Interested in setting up an online store for free? Ebay Prostores is an ideal ecommerce solution for someone just interested in testing the waters before committing themselves to becoming a full-fledged online business merchant. Whether you have already been selling at ebay auctions or are just new to this online selling business, you get the opportunity to sign up for a free 30 days trial.
Here are the things that you would need to have as you begin setting up your online store or business.
1. Electronic Product
You might want to opt for selling an entirely electronic or digital product. It could be an e-book, an audio or video file or a piece of software, which could be electronically delivered to clients. Selling such products would no longer require any additional production, inventory and shipping costs.
2. E-mail List
Having a good list of potential clients who have chosen to receive business newsletter from your company, then you would also have a fairly good potential to make as much money as you want. By giving away free newsletters, you are able to build trust and you would have the ability to advertise your products.
3. Auto-responder
This software would let you send out huge amounts of e-mail messages to prospective clients who have requested to receive your free newsletter. It would enable you to reach people every day as you give product information through your newsletter.
4. Auto-responder Advertisements
Along with your auto-responder, you would be able to set up advertisements a lot of time in advance. Research suggest that a persons needs to see your brand at least 7 times to recognize it. With automated advertisements your auto-responder sends, you would be able to achieve brand awareness in no time.
5. Sales Page
You would need to convince clients to opt to purchase your products. And since you do not have the ability to pitch to them your products, a sales page could do the trick.
6. Branded Giveaway
Giving away something valuable for free would serve as a great advertisement for your online business.
7. Affiliate Accounts
You could always go for selling the products of someone else if you do not have your own to sell. This is affiliate marketing.
8. Tracking Software
This would enable you to track all your marketing efforts and focus on the strategies that work and toss the ones that do not.
9. Paypal or a Merchant Account
If you only have one product to sell, Paypal could work; but if you have various products, you would probably need to get a merchant account.
10. Get help
Everybody needs help. Nobody can succeed without any guidance or assistance from those who know more.
