Easy Start Up Business Ideas

Looking for easy start up business ideas? There’s a huge variety of business ideas available online. From drop shipping, to eBay, to print on demand, online stores and affiliate marketing businesses.

Whatever floats your boat, you can use your laptop and internet connection to build a business from wherever you are.

One of the simplest business models you can use is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing uses third parties to help sell products and services online. When an affiliate makes a sale, they earn a commission based on their referral. Affiliate marketing is definitely one of the simplest online business models you can use if you want to generate an income online.

Amazon, for example has one of the most popular affiliate programs. Anyone can join Amazon and earn money by promoting pretty much any product from the site. When you join Amazon’s partner program, you will get access to your affiliate “portal”. You can link to any product on the site, and earn a commission for any referral sales you make.

Easy Start Up Business Ideas: Advertising

While most business models today offer an “easy start up” process, you’re likely going to find that it is advertising that is key to your success. Whether you build an online store through Shopify, start a print on demand business, or create a drop shipping or affiliate business, you’re going to need to find customers. The initial setup of an online store, a sales funnel, a website or a landing page is relatively simple and straight forward.

With a good program this can be done in a matter of hours with only a few clicks. Since the online set up process is the easiest part of building an online business, it’s worth noting that you will need to spend a lot more time on advertising and marketing your online store to become successful.

Marketing your online “store” can be the toughest part of building an income online. It’s also the most important aspect of running a profitable online business. So it’s worth getting some help and training with this aspect of your business.

Easy Start Up Business Ideas: All In One Business

An “all in one” business system and training community is something I found in 2014 when I was struggling to earn an income online. You can learn more about it in these free videos. What you get from an all in one business system is:

• A range of digital products you can earn from
• “Plug and play” software you can use to set up your business systems
• Pre-made email templates, landing pages and websites you can set up in a few clicks
• Training and resources to learn all forms of online marketing
• An online community you can plug into for help and support.
• Multiple possible business models you can tap into: print on demand, affiliate marketing, direct sales etc.

The Small Print

What most online business “systems” don’t tell you is the easy part is the setup. The more difficult part is the advertising and that’s something you need to learn. Shopify stores, “plug and play business models“, Clickbank courses and the rest will charge you to access the “bells and whistles”. You get to go through a step by step course, a business setup with an email list and automated website and so on. This can all be done within a few days but once it is all set up comes the small print. By this time you’ve usually spent some money with the course you have joined.

You’ve got a business effectively set up and ready to go. But you now need to learn how to promote your online store, or landing page, website or whatever you have chosen. This is by far the most difficult aspect of building an online business and takes the most amount of time and study. If you want a faster outcome, you’ll need to spend money on paid advertising. If you can’t afford paid marketing you will need to create a lot of content. This blog is an example of a free marketing strategy. However, content creation is a much slower means of attracting an audience with an online business. So choose your marketing strategy wisely.
