Instructions
Step 1
Decide what exactly you want to sell. It is best to keep it interesting for you. For example, a tea lover should not sell coffee over the Internet. Consider the Internet audience: most of them are young people under 40.
Step 2
Research your potential competitors. There are probably already e-shops selling what you are going to sell. Particular attention should be paid to their sites and track which sites are selling better.
Step 3
Find suppliers of goods and conclude contracts with them for their supply. Find a storage room. It can be located anywhere, because clients will not come there. You can save money on renting a room.
Step 4
But on the site, i.e. The "face" of your store is not worth saving at all: a site with an inconvenient interface, a flashy design will not be popular with customers. Therefore, it is better to entrust its creation to a developer in whom you are one hundred percent confident. It is important that the site provides for all modern methods of payment for goods (through a bank card, electronic money, etc.). Create a user-friendly product catalog with detailed product descriptions.
Step 5
Organize a delivery service for the goods. To do this, you need two couriers. It is important that they are not only couriers, but at least some sellers. This is especially important if you sell clothes or shoes. Since she needs fitting, the courier must bring several models of the product and several sizes, even if only one is selected. The courier should, on occasion, be able to advise the desired model or size, offer a discount on subsequent purchases, etc.
Step 6
Constantly strive for a high ranking of your e-shop in search engines. Send mailings to clients, post banners, offer promotions and discounts. Otherwise, your store may go unnoticed.
Step 7
Don't forget to register your business - create a legal entity. This can be done at the tax office. Remember that a license is required to sell certain goods (for example, alcohol). It will need to be obtained from the territorial licensing authority.
