DO NOT take out a loan unless you KNOW what you're doing and have substantial experience!
Enron went broke from corruption. Businesses can fail and succeed with loans. Businesses can also fail and succeed without loans. It can be a great leveraging tool for a good product to grow faster. And it can be a poor tool to try to supplement a bad product. Your business should be able to support itself but a loan can help scale it faster. But shouldn’t be used in attempt to prove a failing product.
This is both true and false at the same time. Many very successful business founders, did not know what they were doing when they got started. In reality, part of success does involve LUCK! However, luck does often favor those who are prepared.
The question is how much do you believe in yourself and your ideas? If you knew that whatever you were planning to do, was going to work for sure, you would have no problem taking out a loan, using personal or business credit cards, borrowing from friends and family, etc. Worse than taking out loans is to borrow from friends and family and not be able to pay them back.

Right now I'm a new father and have maybe 100 week for FB ads can you recommend a strategy? I want to do business for the long run but right now I just want to believe that this can work. Thank you
I just watched this week before lunching my shirts store :) seems like am gonna start it anyway
All the best, please share the sites url
What did you use for the email marketing, Like the program that you showed in the video and had all your email marketing results?
Hi chris.... thank you for making the video.
Is there a way to view what is the demograph that visit a competitor's store or who buys from them?
Amazing advice! I have a print to order site and I really got it to scale! But how do we feel about making more useless items and clothing waste with the state of the environment, plastic, and waste? Does generating profit and selling worth it all at the end? I personally struggle with this on my conscience as a business owner for over 12 years. 15.1 million tons of textile waste yearly, do we need to add more?
HER WHY by Laura Fama you’re not getting a ton of fan mail with this reality check. But fair play to you
Depends on whether or not you have kids. I don’t, so none of this bothers my conscious.
I mean, r u serious?!?!
Why don't you set up a business that addresses this issue then?
Underrated channel. Subscribed instantly love your content you provide very valuable advice!
Out of all the books on your bookshelf, which are the top 10 that you personally go back to for whatever the reason maybe?
Great video! Thank you, Chris!
This is the first video I've seen of yours. Thank you for sharing your mindset and insights.
I watch this and still wonder what the catch is. Like where is the course you sell? or the bonus I get for buying stuff from your website? or what else is the problem im overseeing?!
Right?? Ive watched a few videos now and i keep wondering when he is going to plug his course
Love the video, one thing I would suggest is changing the title to something like how to go from 0 - 5 million on Shopify, how to is a main key word and the TH-cam algorithm will show your video to more people and with your audience retention being high your views will sky rocket
Good piece of advice! thanks so much for this. Still learning when it comes to the TH-cam algorithm and finding what works best
thank you chris , you are amazing
Hey Chris, great video as usual. Which print on demand supplier do you use for your canvases and posters? Thanks
$0 to $50,000,000 is the video I just released. Im building a brand in the next 3d to help those affected by corona virus. Chris you inspired me to make a video about the company I helped build ( deliverydudes ) Similar setup except I own much less of the pie. I will continue releasing content. You made business content so bingeable - similar to a reality show. Hope to emulate bits and pieces as I get started. Cheers, Chris and I hope to chat w you about biz sometime soon.
Where can I find your estores? I didn't see it in the description.
Your video is very helpful. I'm working to just get off the ground. I improved my store site itself and focused on unique products from my own photos and working with others.
that settles it Chris Conrady is a left handed Ecoms genius. this video just taught me so much i have been searing for 2 years now to learn thanks a lot Chris☺
Chris, I sooooo appreciate the information! I cannot express how your words are a light beaming out of a cesspool of snake oil salesmen.
couldn't have said it better myself!!!!!! I was almost conned the other day by one!!
It s been 3 years that Im watching ecom related ytb vids, you re a whole new level.
So disappointing that you don't have much videos I could binge watch and learn from.
But again quality over quantity
So much respect 🙏🙏
Thanks so much for the feedback Najilae! Let me know if you ever have any questions I can answer
@@InvolvingChrisi have a question. I have like 50k in my accnts and suck at being an entrepreneur because I've never been the business type. Can you start me up and I'll pay you?
