Got questions?
Everything we get asked most often — from starting a store to how this blog makes money.
Getting started
Budget $44 total to go live: $29/month for Shopify plus $14 for a domain. Add $100–$200 for your first TikTok or Meta ads budget if you want paid traffic. With dropshipping, there’s $0 upfront inventory cost. Most beginners can launch for under $200.
No. Start as a sole trader or individual. Most regions let you sell online without formally registering until you hit consistent revenue (around $500/month). Register a business entity once you’re profitable — don’t over-engineer this early.
No code or design experience required. Shopify themes handle the design, drag-and-drop editors handle layout, and our tutorials walk you through every screen. If you can use Instagram, you can run a Shopify store.
With TikTok organic, 3–14 days. With SEO alone, 3–6 months. With paid ads, 5–10 days once they’re optimised. Most beginners who follow our roadmap make their first sale within 2–4 weeks of launch.
Our content
No. StoreMints runs on affiliate commissions from tools we’d recommend anyway. We never accept sponsorships to rank a product, and nothing on the site is pay-to-play.
Yes — every tutorial on the blog is free and will stay that way. The only paid product is the optional Launch Toolkit, a $37 bundle of templates and checklists.
