Okay its time to get back on topic with this last post or articles of the series “So, How Do You Make Money From The Internet?”

Ebay is the worlds biggest online market place, Ebay as a company is global and has offices in pretty much every developed nation and buyers and sellers can pretty much buy from or sell to consumers in different countries. From a marketing stand point getting your products in front of eye balls or potential customers is key in your exposure of your online shopping cart store and your brand. As well, you are more likely to sell the product if more people see it, right?

5. Develop E-Commerce Website & Sell Your Products Online

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

This method of making online is an option when you currently have a supply of products which you get wholesale from a supplier in your country or you are importing the products in from another coutnry. I have thought about importing items in from China when I used to travel there for work 4 times a year for my last employer 4 years ago, but the economics didn’t quite make good sense to me.

Developing full fledge websites and blogs is another way to make money from the internet or web. I also employ this method in additional to domain parking and micro websites. The results are mixed, however that I think can be mostly attributed to lack of time spent on development and addition of new content on one of my websites. While the other video webiste which I have been working deligently at and actively marketing has been doing extremely well, with traffic increasing 3 times and revenue up 100%.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

I came across this article first thing this morning on Yahoo Finance. It is from Yahoo Finance, and one of its expert panel writers Robert Kiyosaki.

This of course cuts into the return of the investor.

3. Developing Micro Websites

This method of making money on the internet / online is one of my favourite methods. I currently do this with about 57 micro websites, but one thing you have to remember is that the domain names that the micro websites are built on must have type-in traffic. Type-in traffic is where web users type in the domain name like “suv-wheels.com” into the web browser URL field. Type-in traffic is also called direct navigation.
