    Anyone here own an eStore? If yes, mind sharing with me what is the process looks like? I knew we need web hosting, domain and payment gateway, if I am into selling physical products. Just wonder anything else that I am missing? Please let me know what else I needed for this type of site. Thanks

    You have to be very careful before creating a store. There are many details you have to pay attention to. Don’t believe in simple and cheap solutions. Your store needs a safe system.

    I advise you to first of all learn internet marketing very well, before opening a store, otherwise you won’t make any sales.

    You need a lot of traffic, and you need many different promotional methods. Before creating a store, you have to be sure that you will get traffic from hungry buyers who will easily make a buying decision. You need the right audience and the right products. This is not a simple matter.

    Your first store is going to be a bit of a pain to set up. Simply because you are learning so much while you're doing it & you're setting up so many accounts. After you learn the process & have all of your accounts set up, you can easily set one up within a week. We have actually knocked out ecommerce stores inside of 1 or 2 days in the past.

    Here's a basic list of what you'll need:

    Product line (with at least 1 good supplier)
    Domain name
    Hosting account
    Ecommerce platform
    Toll-free number
    SSL Certificate (sometimes included with hosting account)
    Merchant account
    PayPal account (we like to take both credit cards & paypal to give customers options)

    As you can tell, most of these can be re-used for all future stores, and that's why it's much more challenging & time-consuming to get your first store up. You'll be at a HUGE advantage if you already have some IM skills & experience (i.e. SEO knowledge or PPC knowledge).

    Feel free to PM me with any specific questions. I've been involved in over 40 successful ecommerce stores. I currently own a company that operates an entire chain of ecommerce stores.

    Good luck!
