$50 You've heard it a million times; "It takes money to make
money!" Although this is very true -- I have targeted this
article for every one who is looking to start a profitable
online business with small startup costs. You can do this by
following 5 simple steps -- the same steps that I followed to
start my first eBusiness. 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 bu*y 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 profit*s 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 bu*y 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 cos*t 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 fre*e 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 FRE*E
hostin*g, go with freewebs.com. They provide FRE*E 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 FRE*E classified sites, joining FRE*E
traffic and banner exchange programs, join list builders, use
FRE*E email safelists as well as other similar programs. Note:
Although it is not FRE*E -- 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 profit*s you will rake in. Always keep learning about
internet marketing, stay focused and never quit.
