There does not have to be much, if any, SEO cost. It depends on what you are selling and where you are selling it. Someone like Tango34uk, who has done his homework and picked a dedicated niche group to concentrte on can do quite well on forums and blogs. By chatting with members nd building some trust he can become a supplier in that fashion.
Getting traffic to your site is important, I'm not mini9mizing that, but there are ways other than sweating over where you are listed on Google each day. SEO is not the goal, page rank is not the goal, sales are the goal - money in the bank. And that can be achieved with little outlay.
paul., many here have online stores with me. Frankly, some come and go, may last 3 months and give it up. Others have been with me for quite some time and are very satisfied with their shops. Like anything else, they do take some time getting going, and then some upkeep is required, pulling down old stock, adding new, etc.
You can get started with me for under $ 6. Plus your domain name. Most don't go with the monthly fee, but pay quarterly or annually, which brings down the per month cost. Most use the free CubeCart V3, but some opt for the $ 129 V4. And some use other carts entirely.
Send me an email at pete at smallbusinesshoster dot com and I'll be glad to go into details with you.
