Decided a new change this year and pursue my dream of owning a e-Commerce business.

As much as I enjoy meeting clients and working in the contracting industry, I realize the limitations and I want to a different business/lifestyle.

Can you guys give me any advice regarding starting a ecommerce business? I'd appreciate any input.

For instance, someone mentioned instead of starting my own website to sell items, I can sell things through Amazon as a vendor?? any additional advice?
 
If you start your own site, there will be a lot of work involved. Once the site is up online, then you need to look at driving traffic to it. So Pay Per Click, SEO etc. Then you need to keep in mind that when shopping online, people don't know or have never heard of 95% of the vendors out there, so they are looking for one thing.... a low price. So unless you are selling something unique, I am not sure how much money is in this.

Just my 2 cents.
