Ecommerce Turnkey Sites
These hosts usually charge a setup fee to create your store. A
domain name may or may not be included in the price and there is
usually a monthly fee for maintaining your store.
Some stores provide you with products at a base price and allow
you to add your own markup. Others charge a fee for each product
sold while others simply pay you a commission off each item
sold. You choose what best suits you, but you will make the
largest profit from those that you can markup yourself.
Do not be lured buy quick promises of up to 50% commission.
Often times months down the line you are still waiting on your
first cheque as you have not sold anything. Sometime these
products are very expensive or of such a quality that your
customers will not buy.
Another thing some hosts fail to tell is that you have to
promote the store yourself. So get ready, in addition to paying
a monthly fee, you will have to start driving traffic to your
website. This can prove costly but there are ways around it,
such as through site optimization and site submissions.
One of the greatest things about these turnkey hosting packages
however is that you do not need to hold inventory. All your
products are pre-stocked and for some hosts, you do not even
need to worry about accepting payment. Everything is taken care
of, these services are usually all included in the monthly fee.
This does seem to make your transition into the world of
ecommerce a little easier but does not guarantee you the best
monetary remuneration.
So the choice of E-Commerce Turnkey host is yours, only you and
your business idea will determine the best host for you.
