Selling On eBay
This isn't what you think. I'm not talking about gathering up your old miscellaneous stuff from around your house and listing it on eBay. I'm talking about starting a successful online business using one of the largest marketplaces in history. eBay handles sales for over $158,000,000 every day. Let these experts show you how to get your piece of the pie.


STARTING OUT
Get Your Business License
In many cases you will have to have your own business license in order to legally own your own business. Do you have one? Do you know if you need one?

Finding Your Niche
It's important to find the right niche for your website with the right customers who are looking for what you have to offer. You can't accidentally sell the wrong thing to the wrong customers. And you don't want to enter a large market with a lot of competition.

Domain Name Registration
It's important to register a name for your website, so no one else can take it from you. Also, your website won't work without it. Find out how you can get a domain name quickly and cheaply.

Website Hosting
If you have already registered a domain name, but you don't know how to get your website up on the internet, then you need to start by finding someone to host your website. This page has some website hosting suggestions.

Website Design
Do you need help designing your website? Here are some tools to help you learn to do it yourself, or find someone to give you a hand.

Work At Home Opportunities
You've heard all about ways to make tons of money in just a few hours a day in front of your computer by filling out online surveys, or data entry jobs, or any other number of ways. But a lot of these are scams. This page can help you find out who you should and shouldn't trust with these so-called golden opportunities.


INTERMEDIATE
Shopping Cart Software
If you plan on selling items on your website, then you'll probably need to add a shopping cart program to automate the process. Here you'll find some help with shopping carts.

Merchant Accounts

Find a Dropshipper

Keyword Research
These tools will help you find what people are searching for on the internet. Use these to find out what type of website you want to start, or how to optimize your existing website to help you get the most visitors, and, of course, to find out what keywords to bid on the pay-per-click search engines.

Search Engine Optimization
There are many theories about how to get the highest search engine rankings, but they all have the same basic principal: make sure your website is optimized for the right keywords. This page will help you find the places to go to learn more about SEO.

Pay-Per-Click Search Engines
Using pay-per-click search engines is the best way to get your website listed quickly, rather than waiting for the organic search engines to find you. We recommend doing both, but some people prefer the pay-per-click method because they feel like they have more control over their site's listings. Fair enough.


ADVANCED
Writing Good Sales Copy
You may have designed the nicest looking site in history, but it won't make any difference if you don't add good sales copy. Good copywriting abilities can make all the difference in your sales conversions. You'll definitely want to learn more about this valuable skill.

Start Your Own Affiliate Program
A good affiliate program can help your business in a number of ways. Affiliates are people who recommend your products for you and get a commission from you in return for each sale that they recommend. This will help you reach a different customer base than you were reaching before, and it will help your search engine ranking by giving you more incoming links.

Make Money as an Affiliate
There are an incredible number of internet users who are making a living from home as affiliates by recommending products created by others. It's a great system for anyone who doesn't have or want a product to sell. There's a lot of money to be made this way, but there's also a lot of money to be lost this way. Make sure you're doing it right.

Email Management
Email can be one of the best ways to increase your profits when done properly. How much time do you waste reading, sorting and sending e-mails for your business? Find out how to properly manage all of your e-mail needs.

Adding Audio To Your Website
Adding audio to your site is a great way to improve your conversions. Let your visitors know that there is a real person behing the website by talking directly to them. It's a lot easier to do than you think.

Adding Video To Your Website
Adding video to your site is also a great way to improve conversions. And it's never been easer to do now that we have these websites and programs available to us.

Keep Yourself Up To Date
The internet, and online business specifically, changes fast. It can be difficult to keep up with the changes. And the last thing you want is to fall behind everyone else. This page will show you the best ways to stay informed.
