In this article, I will share with you the top business ideas for making money. Some ideas are very straightforward, and require a zero investment and no-prior experience, while others are for more experienced people with a good budget.
1-Using Clickbank and USFreeads. Clickbank is the internet’s largest retailer of digital products. You can choose numerous products from clickbank based on a number of things: filling a gap in the market, the profitability of the product, your niche market, etc… After choosing product(s) from clickbank, you can register at USFreeads for almost $15 and place an unlimited number of ads instantly. Hence, you can start generating a reasonable amount of traffic to the products you are promoting on the same day. You must be able to make at least one sale a day. A quick estimation:
Suppose you have written 50 ads promoting clickbank products on USFreeads at conversion rate of 1%, how much money will you make per month?
50 * 10 views/day * 30= 15,000 views
Now, if you are conversion rate is only 1% and your commission is $30, you will be making 15,000 * 1% * $30=$4,500 a month
I honestly don’t think you will be making $4,500 in your first month, but you may easily make $400 in your first month. You will learn many tricks along the way, like which products sell more.
2-If you have a passion for a certain field, you can start your own blog, and start writing articles about that field. To get visitors quickly, you can register your own blog at Squidoo, Blogger or Hubpages. Or you can have your own .com domain where you can host your blog. Visitors will eventually bookmark and like your blog if they find your articles. Most importantly, be original and creative and write unique articles. Lots of blogs have very silly topics like obsession about cats, stamps, beaches, etc… and they are still getting a humongous amount of visitors each month. Therefore, don’t worry if you are specialized in a certain field. Once you started generating traffic, you can start monetizing your blog using google adsense, selling amazon products, or advertising other people’s products in which you earn a commission.
3-Email Marketing. Opt-in emails advertising is one of the very powerful methods of marketing your products and making a profit. Your emails should target an audience who is interesting in the product you are selling, or else your emails will be labelled as spam. If you are new to email marketing, it will take you sometime to build a mailing list. Some websites like http://www.email-point.com sell mailing lists based on category.
