What kind of store should I start? ...And how?

    I have a premium domain, pbstore.com that I would like to turn into a store. Genius, isn't it?

    I'm actually stuck between what kind of store to make it. I've looked into abbreviations for PB and found some interesting ones. I bought the domain originally to develop a paintball store, but I've been with paintball for over 5 years now and want to try a different market.

    Here's what I was considering:

    Personal Business store

    Paper Back store

    Pit Bull store

    Paint Brush store

    Any other suggestions are welcome. Which one should i choose?


    My other question is this... What do I do to start this store? I want to dropship or run the site via affiliation. I don't have the time to sell my own products. How do I get started no matter what area the store is going to focus on?


    Thanks,

    Kyle

    I have to recommend paintball store as well, that would be a great keyword domain for it.

    What about Stuff Toys as in 'Pooh Bear' or Teddy Bears ? Or say 'Protein Bars' and other health related products ;)

    Ok, paintball would be considered more I guess. What about setting up a store and stuff? Who should I dropship from?

    Amazon might be a good start.

    I think you should go with peanut butter. I love peanut butter and i'm sure there's others out there that do too.

    when I read pb, the first things that came to my mind were
    - paintball
    - power book
    - peanut butter

    paintball would be good but there are a zillion paintball stores out there. peanut butter might be easier. would have to do some research on that one...

    cheers

    Yea that's why I don't want to. I actually think i can blow 90% of the online stores away with some time and work, but there may be a better market.

    Are you fellas serious about peanut butter? lol. I would consider it you know...
