[1] Choose What Products to Sell Online. Generally, products sold online come in two broad categories — commoditized, or those essential, high demand, or popular goods and services, and niche products which are targeted to specific customer base.

You can further narrow down your product choices by considering those that solve customer problems, those close to your heart as being part of your hobby or interest, or those with branding and customization potentials.

[2] Find Suppliers for Your Products. It’s more challenging than what you first thought of. Before you get scammed by all those fake suppliers fishing around social media, do your thorough research.

Many online business models these days appear vague and covert. You think this or that offers supplies, but you end up buying online courses and memberships. That’s disappointing.

Do all the canvassing and verifying, both online and offline, before making transactions that involve money. You may also get recommendations from those who have already been in the niche or e-commerce industry for quite a long time. Try to make some friends.

If you want to do customized enamel pins business, you can choose GSJJ. They are a manufacturer of custom enamel pins, and you can design on their website for free. They have No Minimum Quantity, Factory Direct, Free Shipping, and Worry-free Returns. I believe you will have a very pleasant cooperation.

[3] Choose Your Online Selling Platform. As soon as you identify your products and find suppliers, consider which online platform will best suit your business needs and model.

Other online sellers even maintain stores, not just in one, but in various platforms — Facebook Marketplace, Lazada, Shopee, and Carousell. If you have some technical skills and additional startup funds, you may also try Shopify (premium account) and build your own online store or your own e-commerce website using WordPress.

[4] Build Your Online Store. You need some dedicated hours or days to make your online store fully operational. Most e-commerce platforms offer comprehensive tutorials, but getting a step ahead with your own research and readings makes things even easier.

With your laptop or smartphone, uploading catalogs and photos of your products has been as easy as one-two-three. Invest in good photos and complete product details to attract and get more customers informed.

[5] Reach Your Target Market. There is a fierce competition out there. As soon as you launch your online store, you should get a little aggressive by getting closer to your target market, your customers.

In other words, you should clearly identify who will be your future patrons. Do the market segmentation and reach them. You might consider reaching them through social media like Facebook and Instagram, or creating a page dedicated to your business.

[6] Start Marketing Your Products. Most startups make use of Facebook boost and other advertising channels to build the online presence of their business.

Marketing is a vital part of a business, and you should take it at least seriously, if not aggressively. It’s always acceptable to allot a certain startup fund for this in order to speed up your market reach.

[7] Close Deals and Manage Shipments. Your online selling business gets real when you receive your first order and close the deal. Having your online store just launched, you might consider as well giving away freebies or starting your selling price at a low profit margin.

Likewise, you should ensure that your shipping partners provide the best and fastest services in the market. You may not put the blame for delayed or problematic shipments on yourself, but other customers might do.

[8] Keep Your Customers Connected and Satisfied. Apart from all resources you invest in your online selling business, you should also invest in an excellent customer support.

Getting a one-star review or any negative feedback affects the buying decision of other prospective customers. Build a positive relationship with them and do something about those negative reviews.

[9] Expand Your Product Line and Grow Your Business. Let’s say, you start with limited products under a certain category, but you want to satisfy the online shopping experience of your patrons. You want them to stay and buy almost everything available.

Instead of pushing them away because you don’t have the products, listen and understand rather to what they really look for. Decide whether you can have the expansion of your business with additional product lines. Keep your business growing.
