good day everyone, I'm fresh to the e commerce world and looking to gain as much info as I can as I dive into this venture. right now I am in the process of building a store on shopify but I'd really like to run my own site, post my own products that i choose from various suppliers as well as physical inventory. is it realistic to run a store and make profit on one of these sites such as volusion or shopify ? I feel like it's better to cut out the middle man . why pay monthly fees if I can learn how to create a web page myself if it is more affordable in the long run. any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks !

thank you I appreciate it! thinking of starting with some wholesale and or liquidation items. small batch of mixed product and sell where I can post for free. considering squarespace as well, but not sure if I can post my physical inventory there. have a great new year

Shopify is really easy to set up

Welcome to BHW mate. You could setup a small website with ecom based theme. It would cost $10 for domain and around $15 for year of web hosting on namecheap. You could find some good theme for free or maybe a pirated one (paid) on BHW. Good luck
