Storesonline, Plan for an ecommerce Website.

Getting set up to create your own internet business selling products online can seem like an overwhelming project, but it actually just involves following a proven process mixed in with some creative ingenuity and the discipline to see the project through as well as using the services of Storesonline. All of this starts with creating a plan of action and then executing.

First you need to figure out what you want to sell. To verify your options, you have to do some research to see if there is a demand for this product or service and whether it is currently being sold successfully online.

Check your local discount stores and large online chains like Amazon to see if they already sell this product or ask Storesonline. Unless your product has some unique or valuable feature to distinguish it from others, your customers are going to go to big discount stores, or buy online from a large retailer.

After this research is complete, if you are still excited about the opportunity of online business, you will next need to establish your business (choosing your business 'type' - sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership, corporation, etc.). Storesonline will be there through the whole process with you. You will need to choose a business type that gives you the best tax benefit, and the most protection against liability (if your product or service may expose you to legal action).

You will get a Tax ID number when you set up your business. This number allows you to collect state sales tax and establishes your ability to buy products wholesale so you can re-sell these products on your web site.
