Doing Online Business, On a Budget
Many of us decided to work online because we were not making enough money at our existing job or because we lost that job. Working online was meant to be a bridge while we sought another job.
For some of us it became a full time gig. We earn our entire income from what every business that we are into. Some of us started out on Ebay or Amazon. We learned the basics of selling online and we took it to the next level. That would be websites and or web pages of our own.
I have found that the biggest obstacle to starting an online business is financial. Many people are scared off by the cost involved. This advice is for the begins out there. You do not need money to start out. Money helps, it always helps, but you do not need it in the beginning. The truth about money is that until you learn the basics of what works and what does not work you will waste money hand over fist.
If you are on a zero budget I would suggest starting at a site like Squidoo or Blogger (Blogspot). At Squidoo I learned how to write articles. How to add media to them. I learned how to add links to Amazon and Ebay so that I could earn money from items mentioned in the articles that I wrote. It was a very important learning experience. I still try to do a article or as they call them a lens a month just to touch base.
From there I moved over here to Blogger. I have many blogs and there are many ways to monetize them. Many free ways to do this. One way is with Adsense. This is where Google puts up ads on your blog and if someone clicks on them you get anywhere between a penny to a few dollars depending on the ad. The second way is with Affiliate links. You put up your own affiliate ads. If people click on those ads and purchases something you get a commission. There are many sites that provide these services. There is Linkshare and Commision Junction and Share a Sale. They are all great to work with.
Next there is Clickbank. Many consider this the best money maker of all because it is free to sign up for. You are marketing digital products be they course or ebooks and you get to keep a huge share of each sale.
There are people out there who earn six figure incomes from clickbank.
“I don’t see any Clickbank items on your Blog.”
Yeah, I know. I just have not found the right ebook or course yet. If I am going to market something then I have to review it myself and believe in it. When I push a book I will have read it and believe that it is worth the money.
The other side of the Clickbank coin is that if you have fifty dollars to invest you can become a publisher and others will be the ones who market your book. You get to kick back and wait for the royalties to roll in. I would suggest that it is not the easy. If you wish to make real money as a publisher you will have to help market the product.
If fifty dollars is too much then you could always get a free ebook program or sign up with some of the pay as you go Ebook publishers.
There are sites that over thousands of digital products. Some have free trial if you can not afford the first months premium.
The bottom line is that there are many ways to get started if you have little or no money to work with. Being an online business person does not come with a price tag. There is not shame to starting with nothing. Some of the wealthiest people on earth started that way.
Anyone can spend a great deal of money. It is the ones who work hard and refuse to give up who succeed in the end.
I am going to do something for those of you who wish to start on a zero budget. Get yourself a Blogger blog and then sign up with Linkshare. You sign up for free. It is free for life. You picture your advertisers and get the ads for free. You put them up at your sites and get paid a commission when someone buys something from one of those ads. There are some advertiser who will pay you customers just sign up for a free trial.
