Even since it was founded in 2006, Shopify has grown from an online store toolset to a multi-faceted ecommerce platform. Shopify is big enough to have an entire “ecosystem” of vendors, suppliers, customers, and more making money with Shopify in tech jargon.

There are three broad ways to make money with Shopify –

With a Shopify Store – the most obvious and typical way to make money.
With Shopify Merchants – the fastest growing and most lucrative way to make money.
With Shopify’s Platform – the most accessible and supported way to make money.

Within each of those is a specific, well-trodden path to make money both passively and actively. I’ve been working with Shopify since 2010 and have either done or consulted on every path.

Let’s get into it.

How To Advertise Your Website Online Effectively in 5 Steps

Updated February 14, 2021 By Nate Shivar

So you have a website and you are really anxious to get visitors to your site. You have three broad strategies to get some website traffic.

You can either –

Tell your network about it (ie, word of mouth, social media) – aka “earned media”
Try to be there when other people are asking about you (ie, search engine optimization) – aka “owned media”
Just advertise your website to people who might be interested – aka “paid media”

It’s that last one that we’ll look at . Website advertising is by far the fastest and most scalable right away, but it’s hard to do right – even if you have the budget.

Here’s how to advertise a website online effectively in 5 steps.

WordPress Hosting vs. Web Hosting Explained

Updated February 14, 2021 By Nate Shivar

Disclosure: ShivarWeb may receive a commission when you purchase from companies mentioned on this site. All data & opinions are based on our experience as customers or consultants to customers.

Choosing the best web hosting plan for your specific project has always been a bit confusing. Plan features never line up. Terminology never matches. And pricing varies according to current discounts and plan length.

But that was before the latest trend in web hosting – WordPress-specific hosting plans.

Nearly every hosting company offers a “WordPress Hosting Plan” in some form.

View my Purchasing Guide for WordPress Hosting

Sometimes those plans are nothing more than a headline change.

Sometimes they are very well-priced for the extra services. And sometimes they are plainly upsells with dressed up “features.”

It’s maddening – because here’s the thing. WordPress software runs fine on typical web hosting.

You do not need “WordPress Hosting” to run WordPress software.

All you need is a Linux-based hosting account that supports PHP and mySQL – aka plain vanilla shared web hosting.

Both are run of the mill features on even shared server plans since the early 2000s. So what is the difference between WordPress Hosting plans and Web Hosting plans?

Well – sometimes a WordPress-specific plan is absolutely worth paying for. WordPress does have some needs & requirements that are not “generic” so some companies can offer seriously better service, support & performance for WordPress installs.

Here’s how they differ along with features worth paying for, and what to look for when shopping for the right host for your specific project and next steps.

I have written about GoDaddy’s hosting product and compared their domains product, but I’ve never looked specifically at GoDaddy’s website builder product (aka “Websites + Marketing”) before this post.

My experience with GoDaddy’s website builder began back when I first started my web design business years and years ago. I didn’t actually use GoDaddy’s website builder for my projects until I came across it when a client of mine was using it and needed a few tasks done.

Since then, new competition has popped up from Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, Gator Website Builder, WordPress.com and other website builders. And GoDaddy has upgraded the website creation product I originally used. They’ve streamlined it to make it supposedly the “easiest way to get online.”

So for a personal project of mine, I decided to try it out again and see who the product would really be a good fit for – and not just compared to other hosted website builders.

I also wanted to compare GoDaddy’s website builder to other website solutions like hosting your own website or using a hosted eCommerce platform.
