About

Brief – One-Product Shopify Store (Australia) Objective Build a Shopify store for the Australian market (mainly Melbourne). Start with one validated product, but if more practical, suggest a small range (up to 3 products) that fits the same niche. The store should be simple, branded, and easy enough for my 13-year-old son to manage after handover. Tasks 1. Product Research (2–3 days) - Provide 3–5 product ideas with: - TikTok trend proof (Creative Center or similar). - Google Trends / demand data. - Supplier links (AliExpress, Alibaba, or local AU suppliers). - Cost and margin estimates. - Compare 3 sourcing options: - Local dropshipping suppliers (fast delivery in AU). - Buying stock locally and self-shipping. - Overseas dropshipping (e.g. China) – only if justified, as shipping can take 10–25 days. - Estimate monthly sales potential using simple tools or competitor benchmarks (market size, trend strength). - Answer clearly: Can we realistically make money after this investment? - Advise on initial marketing angles: 2–3 ideas for TikTok/Instagram creatives or organic content (hooks, short scripts, examples). 2. Shopify Store Build (1–2 weeks) - Use Shopify Basic Plan. - Theme: start with a free option (Dawn, Sense). Suggest a paid theme only if benefits clearly outweigh the cost. - Build a branded one-product landing page with hero image/video, product benefits, FAQ, reviews, and strong CTA. - Configure store: - Domain connection. - Payments (Shopify Payments, PayPal, Afterpay). - GST and AU-compliant policies (refund, shipping, privacy). - Install and configure essential apps: - DSers/AutoDS (product import/automation). - Judge.me (reviews). - Email capture pop-up. - TikTok + Meta pixels (for ads). - AU Post shipping app (rates, labels, tracking). 3. Handover - Provide a step-by-step guide (PDF or video) covering: - Adding products. - Fulfilling orders. - Updating content/images. - Checking analytics. - Deliver a short training session (recorded or live) so my 13-year-old can confidently manage the store. Deliverables - Product research report. - Fully built Shopify store (ready to launch). - Documentation and training materials. Timeline - Product research: 2–3 days. - Store build: 1–2 weeks. Budget -A$500 for research, build, and handover. Questions for You - What products/niches do you recommend for Australian customers? - Do you have examples of one-product stores you’ve built? - Is this a reasonable way to start, or do you recommend a better approach? - Do you provide short post-launch support (bug fixes, tweaks, or Q&A for 1–2 weeks)?
