I've always worked with Facebook and CPA, but now I want to get into eCommerce. I just don't know where to start exactly. I know that I want to start off selling urban clothing, but only a few products.

How should I go about finding suppliers? And what should my next steps be?

    I'm sure I could help you (pls see my signature link)

    Where are you based?
    You could look for suppliers locally or are you wanting to dropship or purchase from the far east?

    You need to start looking at your competitors and see how you can compete against them? What are you going to offer to make customers purchase from you?

  • you could build something like a magento store or a woocommerce/wordpress site and have the facebook app for your store, then you could have a) a store b) a facebook store and you could still use your CPA and Facebook experience to your advantage.

    Hi.. You can look on for retailers and open a site in magento. The combination works well on any products.

    I suggest you can start with Made in China products, which are cheap and convenient to purchase.

    If it were me, I would actually look at Spree Commerce. Their storefront product is flexible and customizable. You can tie in your FB and CPA capabilities as well. Then once you have the storefront in place, they have a new product called The Hub which does all your backend logistics, so you can continue maintaining an attractive storefront and drive revenue. The Hub allows you to integrate with 3rd party vendors seamlessly as well.

    It seems you want to start drop-shipping business, I would recommended Drop Ship Wholesale Products, Dropship Company, Dropshipping Suppliers where you could find supplier for any product you want to sell, You can sell those with ebay, amazon as well as on your own website.
