Make sure that you followed all instructions of Portal before uploading pictures.

5 Post your products for sale on marketplace Product visibility is name of game! Don’t confine yourself just by adding products to E-catalog and your Storefront. Post products for sale on E-marketplace.

There are numbers of great advantages of posting products on E-marketplaces:

Frequent browsers of marketplace can see your products Buyers can compare your products with others on marketplace Buyers can take an immediate buying decision and make an instant Purchase Order.

6 Post trade leads For many not-so-savvy users of B2B sites it's a bit complicated to make buys and sales through marketplaces. They prefer to get trade leads from site and make contacts with buyers or sellers by fax, phone or just emails. Posting trade leads is a great marketing method to tap new territories. Don’t be disappointed if you do not get immediate feedbacks. Repeat trade leads at least once in a month. Since normally a portal constantly acquires new members, in order to expose leads to bigger audience, it is worthwhile to post trade leads frequently.

Market products and services There are numerous ways of getting traffics on your site and popularize your products. In fact, you can get more people in your web store than it is physically possible to accommodate in a bricks-and-mortar shop.

Compete with large companies On Internet you may successfully compete with behemoths of your industry and even curve market shares out of them.

Low start-up costs Normally, starting a brick and mortar business requires significant cost involvement. On Internet - opposite is true! To start a business online you hardly need any major investment.

No entry barrier As you know, many businesses in real world are tightly controlled by certain groups. On internet there is no such barrier! Anybody can start any business of his choice.

No need to close existing sales channels By adopting Internet as a sales channel you do not loose anything as your web store only complements existing sales conduit.

If you are new to ecommerce world, I would advise you to go slow! First create a plan with long term and short term objectives. Try implementing your plan gradually. Make sure that you do not spend too much money on your initial ecommerce project. Remember! Over 80 percent of all software projects do not finish in time within budget; and do not work as planned!
