What Talking Shop delivers

Everything you need to know about learning the strategies that work.

What is Talking Shop?

Talking Shop is Shopify's free weekly newsletter for entrepreneurs at every stage. Here's how it works:

  • Still exploring ideas? You'll get inspiration, business ideas, and first steps.
  • Already selling? You'll get growth tactics and scaling strategies.
  • New themes every week, but with content matched to your journey.

What's in each edition?

Each edition focuses on one theme, such as pricing strategies, marketing tactics, or business ideas. You'll get:

  • Real founder stories showing how it's done.
  • Step-by-step guides you can follow.
  • Tactics matched to your stage.

What makes this different from other business newsletters?

Talking Shop is different in three key ways:

  1. Personalized to your stage: you only get what's relevant, nothing too advanced or too basic.
  2. Real entrepreneur stories: every tactic comes from someone who has done it.
  3. Founder-first approach: we know starting a business is hard (but rewarding) work, so we give you practical guidance that helps.
