Stepping into the world of e-commerce...

July 30, 2021

It can be a bit scary stepping into the world of e-commerce....  But making money while you sleep, are out for dinner or away on holiday feels great!

Creating a website, advertising it, drawing people into it and getting it to the top of the search engines are all artforms in their own right so you must ensure to go carefully.

You'll need plenty of time and research to get these right.  Finding the right partner is key to getting all these right.  An e-commerce site can cost an arm and a leg, and can be a real problem to get the functionality right.  Once you have a website, Google Adwords can munch the pennies faster than you'd ever believe - and getting to the top of Google using SEO can also cost a small fortune.

But think logically, be sensible and work in a structured way and you will get there.

Figure out what's available to spend on driving sales as a portion of your profits and also work out how much you need to spend on average to get one sale.  Note that ratio, find the right delivery partners, set a baseline you are happy with and then increase the spend  -then watch the sales come in.

Whatever you do, get advice and ask friends to help you find partners you can trust and don't be fooled!
