After this, click “Add New Collection” until you’ve added all of the collections/categories you want.

Step 11: Remove Password

I have been using Oberlo for a while and Shopify. I thought I knew my way around pretty well, but you have taught me some great and useful tricks. I particularly like the idea of getting product descriptions from Amazon. That will improve my SEO no end! Thanks, Sarah
Although google doesn’t like duplicates so it would be wise to change them up a bit
You’ll get a nasty lawyer letter from the Amazon seller if you copy their stuff. Sarah says to use it as a GUIDE only!
Strange question but can’t you list amazon products on your shopify and if someone purchases from your shop log their details on amazon and send it but as their address. Same way people do it on eBay.
You can use CJ dropshipping, it is also a good way to create Shopify
So informative, easy to understand and follow. Best tutorial on Youtube. Period.

Guy’s stop hating on her, she is a normal person like us. There is nothing wrong with her. She is very clever and is giving lots of great and valuable information in all her videos and she does and amazing job!
Only good things to say about this marvelous person
with the kind of money she makes regularly , I doubt if anyone wants to hate her. She is a money Queen!
@C-BREAK فسحة Probably making fun of her accent. I don’t find anything wrong with it, I am a non-native English speaker and understand her perfectly.
What is her full name and how did she hook up with a cartoon (Ted)?
NO SHE ISN’T SHE’S PART OF A SCAM!!!
This video helped me so much! Thank you for such great content this video alone has given me the confidence to finally start the store I always wanted to make. I can’t thank you enough or stress how valuable this information is to me! 😀
I found your videos a few days ago and I am so appreciative of all the information you have provided. Amazon FBA information out there was daunting and vague, but you made it so clear. And you helped me find drop shipping!! As someone who wants to eventually build a brand, you have helped me immensely already and I am so very grateful! I have subscribed and will continue to watch your videos. Thanks!!
The best teacher I’ve ever seen on line, I learnt a lot from you. thank you so much

Girl! You are amazing and your content is great and actually helpful. Let the haters hate and you keep rising! I am sure that you have more supporters than haters anyway. Forget those handful of losers and let them continue to hide behind their computers and waste away in their hate! Be a lover and supporter not a hater people and watch your own life improve!
P.S. You are beautiful and a blessing to many.
