Creating an online store is quite simple. It is more difficult to make a profit from it. This article is not only about which platforms, software and tools you should use when starting your own business, it covers all the steps you should follow to open a successful online store from scratch in Ukraine. We suggest you familiarize yourself with 7 main points that you need to consider to start selling online.1. Choose the right products to sell
Finding a niche usually involves a little keyword research, so we recommend:
For example, it may turn out that the search query «buy guitar» has 150,000 queries per month, while the search query «buy ukulele» has only 800.If you find that there are already tons of extremely popular online stores selling «your» product, it may be time to consider selling something else.2. Determine where to get raw materialsWhen it comes to this choice, you have two main options:
The first option is to buy from a contractor you know when you individually can assess the quality of the delivery, and make sure that the products are manufactured in compliance with the standards. If you make your products, you are effectively a supplier.The second option is dropshipping. This is a method according to which you do not store what you sell, but receive the order, send it to the supplier, and he delivers the product to the customer (your online store is effectively an intermediary).3. Consider creating your online storeOnce you’ve identified your exclusive niche and market, and know where you’ll be restocking from, you need to think about working on opening an online store.

The website must work perfectly, regardless of the device from which the potential customer uses it.6. Optimize your portal for searchSEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a set of actions that help customers quickly find an online store on search engines. SEO is necessary for the success of any e-commerce project. It is worth using keyword research tools to find out what searches are performed for your type of product, and make sure that the site includes keywords in titles, descriptions, and URLs.7. Start attracting customers with online advertising If you have the budget, it’s worth running a few online ads to promote your online store’s products. A good starting point is Google Ads and Facebook ads, as well as PPC advertising.
