What Does It Take to Make Money Online?
Copyright 2004, Darrell Knox
What a loaded question! Let's narrow that down a bit and take
it from the perspective of someone who wants to work from home
and make money online in a home business. That will make it an
easier question to answer.
Let's assume you've never had a website, don't know how to get
a merchant account, don't know html, and are pretty much stuck
with being an expert on sending and receiving email.
What's there for you to do online to make money? Lots, in fact!
These days are not at all like a couple of years ago or even six
months ago. If I only had all the opportunities to make money
online when I started marketing!
Here is a list of things you can do with just a website and a
hosting account today:
Sell affiliate products (products like reports, ebooks, hard
goods of every conceivable make, model, size, shape and
function, and much, much more).
Sell services (do you know how big a business being a Virtual
Assistant is these days? It's quite amazing what you can do for
people without ever meeting them face-to-face, anywhere in the
world!)
Online auctions (Ebay has made thousands and thousands of people
full-time incomes from auctioning collectibles, antiques, and
even brand new equipment and gadgets of all imaginable types.
You name it, it has been sold on Ebay!)
Membership sites: Know of any groups of people that would love
to get insider information on virtually any topic? You could
make money online with a membership site!
The list is a long one and one I am not prepared to detail here.
You have found your way onto the net and if you have been
surfing for very long at all you know it is a gigantic super
shopping mall. Who to you think is making the most money online?
Aside from big corporations, most of the web is made up of sites
put up by little businesses people work from home.
I sell information and I love it. Most of the products I sell
are other merchants' products. I just drive traffic to my site,
provide information, and point to relevant products related to
the information I provide people looking for a way to make money
online. I love helping people make their first few sales.
After that, they are always hooked and cannot do enough to learn
everything there is to know about how to make money online. Many
people I have worked with now have a couple to several websites
selling everything from reports to hard goods that can be
shipped direct to their customers.
Most people start out to make money online as affiliates of
certain products or authors. This is a great way to get your
feet wet and learn what making money online is all about.
People then either work to create their own products (which
they get 100% of the profits from) or expand their website
into other related niches.
