:confused: Hello everyone!
I am a fist timer here and maybe I have a very stupid question.
I would like to start an Internet website soon. B2B Horizontal Marketplace (not car
related), very similar just like www.Alibaba.com. Similar business model and the same platform. I am not a rich guy. I just sold my website recently (www.usedcarsinbc.om I build this site from the scratch without any help and without any prior IT knowledge (I am not bragging). One day I decided to set-up a site and I just did it. I know it is a very Mickey Mouse website but made me a good money in the past 4 years). I want to invest some of the profit to build a new business.
I was looking around and try to buy a software or use the e-commerce site but very hard to find a right one. I think if I will use some kind of platform or software and develop or modified from there I will get somewhere to start. If I hire a firm or company, they charge me a fortune ($10-15K).
As I mentioned, I am very simple guy. Don’t have too much technical knowledge and money. However I know how to do business. I can pay or we can work out something. I will buy a defined template but I don’t know anything about programming. My time frame is around 2 months and if will work out with someone(s) it can be a long-term work relationship.
Sorry guys if I ask my questions in the wrong place but any suggestion or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
