Hello!

Welcome to the Shopifreaks E-commerce Newsletter. Thank you for subscribing.

My name is Paul Drecksler (add me on LinkedIn), and I launched Shopifreaks in Jan 2021 as a way to keep up with major happenings in e-commerce -- an exciting and rapidly evolving industry that's only just beginning to take shape.

My background is in online business development, which you can learn more about at IdeasFocused.com. I have spent the better part of the last two decades running my businesses remotely while traveling the world. (Currently writing you from 8,500 feet in the mountains of Cuenca, Ecuador.)

More importantly… who are you?
