How to start selling online

You’ve got an established website that seems to be bringing in a reasonable amount of leads for you and now you would like to start selling some of your products online. How can you go about it?
Here are a couple of principles to adhere to in this situation:
  • Try not to disturb your existing website if it’s doing OK. So any eCommerce solution should be an add-on to your existing site not a complete replacement.
  • implement your inline shop in stages so that you can test the waters and get your business processes sorted to handle the physical aspects of selling online – packaging and shipping for example.
  • It’s a good idea to start with a simple PayPal shop to sell a few product lines before moving to a full-blown eCommerce platform.
  • You will obviously have to take payments online. PayPal is an excellent way to do this for small businesses starting out in eCommerce.
