All of this is coming up and a whole lot of more bonus value. So if you always wanted to have your own customizable online store stay right where you are because by the end of this video, you'll go from beginner to pro. Quick intro and let's go. And welcome back. I'm Iran from AutoDS and as you know, in this video, you're going to learn how to create your own WooCommerce dropshipping store completely from scratch. One second before I get into it, if you haven't done so yet, do not forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to always stay updated on the latest and hottest dropshipping topics that are coming out in the world of dropshipping along with dropshipping case studies, success stories, product finding strategies and methods, full beginner tutorials, suppliers, marketplaces, new features coming out and so much more that we have. So subscribe to our YouTube channel, enable those bell notifications and let's get this WooCommerce party started. So I am going to take it from the top, but I will make it quick because we have so much content to cover so that you will really be able to learn how to do it from A to Z. So for those of you who are not familiar with the dropshipping business model, it's simply a model that allows you to host your own online store and sell products without actually holding them in stock. So what you do is you have an online store, you add products to your store, your customer buys those products and you will purchase the product from the supplier's website and ship it directly to your end customer, meaning you have no physical contact with these products. You don't have to purchase inventory upfront. All of this makes it a low risk and high reward business model. So that is the dropshipping business model. And of course, we can mix that together with WooCommerce, which simply allows us to host an online store, which at the end of the day, WooCommerce is just a plug-in for WordPress. To make it clear, first we have WordPress, which allows us to create an online website. Then we have WooCommerce, which is a plug-in to WordPress, which allows us to create an e-commerce website, list products for sale, get payments for our customers and of course, grow our online business. Okay, so at the end of the day, WooCommerce is a plug-in to WordPress and that's what we're going over in this video, how to actually create a dropshipping website on WordPress, which is using the WooCommerce plug-in to make our e-commerce business practical, safe and easy. Now let's go over some of the advantages of dropshipping on WooCommerce before we jump into the bits and bytes. So first of all, having a website on WooCommerce means we'll have our own domain name. So we're going to have our own www.rstorename.com, meaning everything here is going to be completely customizable. We can do whatever we want with our website. It's not some online marketplace like eBay or Facebook Marketplace where we have to follow their rules and policies and we don't really have an actual storefront. Here you actually have a storefront and everything that you do with your website is up to you and it's completely customizable. The second advantage is the scalability and that's because unlike marketplaces that I just mentioned, you don't have any limits and you don't have anyone telling you what you can and what you cannot sell. Now of course, we are going to avoid selling products that we cannot sell like copyrighted material, trademarks, hazardous, flammable material and so forth, but no one is telling us how much we can list, which categories we can sell from and so forth. So it's completely customizable. It's very scalable and we also have a bunch of plugins and things that we can use to make our stores look better to increase ourselves conversions. And I'm going to go through some of these plugins with you in this video and it also allows us to have pages like content pages, meaning we can have our own blog pages and bring free organic traffic to our website. But we're going to jump into all of that later on but it's important to understand all of the power that we're going to get when we'll have our own store on WooCommerce. Now, some of the disadvantages of creating a WooCommerce store is, well, there's a high learning curve and that's exactly why I'm hosting this video for you. I'm going to create a store from scratch and you're going to watch everything and not only that, but as I promised, I'm also going to send you this WooCommerce dropshipping cheat sheet. And if you want access to this cheat sheet, all you have to do is follow our Instagram channel. The link is in the description below. Then come back to this video. Leave a comment below, hashtag WooCommerce. Let me know what you thought about this video and I will happily send you this cheat sheet which will walk you through everything that you need to do to create a successful WooCommerce store including all of the links, all of the tools and everything else that you need to start your business the right way. And that will take out the hard or the tough learning curve that we have when starting a WooCommerce business. And on the other hand, there's no organic traffic, meaning as soon as we create our stores and it's completely ready and we're ready to start selling, nobody actually knows that our store exists because it's not on some big marketplace like eBay where you can list your product and then people are simply going to search for that product and see your listing. It's not the same here and we're actually responsible for bringing traffic to our website whether using paid marketing tactics or free marketing tactics, both of which I will teach you in this video. So that's a little bit of what WooCommerce is and the pros and cons. Now let's jump right into it and create a WooCommerce dropshipping store from zero. So how do we start a dropshipping business with WooCommerce? What's the first thing that we need to do? So first of all, we want to find products to sell. This is the product research phase and I'm not going to dive too deep into it into this video because it's not about product research but I will give you all of the tools so that you will be able to research the right products the right way. So the first thing that we're going to do is learn about product research. Now this is the blog article that's got lots of explanations on everything that I'm going over in this video and you have the link to this blog article right below this video but if you want the summarized version, the cheat sheet well I told you what you have to do in order to get access to it, so do it. And as you can see right here the first step is to find winning products. So first we've got the AutoDS product research tool. This is built into the AutoDS system so you're going to use this to find trending products. If you're already an AutoDS member you can use it right now just log in hit the marketplace link on the left menu and you will have a huge database of trending products that you can resell. That is tactic number one. Number two is the AutoDS best sellers YouTube playlist. So even if you're not an AutoDS member just click on the link in the cheat sheet and you will get to our sell these now YouTube playlist which as you can see right here is filled with the hottest products to sell. Each and every one of these videos have golden nuggets and with the products that we're recommending if you add 20, 30 variations of each product idea I guarantee that you will test the market correctly and you will start making sales. It may not come on the first day may not come on the first week and for some it may not even come in the first month but the more practice the more work you put into it the better your store will look the better you'll be able to market the right products to the right audiences and of course start making those sales. So click on the link to go to our YouTube playlist then you've also got our product finding blog. So click on that link you'll go to our blog section and here you have the best product finding blog articles. So if you type that likes to read you can read all of these articles and get the best product ideas if you type likes to watch watch the best sellers YouTube playlist and those are the top three product research methods that I recommend to you that don't cost any money and will get you some of the best product ideas that you can sell on your drop shipping stores. Number four is spying on the competition. So we have a blog article here that can help you with that but at the end of the day you need to know how to find your competitors see their stores know what they're able to sell see what ads they're running and simply learn from their best practices and the best way to do that is to simply learn how to spy on your competition and in this way you're also going to find some trending product ideas. Okay, so more info on that in the link next you can check suppliers best seller section so I can just go to Walmart or I can go to the AliExpress drop shipping center and I can find best selling products from there. We also have content on that so just go to our YouTube channel go to our blog page search for the AliExpress drop shipping center and you'll find content on that too as well as going to other drop shipping suppliers websites like CJ drop shipping or Walmart and just seeing what's trending and what's hot over there that will also give you some pretty good product ideas. Next, keep track of social media trends so you can go right now to TikTok search for hashtag TikTok made me buy it and there you'll find a whole bunch of other drop shippers selling products using that hashtag and there you'll also learn about new hashtags that they're using and in this way you're going to find lots of people who are drop shipping products on TikTok and those products are going really, really viral so you can get a good idea of what audiences are looking for there and last but not least you can analyze drop shipping ads using Chrome extensions like my ad finder or simply go on a Facebook and searching for get yours now free shipping and texts like that that people usually add in their Facebook ads and then this way you're going to find lots of Facebook ads that you can learn from especially and of course the drop shipping product ads so utilize those methods and all of the products that you're finding I want you to add them to this product research drop shipping spreadsheet with the link of course in the cheat sheet and here you're going to add all of the products to this spreadsheet and once you add them you're going to answer these questions here on the right side and once you answer all these questions and you have a product where you answered yes to all of the questions that means that this product has a high chance to sell on your stores and that'll help you narrow down all of these products that you're finding during the product research phase and really narrow them down to find the best winners for your store so utilize these methods add your product findings into the product research spreadsheet and that will make your product research phase which is important and it needs to keep going on and on forever and ever but it will make it much much easier for you now after we're done finding products we need to choose a drop shipping supplier to source these products from and add it to our stores so in other words I already have a list of products now from the product research spreadsheet that I want to add to my stores now I need to look for suppliers who actually have these products or similar products to them that I can add so what you're going to do here is click on the select a drop shipping supplier and here you'll see a list of over 25 drop shipping suppliers that we support here at AutoDS which means you can completely automate your drop shipping business using these suppliers right here you can also filter them by region so for example if you want to drop ship to the United Kingdom then you can click on United Kingdom to see suppliers who have warehouses in the UK and then you can ship really quickly from the UK to the UK and that way your customers are going to get their products much much faster and they're going to be really happy about that and most likely return to purchase from your store again and or refer their friends in their family to purchase from your store too so here you have a suppliers list where you can automate your business with them and we're going to talk about automation soon but these are some of the best suppliers that you can work with today now after you found your products and you know what suppliers have these products so that you can import them from the suppliers to your selling channel and your selling channel in this case is WooCommerce so once we have all of that it's time to create our WooCommerce store now before we start to create our WooCommerce store there's a few factors to take into consideration the first is that we need a hosting service now a hosting service simply gives you a hosting space and tells you okay you can create your website using our hosting service so we're going to give you 10 megabytes or 100 gigabytes or one terabyte of data that you can add to your website and we'll host all of that for you so the first thing is to have a hosting plan the second thing is to have your own domain name so what you're going to do is you're going to have a domain www.yourstorename.com you're going to connect your domain to the hosting service and then that way they both speak to each other so the domain will be a part of the hosting service and this can be done in several ways so we've got the domain we've got the hosting service and now we need to install WordPress and WooCommerce to the hosting service where we also connected the domain so it's a few different things that we need to connect together now if you have a budget aside and you don't mind paying extra you can do all that directly from WordPress so go to WordPress.com check out their plans and pricing because it will not be free you're going to need to have the WooCommerce business plan and that is going to set you back about $25 a month and on top of that you also have to connect your domain name which will cost an average of about $20 a year now there's an advantage and a disadvantage to this method the advantage is that it's going to connect everything together so you're going to have your hosting service your domain name and WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin all in the same platform that's going to cost you a little bit extra and I just showed you the pricing for that now if you want to find out a cheaper way to do it then you're going to have to look for a dedicated hosting service and you're going to purchase a domain name from a different spot and your hosting service is going to have the WordPress and WooCommerce plugin installed for you automatically so hosting service and domain name coming from two different places and we're going to connect it together this is the cheaper way to do it and also my preferred and recommended way to do it because you have more control over these things when each one is being handled separately rather than having it all under the same platform so when you want to leave the platform or cancel your account you won't have to cancel your domain name and the hosting service you can just cancel one and of course continue with the other so hopefully that wasn't too confusing I'm going to show you the cheaper method which is my recommended method all right so let's begin first there's the hosting service so here we have the top three recommended hosting