Also, make sure that you work on a limited number of products at one time initially so that you can establish trust in the public and you become the best seller of that particular commodity.
Once you are clear about your choices, you can move on to the next step i.e. keeping a track on your marketing statistics. You should be aware of the interest of the customers such as whether a product is in demand or there is no benefit generation from a particular product and so on. Also, this needs to be taken care specifically if one is paying for advertising and increasing the traffic on to your site for promotion of the products. Make sure that you don’t lose money!!

There are certain measures that you should consider so as to elevate the credibility levels and developing a sense of trust amongst your customers which are listed below:
