Building An Online Store On A Tight Budget Doing a business is all about risks, calculated risks, more precisely. You can’t just go out there with your idea and start your business. There are many ideas, waiting to be ‘sold’. So, the question arises - is it that simple? Honestly? It’s not simple, but it’s not difficult either. "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."--E. James Rohn The easiest way to ‘sell’ those ideas, would probably be, going for an e-commerce platform. You have the product, now you need to build a store - a place where you could market, promote and deliver them. So, what’s the most important thing you need to start a business - well, apart from that idea you have? Money. A budget - a foolproof budget plan, to start you off. That’s not quite easy, right? How to plan your budget according to your preferences? Especially, if you have little money and you really want to start a business. There are some important points you need to keep in your mind while making a tight budget, before creating an online store. Being good at what you do. No need to experiment with a new territory. Your intuition plays a big role in here - go with it. Engage your business around something useful. If you are still not sure, do a survey of the things people usually need, and come up with your own version of it. Don’t overflow your expenses. You can get carried away with your thoughts while starting a new business. Just go for the simpler version of what you think is ‘cool’. Tools like Ideator and Evernote, can really prove fruitful. Use less costly services. For menial tasks, there are service like Fiverr and Upwork, from where you can really cut down your costs, and still have a good webstore.