services that I recommend which is Bluehost, SiteGround and Hostinger all three of these hosting providers also have the WordPress with WooCommerce plugins that they can install for your website so of course you don't have to purchase that separately and on top of that they have real cheap services fast server connections so it all works out now you can choose any one of these three they all have similar features and almost similar price plans in my case I went with SiteGround because they turned out to be the best from my research so I already signed up for a SiteGround account you have the links to it in the cheat sheet or in the blog article but as you can see my account is already created so check out these three hosting services see which one best suits your needs best suits your budget and sign up for your first month or for your first year now I'm going to click here on websites and here you can see that I already added a website called ProductChasers.com which of course I purchased from GoDaddy so GoDaddy is your go-to for purchasing your domain name okay so we've got the hosting service which could be Bluehost, SiteGround or Hostinger then we've got GoDaddy for the domain so what you're going to do is you're going to go to GoDaddy and you're going to search for a good domain name now if you don't know what domain name you're going to use it's okay you do not have to do it at this stage yet later down the road when you created your store and you thought of a good name or thought of a good category which helps you think of a good name for your store you can also do that later so you can sign up for the hosting service now leave GoDaddy on the site until you know what domain you want to use and for now SiteGround or whatever hosting service you're using will offer you a temporary domain name until you connect with your own domain in any case what I did was I went to GoDaddy and I purchased a domain name called ProductChasers.com now what I need to do is tell GoDaddy that my host is SiteGround so that ProductChasers.com that I bought from you I want you to connect it to this hosting service so that I could actually start working on my website under this domain name but before that you need to add your website so if you just signed up to a hosting service you're going to click on the new website they all have it in different menus in my case my hosting plan only allows me to have one website and I already have that so I'm going to have to upgrade my plan but here it's going to ask you what is your domain name you're going to tell the hosting service what the domain is that you purchased from GoDaddy and then once you add it we're going to click on Site Tools right here now what I need to do is tell GoDaddy that I have a hosting service and I want them to connect the domain with the hosting service so here you can see that we have a name server so look for the name server on the host's website and here you can see it's ns1.SiteGround.net and ns2.SiteGround.net so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to GoDaddy and I'm going to click on the domain that I purchased then I want to go over to the DNS settings so I'm going to click on DNS and here we can see the domains that I have at GoDaddy so I've got that domain the productages.com what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on DNS right here because I want to set the DNS settings to let it know that I want to give SiteGround access to edit this domain name okay so here I'm going to click on change under the name servers and then I'm going to choose connect my domain to a website of built because you're not going to use GoDaddy's default name servers then we're going to skip on these two options and we're going to click on enter my own name servers advanced and here we're going to paste the name servers that we have in the DNS settings under the IP and name servers from our hosting service so it's ns1 and ns2.SiteGround.net which as you can see is already entered inside my GoDaddy account so this of course gives me access to connect SiteGround with GoDaddy so hosting service and domains are now connected so now I have my hosting service I have my domain it's time to create my website so what I'm going to do first is install and manage WordPress I'm doing this of course through my hosting service and here I have the option to install only WordPress or WordPress with WooCommerce and I realized that I haven't showed you the pricing settings yet so let's do that now so as you can see right here the startup stores cost $20 a month but if you're going to go with an annual plan then it's $15 a month which is already cheaper than what we saw if we're creating a website through WordPress and not only is it cheaper but of course we're also getting the WooCommerce and WordPress plugins we're getting a better hosting service than what WordPress would have offered us and if you do your homework you're going to realize this too and it's going to pay off better to use of course a hosting service now in any case let's get back to it so now we need to install WordPress and WooCommerce on our hosting page so that we can actually start working on our website because right now we have hosting but we have pretty much nothing else so what I'm going to do now is click WordPress and WooCommerce okay the domain that I'm going to add it to is productchangers.com the language is English, installation path, no need to touch then just add your admin info so I'm just going to choose a user name generate a password, enter my email address and here I have the option to install an add-on called the WordPress starter okay you can do it, you can include it or you can not include it either way you're going to have an onboarding process to create your website through WooCommerce but in this case I will install it even if you don't have this option again it's completely fine you will have an onboarding process through WooCommerce which is practically the same so now I'm just going to wait a few seconds while it's installing WordPress and WooCommerce on my productchangers.com website if I go to productchangers.com right now you'll see that there's an awesome site in the making an amazing site is coming to this web address come back soon of course I didn't have to do anything to do this and we can see that WordPress is now installed on productchangers.com so now we're ready to get started so we can see right here manage installations we've got productchangers.com the installation is WordPress and WooCommerce and I can just log into the admin panel through this button right here so I'm going to click on that and another way to get to it is to simply go to productchangers.com slash WP admin okay welcome to your WooCommerce site let's go ahead and get started so this is that WordPress starter that I was talking about I'm going to click on start now and the first thing that it's allowing me to do is to choose a store theme now again even if you're not using WordPress starter WordPress has an onboarding process with you and you can choose your store theme from there but this just makes you a little bit more friendly okay so here we already have the storefront which is a free theme which in this case I'm going to keep it on storefront but just so you can see check out all of these other templates that we can use for our WooCommerce website and all of these are free as you can see right here these are all free themes and we do not have to pay a dime to use any one of them now of course there are also paid themes but the free themes are more than enough for you to get started make yourselves and then if you want you can use some of your profits to get even a premium theme but these themes are more than enough to get started the right way and make those sales in this case I'm going to keep it with storefront okay so I'm going to click on that and here we have a demo so it shows you an example of what your store will look like so I'm just going to keep it like this we've got the website right here we've got a banner right here saying welcome shot by category with all of these category images and all of these sections which we can later on play around with okay so I'm going to choose this storefront or I can choose any other from this menu as you can see right here you can create lots of different looking websites okay all of these are free and once again I'm just going to go with the basic one just to keep things super super simple okay so I'm going to choose this theme and we're going to click on continue next the onboarding process is asking me if I want to add any of these to my website so do I want to have a contact form do I want to add maps a gallery multilingual site for now I'm just going to select the contact form because it's always good to have it it's a free plugin by WP forms and I'm just going to click on continue so up until now everything is pretty friendly I'm sure that you can agree with me here it's a very very technical process if we're not doing it with this user interface but of course we are using it because we want things to be friendlier and as you can see right now we're getting more to the analytics and the marketing section so we can add Google Analytics optimize for SEO which I do recommend to use growing your subscriber list managing your contacts and so forth for now I'm not going to select them because we're not going to have time to get into this this is more advanced tactics but just so you know all of this is right here so you can add Google Analytics to your website and of course check out who's coming to your website where they're coming from what your audience demographics and behavior is and so forth optimize your website for SEO it's very very important to get organic traffic to your website and we'll talk about that when we get to the blog section growing your subscribers list so this is going to collect your customer's email addresses so that you can later on send them email marketing campaigns managing your contacts through HubSpot and so forth right now I'm just going to click on complete and now it's installing everything that I mentioned everything that I chose and it's just going to take a couple of seconds and now our website is ready so it was that simple now we can start customizing our website so I'm going to click on go to dashboard because there's no reason to view the site we know what it looks like it has that storefront theme so now I am on the WordPress dashboard you've been very patient so far I know I take things step by step but I'm doing it so that you will have all of the right knowledge no matter what level you're on okay so let's get started this is the WordPress dashboard with WooCommerce inside and as you can see we can view our website we can manage our pages we can change the website's design we can check our orders create and edit products create and edit forms and there's so much more to do so we have all the options here on the left side and also here on top as you can see we've got some plugins that were already installed like WP forms and purge sgk so those are pre-installed plugins let's go over the menu on the left side so we have the dashboard which is what we're looking at now we have posts which is the blog articles that we'll be writing so we can offer value to our audiences and get them to click and go to our websites we have the media so every picture and every video that we upload is going to go to the media section then we can use that media and post it on our website then we've got pages so this is different from blog articles this is actually the pages that we're going to have like our blog page which has all of our blog articles the about us pages the legal pages and all of that then we have the WooCommerce plugin so I can just click on that and I can get started with the onboarding process that we're getting from WooCommerce okay so we're going to go over this but I'm going to continue with the rest of the menu next we've got products so this is where we're actually going to add products to our store but I'm going to of course show you the automated way to do it so that you can save your time and scale your business then we've got analytics we don't have a reason to go there now because the store is brand new marketing you can do marketing through here though I don't recommend it as much we're going to talk about marketing also soon WP form so this is where we can actually create forms it's one of the plugins it's the same plugin that we're seeing up here so this is a good way to add forms to our website and get customer feedback or get any other information that we want from them appearance so here is where we can actually edit our themes customize our themes even though we already did that with that WordPress starter but this is where you're going to do it if you're not using that widgets to use on your website menus the header part the background and of course your store front so you can edit how your store looks and all the rest of the appearance settings there and then you've got plugins we're going to go over plugins so plugins as I mentioned are add-ons that you can add to your website and they can help you with so many things like upselling cross-selling get customers email addresses make your pages load faster help you with the SEO and so much more then you've got users so if you want to add more users to your domain so that they can work on your website too and we've got tools general settings which we will also talk about in this video and more things that have been included from the hosting service SG stands for Siteground okay so that's a basic overview of the menu but now we want to actually create our website so let's take it from step number one remember how I told you that the first thing that you need to do is product research and look for a product to sell so let's say we did that part and the second step is to look for a reliable dropshipping supplier so in this case we already did the first two and I'm just going to choose an example so that I can actually start and create my website so let's choose a good product and create our website around that product so I'm going to click on the AutoDS product finding blog link in the WooCommerce cheat sheet again guys if you want access to all of this all you have to do is follow our Instagram page the link is in the bio and add a comment below this video hashtag WooCommerce let me know what you thought about this video and I will happily send you this cheat sheet with everything that you need so all the information is summarized here and if you want to go more in depth and get more explanations on every one of these shortcuts then of course you can click on the blog article it's in the title and you can read more in depth in the blog okay so I clicked on the product finding and bestsellers blog article link and here I have a whole bunch of articles with a whole bunch of trending products inside so I'm just going to enter one of them and let's choose one product from here so we're going to scroll down there's a fast charging USB cable there's a neck supporting pillow and how about this laser hair epilator right here looks pretty good it's a very trendy product it's being sold for $33 being sold for $10 so there's at least one seller making at least $23 in profit every time he sells it and we can also see the info right here we have a link to his ad so you can see right here that his Facebook ad has about almost 2,000 comments almost 2,000 shares and 12,000 engagements so this is a pretty popular product I want to create my website with a similar product and do a better job than what the seller is