Running a catalog e-commerce site was one of my favorite experiences as an entrepreneur. Some successful e-commerce businesses generate 6-7 figures within their first year.
A catalog e-commerce site is one that lists lots of different products, usually targeted towards a specific niche.
A few people mentioned that they wanted me to write more articles about e-commerce, so I decided to write this article to share the answer to one of my most frequently asked e-commerce questions, which is how to find wholesale suppliers.
I also did a search on Google and most of the articles that turned up are pretty useless.
In this article, I’ve included a list of ways that I personally found suppliers for my e-commerce store as well as some other sources that others have used.
When I launched my first e-commerce store in 2004, using SEO to get search engine traffic from Google was probably the easiest way to start making money with an online store. All I had to do was trade links with other related e-commerce stores and the search engines would send targeted traffic to my site.
Pinterest has received a lot of attention recently for becoming one of the fastest growing social media sites of all time.
