First of all, define your target audience: what's the country/region, what are they interested in, what social networks they use (e.g. which channels you will use for promotion).
Think REALLY carefully of the niche you're going to work with - what you will be selling, in other words. There's a bunch of criteria for choosing a niche - look up alidropship's guide on choosing the best dropshipping niche, for example

What happens when the trial expire? Do they delete your account? Do they ask for credit card details or something?

You have to start paying if you want to continue using Shopify. If not, your account and store will be disabled, until you pay.

Have you used Shopify? I see you're from Europe, I want to ask you something about Shopify Payments.

The best advice I can give you is to RESEARCH and PLAN over and over and over again. If you don't do enough planning you'll start something that was bound to fail from the beginning, and this will discourage you and destroy your motivation. I learned the hard way. I opened my first online store it was a total flop because I didn't do enough research and went with a niche that only I thought would be amazing. Turns out it was a really dumb niche. Took me a few months to get the balls to open my next store, which luckily was a lot more successful.

Don't rush!

Good luck

Can you share your first (dumb) niche? I'm really curious how dumb it is.
