Fed up with all the crap online today about how to make money right now? Do you want simple, yet proven, business ideas that will not take a lot of money or time to set up and STILL make you a decent income? Well, today you are in luck! I am reviewing 5 of the best businesses online that you start, with very little money and a little time. (More time if you are new to online businesses.)
Note: These ideas are just to get you realizing how many great business opportunities really are available to you. For free—mostly. So stop making it harder than it has to be!
Membership Sites
Ever heard of these? Of course you have! You probably are a member of some of them. The top industries for membership sites includes: dating, diets, and internet marketing. This is just 3 of the many niches that use membership sites, and there are so many more niches that you could build a membership site in!
How much do you suppose you could make with membership sites per month? $100? $200? What if I told you that you could make at least $1,000 per month, with the very real possibility of making more like $10,000 per month? Would you be intrigued? Well, let’s break down how this can happen:
Say you set your membership fee at $20 per month. (That is affordable for most people, as they go out several times a month to eat and most likely spend double that amount each time.)
Then say that you have 100 members. (That’s a modest figure.) That is $2,000 residual income each month that you do not have to work for. What could you do with an extra $2,000 a month?
Okay…here is where it gets really exciting—what if you had 1,000 members? That’s $20,000! Per month! You would be able to quit your job and work on your business full time and really grow it! Are you ready to learn more about membership sites? Keep reading…
What is your passion? Football? Outdoor sports? Magic? Whatever your passion is, chances are there are a lot of other people who share your passions. People that you could make money from. But how do you create a membership site? If you are technologically impaired (like me), then you will need to have someone create a membership site for you. But this could set you back thousands of dollars, and I don’t know about you, but I just don’t have that kind of money to waste on something that can be made a lot cheaper.
Build Me This creates fully loaded pre-built and custom made membership sites that you can start working on immediately to bring in members. For a lot less than having one created from scratch with a freelance programmer…
Blogging
Professional blogging has made its way into our language for a reason—it works. You can get started on this business for free, and review products for payment. You could also review affiliate products, and if people click on your links, you get paid. To get started, follow the steps below and you will be in business!
- Sign up with either WordPress or Blogger for your free blog. Or, you can buy a domain name, and set up WordPress on your domain. Either way works.
- Sign up with Commission Junction and start applying for programs to promote.
- Write reviews.
- And after 3 months, and 20-30 posts, you can sign up with Pay Per Post to begin reviewing products for immediate payment.
And that is it! You are in business as a Professional Blogger!
Affiliate Marketing
This is similar to blogging, but you do not have to set up a blogging account to get started. Here’s how to get set up:
One—sign up with an affiliate program network, such as Commission Junction, and begin applying for programs.
Two—sign up for an account with HubPages.
Three—Begin creating quality Hubs and add in your links as resources.
And voila! You are in business! Now, there are many more ways to promote your affiliate links, but we are not going into that here. This is just one way to get started. Do more research, after you get started with this method.
Residual Affiliate Marketing
Much like the above method, this one has an advantage—residual checks for one sale. These are like membership sites, where you get paid each month for the same sale you made a few months ago. You can get started with these by going to Lifetime Commissions and signing up for programs. Then, begin adding your link with the methods mentioned above.
Article Writing
“Content is King!” The last business idea is to promote all the above businesses by one method—writing articles and plugging them in places on the Internet where content is needed. That’s virtually anywhere…forums, article directories, hub pages, blogs, websites anywhere, and more. The possibilities of where to put your content are endless! You can learn more about this method at the Bum Marketing Method website.
Also, once you get proficient and make some decent money from this, you can actually do this for others for a nominal fee! Or, you could create a members site where you provide a certain amount of articles for a monthly fee. You could grant your users rights to publish the articles with or without your links…the possibilities are endless here.
And that’s how you can easily and cheaply start a business that will bring in money for years. Get started now, will you??
