Creating a blog store: blog + online store for mum/dad-preneurs

We often come across many people especially stay-at-home mumpreneurs running businesses from home and their means of marketing is usually through word-of-mouth or social networks or good will or other possible ways which are easily managed from home. They have the talent, they have the product but the only thing missing may be a shop or an outlet. Physical setup might not be feasible but starting a blogshop or an online store with a blog might not be a bad option though. You could not only engage people on to your blog but also sell your stuff online to the similar target market. Also, the setup cost will be significantly lower and the overall business turnover might increase. You will also have a liberty to run business irrespective of any physical location.
