Helpful Website Resources

• Yahoo Website Hosting Services
• Network Solutions – E-Commerce Store Host, my most recommended user friendly!  You’ll need the pro package in order to have one of my custom designs in it
• CityMax - Very Affordable Store Host - seems really good, but I haven't had much experience with it to give it a full thumbs up.
• ola.com (you can even add your website address in the auctions!)
• bidville.com
• Ecrater - Free Online Marketplace
• eBid - Another large Auction outlet!
• ioffer.com This is not an auction. It's better! No bids, reserve pricing, auction end times, and last minute sniping. iOffer is a trading community that allows you to buy, sell and trade - just like you would in real life - by negotiating. learn more

 

Do It Yourself Photo Editing Resources:

• Bling It: Photo Editor – helps you delete backgrounds from pictures and add nice new backgrounds, to make your listings stand out from the others!
• Corel Drawl: Advanced Photo Editor (one that I use and highly recommend myself) – helps you delete backgrounds from pictures and add nice new backgrounds, to make your listings stand out from the others!

 

Marketing & Misc. Resources:

• Terapeak.com - Find Your Nitch by Doing a Study on What Sells: you would miss out if you didn't check it out.  Type up some top selling products and see how much people are willing to pay for those items.  It's very neat!
• Worldwide Brands One Source. One Source exists solely for finding reputable drop shippers, so that you don't have to find them on your own.
  • Venus Shoe Quote: I won't go with any drop shipper without going through One Source. It's probably the greatest program out there for small online retailers like me.
