How to Start an Online Store Without a Budget

14 min read

The word “business” may deter some people because of common myths, like that starting a business requires blood, sweat, tears, and a whole lot of money to get a business off the ground. Našťastie, the world is changing. Opening your ideal store can be as easy as downloading simple software. Anyone with an idea and phone can start a business these days—and so can you.

Spoločnosti ako Ecwid by Lightspeed sú tu, aby pomohli ľuďom na celom svete otvoriť ziskové podniky len s nápadom, herný plán, a pár kliknutí na tlačidlo. Ste viac než schopní založiť si nový obchod, vrátane webovej stránky, sociálne médiá, a virtuálny marketing. Čítajte ďalej a dozviete sa viac.

Žiadne peniaze? Žiaden problém.

Niekedy, podnikateľské sny človeka sa nenaplnia kvôli mýtu, že na začatie podnikania potrebujete veľké množstvo peňazí. But the most important parts of starting a business are motivation and vision. If those two things aren’t there, even thousands of dollars won’t magically create a booming business.

Once you have your motivation and vision, money can be something you work around. Starting a small business doesn’t need anything more than a simple savings account and a dream.

V dnešnej dobe, aspiring entrepreneurs can start new online stores for much less upfront cost than their predecessors, who often had to get a physical store. Internetové obchody uľahčujú oslovenie potenciálnych zákazníkov a zároveň využívajú viaceré marketingové zdroje. Používanie rôznych platforiem, virtuálny marketing, a správne webové stránky elektronického obchodu môžu byť dokonalou kombináciou na spustenie internetového obchodu.

Prečo vytvoriť webovú stránku elektronického obchodu?

Založiť si vlastný obchod môže byť zo začiatku trochu zdrvujúce. Aby ste naozaj zistili, ako chcete viesť svoje podnikanie, musíte rozumieť svojmu obchodu a značke. To by mohlo znamenať predstavu, ako chcete, aby váš obchod vyzeral o rok, ako chceš, aby tvoj život vyzeral, a čo priťahuje potenciálnych zákazníkov. Dať si pohov, zatvor oči, a predstav si svoju budúcnosť. Čo vidíš?

Ak je váš podnikateľský nápad taký, že máte svoj vlastný rozvrh, mať pod kontrolou svoje vlastné produkty, a zdieľanie vašej značky s mnohými ľuďmi, otvorenie internetového obchodu môže byť práve to, čo potrebujete.

Ak radšej zaplatíte 5 čísla alebo viac v nájomnom, komunálne služby, a iné náklady kamennej predajne, potom všetkými prostriedkami, pokračovať. Ale aj s osobnou predajňou, získanie stránky elektronického obchodu môže byť kľúčom k úspechu.

Väčšia flexibilita pre vaše podnikanie

Len si spomeňte na poslednú vec, ktorú ste si kúpili. Existuje veľká šanca, že to bolo mimo internetu, správny? Teraz si predstavte, že máte svoje vlastné produkty rozložené na viacerých rôznych platformách, ľahko dostupné pre vašich zákazníkov. Mať plnohodnotný internetový obchod môže premeniť sen mať svoj produkt v každej domácnosti na skutočnosť.

Internetový obchod ponúka možnosti kreativity, rast, and flexibility that may not be available with traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. Napríklad, an ecommerce store doesn’t require the same steps of opening an in-person store, like renting property.

Easy to Expand with Omnichannel Selling

It is important to have the capacity to expand your business as it grows. When you have an established online store and are ready to invest in new sales channels, you can easily sync your product catalog with a social media site or marketplace.

Having an elektronický obchod vám tiež umožňuje propagovať vaše podnikanie viacerými spôsobmi. Môžete ho pripojiť k sociálnym médiám, ako je Facebook a Instagram, ako aj trhoviská ako Amazon. To vám umožňuje predávať na niekoľkých kanáloch naraz.

Ak predávate online s Ecwid od Lightspeed, môžete spravovať svoj inventár a predaj z jedného dashboardu. To vám pomôže zabezpečiť, aby ste neprepredávali svoje fyzické produkty, a povie vám, kedy potrebujete doplniť zásoby.

How to Start an Online Store with No Money

Now let’s dive into the actionable steps you can take to choose an ecommerce platform for your online store and get the word out about your new business with little to no upfront cost!

