1. Find a suitable website of professional book selling platform and apply for seller registration and certification. If you are rich, you can even set up your own book buying platform, or you can use a professional online bookstore system to register domain names, buy virtual hosting space and set up your own online bookstore. To apply for seller authentication, you need to provide a photo or copy of your ID card, fax it or send it directly from the computer to the website of the book selling platform, and have a fixed telephone for the staff to confirm their identity. It usually takes about 7 days to pass the certification.
2. After passing the certification, find a better digital camera, photograph the book and upload it to the bookshelf. If the photo is too big, it can be reduced in the software. Baby introduction column introduces what kind of your book is, and it is enough to briefly introduce the relevant content.
3. General books can be sent by printed matter, and the postage can be paid by the buyer. Please refer to the postage standard of sellers in the same industry for surface mail and express delivery.
Usually, buyers use the card numbers of ICBC and ABC to remit money. If you have both, that would be great.
What should I pay attention to when opening a bookstore online?
1, determine the good business book category.
In most cases, our financial personnel are limited, and it is impossible to be as big as the website of a professional book selling platform. First of all, you should choose the right book category, depending on your own purchasing resources, familiarity with books, funds and number of people. Generally speaking, social science, literature and art, children, education and life are popular, so it is almost enough to choose a few new books and bestsellers respectively. Of course, you can also choose to do professional long-selling books, but you can't do them all, otherwise you will be too tired and the effect will not be good.
2. Find a good purchase channel
There are basically three ways to purchase goods in the market: directly from publishers, directly from booksellers, and directly from wholesale markets. As an initial online bookstore, it is the most common practice to buy goods from the wholesale market, and cash transactions in the wholesale market can reduce the discount on getting goods. In addition, when many new books were sold in the first round, the publishing society contracted some booksellers and gave them great discounts. If we maintain a good cooperative relationship with the powerful regular booksellers, we can take the lead in this market. What needs special attention is that both publishing houses, booksellers and wholesale markets basically adopt an irreversible book supply model.
3. Choose the strategy of entering books reasonably.
Although online bookstores don't need to occupy physical stores, they still need to occupy warehouses, not to mention that many stores are opened by physical stores and online bookstores. Therefore, when purchasing goods, we should be less diligent to prevent excessive losses.
