Hi guys,

 

I thought I'd alert you all to a great O2 Business Blog where we talk about 5 great places to sell your stuff online: Ebay, Etsy, Depop, Not on the High Street and Big Cartel.

 

http://businessblog.o2.co.uk/5-places-sell-your-products-online/

 

"It’s a statistic that seems somewhat hard to imagine, given that, over the last decade or so, the huge success of digital marketplaces means there are more options than ever when it comes to selling online. While it’s understood that having a website is integral to raising the profile of your business online, it doesn’t necessarily have to host your virtual shop, and the benefit of using these platforms is that you don’t have to manage the whole platform yourself."

 

Do you use online platforms to sell your stuff? Which sites do you prefer and why?

Hi guys,

 

Last Friday @Toby shared with you guys this article suggesting different places to sell online. And today here I come to recommend you to read this O2 Business Blog were we talk about how our shopping habits have changed since the begging of the digital revolution.

 

"Social media has made it easier than ever before for businesses to connect with their customer base, as well as showcasing new products and promotions. Even though social media has enabled businesses of all sizes to compete in terms of marketing, one question that advertisers and entrepreneurs have grappled with over the past few years is how much of an impact social media actually has on a business’ bottom line.

 

In recognition of this, and perhaps to make it easier for businesses to make more accurate assessments of the ROI on their social channels, the three major social networks have been testing and introducing new features to enable people to make purchases directly from their platforms."

 

Find more about the new era of social e-commerce below:

Do you use online platforms to buy your stuff? Which sites do you prefer and why? How many time do you think you are saving doing it online?

I'll be honest, I buy all my drone stuff on the Chinese sites. Shipping takes yonks but it's dirt cheap.
Parts cost 10-20% what they do here and everything is free shipping, or if it's expensive then you can pay about £7 for priority air shipping which takes around a week.
There's loads of the knockoff phones too but I just wouldn't take that gamble personally.
Just had a delivery today actually.
3 sets of gears
4 sets of 4 motors
2 li-po batteries
£27 free shipping.
In UK I'd be looking at near a hundred.

Is that a hobby or do you run it as a business, if you don't mind me asking?
