This is absolutely applies to Amazon. It is said that in a year from now, Amazon will be worth a TRILLION dollars. How can you compete with them? You just can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>When you are ready to launch an online shopping cart for your own products or someone&#8217;s else products, you may be tempted to try to compete with large online eCommerce sites. The best approach is two folds:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, have a strong eCommerce engine to run your website. Yes, you should have your own website with your own domain name. Choose a company that is reputable, well funded, and used by larger corporations than yours. We use <a href=\"\/bigcommerce.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>BigCommerce<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Then try to become part of <strong>Amazon<\/strong>&#8216;s network. Again &#8220;If you can&#8217;t beat them, join them!&#8221;. With BigCommerce for instance, you can incorporate your products on <strong>Amazon<\/strong> and even <strong>Google Shopping<\/strong> and <strong>eBay<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is a new way of thinking. Amazon and Google Shopping are no longer the &#8220;enemy&#8221;; you should embrace them and make their online popularity work for your company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3060\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"petaluma wp-image-3060 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santarosawebsite.com\/websitedesign\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ecommerce.jpg\" alt=\"competing with amazon\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesswebsitecenter.com\/websitedesign\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ecommerce.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/businesswebsitecenter.com\/websitedesign\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ecommerce-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesswebsitecenter.com\/websitedesign\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ecommerce-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesswebsitecenter.com\/websitedesign\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ecommerce-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Embracing the power of Amazon and other large online eCommerce websites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are familiar with the expression &#8220;If you can&#8217;t beat them, join them!&#8221;.
