Best Way to Start a ecommerce website

[joeblack01]

I have a domain, that's 10 years old. And I have not used it and I would like to start a ecommerce store using aliexpress. Is it better to start a store with one niche or create a store with multi niches??

i think it depends. if you are selling things you have in a warehouse, put all of them in your store. if you have multiple vendors at hand, advertise all their products. you are just starting out so be ready for losses or at least delays. you need to decide what kind of marketing you can afford, that will help you a lot. There are already so many ecommerce websites out there, what will your unique selling point be? work on what you can offer to people that they need.

depends on the niche. generally i would go for 1 niche per site unless they are closely related .
ex bike accessory shop. instead of selling only helmets, sell gloves, jerseys, water bottles, etc. just don't go overboard.

i think when you focus on 1 niche per site it will rank better , you can do multiple niches but you might need some $$

thanks for the info, I was thinking about starting a all in one store and keep everything under $20. The domain i own is call the lower price. I was going to use aliexpress and do dropshipment

I am looking to get into aliexpress and sell items under 20 or under 30 from clothes, jewelry, toys etc.. I have many years of seo experience so i can get through the rough patch without losing my tail off. Thanks for the input

An all-in one store is not a great idea, pretty much every beginner does this and pretty much most of them fail due too much competition among a couple other things.
