Shakeel recommends going towards smaller profit margins in the beginning to acquire customers. Once that’s done, you can increase the margins for better profits.
You need to follow these steps to get started:
- Identify a product to sell
- Buy from wholesalers
- Make an account
- Purchase Daraz flyers (their custom packaging)
- Add high-quality photos
- Start selling!
