3 Key Online Business Ideas!

Here are 3 online business ideas you can start from almost scratch. You only need money for, at minimum, a hosting account and an autoresponder account. You could even do without the autoresponder if you’re not bothered about building your list at first, or you could get a free version with adverts in. However, do not get a free hosting account as you could have lots of adverts and they might close down suddenly.

Idea One

Sell someone else’s product as an affiliate. Choose your niche and choose a product within it with a good (at least 50%) return on the price. Or go to Clickbank(TM) and choose a product from there. With this idea you don’t even need a hosting account. You set up a presell page, your own sales or review page, about the product, at a site such as Squidoo. Give the benefits of the product and how it can be useful or solve a problem for the reader. Make sure you’re using good keywords in your preselling. At the end, direct them to the merchant’s sales page. They’ll do the rest, including sending you the money. Get traffic to the presell page by writing articles. This is probably the easiest of the online business ideas.

Idea Two

Set up a content site. A blog is best for this as you can keep adding material. Choose something you’re interested in that you can write about – preferably you already have some expertise or authority in the topic. But make sure enough people will be interested in the topic, and enough interested people will buy products to do with that topic. Do your research on keywords in the topic, and your competition. For example, I don’t know how many are interested in albino mice but if that was my interest, I’d have to find out. If you can’t sell stuff, then your website is a hobby site, not a business.

Idea Three

Create your own product on a subject about which you have some knowledge and you know beforehand (this is vital) there are enough people who will buy from you. You could end up with a range of related products, sold on separate sites, some sold in packages, or all in a membership site. However, even with one product at the start, you can diversify once you get going. Let’s say it’s an ebook or report.You could put this on audio, do a video, or sell the whole lot as a physical product. This is the most powerful of the online business ideas because it’s your product you can do anything with.

I know there will people read this post and say to themselves or someone else or both – well, I know that!

They’ve read this information before, so what’s so great about it? What’s the point of repeating it?

I admit there are no how-to details here. That’s not the point of the article.

The point is here are 3 methods you can use to at least get a web presence of some sort, or make some money.

And the bigger point is that knowledge, and even understanding, don’t mean a thing in internet marketing. You might know all the methods under the sun to make money, seen all the videos, read all ebooks, been to $5K seminars…

So what?

There are only three questions you should ask yourself:

What’s your web presence?

How much money have you made?

Have you helped/supported/encouraged your customers, subscribers, visitors?

If you can’t even set up a Squidoo lense for nothing and choose an affiliate product to sell for nothing, and yet continue to criticise at this basic level, what hope is there for you?

If you have got started in some shape or form – fantastic! I hope to meet you one day in your great or limited success!
