Now is the time for you to start becoming self-employed. There is no better way to do it than opening your online store! Here are a few reasons why you should start right now!
COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are currently unemployed. If you have the extra time on your hands, now is the time to consider opening an online store, reselling products, and growing your online presence. Do your due diligence and research what is hot and what is not and get your website going today!
Starting An Online Presence Is Not Expensive
Your initial costs will be purchasing a domain name and purchasing hosting from a trusted hosting provider. Utilizing a content management system software, such as WordPress, will ease you into setting up your site, mainly because WordPress is a 1-click install application. You can then install shopping cart software add-ons called plugins that will help you to set your website up, and you can start entering your products. When you are ready, you can then add your credit card gateway and your off and selling.
Time
With recent events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have more time on your hands than you usually do. Why not put it to good use and help yourself by being self-employed. If you still work, you can always set aside time to set up your online business.
Home Business
Your home is now your business. If your online business starts to grow and you start to create or expand your inventory, you do not have to spend the extra money right away to have a separate location for a warehouse. Make room in your basement, or, set up a few bookshelves to place your inventory.
Marketing
Start by marketing on social media. Utilize everything free now and post regularly. Your followers will grow, and your sales will begin to grow.
Hours
Once your online presence is set up and going, your website is up and running 24/7. This means, even when you are sleeping, you could wake to see sales in your inbox. Remember, you do not have to be present for your sales transactions to occur. Even if you have a day job, you can come home to quickly getting your products shipped out.
Conclusion
If you have the time, why not help yourself by starting your online business today. Now is the time to become self-employed. By making these changes in your life today, it could make all the difference in your wallet tomorrow.
