Online Store??

Have you ever think of starting a online store?

I launched one half year ago. It took me lot of time to develop this store even though I'm using 3rd party shopping cart system. I need to put up hundreds of product descriptions, images, and some contents pages. Plus some procrastination, it took me more than 6 months to develop. I even stopped doing anything for 3 months and thought of giving up.

Till now, my store still not making much money. Comparing with content sites, some of them even making money in the 1st month! Totally different world and tough business! But Amazon.com's story provide me lot of patience to continue. They lost so much money in the initial years... Of course I do not have intention to be as big as them. I enjoy being SMALL in my NICHE.

I just read through the below interesting thread. You may want to take a look if you would like to go into online wholesale or dropship business.
