Storesonline does not fulfill it's promise. It has a great ecommerce development environment. However, I could never download the basic tutorial until I accidentily got in contact with fOlks from the second leg of their business model. That's right business model. THEY'RE THE FOLKS WHO CONTACT YPOU ABOUT A MONTH AFTER YOUR PURCHASE OFFERING SPECIALIZED GUIDANCE FOR ABOUT $1000 MORE. THEY KNOW THE AVERAGE PERSON IS PROBABLY A BIT OVERWHELMEDAT THIS POINT. These folks graciously emailed the material (A year after I strarted my website)as the chat folks consistenly refused to do( said the files were too large). I can download word and adobe on all of my other 4 computers.

They suck you in with promises of assisted marketing "training" and instant chat. Without the documents you don't know how to set up your target markets, and many other pertinent features.

I could never get an answer for the chat except for one occasion I was so pissed because my 650 product records dissappeared. I pulled out the read deal. I said "look, I was a programmer for 5 years, I've been an network administrator for 7 years, and guess what else, MY UNCLE IS A FEDERAL JUDGE! GET MY PRODUCTS BACK". Instantly, the answer appeared. "Click this switch" was the reply. Wow! There were my records again.

They also promised programmer support. I submitted a request and got an acknowlegement of submission 2 weeks later. Oh, well, I've learned quite a bit of JAVA script since then.

I've also learned a lot about the many players to bring this business together. I'm not profitable yet. It's been a year and I've only set one website up. I broke the cardinal rule of keeping the product focus small for a website. Home decor, it's cost me lot's of programming time and I also set the website up for face to face selling and flexible product pricing.

I have'nt submerged myself into the Marketing area they promissed to guide me through. However, I have researched it, it's scary, but I'm willing to put in the work.

Storesonline doesn't fulfill it's promise in spirit, but I would say it does by the letter if I were able to download the guides. AND THAT THIER "TRICK".

StoresOnline doesn't sell ISP services, they sell internet merchant services, or bullsh#t. The problem is not in the merchandise offered - that's never the complaint - it's StoresOnline's services that are faulty. They are actually in the seminar business. If they ran their company in the same professional manner with the same enthusiasm as they conduct their sales seminars, they wouldn't have unhappy customers or websites on the internet warning people not to do business with them -

What you posted would be great if Storesonline was setup as a business opportunity provider, but they aren't. Their business license sets them up as an "internet service provider", which means they don't technically provide anything for you to sell, only the means for which you sell your product. In other words, they are like a property owner from whence you lease your sale space...so they are exempt from business opportunity laws and practices.

I used to be a programmer for this company, and I felt bad ever day that I could not help merchants by providing or even suggesting proven profitable products and services for them to market/resell on their sites. It is possible to make money on the internet, but what Storesonline fails to tell their potential customers is that it is hard work, requires a lot of effort, and is best done by keeping expenses low until you have the income to justify higher expenses. By doing a bit more research and not falling prey to sales pitches and learning how to use easy-to-use web-based programming tools, an entrepeneur can build their own store online for as little as $60/yr. Even with 10 hours of help from a professional, it can cost less than $400.
