I want to sell online but don’t know where to begin. Should I choose Amazon or something else?
I have recently started making handmade home decor items. Everyone tells me to join Amazon or Flipkart, but I’m completely lost.
What is the right approach to be taken?
Are there better platforms than Amazon or is Instagram enough?
Also can Sumvaad Bazaar help with anything?

Dear @Samriddhi , thanks for sharing your query. Starting with marketplaces like Amazon or Meesho is a good idea — especially for handmade items. These platforms have built-in customer traffic, but they’re also crowded and competitive.
Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook can help build trust, especially if you start with your personal network. Ask friends or family to place 2–3 trial orders and leave genuine reviews — that’ll help boost your visibility.
I’ve learned this the hard way after spending ₹5L on ads too early. Honestly, a steady organic approach works better when you’re just beginning.
That’s where Sumvaad Bazaar can help. It's not an order-based marketplace — instead, it’s a B2B networking space where serious business owners and resellers connect, promote products, and get leads. You can list your product here, get feedback from real business people, and build early trust before jumping into big platforms.
In short, start small, test smart, and build slow. You're already on the right path!
