Lets Get Started!
It comes with little surprise that as the pandemic grows, the demand for safe, one-stop online shopping options grows as well.
The numbers reported by big-box retailers reflect this logic. Target reported the strongest quarterly sales growth in its history.
Walmart touted unprecedented earnings in Q2 which led to a 97% revenue boost from just last year.
Amazon, the behemoth that it is, banked a net income of 5.2 billion in Q2. And Shopify, the namesake in e-commerce, noted $714 million in Q2.
This all shows one thing: If you want to scale your business online, now is the time to do it -- and yes, it is possible to do it even if you are a small business.
Now, if you’ve been caught up with the news around Amazon’s growth, allow me to steer you in another direction: Shopify.
The Shopify e-commerce hosting platform is growing rapidly....
Michael Aldrich was an English inventor, innovator and entrepreneur.
In 1979 he invented online shopping to enable online transaction processing between consumers and businesses, or between one business and another, a technique known later as e-commerce.
Sadly, he died 2014, he was 73.
The first online transaction was, by some reports, marijuana sold by Stanford students to MIT students via the Arpanet account at their artificial intelligence lab in 1972.
However, the first online shopping transaction on the Internet took place some 22 years later.
With the headline “The Internet is Open”, the August 12, 1994, issue of New York Times chronicled the sale between two friends of a Sting CD.
The Times said, “The team of young cyberspace entrepreneurs celebrated what was apparently the first retail transaction on the Internet using a readily available version of powerful data encryption software designed to...
Shopify have launched a new app called ‘Shop’ – and with it potentially an entire new business – that they intend to compete directly with Amazon.
From early signs, the company appears to believe this new business could be bigger than ‘Shopify’ itself, and may be the next stage in a total rebrand of the company from ‘Shopify’ to simply ‘Shop’.
The app that allows you to buy directly from any brand through the app that signs up that has a shopify store.
That is over 500,000 stores. Currently amazon has over 2.5 million sellers. Off to a good start!
Shopify’s ‘Chief Product Officer’ Craig Miller calling it ‘one of Shopify’s most significant products ever
Shopify will no doubt be hoping the app takes space on users’ home screens, taking some of the attention they use currently to shop at Amazon, Ebay, alibaba, etc.
Currently Amazon's biggest competitors are Alibaba, Google, Walmart, JD,...
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.

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.

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.
