About this course
Ecommerce is rapidly growing to the point where it’s likely to overtake the revenue generated by brick and mortar stores in the near future. Over time, companies like Amazon, eBay and Etsy have managed to erode a lot of the uncertainty that the general public has felt toward buying products online, which means that more and more people are starting to take full advantage of what is an incredibly convenient, easy and cost-effective way to buy products. Buying online means that you can choose from products all around the world and that you can buy things much more cheaply seeing as the sellers don’t need to rent a store or pay lots of staff. But this is even better news for the sellers. If you open an online store, then you can sell to a completely global audience with very few overheads. There’s an extremely low barrier to entry, meaning that you don’t need to rent or buy your own premises or hire a team of staff. As we’ll see in fact, you need only a very small amount of initial capital to invest in inventory (thought here are ways you can do it without any) and this means there’s barely any risk. In the full Your Ecommerce Store ebook, we discuss all the different kinds of ecommerce store you can create, all the different types of business that stand to benefit from them and a range of different tools and platforms you can use to build, promote and grow your store.

From there, you’ll discover how you can populate that store with excellent products and encourage them to sell in higher quantities..
