What are some ideas to starting an online business, such as with SMC?

I have been considering looking into the home business program SMC. My family is in need of money and I thought I might give SMC a try. I requested the info package today, and am waiting for that in the mail. I realize that it costs $400 to start, and I have been able to get financial help from a relative who's agreed to pay the upfront cost.

How exactly does SMC work? Do they just give me a website and I sell their products or what? Do I have to make my own website. Can I choose to make my own website (I am a web designer). Is SMC a scam?

I really like the idea of selling products on-line with my own website store, however I am not sure if it's a good idea.

What are other options besides SMC?

What about just starting my own on-line store to sell merchandise without partnering with SMC? How would I go about doing that and where would I get the merchandise? What type of license is required in the US?

I am eager to get started and was hoping for the best options. Are there places online to buy discounted merchandise that I can later sell for profit?

Any bit of advice would be extremely helpful and if you could provide past/current experiences that would benefit me greatly.

Thanks!

Just think about the math for a minute. Why would SMC sell you whole sale merchandise for you to market on line, when they could do it themselves and pay someone minimum wage to do it? If you are not going to make much over minimum wage why do it? And that's just the best possible scenario, because it could be that you make much less, that's just their break point, the minimum, where it would be worth it to sell the program.

No one is out there giving away money ... Many are out there scamming people and taking their money with false promises or impressions.

You would do better to go out and find a product yourself that you can get for less than it sells on line for. That is merchandising and it's been going on for thousands of years, if not longer.

PLEASE THINK REAL HARD AND GET SOME ADVICE BEFORE SPENDING THE $400 WITH SMC. I HAVE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND HELP YOU IN ANYWAY I CAN. THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS THAT I BELIEVE YOU WILL ENJOY MUCH MORE AND MAKE A SERIOUS INCOME WITH.
