Hey folks!

Hopefully someone can help me,I have a few questions actually. Sorry for all the newbness in them. I am thinking of starting a new business and am wondering what it would take to do the following (software I would need other than what is provided by a hosting service, basically do I need anything other than a webmaster to create it...). No it isnt a porn site

1) What would I need to have some sort of members login, giving them permission to upload text, or pics?

2) How would I set up a payment type of system for the members (is it to be rolled into question 1)? I am thinking about a payment type of thing each time something is uploaded.

3) A page similiar to a very famous auctioning website (that will remain nameless) where people can view items for sale? Dont need the auctioning part just the selling part (ie you buy the product for this much like an advertisemnt).

Hope this isn't too confusing, I am still at the thinking about it stage. I want a more general understanding of how the web works in this type of way.

Thanks for your time...

Well first off if you have some sort of domain name in mind don't hesitate to buy it. you can purchase them at places like godaddy.com or dotser.com or register.com. There are lots of places. This will prevent anyone else from getting the name before you.

What type of site are you going to create? An auction site? Consignment? Most likely you will want to use mysql and php for your site. If you are building this all by yourself you might want to start learning those along with html.

I suggest you think of how to get traffic first Many businesses fail because of lack of sufficient knowledge about how Internet actually works.

"Build it and they will come" doesn't really apply to the Internet.

My point is... Get into it before buying expensive scripts or software. Build useful CONTENT with keyword-rich articles, and then try to monetarize your traffic; as without content, you won't get any traffic anyway.

Download Affiliate Master's Course, which is a 207-page free ebook, for more details on building traffic on the web and converting it into customers for your auctioning website.
