Hey there,
Welcome to Shopify and congratulations on your new adventure into e-commerce and dropshipping. I’d love to offer some guidance here.
The very first thing you’ll need is a decision on what to sell! If you haven’t quite figured this part out yet here’s a great place to source ideas.
Once you know what you’re selling, the next things you’ll want to think about are marketing tactics (determining your niche, target audience, etc) and how to brand your business. All of this and more is covered in our Ultimate Guide to Dropshipping.
As far as your Shopify admin and all of the necessary store set-up tasks, this checklist is a great guide to keep handy as you go along.
The resources above are the foundation of what you need on your path to a successful dropship store. I also highly recommend taking some time to go through our free courses and webinars to really solidify your knowledge and help you feel confident as you go.
That’ll all have you well equipped! If I can clarify anything or assist any further, don’t hesitate to reach back out. I’d love to hear your ideas and what direction you’ll take with your business.
All the best,
