In the modern economy, there are many forces at work that are making people look for other work, new jobs, or alternate income. One of the pathways to a new situation is by becoming part of the new and growing Internet e-commerce industry.
Sell Products to Internet Surfers
One method involves selling products to the millions of Internet surfers. You could sell your own products, but most likely you will find success by selling the products of others. You can make a commission that varies between 2 and 75 percent, depending on what product you are selling.
How you go about this requires work and creativity, as any successful business does. It's not a get rich quick scheme.
If you have a lot of resources, tens of thousands of dollars, your pathway is different from that of someone entering the market with very low resources.
How to Sell Products on a Small Budget
Let's discuss the low budget person because that describes most of us. To get into e-commerce on a budget or with very few resources, the competition is great and you must be knowledgeable and skilled to be successful. You have to learn from others, because trial and error learning is expensive.
It is generally unsuccessful to simply put ads for a product on a new website and expect them to create a cash flow. You have too little traffic to matter. The rate at which casual visitors click on ads is very low and the rate at which those who click then go on to purchase the product is also very low. We are talking about rates as low as 0.001 percent. You need thousands of visitors to have any sales. But remember, most of that traffic is casual and not highly interested in buying the product when they first arrive.
How to Get Visitors Who Will Purchase Your Products
There are ways to get traffic that is more interested in your product. One is by directly advertising using a service like Google Adwords to send interested people to your website or that of the vendor. But you have to deliver very targeted traffic to have a good rate of conversion. And that means your ads have to be written to attract buyers and to not attract casual surfers.
You can do this by advertising and sending people directly to the site - or you can have a site of your own and send those people to your own site. This is called a Pre-sell Landing Page. Setting up a landing page or website takes work but probably much less than you expect. You can build a website yourself using freely available information.
When the interested person comes to your web page, your goal is to prepare them and sell them on the product. Success at this operation is a numbers game. It usually costs money to advertise to get people's interest. For example, it might cost 20 cents to get a person to your website or to send them to the vendor's website. Then out of 100 people that you send, only 1 to 5 will actually do something like buy a product or sign up for an offer. Therefore, you've paid for a lot of people that did not lead to a successful sale. So you have to keep the cost low and the profit high in order to be successful. Many people spend too much money advertising for the wrong people and wind up spending more money on ads than they make selling a product. So you have to know what you're doing, and there are many sources of information on how to do this correctly.
