Choose the name for your online Christian bookstore. You need a memorable and catchy name so that people remember to revisit and tell others about your website. Use your store's name as the domain name for your website as well.
Register your store's domain name and purchase web hosting package. Websites like Mad Dog and GoDaddy offer affordable prices on registering website domain names.
Build a website for your online store. Create a website using tools provided by your web hosting company. Include multiple pages for inventory and check-out to give your Christian bookstore a professional-looking appearance. Design a logo for your home page, complete with information and updates about sales and products. Organize your book inventory that is user friendly and easily to access through topic and author. Post photographs of each product and include a detailed description for each. Allow buyers to rate and comment on books.
Create a customer service and contact page for your Christian bookstore. Your customers need a method of contacting you about purchases and returns. Providing excellent customer service is crucial to starting a successful online Christian bookstore. Leave a business phone number and email address for customers to reach you.
Find distributors for your bookstore. Buy books below retail price to make a profit. The two largest distributors are Christianbook.com and Word Distribution. Research their sites and make calls to customer service to see what you can purchase in bulk or deals they provide to small online sellers. Ask if the distributor can ship directly to your customers. If not, incorporate monthly business expenses for packing and shipping materials, postage scales and postage fees.
Sign-up for an account with Paypal. Paypal provides online businesses with the ability to accept direct payments, electronic checks and credit card transactions for merchandise that sells. This allows you to serve customers who don't feel comfortable paying directly on your site or sending you checks or money orders.
Register with Google AdWords to advertise your business. As of 2010, through Google AdWords you create an ad campaign using keywords to drive online traffic to your website. The more traffic that visits your online Christian store, the more books you sell. This is not a free service. You are charged per click or keyword from people who click on your website or ad.
Join Internet Christian discussion forums to promote your bookstore. Sign up and spend time participating in the forums and posting frequently about your online store. Promote your business with members of your church and community. Post an add on your church's bulletin and website, if possible.

How to Start Your Own Manga Store OnlineIn Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Get your manga comics. If you already own a manga book store, you won't need any additional inventory. If you need to choose between distributors, search around your locality or online, make a list of all wholesale distributors and evaluate them based on factors such as delivery, quality, deadlines and reputation.You may be able to ship the books without re-packaging them, since the original packaging may be professional and suitable for distribution. If you choose to make your own comics, make a list of how much time, effort and money you spend on each book. Evaluate the three options and choose a suitable one for you.
Get a computer and a reliable Internet connection. Sign up for an email account. You will need several email accounts to establish an Internet business, sell products and earn money.
Get a credit card or debit card from your local bank. This is necessary to buy products and services for your online business.
Do a study to determine a reasonable price for your products. Base the price on quality, number of pages or author. If you charge more than your competitors, your sales will be affected. In your price study, include a price comparison of other distributors selling similar manga comics with the same amount of pages. Also include manga prices from top-selling authors or popular comics. You may also conduct an informal survey with manga fans by asking them how much they would pay for your type of comic. Try to ask as many people as possible to get a sense of the best possible price.
Register your own domain name through sites such as godaddy.com or namecheap.com.
Register your web hosting package to ensure that it runs 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The web hosting package provides website bandwidth so people can see it online. Base the size of the hosting package on the number of views you expect. The more views you expect, the larger the hosting package you will need to purchase. You will need to pay a monthly or yearly fee. You can compare the prices of various providers and choose based on your budget. Prices usually run between $40 to $300 a month depending on your bandwidth need (as of September 2010).
Create a website. Make sure the design and layout are appealing and pleasing. Hire a designer if necessary. Use free services such as weebly.com or wix.com to create preliminary website ideas. Create your own sales and thank you pages.
Get a merchant account and register with a credit card processor. A merchant account is a business bank account linked to your website. It allows you to accept payments on the Internet. Credit card processors are free, but merchant accounts charge a fee. PayPal and Google Checkout both act as a combination of merchant accounts and credit card processors.
Secure your website. Take measures to ensure that your payment gateway is secure so that your clients can rely on it. Hire a webmaster to test your site.
Promote your website through submission in search engines, directories, blogs, newsletters, forums and discussion groups. Listing your site in popular directories such as dmegs.com and other blogs that cover the manga industry can increase traffic to your site.
