Ok , i would like to share easy step of how you can start an online business without any cost. If you have other interesting idea, please share so me other reader can learn too..
1. U need to have a dedicated email for your online store. - get an email that related or same with your online store, this email should be used for registration on anything that related to your online store.
2. Get variety products for your online store - Make your online store interesting when you have lots of products. Be creative, get a products that you know sell-able.
3. U need to have a dedicated facebook/ twitter account for your online store - Start to ask your friends and add anonymous that might has interest on your products as friends. Use proper keywords to get more friends,i.e if you are selling sports products, add more people with keywords thar relates to sports like futsal, soccer as your friends. All friends you have is your prospects, it means, more friends you have, give u bigger prospects list, make a routine to get as much friends as u can daily. once the account is full, create new one and get more friends and so on. Your fb/twitter account is where your customer can pm or follow you easily.
4. U need to have a fanpage for your online store
Fan Page is useful to share your products info and promotions to anyone who are not on your friend list. It also resemble your reputation, when you have more testimonials, feed back and activities. It will brings confident to potential buyers to buy from you. Use your fan page everytime you want to share any info or promo. Tag/Share the info/promo to your friends from your friend list randomly. This will enable friends of your friends to see your ads via live feeds, they will like your fan page and find more details if they are interested with your products and add you as friend later on if they want to communicate with you directly.
5. A dedicated site for your online store like a free blog or if you have money to spend, investing some money on e-commerce web hosting are advisable but its optional for beginners - Fb account and fan page maybe enough, but a website even only a blog
has more function to offer convenient and comforts for customers to browse thru your products.
U already own an online store now! Happy trying! throw me more ideas or question if u have any

From my experienced, dont begin online business world wide, start within your country first. Offer COD Method near by your area if they prefer COD or if the customer happen to be near by your area. Even i always buy with COD method. Its reliable, coz i only have to pay when i get the item. You can start with people u know As beginning.
Perhaps at first, we need to find buyer whose his location is near us... @cairalyssa (1402)

Very good tutorial for beginner, but I just want to add some useful information related with.
1. For email address,
get trust from customers is main thing in online store. If we use free email account, it will make our point minus. It should be, name@yourdomain will be trust and professional
2. Product for beginner would be great if we become an affiliate store and get commission.
3. Social media. I totally agree with this point.
4. Unfortunately, if we become an affiliate...some affiliate program restricted promotion their products using fanpage,,such as Amazon or other CPA program.

Hi cairayssa
Thanks for the awesome sharing.
Just a point from me. Maybe the title should not be free, because owning website incur some cost, like web host and domain registration. Just my thoughts thanks
