Yes. General stores work very well ... for eBay and Amazon ... but I personally wouldn't bother trying to compete with them. But up to you.

Hello there! Your website doesn't look trust worthy. Maybe you can try having higher quality logo, removing the watermark from the products, building up your brand on social media... But the best thing you might want to do is to actually hop to another niche. This niche is very competitive worldwide and most of the buyers only buy health and beauty products from a well known company.
Facebook ads might work the best for you because influence marketing won't give you a good ROI.

what niche will work best
That is the MAIN key component of a successful store. Not many are going to just give it away for free. You need to be creative, observant and do your own research. Like I said before ... NARROW your niche. Whatever it is.
Take for example Yarros's Harry Potter store. He's not selling Harry Potter stuff, Game of Thrones stuff, Lord of the Rings stuff, The Hobbit stuff, Train my Dragon stuff etc etc etc in the same store ... ONLY Harry Potter stuff. Not a "General Fantasy Theme" store. A LASER TARGETED store! And it works very, very well for him.
Here is my summarised version Alidropship's Blogs/Knowledge Base Information on choosing a niche ..
Finding and Testing a Niche
· Explore Best Selling / Most Popular products on Amazon and eBay.
· Just “Ask Google … What’s popular now?”
· Check out Reddit and Quora for popular topics.
· Check Facebook for what’s trending.
· Don’t copy the product/niche, but think of something related to it, or something people interested in it could use. Narrow it down.
· Explore Google Trends to see what’s popular right now and into the future.
· When you are getting a vague idea, type the keyword into Google Trends and Google’s Keyword Planner and see if any of the related words that pop up give you any ideas.
· Make sure the niche is stable or rising in popularity on Google Trends.
· Do a Google search on the niche to see how much competition there is. If eBay and Amazon come up on the first page of search results … forget it. (Also see “Testing a Niche” below)
· Finally, when you have picked a niche, search Aliexpress to see if there are enough products for your niche.
Now that you’ve picked a niche that ticks all of these…
1. Popular
2. Stable or trending up in popularity.
3. Not too much competition.
4. Has enough products on Aliexpress
… let’s test it for viability.
Testing a Niche
Go to Google Keyword Planner Tool and enter the main keyword/s for your chosen niche. Then check the chart below.
Number of Searches
Viability
Above 100K
TOO much competition. Forget it!
50K to 100K
Heavy competition. Will work with lots of promotion and ads. Maybe.
5K to 50K
PERFECT! Go for it!
Below 5K
The niche is all yours, but not enough customers. Forget it.
Google Keywords only has three ranges. In the Related Keywords list, if there are a lot of 10K to 100K searches, it’s the same as 50K-100K above. If it’s 1K to 10K, it’s the same as the 5K to 50K above.
ALL this info and MORE is freely available in the Alidropship's Blogs and Knowledge Base. I suggest ALL people complaining of no sales spend a few hours at least studying those two resources.
you can't just go ahead and pick a product and create a page around it.
You're exactly right. That's what the "Choosing a niche" post above is all about.
