Even though selling from third-party marketplace is easier, you are always at the mercy of the marketplace for selling your products and receiving payment. That’s why creating your own store is far better than selling from third-party marketplaces.
You need a domain and hosting to create your online store. You have two options to create your own store, one, use an open source content management system like wordpress, Magento, OpenCart etc. or premium ecommerce platforms like Shopify, Wix, etc. Setting up your store on premium ecommerce platforms is easy, whereas on opne source, you will have to do everything manually. Once you install content management system or ecommerce platform, you can start creating your product list.
In order to sell form your own store, you need to do SEO and rank your website on search engines. When you are selling from third-party marketplace, you need to rank internally. Internal ranking is easier than ranking on search engines.
If you can get 5-start reviews on your few products, selling can be very easy. Focus on getting 5-star reviews.
