In the past few days I've been so obsessed in finding helpful resources
on how to start a business online and I found a lot of good
opportunities to hopefully engage myself in. It's so nice to know that
we can now build one without having to go through a very tedious
process of operating our own business online.
Here are some examples:
1. Start Selling on eBay
eBay is not a new concept and you have probably heard of this more than
10 years ago. However, there are a lot of strategies you can implement
using this platform. You may run your online business on eBay by buying
used items from a garage sale, goodwill store near you, Savers. If
you're lucky you can ask your friends to sell their old stuff for a
profit.
I actually did this back in 2011 and honestly I am kinda regretting
right now. I could have been more patient and could have thought of
other ways to expand my business. Well, looking back I was generating
good income back then.
2. Build your own Online Store with Shopify
I am also considering this. I learned that there are a lot of
suppliers, most of them are located in China, that I can source my
products from. In just a few cents added to the item price, I can have
the supplier print the product with my own brand. Then, I can build my
own store and my own label via Shopify. I tried creating a dummy store
just to test the interface and so far the interface is sooo easy- even
if you're not tech savvy you should be able to build your store.
Just a tip, when building your own brand, make sure that you should be
able to promote your brand in multiple websites, especially in social
media platforms using the same name. You can check namecheckr.com to
see if a name is already taken. Of course, after we launch our brand,
we would want to promote them in either Facebook , twitter, and other
sites.
3. Create your own Youtube channel
If you're the the type of person who would like to be in front of the
camera all the time, you might as well use your hobby to build your
online business. Decide on what concept you would like to focus on your
channel. Then consistently, upload videos that could pick the interest
of a lot of people. Then, when you have already established a good
number of subscribers or if you now notice that your channel is creating
traction, you can probably sell items on your channel.
There's this one channel that my child is following . The only thing
she did was make reviews on toys and at the end of each video there are
merchandise posted for sale. I bet, aside from the amount of money she
gets from Youtube, she also gets a large amount from these goodies she's
selling.
Well these are just a few concepts you can probably consider. If by any
chance you get to read this post and you already have a business
online, please feel free to share your thoughts and best practices.
Hopefully soon I can put these words into reality.
