Internet Marketing For Free

If I were planning to start a business, and I didn’t plan to build a website, I would probably follow Anthony Borelli’s Affiliate Millions. If I were broke and didn’t have any money to get started, it would definitely be Ewen Chia’s Affiliate Money Machine.

However, not everyone wants to market affiliate programs. The problem is, if you want to market your own products or services, you will have to build your own website. Maybe that’s the reason that 50 percent of the small businesses in the United States don’t have an online presence. What they don’t understand is that they could radically improve their revenues by spending a few hundreds on a website to get started.

For those of you who absolutely positively cannot stomach the idea of building a website, there is hope for you.

Today I want to share with all of you several ways that you can build websites without ever learning HTML or anything more than copy and paste (Now if you want to go completely without a website, follow one of the two suggestions above).

If you plan to sell affiliate programs, you’ll want to sell multiple affiliate programs. You can do this by writing articles, blog posts, and reviews. The easiest way to get started here is with a blog. You might also want to consider Squidoo.

The advantages of blogs is that you can add multiple pages, so you can write about a wide variety of affiliate programs related to your topic. Blogs are also easy to monetize with things like Google Ads, and if you use Blogger, it quickly gets indexed by Google and tends to rank higher.

The disadvantage is that if you don’t like to write, or you don’t want to spend time building up a content rich site, then you won’t want to blog.

The best blogging platforms online to use are:

Blogger - This platform has a ton of advantages. The only disadvantage is that you can’t future post.

Wordpress.com - This site offers a lot more features than Blogger, and it indexes well in the search engines. Avoid posting too many reviews and not enough content though. Your blog could get deleted.

Personally, if I planned to build a website without building a website, I would build Squidoo lenses. They’re easy to build, don’t require a lot of writing, and you can set them up quickly. Build enough of them, and you can earn a fulltime income. Then all you’d have to do is spend a few hours a month maintaining them.

Here are several other sites, that if you want to create your own products, are great ways to get started online:

CafePress - Not only can you offer tshirts, and tons of other types of gifts here, but you can also offer books and CDs. You can even make your digital downloads more valuable by offering them on CD. You can also offer a newsletter for your site, and there’s a very inexpensive upgrade you can get so you can offer unlimited products and categories in your site. The only disadvantage here is that if you don’t know how to do graphics, you’ll have trouble getting started.  There’s also an affiliate program that pays 15% for affiliates, so you have access to millions of affiliates to sell your products.

Lulu - If you want to create your own ebooks, books, software, and other digital or CD/DVD content, this is one of the most flexible sites on the internet. It’s very easy to use, and you can get started today. You can set up your own presence on Lulu, and you even have access to your own blog. The only disadvantage is that you can’t build a list of your customers.

Create Space - This is Amazon’s free version of print on demand, and you can use this site to create an e-store with your own products. If you don’t want to create your own products, you can join the Amazon affiliate program and create A Stores with any combination of products you like and on any topic you like. Create Space allows you to customize your store to look like your site. A Store only has basic customizations.

Zlio - This site allows you to create unlimited stores on just about any topic you like, and you can easily customize them. The advantage here is that you have access to millions of products, which means you can build stores on just about any topic.

Virtual Portals - If you want to sell Clickbank products, this is a good place to get your own site. The advantage here is that it’s free. Usually, if you want customized Clickbank stores on specific topics, you’ll need to either buy scripts to create your own, or you’ll need to sign up for programs that offer you the opportunity to customize.

My Space - If I were planning on setting up a presence on the internet using a site that had the most tools and options, this would be it. The reason is that you can add a subscription box to your profile, you can upload videos, blog, participate in forums and groups, as well as submit free classifieds. The beauty of this site is that it’s ranked in the top 10 sites on the internet for most traffic, and so it’s an easy way to create a lot of visibility for your business. Although they claim to discourage commercial activity, if you add good content, you won’t have any trouble promoting yourself.

Project PayDay - This, and Squidoo, are my favorite sites for those who are new to the internet. It’s very easy to get started, you don’t need a website, you have multiple ways to earn money, and you can start earning money today.

Whether you choose to build a website or not, you can still make money online. These are just some different ways to do it, and it’s not as complicated as you think.
