When you think about making money online, do you automatically assume that you must have a website to sell physical products? The truth is, your own website is not a necessity.
In fact, there are several ways to practice e-commerce without your own domain for dropship businesses and for affiliate marketing. Take a look at these ideas to start Making Money Online Without A Website.
Making Money From eBay
Selling items on eBay is one of the quickest, easiest, cheapest ways to start an e-commerce business without a website.
There are several advantages to using eBay. For one, it is an immensely popular site, with millions of visitors already built in. For another, you do not have to amass a great quantity of inventory to begin selling. With drop shipping, you don’t have to buy anything ahead of time and you don’t even have to touch the physical product!
Squidoo And HubPages
You can use Web 2.0 pages such as Squidoo lenses and HubPages to help you sell products. You can use them to point people to an affiliate page or a free web page you’ve set up to use as a sales page. These pages can be optimised for search engines and send plenty of traffic your way. Both of these sites can be monetised through ad programmes as well, so you can start making money online through multiple methods.
Free Blogs
There are a lot of free blogs that you can monetise with affiliate links and sales widgets. Blogger blogs, for instance, monetise really easily and there are plenty of free tools that you can use to get traffic to those blogs
Social Marketing
Social media tools can be used for Making Money Online Without A Website. You can put affiliate links in your microblogging updates and you can social bookmark free blogs, HubPages, etcetera so that more people will land on your affiliate links.
Classifieds
Free ad sites can make you money if you’re great at ad-writing. Some sites will ban you if your ads are overly promotional or appear to be spam but you can often get around this with some creative marketing techniques.
Pay Per Click
If you want to invest in a pay per click campaign for affiliate marketing, you can direct potential customers to your affiliate code instead of to a landing page of your own. This can save you money and time making your own website and then you’re benefiting from the copywriting expertise of the product owners.
Join Programs That Offer Landing Pages
If you join affiliate programs that offer personalised sites or landing pages for affiliates, this also can save you money. Above and beyond saving money, it can also just make your life easier as pages can be pre-created based on selling methods that are already proven as effective.
No one is suggesting that getting your own website isn’t a good idea but you can and should use various free methods of Making Money Online Without A Website.
Have a most outstanding day.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It will really be great helped because I am a totally newbie about this. Thanks again. Keep posting more about making money online.
Hi Sean,
These are all great ideas. Can I use Squidoo or HubPages as a way to test new affiliate products before I buy a domain and build a site around them? Will this give me a reliable indication of whether I can make sales with the product?
Or, should I set up a few of these free options and link them to my Squidoo? Is is a case of the more sites I have the better the indication I would have of the potential of the product?
If I did this though and it proved to be successful, I’d need to set up the main site with the same name as the Squidoo or HubPage right?
You have to be a bit careful Jazz, these sites are not really for just promoting products. In saying that, there is nothing wrong with writing an article about a product and its advantages then including a link back to your blog/sales page etc. Read their terms and conditions regarding affiliate links and the amount of links you can include in your articles as well. I don’t feel the name of your site has a whole lot do do with it.
