Margins, not products.

• Choosing what to sell hands on
  Demand, competition, weight and fragility - and why the exciting product is often the wrong one.
• Local versus cross-border
  Selling inside Pakistan against selling abroad, with the honest trade-offs.
• Cash on delivery
  The dominant local model, its return rates, and how that changes every calculation.

Somewhere to sell.

• Store platforms hands on
  Shopify, WooCommerce and Daraz - what each suits.

  Photography, descriptions, reviews and answering objections.
