Anyone with or that has had an on-line store

Question

How did it go/how is it going? Was it hard to start up? What if any websites did you use to help you. How do you do the tax stuff? If you no longer have it, why?

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

I have an online store.  Cost me $1200 in franchise/setup, and $100 a month admin and hosting.  Was pretty easy.  I incorporated the business and that cost another $750.  I use Yahoo and Google to advertise.  I'm a CPA so I do the tax stuff myself.  

I am slowly building the business up with new customers, though it is still not profitable.  Most business take 3-5 years to break even and I am just completing the second year.

Answer 2

I had an online Store and it was very expensive to set up. Click bank is a good place to start. They give you a link to a tax ID. The truth is that all the work you put into that type of marketing doesn't give much money return. There are many great opportunities in this day and age you just need to be involed with the right company.   Here's what you look for in any business or online company.

1. If you decide to sell a product it has to be in high demand and be very low in cost.

2. You don't want a fly by night company......look for an established business with 5, 10, 20 or 30 years in business.

3. Find a publicly traded company to work for that's on the New York stock exchange.

4. Does the company have growth every year that's it's been in business??? It should or that's not the direction you want to go in

There are incredible opportunities online if you follow these steps.....And yes, there is a home business and a company with all of these credentials. If interested drop me a line at http://www.greatjoboption.com/jheard39/
