Hello Everyone, I want to start a online retail business i have few question can senior member guide me how to start online retail business 1) How to find the good wholesaler for product. My friend own a shop i asked him for help in getting some good contact for the wholesaler but he keep making excuses 2) In ebay.in i don't see any trending tool how you guys get trends from ebay to decide which product to sell 3) Initially i'm planning to sell some cheap mobile phone on ebay.in is it good strategy if not please suggest at least one category where i should start
Trends trend baby, just check out the google trending tool. I'm sure you'll find leads on what to sell there.
To get good wholesaler you need connections. First you have to make little orders and get their trust. Then you can count on discounts. It's normal your friend don't want to talk about his wholesaler because it's his main key for makeing business. In ebay you will have to rival mostly by price.
It is not neccessary to buy wholesale, you just need to find a manufacturer or supplier who do dropships. Dropship means when customer buys from your ecom site you go to your supplier/manufacturer pay them and they ship product directly to your customer, in such case you do not need a lot of money upfront. You can start your business for very small ammount of money and grow it really fast and highly profitable, you just need to find a right product and do your marketing in right way.
Hi, have you figured out which ecommerce solution to use? If not, then do think about integration. If you are using or planning to use other webapps (CRM, accounting, email marketing solution), then I encourage you to have a closer look at Magento, Shopify and Bigcommerce, they have good integration options with other webapps. By saving time you save money. Please do share you thoughts on this. Mary Jane
The best way to think 1st what to sale. Find reliable whole selling website. and make one eshop based on wordpress. Use Woocommerce. Singup on any site which have good ranking and see if they are offering affiliate. If yes then singup and upload the product with your affilate link. Wordpress having a plugin with woocommerce. There you can add affiliate products. People add the product in the card and pay you. Its automatically place order to affiliate side. Thats a good idea
