How to Start Selling Your Products Online
The easy way to sell your products online without spending alot of money to do it.
If you are making or manufacturing products and are wanting to sell them online you have several options. You can sell them yourself by building a website or paying to have a website built for you or you can upload them to websites like Amazon.com, Etsy, Ebay, Shopify, Craigslist, and other similiar sites. Advertising in this way you will pay a small percentage for each sale. Some sites like Amazon have affiliate programs where people who already have established websites can and will advertise your products for you. Most website owners who use these services hand select products to sell on their website based on product reviews or verified customer comments. If you choose to sell your products yourself using your own website you will need a shopping cart and payment system in place. Most web hosts like weebly.com offer shopping carts and payments options making it easy for your customers to pay for items. Weebly.com will help you build your own website free of charge with video's, tutorials, and apps. You will need to pay for an upgrade to get the shopping cart and payment options. While you are building recognition for your products on your website you can sell them on Amazon and other sale sites unless you are wanting exclusivity to your products. Being exclusive and selling your products only on your website has it's perks but will most likely not bring you the sales that you need to make more money. Getting your product in view of the public where as many people as possible can see it is the best way to make more sales. See video and more below.
Getting Your Products Noticed
Deciding which way you will sell your product depends on how popular your brand is. If you are selling a new product with an unknown brand building your own website or having someone build it for you will help you gain recognition for your company name and products. For example, you may currently be selling your products, lets say you sell handmade jewelry and you have created a facebook page to advertise and sell your products but you are not making that many sales. You need more dependable exposure. If you have a website people can Google your business name or products. Potential customers Google everything these days. If they see your business facebook page and Google the name and see that you have a verified business website, they are more likely to purchase your products. If you do not have enough money to pay for the website upgrades you can refer your customers to your business facebook page to order and pay for products until you can afford an upgrade but you will not get very many sales from this method. Customer's feel more secure when they can quickly pay for a product on the website advertising it. This is when it can benefit you to utilize companies like Amazon to sell your products for you. Utilizing social networks to advertise your website and your products will gain you even more exposure. Keep in mind, the more people who see your products the more opportunities you have to make a sale.
