I need to find the best, free, easiest to build website available.?

December 12th, 2012 1 comment

Ok. 3 parts:

1. Where can I find the easiest to use, highest quality, free website builder?
2. Are there any free website builders that I can link to paypal to sell stuff online that are secure?
3. If I want to sell photography, how do I post pics for sale but secure them so that not just anyone online can copy and paste them?

Best answers get the points. Thanks

You may want to consider using AT&T Yahoo if yahoo doesn’t provide the small business link to you from your homepage anyhow.

While the service isn’t free… I know, you said *free*, it provides a great deal of website services that are incredibly easy to use, very secure, and very customizable. It provides you with all of the statistics you will be interested in as a commercial provider. Paypal is as easy to setup as clicking on the paypal link provided by their website.

The reason I suggest this is because I’ve been using it myself for a great deal of time. It’s been pretty cheap, (It costs less than $50.00), provides you with your own domain name, is simple to use, and submits your site to the google search engine, and the yahoo search engine for free.

Go ahead and check out the site I’m working on listed in the source list. I haven’t had to touch the code for this site yet, and it obviously meets all of my needs.

While there are free builders out there, I simply feel that it would be less productive for you to not take advantage of all of the services provided by AT&T Yahoo. It’s just too simple to pass up.

If you’re not interested in AT&T, perhaps because you have your own provider, consider finding out what that provider offers. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, as one who wants to provide commercial products, it’s worth getting a domain name and using a 3rd parties set of tools to set up that domain, even if it costs a little money. If you were a regular user, (i.e. not commercial), I would suggest ebay, or an ebay store, or any of the other free sites you can get via a simple google search.

Your provider will help you.

Good Luck with your endeavor!

How can I increase the profitability of my online retail business?

June 26th, 2012 2 comments

Hey folks… I have a small business selling second-hand vinyl records (mainly dance music) on eBay and now on another site called Discogs. I have been going for 3-4 months now and April was my best month, but I am still not making enough to live on.

Sales are quite slow and eBay fees and postal costs are biting. Competition is fierce and the whole process is very arduous and time-consuming. I notice big sellers are charging higher prices for the same items but I feel I have to keep prices competitive to make sales… Anbody got any thoughts? Discount for the best answer! Thanks.

Find the right product and sell it at the right price.

I don’t buy any 2nd hand vinyl records, so wouldn’t be interest even with discount.

You may increase your business by diversifying – sell health DVDs as well – perhaps, or latest pop CDs as well.

Good Luck

• Product you can get at wholesale price
Pick a product that you can get at wholesale price – yes, you might think that iPad is a HOT product to sell on eBay but you can’t get it at wholesale price unless you can afford to spend several hundred thousand dollars on inventory, so iPad is NOT HOT product for your business.
• Great sales copy and description
Great sales copy and description — what features and benefits are important and will trigger people to bid and buy from you, should you offer free shipping, alternative payment options, money back guarantee?

Information Regarding Cost Of Selling On Ebay

November 13th, 2011 No comments

Finding quality products to sell is the key to continuing success. Keeping a pipeline of low cost, fast moving items to sell is also a must. Sometimes it takes weeks of searching to find a load of quality electronics or computer equipment that you can sell online at double your cost. I’m sure you agree that this is a very good rate of return. The problem is that you may have to outlay several thousand dollars to buy the inventory. If you are new to online selling and would like to pick up high quality, easy to ship products for pennies, read on.

Did you know that 95% of books that have been published are no longer in print? What does that mean to you as an online seller? It means that you do not have to compete with traditional booksellers. I have seen books that would not catch anyone’s eye fetch over $80.
This is because it is an out of print book even though it might be only a few years old.
