Discuss about building a website and prompting product

[James777]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post in this great forum since I randomly found it half a year ago. First of all, many thanks to MJ, his book helps me a lot. Also I need to thank all in this forum,I read your posts and reply and give me chance to open my eyes.

Here is my situation:
I graduated from a college two years ago. BTW, I am not native American. I apology it If my English confuse you or I speak something improperly.
I works for a company but I have lots of free time to do personal things. I did some research about selling online and registered ebay and amazon eight month ago. Now my salary is around $85,000 and my own business monthly profit around $20,000. My girl friend is full time helper and another two part-time employee for packaging.
I have many product that are generic. It is hard to manage since more and more items coming in. I am wondering if I should focus on several product not that much and make more sales on these several product. It means 1000 product for 100 sales per day or 10 product for 100 sales per day. Meanwhile,my business rely on ebay and amaon too much,I know this is not fastlane model. That is why I post this thread, I would like to build my own website and brand.

Here are my plan and questions:
1.I will focus on few product of accessories for ladies.My girl friend manage my ebay and amazon, that means I do not get in more new product on my ebay and amazon.
2. How to build a website, shopify, wordpress or other platform. I know this part is not hard but I want to get more advice.
3. Prompting my product and website. This part is difficult for me due to my poor English and never learn marketing. I know some people use social media like tweet, instagram,facebook etc.Please recommend how to start or any books or articles I need to read.
4. How to brand my product. It is easy for me let my manufacture get my logo and brand on my product. But do I also need to apply this brand to some organization and verify my brand is unique.
5.Is that OK if my product look like other brand design accessory?

I am glad to answer your questions about importing and ebay selling.

Thanks my fastlaners again and Have a wonderful weekend.
