I did some research and I was shocked at the amount of people searching for "ecommerce classes near me"!!!

The best way to learn e-commerce is through online courses! First, you can learn how to build an e-commerce website for free with the link to lessons below-

Classes are free, but E-commerce carts tend to cost around $20-$40 a month to start, like shopify.

However, what people really want to learn is how to actually sell products online This is why I created the $97 e-commerce help club. 

Its $97 a month, includes consulting through our facebook groups, and you can cancel anytime.

I made this class from my 15 years of experience from this point of view - If I could go back and do it all over again, how would I do it?

Check out the link below for the link to the free class, and the link to the e-commerce help club.

Answered in under two minutes, in this short video I discuss what types of business are allowed to be open and recession proof!

First I must say, you HAVE to check with your city, county, and state first.

A quick google search: what type of businesses are allowed to be open in California.

Remember, things can change week over week during a lock down or quarantine, so check often, and really don't trust what you read on social media, yikes!

We quickly found out that we are allowed to stay open according to our state, city, and county laws because we make personal care products such as hand sanitizers, etc. 

What types of Ecomm stores are recession proof? Which ecommerce stores are considered essential?

Also of course anything essential like grocery stores, hospitals, and more

So the bigger question, how do you make sure you are in a quarantine proof, or even better, a recession proof business moving forward?

First of all, many of you might already be there, first you need to check....

This week Wal mart announced a new partnership with shopify, which means they might just start competing with them soon.

However, These days Amazon is generally dominating the e-comm space. Amazon in the USA in general takes up 50% of all online transactions, and growing!

Even though Amazon has around 50% of the USA under their wing, that also means that 50% is NOT!

Also, companies such as target and shopify are introducing new versions of their companies that are direct competitors

How do you thrive without being on Amazon?

• Answer the phone, and encourage phone calls
• Try Live Video Chat
• Have free same day local delivery
• If you are a brand, make sure your product is NOT available on amazon, control you distribution
• Make sure you shipping times and fees are competitive
• Design and UX to impress on your website, Amazon is a little too "shoppy" for some people

Yes, it is possible, and check out the E-comm help club to learn more!
