The first thing, however, is to set your business up with a strong foundation.
Have a User-Friendly Website

- Make your site easy to navigate in order to entice potential buyers to stick around and make a purchase
- Display and describe your products in a way that helps visitors and search engines by using keywords throughout your site
- Use your About Us page to define your site’s purpose
To sell online—and look professional at the same time—your site should have a clean design. Furthermore, it needs to be glitch free with an intuitive flow.
Make the Checkout Process Simple

That’s because you could have the best website in the world that’s easy to navigate and very well designed. And you might even have professional-grade product photos and spot on descriptions.

And that, after all, is any professional seller’s true goal.
