There are thousands of opportunities on the web and this article is meant to show you just a few great ideas that could help you get up and running with your very own e-commerce business.

You literally have a global store when you operate an e-business. Starting a business over the web isn't free. However, the costs involved with starting these businesses don't have to deter you.

You can start any of the businesses I've mentioned below or you may even have some ideas of your own. To reduce your start up costs with any of these businesses is really quite simple. It's important to set up a strict budget and stick to it.

If you don't already have a computer, use a friend's or visit your local library or Internet cafe. You can also buy used computers for less than $200. They will be outdated but you'll still be able to log on to the Internet and create documents. Some other suggestions on how to save money include using a web template until your business becomes more established. And remember, for your web development needs there are tons of free applications available. Check out http://sourceforge.net to get started adding more functionality to your site.
