5 Biggest eCommerce mistakes that you should avoid
And there are the 5 most common mistakes with Newbie that I notice. Do you have it? f yes, please refresh your mind to get back on the right path. If no, it’s better to avoid all these!
ECommerce mistake #1: It’s tempting to see anything, but it’s easy to get discouraged
This is called the FOMO (Fear of missing out) effect. Sometimes this person shows proof of Merch, sometimes Shopify, sometimes Teechip, GearLaunch, then Amazon. When they see something profitable or interesting, they want to jump in and do it, but the results don’t come to fruition. They just become bored, then quit. This is one of the most common mistakes that 90% of dropshipper will make. It’s easy to get excited when you see profits. But life is not a bed of roses. And running a dropshipping business is not that easy.
You need to prepare to have failures before actually being successful. You may feel distressed. You may be laughed at. But the point is to keep doing what you are doing until you have it. Do not give up easily. As results won’t come if you give up so fast.
ECommerce mistake #2: Lack of background knowledge
If you don’t know, then ask. If you want to be good, then learn. The principle is just simple as that. However, learning the basics is tedious and difficult to swallow, so many Newbies often ignore it. Just want to learn the sublime but all the great things start from a solid foundation. Remember that no pianist can play like a dragon without learning the 7 basic notes on the piano. So start from the basics. Study them carefully before you jump to another part.
ECommerce mistake #3: Likes to make money fast by any means
Building a Store takes a lot of time and effort. However, most Newbies like to make money fast and are impatient. And I tell you, that’s not gonna happen. When there are too many people around you making money with a great hat, black hat, many newbies can’t stand it and start plunging into the whirlpool of sin. But rushing is not the key to being successful. Planning carefully to take the right step is one thing you should keep in mind.
ECommerce mistake #4: Missing a Companion or Mentor
When you don’t know anything, you need to learn first. Find a companion or like-minded Mentor, it’s a way to help Newbie go farther and faster when someone guides the initial steps and has a friend to share valuable experiences so that you don’t make a mistake. Having a companion and Mentor will save you a lot of money on basic mistakes when starting out.
ECommerce mistake #5: Get lost because of a lack of an overview
Ecommerce is not just building stores, not just running ads, not just finding hot products…Ecommerce is a bigger picture than that. No one builds a house without a blueprint, even if it’s just a piece of paper. You cannot build a business without a vision and an overarching plan. Give it more time to know what to do before deciding what to do.
