A digital business system can give you products, software and training so that you can start an online business without any products of your own, experience or technical skills. There’s several ways you can build an online business and depending on your preference you could decide to build any one of several business models:
- An affiliate marketing business – selling other people’s products
- A drop shipping business – distributing products directly to customers through your website
- Print on demand – direct selling of your customised printed logos or images to customers
- Import Export business – wholesale purchases distributed individually through your website
Digital Business For Sale – Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular digital business models because it allows anyone to set up and sell other people’s products with the minimum of fuss. Using a step by step online business system, you can set up a digital storefront (website), an email marketing list, landing pages and a marketing strategy from your laptop.
All of these systems can be automated, which means a digital business can be easily scaled. With digital products, as a third party referrer, or affiliate, you can earn from 30-40% commissions on any products you sell. With physical products, like you would find on Amazon, for example, the level of commission is much lower. Amazon pays between 3% and 10% for most of their product referrals.
Marketing Methods
If you want a digital business which requires no work, expect to pay a lot for it on sites such as Flippa.com. Flippa.com sells affiliates websites and e-commerce websites. To start your own digital business from scratch will require more work, but costs much less. Once you have set up your digital business using the step by step process, you’ll need to choose a marketing strategy. Marketing is perhaps the most important part of business. Without marketing, all the shiny websites, sales funnels and products are useless! You can think of marketing for your business like the heart for your body! Without it, there’s no life in a business.
There’s several ways to market an online digital business and once you have completed the video series you can access training, help and support to learn which strategy is best for you. Here’s a few marketing strategies you can choose to build an online digital business with:
- PPC – pay per click is one of the most popular marketing methods. You pay for ads to show to your target audience. When they click, you pay to send them from an advert to your website.
- Content marketing – blogging and video are two popular methods of generating website traffic for free through content marketing. This article is an example of a blog post. This type of marketing can attract traffic for free, but takes longer than PPC.
- Social Media – you can use paid and unpaid social media marketing to attract people to your online business. Again, the free methods are generally much slower, but can build (organic) passive traffic over time.
Why Start A Digital Business?
Over the last few years there has been a clear shift to the online world. Traditional businesses can’t compete with price, choice or convenience which is offered from shopping online; whether for products or services, information or training.
Traditional bricks and mortar businesses are struggling, particularly over lockdowns in recent years. Businesses that thrive in recession are the go-to businesses of the future; they are digital businesses. So if you’re thinking of building a more sustainable future start a digital business.
