How to create a new store with AI

FreshStore's AI features let you create a fully populated affiliate store in minutes. Instead of manually adding products, writing articles, and creating categories, AI handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on choosing your niche and customising your store.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose your niche

Before creating your store, decide what niche you want to focus on. Your niche determines what products AI will add and what content it will create.

If you haven't chosen a niche yet, check out the Profit Playbook's niche research guides:

2. Create a new store

Go to the Create a Store section in your account. You will be asked to enter:

• Store name. Choose a name that reflects your niche. You can change this later.
• Domain. Pick a vanity domain to get started quickly, or use your own custom domain if you have one.
• Niche. Describe your niche so AI knows what kind of content and products to create.

3. Choose an Instant Store (optional)

FreshStore includes a library of pre-built Instant Stores in popular niches. If one matches your niche, you can use it as a starting point. AI will make the content unique for you.

If none of the Instant Stores fit, start with a blank store and let AI build it from your niche description.

4. Let AI do the work

Once your store is created, AI will automatically generate:

• Categories. Organised product categories relevant to your niche.
• Products. Affiliate products from Amazon, eBay, and other supported merchants, complete with AI-written descriptions, titles, and feature lists.
• Articles. Original articles about topics in your niche to help attract search engine traffic.
• Meta tags. SEO-optimised titles and descriptions for every page.
• Essential pages. An About Us page, Contact page, and newsletter section.

This process takes just a few minutes. You can watch it happen in real time from your store dashboard.

5. Review and customise

AI gives you a strong starting point, but you should review and personalise your store before launching:

• Check your content. Read through the articles and product descriptions. Edit anything that doesn't sound right or add your own knowledge and perspective.
• Customise your design. Choose a colour scheme, upload a logo, and adjust your homepage layout.
• Add your affiliate tracking IDs. This is essential. Without your tracking IDs, you won't earn commissions on sales.
• Review your categories. Make sure the categories make sense and are well-organised for your visitors.

6. Follow the Launch Plan

Every new store comes with a built-in Launch Plan in your store dashboard. This is a step-by-step checklist that walks you through everything you need to do before and after going live.

What to Do After Launching

Once your store is live, focus on these next steps:

1. Open your affiliate accounts. Make sure you have active accounts with Amazon, eBay, and any other merchants you want to promote.
2. Add your store to Google. Submit your store to Google Search Console so it gets indexed.
3. Start creating content. Add new articles regularly to attract more search traffic.
4. Share on social media. Promote your store and content on relevant social platforms.
