One of the ways to make money online is to open an online store. At the same time, the most difficult thing is to decide on a product category so that demand is stable and trade is brisk. One of the possible options is to open an online store of agricultural products.
It is necessary
- - Domain name;
- - scripts, hosting;
- - registration on the web service;
- - price list for products;
- - logistic delivery scheme.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, come up with a domain name for the store. This should be a vivid, memorable name, and unique (that is, not repeated). Top-level domains (.com,.info,.net) are more stable in operation, but other domains have more options for free names.
Step 2
Select the option with which the online store will work. This can be the installation of software (scripts) on a purchased hosting, or registration on an already installed web service. In the first case, you will be the administrator of your store, you can reprogram it "for yourself". In the second option, you only need to register, and you can do it for free. If this is your first online store, it is better to choose a web service.
Step 3
Customize the design of your online farm products store. To do this, you can use standard templates or order an exclusive design project. However, if the efficiency of the store is important to you first of all, do not spend too much attention and money on this item.
Step 4
Create product catalogs. Navigation on the site should be as convenient as possible for the buyer. For example, you may have the following categories of goods: agricultural machinery, inventory, fertilizers and soil, planting material; garden furniture, etc. The buyer should have before his eyes a convenient search and filter by price, name, characteristics. Indicate contact numbers, address and other methods of communication on the site.
Step 5
Add the products you plan to sell to catalogs. It is most convenient to add them not one by one, but by importing them from an Excel file. Immediately decide on the possible suppliers from whom you can deliver the goods as soon as possible and add their assortment to the site. Pay special attention to the correct design of each product - preferably not only the full name, but also a photograph, brief characteristics and description.
Step 6
Take care of the organization of delivery and payment. If you are just starting to work in this area, you can deliver orders yourself, or negotiate with freight companies. If storage is available, the most popular items can be purchased in small quantities, but this will freeze funds. As the turnover of goods increases, you will be able to hire one or more employees.
Step 7
Pay attention to the advertising of your online store. Order a promotional article for the central page, place links to the store in places where potential buyers go. For example, links posted on forums of gardeners, farmers and livestock breeders can be effective.
