Do you need a website to sell online? What to consider.

1. Do You Need A Website
To Sell Online?

2. If you are wondering if you need a
website in order to sell something
online then read on!
I am going to help you determine
whether this is in fact something
you need to have or not.

3. You see the answer to whether you
need a website depends on what your
actual goal is and what you are trying
to accomplish online.
Obviously you are wanting to sell
something and make a certain
amount of money from doing so.

4. For example if you decide that
you are going to promote
someone else's business and
become an affiliate for their
particular product or products
then you won't need a website
yourself.

5. When you become an affiliate you are
given a special link - an affiliate link.
If people click on this link then they are
sent to the company website where
they can read about the particular
product that you have promoted.
So you are not using your own website
to promote the product, you are using
the product owner's website to send
traffic to.

6. So you can see that in this case you
wouldn't need your own website.
You would of course need to drive
traffic and visitors to your particular
affiliate link but you are able to do that
without having a website.
You can use the various advertising
networks that are available online.

7. However if you want to establish
your own identity and create your
own products and brand, then
you definitely need to have a
website.
People will want to visit your
website to find out more about
you and your products.

8. When you sell your own products
you need to have a platform in
place in which to sell them and for
an online business your platform or
shop if you like, is a website.

9. So the question really is, what do you want
to accomplish with your efforts to making
money online?
Do you want your own business where
everything that you do, you are promoting
and building up your own online reputation
and making 100% of the sale?
Or are you happy to promote someone
else's business and make a small commission
as a thank you for doing so?

10. If you're looking for a full time
income online then you really
should be focused on building
your own business and creating
your own products and therefore
you will need your own website in
order to achieve that.