Great video! Do you have a video on Facebook/ Instagram AD's? Which ones work and which ones don't?
Do u ship directly from the manufacturer or take inventory?
Thanks you for your work, I watched all your videos and you brought me so much value, thanks a lot !
Tq Chris for the advice, it hard to get gud advice nowadays, Everyone wants to sell.
How is this guy SOOO successful, spends SOOO much time on the computer...and doesn't have Anti-Reflective on his lenses???
Hi Chris, hope you´re well. If you were starting from 0, no savings, no money, no experience what would you do? what would you recommend? do you think there is an opportunity for someone in that situation?
Wow, that was a very great story. I wish you were retailing hair products that we wholesale ))
It is extremely hard job to do proper retailing nowadays, and You do really look like a bit to Bill Gates :) Wish U even greater success in your future Chris.
**For Your Audience in here, Just in case if anyone looking for a hair product to retail, we are a wholesaler and we always welcome retailers.
Just found your channel , Outstanding Content Chris! #subscribed
This kind of video is dope - A mix of the « Yes Theory » editing and ecommmerce content
Appreciate the feedback Peter!
Great advice regarding high ticket products and using Etsy to find suppliers! What are your thoughts on creating a shopify store that combines a few different Etsy artisans who sell similar types of artwork? This would be an art gallery model where I'd help several jewelry "micro-brands" sell under a gallery brand. The three main problems I see with this are brand confusion (assuming they won't white label and mail out their products using their brand), a lower prices on Etsy vs. higher prices listed on my gallery (same issue with your metal-working example), and their inability to scale if lots of orders come through. Also, what do you think of testing already existing canvas designs by making deals directly with artists who are currently selling passively on various POD aggregate websites? (Obviously, this could save on design costs in the testing phase yet become expensive later if the design scales.)
You would kill it in the Real estate industry. If it comes to it I would love to work with you.
You're such a free spirit. You share everything. That's awesome.
where are you sourcing your products from?? aliexpress or where ? and where you are selling them? etsy or shopify or any other websites ?
It's all print on demand... so sites like Printful, Gooten and Printify
Hey Chris, awesome video, thumbs up from me✌ I'm just curious which POD company you use or do you fulfill yourself somehow? I have a great idea but after looking at printful/printify prices etc they seem way too overpriced. Please advise...
What's up Sam! Thanks so much for this feedback! Yes Printful is pricey, I'd only recommend using them once you've got some momentum going. I currently use 2 POD centers: Gooten & Printful.
If I had to recommend 2 fulfillment centers that give you good value for price it'd be Printify and Gooten. We used Printify for over a year, and eventually parted ways because we stopped selling their products. You mentioned Printify is overpriced, what product(s) are you looking at specifically?
Gooten and Printify both have great platforms and phenomenal customer service. Gooten specifically has had great improvements lately with their personalization system making it easier for sellers. Huge win.
Let me know if I can give more clarity on anything!
@@InvolvingChris My man Chris getting deep in the comments with advice. HERO
Where is your course?
What parameters do you set and stick to to overcome that fear but still not screw yourself? Awesome videos!
Awesome video what I got out of this is go big or go home!!!!
Thank you so much! I liked this video very much! I have a question please: When people receive my message, will they be considered on Manychat Bot's subscriber list? I mean, can I send them a free Broadcast next time?
Really great channel man thanks for sharing
I got a lot out of this video as a newbie to ecomm. Thx
if your building your business to sell, what are you going to do after you sell? just curious
make another
@@RSBuddie that or real estate. thats what im thinking
Great information, I needed to hear this to be more proactive in my e-comm business. Thank you Chris and I will be in touch.
Great video, I appreciate all the tips and your genuine desire to help people!
Thanks. I have decided to start an e commerce business. I am a 55 year old female living in South Africa. My question may be stupid because at this moment I am totally technically challenged! Is the revenue I will be working for in dollars or Rands? Do you know of a mentor that can teach me in South Africa? Great video a little bit fast for me when you go on the computer but I am sure it's just education I need
