A business is NOT about products and services. A business is about what result you can get for your clients.

If you are planning to start eCommerce venture . Then first requirement to have excellent website .
Its recommended to get it developed using Open-source technology like Opencart or Magento .
These platforms are responsive by default and very reliable .
You can also use companies like shopify which provide all solutions ( like website creation, payment gateways and shipping) under one roof .
Once website is complete its suggested to start both SEO and SEM campaigns.

Hope this helps .

It's a broad question and the answer cannot be given in few words. Setting up an e-commerce business is not that tough but maintaining it is indeed. Whether the products or services you intend to provide are local or national. Right from the delegation of work to constant expanding of business, tapping onto areas unearthed and looking for fresh talents that is recruiting people all are necessary for running a successful e-commerce business. I being myself running such e-commerce business could shed some more light on various aspects of e-commerce - mistakes I did , the do's and don'ts' for new and also existing ones .More on this sometime later.

OP,

I'm curious as to why/how you came to the conclusion that e-commerce is the future. Do you feel that way about e-commerce AND many other online business models? Or do you feel e-commerce will be the best model in the future?

I don't know all of the in's and out's but I'm not so sure I agree. I digress because you didn't ask for that....

As to how to run a successful e-commerce business, the fundamentals apply: Identify your target market, find their pain, find the solution ot it, then get the right people and systems in place to deliver, test until you've identified the price that yields a profit, and execute phenomenal customer service.

It doesn't matter if it's offline or online really.

First of all, you have to find a reliable and affordable vendor to develop a GOOD, secure and able to process high load website or platform.
In most cases outsourcing company from Eastern Europe is the best choice as they offer the best value for money.
It is better to chose a company that has all experts needed (developers, designers, QA, technical experts, marketing, SEO/SMM specialists) as in most cases they can deal with all website related tasks/issues and offer all-inclusive services.
All clients who order development services for eCommerce ask for help with either design, or promotion, or tech maintenance.

Secondly, you have to do a proper and constant SEO optimization.
A platform won't be successful and won't bring traffic if it is not optimized according to the best google search results.
Moreover, if you have a lot of competitors, it is better to rank by KWs with capacity by 500 results/month.

Thirdly, if you want to have a successful eCommerce platform you need good Customer Support team. It is very time-consuming and expensive to have in-house team, still, as far as we have told already, there are companies that offer all-inclusive services including this one.
