How do you start an online small catalog business?

I would like to start a business online but I'm afraid that I have absolutely no clue as how to start. Is there anyone that has successfully done this who could give me some advice? Thanks to everyone who answers this.

Since you've never been in business before, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you'll start a web based business or one with a store front. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE.

The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a small online catalog business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.

You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.

Hi Janiegirl
Please see the link below.

The start-up costs are under $300, there is 24/7 mentoring, and Site Build It is one of the oldest, most successful and reputable products on the Net.

This is an excellent product for launching an online catalog business - don't fall for any of the get rich quick or easy money scams. Do something with integrity, work hard, have fun and build something real.

Good luck, Sarah

I expanded my Wholesale Distributor business of Health and Beauty Aids when I built my site on Site Build It. Take a look at the site and get an idea of how easy to build an online catalog

I'm a pure romance consultant, i do in home parties where i educate and empower women about their sexuality. I think it's the best thing i've ever decided to do. as for money I can usually make anywhere from $125-$400 a show. I feel like i'm getting paid to party with women. If you'd like more info. just let me know. I can help you with any questions or help you sign up. Who knows.. this might be just what you're looking for ...Good luck!
