    Check how long its taking time to load. If its taking more time to loading, then you should move to cloud hosting, depending on hoe many visitors are coming?
    topcloudhost.blogspot.in is nice t o study about cloud technology.

    I would advice to read some guides on web promotion first. Then to create some viral content in social networks about your store. And spend some time promoting it in specialised forums.

    1. List your store on amazon and ebay. For a start, you must be concerned about building the brand name and reputations so that will help.

    2. Make sure you let your friends know about your site, their feedback and network would make a head start

    3. Pin your products on Pintrest. One great place where women are looking for something to shop.

    Your main goal at this point should be getting traffic. Guest posting is a really helpful tool for this. If you just email a relevant blog with a post idea (or a post already written) they'll usually put it up with a link to your site. Also make sure find the keywords you're targeting in google with the keyword tool and put them into your site design. Keywords are super important. just don't overdo SEO or google might penalize you.

    Before you start a promotion, make sure you didn't make common mistakes for E-commerce, which can influence your marketing negatively. They are:

    • absence of product reviews

    • poor description of the product

    • unsatisfied customer service

    • hiding contact information

    • complicated check-out process

    • inappropriate shopping cart design

    I think it's not so difficult to avoid them in order to get better results.

    Google ad words can be an expensive proposition.

    Content is king, so why not write some original articles about each of your products and either create a blogging section on your site, or create a separate blog and link it to your ecommerce site when describing the qualities and benefits of your products?

    If you haven't done so, you could also create a facebook page promoting your product and a Google + page also. It will take some hard work and time to gain organic traction, but such a strategy could eventually bring the visitors you seek to your site.

    Did you add a live chat software with your E-commerce website?
    A live chat software helps you connect with your customers and it helps create a good relationship with your customers.
    I personally prefer the WebGreeter by LiveAdmins LLC. The multilingual software helps you communicate with your customers in different languages as of your demand.

    One of the very best ways to market your website is through what's known as content marketing.

    I'll let you know right off the bat, you're going to want to invest in some of this. Doing so, though, will help you get the results you're looking for, in terms of building your business. Gonna have to spend money to make money, and all that.

    So. Content marketing.

    First off, start a blog. Make sure it's attached to your webiste. This helps you out in a few important ways:
    - It helps you in a huge way with search rankings. If you're publishing high-quality content to your blog on a regular basis, the search engines will notice this, and you'll rank higher for your desired keywords.
    - It will also help build trust and authority around the web. To do this, though, it's VERY important that you make sure to curate and create content that serves your audience, not your business. Don't blog about your website and your inventory, exclusively. For example: if you sell outdoor gear, publish a blog that someone who's interested in the outdoors would want to read. Someone who would fit within your target audience. So, your blog could have articles like "The 10 Best Novice Trails in North America," or "5 of the Easiest & Quickest Outdoor Snacks." Of course, it doesn't all have to be list-based content like that - you can really get creative, and go as far as you're able with your blog. The more it resembles a pro-quality publication, the better it serves as a marketing asset to your site.

    Once you've got your blog set up, run a social campaign surrounding it. Use every social channel that you're able to -- in the case of our hypothetical example, there, you could conceivably use every single channel, from Twitter to Pinterest to Instagram, and beyond -- to really create an immersive experience that is able to pull in new and existing customers from every corner of the web.

    Hope this helps!

    You should try some tactics from AliDropship blog, i think. Instagram shoutouts (i can share with you the case study - https://alidropship.com/how-to-promote-a-dropshipping-store-on-instagram/, so it must be clear to understand how it works), or try promote your webstore via Facebook (using special plugin, here is case study for you - https://alidropship.com/how-to-promote-a-dropshipping-store-on-social-media/)

    Always the next best thing after making the site is to promote it. Promote it heavily. Make it known to people. Having a site is nice, but it's not much if not too many people know it. Mention it on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, etc. Have it known in your neighborhood. Talk about it with your friends. Make it known, and then people will come and notice. Then promote the products after that. Once the site is quite known, let people know what you have to offer. Bottomline it's all about promoting. Make it known, and people will be there.
