How to Start an Online Business For $75.00 or Less
Many people who have an interest in starting a business on the Internet have the idea that it will cost them a lot of money to get it going. This misconception probably stops many potential Internet marketers in their tracks. It also couldn't be farther from the truth.
An Internet company, unlike a brick and mortar business has very little overhead to speak of. Depending on what sort of business you might start, the costs can actually be almost nonexistent.
One of the quickest and least expensive ways to get started in your Internet marketing career is to join a good affiliate program or two. Another way you can get your feet wet in the cyber-sea is to purchase and sell products with resell rights. In this case, unlike with affiliate programs where you get a commission for what you sell, resell rights products allow you to keep 100% of the sale price of your goods.
You can purchase resell rights to quality ebooks and software products for as little as $20 to $30. A quick search for the terms "resell rights" on Google or any other major search engine will produce plenty of products for you to choose from.
There are a few very good membership sites that are tailored to resell rights products as well. One of the major advantages to joining a membership site is that you are not having to constantly pay sometimes steep prices to purchase your next product to resell. A site like http://www.ResaleRightsTreasureChest.com charges a very small monthly fee and you get to choose from literally hundreds of products at any given time.
You can of course do individual searches every time you need a new product to sell, but it's a good idea to sell more than one product at a time to create multiple streams of income for your new business. My choice is to let someone else purchase all the products and put them in one place for me. It will also save you a ton of money.
Once you've made your purchase you'll have control and be able to sell the products yourself and keep 100% of the profits. A major advantage over affiliate programs in my book. Selling digital products online has other advantages as well. Digital products don't need to be stored and they cost almost nothing to deliver.
Okay, let's take a look at what this has cost you so far:
1) join a resell rights membership site: $25.00
We still have $50.00 to go. Not bad.
Now you'll need to get a domain name so you can have a website of your own. A place to sell your products on the web. You can get a domain name for $8.95 per year at http://www.godaddy.com.
We're up to $33.95. Think we'll make it under the wire?
Next you'll need a web host. The cost of web hosting varies tremendously, but you can get a good host for as little as $9.95 per month. There, you have all the basic necessities that have a cost associated with them.
You will need a payment processor so you can take credit card orders, but that you can get at no cost by opening accounts at Paypal.com and StormPay.com.
Well, it has cost you $43.90 to set up your Internet Marketing business. Kind of hard to believe isn't it? Do you think you can afford it? Well then, get started. Owning your own Internet marketing business will allow you freedom to do what you want, when you want and to me, that is a blessing beyond words.
Oh? What should you do with the $31.10 you still have left of your original $75.00 investment? Go to a movie perhaps? Buy a pizza or two for dinner? Hey, you're running your own business now. You can't be so frivolous. Use it to buy advertising for your new business.
