There are 3 main things you need to do in order to be successful
with an online business.
Prepare, Obtain & Promote
Prepare You need to prepare and establish a website. This
includes a domain name, hosting account, website pages , a
shopping cart and a merchant account. When you sign up with
Small Hosting Plans, you receive a domain name for 2 years,
website template, and a shopping cart that is already enabled to
accept PayPal as your merchant account and Checks. You are also
able to upgrade the cart if you would like to use any one of
over 100 other merchant accounts that are available.
Obtain You need to obtain products to sell on your site. There
are 5 main ways that people and businesses acquire products that
are sold on their websites. On my own websites, I do a mixture
of all of the below. Buy items in bulk at wholesale prices and
then resell for a profit.
Cons: Usually the setbacks for this method are that a) people
with small home-based businesses do not have the capital
required to make large enough purchases to make a high profit
and b) there is not space enough to store these large purchases
in a person's home or small office.
Solution: The solution to this can be found in the "Light Bulk
Wholesale Directory" found at
http://www.successfulwahm.com/lbd/light-bulk.asp This directory
is filled with companies who will sell you smaller bulk, still
at a wholesale price. This allows for you to make a profit and
have room for the items in your home or office before they sell.
Also, this same company offers the Market Research Wizard which
is simply an amazing tool to use when deciding if a particular
product will sell or not online. They offer a free trail
version, so I urge you to test it out. Market Research Wizard
can be found here:
