You don't need to have a
website to make money on the
Internet. Here is a proven strategy to make money online
without a website:
Step 1: Find
Affiliate Product
Find a product to
promote where you make good commission on
each sale. Generally, you will get the biggest commissions
on digital products. Digital products are defined as
something that is downloaded directly to a customer's
computer after purchasing, like electronic books or
software.
Since there is no extra
cost per unit, no inventory and no
shipping, the commissions are much greater than on regular
"physical" goods. The most common commission on digital
products is 50%. The best place to find such products is
Clickbank.com.
Sign up as a reseller
(also called affiliate) for a product
that looks the most appealing to you. After you sign up,
you will get a unique affiliate link where you need to send
people to purchase the product.
Your affiliate link will
have a special code that will tell
the product owner that it's you who referred the customer.
The affiliate link code will allow your commissions to be
tracked correctly and assigned to you.
Step 2: Get
Domain Name
Get a domain name to
redirect to your affiliate link. A
domain name is a .COM name (like yourproduct.com). You can
get it for under $9 at GoDaddy.com. GoDaddy.com will allow
you to redirect your domain name to your affiliate link at
no extra cost.
So when someone types in
your .COM domain in their browser,
it will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will see
the website with the product you promote, and the
commissions will be tracked correctly.
The reason why you need
a domain name is that it's
memorable and it makes you look more trustworthy. Affiliate
links tend to be too long and arouse suspicion. For
example, most people would rather click on the link
bestwidgets.com as opposed to abcwidgets.com?reseller=john
A domain name will make
your affiliate link look like it's
your own website. So basically, you will have a product to
promote and a website to send people to and get commissions
- without really having your own website.
Step 3: Get
Traffic
In order to make sales,
you need to get visitors to your
domain name (which will forward them to the website of the
product that you resell). You can pay for advertising and
hope that your profit will be greater than advertising
cost, or you can use free ways to generate traffic.
The most effective way
to get free targeted visitors to
your domain name is by writing and submitting articles. You
can write short articles on the topic related to the
product that you promote. At the end of the article, you
include your author bio and your domain name link.
You will then submit
your articles to various websites, and
allow them to publish your articles as long as your link is
included. Your articles will get published in many places
on the Internet, and will be advertising your affiliate
link at no cost to you whatsoever. People will read your
articles, like what you have to say and click on your
domain name link ready to buy.
Once you start getting
regular sales from your articles,
you can go back to step 1 and find another product to
promote using this strategy. After a while, you will build
up a nice source of Internet income - without even having a
website.
