[ayeshshiddika11]

Nowadays, you can sell almost any product or service over the Internet in many countries and also from one country to another. This does not require a large investment or advanced computer skills.

However, just because it can be done does not mean that any person or company will achieve enough sales to make their online sales project profitable in their country or internationally. Firstly, because if it is easy for us, it is also easy for any competitor from our country or another country who wants to sell products or services similar to ours in the place we choose. And on the other hand, we will need a sufficient number of sales on a continuous basis for the project to be viable.

To do this, we need a plan that will allow us to achieve success in our project. Where do we start?

The first step is to analyze what is being sold, where and how it is being sold. This will allow us to choose the market, products or services and the strategy to follow.

Start selling in the international e-commerce field
We can start by taking a look at france phone data market reports that we can find on the ICEX website on e-commerce in different countries or from companies such as We are social, which analyses e-commerce globally as a whole . We can also go to platforms such as Amazon or Ali Express in different countries to check which are the most popular sales.

Once we have a first idea or contact with international online commerce, we should focus our analysis on a few countries and from there we will choose one or two to start with . Generally, those countries with greater technological development and wealth per capita tend to be the ones that buy the most online, such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, countries of the European Union, Japan and Korea, although it is true that this map will change rapidly due to the incorporation of other countries with a younger population that prefers this channel over others.

In any case, before selecting them, we must also investigate their legislation regarding online purchasing and the obligations that apply to the seller, such as labeling in the language of the country, product warranty, safety standards, etc.

If we are not sure which product or service to sell, it can be useful to start by evaluating those that we know well through our professional experience or through our hobbies and tastes, or we can also consider marketing those products that arouse greater interest among people in a country. To find out about the latter, there is a free Google resource called Google Trends that allows you to see the most searched terms on the Internet through Google in different countries. In any case, once we make the decision, we must study more thoroughly the sale of the chosen products in the selected countries.
