What does it take to make money online?

Darrell Knox

What a loaded question! Let’s narrow that down a bit and take
it from the perspective of someone who wants to work from home
and make money online in a home business. That will make it
an easier question to answer.

Let’s assume you’ve never had a website, don’t know how to get
a merchant account, don’t know html, and are pretty much stuck
with being an expert on sending and receiving email.

What’s there for you to do online to make money? Lots, in
fact! These days are not at all like a couple of years ago or
even six months ago. If I only had all the opportunities to
make money online when I started marketing!

Here is a list of things you can do with just a website and a
hosting account today:

Sell affiliate products (products like reports, ebooks, hard
goods of every conceivable make, model, size, shape and
function, and much, much more).
Sell services (do you know how big a business being a Virtual
Assistant is these days? It’s quite amazing what you can do
for people without ever meeting them face-to-face, anywhere in
the world!)
Online auctions (Ebay has made thousands and thousands of
people full-time incomes from auctioning collectibles,
antiques, and even brand new equipment and gadgets of all
imaginable types. You name it, it has been sold on Ebay!)
Membership sites: Know of any groups of people that would love
to get insider information on virtually any topic? You could
make money online with a membership site!

The list is a long one and one I am not prepared to detail
here. You have found your way onto the net and if you have
been surfing for very long at all you know it is a gigantic
super shopping mall. Who to you think is making the most
money online? Aside from big corporations, most of the web is
made up of sites put up by little businesses people work from
home.

I sell information and I love it. Most of the products I sell
are other merchants’ products. I just drive traffic to my
site, provide information, and point to relevant products
related to the information I provide people looking for a way
to make money online. I love helping people make their first
few sales.

After that, they are always hooked and cannot do enough to
learn everything there is to know about how to make money
online. Many people I have worked with now have a couple to
several websites selling everything from reports to hard
goods that can be shipped direct to their customers.
Most people start out to make money online as affiliates of
certain products or authors. This is a great way to get your
feet wet and learn what making money online is all about.
People then either work to create their own products (which
they get 100% of the profits from) or expand their website
into other related niches.