How to Choose an Ecommerce Platform

Here’s what to look for when deciding on an ecommerce platform:

  • Stanovenie cien. How much will it cost you to make money with this platform?
  • Integrability. Does this platform integrate well with other tools you’re going to use? Consider platobné brány, prepravcovia, a marketingové nástroje.
  • Šablóny. Ponúka platforma dizajnové šablóny, ktoré uľahčia spustenie vášho internetového obchodu??
  • Analytics. Zistite, či riešenie obsahuje analytické funkcie, vďaka ktorým budete mať prehľad o svojich zákazníkoch a predaji.
  • Prívetivosť vyhľadávania Google. Vstavané nástroje SEO vám pomôžu dostať sa do centra pozornosti vyhľadávania.
  • Mobilná prívetivosť. Mobilné nakupovanie je väčšie ako kedykoľvek predtým, takže mobilná verzia vášho internetového obchodu by mala byť ľahko použiteľná.
  • Zákaznícka podpora. You want a store platform with live support in case of emergencies.
  • Transaction safety. Ensure your platform doesn’t store customerspayment data and protects transactions made in your online store.
  • Growth opportunities. Will the platform help you grow or hold you back?

Let’s talk more about the last point: growth opportunities. When you’re starting out on a budget, samozrejme, you want a free platform. Avšak, they usually come with limits. If your business becomes successful, it will eventually outgrow those limits.

Napríklad, možno budete chcieť predať viac ako tri originálne produkty, ktoré ste ponúkali pri prvom zakladaní obchodu. Môže sa stať, že budete musieť presunúť celý svoj obchod a operácie na inú platformu, pretože prvá nie je taká pokročilá, ako by ste ju nakoniec potrebovali..

Zatiaľ čo my ponúkame plán navždy zadarmo, Ecwid od Lightspeed umožňuje vášmu online obchodu rozširovať sa s rastom vášho podnikania. Môžete pridať nové predajné kanály, zväčšite svoj katalóg produktov, využiť marketingové nástroje, alebo dokonca vytvorte mobilnú nákupnú aplikáciu pre váš obchod. Všetko, čo musíte urobiť, je inovovať, keď sa váš obchod rozrastá.

Ako nastaviť internetový obchod

S Ecwidom od Lightspeed, môžete vytvoriť svoj web elektronického obchodu od začiatku. Ak už máte existujúcu webovú stránku, môžete k nemu jednoducho pridať internetový obchod. Založenie internetového obchodu je s Ecwid bezplatné. S bezplatným plánom, môžete predávať obmedzený počet produktov, ale nie sú tam žiadne transakčné poplatky, uľahčuje začatie podnikania s malým alebo žiadnym rozpočtom.

Ako bezplatne propagovať internetový obchod

Teraz, keď sme zistili, ako spustiť váš internetový obchod s obmedzeným rozpočtom, porozprávajme sa o tom, ako propagovať svoj obchod bez toho, aby ste minuli cent.

Dve najdostupnejšie a ľahko použiteľné propagačné metódy sú sociálne médiá a e-mailový marketing. Sú bezplatné a dostupné pre každého, ale sú užitočné najmä pre nových majiteľov firiem.

Využite sociálne médiá

Internetový obchod vám tiež môže poskytnúť prístup k používaniu sociálnych médií ako marketingovej platformy pre váš obchod. Stránky ako Facebook, Instagram, a TikTok pomáhajú malým podnikom rozširovať svoje publikum a predávať priamo z aplikácie.

Môžete uverejniť odkaz na svoju webovú stránku, obrázky produktov, videá, ponuky, a ďalšie na propagáciu vášho obchodu na stránkach sociálnych médií. Social media can be a great way to showcase your brand and products while telling your audience the person behind the business. People often buy from small businesses for the personal touches and stories behind the product.

Social media is great for showing the behind-the-scenes of your business

By posting on social media, you give your audience a chance to fall in love with you and your products simultaneously. Be yourself, be goofy, show any mess-ups, and help your audience laugh along with you. Customers love to see who they are buying from and supporting.

Get Started with Email Marketing

When using email marketing, you can promote your business through a newsletter or email campaign. Emails can be sent to potential and current customers. It is a great way to connect with your customers while growing your influence.

Start by making an email list of people interested in what you have to offer—those who bought your product or signed up for emails. Môžeš offer discounts for signing up, birthday discounts, or exclusive content to incentivize people to subscribe to your email list.

The easiest way to grow your email list is to add a sign-up checkbox at checkout. S Ecwidom od Lightspeed, môžeš enable it with a single tap—no need to code or install third-party plugins.

Then start sending emails informing customers about new products, predaja, ponuky, discounts—include any information about your business that will keep the customers interested. Napríklad, if you sell pillows, you can share advice for better sleep—like buying your pillows!

There are email marketing platforms that offer free plans with a limited number of contacts or sends. When you’re just starting your store, that can be more than enough. And when your business is steady and you’re ready to invest in marketing, you can upgrade.

But when you’re ready and have a store with Ecwid by Lightspeed, you can use its automated email marketing tools, which are available on paid plans.