doing okay so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to head back to the blog article and I'm going to click on the supplier slash source because now I can see where he's actually getting the product from and you can see it right here and I'll express for just $1.28 but I do want to look for others that are similar to this one so what I'm going to do is I'm going to look for a laser hair epilator and we're just going to choose the one that really looks good from the best seller okay so we have all of these let's go for one that has lots of good reviews and that isn't too expensive so I'm going to go for this one right here it's got lots of sales it's got good reviews it's also got a video that I can use as you can see right here shows the product in action okay so very nice and we've got a good product description and even another video over here okay so very nice we can run ads on this product we can showcase it and we have the whole product description right here which doesn't look that good but I'll show you guys how you can optimize it and the rest of these images down here okay so it's looking good I'm going to go with this product and create a store around this product okay so let's go back and start creating our website with the product that we know that we're going to use okay so I'm going to click here on WooCommerce and I'm going to start the onboarding process from here okay so the first is to enter your store's details okay so I'm going to do that really quick in which industry does the store operate I'm going to go with other and we're selling physical products okay so after I gave some just very general store information it's asking me now to choose a theme since we already did this I'm going to go with continue with my active theme and by the way the website right now looks like this so as you can see it's not what it was before where it says like check out this awesome website coming soon or something like that right now we actually have the theme that was installed on productchasers.com which in this case is that storefront theme which is free now when you're logged into the admin panel you'll always see this top banner right here where you can edit any page that you're on or create new posts new pages and so forth but of course your audience will not see this top banner up here okay so I'm going to go with continue with my active theme and now it wants store details so I'm going to give it the details that it's looking for so first we have the general tab right here okay so the store's address the city the state the postcode zip code I'm going to skip all that for now but this is the important stuff so general options selling location so here you can choose if you want to sell to all countries sell to all countries except for certain countries or sell to specific countries okay so we can hover over right here and you can see this option lets you limit which countries you're willing to sell to okay the next one is shipping location so what countries do you want to have the shipping option okay if they don't have the shipping option even if you selected them in sell to all countries they're still not going to be able to check out and choose a shipping option okay so choose which countries you want to ship to for example ship to all countries ship to specific countries or disable shipping and shipping calculations so here for example I can go to ship to all countries sell to all countries so that everybody can see my website and everybody can check out and you have the default customer location okay so here for example you can go with geolocate and it'll just use the customer's real location then you have enable taxes so here you can enable tax rates and calculations so for example if you're selling to the US and you know that you're selling to a state that collects state tax then you will have to charge tax and of course pay that to the US government once a year by the way if you want to know how taxes work we have a video on drop shipping taxes how it works and of course a blog article about it so if you want to know more about that if you want to see that let me know in the comments below and I will send it to you next we can enable coupon so there's no reason not to allow that and in the currency you're going to choose the right currency in this case let's say I want to target the US audience so I want to charge them using a US dollar currency now the thing here is you can also use a plugin that will show each customer the currency that's related to them so for example if you have a customer in the United Kingdom then they're going to see the UK's currency and if you have one in the US and they're going to see the US currency so that this way they will not all see the USD currency if it's not right for them okay so that's the general tab so I'm just going to click on save changes okay next we've got products for starters I wouldn't touch this tab yet because the default is pretty right unless you want to change of course the weight unit to pounds the dimensions maybe to yards instead of meters or instead of centimeters enable product reviews you should have it on enable star rating on review so everything here you can keep it as is no reason to touch that right from the start if you want to customize that later on according to your needs go ahead and do so next we've got shipping okay so this is the part where you're actually enabling shipping zones and you can charge a different shipping price from different countries and so this way you can sell worldwide and charge the right shipping prices for different locations for example let's click on add shipping zone and let's say I want to add a shipping zone to the United States and offer them free shipping so what I'm going to do is I'm going to call this US free shipping that's the zone name the zone region is the United States and the shipping method here I'm going to add a shipping method and I'm going to call it free shipping and I'm going to add this shipping method okay so now the United States have a free shipping option now if I want to give them maybe expedited shipping and charge them for that then I'm going to also offer a flat rate and here I'm going to edit that to let's say $15 and what's going to be called flat rate expedited shipping okay and that's going to cost them $15 and then this way we're going to use a better shipping service and you can do this for different countries you can add more countries more shipping zones more flat rates or more free shipping and do with it as you wish so that's a little bit about the shipping zones it's important to set that up correctly especially when you're planning on shipping worldwide then we've got payments so this is how customers are going to pay you and how WooCommerce is going to send you that money so my first recommendation here is to enable PayPal payments okay that's usually the default go-to payment option but for customers who don't have PayPal or don't want to use PayPal's guest option check out you want to add other payment providers so click on discover other payment providers and it'll take you to the extension store on WooCommerce where you can add other payment providers like WooCommerce payments, Stripe if you live in the US or other places that support it Square for WooCommerce PayPal we already talked about it and you have more and more options so choose whichever is right for you whichever payment option is suitable for the location that you reside in and of course that will give you more sales because you will offer customers the option to swipe their credit card without having to create a guest account on PayPal or anything else next we've got accounts and privacy not much to touch here so we've got guest check out allow customers to place orders without an account there's no reason to force a customer to create an account when they check out and everything else here can pretty much stay as is you can edit your registration privacy policy and check out privacy policy here but you're also going to create your privacy policy pages which I will show you so there's that then there's the emails so here you can customize the emails that you're sending to your buyers so for example we've got the first three types of emails that will be sent to me to liranat.auds.com so those types of emails are whenever I get a new order whenever a customer cancels an order and whenever an order fails to process so for that I'm going to get emails and the rest for the customer they're going to receive emails every time an order is on hold when an order is being processed when an order is being completed when they get a refund for their order and so forth and of course you can change each and every one of these messages so I can click on for example when an order is on hold and here you can see all of your options to send in this email so the subject line is your site title order has been received and if you want to know what other placeholders you can use so site title of course is going to show productations.com so it's going to say your productations.com order has been received thank you for your order in the heading and in the additional content in the text body message it's going to say we look forward to fulfilling your order soon okay so of course you can change everything you can use placeholders here you can use site title site address site URL order date order number and so forth so here you can change the automatic emails that that you're getting and also your customers and we don't need to touch integration in advance right now so let's go back to creating our store after we have all of the right options and the shipping zones and the rest of the settings set up okay let's finally start organizing our website and making it this one product store using this product so what I'm going to do first is I'm going to use an extension called Ali save to save all of the images and videos that I have on this product now of course when I import using auto DS it's going to import all of this anyway but I'm going to use those images right now to create a good profile photo or a cover image or see what other creative ideas I can do with it so I'm going to use once again the Ali save extension then I'm going to click on the button right here to download all of the variations okay so we're going to create a folder for this we're going to call it laser epilator okay and save those images there so that's a variation images but I also want everything that we have down here okay so I'm going to download everything from here okay and everything was downloaded I could see it all in this directory however the videos were not downloaded just JPEG files as we can see here so we can choose a good image from here but we will need to download the video separately which I'll show you how to do that when we get to it then there's also the product information which we will also get to so for now let's head back to WooCommerce and now we're going to customize the way that our website looks like so what we're going to do is we're going to go to appearance and we're going to click on themes here you can see all the themes that we have and I'm going to click on customize so it's the same thing as just clicking on customize over here but I just wanted you to see the whole menu now we're customizing this WordPress theme now this is using what we call a block editor and I'm going to skip the tour since I know how to work with it so it's free to use but it's not as user friendly as other plugins like Elementor which will make your life a whole lot easier Elementor is a drag and drop builder for your WordPress website or for your WooCommerce website and as you can see right here in this video it just makes everything really easy you see something that you want from the left menu you drag it you drop it where you want it and you continue editing the page with a great user interface I do have premium access to Elementor on my website but I'm not going to use it since I'm not sure if you guys are going to use Elementor because it does cost if I'm not mistaken $50, $60 annually and if you don't want to put that budget aside then I'm not going to show you how to do it on a platform that you're not using however I would love to use Elementor for this example but if you're not going to use it let's go with the harder way and use the free block editor that is included here but as you can see I cannot take something and drag it here I just need to edit everything on the left or right side and it will come into effect on the page okay so let's go over our options and see what we have so first we're all familiar with the way that our website looks right now which is like this let's edit this page so first things first we have the site identity so we're going to give it a title and here we're going to create a good title for this product so first it is a laser epilator so let's just call it that for now and no need for a tagline okay so just a very basic name on what the item is next you can select a site icon now this is a good thing to have because of course you'll have an icon and it'll talk to your brand so I'm going to show you how to do that now along with selecting a logo so there's a few ways to create a logo for your store and there's free options there's paid options and also in the WooCommerce cheat sheet I added a good article on how to create a professional store logo all kinds of different ways that you can create your own logo you know today you don't have to pay anyone to do this for you you can do it absolutely for free using all of the methods that we showed you here so if you want the link to this you have it in the WooCommerce cheat sheet again if you want access to this cheat sheet right here with all of the shortcuts that I'm talking about in this video all you have to do is follow our Instagram page the link is in the video description below then comment in this video hashtag WooCommerce let me know what you think about this video and of course I will send you this exact cheat sheet okay let's continue I'm going to go to Canva you can use of course any method that you see fit inside our logo article and as we can see right here site icons need to be 512 by 512 and logos also have their own dimensions but Canva already knows so I'm just going to click on create design then we're going to search for logo and here we have it 500 by 500 so I'm going to use this also for the logo and also for the site icon so here we have a whole bunch of templates that we can use and we're going to edit these templates and of course we can choose for whatever we want so let's say right here we're selling something in the health category so let's see if I doubt it but let's see if laser is going to bring us any nice here laser hair removal let's see no no time plates there let's just try laser pure vision so this is laser for vision but let's click on skincare okay skincare products this can work pretty well so let's create a logo let's say just create a really quick one okay I'm going to go with this one right here so I'm just going to click on it okay I'm going to keep it very very simple we make this one a little bit bigger and I'm going to change this to laser hair epilator natural skincare we can maybe change that to any model that we can choose like remove hair actually no we're going to remove it because it's small text anyway no nobody's going to see it okay so I'm just going to make this a little bit bigger there's also I'm not putting that much work into it but there are so many things that you can do using Canva for example I can search for a few different things and it