商务英语口语对话:网上开店赚大钱

A: Earning extra income on the Internet is easier than you might think. After I started selling traditional craft items on the Internet last year, I have really been able to make bank doing something I love.

B: Is that right? I hear all these horror stories of internet business crashing because there is not enough of a customer base yet. How can you be sure your idea will cash in?

A: To run a successful internet business, it requires a little research and relatively small investment. You've got to have a good idea of some kind of product that is in demand or would be popular.

B: That's marketing research.... But what about getting started once you have an idea?

A: After you have your great idea, then you can set up shop by registering a domain name, creating a website, an email address, and a hosting service. If you want to go all out on your website, you can put together shopping cart technology, but that can be pricey to start out with.

B: Sounds like a lot of work!

A: Anything worth doing takes work. Money doesn't grow on trees....Most of us have to work for it.
