Want to get started in eCommerce?

Starting out in eCommerce is both lucrative and daunting. There are lots of things to consider, and whether you are a new business, or an existing business looking to expand into the online sphere, it is hard to know where to start.

As well as hosting the eCommerce MasterPlan Podcast, Chloe is the host of the “Start Your Own Business Podcast” a podcast created by StartUpDonut and FSB that is totally focused on helping new businesses get started faster, and with less costs. You can find out more about that show here.

eCommerce Questions you need to answer

So you know eCommerce has many advantages, but how do you get started? There are lots of things to consider, including:

  • Who will you sell to?
  • What’s your niche?
  • Are you an online only retailer, bricks and clicks boutique, etc?
  • How are you going to market yourself?
  • What are the key pitfalls you need to avoid?
  • What is the quickest route to success?

These are questions that can be hard to answer by yourself, and even if you know the answer implementing the solution can be tricky.
