How To Make Money Online Without A Website
You don't need to have a website to make money on the Internet.
Here is a proven strategy to make money online without a website:
Step 1: Affiliate Product
Find a product to promote where you make good commission on each
sale. Generally, you will get the biggest commissions on digital
products. Digital products are defined as something that is
downloaded directly to a customer's computer after purchasing,
like electronic books or software.
Since there is no extra cost per unit, no inventory and no
shipping, the commissions are much greater than on regular
"physical" goods. The most common commission on digital products
is 50%. The best place to find such products is Clickbank.com.
Sign up as a reseller (also called affiliate) for a product that
looks the most appealing to you. After you sign up, you will get
a unique affiliate link where you need to send people to
purchase the product.
Your affiliate link will have a special code that will tell the
product owner that it's you who referred the customer. The
affiliate link code will allow your commissions to be tracked
correctly and assigned to you.
Step 2: Domain Name
Get a domain name to redirect to your affiliate link. A domain
name is a .COM name (like yourproduct.com). You can get it for
under $9 at GoDaddy.com. GoDaddy.com will allow you to redirect
your domain name to your affiliate link at no extra cost.
So when someone types in your .COM domain in their browser, it
will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will see the website
with the product you promote, and the commissions will be
tracked correctly.
The reason why you need a domain name is that it's memorable and
it makes you look more trustworthy. Affiliate links tend to be
too long and arouse suspicion. For example, most people would
rather click on the link bestwidgets.com as opposed to
abcwidgets.com?reseller=john
A domain name will make your affiliate link look like it's your
own website. So basically, you will have a product to promote
and a website to send people to and get commissions - without
really having your own website.
Step 3: Drive Traffic
In order to make sales, you need to get visitors to your domain
name (which will forward them to the website of the product that
you resell). You can pay for advertising and hope that your
profit will be greater than advertising cost, or you can use
free ways to generate traffic.
The most effective way to get free targeted visitors to your
domain name is by writing and submitting articles. You can write
short articles on the topic related to the product that you
promote. At the end of the article, you include your author bio
and your domain name link.
You will then submit your articles to various websites, and
allow them to publish your articles as long as your link is
included. Your articles will get published in many places on the
Internet, and will be advertising your affiliate link at no cost
to you whatsoever. People will read your articles, like what you
have to say and click on your domain name link ready to buy.
Once you start getting regular sales from your articles, you can
go back to step 1 and find another product to promote using this
strategy. After a while, you will build up a nice source of
Internet income - without even having a website.
