Ask me anything - I am well established online business owner

Aslamo alikum.

without disclosing my personal information about what i do whats the name of my website etc i want to give you guys helpful information. Which might help you become a business man and may be become rich sometime if you work hard enough.
I am based in europe. i tell you for sure that these people are exactly like us. they think like us behave like us etc. They just have implemented the system and they make sure everyone works on it.
Khair...
i want to give you guys some tips on how you can create online store and sell your stuff online and reach your customers online.
i created my online website about 3 years back. for the first year i had 0 sales throughout. then i researched and found out what is causing it and what should i do.
i used to think online sales come through google only. and this is really really old fashioned thinking.
now a days social media plays a huge huge part.
work on these social media networks. and i promise you would get sales start coming.

1 - facebook
2 - instagram
2 - twitter

while you do this. make sure your every product has different titles and descriptoin. and dont forget to write meta descriptions.
these are main things which bring sales on new businesses.
if you want to get sales you need to follow above.

Now i know doing above specially getting fans on social media is not easy at all. but i can assure you if you dont stop working hard and dont loose your heart you would be able to get fans.
you would need to do your own research on how you grow your business. what i am telling you is a broader view how it is done. but to do it you actually have to go on very micro level.
now to make sales you need to have online payment processing accounts. and i know most of the online payment solutions dont provide services in pakistan. but i suggest you to use payoneer. create an account and activate. i think you can accept payment through it. i have never used it but i think it works.
please ask me any question you want. i would provide in my free time. so you might have to wait a little. but i would try to reply asap.

ok here is the update to all brothers. i have setup a website regarding this purpose. on that website i am going to post everything that would be useful for all my pakistani brothers. i really hope to help you. and i believe i can give you tips and tricks regarding online selling and blogging.
i just launched my website today and i hope admins wont mind me posting the link of my website below. i would post regularly on my website and also post the same post here too. here is my website below.

You should give some facts, such as how much volume business you are doing, give some numbers and what sort of products do you market,

for social media specially on facebook paid fans is total loss. it did not work for me at all. i would recommend you to post in european usa forums etc. ask your customers to like on social media then from there once you get atleast 2000 fans then you can very slowly start to build your social madia. but to build social media from that many fans you need to do research on how other pages are getting more fans.
hows google adwords working for you ? i tried it and found it very expensive with very little use.

you dont need to know about my sales or sale volume. because its not helpful to you. all i am saying is you can make good money from online sales. when i say good it means good.
as a full time job you can do it.
as far as it comes to which products i sell then that does not really matter to get sales. to sell your products you need customers so look for ideas how to get customers not how sell any category.
but even if you want to know what i sell. then i am happy to tell you that i sell dresses, shoes and clothing.
but i have a friend who was my childhood friend and neighbour. now he is one of the biggest sellers on ebay. and he sells mobile accessories.

I am paying about 220-280$ per month for google adwords.

Yes it is expensive. But i am getting most of the customers from google adwords.

I want to ask about the supplier side. Lets suppose you have an order of T-Shirt how you will ask yor supplier to send it to your custoomer wth your name tag? Or first you will ask your supplier to send it to you and then you will send further to your customer?

Which courier / shipping company will be good in Canada. On ebay there are many companies who are selling the products which have the worth of 2$ only. But for 2$ item they are offering free shipping.

Hows this possible? I ordered many items from ebay and they ship me that product in 2$ only with free shipping.

But i am surprised that hows this possible. Do u have any idea about the shipping cost?????????

I dont do online business, neither do I know about canada. But the same question of yours have already crossed my mind and following are my guesses;

1) in germany, there is an option to send a post with a tag that it contains goods and can be opened to check by the post officer. But usually no one checks.. This is very cheap but takes a little longer than usual post. Like if normal package takes one day, this takes about 4-6 days. So look for something like this in Canada. You really have to take a deeper look for all possible shipement methods, sizes, weights, delivery times etc. and you can find the economical one out of them.

2) if the seller has a grown business, it is also possible to make contracts with the post companies which will allow to send numerous packages at a discounted rate. But this method is valid only if you are a large scale seller.
