What is an E-Commerce Website?

Amazon is a prime example of an e-commerce website.

You browse products in the Amazon store, order the ones you want, pay by credit card and they get delivered. You have confidence in the process.

But Amazon makes no product and they sell through an army of affiliates. Some products they stock (FBA - Fulfilled by Amazon) and the rest is drop shipped by their suppliers. With drop shipping, you don't have to store any inventory. You advertise product, your customer orders and pays for it and you order it from the supplier, who ships it to your customer.

It all works smoothly for Amazon because they have software and systems in place to handle it all. Well, guess what? You can do the same. You can create an e-commerce website. This is how.

E-Commerce or Affiliate Marketing?

Online Business is Two Words

Here's the thing about online business.

It's two words.

Online

and Business.

Most information about creating an online business focuses on the Online part.

The worst of them totally ignore the concept of building a business.

They try to tempt you with impossible dreams.

No website, no mailing list, no nasty SEO, just buy this $27 product, click an the magic button and watch the money roll in.

It's all bullshit. To succeed with internet marketing, you have to build a business.

The Simple Business Cycle

Your Own Online Business: Getting Started

Internet Marketing Home Business

Anyone, from student to retired baby boomer, can start a profitable internet marketing home business.

"All" you need is the knowledge of how to go about it and a blueprint of how to get there.

While it's not trivial, it's not rocket science either.

Though it can seem like it when you're starting from scratch.

That's why it seems so much easier to buy into one of those products that assure you that you don't need a website and you don't need a domain name, hosting, product or an audience. You just need the product they are flogging and "everything is done for you".

The problem is that they DO have a website, a domain name, hosting, a product and an audience (you).

That's what you need too.

Every Internet Business Starts with an Idea

Your idea is the subject matter or theme that your business is going to be all about. It is a decision that you should give careful consideration to. It’s the first important decision that you have to make in the long process of developing an online business.

Your entire website or blog should be based on something that is both appealing to yourself and to the visitors that you want to attract to your site and make sales to.

Unlike the bricks and mortar world, it costs very little to start an online business so the chances are that you will eventually own several.

This of course has the advantage that each one only needs to earn a small amount for it to all add up to a decent income. And if just one of them takes off, you can do very well indeed.
But it also means don't hesitate too much.

Avoid "paralyses by analysis" and jump right in, even if it's just for the learning experience.

Your New Website for Free! 

Here's the truth about creating a new website:

1. It's easier than it used to be. And that's because of WordPress.

2. That doesn't mean it's easy. The majority of people who start by themselves either give it up or produce something seriously awful looking.

3. With more and more attractive, attention-grabbing websites costing thousands of dollars each appearing on the internet every day, it's getting harder and harder to get noticed.

Which makes my offer to create a new website free for you at no cost for my time or expertise a truly amazing opportunity.
