How to start an e-commerce business #ad
You are probably familiar with the term e-commerce, which refers to selling physical (or downloadable) products online, using an online store, a site that usually has many products for sale. This might be a book store, a kitchen gadget store, a tractor parts store, etc.
There are many physical stores that have an associated online store, such as Walmart.com or Sears.com, but the best-known e-commerce store is entirely online, Amazon.com.
Amazon has made it easy for beginning online marketers to start their own store by filling it with products from Amazon. You sell them, Amazon ships them and then you get a percent of the profit.
This process gives you all the benefits of e-commerce with none of the hassles.
Your only two questions are (1) what kind of products do you want to sell in your store (whatever you choose, you can probably get it from Amazon) and (2) how do you get a store set up to start taking orders?
There are many ways to set up an online store; some easy, some hard. Starting from scratch is hard; finding a tested method that is quick to install and set up is probably the easiest way of all.
At the current time, the best tested store building tool appears to be Fresh Store Builder v. 7. It was first created in 2013 and has been refined and improved over the last three years.
Version 7 is now available for a limited time for a one-time fee. After that, it will be available only for an ongoing monthly payment. In fact, Carey Baird, the creator, says that his grand opening sale for Version 7 ends this weekend (Monday morning). You need to check it out before it goes to a monthly fee.
You can set up your store to sell any type of product you like. You can set up the color scheme and format of the store to suit your needs. You can even build your own custom templates and designs to give you a totally unique brand.
You can connect your store with Pinterest so that a picture (a pin) on Pinterest can be clicked to take people to an item in your store. Let your pins show products and automatically sync the prices, the titles and the images. This way, they are updated every time Amazon changes.
Your store has a search capability so people can look for the product they want. This search automatically shows products from Amazon that match the search term, even if you haven’t added these products to your store. This increases your sales. People can always find what they want, so you never miss out on a sale.
You can either choose the products in your store yourself, or you can pick a category, add a keyword, and let Fresh Store Builder v. 7 find the best Amazon products to fill your store automatically.
This is certainly the easiest way to get started in e-commerce. Fresh Store Builder v. 7 gives you 3 options for your e-commerce empire:
1. Invest in a license for a single store. If you want to grow bigger later, you can get the additional stores for a monthly rental fee.
2. Invest in a multi-store license that lets you build as many stores as you like. The one-time fee is less than $10 more.
3. If you want to build stores and sell them to other people, you can invest in a “developer’s license” that lets you build, use and sell as many stores as you like.
But all three one-time fee possibilites are vanishing Monday. The software will still be just as good, but it will cost you a lot more.
Quickly, go here to get all the information here and then get your own copy before it’s too late: Fresh Store Builder v. 7.
