The financial benefits that eCommerce can bring to businesses are very sweet.

                  According to data gathered by rjmetrics.com, average gross profits for

                  eCommerce sites in their first three months of their first year comes in around

                  the $150,000 mark!


                  By its second year, this average went up to $330,000, and by its third year it

                  reached a peak average of $1 million a month! Of course, this data applies to top

                  companies in ascension, so what are the numbers for normal businesses starting

                  out on eCommerce? What can you expect for your business?



                  Well, the average is $63,000 for their first three months, going up to $127,000 in
                  monthly revenue during their first year in business. It peaked at $352,000 a


                  month after three years in business! Which is an increase of 175% over the course
                  of three years from the start!



                  Where can you start?


                  You have to start by planning what you are going to sell in the first place. Not

                  only do you need to start planning about what you want to sell, but start

                  thinking about an industry and the sort of products you are passionate about. If

                  you are selling something that you love and enjoy, you'll be more likely to enjoy

                  managing your inventory and your eCommerce site.



                  You have to find out if that product will be made by you, if you are going to
                  create designs for coffee mugs, or if you are going to find a wholesaler in order


                  to access what you want to sell, like wholesalecentral.com.


                  Next comes creating a unique identity for your business or brand. An example is

                  Finch Goods Co, who has created an identity for its made in America accessories

                  for men's business that can be easily recognized and remembered.
