Anyone started an online business?

Oh yeah, and I almost forgot to mention the 80 plus hrs that my partner and I put into SEO (Search engine OPtimization) and adding new products, articles, linking, getting one way links, and more each week. If you half ass a website, you will get half ass results. Don't waste your time if you are not willing to work your ass off.

El Dandy, you actually stock the item you sell, or is it a blind ship type thing?

My pimp set it up for me for free. He lets me keep 7% profits too.
Hope this helps

is this business someting you'd do if u weren't making any money?

if no - then i'd make my money elsewhere - where you will also enjoy it.

otherwise it'll all be pain, stress - and if u don't start reaping the rewards of profits - you'll hate it.

most dot-coms were started by nerds, who loved computers and weren't relaly caring too much about millions whent hey started it. they just wanted to see theri idea become a reality. that was pleasure enough. then they were paired with businessmen who made them their money. microsoft was started by nerds.

i make movies. if i don't make millions. eh, who cares. i still enjoy what i do.

so be careful if all u want to do is do all that, just for a 'chance' to make money. 99.9% of online entreprenerus have given up by 5 years and made little.

this is why i can't stand and avoid entrepreneurs. while i applaud their drive and energy - i desire to be around people who do things for love & passion; rather than profits. the latter are always stressed out, and focused on what u can do for them.

I keep some things in stock. I can order from my vendors(over 100) and have inventory in a day or 2. I probably keep 5g of inventory at any given time.
