    Apart from the tips other users have given, which are very helpful, I’d also recommend you not to forget that your ultimate goal is to offer great product to your customers. Running an ecommerce store is a challenge and sometimes it takes so much time and effort that it distracts the seller from what’s really important – selling and making the product range better. And today so many apps automate and facilitate ecommerce, so take your time to research your options. For sure this will turn out to be a great investment.

    In my opinion a lifestyle business is nice to have, but realize that you can create even greater wealth by focusing on the ongoing growth of your business.  On the G2A Pay blog there is a good ebook about how to do all this to make sense "How to build, grow and succeed with ecommerce business"

    Ecommerce is the future of business. Most of the websites learn how to run a store but the real investment and focus need to be made in the logistics and delivery channels. Big companies like Amazon, ebay are able to gain this much success because they have managed their logistics and service delivery but the small players are struggling because to create that much infrastructure there is a need to lot of investment.

    It is not so difficult, even if you don't have strong coding skills. You can launch website on Wordpress with professional ready-made template. For example check these Bike shop WordPress themes from TemplateMonster https://www.templatemonster.com/category/bike-shop-wordpress-themes/ they are perfect for new shops or rental companies looking to create a website to attract more business.
