Lost in Lagos by Tope; a 22 year old Nigerian American Big Cartel online store owner
Ever want to start your own business? Have your own store? Or sell a product you know the world will love? If so Big Cartel is the place for you to begin working toward your dream of starting your own business!
Websites like Big Cartel, Etsy, and even Ebay represent a recent phenomena that makes it easier than ever for young aspiring business people to start their own company and receive access to a worldwide audience at significantly lower costs than the price of a local boutique.
It wasn’t until recently that I discovered the trend of buying and selling items through creating your own personal store on the website Big Cartel. Big Cartel allows aspiring company owners access to a fully customizable online store and domain. Each seller or virtual business owner receives an exclusive separate domain to promote the products of their online store without the intrusion of visible competition or advertisements. On this site, the storeowner is fully in charge of providing advertising to promote traffic into their online store. However, Big Cartel does offer a store directory listing all stores using the Big Cartel domain to seek the certain store or business of your choice. Similarly, Etsy and Ebay provide a place for sellers to display searchable products while providing sellers with a community and page to display products.
How do you start? Sign up! Becoming a seller or storeowner is so simple and easy. The price to signup for a domain or online boutique at Big Cartel ranges from free for gold users looking to sell a maximum of 5 products to $29.99 monthly for titanium users selling a maximum of 300 products.
With this new digital age owning your own store has never been so easy or profitable! What’s stopping you from being the businesswoman of your dreams? Start your own store now.
