Become An Entrepreneur
In our humble opinion, on par with investing in yourself, we find entrepreneurship, i.e. starting your own business, to be the best investment of your time and money!
As far as what kind of business to start, we have found eCommerce to be the best option; specifically, eCommerce using the dropshipping model.
What is eCommerce and dropshipping?
eCommerce is simply selling goods online – Amazon being the biggest example.
Dropshipping is the fulfillment process of eCommerce. With dropshipping, you as the seller don’t hold the stock or inventory that you are selling. Instead, whenever a customer orders a product from you, you receive their payment first before you order that product from your supplier or manufacturer, who will then ship it directly to your customer. Your profit is made from selling the product to your customer for more than the cost of ordering it from your supplier or manufacturer.
For example, if you’re selling a product for £20 and the cost of ordering that product from your supplier or manufacturer is £5, then your profit is £15 (minus applicable costs) per order placed in your store.
Why eCommerce
Here are some of the reasons why we love eCommerce with dropshipping:
- There’s a low barrier of entry. Unlike a physical store, it is far easier and cheaper to open an online store. Anyone can start their own online store, no matter their skill, experience or budget!
- You can start with a relatively small amount of money. Unlike a physical store which typically requires expensive overheads, the cost of opening and managing an online store is extremely low, and many apps, functions and features are available for free!
- It is low risk. Physical stores typically require a heavy commitment of time and money. Online stores can be set up quite quickly and cheaply. With the dropshipping model, there is no need to buy and hold stock; you only need to order a product after you have been paid by your customer. And when it comes to set up, management and marketing, there are plenty of free options, as well as different price points to suit every budget!
- It can be automated. Many functions of managing an online store, such as fulfilling customer orders, shipping and sending emails or reminders can be automated through apps, features and third-parties, enabling you to maximise productivity and growth with minimal time and effort!
- It benefits from global exposure. Physical stores are limited to their local exposure. Online stores, on the other hand, benefit from global exposure, meaning your customers can come from anywhere in the world!
- It can be scaled up quickly and easily. Compared all types of businesses, not just retail, the biggest advantage of online stores is their ability to scale up very quickly and easily, increasing sales volume and profit exponentially due to the above points we’ve highlighted!
When considering starting an eCommerce business, there are plenty of options available; but our favourite platform of choice to build our stores on is Shopify.
Why Shopify
With Shopify, you can quickly and easily build a brand new store from scratch without needing any coding or design experience. As non-coders ourselves, we’ve found all the features within Shopify easy to understand and we were able to create our first store within a short period of time!
Shopify is extremely user-friendly and enables you to design your ideal store simply by using its ‘drag and drop’ elements. There are also many tools, features and apps to help you automate the running of your store.
We have personally built numerous stores for ourselves using Shopify, and if you like the idea of starting your very own online store, click the button below to check out Shopify for yourself!
