All though Making money on the Internet is considered ecommerce, I separate the types of business into Two categories. Affiliate marketing is by far the easiest one of the two and can be as simple as a landing page or blog in which you present a good deal of information on a topic of choice and then find affiliate partners relevant to that topic and they provide you with text links and or Graphic links. So when the reader of your information has been warmed up, they click on these links and are forwarded to the sales page of your affiliate. These links include an affiliate ID so when they arrive the sales company knows where they came from and in turn gives you a commission for any sales incurred. Now the other option is what I call ecommerce and that is a site with a shopping cat program in which you sell your unique set of products. In this option there is far more involved, such as finding product, finding and dealing with wholesalers and or wholesale drop shippers, Drop shippers are wholesalers that you forward your orders to and they for a fee package and ship the product to the customer. It can be very difficult and time consuming to hunt down these wholesalers, legitimate ones that will deal with you the internet marketer. This is where companies like world Wide Brands and Doba come in they have data bases of wholesalers pre qualified and throughly checked out available, and that simplifies the process a great deal . but be Aware these are fee based companies. They are reasonable though so don’t panic. These are the two option availiable to you, depending on the amount of available time and effort you can put in should be a part of the decision you make and no matter which one I am here to help you through getting started and setup.
