Going Online?

If you're about to plunge into an internet based business, where you sell a product of some description, you will need to setup some systems.

• Firstly, you need to market your wares. On the internet, traffic is almost synonymous with income. Many internet businesses focus on traffic generation, often as though little else matters. They are correct to an extent, even products with low demand will sell with enough traffic. Some popular marketing methods involve obtaining or generating email lists, SEO (search engine optimisation), using affilliates and directly paid listings.
• Secondly you need a means of taking an order.
• Thirdly you need a means of accepting payment.
• A method to deliver your wares is also neccessary.

An e-Boost e-Commerce website provides much of this foundation instantly. One striking feature is that you don't need any professional support to write your website. We've worked out all the stuff you will need on your site to professionally sell your wares and have provided buttons and the like for you to build your website in a snap.

• You can customise the look with your logo, banners, colors and fonts but thats just the very start.
• There is no practical limit to the number of pages your site can have. You can add products to any page, in seconds, with a simple form. Images are automatically resized for the website, if required, to maintain a pleasant appearance and to minimize page load times for your customers. If you dont have an image handy you can always add it later.
• If you sell any data products, like e-books or software, then you'll love the polished delivery system that provides it to your customers immediately apon payment
• I dont know if you can tell how comprehensive this system is yet but you will in a minute. The system does a lot automatically.
• Receipts are issued apon payment with the details you specify to appear on them. The tax portion is itemised according to rules you have set. While for many businesses it is just a matter of setting the sales tax rate, This system will handle a complex combination of tax situations such as whether the pre tax or including tax amounts are advertised, whether a particular customer or product is tax exempt, whether a product or country is subject to a different tax rate. The system looks at all of these rates you have set and correctly applies them, even where each product is subject to different rules.
• Shipping costs are automatically added to your customers' orders, calculated according to the weights and costs of shipping you have specified for their country. When a customer adds products to an order, they see the total weight of the order so far and the shipping cost associated, which prevents the last minute dissapointment of surprise costs which can often stop the purchasing process cold. You may specify shipping rates to "all other countries" not specified elsewhere also.
• When you log into your control panel there is a button to take you to a list of all the orders you havent shipped yet. You can view the detail of each order and mark it as shipped when you send it. Of course e-books have already been received by your customer so you never need to check your orders if that's all you sell.
• All of this stuff happens in the blink of an eye also, if you change your logo or tax rules while someone is on your website, the update will show as soon as they click a button or move to another page. The same goes for shipping costs. An exception is that if you change a product name or price while someone is in the middle of ordering it then it will hold just for that immediate order for them.
• There are plenty of options such as whether to display navigation buttons and what they should look like.
• You can change the website currency at any time, each order records the currency it was processed with to avoid confusion later.
• Overall, this system puts you in control of building your website. It can be altered and added to as often as you like and it supports real business needs unheard of with other solutions. Of course, such a dynamically generated system has limitations on what you can make your site look like, but it will get you ready for serious online business in a snap.
• Enjoy the speed and power of the e-Boost e-Commerce system. It provides a jump start that can get you online and ready for business fast.
