No website? No problem. A simple business idea to try.

Don't let the fact that you don't have a website stop you from making money on the internet.

Just copy this business idea. Only cost is in advertising with Google Adwords, but that doesn't need to cost a fortune. I started with about $50 to discover what would work and what wouldn't.

When you see some success from your adverstising you will want to ramp the business up and that will cost a little, a very little!

Essentially, what I'll describe in this blog is how to advertise and sell downloadable audio books online. Think how huge the market for audio books is. Commuters, the blind, people who have difficulty holding a book, and so it goes.... Most people these days have an mp3 player or CD player.

First of all you'll need to sign up to be an affiliate of an audio books store. Leisure Audio Sales has a fabulous range, great affiliate support and training, and offers free excerpts so that customers can try before they buy.

Then you need to decide what titles you want to promote. Do you want to promote specific titles, an entire category or perhaps the entire store? The training section for affiliates gives ideas on what to promote and how (even offline promoting at doctors surgeries etc).

You'll need to sign up for a Google Adwords account. Get the advanced account straight away. It doesn't cost anything and it's a lot more flexible.

Learn all you can about Google Adwords from their website and do this free 5 day Google Adwords ecourse by Perry Marshall.

One thing you will learn is that you'll need some keywords for you ad. Keywords are how people search on the internet ie. what they type in to the Google search box. Google adwords are displayed on the right hand side of the returned results. This is where you want your ad to appear.

Your keywords will need to be things that people are actually searching for. To find this information you can get a free 30 subscription to Wordtracker. However, before you do this make sure you have completed the course and signed up for and found your way around the audio books website. That way, you'll have a full 30 days to concentrate on your keywords for no cost.

I'd be interested to hear how you go.
