Creating an Online Store

I created an Store in my website a couple of years ago with Web Studio Software and it was very easy. I just imported a picture of the product I was selling, added a description and added a shopping cart.

Quite often your web host will also provide you with the option of shopping carts. A lot of ECommerce sites use Paypal which is very easy to use. Yahoo also has a shopping Cart Program.

You may want to build a store for 3 reasons:

1. You wholesale products that you want to begin selling online through your own website.

2. Set up an Ebay Store.

3. Sell other people's products (Affiliates).

The most important aspect of having an Estore is to have enough traffic directed to your site. This can be achieved by:

• Free Listings - search engine optimisation.


• Google Adwords - Pay for your traffic


• Other Directory listings for your type of business. ie if you are a furniture retailer there may be a directory for furniture stores. These are sometimes free and sometime a small yearly subscription fee.
