You can start a business at any age, don't let anyone tell you different.

Pick A Niche

Since you want to know how to start your own clothing line web store, we guess it is safe to say you already know what you want to sell. Now all you need to do is pick a niche. There are so many to choose from: maternity clothes, sports apparel, casuals, plus size, bride and bride’s maid gowns, cultural themed clothing, winter clothing, baby clothing … the list just goes on and on. A niche will allow you to narrow the competition and focus your resources when it comes to marketing, inventory and keeping up to date with trends.

Pick A Name

Every store needs a name. Before choosing a name, read this article on how to choose a good store and domain name. In a nutshell, the process of choosing store names for online stores depends mostly on your keyword research results. Choosing a domain name that has suitable keywords will make it easier for your store to be ranked (along with the use of other keywords and marketing methods) and thus easily found by people looking for items that your store sells.
