how to use Shopify for dropshipping — as a beginner

This is my first attempt at ecommerce and I would need some guidance on creating a successful online store using Shopify.

What are the key things that every beginner should learn on how to set up their shop, add products, fulfill orders as well as promote sales?

If there’s one thing I’ve asked for since day one, it’s those original suggestions, secrets other people don’t know about and maybe not very popular tutorials which could help me out a bit but still remain inexperienced.

This guide provides beginner-friendly tips for implementing a dropshipping business using Shopify;
Start Your Store
— Create an account -Begin with the $29/month Shopify plan.

— Design -Easily modify the free “Dawn” theme and add important sections such as contact us and about us.
— Must have additions – turn on Shopify pay, shipping is zero rate.
From this, you can see that it only takes one or two hours
It might also be a good idea to reveal some information concerning an upcoming product in order to raise curiosity of potential customers.
Merge Products
— Use apps e. g.; DSers (AliExpress) or Spocket (US/EU) for this purpose
— Ensure goods: Prefer low weight, cost $15-$50, lots of reviews items
— Creating listings: Introduce, modify descriptions, pictures/n images of high quality
