I currently sell tattoo equipment on eBay and would like to start a website as well. I really have no idea where to start. I tried the quick shopping cart page with GoDaddy in the past, and hardly had any sales at all in 6 months, so I closed it. I need professional help!

    Hi nhagerty and welcome to the world of internet marketing, it can be extremely overwhelming but you have found a great place to learn how to grow and expand your business, along with great warriors offering great services.

    Are you looking to set up shop on-line yourself or do you want someone else to do it for you?

    If you are looking for others to do it for you, head over to the Warrior Products and Services:
    Warrior Products & Services

    If you are looking to set up shop for yourself, the easiest way to do it is by (1) getting a domain; (2) get hosting at Hostgator.com (they rock on customer support); (3) install WordPress and (4) install ShopperPress.

    If you don't know anything about WordPress, start here:
    WordPress › Blog Tool and Publishing Platform

    If you don't know how to use WordPress, go here:
    WordPress.tv

    To learn more about ShopperPress and grab a discount while you can, go here:

    I have NO affiliation with ShopperPress except that I use it and am a very happy customer. I have been developing WordPress blogs for a long time now and it is simply the best one I have used as far as ease of use and ready to go. Installation is just like installing any other theme. It is super easy to use and Mark, the developer, is super responsive to his customers needs.

    Hope this helps and again, welcome to the forum!

    Cheers

    Not sure what the market or the skill level required is for people looking to start up a tattoo business but I would suggest you write an ebook on how to start up a tattoo business and then you will have instant customers for your tattoo equipment, next would be to write an ebook on advanced tattoo techniques. If you can write ebooks then I could be willing to help you through the steps to get this up and running.

    First of all you can decide your retail web site design in your mind. And then you can download some shopping cart templates from google after downloading that template you can make changes as per your requirement and connect that template with your web site database then you can develop your web site easily.

    Hi,

    Simplest, easiest way is to start a wodpress blog about your business and tattoo equipment. Wordpress will get you going with good search engine optimisation. Its flexible and very easy for newcomers to work with.

    Fatcow hosting have a deal right now and for $44 you get $150 worth of Google, Yahoo and Facebook advertising vouchers. They also have a one click Wordpress installer.

    Once you get that set up you can add simple shopping cart Paypal buttons through E-Junkie.

    Or you could use a simple store Wordpress plugin like Yak, E-shop or WP-Ecommerce.
    All these companies allow you to take payment via Paypal and are simple to set up as add ons to a Wordpress blog.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the great WP resources, everyone! I'm used to building shopping carts like ZenCart, but I've got a few smaller, niche sites that would benefit from a cart that is less cumbersome to build and less time-consuming to manage.
