About Tutorial Stack
Tutorials and reviews you can actually trust
I’m Stepan. I run YouTube channels and this site teaching people how to use the tools I actually use to grow online businesses.
The short version
I’ve published 430+ tutorials covering Shopify tutorials, Semrush guides, web hosting reviews, VPN reviews, and other tools online businesses use. Across my channels, those videos have been watched 2 million+ times by 11,800+ subscribers and counting.
This site is where I write down what I’ve learned, document the online business tools I use, and share the best current deals I can find on each. If a tool’s on this site, I’ve used it or tested it. If a deal’s on this site, I’ve verified it’s currently live.

What I cover
Four categories where the tools genuinely matter for building an online business:
- Ecommerce & dropshipping — Shopify setup, product sourcing, store optimization, and the apps that actually move conversion.
- SEO & content — keyword research, competitor analysis, and the Semrush workflows I use weekly.
- Hosting & domains — Hostinger, Bluehost, Namecheap reviews and setup tutorials.
- Privacy & VPN — head-to-head comparisons of NordVPN, Surfshark, and ProtonVPN.
I deliberately don’t cover everything. The Tools page has 8 tools — every one is something I can defend.
How this site makes money
Affiliate commissions. When you sign up for a tool through one of my links, I get a small commission from the company — never from you. The price you pay is the same as going direct, and often better because affiliate partner deals frequently beat public pricing.
Commission rate never determines what’s recommended. Some of the lowest-commission tools on this site are the ones I push hardest because they’re genuinely the right call. The full breakdown is in my Affiliate Disclosure.
How I try to keep reviews useful
Most review sites rank tools by commission. Tutorial Stack is built around real workflows: screen-recorded tutorials, deal checks, pricing breakdowns, and practical comparisons. If you want the short list, go to Tools. If you want the full research, use the topical hubs for Shopify, Semrush, WordPress, hosting, and VPNs.
