The 3 things you need to do to have a successful online business

The P O P Method of Success by Natalie Williams http://www.SmallHostingPlans.com 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.
