How Should I Go About Starting My Own Online Company?
I’m wanting to start an online company that sells various baby items. I’ve seen many people have myspace pages as well as websites. Which is better or should I start out with one and then add the other? Also how do I go about deciding shipping? I don’t want to set a flat fee since I plan to sell things relatively cheap but I don’t want it to be too high either. I wanted to use flat rate boxes from the post office. Also how do I get these do I pay for them upfront or can I just get the boxes and pay for them when I get the orders sent out? I was at the post office and I saw a girl getting a hand full of envelops for free and she paid when she dropped her stuff off so I’m thinking you can get them and pay later but how do I go about actually getting them? Thanks.

you should do some costs research, and make business plan.
i see you have a lot of ideas, but you need to go step by step.
My friend, you obviously haven’t the slightest idea. Your plan will never in a million years work.
You need to start at the basics and have all these questions answered first. You should have 1000′s of these questions answered first.
For one, hardly anybody makes any money on the interent without a physical store that does great business. exception Amazon, but they started with millions in venture capital and showed no profit for years. They had a business plan and questions answerd.
It looks to me like you just had this idea and want to know how it’s done, but your never ever going to make it work even in the slightest capacity without you doing at least several years of research and a huge bag of cash– even for a one person company.
This is the real truth and you need to face these challenges before success will come.
Whena person doesn’t do these things, they get a website built, then nobody ever sees it. Clothes are bought, but don’t fit. The selection is too small where anybody would think it’s serious, you borrow money, but you never make money– friends buying stuff doesn’t work. a year later, your 10s of thousands of dollars in debt with a garge full of out dated, out of fashion rat infested baby clothes. They collection company confiscates all the stuff and your credit is ruined.
Do your research my friend.
Getting stuff in botiques is a great idea, having a physical store even if you don’t actually own it is wonderful, and could be the backbone of a good start up.
Have you looked at etsy.com? You have your own little store for free and listings are 20 cents each.
