Articles

Imagine, for instance, having your professional sporting career cut short by an unfortunate injury. And to make matters worse, let’s say you hadn’t planned for such a disaster at all, and the country is already knee-deep in an economic recession.

Now, that’s the story of Lewis Howes, a football player who was extremely broke at one point in 2008. And yes, you’re right- he didn’t have any professional skills either. But, interestingly, his fortunes reportedly started changing quite drastically when he made $6,300 in one night.

How to Sell With the Shopify Lite Plan and Oberlo

Articles

Disclaimer:
Oberlo officially shut down on June 15, 2022. You can’t use Oberlo to import or fulfil products anymore. We recommend using DSers, which is an approved Shopify app for dropshipping and works as a direct alternative.

Also, keep in mind: the Shopify Lite plan has been replaced by the Shopify Starter Plan at $5 per month as of June 2022. New users can’t sign up for Shopify Lite and should use Shopify Starter to sell without a full online store. If you’re on the old Lite plan and switch, you can’t go back.

Building an online store used to be considered an extremely difficult task. Even today, you typically need some sort of development knowledge when working with most platforms. In addition, you have to make your own products and figure out a way to package and ship them. However, a combination of the Shopify Lite plan and Oberlo has made it so much easier on merchants.

In short, Shopify Lite provides online store tools at a reasonable price, while Oberlo connects you with thousands of suppliers willing to dropship your products to customers.

Teachable Review: My Verdict for 2025

Articles Ecommerce Reviews Online Courses

Quick answer: Teachable is an easy-to-use platform built for creators who want to sell online courses, coaching, or digital downloads.

It’s great for beginners and solo entrepreneurs but lacks advanced ecommerce tools. I’d recommend it if you're just starting out and need a streamlined way to launch and sell.

I’ve spent weeks testing Teachable for my own ecommerce business and comparing it to other platforms like Kajabi and Thinkific.

In this review, I’ll break down the real experience — from setting up my course to understanding where Teachable shines and where it falls short.
