Langleygirl the first thing you want to do is create/open a PAYPAL account, which means you need to create/open a Gmail google account with a colorful business name like, flowerboxgifts@gmail.com or something that might interest you as a business. once you've set up your paypal account you will have the online ability to receive money as your personal payment gateway, plus paypal has many options and free tools at your disposal and online help.

after you've done that you need to set up an Ebay account using a separate yahoo email address so you have security to keep hackers and fishers from getting near your paypal account professor

go into ebay and type in something that personally interests you like jewelry or cloths and watch and learn how the auctions work and join the ebay forums and groups and learn from the experts,because these people are getting wealthy on ebay and you can too. its cheap easy and fun, and its from the privacy of your home.

if you have a good digital camera and know where good flea markets are at? you can go photograph items of interest from the flea markets without buying them, then run ebay auctions for 7 days and hopefully sell the photographed item before some customer at the flea market buys it and screws up your auction uh oh ....your ebay customer pays you through your paypal instantly and the shipping and handling charge, plus your ebay and paypal fees and it was all for free and you made money applause applause applause

I'm an ebay emerald buyer and seller, so i can tell you to forget anything else online, for a moment and stay focused on ebay and paypal to learn and profit from until you get inspired enough to take all that further wink

hope this helps and good luck teddybear

In response to: I am wondering if anyone has ever started and ran their own online business or had their own small business venture that they've pursued? If so, how easy was it to start, how do you conduct research to make sure it was a good business venture?

Any other points would be valuable as well.

I've been asked what I've thought about doing an online business, but I honestly have no clue to where to even start, but its something that I thought about doing at various times. I figure the amount of energy and time I'm putting into my job, I'd maybe be better in investing into my own ventures.

I am thinking it would be a product oriented business as I don't possess any specialized service skills ...... although in looking up a link that Venus suggested about home sitters that particular website is for sale. I made me wonder how many others were for sale that were already at least started and how easy it would be simply take over.


And should you ever wish to expand beyond the realm of E-Bay,...to "take it to the streets" (and this would depend on the nature of your business) there are advantages (and yes, disadvantages) to becoming a registered business, be it a sole proprietorship or going corporate. For your reading pleasure,..



So when can I expect to see shares available on the TSE?cheers
