I am a college student who is looking to set up an online store through e-commerce. |
I would like to start an online business based on e-commerce, of course, where I would be selling supplies such as stationary, or things that people find "cute" in general. Since I am obviously new to this, I do not know what steps to take next. My first idea was to buy stationary from Alibaba (in other words, I would be re-selling the stuff that I get from them) and to set up an online store on either Shopify or WordPress.If I do so, I would need to know about advertising on Google, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, and I would take me some time to do. I do not have any other people that want to become part of this, so had I wanted to advertise my products, I would have to hire a freelancer to do such stuff and to manage my personal account, etc.A YouTube Channel/ Ad would be helpful, too. As of today, this is just an idea that I want to put into action, so I would really appreciate someone to help me out with this. What first steps should I take? How can I do good advertising? How can I be successful when it comes to this? Should I take any courses on this?
Those are my basic questions. |
