Profit is no where to see while building your online store. The product you are selling, the platform you are using does not determine your profits. What strategies do you use to promote your products will actually determine profit. Marketing is the fundamental aspect of generating profits form your business. In my experience, using ecommerce marketplace keeps your start up cost low and using advertising services offered b the marketplaces where yo are selling will help you generate sales. Depending on your products, you can choose between Amazon, eBay, and Etsy.

Sales is everything when it comes to building a profitable online store, you have to be able to drive traffic to your website, traffic that will convert and make you money, which is basically you should be able to bring in people that will buy your products.

Most of the times you'll find out that reason why most stores don't make sales is because they don't know how to market their products so, they waste a lot of time in building a store but after building it, it becomes hard to land a client, it's even better to start from Facebook marketplace before scaling to an online store.
