Who is the e-commerce course for, and can you start from scratch?
Yes, you can start from scratch. Our courses are built for people with no online selling experience: they begin with opening an account, setting up a payment system and listing your first product. No coding or design skills are needed; everything is shown on screen step by step.
- Students and young people — anyone who wants to learn to sell to foreign markets online.
- Working professionals — people who want to build an online business alongside their job; the video format lets you study in the evenings and at weekends.
- Entrepreneurs and manufacturers — those who want to sell their products abroad through eBay, Amazon or their own Shopify store.
- Existing sellers — sellers who want to open a new channel or strengthen their ads and brand.
If you are not sure which path suits you, the table and the selection guide below will help.

Which track should you start selling online with?
Your starting point depends on your budget and your goal. A quick selection guide:
- Small budget, first experience: the eBay course. eBay already has buyers, so you do not need a store or ad spend.
- Your own brand, growth through ads: the Shopify course. You build your own store and attract buyers with Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest ads.
- Ready to invest in inventory: see the training and consulting format on the Amazon FBA course page.
- Torn between eBay and Shopify: the dropshipping course page has a side-by-side comparison.
- Want one-to-one support: see the e-commerce mentorship page.
Many students gain marketplace experience on eBay first and then move to Shopify or Amazon. Our checklist how to choose an e-commerce course explains what to look for. Still unsure? Call us and we will choose together.

How do you start e-commerce from scratch in 4 steps?
The student path has four steps. How fast you move depends on your time, budget and product choice, so we do not promise exact timelines or income.
- Choose — tell us your goal and budget by phone or WhatsApp, and we choose the right course or service together.
- Foundations — set up your platform account and payment system and learn the rules.
- First product — research products and prepare your first listing or store.
- Sales and growth — manage orders, analyse results and add ads or a new platform when you are ready.
Testing several products on a small budget at the start is a normal part of the process, and the courses show how to do it. Mistakes are inevitable, but making them by the rules and on a small scale keeps the risk low. You can read what our students say on the testimonials page.
