The best way to enter the E-commerce space is through a method called Dropshipping.
What is dropshipping exactly?
A: Dropshipping is a type of retail fulfillment method for online stores, where instead of warehousing inventory, merchants purchase products from third-party suppliers as customers make orders. The products are then shipped directly to the consumer. This way, the seller doesn’t have to handle the product directly. (Mostly done via: Aliexpress)
What platform should you use?
A: There are now many different platforms (ie: WooCommerce, Magneto, BigCommerce to name a few) but the one I recommend the most is Shopify.
How to Start?
A: 1. Start by coming up with a niche (ie: Running Shoes, Pet Shop, Moto Shop ect..)
2. Then pick a name that has a .com domain available (Try and make it sound ‘Branded’ like ‘nambaxi’ or ‘rextos’ ect.. Instead of: “Joesawesomestore.com” ect..)
3. Find a few QUALITY products from within your niche on Aliexpress
4. Create a free Shopify account trial and start building your store and importing your products via DSers App on Shopify from Aliexpress.
How to Market?
A: The best method (since you most likely don’t already have a big following) is through paid advertising. My current recommended paid advertising platforms: Facebook/Instagram & TikTok. (More on that to come soon)
