Should you start your store on Shopify, Woocommerce, Bigcommerce or somewhere else?  Well in this episode I weigh out all the pros and cons about each one and we decide together which ecommerce shopping cart platform is right for you!

• Shopify Vs. Woocommerce Vs. Bigcommerce
• Quick version
• You should use shopify if you sell physical products, and go with woocommerce if you sell digital goods or the primary focus of your website is content.  I struggle to even say that because Shopify is just so dominant but there are some benefits to woocommerce I will get into later
• People saying I am biased
• Shopify and Bigcommerce are fairly similar but Shopify is better for reasons I will go into later
• Eliminate a bunch of platforms
• Hosted vs. unhosted
  • Magento and woocommerce the downsides
  • Most people opt for hosted
• First off Let’s tackle Bigcommerce Vs. Shopify
• They are similarly priced
• Let’s Start WIth Shopify
  • Pros
    • Better Credit Card Rates
    • Better/Cheaper Templates
    • Better Add Ons and Apps
    • Integrates With Pinterest, PLAs and a ton of things
  • Cons
    • You need 3rd Party Apps
    • Fees for using a 3rd Party Payment Gateway
• Bigcommerce
  • Pros
    • Better Out of the Box
    • Gift cards
    • Built-in Ratings
    • Real Time Shipping Quotes
    • Better Abandon Cart
    • Partnership with Alibaba
      • Oberlo

 

• Cons
  • Selling Limits $50,000 for basic plan
  • Smaller Userbase

 

• Shopify is the clear winner to me, just a better company, more forward thinking company and just really on the ball

Okay so at this point you may be thinking that is great but what about Woocommerce

Pros

• Free?
• Less Expensive
• Great if you plan on having a bunch of small stores or only really selling 1-2 products
• I honestly think every good internet markerter should get hosting anyways, blue host christmas
• Podcasts
• Not as professional and more likely to get hacked

So I got a lot of things today I’m actually leaving for paleo FX tomorrow I’m subleasing my apartment here because you know well I’m gonna be gone for three four weeks on the road trip. So I – well Matt you know – we’ll still make some money off this apartment. So this is some of the thing that I’ve got to do today basically I gotta get the apartment ready to give to the sublease people I filmed a video for Mr. Tim Ferriss and you know I talked about last time I had a little stain on my shirt this time hopefully I do not have a stain on my shirt I guess I guess I find out soon enough what else happened I need to I need to contact more people send jars to I need to talk to I you know like I said I met Terrell I’m gonna send him a thing like a thank-you email and like you know nice meeting you all that kind of stuff say it you know excited to see you at paleo FX I need to pause my gym membership it’s like all those little random things I need to get done packing for the trip today is really all about packing for the trip.

In this section we talk about SEO basics and we’re gonna start with on-page SEO. So I think that’s the first thing you should learn and it’s really the thing that you have the most control in. So what is SEO is something you might be wondering and the answer is SEO is it stands for search engine optimization and it’s basically how your site can rank for number one on Google for certain keywords right not every site ranks number one for every keyword the key here is gonna be picking which keyword you want to rank number one for because certain keywords might actually get you people that are ready to buy and other keywords might just be people that are interested in researching more about something. So in this section we’re going to talk about SEO and SEO can really be broken down into two main sections there’s on-page SEO which are things like h tags meta title Meta Description a bunch of things.

We’re gonna get to later in this section. So don’t worry if you don’t know what these mean and the other part of SEO is off page SEO or link building as it’s sometimes called now link building is great but it’s not something you should focus on right away the first thing like I said is you should focus on is on-page SEO and the reason is on page SEO is when Google comes to your site and it reads the site and tries to figure out what is this about it used different clues it reads the text on it which might be your product description or whatever text is on the page it uses things like the h the tag or the meta title or Meta Description meta title is what’s the (more…)

All right into day eight so today in d I’ve given a lot of random sang will see a look at all the fun stuff I did for instance actually I went down to well you know bulletproof cafe so went to bulletproof cafe and actually ended up meeting the guys the guy behind four Sigmatic the main owner it’s a mushroom coffee for those people that don’t know he was down there and I also met a guy named Casper who helps works with wim HOF and did similar techniques with him and it was really cool you know it’s like you never know who you’re going to meet so I ended up giving them some of the employee.

I gave each of them an influencer box and it’s just really good connection taro who is the guy the owner of four Sigmatic he’s actually going to be at paleo effect so that would be cool I’m going to see him this weekend as well it’s good just to meet some people so I talked to them for a little while and then before I left I came over and said what’s up again and you know you know how sometimes you have those awkward moments I had one of those awkward moments where they’re like oh let’s get a picture and I wasn’t really sure if I was supposed to be in the picture or not and I was kind of like half in half out super spastic on my part I probably should’ve just went in full steam and said hey you know let’s get this picture so I screwed up there and it’s one of those things like alright well that’s a lesson for next time got to be I you know maybe even.

I say hey can (more…)
