Lets me start off by saying that there are a number of ways to sell a product without a website.
1. One easy way would be an affiliate to a product. If your in the Internet business and new, you may have never heard of an affiliate. There are 3rd party company's that handle the money handling between a merchant and the affiliate. This is very simple to do. You set up an account with ClickBank, and then look at the marketplace. They have thousands of items to choose from. You select a product you want to promote and your off and running.
How do I promote the item with out a website?
You can start by doing some keyword research and target a few phrases. Then set up a google adwords campaign and start running adds. You can find some pretty good keywords for around .5 - 10 cents a click. Just $5 gets you 100 clicks. If you did your keyword research well, you should convert a few of them to profits. The merchants usually pay out around 50% - 75% commision. In some cases you could get $50 for on sale.
How do I get a link to the merchant?
You take your link provided by Clickbank, and attach it in your campaign. Once a person clicks on your adwords campaign, they a brought right to the merchants site. There you go no website needed.
What if they don't buy that day, but go back to the merchants site in 3 days without going through my link again?
This is probably the most asked question about affiliate marketing. Once they click on your ad, there is a cookie set on their computer. This will stay there for up to 30 days, but sometimes up to 60 days. So, if they visit your link on day one, but bookmark the merchants site and visits again on day 29, you still get the sale. Just remember, once they click on your link, their yours for 30 days.
BUILD A REVIEW BLOG
One other way you could make money without a website, is build a blog at www.blogger.com. These are real easy to build and even easier to update. You can do reviews on products side by side. Have links on your blog as you mention different comparisons. You will put some affiliate links in your review. When they are reading your review, they may click on a link because they want to see what you are talking about. Once they click on a link, there your customer now.
How do I get people to come?
First, you need to make sure that you selected keywords right for your blog. Take some time to do some research on your selections. Blogger has been known to get ranked pretty well by Google.
There are lots of ways to drive traffic to your blog. I am going to give you 3 ways. First, I would find a few forums in your niche and sign up. When you create your profile, include your blog address in the signature box. This will be displayed when you make replies to questions. Start answering some questions. Pick posts that have lots of views or interest. Try and be a professional with your replies. You may need to do some research to become smart on the subject, but you can do it. Once you make some replies, people will start coming.
The next way would be to start writing articles and submitting them to the well known companies.( Ezines, Goarticles,UsFreeAds, Ebay Reviews) Your going to want to link from your articles to your blog. This will give your blog a more dominating feel to the search engines. You can also build other blogs with Squidoo and Hub Pages. Again, link to your main blog.
Another way, would be to put together a small eBook with some useful tips or tricks that could help your Niche crowd. Everyone is looking for tips and advice. Now list it on ebay for .99 cents, and put you links inside to your blog, but also to you merchants that your promoting. You could get people to your blog or people reading and clicking on your links in you book. You might also include a link to your blog on your eBay (about me) page. You can't put links in your description, but you can on the about me page. I think the listing fee is something like .50 cents, but for lots of traffic, you can't beat it.
Well, thats it for now. I hope this has helped in showing other ways to making money online, other than a website.
P.S
You could also put some adsense ads from google on your site and get paid when people click on them. They pay .5 cents up to $1.75 per click. This can add up.
Take Care!
