1
00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:00,960
Okay.
2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:01,380
Brilliant.
3
00:00:01,380 --> 00:00:05,320
You've bought your Shopify plan and now you're looking at a page like this.
4
00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:11,760
Now the next thing we need to do is to get ourselves set up with a domain, a proper professional looking
5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,230
domain that properly represents our store.
6
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:16,290
So why do we need to do that?
7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,570
What have we actually got at the moment?
8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:27,330
Well, if I go back to my store, you might have noticed that my domain name is currently 9.338. my
9
00:00:27,330 --> 00:00:28,690
Shopify dot com.
10
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:32,040
I think you'll agree that's not a very professional looking domain name.
11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,060
What I want of course, is the dog address dot com.
12
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:37,570
So let's have a look and see how we can do that.
13
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:42,390
Now, there are two ways of setting up a domain for your store, and I'm going to show you both ways
14
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:44,340
so that you can make your own decision.
15
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:48,030
The first way is to head back to the Shopify admin.
16
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:51,360
Go down to your settings, way down the bottom left hand corner there.
17
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:56,130
Scroll down through the menu here until you see domains and click on that.
18
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:58,440
And this is where you see the two options.
19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,350
You either have the option to buy a new domain directly from Shopify or connect an existing domain.
20
00:01:04,350 --> 00:01:06,000
And I'm going to go through both of these.
21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,550
So let's first of all have a look at the buy new domain.
22
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:10,470
So let's click on Buy New Domain.
23
00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:13,950
And then you can see here it says, Enter the domain you want to buy.
24
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:17,600
We need to check to see if the domain I want is in fact available.
25
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:21,630
So what I'm looking for is a domain called the log.
26
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:24,070
Fedoras.
27
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:26,800
And then below here it's show me the results.
28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,900
And you can see that the dogwood door is dot com is available for a cost of $14 per year, which is
29
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:34,150
a very typical domain fee.
30
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:35,080
Now.
31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,270
I could therefore go ahead and simply click on this buy button and I would buy it from Shopify and now
32
00:01:40,270 --> 00:01:44,320
my store would be sitting under the dog of Dora's Dotcom, and that would be great.
33
00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:45,730
But there is a limitation.
34
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:50,260
There is a limitation by doing it via Shopify and it relates to email.
35
00:01:50,350 --> 00:01:57,250
Shopify doesn't have a full blown, proper professional email service, and for me at least, I think
36
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:58,330
that's not good.
37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,610
And the reason being is that they have what's called an email forwarding service.
38
00:02:03,610 --> 00:02:10,870
So in other words, somebody sends me an email to info at the dog doors dot com, which is going to
39
00:02:10,870 --> 00:02:11,920
be my new brand.
40
00:02:12,340 --> 00:02:15,470
It gets forwarded at this point to my personal email.
41
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:18,460
Tim Sharp at E Commerce Mindset dot com.
42
00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:25,420
So I receive the email, but then when I reply I'm replying on Tim Sharp at E commerce mindset and for
43
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:26,770
me that's a problem.
44
00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:28,090
Put yourself in that position.
45
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:32,710
You've been communicating with somebody on a professional level and then you start to get emails from
46
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:35,170
them from their own personal email.
47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,060
It just doesn't feel good.
48
00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:41,530
You know, I've talked so much in this course about building up trust with your customers, being such
49
00:02:41,530 --> 00:02:43,570
an important part of building any business.
50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,090
And for me, it's a lost opportunity.
51
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:49,660
It feels bad, it feels like you've lost a certain amount of trust.
52
00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:55,630
So for this reason, I prefer not to buy my domain through Shopify, and I prefer to do it in the alternative
53
00:02:55,630 --> 00:02:57,400
way, which I'm going to show you in a minute.
54
00:02:57,460 --> 00:03:02,920
Now, before I do show you that, I want to emphasize you can buy your domain through Shopify.
55
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:05,050
I do not want to push you in either direction.
56
00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:09,700
As I said just a few minutes ago, I'm simply giving you the information so that you can make your own
57
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:10,450
decision.
58
00:03:10,570 --> 00:03:11,080
All right.
59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,820
So now you've seen how to do it with Shopify.
60
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:14,320
You understand the limitations.
61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,330
Please go ahead and do it like this if you want.
62
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:18,550
Otherwise, if you're interested in do it the other way.
63
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:22,900
I'll see you in the next lecture where I'm going to describe what I consider to be at least the best
64
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:24,490
way to set up your domain.
