How to Sell Other People's Products I

If you want to get started selling on the internet, it's a good idea to learn how to sell other people's products. That is called affiliate marketing and is a good way to test the water of internet marketing if you don't have a product of your own yet. Affiliate marketing is an extremely common way of making money online, and a few tips should help you on your way.

You need a website. You will find any form of internet marketing difficult without one, so you are best to start off there. There are lots of web hosts available, but find someone who has their own website and ask for advice, because there are good web hosts and bad ones. I use one costing me under $25 a month for everything I need, include web page design tools, email addresses, autoresponders, a checkout and credit card payment system and lots more.

Once you have a web host you will need a domain name for your website, but first choose your product type. If you want to sell only goods that can be delivered electronically, go to Clickbank.com who have the biggest range of affiliate electronic products in the world. Alternatively, have a look at what is selling on eBay or simply type 'affiliate programs' into your browser, and see what is available.

Having chosen your products, decide on your domain name, which should reflect the products you are selling. If your web host allows you more than one domain, or subdomains, you can add different domain names as you expand your range of product types. Most good hosts allow that.
