I always get so many great ideas for internet businesses that I think would do really well.  I have a bit of a creative site if I do say so myself.  And an entrepreneurial spirit.  I have even taken classes at a local community college on operating a small business.  The only problem, and the biggest problem, is I don't know how to build a website!  I don't know the first thing about html and all those different languages.  It is amazing to me just how many people DO know how to do all that stuff though, as I can tell from my various visits to people's websites through my job.

There are really so many different aspects to running a business besides the initial creation of a good looking site though.  You have to decide who your distributors are going to be or if you are going to create something yourself to sell.  Then you have to market your site to people who may be interested in purchasing your product.  Last but DEFINETLY not least is how will you take payment from your customers?  I have heard so many horror stories about people calling their credit card companies to contest payments and the business gets screwed because the credit card companies have to act on behalf of their credit card holders for the most part. 

There are plenty of companies out there who will help you in being able to do credit card transactions.  Because I mean, who needs the hastle of always going through PayPal or ack, waiting for checks of COD's?  That is absolute murder on your cash flow!

One of the companies I found has a ton of information on this page.  All I did was google up some information on 'credit card purchases' and merchant research information and I found so much great information on this Merchant Account company!
