Your first step is to find goods that you can sell that people want, at a price point that means you can buy low enough to offer at a price that people will want to pay.

I have already found a super product obtaining at very low price.
Now the next step is to have an own website displaying the information. (This is due to the special need for my product).
I have heard that from China there are super cheap domain name and web hosting (some kind of Chinese Double 11 super sales).
Have any one tried this before (now dot top)? Crazy price USD1 per domain.
And after buying what should I do?

Is anyone answering me?
It seems that the sales end tomorrow.
Poor student does not want to waste extra money, although I am clever lol.

It is more proper to sell via my website. It looks so cheap if I do it on eBay.
Further, I would also like to learn to make website through this experience.

The U.K. gambling industry...
This kind of abuse of the word "industry" irks me somehow.
There is nothing industrious nor productive in the betting "industry".

'twas a major culture shock to me when I moved here and saw gambling be advertised as if it were a perfectly normal part of daily life.
Given your comment here, it probably isn't all that normal/acceptable among decent people, but the gambling "industry" would desperately like everyone to think otherwise. The adverts appear to portray sports gambling as even a "cool" thing to take part in.

I am from France originally.
I currently live in Australia and while the betting "industry" is not that big here, I have sometimes witnessed usage of the industry word for sector such as betting, real estate (resales, NOT construction), advertising and law. All of which makes me very disappointed with the current economy...

You are wrong, it is very common at all levels of society.

Which society? Oh, don't bother. I take that as your way of saying that you gamble.

It's pretty rampant here Rajesh, it's been a saying for decades that Australians would bet on two flies on a wall. For a period of time (no more than a decade or so ago) NSW was home to 25% of the worlds poker machines. Many of our governments State and Federal rely on taxes from gambling, cigarettes and alcohol. Funnily enough the first and last can still advertse but need disclaimers advising they are bad and addictive.

That says a lot; I stand corrected, and I'm speechless.
It somehow comes across as a "not so good" thing to me no matter how many of the adverts I see. It might probably have something to do with the society I grew up in where gambling is mostly illegal and is looked down upon.

No, I dont, but in British society it is very common.

Bingo! which it's gaining popularity in Italy as well!

In Italy there are a dozen of lotteries, two very popular number-extracting games (Lotto and SuperEnalotto), a couple of soccer-related betting games (Totocalcio and Totogoal) and since 15 years videopokers in every bar (we have a LOT of bars, about 1 every 200 m on average with peaks of 5 bars in the same square... they are called bars but actually are coffee shops but sell also liquors and pastries) and several betting shops where yuo can bet using the handful of legal and taxed betting companies.
All kind of population bets: consummate professionals, athletes, celebrities, old people who spend the whole pension or sell their houses, students who pool togehter in organized betting schemes, unoccupied people... It's far more popular than what it looks on the outside.
I don't bet, except seldomly with/against friendly people on common occurrences ("I bet 10 coffees that the boss will tell us to do <dumbest choice="" between="" a="" handful="">", "5€ that <obnoxious colleague=""> will greet us with <predictable sentence="">", etc). Or when I'm 100% sure to win but that exploiting dumbness.

For many people in Britain, it is a normal part of daily life. For some people it is the only thing they care about. For the rest of us, we may have the odd flutter on the Grand National, or occasionally buy a lottery ticket.

POPEHAT 2016 ELECTION DAY GUIDE | Popehat[^]
While I'm certain there will be quibbles (to say the least) about the complete text, the short version covers everything you really need to know about today:
Quote: Balvenie (17 Year)
Hibiki 17 year
Angel's Envy
Ardbeg (10 Year)
Hendrick's Gin
...
Drink enough of ... [any of them], fast enough, and you'll get hammered.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
