Shopify is ecommerce platform where you can create your own store and sell your products to make money. It is easy to get started on shopify as you can build a store without previous experience and you can easily start selling without creating your own products (through dropshipping and print on demand method), however, shopify needs sizeable investment. You will have to pay at least $29 per month just for shopify subscription.

Does this mean it is not possible to make money by using shopify without big investment?

Well, that’s not the case. Shopify offers 14 days free trial. In other words you can use shoipfy for 14 days without paying money. If you can sell within 14 days you can use your profits to pay for premium plan and you  do not have to spend money from your pockets.  You might ask, is it possible to generate enough sales just in 14 days? Well, it is absolutely possible.

Create a shopify store using free trial option and integrate printify or printul with shopify. The products you create on printify will appear on shopify store. Your store is ready to sell products without spending any money.

Now, go to Facebook or Tiktok and start running ads for your products. Just by spending $20-$30 you will start receiving orders and you start making money.
