Unless you know how to build your own website with a shopping cart program to make the sell I would think twice by start a online business. Having some company build you a site will be a lot of money plus they will most likely want monthly fees too. If your store is not making you money you still have to keep paying the company’s fees and if you plan to use a search eng they cost money too. There’s to many way to loses money this way. That’s why I sign up as affiliate sales rep to a company’s website.

This is an online forum (it is free and I do not own it) that has many people who can help you out:

It is primarily for Internet Marketers (IM) but the amount of information about online businesses is humongous.

Here is some of my opinions:

+ There is too much information out their. You can go broke buying stuff that will help you. Some is good, some is bad. Be careful, but I gather that you already know this.
+ The biggest thing is to start something and continue working it until it sparks. Then continue until there is fire. Then continue until it is aflame. then continue until it is a raging blaze. In other words, stick with something and don’t give up until you know for a fact that it is dead. Too many people get impatient with things and move on. That is probably the reason most people don’t succeed.
