This is a paid review of Ashop Commerce.  The Daily Machete only endorses companies that can provide quality service to job seekers - that's why we're happy to review Ashop Commerce.

At some point, many job seekers consider starting their own business.  Some try it and others wonder how.

The truth of the matter is most businesses succeed if they have the right foundation.  If you want to sell your products and/or services online, then it's essential to have a way for your customers to pay you.  This means having  quality shopping cart software so that your clients can easily pay you.

A great way to accomplish this is with Ashop Commerce.  They're a leading provider of shopping cart software.  The service is web based - so you don't have to download a thing.  This is a great idea - particularly for job seekers testing their self employment options out (after all, you've probably got enough stuff on your hard drive as it is).  And, since most who are looking for their next job (and considering self employment) aren't IT professionals, you don't have to worry about programming a thing.

As a job seeker, you know all about keeping track of stuff.  You have to track who you sent resumes to, who you've interviewed with, how long it's been since you followed up with your contacts, etc.  Keeping track of your work search actually helps you improve it.

Ditto with selling stuff online.  With Ashop Commerce's handy shopping cart software, you're able to have product reports and keep track of your stock.

You'll also be able to track foreign currencies, accept credit card transactions in real time, and even calculate taxes and other charges.

There are tons of other ways Ashop Commerce can help you make the leap from job seeker to sole proprietor with their shopping cart software.    But if you still need more convincing, they'll give you a free 10 day trial!

If you're deciding between working for someone or starting your own business, perhaps Ashop's shopping cart software can help make your decision a bit easier.
