Even Designing Your Own Web Site!

make money, you had to:

domain

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

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!
And while those listings will cost you only pennies to place on
eBay's pages, you gain immediate access to millions of buyers who
are looking for items just like yours.
To get started
selling on eBay today, go to: http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SellHub2.
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:

Use
Google Page Creator to get free exposure on the 'Net -- AND travel
up the search engine rankings!
Google Page
Creator is a brand-new program that enables anyone with a Google
ID to set up their very own web site in just minutes!
When Google Page Creator Beta was launched just over a month ago,
the sign-up page was overrun with visitors looking to get their
very own Google Page Creator account. So much so, in fact, that
they had to stop taking submissions that same day!
Why was everyone so eager to get involved with Google Pages? Well,
the most obvious benefit of the program is that your pages are rapidly
indexed by the Google search engine spiders.
Some new web site owners spend a ton of time and effort trying
to show up in search engine results for their keywords, but with
a Google Page, you jumpstart that process.
Within minutes, you have a fully functioning web site that you
can use to make money online right away.
You can generate profits with Google Page Creator in much the same
way as with a blog...
-
You can promote your own product on your Google Page with a
salesletter or ad, and then direct your visitors to your PayPal
checkout system to purchase your product right away.
-
You can also promote other people's products on your Google
Page through content, links, or ads, and make quick cash from
affiliate commissions.
-
And naturally, Google Pages are the perfect place to set up
a Google AdSense campaign...
When your account is approved, Google offers a simple page setup
process with an easy-to-use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)
HTML editor. You can add your own text by typing it straight into
the editor, or by cutting and pasting from any kind of text file.
You can also upload pictures, create links, and even edit the raw
HTML code if you wish.
In fact, it's never been easier to set up your own web site!
In order to get started with Google Page Creator, you'll need a
Google ID, which you can sign up for at:
https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
Once you've got an account, you can head to the Page Creator homepage
(http://pages.google.com)
to add your name to the waiting list -- at this point, they are
not taking real-time submissions.
Of course, if you're getting serious about starting a business
online, we always recommend that you create a web site of your own...
And nowadays, with domains and hosting cheaper than they've ever
been before, and with tons of inexpensive -- and FREE -- tools available
to help you get set up, there's no reason to put off creating your
very own presence on the Web...
Set
up a professional-looking web site in minutes with easy-to-use web
site templates
These days,
you don't need to know a thing about HTML or web design to get a
great looking site up and running in no time at all. The secret
is to start building your pages with a template web site creator.
Prices vary
from company to company, but you can usually get a template site
up and running for as low as $2.99 a month, depending on the features
and functions you want to build into your web site.
Most basic packages
include a domain name, web hosting, an easy-to-use site template,
photo uploading capability, and a limited number of domain-specific
e-mail accounts.
You can be completely
up and running with your new web site in the space of just a day
or two, depending on the length of the company's approval or acceptance
process.
While template
sites can't be customized as completely as regular web sites, the
margin for error and mistakes is much, much smaller than with an
independent, do-it-yourself web design process. You can get all
your newbie errors out of the way at a minimum of expense!
Most companies
will charge a little more per month to integrate a shopping cart
or e-commerce functionality into your template site, but you can
also opt to add a payment system of your own choosing to your pages.
(Remember: PayPal
is always free to sign up, and the easiest system for entrepreneurs
who are just getting started online.)
If a template web site creator is what you're looking for, check
out the solution we recommend at www.MarketingTips.com/allinone.
They offer a full range of resources like...
- attractive templates
- useful extras like photo gallery software and search engine
tools
- domain research and sales
- strong customer service
- web hosting
... and all for reasonable prices that won't break the bank for
a first-time business owner.
Template sites are a great starting point if you want to get your
site up and running right away and start experimenting with e-commerce
opportunities. However, as your business grows, you will likely
need to develop a site of your own that allows you more control
over the look and functionality of your online presence.
Final

options offers you the opportunity to determine the viability of

we've talked about today to continue to market your products...
