I got confused on your discussion first you want to open an internet cafe but doesn't have any experience and your main product is embroidery. I think that you should concentrate first on what your expertise, and I don't advice to put you up an internet cafe, it is not profitable nowadays because netbook and connection are now becoming bargains, plus the stress on how to maintain and resolves your daily problems with hardware and software.

I was confused too. But with the first one, you need a good capital to start an internet shop because you need to have at least 11 computers to start one. Next is to take in consideration of how fast computers are changing nowadays, in 3 years time, will the specs of the computer you are buying will still cope up with the trend or the demands of the users. I help a relative set up an internet shop 3 years ago, after a month, internets shops change in using lcd monitor which prices also dropped. As he puchased the CRT monitor though it is barely a month old, customers still prefer shops with LCD monitor. Though he was luckier that his shop is in our province wherein my auntie's business is bedspace for rent, so he still have direct customers. Its been 3 years now, and he visited me yesterday. He was planning to close the shop and just make the place for rent. His computer are too old now and students prefer a newer ones, and it could not cope up with the pc requirement of new online games. With regards on online store, you could always do this along with your offline work. Try to established it first before you resign, it would always be good to have something to fall on. Goodluck!

Well coming up with an internet shop is definitely a good idea. A lot of people are now online buying things and many more are coming. It has become a trend already. But of course you need to insure that you have an optimized website to gain visitors. The key to selling products online is not only having a website or an online shop but also on making sure that your shop gains traffic or visitors and from there generate sales. Practically, I think the most important thing about online shops are getting visitors. Without them, then there is no sales. I wish you good luck and hope you can come up with such shop.

Without having any experience, how do you dare to quit your present job and jump into uncertainty? I would rather suggest you to continue your present job and to start an online store as an additional source of income.
