Electronic commerce is defined as a business model that allows companies and individuals to buy and sell goods and services over the internet. When perfected e-commerce is really the golden ticket to making money from home. No longer are gatekeepers of commerce dictating who can and cannot do business. If you have a business idea, you can research its viability by using e-commerce.

If you are an artisan, an accountant, or a street vendor, you can operate your business online. E-commerce is not limited to goods but also extends to selling services online. Here are a few ways to set up an e-commerce business.

Drop-Shipping Websites

Most online businesses require that you invest in stock, that is, the product you want to sell. Keep items in a warehouse as you market the goods to customers and then finally deliver items to the customers. Dropshipping is a different business model, all you have to do is find a manufacturer of a product and inquire about drop shipping options. You would then set up an e-commerce website as well as social media page. You would then market the products and once purchased you would ask the manufacturer to ship the items directly to your customer. The goal is to mark up the products in order to make a profit from each sale. Done multiple times, you could earn a healthy living online without investing in stock or the hustle of delivering goods to the customer.

E-commerce Websites

If you don't want to invest in a product website, that could you run you up to $200 per month including online ads and domain names, and more. You could always use an e-commerce marketplace online. They usually charge a small fee or no fee in some cases and they allow you to sell your products on their platform for a commission. These marketplaces often don't have a minimum amount of goods that you can sell, allowing you to start with small quantities and build on that as sales grow. This can be a very safe and practical way to earn money from home.

Selling on Social Media Sites

You can set up a social media account for your business and use these accounts to market and sell products online. You can have Facebook and Instagram accounts and communicate with customers directly on WhatsApp in order to make payment arrangements and delivery options. You can also sell directly on the Facebook marketplace and set up an Instagram shop connected to your brand social media account.

These are just a few ways that you can earn a living using e-commerce and use it as a steady source of income. Do you have an e-commerce business? What platform has been a successful way for you to sell your products online? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
