Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹

If you are new to online selling and want to start your own e-commerce business, this post is for you.

Starting an online store may look confusing, but don’t worry β€” here are the basics you need to know.

βœ… 1. Choose What You Want to Sell

You can sell:

  • Physical products (clothes, gadgets, home items)

  • Print-on-demand products (t-shirts, mugs, pillows)

  • Digital products (ebooks, templates)

Tip: Start with something simple and easy to manage.

βœ… 2. Pick an Easy Platform

Beginner-friendly platforms:

  • Shopify – easiest to start

  • Wix / Wix Studio – great for designing

  • Odoo – good if you want a full business system

  • WooCommerce – if you already use WordPress

Choose one and start setting up your store.

βœ… 3. Getting Visitors (Traffic)

Without visitors, no sales will happen.

Beginner traffic sources:

  • Social media (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest)

  • Posting helpful content

  • Sharing in groups

  • Running small ads later

Start with free traffic first.

βœ… 4. Make Your Product Pages Clear

A good product page should have:

  • Clean pictures

  • Short and simple description

  • Price + clear features

  • A visible β€œBuy Now” button

Don’t make it complicated.

βœ… 5. Keep Shipping Simple

If possible:

  • Choose fast shipping suppliers

  • Start with products that deliver quickly

  • Avoid too many products in the beginning
