You may sell product that many companies sell, but the market size is enough to gain more and more customers. You can also develop an existing product like making your own (choose popular trends) prints on T-Shirts that you will sell.

Now let’s see how to choose niches that fits customer needs:

• WordPress: a software for sites design, it is easy to learn and use and has the feature to create online store

• Woo commerce: open-source Ecommerce platform built on WordPress. Get started now.

B- Subscribe to storefront platform

Storefront platforms are platforms that offers users a storefront with full functionality on their sites. Popular storefronts are Shopify – bigcommerce.com – oberlo.com. These storefronts will allow you to have your online store easily and quickly without effort or experience in sites design but they require monthly fees and users don’t always have full control over the look and functionality of their site.

Third: Find and source Your Product

You can find sources for your products via the below methods:

- Search internet for wholesale suppliers

- Search for local Physical Supplier

- Drop shipping:

 you make a deal with another online store owner to market and sell his products on you store and when you receive an order he ships it to customer and you collect the money from buyer then give him the price of product after deducting your profit value.

One of the famous drop shippers is Kanawat. 

- Online arbitrage: 

You search stores for products that has offers and discounts then buy it and sell it over another platform with higher price.
