00:05:00 In this section of the podcast, the host discusses how AI is transforming Shopify dropshipping and ecommerce businesses. He explains that having a clear direction and strategy is crucial for success, and AI can assist in content generation, keyword research, and topic gap analysis. However, he emphasises that AI should not replace human personalisation and creative input. Michael has found success using tools like SemRush, Gap Analysis, and AI language models like Fluid, Bard, or Chat, GPU, to generate ideas and structure around specific topics. However, he advises businesses to use these tools to enhance their processes, not rely solely on AI.

00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the use of AI in Shopify dropshipping, specifically as it relates to inventory management and marketing. AI inventory management apps can update inventory in the click of a finger, removing the need for a human element to the business. AI can also be used for attribution tracking, which can provide valuable insights into where sales came from and allow businesses to deploy more resources back into those channels. Additionally, AI can be used to create better product descriptions, upload product images, write customer service responses, and even suggest marketing campaigns. However, it is important to note that AI should not be relied upon entirely, as it cannot build relationships or replace the fundamentals of good quality suppliers and products.

00:15:00 In this section of the podcast episode, the host discusses how AI-powered tools can automate and streamline various tasks for online businesses. One such tool is BROWSE.AI, which can notify the owner's VAs of any changes in stock and prices of products offered by suppliers. AI systems, such as Google Bards and ChatGPT, can also assist in content creation, as well as provide business advice and coaching. AI-enabled features that Shopify offers, such as its email marketing assistant, can help entrepreneurs make informed decisions about their business by generating reports on areas such as geographical customer demographics, conversion rates, and product layout. These tools can save time for entrepreneurs and allow them to focus on strategic planning and decision-making. The host also mentions the dangers of blindly relying on these tools without proper context and strategy, emphasising the importance of steering the business in the right direction.

00:20:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the power of using AI in the business world, with a focus on its potential to transform dropshipping. They note that the initial reaction to AI may have been to view it as a tool to automate repetitive and manual tasks, but they argue that AI can also help with business strategies, giving high-level insights, and even replacing skilled roles. The speaker emphasises that AI can fill gaps within a business that can be identified as opportunities for optimisation, rather than being an all-encompassing solution. They also address the concern that some people may have about the amount of time and effort required to start a dropshipping business, but suggest that AI can reduce this time and effort, allowing individuals to focus on higher-level tasks. The speaker notes that AI is becoming more accessible and user-friendly, with many free tools available. They emphasise that the key to success with AI is not about accessing the tools, but rather about effectively using them. The speaker expresses their view that the acceptance and widespread use of AI will be a fundamental shift in how businesses operate, and that it is important to capitalise on this emerging technology. The speaker also highlights the notion that ultimately, the winners in this new era of business will be those who know how to use AI effectively and can steer their businesses in the right direction.

00:30:00 In this section, the speaker addresses a question from a listener named Aaron who wants to know about the next steps to take before working with suppliers. Lewis explains that the first step is to launch an online store and get set up with a bank account. He then goes on to explain that the laws and regulations on VAT (Value Added Tax) and self-assessment can vary depending on the turnover of the business. Aaron asked whether he should register his businesses for VAT and self-assessment, and Louis explains that he personally didn't register his businesses for VAT until he reached the turnover limit, which is 85,000 pounds in the UK. He also explains that he registered for self-assessment after he started taking dividends from his company, usually after about 12 months. He recommends that Aaron seek professional financial advice for specific advice related to his personal situation.
