1. Affiliate Marketing
You may already know that affiliate marketing is one of the oldest online moneymakers out there. Here’s how it works:
- As an internet entrepreneur, you'll need your own web presence: website, blog, social media platforms, landing pages, sales pages, banner ads, or e-commerce site. But instead of selling your own products, you sell the products of other companies. You can use several of these combinations, if you like, as long as you get your marketing message to the public.
- Then, pick a hot affiliate niche market; one with many potential customers. Look at social media to ID trends and see what’s hot on sites like Amazon and CJ Affiliate, for example.
- Provide important content and marketing messages aimed at your prospects.
- When customers on your digital platform click on a link to make a purchase, they are taken to your affiliate partner’s site to complete the transaction—and you get a commission for every completed sale. The best part is you don’t have to deal with shipping or customer service.
Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and easiest ways to start an online busniess because all you have to do is promote the products. You don't have to worry about creating products, setting up payment and delivery systems, or handle customer support
2. Blogging
Old-fashioned blogging is alive and thriving. If you provide valuable content on a regular basis, you attract like-minded people interested in your niche information and products. Your readers are compelled to keep reading to find out more and buy.
These people are primed to buy your products either via ads or affiliate links in your posts. Why? Because you’ve been providing useful free (targeted) content and people have come to know and trust you.
Also, you make your site / online storefront attractive in the eyes of Google by regularly adding useful information in the form of articles, videos, etc. This results in higher rankings in Google's search engine so, hopefully, you appear on page one because most people don’t go to page two on Google.
3. Niche E-commerce
As a startup internet entrepreneur, you're not competing with e-commerce titans or major retailers like Walmart. You also don't need a warehouse or a logistics system to sell your wares.
What you do need to succeed is to narrow-focus. In other words, find your niche, and stick to it. That way you become the go-to expert and appear high in the search engine rankings.
