eCommerce Economy

Commerce is taking a beating in the 2009 economy, but don’t worry!  There is always a new way to make money.  Especially when you apply economies of scale. 

Take this for example.  If the economy is so bad, then why is Wal-Mart, McDonald’s and some online retailers having record breaking earnings?  Because people like to save money as much as anyone else.  So let’s take a look at a growing trend in eCommerce that maybe, just maybe, will help you bump on over to the next level.  And don’t worry, I’m going to tell you who the online retailer is that is having record breaking quarters (in a bad economy).

It’s the growing segment of the the population turning to SEO and eCommerce.  Yep, no sooner did the mortgage industry end, that you now have a bunch of former mortgage professionals dialing every number on the yellow pages trying to sell a person "1st spot placement on Google."  Have you received one of those calls yet? Wait.  You’re next.

However, the other of this new phenomenon is the growing side of eCommerce.

Now, when you thing eCommerce you probably think Amazon and eBay, but there is a huge economic force moving through the economy that is creating jobs as well as fortunes for those that figure out the path.  And that is the new busines of converting a brick and mortar store into an eCommerce business.  This is the new path to making money for most retailers, yet many are still scratching their heads trying to figure out exactly what is going on.

So here is what is going on.  Some, that have figured it out are making money; and the others are not.  So how can this benefit you?  Easy. 

• Go look into Yahoo Merchant Solutions and read up a bit on a Yahoo Store.
• Go look into ProStores which is the competitor to Yahoo and read up a bit on a ProStore.

What these business tools are doing is making it possible for you to take a businesses’ inventory of items and upload them to the internet.  But not by taking pictures of them and putting them on the internet eBay style.  No,  this is catalog wide uploads.

Want a new career?  Learn the business of catalog products for online retailers.  That is where the economy is heading, and that is where the money is.  For more information, visit some of these additional resources.  I will write about some specific solutions like eCarts and Order Management solutions you can use in the next posting, where I will also fill you in on that quarter busting retailer.  In the meantime, if you want more than just a job in eCommerce, make sure you invest in a good book about Yahoo Store, ProStores or even Amazon and you’ll see things really start to change for your business.  Of course, if the business next door isn’t saying anything about it, its because he knows better. 

When you see them close, its not because of the bad economy; it’s usually because they just bought the warehouse down the street.