doesn't only have to be here we can also search in elements for a good graphic for example let's search here for the word laser we're actually seeing laser lights which isn't that good let's try searching for laser device and here we go we already have some good ones that we can use right here I could go with this one it's a little bit plain I can also go with this one let's go with this one it looks better so I'm just going to choose this I'm going to remove this one and I'm just going to add this image right here maybe change the font here and maybe add some nice lines and things like that so lines and shapes let me put a nice line over here and in styles we can actually create some brand styles and understand what colors we want to use so here you have a whole bunch of color palettes that are already custom made for you so you can choose any nice style that you like and continue making sure that the rest of your website has these brand colors so I'm just going to go with this one right here laser hair epilator very quick and to the point didn't go too much into it because I want to show you guys of course more important things but this is one of the best ways to create a free logo for your website so now I'm just going to download it and now that it's downloaded I'm going to go back to the customizer and next to the site title laser hair epilator we're going to also add that logo so I'm going to click on select logo right here and now I need to upload the logo to the media section of my WooCommerce store so I'm going to go to my downloads directory and select that logo that we just downloaded using Canva okay so here it is right here we're going to select it wants to crop the image this is good okay and here we have the store logo right here all right so let's continue we also have a site icon so I'm just going to use the same logo select that from the media library and let's go okay so now we also have a favicon so when we enter productchacers.com let's just click on publish so that we can see these changes so now if I head over to productchacers.com let's see if we have the logos okay so here we have this one the laser hair epilator that we created really quickly using Canva and we also have I don't know if you guys can see it but we can also see that logo right up here on Chrome okay so on top of the Chrome browser or whatever browser they're using they're also going to see your logo again guys not the best logo and there are many ways to create logos I'm just doing it really quickly so that we can move on and have all the important things in this store okay so that's the site identity now let's work on the header so the header is the top part of our website which we're seeing right here okay so I'm going to click on header and the first thing that we can do is add an image now we're going to see this image right here on the header part of our website we can try something see how it comes out and if it doesn't look good we can go without an image there next we have the background color so here I would want to make the background color the same as the logo so that we won't have this square over here just doesn't look that good so what we're going to do is we're going to head over to Canva to see what the color code is for this color okay so I've got the logo right here I'm just going to click on the background and here I can see the color so I'm just going to click on that and see what the color is so here I can hover over it and I can see that it's a light gray number E8, E8, E8 okay so let's use that so here I'm going to go to select a background color and I'm going to go with E8, E8, E8 now the background should be the same color and there we go so the background is not the same color as the logo so now we don't have that square over there and it just looks much, much better okay next let's go with an image so I'm going to try an image and let's see how this comes out so we already have all the images that we downloaded using AliExpress I think a good image for the header would probably be this one right here okay except for this five colors of volleyball instead of available but that's what we have when using Chinese sellers but I'm going to also show you soon cool tricks and tactics how to you know overcome these issues but this image looks pretty good besides that so let's go with that and see if we can crop it from here what I like about the image is that it simply shows all the variations and it shows the product side by side which is pretty cool okay so I'm going to click on add new image then we're going to select file I'm going to hover over to that directory and look for that image which is this one right here click on open okay so now I'm going to click on select and crop and here I'm going to crop out that section that I didn't really want okay so I'm just going to click now on crop image and here we go much, much better and as you can see it's taking up all of the space and I don't think it looks that good it looks, it doesn't look professional we can of course play around with the stretching and make it smaller but then the background color is not the same as the one in our logo so I'm just not going to use this but that is how you change your header image I had a thing it's not going to look that good but it was worth a try so I'm just going to click on the X button up here and it's going to remove that and we're going to go back to the cleaner header menu and that's pretty much it you can also change your text color your link colors but right now I don't have any brand guidelines for this website so I'm going to keep it as is and I'm going to click on publish okay so that's the header part of the website now I didn't touch the menus yet that's in another session okay next we have the footer so the footer is the bottom part of your website which should be practically the same as the top part so it looks like it's not using the same gray color so we're going to go with background color okay so E8, E8, E8 and we'll have the same background color right here okay so that looks good and the rest I'm not going to touch the rest of the colors right now okay so we did a little bit about the colors and added this brand background color then we've got the main background okay so here we're actually looking at the background that we can see if I just change the color you can see that it's changing everything that we see over here okay so here you can go for a different color but in my case I'm just going to keep it very simple and keep it all under that same color okay we also have this welcome right here which we didn't get to yet but we will and we're going to click on publish so right now we have the same background and let's continue typography is if you want to change all kinds of things like heading colors, text colors, link colors after they clicked on it hero text colors and so forth no need to get into it now but that's where you can control that then you've also got buttons so the way that your buttons look on your website not going to go over it now because it's a little bit advanced a little bit technical it's easy but it's not very important for you to know right from the start because you can make sales without that okay then you've got your general stores layout not going to touch it then we've got menus so here you want to create menus and customize the links that we see here on the footer and on the menu we're not going to do that now but we're going to do it soon then we've got widgets so widgets are simply these things that you can add to your website to make it more optimized all kinds of different widgets for now I'm not going to get into it then you've got the regular home page setting so the home page is the home page so when they go to productages.com this is what they're going to see they're not going to go to the blog page or to any other page by default and the post page of course is the blog page we're not going to touch that you can add new pages but again more advanced stuff no need for that to start making sales and you've got WooCommerce so here you can add a store notice if you want people to read a certain message when they enter your website your product catalog what you wanted to show but we don't need to touch any of that right now and additional CSS is advanced of course so that's pretty much it we have a very very basic layout without diving too deep inside but that is all the things that you can control in the theme's appearance so editing the store theme consisted of what colors we're using what fonts we're using the logo image that we added here the favicon that we added in the tab up top and the background colors for the header menu and the footer menu but what about the rest of these options right here this is all a part of our home page which we will edit right now so I'm going to exit the theme editor and now I'm going to go to the pages section right here on the left side and here we can see that I already have a blog page a card page a checkout page a home page which is the front page my account page and the shop page okay so all of this of course was created automatically for me I didn't have to create these pages and I'm going to edit now my home page okay so I'm going to click on edit welcome to the blog editor okay so we're just going to close this dialogue because I already know how to use it so this is actually that blog editor that I mentioned a few minutes ago and as you can see right here it's a little bit technical could look a little confusing but let me show you how to work around this so first is the home page so here I'm going to write laser hair epilator and as you can see we can't see the the the header and the footer because right now we're only editing the home page which was right in between them so that's what we're doing right now we're actually editing a page and not the theme okay so we've got this welcome message right here I can click on it and then here I can choose a different image to use so maybe here would be a good chance to use a different image so when I click on the background image right here I have this blog editor here with my option so I can click here on replace and then open my media library media library and yeah we have it right here okay so I'm going to select this image right here and this is how it came out so let's kind of play around with the stretching and make it better so let's give it a fixed background is not going to do it repeated background could probably work this could work but let's see if we can do it better so I can change the focal point view and make it maybe show this not sure if we can zoom out on it okay but it looks good I'm just going to add a little bit of transparency so it won't be the thing that stands out the most and that's it I'm going to leave it like this but of course change the text that we see here okay but right now I'm going to save all of this going to click on update now I'm going to click on the text I'm going to make this in bold so that we can see it better so welcome and now I'm going to show you guys something I'm not sure if you guys know about it yet but there is a cool AI tool called chat GPT that's going to help us brainstorm some really good lines to write now if you made it this far you're about to learn some of the best bonuses that we have in this video so good job being patient and showing that you're serious about your

technology I'm going to change that to with our laser hair epilator technology and I'm not going to keep this text here at the bottom because I just think it's too small and not too many people are going to be able to read it so I'm just going to remove this block and here maybe we'll add some functions to the text to just make it stand out a little bit more because there's all of that image in the background and it's blending in too much this background color is not going to work let's maybe add a gradient and I'm going to capitalize the first letter of each word I'm going to wrote this colorful background again put more hours into working to your website and don't make it look you know this spammy but I really want to show you these options that you can really play around and customize it for whichever way you see fit for now I'm just going to leave this and maybe update it later and so that is this block right here I'm going to click on update and let's check out our

the front page first I need to import my product to my store and then of course I'm going to continue optimizing my page okay my front page and my product page and all of that but let's add the product right now to our stores and for that I'm going to use of course auto DS where I can completely automate my dropshipping business when it comes to price and stock monitoring automatic orders and easy customer service platform price automation settings and so much more that we have going on can go over everything right here but if you want to scale your business the right way you have to add automation so that you can sell hundreds or even thousands of products and having every part of the process automated for you so without diving too deep into it register for your account on auto DS and once you're inside on the left side you're going to click on the stores then we're going to click on add store and we're going to choose WooCommerce store okay now I'm going to click continue now we need to enter my store URL so here I'm going to enter product chasers.com and then we're going to click on add store now it's taking me to the WooCommerce and auto DS connection so auto DS will like to connect to your store and I'm going to click on approve now how simple was that the WooCommerce store is now added to the auto DS platform and I can start my business automation using auto DS so I'm just going to unselect all of the other stores that I have here and I'm going to only select WooCommerce okay so now managing only my WooCommerce store instead of all my stores at once and I can start adding products to my WooCommerce store so let's already do that we already know what product we're going to add it's this one right here and I'm going to show you some cool tactics on what you can do to create a really good looking product page and really make it unique and stand out more than any other pages that you saw when you were searching for your competitors so here I'm going to just hover over the URL I'm going to copy it I'm going to head back to auto DS I'm going to click on add products I'm going to go with single product because it's just one and I'm going to add the URL right here the products URL publishing to my product chasers website using AliExpress China as the supplier in this example okay now I'm going to click on edit now quick and using the edit now quick it's actually adding it to the drafts section of my store where I can optimize the product before publishing it to my store and having it go live but I could also just publish it right away and also work from WordPress but it is easier for me to work through auto DS okay and in just a few seconds the drafts process is complete and the product is now on my drafts page so we can see it right here I'm going to open up the editor right here and of course I'm not going to keep this really bad title with all these numbers in the beginning and overall I'm just going to create a much much better title than flashes eight levels laser epilator permanent IPL photo epilator blah blah blah blah so let's first of all write a good product title so here I'm going to head back to chat GPT our good artificial intelligence friend that's absolutely free to use so what I'm going to do right now is it already remembers