Ecommerce sites have brought billions of dollars into the world economy over the last few years. It seems that every brick and mortar type business has a website that sells their products as well. This is the way of the world now and the benefits from this can be listed on and on for some time. Developing an ecommerce website without a brick and mortar business can be a bit tricky because of the shear risk factor involved.
Getting an ecommerce website up and immediately start getting traffic is pretty much a pipe dream for most of us, because in order to get traffic, you need to have exposure. And as we all know, or should know, exposure is gained with either a lot of work and time, or a lot of money. Developing an ecommerce website from scratch and getting it to the point of being successful is a process I am currently involved in and would like to share my experiences with.

The good thing about the internet is that when it comes to products or services that you wish to market, the possibilities are just about endless. Unlike brick and mortar businesses where a lot of regional products are sold, the internet contains items that can be sold everywhere. For example, if you were to build a brick and mortar location to sell snow skiing equipment, somewhere that does not have any slopes would probably be a poor location choice. However, on the internet this can be totally different. Whatever you decide to sell, you only need to have an inventory available and hopefully a bit of knowledge about the items so that you are able to answer any questions that your potential customers may have.
Once a product has been decided upon you will be ready to begin the process of building the site, which is only the beginning of a long journey that is not for someone that thinks it is easy. For this part some of the decisions involved include, doing it yourself or hiring it out, purchasing a store builder program or doing it with HTML, etc. The answers to these questions rely on the knowledge, fortitude, and knowhow of the individual or group. Personally, I chose to use a store builder for my sites because of the ease in which I could input my ideas and material without having to spend hours figuring out a script or a code. There are many store builders available on the internet that have various levels of difficulty for developing sites, but each of these will come at a price so it will be up to the individual to whether to spend the money on one of them or having their site built.
These first couple of steps seem to be easy, but the research and decisions made here will be what determines how difficult you're your path to success will be in the future. Many companies on the internet will tell you it can be done over night and you will be drinking little umbrella drinks in a week, but for those of you not that gullible there is still a lot more work to do.
