Cheap Online Businesses to Start Today
We all want the same thing, good career, good family, good health, good life in general. Though most of us are stuck in a boring, non interesting day, there are those of us out there who have found a way to get all that we want. By starting our own business. It sounds good, it sounds like something most of us have dreamed about for ages, and now, with the Internet having a dominating presence in most our lives we can finally do so as well, and I will show you how.
Before we get into actual online businesses we need to discuss one very important thing. Dedication. If you have the will to succeed, the drive to keep going and the motivation to continue your journey when and if you fail, then you can make your mark on the internet. There are some very basic steps to go over before we start our online business. First and foremost, decide what you want to do. Since there are many different avenues to take let me give you a few examples. If you can't sit for more than a few minutes at the computer, or can't seem to think of anything to say, then writing is probably not for you, though you may find that affiliate marketing is just what you need.
One of the fastest and easiest online businesses to start is Affiliate Marketing. Getting to the meat of the topic, Affiliate Marketing is when you actually sell someone else's product on your site. Lets say you have a great deal of knowledge in the stock market field, you can create a very simple site that gives reviews on certain brokers, trading platforms and tips and tricks for trading. You can contact a broker direct or get involved in an affiliate marketing network, I use ClickBank.com. They have a wealth of products you can choose from. So, if you want to be able to virtually set and forget for a semi passive income, then affiliate marketing might be for you.
Writing is one of the oldest jobs around, and happens to be one of the oldest online businesses as well. Some people aren't very good with writing on subjects. Some of theses web site owners will outsource the actual writing. You can make a pretty descent online income writing article for a blogger, sales copy for businesses or even newsletters for sites. The standard rate seems to be anywhere from.10 -.20 a word and average length of article is between 300-500 words. So for those of you looking at me thinking "how is that money", that actually comes out to be between $3.00 and up to $10.00 for an article. I can put out about 3-5 an hour if I'm bored and have nothing on my sites going. So $9 - $50 an hour to write doesn't seem so bad.
Web Design is another fast growing online business. Though "some" technical knowledge is needed, sometimes you can make money just buy putting together small one page sites. Look around to local businesses on your area and see if they need something simple. When I started out I charged $300 for a simple site that took about a day if I had to learn something, later I whittled that down to a few hours. Once you get the hang of it and get better you can charge more. The money is there, the business is there, but this one requires you to actually go out and get the business. Do a few and then the business will come to you. To this day I still do this on the side.
Internet Marketing is another great online business that will likely never die. In the online business above we talked about making the actual site, but that's it. After a while you will be able to know why a certain site is placed higher on Google's search engine and how to get it there. There is tons of information out there to help. When you learn a bit more about the hows and whys then you can better understand the actual business of Internet Marketing.
These are only a few examples of Online Businesses that are out there waiting to be done. There is competition for every business out there, the key is to get in and have the drive and will to succeed. If you believe you can do it, you can get it done. Don't go into any of these businesses, or any business for that matter expecting to get rich over night, the fact is it just doesn't happen. Take your time, find something that works and stick to it.
