There are many ways to make money on today’s very online market place, but not all of those are bulletproof investments and not all can be done without formal training.
This blog is to outline some best ways to GET STARTED making money online.
A very popular way to make online is by retail arbitrage via Ebay.
Retail Arbitrage simply means buying goods for a lower price and reselling them on ebay for a higher price.
It sounds easy, and technically…that’s because it is.
Ebay is easier to get started on than Amazon because it has fewer rules and is cheaper to get your products seen. People have to see it to buy it, right? With good photos, a good title, and a clear description, you can get some good views on Ebay from people who search for the type of item you have listed for sale.
You just need to be someone who enjoys to treasure hunt. You can find goods on sale at local stores, items for cheap at Goodwill, garage sells, etc. and flip them for profit using ebay! Setting your items up for auction can be very exciting! Especially when you find a treasure that people get in a bid war over. This can mean big wins for you!
Retail Arbitration is an industry that some people make a full time living at.
The first business I ran was a “Sell it on Ebay store” that my dad opened and left me to oversee. We sold other people’s goods online for a profit. I got good at that game young.
You definitely don’t have to have a brick a mortar to take advantage of the hustle…..
You just need a computer.
Another successful way to make money online with NO cash invested is by affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is simply selling other people’s products or services for a commission. Successful affiliate marketers need an audience that knows them and trust their opinion, however, you might not have to be “as famous” as you think to have success with this! In fact, there are places all over the internet you can put your affiliate links where interested customers could find it and use your link to make a purchase. If you have an audience on social media that you show up consistently to, that is obviously a great way to share your links for products using Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter. If you don’t, you likely DO have people you communicate with digitally. You can share your custom links in email, text, on craigslist, and on any online forum where your ideal customer for your product hangs out.
The first step to affiliate marketing is finding a product you can really relate to. That way you can talk about it, believe in it, and be successful when sharing it effectively. I am big on being selective when deciding who I will be an affiliate for, because in affiliate marketing, reputation and ethics are so important. If you lead your audience to poor decisions, they will lose trust for you and you will lose credibility. For that reason, I am only affiliates for products or services I have used or genuinely believe in.
You can be a private affiliate for brands or join an affiliate network. Amazon has an affiliate network where affiliates can create a custom link for anything on Amazon and make a commission when that leads to a sell. The problem with Amazon is that it doesn’t pay very well.
Another affiliate network to look into is Clink Bank. You can register as an affiliate there and have access to hundreds of products to sell with one sign up. You can search different categories and share the products you resonate best with.
Once you have a product picked out its time to get posting your link so you can start to earn commissions!
