Having multiple stores can feel overwhelming. Here you will discover tools and apps that help you grow and manage your presence on many sites through a single interface. There are many ideas outlined in these pages. But they aren't here to encourage you to jump on all of them right away. In fact, unless you have already mastered an online marketplace like selling on Etsy first, then aiming for more markets is asking for overwhelm, confusion, and stress. Read the book through in the order it's written. Make notes of which markets and tools appeal to you.

Your plan is your guide, but it's not set in stone, especially with ecommerce, which transforms rapidly. To grow a successful business, adopt an adaptive mindset. Regularly review your progress and edit your plan according to the results of actions you have taken and current circumstances.
