Last Saturday, I decided to start an ecommerce website, selling cigars. Images of my wife and me sitting on the beach came to my mind as I imagined how easy it would be to rake in the dough with an online cigar shop. Turns out, it won’t be that easy. The more I learn, the more I realize just how hard it would be to have a profitable cigar shop without investing $25,000 up front. So as I continue to search for ways around that specific roadblock, I’ve opened my mind to other ideas and I still plan to have an ecommerce site, with or without cigars.

As I began my search for an ecomm solution, I happened across BuyerZone.com, where I entered in the details of my needs and got about 5 responses. Among others, BlueLine LLC stood out as my favorite in terms of customer service, functionality, and customization. The issue was the $8,000 price tag. Having zero experience with online anything, I decided not to dump 8k into a trial run. What I ultimately decided on was a company called Volusion, mostly because I was able to take advantage of their 14 day free trial! What a fantastic thing!
