How to Make an Online Store
By Riley SawyereHow Community Member
Ever wanted to sell your products online? Need a website, design, hosting etc? This article simplifies the process using QBaroo at QBaroo.com
Instructions
Step 1
Find an eCommerce host. The first step in making an eCommerce online store is finding a company that hosts online stores. There are many eCommerce hosts out there, but the company that is going to be talked about in this article is QBaroo LLC. Visit QBaroo's website, www.qbaroo.com, which is also listed at the bottom of this article, and click the "sign-up" link at the top.
Step 2
Look through the sign-up page. It outlines the various online store programs that you can choose from - retail, wholesale, fullfilment etc. Depending on whether or not you have an online merchant account/payment gateway, select the store model with the features you are desiring, which are outlined on QBaroo's sign-up page. Once you are ready, start the sign-up process and make your payments.
Step 3
Decide whether or not you want additional features besides the online store set-up. For example, do you need a website? Hosting? Graphic designing? A logo? Search engine optimization? etc. QBaroo happens to offer all of these (and actually offers everything you need to succed with an online store, which is why I chose to write this article using this company as an example). Search engine optimization, you may ask, is the process by which your website is optimized for the best visibility and acknowledgment by search engines. Doing so increases your rankings and improves traffic (that is, customers) to your online store.
Step 4
Correlate with the QBaroo.com staff about all the customizations you want done, as well as optional services. Once you are ready to begin listing your products, login to your online store. You will find easy-to-use tools that require no technical experience to list your products. You will also find tools to manage your inventory, etc. If you need assistance, QBaroo has 24/7 customer service available.
Step 5
Market your store! Once it is up and going with your products, the best thing to do is market it. You can market it many ways: word of mouth, blog posts, etc. If nothing else, I highly recommend you purchase QBaroo's SEO package. It seems quite expensive, but it generally turns around quite a bit of profit in the long run, because your sales increase.
Step 6
Enjoy your sales!
