Shopify Zero to $10K Playbook

The day-by-day blueprint for launching a profitable Shopify store from scratch.

If you are a first-time ecommerce founder who wants a clear, step-by-step roadmap, this playbook gives you the exact daily actions used by real operators to go from zero revenue to your first $10K month in 70 days. No fluff, no guesswork—just the operator-level workflows that cover research, validation, sourcing, store build, launch, ads, and scale systems.
