Okey I have made an eCommerce site, what now ?

people say ‘ do what you love, love what you do’ and that’s exactly i am trying to do here, i have made a site with the products I know well, personally know the makers of the products, all are hand made and also had conversation with the FedEx guys for shipping options. But with my very limited budget and reach, can somebody tell me how i can make it successful ? How to see the first dot in my sales graph ? I have tried joint venture options, people are readily interested to invest in affiliate marketing but less interested in physical product selling as they involve lot of time and not instant on giving high profits ! So, now I have the site set up, some products added and ready to begin, but can anybody point me to the right direction, light up the torch ?
Answer #1
well, for starters , start advertising, twitter, facebook etc. Join up Forums that discuss your products and advertise there …. the more publicity your site has, the more potential customers , and that is done with advertising.
You can also advert on google etc … but never tried it. Best bet would be to make a facebook page with your company and products and spread the word via fb.
Answer #2
Advertise like crazy! That’s the way to do it. Look into AdWords and invest some money to make your site known…
Answer #3
Definitely agree with the suggestions so far. To add to the above, figure out what people in your product niche need to know more about. If you’re selling bikes, for example, start a blog that teaches bike enthusiasts how to buy the best bike, how to do repairs, etc. Become a trusted source of information in your niche and when someone is looking to buy you’ll be 1. higher in the search results and 2. trusted.
Good luck with your site.
