I'm thinking about starting my own ecommerce store, but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. There's so much information out there and I'm not sure where to start. I don't have a big budget for courses or coaches, so I'm wondering if there are any good resources or ways to learn without breaking the bank.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation. How did you get started, and are there any tools or programs you'd recommend for those just diving into ecommerce?
Thanks in advance!
I was in your shoes about a year ago. I tried a few of the free training options and they were pretty helpful in understanding the basics. Once you get comfortable with the basics, I'd also recommend focusing on one aspect of ecommerce - product sourcing or site customization. It's easy to get overwhelmed trying to learn everything at once, so breaking it down into smaller steps really helped me focus.
Hey, I totally get where you're going with this! When I first started out, I felt exactly the same way - I was drowning in information. What really helped me was finding free training for independent ecom. There are quite a few online and they are very helpful. I started with them to learn the basics - YouTube channels, a few free webinars, and even free ebooks. They give you a solid foundation without costing a lot of money. Be sure to check out forums and communities. You can get answers to specific questions on them, and many people are happy to share their experiences. Good luck!
