With the financial problems we are all facing right now, many people are turning to the internet in the hope of being able to earn a living that way.

Starting an online business or ebusiness is quite easy to do in principle. There are no overhead costs and start up costs are minimal. The most common type of business on the internet is Internet Marketing or IM, as this is the simplest, requiring no stock of physical products.

However it is a very steep learning curve and pretty difficult to succeed.

There is so much information out there, in fact there is too much, leading to information overload and you can end up spending a lot of money just trying to learn it all.

This blog is basically a complilation of questions and answers asked about IM which may help you along the way.

I am in the process of setting up a small business on eBay. I am planning to open a featured eBay Store in which I sell consumer electronics. I was wondering what my business checklist should look like, including the legal aspect such as licenses, permits, and incorporation. I am incorporating in the state of Massachusetts. Thanks a lot.
