So I guess now would be a good time to explain what “The Start-Up Experiment” is. Well first off, it is a bit of a social experiment. My plan is that over the next year I will be attempting to learn about, build, market, and profit from an e-commerce site. I will be chronicaling every step of the process and will alert you to the tools I use, how well they work, and impart any knowledge that I may ascertain in the process.

I want this to be a bit of an open forum for discussion. The most exciting thing is that apart from knowing a lot about web site creation, I know nothing about e-commerce. I have sold some used gear on ebay, but that is about as far as it goes. So please feel free to respond to my postings, send me email, and provide any tips for those of us who are learning.

Lets make this collaborative and we will all benefit. My hope is that my determination and success will inspire you to do the same and follow in my footsteps. This will be an honest account of my experiences and I will spare you the propoganda that other sites do about e-commerce. You do not need to spend $20 to join a site and get bogus info. Just cold hard fact!

Thanks,
Keith
