Hey Warrior forum. I have a start up and looking to explore other avenues for sales.

We do womens fashion and some mens stuff. I want to build long term the brand.


We are building our fanbase via facebook ads.

We also are growing out instagram.

Twitter is doing better and growing.

Email List is growing slowly.


I want to sell via amazon or other marketplaces to get faster cash as our brand will take some time. Any suggestions?

Should I Keep growing my domain or can I also in the mean time profit from other marketplaces traffic.

Is there anyone here that can honestly point me in the right direction.

    From my point of view, you should continue with your domain. Also, start selling on Amazon simultaneously. Once you get a grip on Amazon marketplace, try another marketplace with Amazon. It is called multichannel selling. Just you need to have multichannel software that can manage your inventory, order and can ingrate your all marketplaces and centrally manage by one single software.

    This is a great great decision to start with Amazon at the start, Though I prefer to start through Amazon and eBay together. Why choose these platforms at the start? This is because they are already established company and customers are already there. So you just have to list products and make sales.

    However, for clothing category, if you register with amazon, they will ask you to fill forms to get category approval. You have to supply all necessary information as they want. For eBay, you don't have to category approval, you may easily list. But they have some selling limit (eBay).

    Rather than a website, Amazon and eBay is the best option to start, I am not saying don't build any website, my point is if you create an website at the start of the business, it will make you slow. Once you have your website, it will take time to start getting traffic and you have to perform a lots of marketing tasks.

    I hope, these information will help you to decide where to start.
