1. How to start an online store.
Starting an online store has advantages over having a physical storefront: there's no rent to pay, and you can reach millions of customers from the comfort of your own home. To have a shot at success, however, it's a good idea to put as much thought into starting an online store as you would any other business. You'll need a great product, a user-friendly website, and a solid marketing plan.
Decide what you want to sell. If you want to start an online store, you probably already have an idea for a great product to sell. Keep in mind that certain things are conducive to selling well online, while other items may be more difficult to sell when they can't be viewed in person. In any case, you should believe passionately in the value of your product - otherwise, it will be hard to connect with customers.

3. Five rules for managing any online store.
1. The foundation behind any good web-analysis method is Google Analytics.
2. Always Be Scanning: A common maxim in sales is «keep your eye on the prize». Not in web traffic - instead, you want to keep your eyes on everything. Comb through your data in search of benchmarks that lead to sales, sure - but don't forget to look further upstream too.
3. Find Your Sweet Spot: Look upstream at the quality and returns of your online marketing. Your average rankings and cost per click are two indicators that can help identify if you're in the most efficient spot on the search engine or if you've run askew.
4. Evaluate Your Metrics Wisely: Rather than comparing your marketing results over consecutive periods, try comparing them by season or even years prior.
5. Apply Constant Pressure: Don't let yourself (or your vendors) become complacent with good results. Even after sales climb, it's important to remain active and responsive.

• Based on our analysis eBay should not put additional resources towards B2C market, due to saturated market and competitors' near stranglehold on market share
• Should instead surprise competitors like Amazon with a strong B2B initiative or campaign (i.e. introducing a new comparison shopping service for wholesalers)
• Reinforcing their C2C presence through continued rewards to their loyal seller/buyer base to maintain dominance there would also be a wise strategy, after-all in C2C eventually incentives are needed as parties can communicate offline
• Amazon should invest whatever resources necessary to maintain hold of B2C market by continuing to compete on price, convenience & reliability of vendors and continue to bring in new brand-name retailers
• Should reward smaller users as the longtail works for network membership as well (strength in #'s, not just big enterprise retailers, because if they leave, sales/catalogue can shrink overnight)
• Better position than eBay right now for long-term B2B strategy with AWS, should try new programs(i.e. seller-exchanges, etc)

Concrete principle for managing an online store:
Whether you are considering using a prepackaged solution or building your website on an open source shopping system, it is important to recognize something right upfront: You need to be involved. You will need to take the time to create your list of products. Each product will need a unique item number, product title, price and description. Depending on what you are selling, you may have more fields than these. If you're using a prepackaged solution, some services will provide you with a spreadsheet template to follow.

Beyond the data, you will need images of your products or icons for digital items. You may need to spend some time familiarizing yourself with an image editing application to correctly size your product images to match the layout or design of your website. Keep in mind that if you plan to show jewelry, clothing or furniture in other colors, you will need images of those items. Web applications do not magically recolor photos, so you need to have photos taken of products in other colors or have a graphic expert recolor your products. If you are selling a digital product like music or e-books, you'll need to create sample files to provide your visitor. For example, offer two pages of your e-book in a pdf format or an edited 30-second sample of your music for review.
Technology Connections
Additional technology connections may also be needed to provide you and your audience with the most accurate costs. For instance, how are you shipping your products? Not all shopping carts integrate with every shipping service, and if you are planning to ship your products, you will want this feature integrated into your website so that buyers' postal codes can be checked against your products' weights and shipping zones. Many small businesses run into a lower profit margin because their shipping isn't calculated properly.
Social Features
Aside from managing inventory, adding images and connecting your products to shipping systems, your customers are looking for more. Customer reviews have become standard in today's e-stores, and they serve two purposes: They can help increase sales, and they provide an opportunity for your customers to give you feedback.
Providing customers with wish list tools for sharing their interests with friends and family is not a standard feature on most e-commerce sites, but for certain websites this feature can help your customers get what they want and even share their lists on social sites.
Fresh content about your products is a must for any site. Plan your site around sharing information about the best uses of your products or highlight
different customer stories about how your e-book impacted their lives. The message needs to stay fresh, so plan your site with more than just a shopping catalog-plan it with a sense of community.
Building an e-commerce site today is not just about offering the latest and greatest product or the lowest price. You'll want to build a following and make it easy for your team to manage the growth. The two most important things to remember are that not every feature will be available out of the box and that you will need to be a participant in your success.
