0 – 0.9 = $9.99
1 – 1.9 = $14.99

Your store design will mostly depend on your niche (category) if you ask us we will recommend selling different products. As far as the theme is concerned, we want you to choose Minimal theme so that your store loads faster on any internet speed. Modify theme, logo, color platelet and different unique stuff yourself.
To select theme click on Online store > Themes and Here you will see free themes and you can choose anyone you like.
You can set up your own custom domain as required.
Another important thing on this set up is ABOUT US page which is necessary. Choose ABOUT US wisely. Write in a professional way.
Next point is SHIPPING PAGE:
Shipping depends on the product ordered. For promotional “FREE” items it may take 3-5 weeks to arrive since our items are coming overseas and from a different warehouse. For non-promotional items, the shipping can take up to 14 to 30 days. Please allow 14 days before contacting us. No email correspondence will be entered into on the subject of delivery until after this period. This is to allow for any delays in the postal system and to keep email administration down to a manageable level.
And your store is up and running. Next Main step is how to get products to your store:

6: Getting Traffic and Sales
Now like we mentioned earlier that we would not let you spend even a single penny on the advertisement campaign so that we will use FACEBOOK as the advertisement platform.
Facebook allows you to start the campaign for FREE. All you have to do is make a fan page with the related category and subcategory as your domain/URL. Remove the auto-generated picture. Give a good detail and description because a description can attract many clients/customers.
Now one thing you should focus on before finishing up your ad is that you focus right audience who are interested in your store. There would be an interest tab which will show you interested audience. Keep the focus on the better audience for your stuff to sell.
Now the post and the ad is ready, go to create and name the campaign and click on USE A SAVED AUDIENCE. Then for placement choose all platforms and in platforms choose only Facebook with budget $20/day on the first day.
You are almost done with it.
7: Scaling up
Now to scale up to add more products and keep testing. Also, create different ad sets with the different target audience. Delete the one who doesn’t make much profit and keep the highest earning thing.
A little tip in this regard is to install “Yo- display recent sales in real time.” This app boost sales like crazy. We will recommend you to use this app.
This was all from our side. Happy earning everyone. Keep liking our stuff.
