Hi there fellow mylotters. So right now I am planning to put up an online gadget shop. I think this kind of business is the best for me since I'm really into technology and gadgets. I'm planning on starting it on instagram since I see a lot of online shops there and I see it's potential as I am just starting to gain traction for my soon to be business. My plan is to sell only brand new gadgets, no refurbished items or anything like that. I'm considering shipping all items first and I will accept the payments through bank deposits, no meetups and cash on delivery methods yet. For me this is the most convenient way as my business gain traction. Then when my shop gets noticed already and a bit established with a decent number of loyal customers then maybe I'll try adding some more payment methods like paypal, credit card payments and other payment methods. Do you guys have any more tips or suggestions? It's my first time to start a business so any help will be appreciated! thank you guys and happy mylotting!

Great! I really wanna give it a shot you know. Sadly, though I think robotics is interesting, it's not currently a part of my plan. I'd sell only gadgets and electronics etc. It's not within the pool of my expertise so maybe next time if I get the chance to learn more things about robotics then maybe that would be great.
