Making A
Second Income Online with A Website
With a lagging economy and
unemployment as high as ever people are looking for every
possible option to make money. The web is the only medium that
opens a $20 investment to a world economy.
As long as you can get
your product on the pages of your website and get your website in
front of buyers, you can sell the product.
The Internet is the
most powerful tool available to any business.
You can offer a
product to anyone in the world.
There is no question
that if you have a business, it must be online.
The stronger the
online presence you build, the stronger your product will
sell.
If you can sell any
product or service, you should be able to sell more of it
online.
If you are ignoring
the net as an advertising medium, you are an absolute idiot.
Forget all the stats and
numbers all the big companies are throwing at you. Ask yourself,
how much time do you spend online each day? Imagine if all the
people across the country do the same.
How many potential hours of
sales time does that present to you? Unimaginable!
There are billions
of dollars trading hands over websites costing under $20 a month.
That means the potential of
the small website owner is as high as ever. While other avenues
of income seem to be closing off, the online market continues to
grow daily
Now only are the small
companies breaking new ground. While the large companies are
acquiring the small sites as revenue generators. This blossoming
market is giving newbie site owners new hope.
Entrepreneurs know that a
simple blog can pay the rent or that a fast moving retail website
can grow into a multi million dollar enterprise overnight.
The strong possibilities
online seem to grow and grow with record sales for products and
websites seeing all time highs.
Recently a judge ordered a 16
year old boy to return $30,000.00 in sales because he employed
unfair business practices in his sales. That is not so much of a
story as the fact that a 16 year old made $30,000+ from his
website in less than a year.
That is pure proof of the
power of the Internet. Anyone can become a millionaire at anytime
using a basic website.
Of course it takes hard work
and a bit of luck. But the power of a website has never been been
higher. If you need a second income,look no further. The market
is right in front of you.
What do you do?
There are very few people that
don't want a second income. Even rich people look for ways to
become even richer. So there is no crime in wanting more money
than you have now.
But what do you do to make it?
Should you sell something?
Make something, or just write about other things happening?
Look, there is money made
every day in manufacturing, retail, new media and entertainment
as well as countless other industries.
The first thing you need to
ask, is "What do you like to do?"
If you are starting an online
business, it should be something you will enjoy. There is no
point in looking for the next big thing unless you like doing it.
If you like animals, find a
niche that uses your skills to help pet owners or sell them
products. If you like classic cars like me, run a classified site
for classic cars like I did at
Buzztrader.com.
What every you like, that
should be what you do.
There would be no fun for me
to make a website that allows users to trade beanie babies
because I have no real interest in it.
But having a forum talking
about classic cars, I will be there all day long.
In fact I wish I had more time
to run my automotive websites but I stay busy with website
hosting which I also enjoy.
When it comes to business the
people that love what they are doing end up making more money
because they end up spending more time doing it, do it better and
do it with passion.
The only question is what do
you like to do?
For everyone that is different
and there is why there are so many different websites and
business models making so much money.
If you don't follow that
advice and you keep searching for the right thing to do, you will
never find it and you will never make money.
In fact, it really
does not matter what you do. Taking the idea online can get you
millions of customers and make you millions of dollars.
There is really no downside to
running a business online except that it is hard work just like
any other business. But you can do it from home and reach million
of people across the world so the potential is far greater online
than offline using the same number of resources.
Like I said, that might not be
easy, so make sure you like what you are doing because making
while millions is possible, you will also find it quite
challenging.
Just Like Any Other
Business
Just like any other business
you have to consider legal matters, finances and logistics.
If you sell a product, you
still have to ship it or have a fulfillment company take care of
that for you. If you just advertise on a blog, not much logistics
consideration there.
If you run a blog, make sure
you follow the law.
There are laws governing
affiliate marketing, what you can and cannot do and what you can
say overall. While we have many laws about free speech there are
also many laws when you make comments that damage other people or
brands. So be careful what you say and how you say it.
Don't assume just because it
is a website there are no rules. The same rules apply to online
business as to having any other type of business.
The thing about running a
website is you can get one in minutes from companies like
pageBuzz.com but that does not insure that you are running a
legal business.
If you decide to sell Tobacco,
it is highly regulated and taxed and you might not be able to
ship it to many states. The same is true for adult products.
A woman in Texas went to jail
for shipping an adult goodies gift basket to a county where some
of the goodies were prohibited.
If you sell medical marijuana
in California, shipping anywhere outside California will result
in Jail time. So make sure you understand your market and the law
governing what you do.
I don't want to scare anyone
from getting a website but merely to point out, the more you know
the better off you are. Just keep it legal.
Enough For Everyone
There is more than enough
business out there for everyone and if you want a second income a
website is a great way to get there.
Of course we are happy to help
if our product fits your business model.
Whatever you do, take your
time enjoy it and be ready for a long productive business.
