Hi, I am 37 year old. I am into family business but lost my dad during COVID and now I am not at all interested in the service business. I want to get into product based business like online reselling and running a online e commerce store. Is it good to start in 2025 as I think e commerce has heavy competition. Please advise

Ans: Starting an e-commerce business in 2025 is a good opportunity, but competition is high. Success depends on choosing the right approach. First, find a profitable niche with high demand and less competition. Instead of selling common products, focus on unique ones like eco-friendly goods, smart gadgets, or personalized items. Use tools like Google Trends and Amazon Best Sellers to research what people want and how you can stand out with better pricing, quality, or branding.

Next, pick a business model based on your budget and risk level. Options include dropshipping (suppliers manage inventory and shipping), wholesale buying (purchase in bulk for higher profits), private labelling (selling third-party products under your brand), or print-on-demand (customized items produced only when ordered). You can sell on big marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and Etsy for faster reach or build your own website with Shopify or WooCommerce for better control.

Managing logistics and payments is key. If you stock products, partner with reliable shipping providers like Delhivery or Shiprocket. Set up smooth transactions with payment gateways like Razorpay, PayU, or Stripe. To grow your business, focus on marketing—use social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook for promotion, improve SEO to get more website visitors, and run Google Ads or influencer campaigns to boost sales.

As your business grows, expand smartly by offering subscriptions, bundle deals, or exclusive discounts to keep customers coming back. The key to success is standing out from competitors, offering great service, and strong branding. E-commerce is competitive, but there’s always room for new, unique businesses. All the best for new opportunities.
