I have questions!!! I want to start an online bookstore but can’t seem to figure out where to start, where to get my inventory, do I really need inventory or can I outsource? I have a lot of questions and would love to pick your brain.
Hey there, I usually get my inventory from either my own stash of books I have already read or donations! I am sure you can find places to outsource from but I have not done that yet as I have been pretty steady with donations! I hope this helps!
Hello Michelle! What I want to build is a website where I share serialized release of my fictions. Some chapters will be free and some only for paid membership. Any tips? I will really appreciate it.
Do you have a Facebook Group? This can be a powerful tool to help you release your work to a centralized audience who is interested in your work. Another way to earn money while sharing is to use a beacons page. I personally have not used one but I hear great things from others. You can have a membership people can sign up for to get special things or bonus items! I hope this helps!
Hey there! Just had a quick question! Are you registered with your state as a buisness? Every time I see things about starting an online store it mentions having to register for with your state and IRS for taxes. Not sure if you've covered that yet.
As of right now, no. I am small enough where it hasn't been an issue and I work through my website as far as taxes go but I have looked into it with my local town hall for future! I hope this helps!

What image size do you upload
It depends on what image I am using. I typically use an instagram size phot which is 1080 x 1080 px
New subscriber. Does Wix charge fees?
Depending on what you use yes, There is a free site you can use but they will have their advertisement on it.

Check into your local town hall! When I do this next step, I will be sure to make a video about it!
