Hi there,
I am very interested in supplying/selling quality products such as personalized name pendants (.925 sterling silver), customized shirts, hoodies and other stuff related to garments. I am a newbie in online market, I don't know how to get started. I am not good in making online stores or ecommerce websites, I can get someone to make one but I won't be able to manage it, I wish someone could help me with it. I can provide screenshots of products and everything..... I believe in dealing in physical market that's why I have never tried online stores but now i guess this is time for me to introduce my products to overseas customers. I am here to learn how to do it professionally.
Thank you

      Running your own store froms scratch without a following or brand will be tough and expensive especially as you don't want to manage it. I would advise going the etsy/ebay route.

    Video marketing, Media buying, SEO etc are the easiest ways to drive targeted traffic to your landing page and get the sales.

    As Trinipirate said an esty and/or ebay store would probably be your best route.

    To be perfectly honest, I have no clue what you want answered. Are you saying you currently make these products? Do you sell them retail or wholesale? Do you want to sell wholesale or retail online? If wholesale, do you want to dropship?

    When you say "manage it", you mean keep up with the maintenance and updates? Easy, use a hosted solution where they do it all for low monthly fee. Can't manage it in, I don't have time? Hire someone. Can't afford to hire someone, well... None of us can help you then.

    Assuming you can answer all those questions, then we can probably give you a little better advice as to the route to go. All anyone right now is doing is talking out their hind side since they don't know what you really want to know or need.

    I would suggest selling on ebay first. Once you master that then graduate to your own e-store. It is very competitive out there so hope you have a business plan.

    I agree with the advice given by OnlineStoreHelp.

    Start on Etsy with a small amount of items and build from there. As you learn, you can add more items and eventually have a part time employee take over some of the tasks.

    Are your a wholesaler? If you are a wholesaler maybe you can try B2B sites.

    Not everyone is cut out for retail as not everyone is cut out for wholesale.
    As pointed out above, there's a ton of questions and possibilities that come to mind when some one ask a general question like yours.

    Give us a bit more info and you will get better guidance. You don't need to give specifics but more about your capabilities and goals. What do you mean by overseas? Where are you from?
    Have you have ever done anything with the internet? Do you have any web skills? And so on...
    Cheers

    Go with ebay, and also a website. Try to rank it for keywords and you will see sales.

    You need 2 things. Shopify and Facebook. Get your Shopify up and running with one of their templates, install lots of solid plugins to increase sales and then start driving tons of cheap traffic from Facebook Ads.
