who knew! Barriers to Internet Store Online is a quick guide on how to open your internet shop. I give you the 10 steps you need to do to be ready for a successful launch and operation of your store on line. So for three months, I've had e-commerce open online. I never knew I would be facing obstacles to opening. "These are the steps I had taken to do so." This is what I had to do.
* First, this is where I was going to get from the store. I looked on the internet and I saw many different places. I then chose the place. It would be fully loaded with goods already. I said: "It would be great!" So I contacted them and bought my store. I had to choose, if I wanted it for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or a year. I chose the month. If I can not get it to work then I can cancel it. After the first month after I bought it for a year.
* Second, it is to choose a domain name. Then I had to decide which company I was going to get my domain name from. I chose a company that was recommended by a company that I bought from my store. You have a domain name for connecting to the store so people can find when they search on the Internet. You have to make sure the name is not taken anyone else. Then you have to make sure it relates to your website. So I choose a name that refers to my name, that is the internet, and that there are gifts to the shop.
* Thirdly, I had to get hosting. I chose a company that I bought my domain name from. They are hosting, too. They had a great package for $ 124.00. This is the domain name, the security of my domain name so that nobody can steal it and web hosting. You have to be careful who you choose to do so, because I do not want any down time. This is when someone goes to search your site and get a blank screen that says "Internet Explorer can not connect to the web site." This will cause you to lose money.
* Fourth, getting the SSL site. It is security to protect your data and your customer. SSL uses encryption to scramble information up so that hackers can not use it. This is one of the factors that customers look at before you even think about buying anything from you. It also lets your customers know you care about their safety, too!
* Fifth, price. You want your customers to have a fare trade. You want them to know that they can offer savings. Do you want to return, because you offer savings. But it can be tricky, because some people will think you're going out of business, but the reality is that your not.
* Sixth, how will people pay me? I chose a large company that my clients do not need to use your credit card information s. So that customers do not have to use your credit card information on my site, if they do not want. However, for customers who do not want to use their credit cards can be used by other companies who have chosen to process credit cards.
* Seventh, the delivery. I had to make sure that clients have to know how to follow and will quickly get their orders. When I place my order with my dropship company, they ship with the two most popular methods of delivery. They are both ground and air transport services.
* eighth, advertising. I do not know all the different ways you can advertise. Postcards, letters, hats, business cards, flyers, t-shirts, advertisements in newspapers, online ads. You get the picture. Oh yah, e-mail. There are many sites on the Internet. Try to get a site that lists all.
* Ninth, Rankings. This is the hard part. There is a company that helps to watch your ranking. You have the right keywords or keyword for your site to get to when customers are looking for goods on the Internet. Your keywords must be setup with your meta tags and meta description. Your rank was also moved higher with the more traffic you have on your site.
* tenth, inbound links. Inbound links are what really help you get the highest ranked. The more links the higher position will be. But you have to be careful because some places do SSL you can brake the lock open. Others may cause or POPUP cookie on your site. This will let anyone know that their is a security breach or a bad link on your site. I learned this the hard way.
Now, they are all fixed and done, the store is fully functional and I've had more than a thousand visitors. Wow, who knew! I hope my quick guide helps you in the right direction to open his own shop on-line. Here's to your success.
