Get ready to sell online

Whether you’re a small business owner or a new entrepreneur, here’s how you start selling and grow your business.

1. Find your products

Deciding what you want to sell will tell you who your target audience will be, how to style your brand identity, and where to market your business. Make sure to find a niche that is not too competitive and offers decent profit margins.

2. Secure your domain

A domain name is the URL that appears in the address bar when someone visits your eCommerce store. You can use Zyro to find your desired domain and purchase it. If you already have a domain name, you can use it with a Zyro website too.

3. Create your online store

Once you've secured your domain, it's time to create your eCommerce store. There are two stages to this: creating the website that will host your store and creating the online store that will process sales.

4. Choose your payment and shipping methods

Payment and shipping are not the most exciting aspects of selling online, but they're two of the most important ones. When choosing your shipping and billing options, you need to find a balance between speed and convenience, as well as security.

5. Launch and market your online store

Once you've got your website, store, and goods online, you're ready to start selling. Don’t forget to market your brand around the web to attract traffic. You can do it via search engine optimization, social media ads, Google ads, or other channels.

6. Optimize your website for sales

Whatever you sell online, you want to grow your business at a steady pace. It's important that you check the performance of your store and optimize your website and ads regularly.

More than just a store

While creating an eCommerce website is the foundation of selling online, you shouldn't limit yourself. Smart online sellers will use social media and online marketplaces to increase their reach and sell across platforms.

With Zyro's eCommerce tools, you're empowered to share and sell your items where your customers already are.

SELL PRODUCTS ON FACEBOOK

As well as being a great place to market your brand and items, some social media networks also function as platforms for online selling.
With Zyro, you can automatically export products to Facebook, and create a mobile-friendly store on your Facebook business page.

SELLING PRODUCTS ON INSTAGRAM

You can also monetize your Instagram posts with products for sale from your store. Link them directly to your store and invite followers to buy on your store.
Since Instagram is a highly visual platform, it’s a great place to showcase the goods your online business has on offer.

SELL ON ONLINE MARKETPLACES

While it's great to have customers come and use your website, most online sales are made on established platforms like Amazon.
Zyro helps you export your products to these websites, and synchronize your inventory. This lets you sell your products online across multiple platforms.
