There are many businesses available to understand the ecommerce. For example Amazon Alibaba etc. If you want to start your own ecommerce business and you have Zero experience then I am going to cover basics in this blog post.

How to start an ecommerce business
Have you ever listened the word Dropshiping? If NO then don't worry it's somehow like an ecommerce business but little bit different and easy then other ecommerce businesses. In this type of business you build an online store or website and put your products from your suppliers like "oberlo".
What you have to do?
You have to buy a domain name and hosting for your website or store but if you do not have any experience in this type of stuff then try shopify for this all. If you will be using shopify for your store then you will have to buy a domain for it. After that design your store and import the products of your niche from your supplier to your store.
What's Niche?
Niche meanings category of your products. When you work online you use different terminology for your businesses. There are many niches for example Fashion Health Kids garments Gay and lesbian products Electronics etc. Now it depends upon you in which niche you want to build your business. It's tricky to choose any niche for better results.
Who will deliver my products?
As I have already mentioned that after building a store you have to choose your supplier. Supplier is someone who stores the products in his warehouse. When you will get orders from buyers it will be redirected to your supplier. Now it is your suppliers responsibility to ship or deliver that orders to buyers. It is important to choose good supplier for your stores. If your supplier will be lazy or slow then it will make bad effects to your business because customer is paying to you on believing your business.
This business is somehow like passive income. No matter where you are what are you doing. Your supplier will compete your orders and you will earn your commissions. If you are a student or traveller like me then go on and learn deeply about Ecommerce businesses and start your own one.
