How to Choose Between Third Party Store and Your Own Store?

[nomad]

There are two methods to sell online, one you sell from your own store, and two you sell through third party store. How to choose which of these two selling methods is appropriate for you? Well, if you aspire to establish a fully customized online store with complete control over branding, marketing, and user experience, creating your own store is the best way forward. However, if do not have a lot of resources for site creation, do not want to spend a lot of time to manage your business and need easy platform, third party store can be better.

With third party stores I believe it would also save more time in terms of gaining traffic. They are already well known, compared to starting your own store where you have to build it from scratch.

For me by now l would go for the third party store. With this kind of business l would making mostly commissions on the sales made on the store, affiliate marketing in a matter of fact.

Third-party stores: Easy setup, instant traffic, less work. BUT, lower profits, less control, brand visibility is meh. Your own store: More control, higher profits, build your brand. BUT, harder setup, takes time to build traffic. Depends on goals! Want quick sales? Go third-party. Building a brand? Own your store!

I always prefer to sell through my own store. By doing this I get much more money and feel too much comfort while doing this. I do have my complete control over this.

Actually it will be better to sell on one store by himself because that will bring more gain compare to thrid party store but for the market to go fast one can consider third party
