You've been selling successfully through a couple of online marketplaces for a while now, business is steadily growing (yay!), and everyone's telling you to get your own website sorted out ASAP!
You know you need an online store, you'd love to avoid some of the fees that come with online marketplaces, and you're ready to make even more of the brand you've been growing these past few years. You're tired of having all your eggs in the basket of someone else's business, and you're ready to be master of your own domain (no pun intended!).
You've heard great things about Shopify! You even went so far as to sign-up for a free trial, but then.. the overwhelm hit.
Oh god.
There's so much to do! You don't even know where to start! And with all that to do while still trying to run your business, is there even time to fit it in?
That's where this course comes in.
It's time to stop being overwhelmed and get your Shopify store launched!
Hey, I’m Kim! I design kick-ass brands and amazing websites (that actually, you know, work!) for creative bosses the world over. I also swear a lot, and drink way too much coffee… just getting that out of the way before we go annnyyy further.
Alongside running Kim Lawler Creative I also run my design brand, Finest Imaginary. I've made and sold stuff via the internet, craft fairs, and wholesale for the past 8 years. That's where I differ from most other people who can help you build your website, set up your Shopify store, or design you your brand. I've been there myself. I've done it. I've made my own mistakes and learnt my own lessons.
When I was just starting out with websites and business, I really wish I’d had someone to nudge me in the right direction, hold my hand a bit, and guide me through the first steps. I didn’t want a business advisor or consultant, none of those wanky guys wearing suits and ties. I wanted someone who had been through exactly what I’d been through, and had weathered the storm successfully.
Whether you’re hiring me to build your website, buying one of my information products, worksheets or courses, you can be sure that I’m guiding you with knowledge and experience.
Zero to Shopify is a self-guided DIY Shopify set-up course, which will walk you through setting up your Shopify store step-by-step from sign-up to launch.
The course is sectioned into a methodical structure that you can work through at your own pace. You'll get access to ALL the content as soon as you sign up! You can choose to work on a different section each day, or dedicate a couple of days to getting it all done and dusted. The videos will guide you step-by-step through the tasks in each section.
We also have a special students-only Facebook group where we'll be sharing advice, tips, asking questions, and helping each other out as we set-up our Shopify stores.
