Before you start selling products online ask this question... Are you looking to sell a single product or are you looking to sell many products?

If you're looking to sell a single product you shouldn't spend the time building an online store. Instead put your efforts into finding targeted sources of traffic and driving them to a narrowly focused landing page. By doing this you'll reduce customer confusion, make an easier checkout process, capture more leads, and ultimately make more sales.

Building this type of e-commerce website with the WebStarts "Sell Products" app is easy. All you need to do is create a landing page that talks about your product, what it will do for the person who buys it, and feature a large "Buy It Now" button. We've even partnered with WePay to make so you can automatically begin accepting credit card payments from your website without having to apply for a merchant account. Of course you can accept payments via PayPal too.

If you're looking to sell many products on your website you'll want to create an online store. Think of this as a catalog on the web that displays all the items you're selling. If this sounds like what you're looking to do you can use the WebStarts Shopping Cart platform.  With the WebStarts Shopping Cart you can organize items by category, add featured products to your homepage, display inventory levels, create product options, and much more.

No matter what type of business you're looking to start, whether selling products online or just building an informational website, WebStarts is the best way to get your site online. To find out more about WebStarts or sign up to create a free website click here.
