Five Free Online Businesses To Make Money
| Following on from the last post, here are five websites where you can get your own free online money making business - either a store, shop or agency. Everything is completely free including the website and hosting. Amazon USA and Amazon UK. You can open up to 100 aStores with Amazon which you then stock with their products. You choose what you want to have in your aStore and can give it, within reason, whatever name you wish. This in effect means that you if you had a blog, say about music, you could have stores perhaps with the name of singers, groups, types of music. You could stock each one with products that match. To open an aStore you need to become an affiliate at Amazon, again no cost involved. Zlio. Similar in some ways to Amazon. They will set you up with a website, you give it a name and then stock it with whatever you want from their range of thousands of products. Again this allows you to find a niche and fill it with exactly the right products. DIY Dating. Not a shop, but this time a dating website. You name the site, choose the design and also decide on the sort of dating you want to promote from their massive database: marriage, romance, gay, adult etc. etc. In effect you can have your own dating site with millions of profiles for potential clients. SexToySex. (strictly over 18's only) This is one for those who want to get into the profitable adult market. I won't go into details about the sort of products they have but they are definitely for broadminded people only. The company set you up with a free website and stock it with thousands of products. You get excellent commission on any sales made. ei42 I wrote about this one in my post Money Making Test ei42 With Free Website. It's for the UK only at the present time but offers a free website that leads to 1500+ well known online outlets, shops and stores. Comment. Setting up your store, with any or all of these five, is reasonably straight forward. I found Zlio perhaps to be the most tricky and ei42 the easiest. Once the stores are set up now comes the more difficult bit. As with blogs you need traffic and lots of it. This is another case of it being a numbers game. The more people who visit your store, the more opportunity you have to make money. The opposite is also true: if no one visits - zilch! The advantage of already having a blog is that this can be used to promote your store. This will be a lot easier if the shop and the blog are of a similar niche. This is the case, for example, with my aStore Blogging Good Blogs as I've stocked it with books about blogging. Opening one of these online style stores could be profitable if the niche, and perhaps the time of the year, tie up. Toys at Christmas, Dating and Romance in the New Year and so on. They cost nothing try out but be realistic with your expectations. Good luck, Mike. Labels: Amazon, aStore, DIY Dating, ei42, money making, SexToySex, Zlio |
