    I'm wondering how one would get started in e-comerse. What product to sell and how to sell it. How would one go about setting one up and setting up a way to sell the product.

    Im looking into writing an e-book on a topic im interested in and i know alot about, that can help people. Im simply looking for a place to start, can anyone give me a jump in the right direction?

    I dont ask for help on this forum very often, so please dont flame me or anything .

    (Again, sorry if this is the wrong section.)

    Like any business, there is a lot of hit of miss with a 95% failure rate. Select a product that you think that there is a market for, and study up on it.

    A good place to start is by looking at the keyword search volume of tangible products. Then you need a storehost, marketing plan, and inventory (or dropship). After one or two years and you are still not making money, then start thinking about ending the venture.
