Yahoo!: Money mistakes that cost you thousands

There is an expression that says 'a fool and his money are soon parted', however you don't have to be a fool to throw a lot of money out of the window; the lack of knowledge, information, the right tools or software can end up with the same result and consequences.

It may seem simple to start up an online business, but a lot of money can go by the wayside when you are wasting all your time trying to set up a website and are not making good use of the quick, easy, and helpful eCommerce Software that is available.

Your business could be profitable in no time, because it only takes a few simple steps to get your site up and running; select and personalize your site's design, activate it, obtain your domain name and make sure your site is optimized for the search engines. The latter sounds harder then it is, because you will be taken by the hand and guided through it.

After that all that is left to do is submit it to the search engines, which is done with a few clicks. That is all there is to it and with this knowledge you no longer have an excuse for pouring money down the drain, but every reason for coining it soon!
