Newbie - how to get started

OK I am new, but I am sincere. So far I have accomplished the following:

1. Got a business license.
2. Sales tax ID number
3. Chosen my e-Commerce platform

Now I am stuck....how do I research and what? Do I try to have one Mega store that sells a little of everything?

Do I have a bunch of little stores that cater to a niche?

Any advice would be extremely helpful.

Thank you

Hi and welcome to Salehoo. Ok, I am NOT a Salehoo staff. I am a new member just like yourself. The wonderful thing about this awesome site is that you can click on their Directory tab. It has a bunch of list of categories you can choose from. They have dropshippers, wholesalers, manufacturers, liquidators, etc. And it is broken down into categories ranging from electronics, shoes, clothes, jewelry, and many many others.

The companies websites and info are listed, so you can view their products as well as contacting them. It's very helpful for you to decide if this is the right company for you.

It is also good to review the companies' ratings from other members like ourselves.

GOOD LUCK!
