Yahoo Store Profits FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is having a Yahoo! Store as good as having a store built using a regular website?

Absolutely! In our opinion, it’s better. Yahoo! Stores are much easier and cheaper to build and it comes with bonuses you can’t get anywhere else but Yahoo! Like a spot in the Yahoo! Shopping Network, a built in shopping cart, highly crawlable code, discounts to Overture, Biz Rate, and Shopping.com, and merchant account operability that only takes a few clicks to set up.

What is the average set up cost for a Yahoo! Store?

If you follow the steps in our system you can set up your store for less than $200! Now, that money includes all of the licenses you'll need to create a legitimate business - we're talking Tax ID number, Business License, Drop Ship resources... Everything you need to get your store going. Now, we have customers that also spend hundreds of dollars a month in advertising - but they do it because they've taken the time to prove that their store is producing real dollars for them.. There's really 2 ways to do this - you can spend time and do it inexpensively, or you can spend money and do it quickly. It all depends on how you want to pursue your business.

Can I sell E-Books in my Yahoo! Store?

Yes. Yahoo! has a download feature which will allow you to sell E-Books, software and other downloadable goods in your store. It’s easy, all you have to do is create your listing, upload the product, set the price and you’re ready!

Why do I need your system if Yahoo! has a built in help section?

Two reasons. First, our system covers more than just the Yahoo! interface. We provide marketing tip and strategies, product ideas and sources and search engine tips. Basically our system shows you everything you need to build your business from the ground up.

Second, we did a survey of over 500 Yahoo! Store owners and asked them how they fared using Yahoo!’s help system when they set up their store. 95% of them said there was simply not enough information. Most had to wait days (and sometimes weeks) for a reply when they had a question. And when it came to the Variables section, most people gave up. Either they paid a ton of money to have a web designer help them or they simply left things alone. The average set up without our system is 77 days. A lot of these store owners have purchased Yahoo! Store Profits just for the variables section!

What if Yahoo! changes something in their interface?

They have, and do, and will. Every time this has happened, we update the books. We've done it 6 times since the book was first published, and we'll do it again as soon as we deem it necessary. Sometimes, we just add things to the books because we learn something new - that's why they are now a total of over 420 pages. You can also subscribe to our newsletter and we will keep you up to date on any changes or new features added by Yahoo!

If I come across a wholesaler or drop shipper that I’m not sure about, can I write to you to ask your opinion?

Of course! We have dealt with literally hundreds of wholesale/drop shippers. If you’re unsure of ones policies or just don’t know what to ask, let us know we’ve probably had some contact with them in the past.

Do you have a Guarantee?

Yep. It's a 100% Money Back. See our Order Page for Details.

Do you guys offer a support line for questions?

The only way we could do that is if we charged hundreds of dollars for the system. Please understand, and we're not trying be difficult - we actually run several stores. We have more than 40 other web sites that we manage, and we have private customers that we consult for. The entire reason we wrote the book is so that we wouldn't have to spend 6 hours a day on the phone. If you become a customer, you can email us with questions. If you have a special need, or want to become a private client, let us know and we'll work something out.

Important! We do not control Yahoo! While we make every effort to understand and educate our customers as it pertains to their E-Commerce System, we do not have the power to resolve technical issues. If we can help or suggest a solution, we will -- but we are not in a position to provide any sort of Technical Support except where our Material is concerned.
