The first year I am in the online business, I build two websites. But actually they were making little money. But I learned a lot from the experience. The second year, I still didn't make a lot of money. But the good thing is I was about to make my living. There are more than a lot websites on the net. But I can say, most of actually making no money. The reason is they didn't do things right.

The first thing you need to do is to find a product. To do this, you need to check the online market. Is the product you are looking for has a good market online? Some product might have a good market but people may not like to buy it online for some reason.

Then you need a supplier. Finding a good suppliers is important. A good place to find wholesalers is thomasregister.com. You can type the product you like and it will give the manufactures or wholesalers of the product. There will be the phone number, fax and emails of the wholesalers.

After you find some good keywords, you need to determine the products you like to sell. For the beginners, you might select one product to start. After you master the process of online stores, you can go for more products.

Can you sell to me at wholesale price?
Can you drop ship?
Can I marketing your products online?

If they answer yes to all of the questions, they ask them how to set up an account and how to pay them. The next step will be setting up an online store and start selling.

A good place to check the market is keyword suggestion tool. The most popular one is the overture suggestion tool. You type in a word and it will tell you how many searches of the word in the last month on overture. Since overture covers most popular search engines like yahoo, msn, altvista and so on, it will give you a good idea that how good the online market is for the keyword. A good market should have at least 1000 search for the keyword you typed in.

Before you sep up your online store, one thing is proven to be good to check. You can put a few of the products on online auctions such as ebay. If you can sell on auctions, that means your product definite sells online. If you can not sell it, you may check the reason. Do the product sell for less? If that's the reason, you may need to calculate how much you can make for each item you sell.
