Earning Money Online Without a Website
by Richard Adams
Many people are interested in earning money online but don't want to go to the
hassle and expense of building a site. They visit forums and ask "How do I earn
money without a website?".
The answer is that there are a number of ways to do this, but the results are
always even better if you add your own website into the mix. Let's discuss why,
then look at some potentially very profitable businesses you could launch
without a website incase you're still not convinced.
Without a website you'll lose out on a number of very profitable revenue streams:
1. Branding - when you have a website you have a "central hub" of your business
and customers soon get to know your domain name and hence exactly where they can
find you. When I want to buy a book I don't search for it in Google, I go
straight to Amazon. Without their website they'd lose my business.
You can also list your website address on letterheads, on business cards, in
articles, in directories and so on so others can quickly learn where to find you.
2. Free Traffic - without your own website it's far harder to generate free
traffic from the search engines and missing out on hundreds or even thousands of
potential leads each day is like throwing money down the drain. It's how I make
90 percent plus of my monthly income and I wouldn't be without it for the world.
3. Leverage - when you have your own website you see both repeat visitors and
can leverage it by setting up your own affiliate program to draw even more
visitors to it. Both of these are difficult to impossible without your own website.
4. Lead Generation - by setting up your own mailing list you can repeatedly
market to the same leads and so increase the lifetime value of your leads - and
make your marketing more cost-effective.
The easiest way to go about this is to set up a form on your website so people
can sign up for newsletters, special offers, product updates etc. from you and
this can rapidly build a list of thousands of interested people.
The other way is that the shopping cart you use on your ecommerce website can
record the details of everyone who buys from you so you can market to them again
in the future.
Having your own mailing list is like being able to make cash on demand. Any time
you need extra money you just fire out a message to your list and wait for the
sales to come in.
It's the closest thing to having a perfect business that there is.
