The World Wide Brands web site is also full of useful articles and other informatiAbout a year ago, consumed by financial worries and despair, I embraced a brilliant idea. I would make an immediate fortune with an online store. It was that whole “build it and they will come” mentality.

I plunged in. Never mind the fact that I had no product to sell, no knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO) — or even HTML for that matter. I didn’t even have a clue about how I was going to get my ideas onto a web page in cyber space.

First off, I faced two tasks. They went hand-in-hand — a “chicken before the egg” or vice versa sort of quandary. I had to decide what kind of products I was going to sell — and what supplier I’d get them from. And there was the major question: how I was going to get those products to my customers?

After a lot of research, I found the drop ship alternative.

It was a good solution, but it presented an entirely new set of problems. A plethora of middlemen claimed to be wholesalers in the drop ship business. Fortunately, instinct kicked in — my natural distrust for anything that sounds too good to be true served me well. But wading through all those promises meant continued research that ate up countless hours.

Eventually, I reached a point where it seemed as if almost every link led me back to a company that looked solid: World Wide Brands.

Brands. Instead of acting as a middleman, World Wide Brands is a portal that connects businesses with drop shippers. The staff at World Wide Brands does the research on drop shippers, quality checks the vendors and lists their contact information. The World Wide Brands web site is also full of useful articles and other information that helped me move forward.

But that’s where their service ends. Any products I decided to sell would come from the drop shippers, and from that point on, I would deal directly with the individual companies.

Knowing I’d finally found the information I needed, I scoured the World Wide Brands database, looking for just the right products to carry. And as I searched, it suddenly became clear to me: Businesses that do legitimate business only do business with legitimate companies.

I needed to become a legitimate business myself. So, I formed my company (a sole proprietorship), opened a business checking account, obtained a state tax ID, located an accountant... With that, I figured I was well on my way.

But the drop ship companies I wanted to deal with had a “want” of their own. They wanted to know who planned to carry their products. This led me to that second problem I mentioned above. I needed to create a web presence, a way to get my products to my customers.

To build a site, I needed something simple and straightforward — something that offered the tools I needed: email, web hosting, and domain registration. I wanted a one-stop shop with support. I found this at Yahoo! Merchant Solutions. Yahoo!’s SiteBuilder program is great for beginners or even for proprietors of