our chat it already remembers the product that we're talking about so I'm just going to tell it right three good product titles for this product okay so the first one is laser hair removal device achieve silky smooth skin in a few simple steps second one advanced hair removal technology say goodbye to unwanted hair and the third is unleash your beauty potential it's more like models I want product titles so what I'm going to do is I'm going to revise my question I'm going to get the title that we had so far and now in chat GPT generate three engaging product titles for this product now I'm going to paste that product title so I'm kind of starting a new chat here and I want to have a fresh start and see what it can generate just by using the title that's on Ali express the first one effortlessly remove unwanted hair with the eight level laser epilator pain-free permanent hair removal with the IPL photo epilator and the ultimate solution for smooth skin the laser hair removal depiladora I'm going to go with epilator but I'm going to take this title right here and head back to auto DS and in the draft section right here I'm going to change the product title to the ultimate solution for smooth skin the laser hair removal epilator okay that's the title I'm going to keep the tags like this I'm not going to go over all the stuff right here I'm just going to enable price and stock monitoring and automatic orders and now we have the product description okay so here we have a really not so good description given to us by a Chinese seller and the English isn't good the grammar isn't good we need to fix it so for example like this one right here after turning on the machine short press the emission button for so the English here anyway isn't good and what we're going to do is we're going to copy all of this text head back to chat GPT and we're going to ask it to rewrite this product description I also like to add use bullet points and emojis because it's much more friendlier to read this type of text then we're going to paste all that text and hit enter okay now let's see what good title chat GPT is going to generate for us for this product okay introducing the laser hair removal equipment perfect for long-term hair removal results you can remove your hair about a million times comes with a free gift of glasses and a shaver so we've got the side specifications manual in all these types of languages power levels 1 through 8 main function hair removal additional functions skin rejuvenation and acne reduction and more technical specifications triple security protection with a nice lock emoji so bullet lists on that humanized design concept with more information on that and just look at the wonderful job that chat GPT is doing to create a wonderful product description which looks much much better than this bunch of text and of course the English is perfect in terms of grammar and there is no plagiarism so you can see right here that it's continuing to write and now it's finished with the last note here at the end so I'm going to take all of this product description which came out really really wonderful and I'm going to add that to the draft section of my store in the product description okay so we have all of that here I'm going to remove what we had from AliExpress and keep only what I just added okay so now it looks really really good and I'm going to click on save just to save the info that we did so far so we've got a good title and we've got a good description next we've got variations so here you can see that the autodesk system imported all of the variations from AliExpress to this page so we have all of these colors all of the different plug types and in total we've got 36 different variations so we have a lot to offer and it only took us a minute to add all of this information to our website now if I click on edit on one of these variations you can see that we have full control including how much fees we're paying so for example if you're paying a 15% fee and you want to make 30% profit on top of that then in this case you need to sell it for 51.46 and I always like to round my cents to 0.97 or 0.99 in this case it'll be 50.97 and I'll make almost $10 in profit if of course that really was my break even fee and now I'm going to click on save and I also have I don't know if you noticed but include shipping price so even if my suppliers do not include a shipping price Autodesk will automatically take the shipping price from the supplier add that to our buy price and of course calculate the right selling price accordingly and keep our profit margin so we can see that everything here was automated for us really really well and you can also make bulk changes so if you want to change let's say your break even and your profit percentage you can just select all the variations click on edit and change whatever it is that you want okay next you've got the products images so as I mentioned everything got imported from AliExpress to our product page we don't need to touch anything here but you do have an advanced image editor if for example you want to add text or if you want to crop out things so you have all the options down here not going to get into it now but know that it exists and there's the item specifications which of course everything here was automated for us so we have all the item specifications so that our buyers will understand exactly what they are getting and what this product has I'm done I'm going to click on save and import and in just a couple of minutes that it took me to work on this product I will now have about 40 different variations of this laser hair appulator uploaded to my WooCommerce store so I'm done here on Autodesk let's go back to WooCommerce so back to the WooCommerce menu I'm going to click on products on the left side to show you that the product went through successfully and what it looks like so here on the products page we can see all the products that we have now I'm going to remove everything besides this product of course for the laser hair appulator that we uploaded but the rest of these is just a demo for the free store front theme which I don't really need because I'm not going to use any of those images so I'm just going to select all of them besides of course the product that we just up and in bulk actions I'm going to move it to move to trash okay then I'm going to click on apply then I'll only have that one product and let's just see that in a second okay so all of those products move to the draft and now we only have this okay so the ultimate solution for smooth skin laser hair removal appulator let's click on edit and see that all the information that we had actually went inside okay so here we have the products title and we have the permalink right here so you can also change the slug the slug is the last part of the URL so here in this example it's laser hair appulator which makes sense so productjustice.com slash product slash laser hair appulator we can also change the slash product if we change the name of this page in the pages section but we're not going to get into that now so here we go introducing the laser hair removal equipment I'm going to put this in bulk just to make it look better but this is everything that chat GPT pretty much generated for us and did a really really good job at it and this is what we need for our product page if I continue scrolling down you can see that you have control over more things like the products data so inventory if you want you can add things like SKUs shipping so what is the weight of this unit and the dimensions link products and more but we don't need to get into it now and that's pretty much it so we have this product I'm just going to click on update to update the text changes that I made here with the bold and so now we can see that the product is ready so I'm ready to add it to my front page so now let's go back to the front page editor if you don't remember where it is just go to your pages and edit the front page right here okay so that is what we're seeing here and let's continue so up until now we did all of this and now we have all these blocks which I don't need I want to show my product right now so I'm just going to hover over every block I'm going to click on it and click on backspace just to remove all these blocks that we don't need and add whatever blocks we do need now we can add these blocks using the add widget function I talked about widgets but I didn't show you I will show you it now but for now I'm just going to remove all of these text fields and all of these extra blocks and we're just going to add them on our own so I didn't really need the theme in the first place but it's easy to start with the theme and slowly work your way down so here we have an option to add a new block so I'm just going to click on the plus down here below add block and here we can choose whatever widget we want for example I want to add a new product so I'm going to search for the word product and here I can add let's see product filters product row product search products beta should be this one okay let's try it out and it already knows what product it already chose that product because I only have one product and in select options this should be the variation chooser and the products title is right here and the price ranges for all the variations inside and another way to add these widgets is also to click on the plus button up here and you can pretty much do the same thing here okay you have all these patterns so if you want to create a page that just looks like this like a template for a page and then create your page on top of that you can easily do that here through patterns but right now we're on blocks so you can also add your widgets through here so you can see all the options that you have you can add different text options you can add images galleries audio files video files which will also add the AliExpress video that we have from there different designs buttons groups and the widgets that I mentioned so posts categories list archives let's see what options we have here for products it's probably the same so we have products beta products by category by tags by attribute featured category featured product let's try featured product it'll probably show it even better so I'm going to go with featured product nope in this case it's going to show this so I don't really like it and that is why you need to play around with all your options and see what option is going to look best on your website so I'm just going to keep the product that we added here it looks good and I'm going to click on update okay so let's see what's next I don't know what this widget is doing here so I'm just going to click on that block and click on backspace okay update the website and let's take a look right now so up until now we had all these categories that we don't need we remove the images we remove the text let's refresh the page right now okay so here we have again the logo the cover image the banner and we have the product right here okay it looks very basic right now but I really want to go through all the steps and make sure that you guys when you get to it put more hours of work into it than what I'm putting now because you can't really create a website in just one hour but you want to know where all the tools are so that you can completely customize it and make it your own in any case if we click on the product we'll go inside the product page and see everything that we have here so we have all of the product's images all uploaded onto the product page along with the title the price ranges and here you can select your colors so you can choose whatever variations you want like I can go with the black model and choose the EU plug and it's going to show me that image okay so here you can choose whatever you want you can see how much we have in stock and add it to your cart so here the customer is going to add it to cart and check out of course they've got the product's information right here and everything right here is in a default view without jumping into it and really customizing how everything looks but you know how to control everything and where you have those options now if I would have went with another widget like adding a featured product it would have looked like this but even though the shop now looks pretty good but I just think it's too long and I think that this one just came out a little bit nicer so of course play around with the different options that you have and select which one best suits your store now of course you can add a featured products you can add more products you can add accessories and really fill up this page and make it look good but for now I'm just going to keep it as a one product now let's add a video showing what this product can do okay we can add the video to the home page we can add it to the product page but for now let's get those videos and add it so what I'm going to do is I'm going to head over to AliExpress but for here I need a different extension I needed an extension that also can download AliExpress videos and here you're going to search for an AliExpress video downloader and I could go with any one of these tools like this one right here but I need to get too much much more things in this video and it's already too long so do you use an extension that can download videos from AliExpress download the videos that you see right here and then all that you need to do is head back to your product page or to your home page you can add it also here and also there and when you're adding another widget which is what we're going to do right here I'm going to click on the plus to add another block and I'm going to click on video so here we can add a video you know that you downloaded from your supplier that I wanted to do but let's just make it quicker I'm going to add a YouTube embedded video I searched for a hair removal tool this one looks pretty close to what we're selling right here but this is just as an example we've got this nice lady here with these really funny facial expressions so I'm just going to click on share so I'm going to click on copy head back here and embed that URL okay so it embedded the video right here below the product and of course I can do the same on the product page okay so for now I'm just going to update the front page and now let's also go to the product page I'm going to click on products then I'm going to edit the product that we uploaded and I think we can add it maybe even before the explanations I'm going to click on add media insert from URL and this is the URL right here and I'm going to click insert into product okay so it's going to embed that video right here okay so let's take a look at the video that we added and how our front page looks so far okay so we've already seen all of this I'm just going to scroll down where we have the product however there are two things that are bothering me here so one you can see that the video here came out way way too big and it's not even being centered in the middle and it's the same goes for the product right here we want it to be in the center we want it to look good we want everything to be aligned well so let's go ahead and fix that right now so I'm going to go back to the home page editor so in this case I need to edit my front page okay so I'm going to go to manage pages I can also click on pages on the left side and we've got the main page which is right here the front page laser hair app later I'm going to click on edit and now let's go back down to that block that's bothering us so that's this block right here so you guys can see that we have a block and inside this