How can I make my internet business a success?

I am thinking about starting up an internet business making and selling handmade cards – birthday, wedding, sympathy etc. I know there are a million and one other people doing this kind of thing, so how should I go about getting my site on the first page of a search engine? I have absolutely no idea about web design but am willing to learn. I’ve tried selling on Ebay but would like my own site as I begrudge paying Ebay so much in fees!! Oh and btw I live in the UK if this makes a difference, although I would be happy to mail my products all over the world.

The key thing is finding the words that people will use to find your products.
If you choose the wrong words people will not find your site.
Once on site the, information needs to be easy to read, clear type and clean uncluttered backgrounds.
Use a digital camera to take photos and keep taking pictures of each item, until you are sure the pictures are in focus and show every detail. Make sure the background to each picture enhances the product.
When you are satisfied invite someone who is not computer literate to use the site. Listen to their problems and concerns change and improve.
