Thanks so much for you advice all is taken into consideration.

Re: How to start an online retail store

NatOnline — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:35:55 GMT

Yahoo store is a good choice, as far as http://worldwidebrands.com, that's another good choice, but becareful of fees and how much percentage you will get from vendors. Some are taking a basic fee for each order you may have.

If you are planning to dropship, the best advise I can give you is: Don't sell small items, it is always better to get 10-15% on $150 then $20

Now if you are planning to buy your own stock, make sure you don't deal with a midle man instead of reel manufacturers or import companies. Also don't buy large quantity of products, be prudent to avoid big stock that you don't sell for whatever reasons.

Good Luck

I've said it before, and people probably think im spaming, but Wealthy Affiliates is the best place to learn how to start a business. Whether its self, affiliated, or retail in your case they will TEACH you how to do so. You get access to TOOLS that you would otherwise have to pay thousdands of dollars to get. They offer free web hosting, so once you get your domain, you can use their Site Rubrix to build and maintain your site.

To learn internet business, this is the best resource. The forums are unbeliavaible when it comes to help from other members. They WANT YOU TO SUCCEED! You can ask anyone anything and they will provide feedback or advice.

The best part is the learning and teaching. They have an 8 week action plan that goes over everything from beating google adwords, to what keywords to use for your site.

If you just want to take a look my url is... http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/

If you choose to sign up, contact me first. My e-mail is absolutegreatness@gmail.com.

Again, I cannot stress how useful this site is.

best of luck!
