Online shopping is growing at a staggering rate, with more and more people choosing to shop online than ever before.

We are seeing the alarming trend of major retailers, such as book stores, closing their doors, but yet the popularity in books has not changed, people are simply choosing to shop differently.

So what if you could quit your day job and become an online retailer, earning a healthy income, with a total set up cost of under $100?

In fact, what if you could set up your own online empire with multiple websites with the earning potential for an easy six-figure or more income in less than a week?

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it!

Well it’s not. It’s actually very simple and ANYONE can do it.

3 SIMPLE STEPS TO CREATING AN ONLINE STORE FOR UNDER $100

I am going to share with you three simple steps to creating your own fully stocked online store in less than a day for under $100.

STEP 1 : DOMAIN NAME AND WEB HOSTING = $7.95
Firstly you need to set up your website hosting.
I recommend Hostgator because they not only offer you a FREE .com domain name when you sign up, but their plans start at just $3.96 per month! The plan I recommend is the Hostgator Baby Plan because it allows you to add on multiple domains at no additional cost any time you want. So for less that $7.95 a month you could be hosting 10 websites or more. So your hosting bill would be less than 80 cents a month to run your online business!

STEP 2: THE SHOPPING CART SETUP = $79
The next thing you need to do is install the shopping cart. Now usually when someone mentions they want an ecommerce website set up to a web developer they are likely to be hit with a $1000+ bill.
Well, there is a solution much, much cheaper, which is extremely professional, and at just $79 it is way cheaper!

Shopperpress runs on the popular WordPress software. WordPress is totally free, and with Hostgator it is literally a click of a button and they install it for you. Shopperpress is a Theme designed to run in WordPress, which transforms the WordPress blog into a powerful professional shopping cart for a total price of $79. Thats a one off fee, so there is no monthly cost, and the great thing is once you have purchased Shopperpress you can use it over and over again, so your future e-commerce sites will cost you absolutely nothing!

Shopperpress comes with lots of different themes in all sorts of niches, so whether you want to sell golf gear, babywear, wedding apparel or downloadable books, etc there is a theme perfectly suited and ready to use. No having to hire a web developer!

But the best part about Shopperpress is next….

STEP 3: ACCESSING PRODUCTS TO SELL = $0
Usually setting up an online store requires you to have lots of stock, which costs a lot of money for a new business venture.
But what if you could fill your e-commerce store with products to sell for absolutely nothing!
The beauty of Shopperpress is it has the built in tools to automatically connect to affiliate marketing sites such as clickbank, Amazon, Commission Junction and many more of the leading affiliate sites. So you simply create an free account with Amazon, and then in Shopperpress you enter the keywords of the products you want to add to your site, and it grabs a selection for you to choose from.
You literally don’t have to do anything. Now when someone buys a product on your website you make 15% off that sale price through the Amazon affiliate program! Easy money!

If you want to add a lot more affiliate products I recommend you sign up with Datafeedr. Datafeedr is exactly as the name says, an automatic datafeedr which connects to 16 of the major affiliate networks, accessing thousands of major brand name stores and tens of thousands of products to add to your cart, all done at the press of a button!
Datafeedr takes all the hard work out of running an online affiliate business.

Of course, Shopperpress also allows you to add your own products and sell direct too.

So there you have it, your own online store, or even empire set up in a matter of days for under $100

Lets go shopping!