block we have the product and the video and because we added both of them we can't really align it to the center or anything so what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a new block and in that new block I'm going to add the product and I'm going to create another block for the video so let's do that now really quick I'm going to click on the plus right here to add a new block and it's going to be a featured product and of course we are going for the product that we all know okay so I'm just going to go with that one okay and next I'm going to add the video so let's click on plus YouTube now we need the URL so let's get it from here let's click on the share button now we've got the link right here so I'm just going to paste that right here and click on embed okay now we have the video and it looks like it's being centered so first of all let's kill off this block because we don't need it anymore okay so I just hit backspace and that block is now dead okay now I'm going to update the page and let's go back to productchages.com so as you can see right here the product is aligned to the left the video is way too big and aligned to the left let's see if we were able to fix that so I'm going to refresh and there we go so now everything is aligned first we have the product then we have the video and of course we can change the layout of the product so if they click on shop now they're going to go to the product page and here they can choose their variations and this is everything that we saw so far with the product page with everything that we made with everything that we did already and it looks good however we may not like this specific design so we can always click on the image and here on the right side you have all kinds of options like here there is no product description so I'm just going to remove it and now the text is more centered on the inside I can show the price or not show the price I can have a fixed background but it doesn't look that good because then we're seeing the corner or repeated background but in this case the image is big enough so it doesn't really need to be repeated then we've got this little toggle right here image fit none or cover doesn't make a big difference and focal point picker so here you can choose what part of the image you want to show okay so you can play around with it you can use the different product to show instead of featured product you can choose another option and it'll show you another type of design layout for that product but in any case here you have the options to change what we're seeing over here but overall it looks pretty good we've got the banner we've got the product we've got the video the only thing that's missing here on the front page is the footer menu and the only thing that may be missing here on the front page may be some customer testimonials to talk about this product so before I show you how to add customer testimonials I want to first set up the navigation menu so that we'll have a footer menu and a header menu with all of the right pages inside then I'm going to show you some cool WordPress plugins to use on your WooCommerce store and we'll continue from there so before we start setting up our footer and our header menu we first need to set up all the pages that we want to actually have inside so one of those pages are the legal pages that we're obligated to have so that actually includes our shipping policies our return policies our payment policies terms of service you can even add frequently asked questions contact us of course who we are and all of that so how can we create those pages as fast as possible and as efficiently as possible watch what I'm about to show you so there's a link in the blog article below this video which will lead you to a cool plugin called Privacy Policy Generator so this is a WordPress plugin and I'm going to recommend some more plugins soon I'm even going to show you another one to import customer reviews so that we can really get a good looking product page with customer testimonials and that of course will help the customers get the confidence that they need to check out on our store but before that this is a plugin and what plugins are basically our add-ons to our store that can do all kinds of things like in this case create legal pages for us so talk less do more let me show you exactly what this does so there are two ways to add plugins to your store one is to download the file right here and then to upload it into the plugins page and the second is to simply go to the plugins section so let's go back to WordPress and here on the left side I'm going to click on plugins there's install plugins or add new in this case we don't have any installed plugins we want to add a new one so I'm going to click on add new and here you have a few options one is you can upload a plugin so if I would have downloaded the plugin from right here from this page then I would have a zip file downloaded on my computer and then I would have to upload that here or I could search for plugins from here download and install them on my WordPress account so let's keep it simple and do it like that so I'm going to search for privacy policy generator but it should find it here we go privacy policy generator terms and conditions generator for WordPress plugin WP legal pages now there are others here that can also do it for you so you will have to test out the different ones and see which one is good for you but they should all work pretty well let's go with this example so I clicked on install and as you can see right now it's installing and that's it already installed so I'm just going to click on activate in order to activate the plugin and start working on it so now it's installed and every time you install a plugin you're going to see it on the left side on your menu so you can see right here under plugins I have a new plugin called WP legal pages so I'm just going to click on it and here I can actually start working with the plugin okay so the first thing I did was accept the terms of use now I want to configure the details of the personalized pages so let's click on configure details and see what options we have there so the domain name is already filled in business name we can also call it product chasers this is all basic information let's see what else we have so here there's an option under compliances to add the legal pages to the footer menu so you can do that but I want to show you how to do that manually because there are more pages that I want to add then we have short codes in all kinds of things so anyway those are just some of the options that you have but they're not mandatory now I'm going to click right here on the left side under settings I'm going to click on create legal page welcome to the legal pages wizard okay so we can go for a standard privacy policy terms of use DMCA and standard CCPA for California based users in this case I'm just going to create the standard privacy policy for this example and you can continue with the rest of them okay so select the language English the name the website so this is the information that we filled in in the settings one step before this one I'm going to click on next okay what kind of personal information is collected so here you're letting the plug in know what types of information you're gathering from the customer like when he checks out on your website and when he enters his payment information and all that so we got the customer's name email phone address social media profile information we don't necessarily have to ask for that but it's enough to even ask for it then you have to fill it in but in this case we're not really asking for their social media profiles and we can keep the rest checked out if required by law or subpoena will you disclose personal information of users to law enforcement agents most likely we'll have to so we're going to leave that on yes now let's click on next and lo and behold we have a privacy policy so it's that simple privacy policy welcome to productchasers.com the site and the rest of the privacy policy information with the type of information that you're collecting according to what you filled in so as you see productchasers is being filled in and your email address and everything else all the rest of the information that you gave it so it's this easy to create your policy pages so what I'm going to do now is click on create and edit so it's actually going to create this as a page for me and that's what I just did so now I have a page it's called privacy policy and it's everything that it just created for me so the only thing that I need to do now is click on publish and the page will be active on my store and anyone can go and see it but before that I just need to add it to one of my menus so that people will actually know that it exists okay so what we're going to do now is see what pages we have first of all just to make sure that I have enough pages to add to my header and footer menu so I clicked on pages and as you can see we have a blog page I still need to show you how to write a good blog article and I'm going to show you a neat trick soon the cart page when they add to cart check out the front page my account after they create an account if they create one the privacy policy that we just created now and the shop which shows the products so now that I have that I want to create a blog article and add that to the blog page so right now we're looking at pages and a post belongs under the blog page so as you see right here on the left side we have posts what I'm going to have to do is create a post which is the actual blog article then I'm going to connect that post to the blog page so that if anyone enters my blog page they'll be able to see all of our actual blog articles okay and now we're going to write and it's only going to take a couple of minutes and it's going to be completely unique let's go so here on the left menu I'm going to click on posts then I'm going to click on add new because as you can see right here we have zero posts zero blog articles okay so we've got the title and the text so what are we going to do what article are we going to write here I'm going to get help from my best friend called chat GPT now by the time you're watching this video I don't know if chat GPT is still free but right now everybody's taking advantage or at least all the smart people are taking advantage of this great artificial intelligence tool and when I mean smart people I mean of course the ones that actually figured out about this tool and if you're following our YouTube channel then you are way way ahead of your competition and if you don't have chat GPT or if by the time you're watching this video it's maybe not free anymore or whatever it could be free forever but there are many AI tools out there like Jasper and copy AI and writer.ai and many others that could help you write unique blog articles and of course you can also write it on your own without getting any help from any AI but right now we're looking to save time automate our businesses while still having a good passive income from our automated business so what we're going to do now is speed things up with chat GPT so we're actually looking for a blog article to write something around this product so that if someone is searching for something that's relevant to this product they're going to see our blog article on Google read our blog article get good value from it and continue to our website to the product page and hopefully check out with the product so we need to write a good blog article around this product so what I'm going to do is I'm going to tell chat GPT generate five blog article ideas about laser hair epilators and let's see what it could generate for us so the first one is the science behind laser hair epilation how it works and its benefits comparing laser hair epilation to traditional hair removal methods laser hair epilation for men a guide to hair removal for men laser hair epilation for sensitive skin and laser hair epilation at home pros and cons of do it yourself hair removal with a laser epilator I'm going to go with that one because this one can speak to everyone in general and it also has things that people are looking for so they're going to use it at home so it connects to home and they're going to want to know about the pros and cons when you're doing it yourself with a laser hair epilator so let's go ahead and write a blog article about this one how it works and its benefits is too simple and it's just how it works it doesn't really go into detail about what you can do with it and a patient for men so then what about the women and for sensitive skin well, what about the ones who don't have sensitive skin so this is one blog article that can reach a broader audience so I'm going to start with that one so I'm going to get this title and then I'm going to tell chat GPT well, first of all, we're going to have this as a title so I'm going to go back to the ad new post and I'm going to copy this one and make that our title okay now we need the text so what are we actually going to write so brainstorm five headings for the article titled what we just talked about so now it's going to actually brainstorm the topics that we should be writing about inside the title inside the blog article that we chose so do it yourself hair removal the convenience of laser hair application at home the pros and cons of using a laser a plater for at home hair removal is at home laser hair application safe and effective the cost effectiveness of doing it yourself and making the decision comparing at home laser hair removal to professional treatments okay so these are our headings let's start writing about each one guess I'm just going to copy the first heading in the blog article head back to WordPress and on the first block I'm going to type slash heading and of course choose heading and the heading here is going to be that title okay I'm just even going to make it bold to make it stick out even more so this is the first heading that we have you can see right here it's a heading to and I'm going to click enter so that we can actually start writing under this heading now usually what you would do is also add images to the blog articles you can add a featured image so we can do that if we click right here on post instead of block we're going to click on post and here you can add a featured image which the reader will be able to see even on Google when he's searching and he sees your page but you can also add images of course inside the blog articles so let's say under the title could add it which by the way in this case we need to fix the title because you can see right here on the left side that it's just a paragraph so what you're going to do here is use the block editor and type slash title and this way you're going to create a title for the post okay so it knows that that's the post title so I can just remove this paragraph here on top which of course wasn't right so make sure you're using slash title for the titles unless it automatically gave you an option to add a title in some cases I guess it will and of course add your headings with slash heading so the first heading is here and now we can start actually writing the text now again you can add images anywhere you want for example go to the products images and add them in any place that you want remember that you're using a block editor even for the post so here I can just write slash and I can see all of the triggers that I can use to add to the blog article so here I'm just going to write image and then here of course I can add images and just make the blog more