Want to start a business without
breaking the bank to rent a location?
Online merchants can get the best of both worlds,
establishing a place for themselves in the market
and saving money by working from home.
Online merchants sell, package, and ship
products to customers or distributors.
On a daily basis, they might check
their computer for new orders and
process payments received for merchandise.
Then, they might buy a new product and
upload an appealing picture of it to the online store.
Online merchants make sure users can find and
navigate their website and then buy their products easily.
They typically set the prices for products,
and email customers to confirm transactions
and communicate throughout the shipment process.
Some online merchants work in teams for a store or distributor,
while others work independently from home.
This career allows a lot of schedule flexibility
they may work full-time on developing their online store,
or work part-time for some extra cash.
Online merchants rely more on their business savvy
than formal education to get their careers started.
In this field, good customer service and the ability
to work independently are essential to success.
