Online Store Setup Costs: A Reality Check - Lily - 01-17-2024
Setting up an online store involves estimated costs of $800-$1100 for SEO, digital marketing, and store development. This figure excludes expenses for product procurement or manufacturing, which could incur an additional $2000-$3000. However, success is not guaranteed. For those without extensive online selling experience or extra funds, leveraging existing ecommerce platforms like Amazon, eBay, or Etsy is a safer starting point. These platforms provide built-in visibility, making selling more accessible.
