How to make money with e-shop
E-shop. What is it and how to earn money with it?
Nowadays the Internet has become so popular that we can not imagine our life without it. We use the Internet wherever we can: at home, at work, at school or university, in the subway or in a cafe. Recent years increasingly gaining widespread popularity of Internet sales, and in particular online shops. What is the online shop? Online shop it's the website that sells goods on the Internet. By accessing the site of online shop, visitors have the opportunity to view the item (product gallery, description, reviews, price, availability of goods in the shop and etc.).
Product from the catalog, the buyer adds to cart by clicking the mouse, and then pay for the goods. After payment, the seller should send the goods in time to the buyer.
The concept is simple and I am sure you have often used the services of online shops.
The question is, how can we earn with online store?
There are 2 options that we will discuss below.
1) Participation in the affiliate program.
2) Developing your own online shop and selling its products.
Let's look at both.
1. Affiliate Program
In my post about earnings on affiliate programs, I told about the general principle of how affiliate programs work.
Now we can consider earnings on affiliate program on a real example. Take for example the Amazon.com and consider how to earn money with Amazon affiliate program.
2. Development of own e-shop.
Development of own e-shop is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. If you do not have programming skills, you can develop it using any online platforms. There a lot of such platform, which give us possibility to create e-shop without any difficulties.
If you decided to create e-shop, the first thing to do is choose a niche. A niche you should define yourself.
How to make a right choice? Firstly, a niche should you like and be familiar. If you are a sportsman or just interested in sports, then maybe you should think about the opening of e-shop of sport goods. If you are related to technology and have always loved the different gadgets or devices, you can sell a variety of electronic gadgets, mobile phones and etc. It is important that you really like the subject of your e-shop, otherwise your idea is doomed to failure. After you have decided on a subject, you should do market analysis. If you plan to promote locally, for example only in your city, state, it is necessary to learn a local market. If you plan to do an international business, you need to learn the market not only locally, but more widely.
How to make a market analysis? It is very simple. Let's suppose you decide to make your e-shop of sport goods, oriented on your region (assuming California). Search in Google how many of such e-shops in the state of California. If you find many e-shop with such niche as yours and they are quite popular, then I advice think very well, whether or not to open an e-shop. How do you think, can you compete with them? Do you have enough finances? If you have limited budget and you are not confident in own abilities, you might want to choose a different theme, where competitiveness is much lower. You can also make e-shop on highly specialized niche. For example, if you are interested in football, you can open the internet shop and sell only football sporting equipment. The more high specialized niche, the more likely that competition there below. Scared? =) No one said it would be easy, but do not despair =) Come on. Once you have made a niche market analysis, you need to think about where to find the vendors. How to find vendors? Use Google :) Just write a query, such as "vendors of football equipments". Visit the vendors' website, find a contact. Then write or call, and begin to communicate. You can buy the goods both wholesale and retail. It all depends on what you need and how you arrange with the vendors. Buying goods from local vendors is not so cheap, so if you have a limited budget, I personally advice you to order goods from China.
How to do that? Everything is quite simple. Probably many of you have heard about online store ALIEXPRESS. This is one of the largest online stores, which in turn is one of the largest vendors. ALIEXPRESS offers the widest range of products by low prices. You can order both wholesale and retail. I advise you to order goods there, since a limited budget, this is a very good variant. I can also suggest to you to order goods on Ebay. Ebay is the largest online store in the world with a huge range of goods. Once you have decided on a supplier, you can create an online store itself. What engine will you choose? If you have skills in programming and website development, I suggest that you to use such as engines as magento or opencart. This is a fairly popular search engines, which gives to developers quite good opportunity to create modern e-shops with strong functionality.
If you do not have experience in programming, I advise you to use such online e-shop builder as shopify.com. The last step is a promotion of your site. Online shop is the same as a usual website. Therefore the methods of promotion are not very different from simpe site. The first think you need to do is to make optimization. How to do that you can read here. Once complete all steps, you can start promotion.
Hope this information was a little helpful for you.
