There is a way to try E-commerce before you jump in with the big dollars. During this trial period, you could learn to build your own web page, play in the retail market, and yes Earn While You Learn. Build your E-commerce business like you built your current business. Do it yourself so you don’t have to rely on high dollar transit programmers. How?

Use Auction Sites as your playground. You would be surprised to learn the return you could achieve with just a little bit of knowledge. As our clients know, we don’t teach anything we don’t actually work in! When we decided to earn while we learned, we picked eBay. In addition to making money, we learned valuable information about E-commerce, and:

Lessons in shipping
Lessons in customer support.
Lessons in accepting online

We now have over 100 E-commerce clients with repeat clients. During our auctions, our website hits increase dramatically. So before you jump into E-commerce, first learn to walk slowly and then run. What’s the cost of eBay? If you accept , and learn some tricks, the cost of listing, and card fees runs approximately six percent of the sales price.
