Disclaimer: This is NOT to advertise any kind of existing business. I have no business. I am looking for advice and nothing else.
One of my biggest dreams, is to start an online retail store. I have read online about the process, but am still a bit lost in all the information. Have any of you mamas started a retail store online? How much investment, do you think it takes to start up? I have graphic designers and photographer in my family, so from a design standpoint I'm good. How hard was it, to stay afloat the first year or so?? Are the any websites, or resources you've used, to help with understanding the process? I just don't know anything about the logistics of starting something. My husband and I are very responsible and practical with finances, and I would never take TOO big of a risk. However, I do know starting a business (online, or otherwise.), is risky. I want to do as much research as possible...but I don't know where to start!!!
I know what kind of store I want to have, but I haven't an idea of what all it takes. Any advice?

What are you trying to sell?
Zazzle and Cafe Press are good for some things. Etsy for others. Your own website is good too....
There are people who run stores out of eBay.
