It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there is a lot of moneymaking potential once you start to think about concept of the 'online store'. For a lot of stores you don't even need physical inventory because what you're selling is either a service or some kind of a software package that is being delivered by download.
I am not a hamster, I know a good idea when I see it. The thing is to come up with the right product. Until you do, you're just spinning your wheels and going nowhere fast. Once you do have a product or service to sell that people are actually interested in buying, then comes the rest. You need a domain name that fits what you're selling and who you are and a place to host the domain. There's a lot of places offering business hosting, AQHost is one that has ecommerce hosting plans that include features designed to make it as easy as possible to get a new site up and running.
