How You Can Start Making Money Online in Only Minutes…
Without Even Designing Your Own Web Site!

Back in the early days of Internet marketing, there wasn’t much you could do to get started with marketing your business online until you actually launched your own web site.

Before you could make money, you had to:

  • Choose a domain
  • Set up your hosting
  • Design your web site
  • Put it all online
  • Optimize and test your web site

But maybe you want the chance to "get your feet wet" before you commit to building a web site and getting really serious about marketing your business online.

Or maybe you’re trying to discover your online business niche: the problem you want to solve, the people you want to sell to, and the best possible way to create a viable business. Maybe you don’t want to commit to a web site until you’ve had a better chance to experiment with different ideas.

Well, fortunately for Web newbies, there are more options for getting started with e-commerce than ever before! Now you can actually market and sell products without ever creating your own web site.

Today we’re going to take a look at some of the easiest ways to get started online today:

  • Start selling on the world’s biggest e-commerce site: www.eBay.com

  • Start a blog in under five minutes and reach a whole new market on the Internet!

… as well as the quickest way — once you’re ready — to start up a fully functioning web site of your very own.

So can you take advantage of these tools to make your first online profits today? Keep reading to find out!

Start selling on eBay and get access to millions of potential buyers!

eBay.com is the hottest e-commerce site on the Web today, and for good reason:

  • More than two million people visit eBay.com every single day, spending an average of TWO HOURS navigating through eBay’s pages and listings

  • More than $1,000 in sales happen on eBay every single second!

  • 72% of eBay users have incomes in excess of $50,000 per year — so they come ready to spend!

And — most important to you — 95% of eBay users are individuals or small businesses. eBay is clearly a place where newbies can go to find instant profit and success.

Getting started on eBay will take you LESS than one hour in total.

Within minutes, you’ll be ready to set up your new auction listings. That means you can see your first online profits TODAY!

But what items are you going to sell?

This is the real beauty of eBay: there is a market for practically everything on the giant online auction site!

The easiest way to get started is to sell off some old items you no longer need from your basement or storage space. This will allow you to get the hang of writing up a description and creating a listing without having to invest in a product to sell. After all, everything you make from these sales is pure profit — so you have nothing to lose!

If you have a product you are already interested in selling on eBay, check out how other sellers are marketing these products. How much are they going for? What makes their auctions appealing? How many bidders do they attract?

If you’re not sure what you want to sell, try checking out what products are popular at http://pulse.ebay.com.

While you might not want to sell the items that everyone is searching for — guaranteeing you some serious competition — you can sell items RELATED to those products and generate a ton of interest in your listings.

eBay offers free tools for setting up and promoting your listings. Your only expenses on eBay are are your listing fees, plus a small percentage of your selling price.

Getting started on eBay is easy — anyone can do it in less than an hour. But to build a hugely profitable eBay business takes some advanced strategies and techniques.

Create your own web site in less than five minutes — and for free! — by starting a blog

Blogs (or weblogs) are frequently updated web sites that show the newest content at the top of the page. The other content usually follows in the order it was posted.

Business blogs have become one of the hottest tools for marketing on the Web today. And while some companies use them to promote their products in addition to their main web sites, you don’t need to have a web site — or even have a business yet — to start a blog.

Anyone can create a blog for free and have an active, functioning presence online in just minutes! Even complete Internet "newbies" find the set-up process simple and easy to understand. You don’t have to know anything about web design or pay a single cent for a domain name or web hosting.

And once you’ve got your blog online, you can start making money instantly! Here’s how…

  • Start a Google AdSense campaign to generate advertising revenue from your blog. It’s easy to set up an AdSense account, and have targeted ads displayed to your online readers. This can be a great source of revenue, though of course the amount of income you can expect from your AdSense ads will depend on the amount of traffic to your blog. The more traffic you receive, the more people are likely to click through the ads displayed on your site — and the more revenue for you!

  • Join an affiliate program — or a few affiliate programs! — and start promoting their products on your blog. You don’t even need your own product to get started! You can place ads for your affiliate products on your blog, or write articles or product reviews that contain your affiliate link. You receive a percentage of each sale made when readers click through your links and make a purchase.

  • Sell products directly from your blog: If you do have a product that you’re ready to sell, you can write articles on your blog telling readers about the benefits of your widget. Once they get excited about what you have to offer and decide to take action, you can direct them with a sidebar button to your PayPal account (which is free and easy to set up.)

    With PayPal, they can order your product and pay for it in seconds — even with their credit cards! And it only takes you a few moments to get set up to take payments.

You can create a blog in five minutes, absolutely free, with a free blog hosting service. These are considered the top options for blogging beginners:

Of course, if you’re getting serious about starting a business online, we always recommend that you create a web site of your own…

We’ll be launching an incredible web business creator this spring… so stay tuned.

 

Final thoughts

It’s never been easier to build an e-commerce presence online than it is now, with the rise in popularity of blogging, auction web sites like eBay, and quick web hosting solutions like Google Page Creator.

Each of these options offers you the opportunity to determine the viability of your business model, test your strategies and salescopy, establish a ranking in the search engines, and gain credibility and a reputation in your industry.

Best of all, you can get started making money online TODAY.

And once your business is underway and you’re ready to set up a web site of your own, you can also use all of quick start options we’ve talked about today to continue to market your products…

  • Use a blog to grab a great position in search engine rankings, and then drive traffic to your sales web site!

  • Use a Google Page to drive another stream of traffic to your site!

  • Use eBay to test new products, sell off old or damaged inventory, or create a new revenue stream for your business!

It’s never been easier to get started on the Web than it is today — so let us know why you haven’t started yet…

Good question, Michael …and there’s good news for you. Gone are the days when eBay was only for selling your old junk (ooops, I mean “treasure”, of course!). These days you can sell literally anything – both physical and digital products. New stuff, too.

I suggest that you dig deeper into everything eBay-related on this website and all other IMC sites …. there are loads of valuable tips and hints to get you started.

Good luck!
