One of the biggest misconceptions that newbies have about
internet marketing is the believe that they must have truckloads
of money to start an online business. I have targeted this
article for newcomers with a low budget who wish to start a home
business but are not quite sure where to begin: Here’s an idea…
So you want to start an internet home business? There are five
important steps that you must follow: (1) Find a product to sell
(2) Design your sales page (3) Setup credit card processing on
your website (4) Find a website host and upload your sales pages
(5) Promote your website products Now the question remains: How
can I follow the above steps with a $50 budget? FACT: I have
found that buying resell rights to quality digital products is
by far the easiest & cheapest way to start a successful online
business. 1) Find a product to sell. Average cost: $30 You can
buy resell rights to quality information & software Products for
as little as $30. A quick search for the terms “resell rights”
on any major search engine will produce plenty of product offers
for you to choose from. Once you have bought the product/resell
rights you will be able to sell the product yourself and keep
100% of the profits every time. A distinct advantage of selling
digital products online is that they costs nothing to deliver.
Translation: huge profit margins.
2) Design your sales page. Average cost: $0. That is right, $0.
Most, if not all, digital products for which resell rights are
available come with a professional ready to take order websites.
This means that as soon as you buy resell rights to a product –
not only will you have a product of your own — but you will
also have a professionally designed sales page to help you start
selling your product immediately.
3) Setup credit card processing on your website. Average cost:
$0 There are various ways to this; however, since we are trying
to keep our expenses to a minimum we are going to use paypal.
Visit www.paypal.com and open an account. Their website is very
well designed and it does an awesome job of guiding you through
the registration process. NOTE: paypal will setup your merchant
account at no cost but will deduct 1.9% + $0.30 transaction fee.
4) Find a website host and upload your sales pages. Average
starting cost: $13. Well, you can do this for free but I
wouldn’t recommend it. I suggest that you choose www.godaddy.com
because they are highly reliable. Note that I am not affiliated
with godaddy in any way; I advocate them because I am a customer
myself and I have experienced nothing but 100% top service. You
can register a “.COM” domain for as little as $8.95 per year and
get hosting for only $3.95 per month. If you choose to get free
hosting, go with freewebs.com. They provide free bannerless web
hosting, which is extremely rare to find. 5) Promote your
website products. Now that you have completed steps 1 trough 4
you need to drive traffic to you website. I suggest that you
start by advertising on free classified sites, joining free
traffic and banner exchange programs, join list builders, use
free email safelists as well as other similar programs. Note:
Although it is not free — I suggest that you start a Pay Per
Click Campaign at any of the top search engines in order to
drive highly targeted visitors to your site/s. Overture, Google
Adwords and Findwhat.com are my top picks for this type of
marketing. Final Thought. There you have it: a fully functional
online business in 5 easy steps and for under $50. Always keep
in mind that knowledge is money… the more knowledge you have
the more profits you will rake in. Always keep learning about
internet marketing, stay focused and never quit.
