What is Goodsie.com and why should you care?
I had the good fortune to run into this sweet setup for creating an ecommerce store that was amazingly simple! I do believe anyone could do it… yep… even technophobes! Absolutely NO CODING required.
Straightforward, easy to follow step by step setup plus great support should you need it. It also ties in with PayPal and Google Checkout.
There’s just no reason to put off building your own store anymore.

I’m not worried.
While there are lots of DIYers in the web world, my expertise will always be needed. And I truly adore DIYers and that’s why I write this blog. To help you and offer valuable resources.
Goodsie ecommerce stores — free for the first month and then $15 per month thereafter, no transaction fees. You can see some “store of the day” picks on their blog here >>
What do you think? How’s that for simple?

Sounds pretty simple! CMS are great tools for people who don’t know HTML but still want to be in charge of their website and be able to update it whenever they need to. People just need to be sure they do a decent amount of research before selecting the one they use. You need to make sure it’s right for your company.

This is so cool and the music got me moving as well. You’re right, Deb, it looks pretty easy. Despite that, I’m sure there are many of us who may still need your help if we decided to use this software.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment, Yvonne.
I do have a lot of clients contact me for things such as this. Usually it’s because they don’t have the time to do it for themselves. Spending time on what you do best and what adds to income is the most important thing!
I’ve missed you since the challenge. Are you still active with that?

You’re welcome, Deb. I was in the last Ultimate Blog Challenge and I continue to post to my three blogs on a weekly basis.
It can be challenging but there’s no way to merge all three as they are different niches.
I haven’t done any research on the eCommerce site but I wondered if someone could incorporate that on a Facebook Business Page.

I tried to keep up a few times after the first two but just couldn’t find the time with one, let alone two or three!
You might be able to show the store on FB using iframes but sizing could be an issue.
There’s also FB tabs where you could add a store (not the same one) and link to your PayPal or merchant account.
Are you considering putting a store on your FB pages?
It is very promising. I think that it can be a good way to start a business.

Hey Deb,
Simple is right.
I do know some programming but to tell you the truth I would prefer not to, I mean who wouldn’t want to make their lives a little easier. I’m sure that many people will be able to use this information.
Thanks for the share!

I’m always wary of online store setups. I tried one myself with the Reviewazon plugin and it seemed after a while that Google just dropped all my page listings. Some people have said it is because Google detected the plugin. I don’t mind using a CMS for a store as long as people can find it consistently.

That looks super easy. Something I could even do! LOL. Now the question is, what do I set up a store to sell!?! Hmmm.

I wish you A very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!

Hello, Deb! I hope you had a great Christmas
Wow, Goodsie is great! The video has shown how easy it is to build an online store. I was carried away with the background music too. Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing it, Deb.
Happy New Year!

Is it as simple as it sounds? That would make money making so easy. Keep updating me with more such posts.

Goodsie does seem amazing! But I feel starting an ecommerce store is a long term project for most people. I think it is worth the effort to research and explore different possibilities. Be it oscommerce, zencart, cubecart or magento, it is definitely helpful to go with an established product.
I was helping my friend with an e-store. I found my perfect sweet spot with a Joomla – Virtuemart combo.

That sound really nice! I’m not a nerd so I am not into coding, but I want to be a real web-DIY-er. I haven’t heard about Goodsie yet, but it seems to me very nice and simple. Can’t wait to give it a try as soon as possible, thanks for the idea and the video-tutorial!
