What is Internet Business?

by JY Chia

Internet business basically means using the internet as a medium to run your business. Take for example the use of the telephone, you do not talk to the telephone, you are talking to the person on the other end of the telephone.

The statistics of people running internet businesses has been on a rapid rising trend and as mentioned in another article of mine that more then 8000 searches have been enquired the topic of "home based businesses" in the search engine in the past 90 days.

Running an internet business is fairly feasible. There are many profit models to choose from, from using auction sites like eBay and Yahoo Auctions! Capitalizing on advertisements through Google adsense, niche marketing, affiliate marketing and many other options.

I will share with you briefly on affiliate marketing because I have been focusing on this area for close to two years and by doing this particularly marketing, had reaped a fair share of profits. Affiliate marketing in short means selling other peoples product or services. By doing so you get a cut of the sale known as commission.

Till date, there are more then 101 products and services up for grabs! And these merchants are clever to have affiliate programs to push their sales. Therefore, just focus on what you want, perform some research if the product or services is profitable and its market potential. After which, just focus your energy on driving traffic to your merchants site through your unique affiliate website/url/ID.

This is by no means exhaustive on the topic of affiliate marketing, this is just the tip of the ice berg. Note that there is a possibility in affiliate marketing and that you have a choice to leverage on the internet to run your business, your show.
