Need to enhance a website to enable online selling!

[Harrys]

I have a website of my own and I am thinking of selling products online that will particularly deal in books and would be selling all kinds of books. There is no online integrated payment option yet but I am thinking of doing this and so would like to know your opinions on that!

It is very good that you are starting an online shop. I had a friend of mine who had an online shop which had a third party handling the payment system. But, later on he had his own system for the payment and had used the services of SSL Star for the purchase of SSL Certificates (http://www.sslstar.com) that provide security in terms of the information submitted by the user. GeoTrust, Verisign and RapidSSL are some of the trusted providers of this certificate.

Hi HarryS,

Have you done any market research to see if there is a hungry market for the types of books you'd like to sell? Specifically, what all kinds of books would you be selling? And, where would you get these books from?

Amazon already sells a lot of books, so you'd have a good amount of competition there. That's not a bad thing, though. If you can be different and stand out from other online book sellers, I have no doubt it could be a success.

Just make sure to do proper planning first and not rush into it.

SSL certificates are the best... I use them for my new interior design website and everything is great!
