To create an e-commerce you need planning, initial investment, time on your part, passion, and by following these tips to build your e-commerce business it will be easier.
Tip 1 Create a website that would be able to come to the heart of the customer
The website is the first interface between the customer and seller; you have to design a website for the customers and think like one. Mike Schmidt in mowhawkstreet.com, said: “the creation of an “emotional connection is often the driving force behind these sites, but also the driving force behind most marketing.” With this affirmation, we can conclude that is important to design a website that would be able to come to the heart and not the mind of your customer. But how can you do that? The website has to be harmonious – nice to look at (colour, space, text, a hierarchy in the content) and give a positive experience.
Tip 2 Website has to be organized
The website has to be organized; it has to have photos (good resolution) and some videos. The videos have to be short, get to the point of your message as fast as you can, thus the content must be concrete and give the right message to the current and potential customers.
Tip 3 Choose the platform
Choose a good platform to e-commerce. A bad platform can be catastrophic for you; you can lose the customers because of it. Here are some platforms that could be useful:
- https://magento.com/
- 3dcart.com

Social marketing. I recommend not to have profiles in all social media, choose two or three that can be better with your business and connect with the objective market. You aim to have followers and fans that feel part of your values and share your product o mark comments about your product. And also buy.
