Can you really make a living on the internet without a website?

Can you really make a living on the internet without a website?
That's exactly right, I am going to show you a system that
will make money for you online, without a web site or web
page.

Before I get into this, I want to be clear about a few
things. I am tired, and I am sure you are too, of seeing
promises online for this or that system that is THE way to
make money online. I am also tired of seeing pyramid
schemes and guarantees of specific amounts of money to be
made online.

I truly believe this about the online marketplace: if you
want to make money badly enough, you will make it. But
there are many people online making money in many different
ways---many legitimate, some not so legitimate, and others
downright unethical and immoral.

Enough of my rant. No guarantees here. But this is sure
to turn on some light bulbs in your mind about what is
possible online. Perhaps you have simply been too scared
of trying to build a web site from scratch, or of even
using a site builder to do it. Maybe you just don't think
you can spare the money to get a web site going. Maybe you
just aren't sure what to do and how to do it.

I am going to show you a basic plan for what to do to get
started. And that is what it will do. It will get you
started. Long run, you need a web site. You need a
professional presence online. But if you start small and
reinvest your profits, you can grow big if you just stick
with it.

Let's get started:

First, you are going to select someone else's product to
sell. You are going to use someone else's product because
you do not have your own, yet. To find a product to sell,
go to click bank.com or commissionjunction.com and search
for something you like. Sign up with either company to
become an affiliate or publisher for their products.

Next, you are going to need an auto responder account.
Basically what an auto responder does is allow you to set
up a series of messages that go out to a subscriber. For
example, someone will subscribe to your list and they will
receive an automated, personalized email welcoming them to
the list. On a pre-determined schedule (determined by
you), the auto responder will send to your subscriber a
series of emails with information from you.

Next, you must write a series of email letters. This may
seem absolutely daunting at first, but just do it. The
first ones you write may be lousy, but you will get better.
The first email will just be a welcome email; thanks for
joining my list; here are a few tips about (whatever the
product is you choose to sell). The next few emails should
be informative, offering the subscriber free tips about the
topic of your product. At the end of the email, include a
link to the product you have chosen to promote. Click one
of my links at the end of this article to get a series of
emails from me; that will give you an idea of what you want
to do.

Once you have the auto responder account set up, with a few
messages (I will cover the content of those messages
later), you will generate a web form or link from the auto
responder that will allow the subscriber to "opt-in" to
your list.

Next, advertise the web link or web form in ezines,
newsletters, or high-traffic web sites (as banner ads, exit
pops, etc.). When the readers read your ad and click
through to your link they will become subscribed to your
list.

Keep in mind, that, as simple as I may have laid this out,
it will take some time before you become good at it. You
will have a steep learning curve. You will write good ad
copy and bad ad copy. You will write good emails and bad
emails. You will make a few sales. You will have dry
spells. The key here is to test everything you do. When
you run an ad somewhere, track the ad through your auto
responder service (build a different auto responder for
each ad you run) so that you know which ads produce the
best response.