friendly but we already know that let's put that on the side and continue writing this blog article so back to chat GPT I'm going to tell it to write some paragraphs about the first heading so I'm going to copy it and I'm going to tell it write three paragraphs for the heading and let it know what heading we're talking about and hit enter so now it's actually going to write about that one and what we're going to do is copy the same practice for each and every heading until we get to the conclusion at the end okay so as you can see right here it's writing a pretty good looking article so laser hyperlation has become a very popular method of hair removal in recent years offering long lasting results and minimal pain compared to traditional methods the technology has advanced to the point where laser appellators are now available for use at home moving on one of the main benefits so here we're talking of course about the benefits of it because this is the heading do yourself hair removal the convenience of laser hair appellation at home and however it is important to note that while the appellation can be convenient it should be done with caution so of course we need to be careful and in any case this is a pretty good way to start the article and if you would like to see I will run a plagiarism checker just to make sure that this blog article isn't already being used somewhere else with the same texts and all of that so what I'm going to do right here is through Grammarly I'm going to go through their plagiarism checker so I'm just going to paste that text right here then I'm going to click on plagiarism down here and let's see what we got let's give it a second and we've got 7% plagiarism which is almost nothing so the technology has advanced to the point where is considered plagiarism but anyone can use that text and also this one right here however it is important to note that while so these are words that anyone can use and this isn't plagiarism this text is unique and of course we can use that for our blog article so I'm going to copy that and this is the first heading so we already have the first heading down now we can move to the next heading so slash heading okay now we can see that I have a heading text space right here and we can move to the next heading which is this one the pros and cons of using a laser hair applicator for at home removal okay so that's the next heading right here then I'm going to hit enter to write the paragraph under that and I'm going to tell chatGBT the same thing now it remembers your conversation so everything we did here it remembers so I could tell it because the last thing I told it to do was write three paragraphs I could tell it do the same here and it knows exactly what to do so now we're going to get three paragraphs for this of course you can change around you can make two paragraphs four paragraphs don't make it too much because people are not looking to read a book but they do want the right information so that they'll learn about the product in the best way as possible and this is a rinse and repeat process so once it finishes writing this we're going to copy we're going to paste it back to our post and we're going to publish the post once we're done with all the headings however in this case the video is long enough and I think that you guys get the point so let's just copy this and finish up with that blog article and you can continue using it on your niche and write as many blog articles as you can you can easily write 10 blog articles per day using this method that automates everything for you and writes good unique blog articles so now I'm just going to click on publish okay and again I'm going to click on publish so now it's actually going to publish the blog article and now all I need to do is add it to my pages okay so I can click on view post just to see what it came out like and you can see right here so we've got the blog article here's the title here's the first heading here is the text and then the second heading which I didn't put into bold just like I did on this one so of course preview your work and make sure that it looks good so if anyone would now search on Google for laser hair application at home or pros and cons of hair removal with laser applicators or something close to that and your article is good it should rank well on Google make it to the first page and that way you're going to get free organic traffic to your store without having to pay all kinds of sources to bring traffic to your store because now it's coming automatically because you already did the work before we finish up let's go back to the post editor because I want to show you guys a few more neat tricks that you need to know about so the first one is the URL you can see right here that it took the whole title and added that to the URL so the way to get to this blog article is productchasers.com slash laser hair appellation at home pros and cons of hair removal it's way way too long and it's not under slash blog so if you want to have a blog page and put all of your articles under your blog page so that you'll have it all organized there I'm going to show you how to do that now so what we're going to do now is we're going to have productchasers.com slash blog slash the article's name but we're also going to make a shorter URL so what I'm going to do first is make a shorter URL then I'll show you how you can add it to your blog page okay so here is the permalink this is the last part of the slash that you see here in the URL so productchasers.com slash we're going to have blog slash all of this title right here let's just make it laser appellator right there okay you know maybe even laser hair appellator okay and this is going to be the last part of the URL so it's going to be productchasers.com slash blog which I'll teach you to do now slash laser hair appellator so let's see how that works right now I'm just going to save it like this and of course you can add it to a category in this case I don't really need any because it's my only blog article and I won't have any categories but you get the point and now here's how to add all of it to your slash blog so that you can put all of your blog articles under your blog section so let's go back to the WordPress menu and on the left side under settings we're going to look at two things here so the first one is reading so we're going to click on that and here you can see reading settings so your home page displays first either your latest post or a static page of course we're going to go with a static page so the home page is always going to show the laser hair appellator page which is our front page and our post page is our blog so every time we write a post like what we just did it's going to be added to the blog but how do we add the slash blog in the URL just so that we'll have a good organizational structure for our website and it won't be product teachers dot com slash blog post but rather slash blog slash blog post and that way we have everything organized in a much much better fashion so this is the first thing that we're going to do make sure that your post pages is on the blog and that your home page is of course on your front page and that you're looking at a static page the next thing under settings is permalinks so we're going to click on permalinks and now your permalink structure should be on post name so every time you create a new post it's going to be product teachers dot com slash sample post but in this case we want to add that slash blog and of course you can make that slash whatever you want but in this case here's how you're going to do it we're going to click on custom structure and now whenever we have a new post it's going to be product teachers dot com slash blog slash post name and the post name is the title of the blog article so it's the last part that we put in the URL in our case we just shortened it to laser hair epilators and of course you can add remove and edit anything you want like I could have slash blog slash category slash post name or whatever you want but in this case slash blog slash post name is enough for us so I'm going to leave it like this and we're going to click on save changes permalink structure updated and now let's go ahead and take a look so let's head back to product teachers dot com and now we're going to click on blog and don't worry next we're going to fix all of this header menu that we have up here as well as the footer menu but let's click on blog because that's good for now so blog and we've got the laser hair epilator so I'm going to click on that article and as you can see right now the URL is product teachers dot com slash blog slash laser hair epilator and not just product teachers dot com slash laser hair epilator so this is a blog article where we shortened the end part of the URL and we now added the slash blog to the URL to organize all of our blog posts to be here and this is going to make your website better for Google better for crawling and better for getting free organic traffic as long as you have some really good blog posts in certain areas that people are actually searching for okay so that's enough about the blog add your blog articles use the help from AI to get that done even quicker and better for you and now let's learn about how to set up our header menus and our footer menus okay so what we're going to do here on the left side is hover over appearance and we're going to click on menus now remember we don't have all the pages that we need so far there are still some pages that we haven't created yet like the contact us page who we are terms of service and all of that but first of all let's understand how to create these menus then later on when we create these pages we can easily add them to these menus okay so the first menu is the header menu on top so we're going to call it header menu and the menu settings this is going to be the primary menu okay now I'm going to click on create menu and now you can see on the left side that I can start adding pages to the menu so I'm going to click on view all to be able to view all of my pages and here I'm going to choose of course the laser hair escalator that's the front page the blog cart my account I'm not going to add check out because they'll have that option from the cart we can add the my account even though they don't have to create an account so I'm going to leave that out for now and the privacy policy I'm going to add that on the footer and the shop should show the products page but we didn't actually create one yet so let's just leave that out so just the front page the blog page and the cart page I'm going to click on add to menu and now we have these options here now I can drag and drop it if I want for example to see the cart before the blog but in this case it's a good structure so we're going to keep it like this and you can also add a sub item so the laser hair escalator the blog can be under that but in this case we want it to be on the side okay so right here it looks good and I'm just going to click on save menu and now if I go back to product chases.com and I refresh the front page lo and behold now we have the front page the blog and the cart so that's exactly what we just added in the header menu and that's exactly what we're seeing up here so now we have control over the header menu and it's the same explanation for the footer menu so let's go back to the menus and here I'm going to click on menus again to go back to the front menus page and create a new menu this time it is the footer menu so it's going to be called footer and this is a secondary menu now what's important to note here is that the secondary menu option that we have it's not the footer menu so we have the primary menu which is the header a secondary and handheld is not footer secondary we'll show up right here so privacy policy so as you can see right here it's not the right place so what happened here was this theme does not support footer menus now that doesn't mean that we cannot have a footer menu and if the theme would have supported it then we would have had the option right here so I'm not sure if it's a bug or if the theme really doesn't support it but I'm going to show you another way to get this footer menu to be shown on our front page so what we're going to do is go to the page editor and we're going to edit the front page now I'm not talking about the appearance and themes where we're actually editing the theme on the front page but we're actually editing the front page itself so what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on pages and then on the front page I'm going to click on edit now what I can do is as you can see, the menus are more related to the theme itself so you can see here that I cannot see the header menu when I'm editing the front page so as you can see we have this menu here but that's related to the theme and not to the page so here we don't see the footer and the header menus However, because in the theme, I cannot create a footer menu, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do it through the page editor. So now I'm on the front page editor, and this ladies facial expression is, it's just a funny thing to work with. But so what I'm going to do here on the bottom is I'm going to click on add blocks. So as if I'm creating a new block. And here I'm just going to write the word navigation. So what I'm doing here is I'm adding a widget or a block called a navigation. And as you can see it automatically added all of the links, all of the pages that I have all the links to the pages right here, but I don't want all of these links right here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on the block, then I've got the block editor right here on the right side. Then what I'm going to do here is under menu instead of navigation, I'm going to click on footer because we have a footer menu that we created. And once I click on that, you can see that the footer menu changed to the privacy policy page, because that's the only page that we added so far to the footer menu. Okay, so I can keep this and I can also add more links as you can see right here. So I can add a link. And so actually what I can do here is I can add as many more links as I want to this footer menu. Okay, but right now we don't have any links to add. So we're just going to keep it with the privacy policy and we're going to update our front page just like that. So now if I refresh productcasters.com, we've got the header menu. Of course, we need to add more pages there. And if I scroll down, then we have the footer menu here. Now, don't mind the edit button, whoever's viewing the site is not going to see that. But here is another place where we can actually have our footer menu. Now, of course, we're going to space it out, we're going to put it more on the bottom, we're going to structure is it more. But here I'm just showing you the technical stuff. And of course, you guys can get creative because this takes more time. And of course, you can see that this video ran for long enough. And good job with your patience so far. This is a really in depth tutorial. And I hope that you are finding the value in it. Don't forget to like and share and also subscribe to our YouTube channel if you appreciate the value that you're getting here. So now that we understand the concepts of how to create a header menu in a footer menu, I now want to show you how you can create a forms page so that you can create, for example, a contact us page and add that to your header menu. So here we're going to use a plugin and soon I'm going to talk more about plugins, what other plugins you guys need