Indie Writer's Guide to Shopify Class Part One

The Secrets Behind Building an Indie Writer's Shopify Store

Indie Writer's Guide to Shopify Class Part One

As Indie Writers/Publishers more and more are turning to direct sales through their websites, it has become clear over the last numbers of years that many fear the task of setting up their own store.

Because of this fear, it seems that a few indie publishers have moved forward with this, but very few.

So Kris and I have, through a lot of work on our own Shopify stores and with the help of WMG’s own Shopify expert Stephanie Writt, designed these two classes to detail out, step-by-step, the process from figuring out what to sell to figuring out how to sell and deliver it all easily.

In Part One, here are just a few of the many major subjects we will cover in nine weeks of classes, eight assignments, and six recorded webinars.

  • Deciding what to sell.
  • Setting up your starting inventory.
  • Pricing your ebooks.
  • How to handle ebook sales and distribution.
  • Prepping to sell merchandise.
  • Choosing a merchandise provider.
  • Creating your merchandise.
  • How to price merchandise
  • How to handle merchandise sales and distribution

And so much more in this Part One. And then even more in Part Two, but you must have the basics of this first class to take the next class.

Join us. Going to be great fun.
