8 Crucial Steps To Take Before Starting An Online Ecommerce Business (part1)

-
Are you ready and prepared to open a good online store? The only problem is you don’t know where to begin. Here are 8 steps that you should consider taking before starting an online Ecommerce business.

1. Research The Idea


Lots of entrepreneurs make the deadly flaw of advertising something that the consumers just do not want to purchase. Avoid this startup catch by researching the idea to ensure that it is solid.
  • Talk to family, friends, and others and let them know about your idea. Request for honest inputs about whether your products are something that they would like to buy.
  • Test the idea with any online focus group. You can have unknown users test your website, rate your products, and give helpful feedback by forming online focus groups. Look for companies to organize them.
  • Search secondary sources. Search the internet and have a look at your potential competitors’ websites. Determine what you’ll do better, as well as how you’ll show up in the huge crowd.

  • 2. Registering A Domain Name

    It is now time to register a domain name. You must think cautiously about the name that you select because it is a part of your own brand, and do not give up if the first few choices you make are taken already. If you cannot find an appropriate .com extension, then try among the newer extensions such as .co, .net or .biz. Next, select how long you wish to reserve that name — you can select from 1 to 10 years. Famous websites for registering the domain name include Namecheap.come, GoDaddy, Register.com. You can now register the name for just $10 a year.

    3. Finding a Web Host

    The web host rents online space to site owners, and this specific space houses the images and pages on your website. Most places which register domain names offer web hosting as well, but you can even use other websites that are dedicated specifically to helping you choose a web host. Companies such as bluehost and iPage offer free domain name register when you purchase their web hosting packages. Click this bluehost review or iPage review to see what else they have to offer. It is imperative that if you let your web host register the domain name, then they register it within your name. Or else, you don’t own it officially, and that can cause issues if you wish to switch hosts afterward. If you’ve any doubts regarding whether you’re the registered owner or not, utilize the whois tool to discover.

  • 4. Design Your Website

    You’ve two options when designing your website is considered. You can appoint a designer to make a custom website, or you may design and make the website yourself, which is one of the least costly options. In case you choose to create your own website, many web hosts provide free site building tools, and lower costs consulting service. You can even build your website using WordPress, which is a free blog and website platform that offers many plugins and themes to select from. First find a website host that supports WordPress, such as Hostmonster, Hostgator, BlueHost, iPage, JustHost, Fatcow and then download the WordPress software. Note down that you will need substantial and additional customization to allow for an e-commerce site to platform quickly.

Yes, it does get boring at times; but, it’s up to you to choose the right employer –  you can always work for yourself .