to be working with. But here we're going to go with a plugin that's already pre installed on my WordPress menu. And if it's not installed for you, it's a free plugin just search for WP forms. So this is the plugin right here. Let's go and take a look and create our new form. So here I'm going to click on add new and we're going to simply going to create a very easy and simple contact us form. It's going to turn it into a page. Then we're going to add that page to our header menu. Welcome to the form builder. Let's just click on let's go. And what I want here is a simple contact form. So I'm just going to click on use template. And this is why we need plugins. It just simply creates things for us on the fly and in just a couple of minutes. OK, so here you can customize everything that you want to have. So you saw on the general. So let's go ahead and get started. So we've got the general. So the form name is we're going to call it contact us. OK, then the form description and this is just the settings. But let's start with the fields. So I'm going to click on fields and the first field that we'll have is your name. So here, for example, you can call it first and last name. And you can see that it's changing in here too. And the format is first and last. And in the description, you don't really have to add something because it's obvious what they need to do here. But you can write write your first and last name. But that's obvious. So we don't really need it. And this is only for the name. So you can see that it's not required. But in this case, it should be required. Maybe the last name is not. But that's that you can rearrange everything that you see here. So you can start first, for example, with the email address. OK, so here is the email. You can write email address or whatever or whatever you want. And of course, the description and enable email confirmation. It's not that friendly for for the user. So don't leave that on. And those are the field options. So let's go back. So what we've got so far is email address first and last name and what exactly do you want to write? OK, and that's it. Then they're going to click on submit and you will get the message on your dashboard. You'll see that you have a message from your customer or it'll get sent to your email address. And of course, we can add as many more fields as you want. So for example, you can add a single line text right here to this form and write whatever you want here. For example, topic, like what is the topic? Why are you reaching out to us and have the description here? But that's just an example. Let's delete that. And you have more things like a paragraph text, a drop down menu or give them maybe a multiple choice. So you can even run surveys and things like that, checkboxes and so forth. But let's keep it super, super simple. I just want a contact us page. So let's leave it at that. And we're going to click on save. OK, so we just created a customized contact us page and it just took us a couple of minutes. Now, how do we actually add it to our menus and to our pages? So what we're going to do next is head back to WordPress and under pages, we're going to add a new page. And this, of course, is going to be your contact us page. So I'm going to click on add new. And under the title, I'm going to call it contact us. And I'm just going to write a quick text. Let us know what's on your mind and will answer you shortly. Now I want to add the next block. I want to actually add that menu. So I'm going to click on plus on the block editor. Sorry that you guys can see it because of this extension. And now we're going to write WP forms. OK, because I want to activate this widget. And now the plugin is asking me, what form do you want to add? So I'm going to click on the drop down menu and you can see that we have a contact us form because that's the one that we just created. And that's it. You can see the form is right here. I can preview the page and see how it came out. So let's take a look. OK, cool. Let us know what's on your mind and we'll answer you shortly. Email address first and last name and the comment message and click on submit. So cool. We got a contact us page and it took us just a couple of minutes to create thanks to the help of plugins. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to save this page because it's done now. I'm going to publish it. So as you can see right here, we have a URL. The pages is productchangers.com slash contact us. So now we're going to go back to the menus. So let's go back to the WordPress menu. We're going to click on appearance and menus again. Go to that header menu. So I'm going to click on this menu to edit. And I'm going to select that. And now what I'm going to do is click on contact us and add it to the menu. OK, so now it's going to be after the cart. And I'm going to click on save menu. And now on productchangers.com, you can see the contact us button right here. OK, so that's the page we just created. And that's how simple it is to create a contact us page. Now remember, you need to create the rest of your pages, the terms of service, the shipping and return policies and all of that. You can get help from chat GPT to do that for you. You can get plugins that will create these pages for you and simply ask you for basic information like what your business is named and all that, just like we did with the first policy that we added. And so that is pretty much simplified. You don't need me to show you how to do that again. You already know how to do it. Now you just need to work according to everything that I showed you in this video. Now be sure to check out our blog article to know about all of the legal pages that you need, but pretty much just name them all. So you've got the contact us page. You need an about us page, shipping policy, return policy, terms and conditions, privacy policy. And you can also add a frequently asked questions page, which is always a great thing to have because that way you're answering your customer's questions way before they even ask them and they won't even need to reach out to you and ask those questions. So just go ahead and continue with the checkout process. You can also get the help of chat GPT to help you think of frequently asked questions that people have around this item or just simply write the items name on Google and see what questions pop up on Google. And that way you'll know that this is a question that many, many people are asking about this product and add that to your frequently asked questions. So add those legal pages, add them to the footer and header menus of your website. Get help from the blog article to understand what's a good placement for each one. And now let's talk about plugins. So I already showed you a couple of plugins in this video live in action, like the WP forms, the WordPress forms to create the contact us page and the privacy policy page for our legal pages. Okay, so go ahead, continue with the rest of those pages. Let me know if you need help by the way below and I'll help you guys with every step of the way. But now let's talk about the recommended plugins to use. And I'm gonna show you a good plugin to import your customer's reviews for your product so that you'll get some social proof around your product and increase the chances of selling it right off the bat before your customers start writing their own customer reviews on your website. Okay, so right here you can see some of the best plugins that you should be using. The first one is called Monster Insights. This is a really good plugin to get analytics for your website. It connects with Google Analytics and its own algorithms to give you a really good detailed analytics view of what's going on on your website, what your customers are doing, what they're viewing, where they're bouncing off of your website and so much more of their behaviors of their demographics and all of that. And the good thing here is that there's a free plan and it's a free forever plan that you can use without the advanced features of course, but even the free features are good enough to add this plugin, get those insights in your analytics and of course every plugin that you'll add, you will see it on the left side of your menu right here under plugins. Okay, so be sure to add Monster Insights. The second plugin is a simple plugin called Redirection and what's good about this is it simply creates redirects for your URLs inside your website. Now this is a more advanced technique, but now and then you will create pages and you won't use the right URLs that you actually wanna use and later on you'll figure that out and then you'll wanna start creating some redirects but you don't wanna miss all the traffic that you had up until now and you don't want your audiences to go to a dead link cause you created a new one. So this is a good plugin to use to create redirections for your website and not lose your data and also not have customers go to any dead pages. The next one is called Jetpack. This is a security tool for your website and it also helps optimize your website and speed it up when it notices things like plugins and other things that are slowing down your website. So with Jetpack you have a free plan that's good forever and of course you've got paid plan just like almost any other plugin where you'll have more advanced features to speed up your website and more security options but this is more than enough to get started with a free plan and secure your website as well as speed it up. The third plugin is Yoast SEO. Now again they also have a free plan that you can use forever and what's good about Yoast SEO is it helps your blog articles and your pages and your website in general rank better on Google. It'll give you all kinds of tips like keywords you should be using, transition words and all kinds of other things that you can do on your website to make sure that it ranks higher on Google. As we know SEO stands for search engine optimization and that's exactly what this plugin is gonna do. Simply help you optimize your placement on Google, rank higher and get your website seen by more visitors. The next plugin is WPforms. Not gonna go over that cause I already showed you that plugin in action in this video but there's another bonus plugin that I wanna add and that of course is the review importer. So what we're gonna do now is we're going to search for the right review importer so I'm gonna go to plugins and I'm gonna click on add new. Now here I can search for any plugin that I want. So what I want is reviews and in this case I wanna get it from AliExpress because that is the supplier. So let's see if we've got it. Customer reviews collector for WooCommerce but I don't think this one is for AliExpress. So this is the plugin that you wanna use in order to import reviews from places like AliExpress to your WordPress website. So it's called iReview. Add reviews from AliExpress and Amazon to WooCommerce. You're gonna have to have this plugin and you're also gonna need to download and install their Chrome extension which is free and then you can follow this on page tutorial to understand how to use it. So search for iReview which they type RIV and the word you and get to this page, download the extension, download the plugin, install, watch the on-screen tutorial and understand how you can import those reviews. But I wanna show you something that's worth a little bit more than that and I talked about it in the beginning of this video and I didn't wanna show it up until now because, well, because you'll have to have a yearly plan which I believe is around $50 per year if I'm not mistaken but we are talking about the Elementor website builder and I already gave you a small hint about this plugin. However, I didn't want to demonstrate it because of its cost. Not everybody wants to put a budget aside for this but it's instead of having that block editor this is the best version of a block editor with so many more functions. Let me give you a quick look. So I just installed the plugin. Now I'm going to activate it just to show you what options it has including how to add all kinds of customer testimonials. Okay, in this case, I don't need to create an account. Let me just log in really quick. So I'm just gonna skip everything and this is just a small example of everything that you can do with Elementor. So this is just a random page called Elementor 185 inside our website. And as you can see right here I've got plenty and plenty of options. These things with the lock sign means that it's for the premium version but you also have the free version. So for example, if I want to create a heading I can quickly search for it here or just add it from here inside the widget. Okay, so this is a heading just like we did with the blog article but let's go to the more advanced stuff. And by the way, there's also a theme builder so you can completely build your theme from scratch. If I log in, I wouldn't see all of this upgrade but let's just keep it at this for now. It's not very crucial because I'm not really going to do this but I highly, highly suggest to use Elementor to either create your own theme or use a huge database of themes that are already available and completely optimize and customize your pages. Just look at all the options that you have here. So besides the normal stuff like adding videos and texts and all of that I can also add Google Maps, WP forms of course. I can add icons and then the more professional stuff that comes with the premium plan like advanced forms and maybe a login page, a navigation menu, animated headlines, price tables, price lists, call to action buttons, testimonial carousel which is great. So this is how you're going to get those customer testimonials and it'll actually be in this cool carousel effect on your website sending for media, a customer reviews, table of contents, share buttons, countdowns, quotes, Facebook comments so all kinds of social media buttons, a PayPal button, a playlist and the list just goes on and on and on and that's just for the page editor. You also have stuff for the site so things that have to do with the website and I just click back by accident but in any case, Elementor is going to make your job much, much easier. It's going to customize your site in a much, much better way and I highly recommend to use it if you've got a budget aside, you want to save time and make your website look even better. I really wanted to create this video off of Elementor but again, I'm taking into consideration that not everyone is going to use it so of course I'm just going to leave it on the side for a quick three minute explanation towards the end of the video which is what I just did but I highly suggest to use it and you'll create a website that looks much better than this in even a shorter amount of time. Now of course I am trying to move quicker, you can't really create a fully functional website with the best layout in just two hours which is what I've been doing here but I am giving you guys all the knowledge, all of the right steps, all of the right tools that you need so that you can create a much, much better looking website than the one that I created right here. But at the end of the day, we do have our website, we have our product page, it looks good and anyone can come in right now and purchase the product. However, the only problem is who even knows that this product exists and that is why we have marketing. We need to learn how to market our store and how to get our audience in front of our store, our target audience, the right audience to enter our product page and of course check out with the product.
