Hi,
The past weeks I had been busy setting up my another money making machine, a web site that selling all the beautiful gifts from Precious Moments and German Smoking Men (don't get me wrong I am not promoting smoking habit, go to my site now at
Gift is Love to find out more). The thing is that I am rushing to launch this online gift store to be in time for the big annual shopping season for the coming festive holidays (the Thanksgiving Day and Christmas).
I could not stop smiling by imaging the online shoppers rushing to
Gift is Love and grab whatever gifts they could find in my online store. I can hear my cash register "Cha-Ching! Cha-Ching!" non-stop.
The beauty is that this online store cost me $0, Yes, zero cost! do you believe it? My cost is only my time and the desire to generate another stream of
Passive Income. I am a step closer to be financially free!
Let's do the math together. If you have a money making web site that providing you with $5 of daily
Passive Income, 10 sites will be $50 per day. How about 50 sites, how much will you be earning per day, per month? You see the big picture? Let me calculate for you... that will be $250 per day and $7,500 per month of
Passive Income!. Wow ! not bad. You could quit your day time job now and get out of the rat race. You have actually nothing to lose given that the business risk is zero and the cost of running an Internet business is relatively low. Compare with the traditional brick-and-mortar business, Internet business is simply wonderful.
Are you excited now? If the reality of earning good money from Internet do not excite you, please turn off your computer and go to sleep now. But, if you come with an open mind and willing to learn then I could show you some basic Internet money making tips to get started.
Ready? Let's go.
The pre-requisite of setting up an online store :
(1) An Internet connection, a computer and yes, an email account
(2) A web site and a domain name (I will show you where to get them free)
(3) Knowledge of how to use a computer mouse ( as you need to do a lots of cut & paste activities)
(4) No age limit as long as you know how to read and write
(5) Creativity (optional, a plus if you have)
(6) One or two bank accounts to start receiving fund from your on-line businesses.
Sound easy? Now the real things :
What to sell on-line? For a start I would suggest you begin with promoting other people products and earn commission for every confirmed sale made through you. It's easy and you
could see fast results that will motivate you to do more. I know you may be wondering where on earth could you find ideas or products to setup 50 money making online stores. Not to worry, the truth is in the world of Internet there are more products for you to promote and sell than you could possible handle. Amazon.com says they sell "millions" of different products, why not start from there. Sign up the
Amazon online affiliate program now, it's free and easy to join (the commission rate is between 4%-8.5%). Another free affiliate network you could go to is
Click Bank which offers higher commission rate of up to 75%. Your job is to find the products you understand and love, these are easier to sell. If you have a passion for photography, there's a natural business for you to sell photography products.
Where could I setup the online store? You would need an "office" address for the potential customers to find your store, for the Internet is called domain name (or URL). You
also need a Web Host (that's in layman term a building that housed the store).
The good thing is that you could register a domain name and get a web host free from the Internet.
Go to
Bravenet to get a free easy to use website and the web hosting free! Alternatively, if you would like to promote your products via blogging then Google's
blogger is a good place to start.
Get yourself familiarize with the web tools and you are all set. Once you are more confident on Internet Marketing you may upgrade to a paid web host which will provide you with better tools and supports for your business to grow.I recommend,
Get ready your online store and start your business. Once you have signed up the affiliate programme and selected the products you interested to sell ( you would need to cut and paste the affiliate link code to your web), one last step is to write a compelling sales copy on your web. Just sticking pictures of products with brief descriptions is not enough to persuade people to open their wallets. You need to tell a good story that why you think your products are the best and people need to get one.
That's all you need to start a basis Internet business through Affiliate Program. You will need time to explore and try new things, so you have to be patient to get results. My own experience is that I found Internet Marketing both fun and rewarding. It allows me to exercise my creativity mind, learn the skill of doing business and at the same time providing me with another stream of Passive Income.
