When you are selling through third party marketplace, you get access to their large volume of registered buyers, all you need to do is do some SEO to improve visibility. However, with self hosted store, you start from scratch. How do you begin?

In my experience, getting traffic from search engines for a self hosted is very hard. That's because when people search something, and even when your product appears on the searches, people will prefer to click link to well known ecommerce sites rather than your unknown or little know site.

SEO tends to be a bit harder when you're running a store. The key is to try to drive traffic to your store via social media or paid ads. If ads aren't so expensive, you'll be able to generate more money from your store in the long run.
