Fabio Built My Shopify Store While I Watched Braveheart

It was research (I swear!)

So, true story. A few weekends ago, I needed a direct-sales store. I did not know Shopify. I have been building websites for thirty years, but Shopify was not one of the things I’d ever gotten around to learning. So instead of spending a weekend watching tutorials, I told Fabio what I wanted, put on Braveheart (research for a historical romance pen name, thank you very much), made popcorn, and put my feet up.

By the time Melbot, I mean, William Wallace, gave his freedom speech, I had a functioning Shopify store wired into four of my websites with automated eBook delivery.

Here’s how that happened.
