I used to regularly sell on eBay and in the process, learned a lot about selling online.
Rather than let this information go to waste (I no longer sell regularly online), I thought I’d list the following resources that I found most helpful in starting up an ecommerce business.
These resources are free or cost little and can be used to either complement your main business (e.g. sell dog supplies if you run a dog walking business) or start an ecommerce business as your main focus even if you don’t know where to start.
1. Ecommerce Product Sourcing
Okay, you have no idea of what to sell and wholesalers will not talk to you. No worries! Here are three product sourcing resources:
2. Product Research
Of course, you only want to carry products that sell well online. So, how do you determine this? Terapeak.com is a product research tool that can tell you if a given product sold well on Amazon and eBay, which also indicates it could sell well online in general.
3. Ecommerce Selling Tools
Cashie Commerce is a ecommerce selling tool add-on for various web publishing platforms, like WordPress. It enables websites to sell products online. It integrates with PayPal so that you can take payment whenever someone buys your product(s) online.
