How To Get Started Selling Online
A lot of people ask us how they can get started with an online business. Here's what you do.
Start by creating your online store. There are lots of ways to do this:
- a hand-coded website and products you ship directly
- an easy, point-and click site, with automated shopping cart
- a site maintained by a hired webmaster, optionally having your products drop-shipped for you
- a customizable mini-site within a larger site, like eBay or Amazon.
All of these methods are great for their own reasons. We like the eBay Stores method because it's easy to set up, and with eBay, you are showered with promotional opportunities. They give you your own web store at your own web address, and a bunch of other goodies you didn't even know you needed (but you'll like 'em!). eBay Stores is part of eBay, so you can be sure they know what they're doing with online selling. Just jump on in, don't look back - you'll be ready to sell online before you know it. They can even help you with finding products to put on your website, and finding out what's popular.
We can recommend excellent web design services that can handle all of your design (or RE-design) needs. Just ask us.
We can also help you with getting an 800 number for your business - it'll be your lifeline!
