how to start a online bead store?

How much would it cost to start a small home base online bead shop? How much beads would I need for inventory?

1. Get a host for under $10 per month, create a web page with the web site software they give you, promote your web page to get people to visit it. http://ewebsmith.com has a lot of free stuff to help you with this. Your inventory depends on how much you sell. It takes about 3 months of promotional activities before people start buying so don't go buy a huge inventory.
2. Swarovski is most expensive and high invest: abt $20 000 for all colours complete in bicone and rounds shape ONLY!!! Next very exp is , some precious stone . Next will be chez glass beads and other precious beads like Tensha Beads, Lampwork Beads, etc. You may need abt $100 000 if you want to setup one complete range. But if you will start in very small quantity, maybe we can help. www.mybeadpoint.com
