Choosing Products for an E-Commerce Site
One of the popular home businesses today is that of maintaining an E-Commerce site. Depending on the products that you sell or promote, you can have quite a lucrative business in this area without having to do anything more than promote your site. You don't need inventory, and you don't have to ship any of the products—that is done for you. It's so easy that someone who has never run a business before will quickly learn how to operate one of these sites.
In the majority of cases, you contract with a company that already has an E-Commerce site, and they provide you with a "mirror" site of theirs with your own codes and URL. You are responsible for promoting the site, but you will not be handling the shipping or maintaining of inventory. For someone who has a busy lifestyle and has things they like to do without being tied down to a desk, this is a perfect business. You don't have to sit at your computer waiting for someone to buy something because it will be automated for you, including the installation of credit card links. The only thing you will have to do is promote your site so that you will have a steady flow of visitors in order to ensured constant traffic and sales. You will receive a commission from those who purchase products from your site. Of course, this is not the only type of E-Commerce site.
You may also choose to use your personal or business website to post links and banners from companies with whom you have agreed to be an affiliate such as Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and thousands more. In exchange for posting their banners on your site, they will pay you for click throughs that create a sale. Of course, these are not as profitable as an E-Commerce site as described above unless you generate a great deal of traffic as some of the companies only pay perhaps ten cents a sale. On the other hand, some others such as ClickBank pay much higher. Of course, if you have the time to promote your site, you may generate enough traffic to make it worthwhile.
Promotion is the key issue with an E-Commerce site whether it's a mirror site or affiliate programs. The amount of money you make is directly related to how much time you spend promoting your site and how visible your site is. With good promotion, your site will be highly visible and allow you enough visitors to afford you a reasonable income. How much you make depends on the scope of your site and your target audience, so it's not something you can guess ahead of time—you have to do the work first and reap the benefits later.
