Getting all the product photos
Rescanning the photos that look like crap
Writing product descriptions
Getting a hosting company
Investigating e-commerce software
RTFM for the software
Building the site itself
Uploading the graphics and the text
What is it worth if you could be up and running in 24 hours from when you said 'Let's do it'?
