time to start an ecommerce journey. let’s think about everything I know this far…. and start making progress on building a new set of knowledge and skills.
firstly ecommerce is simply selling things online. im sure it gets more complex than that.
there are a few business models that I am already aware of. we have dropshipping, direct-to-consumer (d2c) shopify, amazon fba, tiktok shop are the methods that I am aware of.
dropshipping seems like the best start to learn without big upfront investment. maybe takes a while to learn the skills required (more on that later)
d2c would be starting a new brand and manufacturing a product that fulfills a new need. probably very expensive.
amazon fba seems like a way to start with a smaller amount of capital and build over time. appears to be a middleground of the two previous methods.
tiktok shop… no idea what that is at the moment.
