Hi Voice467!

The world of e-commerce is certainly exciting- you should see some of the latest articles at www.internetretailer.com about how e-commerce continues to rise. I'd bookmark that site and sign up for their newsletters- it's a great resource for all Internet retailers.

Regarding on how to get started-- the first thing you need to find is the right e-commerce platform- Yahoo! Small Business is definitely one of the best and most reliable- and that's the platform my company specializies in. Yahoo! Merchant Solutions start at $39.99 per month...

For more information on starting an on-line business, you may want to check out these pages:

Good luck, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Go to http://www.TheBlueKingdom.com and look at the hosting packages and deals on domain names. Also, the marketing tools offered (Traffic Blazer, Express Email Marketing, etc.) are very helpful for your new online business.
