| The following is a
compilation of the most frequently asked
questions on the Online Store Business Course. |
| |
| Do we provide the products? |
| No. We are not the distributor for these products. We
provide an extensive list of the best distributors, drop-shippers and
wholesalers in the U.S. Our partner
distributors are the companies which provide the products, pricing, inventory
and drop-ship services for our resellers. The Online Store Business Course will
show you how to get signed up with distributors as quickly as possible. |
|
|
| Is this an affiliate program
or an actual business start-up? |
|
This is not an affiliate program. This is an actual
business start-up. You will be starting your own online store business from your
home or office. You will be registering your business name and obtaining your
sales tax ID with your state. This website will show you how. |

The Online Store
Business Course shows you how to start and open
your own online store as quickly and as easily
as possible with many options to choose from.
For example, you can either:
A. Build and open your online store with a simple web design
program such as Microsoft Expression Web, Adobe Dreamweaver, Go Live etc. (We
provide a list of the best and most easiest web development programs to learn
and use). And you’ll also learn how to build your own website as well.
B. Build and open your online store using a professional website template
from
TemplateMonster.com to give your store a
professional look and feel. And all you’ll have to do is edit the website
template with Expression Web or Dreamweaver. Then insert images and product text
onto the page. Link the Buy button to your shopping cart and you’re done.
C. Open your online store with any ecommerce package provided
by your web host provider. All web host providers offer complete ecommerce
solutions. Or you can purchase a complete ecommerce solution for just $15 per
month from Volusion, Shopify and others as well. Then all you’ll
have to do is insert product images and insert product text from within the
admin section of the program.
D. Hire a professional website developer. If you don’t have the
time to build your online store then you can hire a professional web developer
to build the store for you. We provide a list of the top website developer’s at
the most affordable prices. You’ll also learn how to choose the best website
developer for your business as well. (All of this information is included in a
detailed manner within the Online Store Business Course.) |
| |
| How much time will I have to put into my business? |
| You can start off part-time working part-time hours but
eventually it will turn into a full time job, just as with any 9-5 retail
business. However, most of your time will go into the initial start-up phase of
your business; i.e. setting up your business, building your online store, adding
products to your store, marketing your store, etc. Then from there it's just a
matter of taking and placing orders and marketing and maintaining your website. |
| |
| Can I still benefit from this if I already have a business? |
| Yes. You can still use and
benefit from this tips on this website even if you already have your own
business. The Online Store Business Course provides valuable information that
most Internet retailers are not aware of such as more distributors, access to
more products, ecommerce resources, advanced internet marketing strategies and
more. |
| |
| What will my start-up costs be? |
You can start your online store business with hardly any
start-up cost at all.
You can register your business name for as little as $10 to $50 or more.
You can obtain your sales tax license for as little as $8 or free.
You can register your www.domain-name for only $12 per year.
You can obtain web hosting for $4 per month with shopping cart included.
You can obtain a complete ecommerce solution for only $15 per month.
You can obtain your own payment processing system for free.

Check with your local
business registration office. |
| |
| How long will it take to get my business up and
running? |
| That depends on how much time and effort you put into
starting your business. You can register your business and obtain your sales tax
license within 2 weeks or less. And during that time you can be working on your
Internet storefront as well. Building a “super-store” (selling all product
categories) can be done in less than a month, while building an online store
focused on a niche market can be completed within 2 weeks or less. And this is
just one of the reasons why we encourage resellers to focus on a niche product
market. |
| |
| How will I promote and advertise my website? |
| In the Online Store Business Course, you’ll learn how to use
the most effective, internet marketing strategies to bring targeted traffic to
your online store each and every day. You’ll learn how to promote, market and
advertise your store to help get you off to a fast and profitable start with our
step-by-step guides on search engine marketing, pay-per-click marketing, text
link advertising, banner advertising, email marketing, newsletter marketing,
press release marketing and more. |
| |
| Do I have to pay for the product up front? |
| No. After the customer orders and pays you for the product,
then you can order the product from the distributor. The distributor will then
ship the product directly to your customer with your business name on the box.
Products can be paid for via credit card, PayPal debit card, EFT: Electronic
Funds Transfer, direct debit or C.O.D. Distributors may offer multiple payment
options and credit terms as well. Inside the Online Store Business Course you'll
learn how to pay for products using your customers’ money each and every time. |
| |
| Who will provide support for my customers? |
| When selling technology products such as computer hardware
and software, technical support is provided by the manufacturer and not the
reseller. All technical support and warranty issues for computer products are to
be handled directly by the manufacturer of the product. |
| |
| International: Can I do
this outside the U.S.? |
| This business opportunity is
for U.S. residents only since all of the
distributors are U.S. based distributors.
However, there may be some distributors who may
be willing to work with resellers in Canada,
U.K. and other overseas countries as well.
Furthermore, some computer and electronics
distributors such as Ingram Micro and Tech Data
have large international operations located
across the globe. You can contact the
distributors directly and ask if they are able
to work with you in your country. In regards to
starting and registering your business, this
business course provides instructions on
starting a business within the U.S. only. You
will have to do your own research on how to
start a business in your country. However, just
about every other aspect on this website will
work for most countries as it does within the
U.S. |
