Tyrone, I am in the initial stages of developing an e-commerce website. I am interested in learning about the economics of e-commerce…profitability projections, size of market for my products, relationship of marketing/advertising budget to net operating income (rules of thumb) and similiar type information. Can you recommend a source for this information?
Thank you.

Thanks
