Using The Internet As a Business Corporate Edition

2. Online Selling – As A Business
Creating and or marketing goods or services online using websites is a business that many
people are excited about., Today it is seen as a popular internet based passive income
opportunity. Popular affiliate marketing programs such as Amazon affiliate program make the
process easy. The parent company provides the products, tracks sales, and gives commission for
each sale made from the website, or the e-store.
Yet another option, is setting up an eBay shop; an automated eBay shop, either affiliate
marketing, or buying wholesale and selling retail within ebay itself. While eBay normally
requires active involvement, it is possible to automate eBay auctions with any good auction
software programs available on the internet. Such software automates all transactions, including
starting and ending auctions. Hiring out the shipping part also converts ebay into a passive
income source.

Royalties
Royalties from publishing a book, licensing a patent, or some other form of intellectual property,
are other good business opportunities to earn passive income from. Writing books and making
inventions however, require great skills and very often a large amount of time.
Royalties are passive income for all practical purpose, but IRS tax guidelines consider it as non-
passive income.
One important point to consider, is that all the above opportunities make for good passive
income opportunities, only if done in the right way. Failure to do it correctly, would invariably
result in the individual needing to spend time to chop and change portfolios, attract visitors, or
indulge in some marketing exercises.
Among the various options to earn passive income, internet earnings provide the best source for
most, as it requires very little upfront investment and minimal follow up work. Royalties from
intellectual property would rank as an even better source provided one has the skills to produce
quality work. Among the various investment options, stocks and securities rank as the most
profitable althoug volatile, and real estate the most stable but the least profitable for time
invested.
What is the easiest business to get off the ground fast? Here, we explore why the affiliate marketing
business ranks amongst the simplest and quickest home based business to start.

3. Home-Based Business Vs. Affiliate Marketing Online
All home based business ideas are broadly divided into two categories, businesses centered on
the home office and online home businesses.
Businesses centered on the home office are usually scaled down “cottage” versions of traditional
businesses. Examples in this category include pet sitting, home instruction, home based handbag
creation, and gift basket businesses. Such entrepreneurial ventures need time to set up because
the home office may require decorating the dedicated space, buying required furniture and tools,
and obtaining required permits or licenses. Home based businesses also need to engage in some
sort of advertising to get customers to their door.
Online home businesses are usually Internet-based jobs such as data entry services, transcription
services, affiliate marketing, and independent retailers. These businesses are at the top of the list
when considering the quickest home-based business to start as they require little or no
investment. Often, the only prerequisite to start the business is a computer and a reliable Internet
connection.
The Business Model of an Online Marketing Partner with Clubwww1
The Internet is full of merchants and webmasters trying to boost online sales of their products
and services. Most of these merchants and webmasters offer online affiliate programs to drive
traffic and sales to their websites. The online marketer increases traffic to the merchant's website
and the merchant offers the affiliate marketer a commission on the sales generated through such
traffic.
Joining Clubwww1 affiliate programs is easy and usually entails enrolling or joining and waiting
for the webmaster’s approval. The webmaster provides the online marketer with a unique ID that
he or she applies to the links directing traffic to the merchant's website.
The home-based entrepreneur needs to spend some time on research; first to identify the most
suitable online affiliate program and then to ensure the reliability of the merchant. A Google or
Yahoo search followed by browsing popular forums invariably provides basic insight on such
aspects. However Clubwww1 provides a one stop shop for all interested online marketers.

4. A major guiding principle on selecting an affiliate program is the per click visit rate of the
merchant’s website, or the number of sales made per 100 visits. The higher the number of visits
converted to sales, the greater the chances of commission revenue.
Using a Website for Affiliate Marketing with Clubwww1
A website, though not an absolute requirement for starting an affiliate marketing business, is
nevertheless indispensable for success to entice visitors who may follow affiliate links and make
purchases. A good website should contain content relevant to the products marketed.
Setting up a website for an affiliate marketing business is relatively simple, and entails three
basic steps
1. Choose and register a domain name. Select from the available names by searching the “Whois”
directory.
2. Design web pages and write effective content. The most basic type of web pages contain simple
HTML codes that generate automatically when the document is “saved as HTML” found in
programs like Office, Microsoft Office and other common software. More complex interactive
web pages require additional programming and advanced web design skills.
3. Reserve server space to host web pages. Popular online forums like Web Hosting Talk and
others are a good place to identify service providers who offer domain registration and web
hosting services.
The website of the affiliate marketing business is the equivalent of a “retail outlet” or a
traditional business and unlike a physical retail shop, all it takes is a credit card or a PayPal
account and a few mouse clicks to set up.
