Hi Paris, it's impressive that you're interested in ecommerce, advertising, and web design at 17. A good way to start is by using a simple platform like Shopify or WooCommerce to set up an online store, which can be done for free or at low cost. For web design, try tools like Canva, Figma, or the customization features on Shopify to make your store look professional, and you can learn basic HTML and CSS through free resources such as freeCodeCamp or YouTube. For advertising, learn how social media ads work on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, and you can start with a small budget to test them out. Understanding business analytics and marketing is helpful, so learning Google Analytics and metrics like conversion rates and click-through rates is valuable. Consider starting a project based on your interests, setting up a store, designing the site, and running a small ad campaign for hands-on experience. Since you're in San Francisco, please check out local meetups, startup events, or school programs for young entrepreneurs to keep building your skills. I hope this helps!
