I am totally new to this, I just get a feel that I want to start doing some hussle on the side of my main job.

I have no clue, where should I begin?

I dont really know WHAT I want to sell, I do know that it cannot be anything I create myself, due to lack of time

Thanks for reply.

I have not opened a store yet, only in development stage.

However, is it required/recommended to have area of expertise in the area im selling products in?

It would be very beneficial to have expertise in the products you sell for a number of reasons but I’ll list a few below -

  • Having the ability to identify whether your customers and target market are a great fit for the product.
  • Creating a better customer experience as you’ll be able to better answer any queries, have accuracy when selling the product and provide satisfactory service to your customers.
  • Knowing your product will mean you can optimize your marketing strategy which in turn, affects your traffic, conversion and sales.
