    Okay, this video has been AMAZINGLY helpful. I've probably watched it completely (or in parts) at least 100 times since finding it. HOWEVER - I'm wondering if it's okay to kind of re-organize things just a little bit? Like when he says your business structure can be shown with an org chart - can we also list plans to expand the team right after that? Seems like it would keep things more succinct. Another question - for company overview when he tells the story about the dog rescue - should that not be in the beginning, or at least some kind of story in the beginning to get people hooked? Just brainstorming.

    Hello Seb
    Questions; if my business is a dropshipping business, will I need to include a space rental in my startup cost? And if don't have a brick-and-mortar physical location can I simply use my P.O. box?

    • @learnwithshopify
      @learnwithshopify  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Mark! You wouldn't need to worry about renting a space. Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product using the dropshipping model, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the seller doesn’t have to handle the product directly!
      We also have a course that will provide you with step-by-step instructions on setting up a successful dropshipping business: bit.ly/2SMkYb5. Hope this helps!

    • @learnwithshopify
      @learnwithshopify  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! Starting a business from scratch without any investors or financing can be a great challenge, but it is possible. Have you looked into Dropshipping? At Shopify, what we really like about dropshipping is that it provides a lower-risk approach for independent businesses to test out new product ideas (and product lines) without having to own and pay for the product upfront. I suggest having a read of our [ultimate guide to dropshipping](bit.ly/3htmDL2) for an in-depth look at this business model.
