Free registration at the forum removes this block.I’d say the business isn’t a website, and that shopify is just a way *how* you’re selling your product to someone. You could start by selling without building the shopify store first.Maybe a stupid question as your post seems more about the philosophy of stop procrastinating and just do it already but...what if your business or business idea is a website (say through shopify or volusion) selling something in particular that lends itself to that medium? Wouldn't that constitute needing a website?

I'm not saying don't have a website, just that your goal is to make sales.Understood and totally get your point. Without a ton of money to invest into inventory I'm working on a drop ship model where I don't carry or pay for the product until it sells. While the business isn't a website, it is providing something of value to the marketplace that people are willing to pay for, I do need a channel with which to market the value. Do you have any suggestions on an alternate means of reaching customers.
(Of course this is just the start of my empire and first true business venture. I have plans for additional products that I would physically develop and stock.)

Get paid first?How do you not pay for product until it sells?
Sorry I got confused on the term drop ship. I think of it as my product that sits in a warehouse and some one ships it for me. In this case it was being used as I sell other people's product through my website in the Dropship company sends it to them.Get paid first?
How can you sell a product without a website? Put it up on Amazon, eBay, Facebook? Sell it door-to-door? Find out who already has your customers and do a deal with them?
Yes I was wondering the same thing.Are you referring to... having landing pages only (and driving quality traffic to those landing pages) , and not necessarily having (or needing) a home site (to obtain sales)?
Firstly, I love this thread.We've sold a dozen landing pages in the past year - without a landing page to sell them from.
Just found that amusing...
