Welcome, @TheBrickBird! I did a lot of research before I opened shop - the biggies seem to be to have enough variety to show up when people do their wish lists (e.g., thousands of unique lots if you are ONLY selling non-rare stuff), offer exemplary customer service (ALWAYS!!! <s>), and price reasonably competitively.
Some people do very well specializing in specific areas only and carve out a niche, such as Minifigs, new parts only, or Bionicle. :-)
Those are just a few quick thoughts...
Outstanding customer service pays for itself - you sleep great at night, plus about 20% of them will leave you great feedback, which will also help grow your store over time. :-)

* New Lego or used Lego ?
* minfigs or bricks or both?
* focus on international or your own county?
In all cases, the more you list the more you sell
