How to sell products online

There are many steps involved in building an online store to start selling online. Don’t worry, because our team has written down the process of selling online into a few clear steps for you to follow.

★Choose what products to sell

This first step is crucial(至关重要的). It always helps to sell products online; perhaps even a product you create yourself. Give yourself the mindset that no one can sell those items better than you.

★Pick the right name

Although in theory, you can do business with any name, you want to pick one that includes the keywords of the products. For example, a name like Baker’s Mart if you happen to sell baking supplies online. Stay away from names which would be hard to remember.

★Build your online store’s website

Creating your online store’s website is critical to your success. For this, you have to choose an e-commerce solution that allows you to either build an entire website to sell online or to add a linkage to your existing website if you already have one.

★Select your shipping methods

Yet another thing to consider is how you will deliver your products to your customers. And while most online businesses offer free shipping, it’s recommended as you start out to use real-time rates(实时费用) calculated directly from your preferred shipping carrier. In this way, you can avoid any risk associated with losing money on orders by not charging your customers the correct shipping rates.

★Promote and market your online store

What good is having an online store if no one goes to it? From large to small online businesses, the key to getting your name “out there” is marketing. Learn more about how to market your online store by checking the full list of e-commerce marketing features.

★Grow your business

After your business takes off and starts selling online at an increased rate, you will have to process(处理) those orders and fulfill them as quickly as possible. This might not leave you enough time to provide your customers with excellent customer service.

When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What’s the best way to know it?

You may look up the new word in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation（发音）, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is? How to find it in the dictionary quickly?

First, you should know all the English words are in order. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D…That means, if there are two words “apple” and “banana”, “apple” will be before “banana”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth. For example, “bike” is before “bus”, “book” is before “boy”, etc.

The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you’ll use it well in your English study.
