This is a brilliant list Steve. I owned an online store a few years ago and used some of the these services. I still use PMI for mail forwarding and incorporated with Bizfilings.

Good resources here thanks.

Hey Chris
Let’s just say that the dollar has to get substantially weaker for it not to be worth it to import from overseas. Prices are rising however.

Hi first off I want to say thank you for the wealth of info you provide on your site! Its awesome! I had a question, Since the dollar is weak do you still import from China? Or would it be cheaper for you to buy domestic with your fabrics or other products? Thank you!

Regards,
Chris L.

Hi Vincent,
Your comment is well timed. I’m in the midst of writing an article about why I no longer recommend Algozone for the blog. Now I’ve used and recommended many people to Algozone in the past and things have gone well. However, I had a recent run in with them which I’ll describe in more detail in my post. Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Hi Steve,

I followed your advice and purchased a template from Algozone. I have to admit that their templates are very nice and professionally designed. However, there are 2 problems with them:

1. It is very expensive. A decent template would cost somewhere $150 – $300. Not a biggie for those who want to really invest into their business. However…

2. Their customer/technical support service is very horrible. The template I bought is around $200 and I was expecting some sort of excellent support. After I found out a tons of bugs with the purchased template, I contacted them for help but was either being ignored or they replied to me with some B.S. (most of the time less than 2 short sentences) and closed the support ticket right away without me indicating that the issue was resolved. So I ended up fixing all of the bugs myself, which is such a nightmare because their template is nothing like the original zen cart template (they use a lot of their own scripts and functions that could not be easily located). Nobody on the zen cart community forum was able to help me as well. Some of the bugs are very critical such as the website only display html codes but not regular text. Other bug had to do with checkout and credit card information. These will drive your customers away in the first instant, especially if your store is newly created.

Just to let you and others know so you would think twice about buying their products. I bought some other ugly templates from different website and don’t experience such thing.

The sharing is marvelous! You have revealed the must-have softwares, applications, tools and elements in order to have a successful online business! Would like to know if you purchased the licensed Adobe Photoshop? It is quite expensive, right?

Hello,

Do you know anything about SiteBuildit.com(SBI)? You would set up your name and create your website through them. They seem to be a bit more expensive but it seems they have great tutorials and help for setting up your site.

Thank you.

Steve Chou,
You have given so very much from your own experiences to others in creating this site. I, for one, have searched on line for many many months for a resource like you offer here. I have downloaded or read perhaps 10 different eBooks and gone through maybe 100 different sites about ‘On Line Marketing’, ‘Affiliate Marketing’, and ‘On Line Stores’ in my endeavour to find answers to some very ellusive questions. Mostly I am just like the many others interested in your site, I crave information which is accurate, complete, and current. What sincerly impressed me the MOST about your site is that you appear to be an HONEST man, from all that I see which you have shown. I commend you for this character trait, which is rapidly vanishing, and for being generous enough to share a great deal of valuable information with people like myself without seeking personal gain.
Thank you,
Dennis Simmons
