How To
Make Money Online Without A
Website

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: Drive 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. |
