Getting past the hype about e-commerce is important. All of the commercials and ads for the e-commerce venues make it look like a breeze. They focus on the "success" stories without equally focusing on all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.
Maureen McCullough's seminar focuses on what you plan on selling - are you making it, importing it, are you planning on using dropshippers, or a little of everything? Do you have a brick and mortar store also in addition to selling online? Let's talk about choosing the right e-commerce venue for you, whether you may need a POS system, and how to make it work for you.

Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Are there other in-between realms? Are there places beyond, or are we stuck there forever? Can the dead truly interact with the living? Can we ever return to this world in another body? Whether you have personal experiences to share, or are interested in the topic, come join the discussion!
