I want to start a new branch of my businness (Q) and call it (R). I want (R) to be completely operated (where possible) by the new emerging Internet (I) and eCommerce (eC) method(s) (M). I want (R) to specialize in 3 markets: (X), (Y), and (Z). And I need two (M)'s to : (M1), determine and collect all related imput words to my products and funnel them to my web site (WS), and (M2), assure that my (WS) is allways # 3 (on the 1st page results of the customers search). Also, for ex., (Y) may split into two major product lines (PL)'s, (PL1) homemaker and (PL2) professional. Where they may differ is in: performance, margins, cost, quality, quantity, etc. But the sales volume may differ by >> than 1000 to 1. How do I determine if it is worth having the one or two (PL)'s for (Y) or n (PL)'s for X, Y, and Z, and still make a Profit on all factions of my new (R). Do I need a mail or Internet catalog. How do I find best suppliers,shippers, and accounting (all pass thru). Please respond.

How to start and maintain a successful Internet Auction business.

1. Find a auction site that you can post and re-list items over and over free of charge. I have listed several legit free auctions below. Don’t use Ebay! The hay-day of Ebay is behind us and unless you want to pay more in fees than you make, be my guest. I have had luck with Epier.com and Yahoo auctions is big and dependable.

http://epier.com/
http://auctions.yahoo.com/
http://www.traderbait.com/
http://www.ibidfree.com/
http://auctionfire.com/
http://www.webidz.com/

2. Find reliable drop shippers. A drop shipper is a company that will let you list their products for free. You mark them up and make a profit. You have no overhead at all through this system at all. A true drop shipper will not charge you for their service. They make their share when you sell to your customer and your drop shipper ships it off for you. Be sure you save the item you list in your shopping cart so they don’t sell it while your auction is running. Also, to avoid this most drop shipping sites have the amounts in stock. If there’s over 75 or so in stock you should be ok with a 5 day auction. I will list several legit drop shippers below. Keep in mind I have an account with all of these.

3. Spread yourself around but keep good records! Have one account at more than one auction and use several drop shippers as this will diversify your seller accounts. I am doing well at this, I figured this stuff out on my own. Now, I’m sending this information to you. Why? Please see step 4.

4. People want to know about systems that work. If you list that you have a system, people will buy it! It’s a great way to advertise your own auctions and at the same time make a little more selling a product you made yourself with no overhead!

Most of my items are on Epier.com as seller DWW32720 take a LOOK!!!!!

Hmmmm...sounds like a very complicated quantum physics problem. Perhaps you are overthinking things.

If you are truly interested in starting your own web-based business, you should check out this page. No algebra, just some information.
