Wordpress is not a great platform for online stores, some payment processing services won't allow it because of the security holes. It's fine for putting a simple catalog online yourself, perhaps including original articles to help gain search engine ranking.
Consider first selling through a marketplace like Ebay or Amazon, which have ready made customers as a simpler way to gain some experience, there are also dedicated ecommerce site hosts with shopping carts and payment processing built in, which might cost $20 - $50 month.
Ultimately you ma find getting prospects to the site to be a bigger challenge than setting up the site, free search engine traffic is more difficult for sales sites that don't have valuable content in the search engines' eyes. Paid advertising may be needed to scale up sales volume.
I'm making good profit with penny stock
Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info
Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.

WordPress is surely the best blogging platform on the planet.
I want to sell several products. According to this website it'll cost me a lot of money.
http://www.designquote.net/html/dq_estimate_wizard.cfm
I have checked:
Basic Word Press type website
No unique graphics
Contact forms
Simple cart shopping
Credit Card Processing
Paypal
Database reports
Traffic Statistic Reports
Search Engine submissions
Press release submissions
Twitter Integration
Facebook page
Here's what I'd like for my website. I'd like it to sell 5-10 different products. I'm going to have on-going contests/sweepstakes promotions to promote sales. Those are the two main goals of the website, every thing else on it would be used to support them. The contests require that I have the option for contact forms to inform people who win, and some basic control of other means to enter the contest on the website. I figure this means I will need some kind of database reports.
Is there any expenses that I have forgotten to add, or that are unnecessary?
This will apparently cost $1700-$2300. Is this accurate?
