How to start an retail online business what are the steps? Also is more cost?

Question

effective to build your own website or pay someone else to do it?

Answer 1

it's much more chepear to build it your self. if you pay someone else it will cost you a lot. there are websites that give you a very simple to modify template, and if you are in a low budget you can start with that. i think yahoo is a very good deal if you are trying to open a online store. you'll need a shopping cart and yahoo provides everything you need. you'll also need to decide what you're going to sell and look for wholesalers. (beware of scams! check very carefully who you deal with) once you got all this, start promoting your site in search engines like google, yahoo and others...
