I had a random thought about starting an online bookstore and landed on your video…I’m sooooo glad I did! I have loved interior design since I was a child and you have inspired me to go after what I love. I’m a nurse but interiors in what I love. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤
I relate to you 💯 I’ve been reading since I can remember too and recently just gone back to reading because life and kids happened so I forgot how much I loved reading. My husband pushed and inspired me to just open an online bookstore and probably have people visit our place if they want to. So excited for your journey!❤
Your story is almost a mirror to my own, that ah ha moment of realizing I needed to open a bookstore was almost like a weight off my shoulders. It just makes so much sense and I don't know how I didn't think of it sooner. Now its just trying to navigate the path. :) I hope things are going amazingly for you and I cant wait to check out some more videos on your channel! Thank you so much for sharing!
Also I was around 4 when my love of reading started to blossom. I still have the first chapter book I was gifted by my grandmother. Elizabeth Gail and the Teddy Bear Mystery by Hilda Stahl
You're always so creative and passionate about everything you do. I love this! My problem is actually parting with books. I have hundreds, but even though I've already read them, I want to hang onto them all. I had about 4 that I reluctantly put in a yard sale(but I had zero customers). I'm excited for you☺
I too have a hard time parting with books and my hubby tells me, sell it to others who haven't read it yet and i'm like okay then i have a hard time letting of them when i hand them over
So happy for you, wishing you much success! I'm considering opening my own bookstore, but I keep delaying that because I'm so afraid to do it. I think starting with an online store sounds like a great idea
YEs! Thank you! I like starting online so I can get the feel of things and still work from home. Soneday I think it would be cool to have an actual store!
Hey there Marilyn, This is a great question that I would love to elaborate more on but to start, I was say sell from your own collection first. Chances are if you liked what you have read, someone else will too. But also, I conduct research. What books are trending from what genre? Who are some popular authors that have a good reputation. I find that once you start selling, you will will be able to start to see where your audience leans towards. I love mystery and romance. Once people get to know me and enjoy my recommendations, they start to trust me when I offer up a recommendation from an author they have never heard of because they trust my judgement. If a book winds up on your shelf for longer than six months, it might be time to donate it. I will create a new video explaining more about how I do it!
Okay I made it about 7 mins in and I didn't see anything about how to start a online bookstore and not going to waste 1 more min when the only advice you have given up to this point is check this guy out. I know the title is different than how to open a online bookstore but you obviously have it tagged and was the 1st thing to pop up ty for wasting 8 min's of my time now comment included so technically I did waste 1 more min darn
I imagine you were looking for more of a tutorial. The title does not say "How to start an online bookstore" it just is me talking about how I opened an online bookstore! Thanks for the comment tho! :)

What books sell good and which books should I avoid trying to sell because they don't sell well?

What platforms do you sell your books on?
Pango.com !!! Its the best!!
Congratulations!!
Thank you!!!
what platform did you use? How about suppliers
I use a website/app called Pango! I buy any supplies I need from Amazon! Should I made a video explaining what I use?
