New Site/Store - What next?

Spend some money on advertising. You won't need a massive budget, but because you have blog you should start producing content asap, when you post new articles tweet, share, or post the news on major social networks so you can gain a following. You could include banners advertising on other related blogs In your budget as well as contacting authority gaming sites and asking them if you can advertise or guest blog on their site.

get a writer to add to your blog (or you do it) , promote yourself for free on the social networks and on relevant forums like the user above me pointed out.. try out some ad campaigns too..

Have you looked at Fulfilment By Amazon (FBA)?

If you have a wholesale source and your products sell, you can eliminate all the packing, shipping, returns, etc. by letting Amazon handle all the sales.

Amazon will ship your products free, which is a big plus.

There are many threads on this forum that will provide insight on SEO, but a few questions to consider to get you started:

1. Have you created an XML sitemap (makes it easier for search engines to crawl your site)
2. Have you submitted your site to all the major search engines?
3. All pictures should have what is labeled as 'alternative text', which in effect is a description of the image that the search engines can interpret/read. Same thing goes for vides.
4. Do you have any form of analytics like Google Analytics installed on your site to track your site's performance?

As to how much text you should include on the blog article teasers, I've seen sites that successfully have displayed only headlines, and other sites that include a short teaser text from the article, which could encourage people to read more. I think it comes down to how compelling you can make your headlines. I think it also depends on amount and frequency of your posts, and how posts are displayed on the site. In your case, where you have posts only appearing in the left menu, headlines might be sufficient. When it comes down to it, the best way to find out is by testing and measuring if one method gets you more readers than the other.

This is where you should have posted:

eCommerce Sites, Wholesaling & Drop Shipping

The main Forum is not a all in one forum, there are forums that cater to specific topics...

You ask "What is the next step to increase page views?" - Well I strongly agree with the comment above that you should consider using Amazon's FBA along with the site you have already built. Amazon's huge amount of buyer traffic will always be greater than your site even if you do a great job of creating traffic with Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Think about this - over the last 24 hours how many buying customers went to Amazon looking for a product like yours? Did they see your products? Do you know how easy it is to set up an FBA account and send them a small amount of your inventory?

It sounds like you have an excellent source of the products so it seems like a no-brainer to me, at least give it a try.

If you plan on not having any inventory I hope you are certain that the product is always available for you to "go directly to the distributor to purchase the item and ship."

It seems like you may run the risk of the distributor being out of stock. Also if you get lots of orders, and hopefully you will, in seems like this method will be rather labor intensive. With FBA you make few shipments and later get lots of emails from Amazon indicating that you have made a sale.
