HACKER Q&A

Starting new ecommerce site for clothes, what should I know for success?


Some background info:

1. Stack: Shopify. 2. Theme on shopify: undecided still. 3. Market Research: selling goods offline through exhibitions to understand logistics and sales. 4. Target audience: mid-range clothes. 5. Sourcing of inventory: through wholesale suppliers.

I am interested in learning: 1. What are some practical tips to make a successful online business? 2. Are there any books/podcasts/resources that can help me improve the business aspect of running a small business? 3. I do not think tech is going to be complicated at surface (shopify etc. etc.), and I am not averse to getting my hands dirty if needed, but time is of essence, and getting into a theme's code, for example, is going to consume a lot of it. So avoiding that for now, but any recommendations? 4. Any questions I may not be asking?

thanks.
