Thx for your awesome replies. After finding a partner, whos product you are selling. What comes next? How do you market your ecommerce site? What are the actual steps?

I appreciate your answer!

The blog will run promotions, contests and product reviews. All of which will generate relevant, fresh content about your WIDGETS and your brand.

I don't get it , if I start selling products for a different brand. As soon as the product is popular on Amazon the manufacturer can cut my supply and start selling on it's own.

Why not go for private labeling and sell in your own brand name.

PS: I am trying to move from affiliate marketing to selling my own products.

Kurt,

When you get your license are you getting it in the store's URL name? My advice would be to get a generic sounding name like KURT STORES LLC. Because if you did Baseballbats.com as your license and then you found that Batpoop.com is a great niche, the suppliers will look at your baseballbats.com license funny vs. kurt stores llc. Know what I mean?

I had 3 eCommerce drop shipping stores, which I sold 2 months ago.

The problem I found was that the bank was asking for a website and other business information when I had opened a business account. I told them my 3 drop shipping websites. but told them that this could change any time if I wanted to quickly jump on a trend. This lead to me having to constantly update the Chamber of Commerce and my bank since the information regarding the type of products I sold was no longer accurate.

Let's take the example KURT STORES LLC., do you suggest making a website for KURT STORES where you discuss your website portfolio, values, contact information etc. or do you suggest to only launch websites for your actual stores (just batpoop.com and baseballbats.com)?

Also, people don't see invoices from batpoop.com after they bought bat poop, but they just see KURT STORES. which might confuse them. I see that other businesses do this. and sometimes this confuses me too.

I'm still heaving trouble to decide on the best structure for when I manage multiple ecommerce stores.

Thanks in advance.

Your first post you mention you will keep stock of products if they have a minimum order amount.
Where do you stock it?

I haven't contacted any supplier yet but I'm kind of worried none of them will dropship their goods if it's only 1 order from a customer. I don't have the money nor space to stock the products myself. Or do you let them stock it in their warehouse and then you have to pay a warehousing stocking fee?

I’m sorry but your post make absolutely no sense. Walmart and Best Buy?
