What do I need to know to build a eCommerce Site?

Hi;

I want to build a Ecommerce Site. I am new to website building and willing to learn from scratch.

What do I need to know before I can build a eCommerce site with a product category and filter feature like Amazon (like filter by star rating, reviews etc..)

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

One of the easiest things to do is to set up an Amazon product store. You can go to Amazon.com and get info directly, or do an internet search for: "Amazon Merchant Account" or "Amazon Store" and follow the links.

If you really want to quickly get into dropshipping, try Shopify.com. They can help you set up a store and find products fast, and then you just need to promote it.

Lastly, take a look at some of the websites for sale on Flippa that are already storefronts and marketing sites. Pick a cheap one that is sort of in the area you are interested in, and then modify it with more products and with merchant Plugins.

Finally, get a mentor to work with. Get active in the discussion boards or set up a "meetup" in your area and find someone who is already doing what you want to do and offer to help out for free so you can learn the ropes.
