Finally, we need to open up store for business: market store and bring in some customers to buy products. As mentioned earlier, there is no-cost marketing that can be done. For example, site can be submitted to primary search engines, adding store listing to online directories that are relevant to product or service, and exchanging store links with other sites that are similar but not direct competition.

What are we selling? When your starting out with a new product, try to stay with a unique product that is light in weight, as shipping costs are often overlooked in starting up an online business. If you already have existing products to sell, revisit shipping costs and see where you can find savings.

I find most business owners sell what they are most passionate about. Some of your present hobbies or interests could sell as end product, as items purchased by other people. Some of most successful online stores are a result of one's passion and desire to share their dream with others and if done logically and thoughtfully with a good web developer, can result in financial rewards at a low investment cost through an online store.

One person shows off their newly acquired goods and says how fabulous your site is to 2 or 3 people and then those people tell 2 or 3 people so on and on it goes.

Before soon you have a loyal customer base.

Remember that it takes a long time to build a solid reputation but only one mistake to destroy it.

It takes a lot of hard work and sometimes you have to swallow your pride and say " customer is always right", we all know that is not always case but even an awkward customer has mellow moments and friends (well most of them do).
