However, if you want to start your legitimate, ethical internet business without a website or even any know how there are some great ways to hit the ground running.
Despite having no 'techie' skills or even owning a website it is still possible to earn a great income and quit the day job, work less and start enjoying the life you thoroughly deserve.
One such opportunity is called 'Affiliate Marketing' and is in my opinon, hands down the quickest and easiest way to make money online.
Your only responsibility comes down to how many people you can send to your seller's website and how fast you can count your commissions!
If you are unfamiliar with this term, it is basically promoting other people's products and earning commissions from the owner for every sale you generate (typically of about 50% of the full price it is being sold for).
Not bad really if you can get started by earning five to ten commissions a day for only a few hours work.
While you are promoting other peoples' products and earning a healthy commission, you can develop your marketing techniques that will become valuable skills for your future business.
It is also made a lot easier with the help of promotional tools provided by the vendor specifically to help his affiliates. Find a product with a recurring commission and you will continue to get paid for as long as that person stays a member of the programme.
The advantages of launching your online ventures with this kind of business are that you DON'T NEED ;
- to build a website
- to have any technical knowledge
- to create your own products
- a customer support site
- to write long sales letters
- a big budget or investment
- any of the other headaches associated with selling your own product
Each affiliate program should give you help and guidelines on how to use their affiliate links and drive traffic to their offers and ultimately show you how to make money online without a website.
As ever though my best advice would be to plan ahead, most successful marketers spend about 90% of their time planning and 10% in execution. Do your due diligence and learn about various marketing techniques such as writing compelling product endorsements, blog writing and article submissions.
There are even high quality coaching programmes that offer step by step instruction on how to get the best out of your affiliate business for a modest, monthly fee. It is again wise to research this and even network with successful marketers in a similar field so that you can learn from their first hand experience and also their mistakes!
To set out as an affiliate it is recommended that you start in an area that you're already interested in.
For example, a hobby, favourite past time or just something you enoy doing and then look for products related to that area of interest that have an affiliate program you can sign up for.
All you need to do then is register for their affiliate programme where you will get a unique affiliate link which you promote by driving tons of visitors to it.
There are many useful sites that have high quality content about what it takes to become a successful affiliate and when you are first starting out it is essential to put in the hard work and determination necessary so that you don't have to in the long run.
So you see starting an internet business without a website can start putting money in your pocket from day one.....so what are you waiting for?
Get to work....!
