START AN E-COMMERCE BUSINESS WITH ZERO EXPERIENCE:

THERE ARE 8 IMPORTANT STEPS:

·  CHOOSING YOUR BUSINESS MODEL:

The first step is for you to decide which business channel or model do you prefer. There are three basic business models to choose from. I will discuss the pros and cons of each one of them. Do some brainstorming, listen to your heart, and find out which business model is for you.

DROPSHIPPING:

Do you want to start your business with a minimal amount of investment? This one's for you. You can drop ship your orders meaning that, talk to supplier deal with them, place their products on your website. When you receive an order, the supplier will directly ship it to the customer.

Pros:

  • You get to save a lot of money
  • Less shipping cost
  • You do not need to hold the product in inventory or warehouse.

Cons:

  • No brand recognition
  • Cardboard packaging (no unboxing experience)

WHITE LABELLING:

Have you decided to spend your savings? Do you want to hold large warehouses and store goods? Are you wondering about rebranding products and selling them? There is no problem in doing so. Whatever you do, do it legally. You don't want to get in trouble with the law.

White labelling allows you to get hands-on thousands of goods from suppliers, rebrand them, package them under your brand label and you are set to go.

Pros

  • You get your brand.
  • You do not need to manufacture goods.

Cons:

  • You have to spend a lot of money
  • Double shipping costs (from supplier to warehouse and from warehouse to customer)

SINGLE PRODUCT:

In the third model, you can either manufacture your single product or can either buy from a supplier. The pros to this model are that you can spend more time on marketing a single product, targeting a single set of audiences which buys more time to work on business growth. Cons are that you need more money as compared to drop shipping but lesser money in terms of white labelling.

These are the three business models you can choose from. You can move ahead once you have worked on your business model. We recommend you start with drop shipping if you want to invest as minimal as possible. Dropshipping gives greater profit and requires less effort.

·  DECIDE YOUR NICHE:

We have seen many e-commerce stores struggling with their niche, we do not want you to be one of them. There are a few things that you need to know before you choose your product line. You do not want yourself to be stuck between dominant companies? It's better to choose a niche that has lesser dominant companies.

Secondly, do not choose a niche that has no competition at all, no competition means slow or no business. Choose niche has competition between small stores like the one you are about to set up. Avoid going into an overly crowded niche such as jewelry there are thousands of stores selling that. Do something that has demand and is not available everywhere (hard to find but we want you to test your luck)

Make sure you are choosing a niche that does well on social media as well, you cannot work well if your niche is not popular on social sites. Keywords are another important factor; your niche should have around 1000 keywords to use for better SEO.

·  PICK YOUR PRODUCTS:

Once you have decided on your business model and your niche, you must be very excited about the products you are about to sell. Think a lot before deciding, what you decide will represent your brand forever. Take time but not too much. People are waiting for you, pick products that are in demand simultaneously, trendy products may sell well at the start but once the hype is over your business will go down.

Choosing products that profit your business is a difficult task, do your research, and you'll find what suits your business. Try to work on a single product at the start, it will cost you less and will give you more room to explore your industry for better understanding. Once you have marked your footprints you can start working on many products at the same time.

·  TARGET YOUR AUDIENCE:

Another important point that you need to keep in mind during product selection is your targeted audience. You do not want to target only a few thousand people in the world. Choose products that can be used by everyone on a broader scale, choose products that are unisex for better marketing space.

Knowing your audience is the key, many people do not know who they selling to. You have to know the answer to the following three question

  • WHO are you?
  • WHAT do you sell?
  • To WHOM do you sell?

If you know the answer to this running your business is a piece of cake.

·  GIVE YOUR BRAND A NAME:

The next step is selecting a name or innovating one for your brand. Choose something easy to pronounce and spell, do not go beyond two to three words. People should remember your name (this brings them back to you)

Your brand name should be meaningful in describing your niche. If you cannot find anything catchy consider using brand name generators online. After getting your brand name work on your visuals, your business colors your logo. Decide colors based on your product, poor color choice drives away potential colors. Your brand representation can cost you a lot of customers if poorly represented.

Work on your logos, visuals, and colors with complete concentration OR contact our web designing company in Malaysia, we also help people in setting their businesses.

·  REGISTER YOUR BRAND:

Hosting an online business doesn't mean the laws don't apply to you. Get proper paperwork done, concern your nearby government office to get further information. Getting under the tax net will give benefits to you more than it will benefit the government (in terms of tax)

Get an employee's pin, your business license, and other permits required for you to proceed further towards your successful business career.

·  YOU ARE READY TO GO:

There are two steps left, get your online store and market it. These two steps are not very difficult if you have followed the guide throughout. Here's a shoutout to you! you reached the final step. Get your online store on Shopify, Wix, or amazon. Use your keywords properly on every page, ad, URL.

·  BUILDING AN ONLINE STORE:

There are many sites that you can use to create your e-commerce website, you can use Amazon or Alibaba. Many sites help you in starting your e-commerce business quickly and efficiently.

You have your brand name, developed your logo, and decided your colors. This is the time to execute your choices. After designing your store, the next step is managing the content. Your site should have a homepage, an about us page, and a contact page. Your meta description should be search engine optimized and so is your content.

·  MARKETING:

There are many strategies to market your product. Let's discuss few, sponsored content, pay-per-click or social media. You can use all of them too. The best way to market your brand is by email (few people consider it old-school but it's still the best way to market products)

The question arising is how can we get email addresses? The answer is simple to hold giveaways that ask for customer's email, a coupon that can be accessed once a customer adds their email address. Using these two tricks you can get many email addresses and then use them for future branding. Sending daily emails not for promoting products, add useful tips, interesting information, reviews, your blogs.

Email marketing is the best way to market products according to many studies.

These simple steps can lead you to the foundation of your brand. Your brand can even become one of the renowned brands in your areas or even the country. By following these steps, you can build your online store and start your e-commerce website with absolutely no experience required. What can be better than that?
