Just last week, a friend of mine sent me an email offering me to venture into online store. I'm aware of the existence of such store but I really do know much in operating one. She told me that it is easy and profitable. Should I venture into it?

Will be difficult to get anyone to buy something.. Because everybody knows that you can get the same item from the store without the need to pay for the shipping. Unless you offer a rare item, an item that is made by you and you only or give free shipping.

Hello for some business minded people it is easy as long as you had the capital money with you, and your product you will sell in demand and can be stock for a long period of time. It is convenient for both seller and buyer, this online store. For seller, she/he would post all products, the details and the price. Where the buyer will choose what she/likes and they will talk via phone or chat. We have a lot of payment processor where the buyer can pay the product bought. Profitable also.

I think it's worth trying, since nowadays people love to shop online. It is more efficient and effective. However, make sure that your friend's online store sells stuffs that people are looking for, or 'hype' right now.

I have my own online store and I sell wholesale and retail clothes. It is profitable because I love what I am doing and my customers keep coming back because I am honest with my business and I sell quality and affordable clothes.

It all depends on marketing. No matter what the product is. But you need choose a popular niche and make sure that you are selling something that worth buying! Market your site well and you will have sales of course.

It depends on what products or services what you are offering. There are some products or services that are easily to have a profit and some aren't. Better ask your friend what kind of online store he/she will be up to.
