I wantto start an internet shop or something, I need some good ideas so I can start.. Also, does anyone know how to create web pages??? :) Much of the information that has been provided in the answers is great. Gaining knowledge of the art of designing a top notch website is important. There are many ways that you can go about learning the proper way. It is very possible to go about it on your own, yet it is much easier to learn from people who have done it. I chose a web host that offered a step by step program to guide me through the process of building my site. They personally have an Alexa ranking of 847, so I knew they could teach me the way to build a site that would get targeted traffic.
There are a few great web hosts that will guide you for free and just charge you a low annual fee. You can search for one that suits your needs. If you wish, you can send me a message with questions about the one that I chose. You can also read more in My Yahoo Answers Profile page.
BEST WISHES! there are several free tutorials on line by searching 'how to create a webpage'.
As far as ideas on what to offer in a shop, you need to find a real 'different niche' because everybody is doing this now and once you spend the hours creating your site, you still will need traffic and I can't even begin to tell you how difficult the competition is for getting people to their sites.
~I do wish you luck
~jennifer You need to know what is internet business? How it operates? Dark side of internet marketing and why people fail to make money online and how you can avoid it?
Internet - a medium like newspaper , tv , radio. It exist to provide information.
Internet marketing is just a process of selling online.
Then you need to aware that the "Dark" side of internet marketing. All these you can get to read some internet review reports. One good place to know is http://www.wahwatchdog.org/
this just at as a guide to let you know better there are hundreds of products or programs available in the internet marketing.
The ultimate C.A.S. H formula is simple and easy to follow:
1) Check up a cash producing market.
To check what products are most profitable and have
demand. Clickbank market place is one of the good
place you can check how popularity of the product. A
with very high profit margin but no demand, it is pointless
to promote.
2) Acquire a product to sales as affiliate.
Many ways to acquire products to sale. But the most
easier way is affiliate. Affiliate mean we agree to sale a
product from product owner, and the owner agree to pay
a certain percentage as commission for us to promote the
owner's products.
Clickbank market place also a good place to join as
affiliate to promote and can start internet business
immediate without having own product.
3) Set-up a cash producing website. This can be done either
by subscribe own hos with website with fees or using free
resouces such as blogging.
4) Hoot up to multiple sources of traffic/coustomer.
To bring traffic to the website is a key to determine
the successful of the website. A best website without
targeted traffic to visit, it just a website. So many ways you
can generate traffic, such as traffic exchange; either paid
or free, pay per click to bring targeted traffic to the web
and etc.
Once you have all the ideas above you can start you business immediately and know what you are doing u have to improve ur business tacktics...u create popularity on ur web site .... to promote ur web site in search engine optimization
more details just log on to try www.shopster.com
They have everything set up for you including plugging you into ready to go products.
You have to choose what you want to sell, and set your prices.
some items have low mark-up. some high...so...you will make very little profit on some things, more on others.
Shopster does all the work of negotiating deals with wholesalers, for you to resell the products.
The web templates are customizable.
The trick with this, is to pick a specialty and go with it...if you try to create a little superstore and sell a bit of everything, your business will fail miserable...there are too many BIG established online superstores in the world already...you cannot compete.
look at some of the featured shops, they have on display, so you can get some ideas.
You have to register your store name at the beginning, so you'll want a pretty good idea what yopur going to do before hand.
I have a shopster store www.aeda.us I don't really market it heavily, but I do use direct mailon occasion, and online educational forums to spread the word about my shop. This shop is also a way to direct attention to another educational project of mine, through a newsletter.
No matter what you do, you have to put effort into getting and keeping customers...that is really the whole point of any business. Don't just rely on search engines...people can easily do price comparisons, and go somewhere cheaper.
You want to add value to your customer....have informative helpful information on your website, so people depend on you for somehting other than the product.
Good Luck This is what I was taught to look for in any business
Business needs to be an Emerging technology or new industry
Products must be Consumable (repeat business)
Products must be Patented (protects you from consumers getting the same thing somewhere else)
Products must be Third-Party Validated (I can say anything about my product, but what does others say?)
Company must be reputable
Consider your markets
How much is your investment
How much can you make?
I have not found very many companies that meet all this criteria, but I have found one. My business is in the Wellness Industry, predicted to be the next trillion dollar industry. The products are consumable, and patented, and MIT has named the technology behind our flagship product as one that "Would Change The World!" (third party validation)
The company is a 14 year old, debt free "hi-tech" nutrition company with $400 million in wholesale sales for 2006. Named #5 in Forbes Top 200 in 2006 and #6 Business Week Top 100 in 2005. We are a global company. (and there is LOTS more....)
The market is every person on earth needs these nutrients! (This is what MIT says, Science Magazine, etc...)
The compensation plan won the Direct Selling Association "Success" award for the best direct selling compensation plan in the industry in 2005.
If you want more information on this technology, company and products-- Business, email me. There are a lot things you need to plan.. the most important things is your product... wat types of product do you wan to sell... i have cracking this part for a quite a while..
the next time is you need to think is tht... wat is your stock turnover...are you going to keep your stock for long..
How sure tht ppl will buy from you...
This is not discouring you but some points tht need to take into account.
I'm planning to set up a online shop.. these are few things tht come across my mind... let me know you if you have any.. This site will take you through all the stages from planning to researching to building to promoting a website of any type.

Just have a dig around but you should probably start with working out why you want to make a site. If you can work that out, it might help you figure out what direction you want to go with it.
