Help? Getting n00b friendly stores online
Long and short I need to find an easy way to get stores online. I need to be able to easily import products from a .csv .
Background: I have a list of contacts from the past that have terrible web sites and I am not by any means a developer. I figured if I could find a way to get going I would work my network then move on to selling in my local area
I am currently using the Odin project to better myself but not there yet. (This is the problem when you have only outsourced . . . you get in a situation with no cash flow and you are helpless to build something sellable.)
Figured I would try and build a target site with a few templates for them to choose from etc and then sell them the site, hosting and other services I could eventually outsource.
Recently had an injury that requires I be off work for 6-12 months at least and I need to find an income online.
Positives:
Necessity is a great motivator
Not afraid to make cold calls ( have done it for most of my career )
Not afraid to learn
Negatives:
No startup money
No real usable design skills
Can't do much outside of the home office for a while
I was making a couple grand a month with fiverr a while back just using arbitrage but that dried up. Bought and sold some websites to make cash over the years as well. But had to go back to working for the man to make some real cash. However now working for "the man" is not an option.
Any help offered from business plan to ideas to partnerships.
PS: Sorry for the long post. Just figured some background on my situation might help in understanding.
