Beginner’s Pitfall Guide

Don’t do this:
  1. Blind product selection - “Looks good, let’s sell it” → Correct: Research market demand and competition first
  2. Ignore suppliers - “Just find the cheapest one” → Correct: Compare quality, MOQ, payment terms
  3. Lazy product pages - “Just upload some photos” → Correct: At least 3 images, highlight differentiation
  4. Messy homepage - “Put all products on homepage” → Correct: Feature 8-12 selected products
  5. Wait for customers - “Listed it, now we wait” → Correct: Actively promote (social/ads/influencers)
Keys to Success:
  1. Product first - Good product = half the battle
  2. Stable supply chain - Avoid stockouts and quality issues
  3. Professional visuals - Images and videos are conversion keys
  4. Continuous promotion - Traffic is the prerequisite for sales
  5. Data-driven - Regularly analyze sales and traffic data
