Just one-week later I had visitors on the site and have made sufficient
sales to give me a good margin of profit over my cost of goods as well as repaying a portion of the web the business world set-up costs.

So how did I perform this in such a short space of time? Has it been just luck, good judgement or maybe I've just discovered the secrets to setting up a successful small web based assigned task that I can pass on to you.

In truth I've just following a few simple fairway sense rules: keep the start-up costs to a minimum, design the site so its very easy for people to buy and be prepared to spend some money on promoting the site.

Mark Hockings of DesignerMark kindly designed original template for the site at very low cost. I've set to and learnt how to use Dreamweaver so I've been able to inner form all of the rest of the site close this template thus saving me at least a thousand pounds on what the cost could have been.

The most difficult thing has been to find a low cost ecommerce system that works effectively in processing the sales and offering you the support you need in the after-sales. In the end I opted for a shopping cart from Mal's e-commerce and the payment gateway services from 2checkout.com.

I've constantly credited that you need to have full control over the shopping process to be able to make the changes needed to get the best possible sales conversion ratio. Mal's e-commerce offers simple buy-now mountain that you can add anywhere on the site and link it to the shopping cart customised to look like you own site. The whole process is so simple.

The other great thing they have is M-Orders that is a downloadable restudy that will help you handle you hinder sales service. The of vital importance version of Mal's is free to
use, but if you want to link up to a payment gateway and take credit queen you'll need to pay a small monthly fee.

Promoting the site was much easier than I thought it would be. First I set up some Google Adwords that would arrive when people entered keywords relating to the products I am selling. So far this has cost me just over £30.

Then I invested £60 with Overture on their Sitematch
program. Sitematch seems to be very effective. Within days I had a good listing for the keywords in my website on most of the top search engines. These included: MSN, AOL, ASK, Yahoo and Excite.

So where has the profit
come from? In the first week I had 60 visitors on the site mostly from the Google Adwords. During this time I made 3 sales computation up to a total of nearly £200. whereas I've kept the
cost of the website so low any profit can go a long way when reinvested in the website. For instance just the profit from the sales in the first week are enough to pay the cost of the shopping cart and payment gateway services for a whole year!

So if you yearn to start your own
online business, but aren't sure you have the funds to start, don't despair it can be done. Do your research and look heels over head for reliable low-cost ways to develop you web business. So once the sales do start hoped-for in you'll have more money within call to reinvest and grow the taking a role faster.
