Setting up an eCommerce shop will take you minutes with Shopify and Amazon Seller Central. It will take 10 to 20 hours doing it from a fresh Wordpress instance on a new hosting.

Who cares your first bikini shop is not great as long as you start selling quickly

A lot of wannabee eCommerce entrepreneur are wasting time

Too many people are reading all the available resources on how to set up an eCommerce, how to sell fast, how to hack the growth. They forget that for an entrepreneur, every single hour spend has to have an immediate effect on profit.

The key is to implement a number of products quickly. For that we use product generation tools on fresh Magento or WooCommerce instances. We add the statutory pages, we allow reviews, and we start hustling like Grant Cardone. Yes, the best advices you will get at start is from traditional salesmen.

Don’t take me wrong, every single eCommerce starter goes through doubts when sales are not starting to pick up. There are a lot of measures to put up for your boutique to start selling. NONE of them are easy tricks, they all require time and focus.

The main focus you should have when starting any selling business is to gather public reviews. Whatever the cost, keep in mind that the giveaways will lead to traction. It’s up to you to understand the high cost of acquiring new customers.

Don’t get eCommerce advice from someone who does not have at least 1 live online shop

Any dude who gives advice on eCommerce without running one is either a scammer or, at the best, weak in business. The only think he deserves is a slap in the face.

Don’t ever take any advice from anybody who does not walk the talk. Any good eCommerce pro must be already making sales with online shops. Ideally, he already owns a handful of them.

There are numerous of industry niches unexploited, especially in market outside UK and USA. There is no reason to fail, even with a little investment.

Ok, stop reading the internet and produce now.

No excuse Just produce — it’s meant for your online shop
