  ANSWERS
Q This sounds too good to be true. Is this a scam?
A Not at all. In fact, if you read the page "how it works", you will quickly realize that this is a genuine business plan which requires effort and work, unlike most business opportunities found on the web claiming you'll only need to work a few hours per week. This is not a scam. This is a genuine business opportunity that works and requires work.

Q Is this a part-time or a full-time business venture?

You can obtain your resellers license, (sales tax license) for as little as $8. In some states including California, Massachusetts and a several others, it's free. New Hampshire, Oregon, Alaska, Delaware and Montana do not require sales tax licenses to start your new business.

Q How long will it take me to get my business up and running?
A That depends on how much time and effort you put into starting your business. Forming your business and obtaining your resellers license can be done in less than 2 weeks. In that same time you can be building your new computer product Internet storefront.
Building a computer product “super e-store” (selling all types of products) can be accomplished in less than a month while building an e-store focused on a niche market such as digital cameras, business software, storage solutions etc... can be completed within one week using tools such as Microsoft FrontPage Expression Web, DreamWeaver, XSitePro etc..

Q I don’t know anything about computers. How do I learn?
A Don’t be intimidated by computer products. When you decide what products you are going to sell, just start reading about them. It's that simple. For example: Let’s say you decide to start an e-store that sells digital cameras. All digital cameras work the same. So every time you build a product specification page just simply skim over the information to get a better idea of the extra functions and features of that camera. You can also make a quick reference comparison chart to keep handy. Buy digital camera magazines and take them with you everywhere you go. You’ll see how fast you’ll become a digital camera expert. Reading is the key.

Q Who will provide technical support?
A Who provides the best technical support for Microsoft products? That’s right, Microsoft. We’ll show you how to kindly send your customers directly to the manufacturer technical support team. Your customers will thank you for it later.

Q Do I need to open up a business bank account?
A Yes and no. You can have the merchant account provider deposit the customers' credit card funds directly into your own personal bank account. However, there will be times when businesses may want to pay with a company check. They will be expecting to write out the check to your business name and not your personal name.

Q How do I build an Internet storefront?
A Building an Internet storefront is easier than you think. You only have to make the main design “one time”. Then use that template over and over again through out your whole entire site to stay consistent. And now you can build your own internet storefront quickly and easily with easy to use software such as Microsoft Expression Web, Dreamweaver, ColdFusion and downloading professional storefront templates from TemplateMonster.com

Forget about html, psp, asp, xml etc. You don't have to understand any kind of html code or use any high-tech software. Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver or any low priced web building software will do just fine. Once you have the software manual in your hand, simply open it up, skim through it and follow the tutorials.  

Once you build your first specification page, the rest of the pages will be easy to duplicate within minutes because now you'll have a master template.

In our members section we show you how to make a clean yet simple web site which will download quickly. That's the real key to all successful e-stores on the internet today. Don’t be intimidated of building your own site. We'll help you every step of the way.

Q How will I promote and advertise my e-store?

You'll receive step-by-step guides on search engine marketing, link popularity, link exchanging campaigns, e-mail marketing campaigns, discussion forum marketing, ezine newsletter marketing and publishing, press release marketing and effective banner advertising.

Q Can I set my own prices on the products?
A Yes. You decide what prices you want to sell the products at. As a basic guideline, you can mark up the products 10% to 15% to 17% of the price that you are purchasing the product from the distributor.

With specialty products such as Video Raid’s you could mark up the prices to as much as 20% or more. In general, the higher the price of the computer product, the bigger your profits will be.

“Do not” look at this business venture as just earning a 10% profit margin on just one product. Instead look at it as earning 10% or more on your total daily sales. It is very easy to produce $5,000 in computer product sales on a daily basis in your first few months.

>10% of $5,000. = $500. net profit per day.
>$500 x 5 business days per week = $2,500 per week net profit.
>$2,500 per week x 4 weeks = $10,000 per month net profit.

Your e-store will be open 24 hours per day 7 days per week allowing your Internet storefront to take more orders on Saturdays, Sundays and even while you sleep.

A As explained in the “how you earn” section of this web site, since you will be having your own merchant account, money from the sales you made will be deposited directly into your bank account from your merchant account provider on a daily basis.
