1. First of all, you need a computer with an online connection. If you don’t have access to a computer at home, you can go to an Internet café. An Internet café is a business that provides computers (along with an Internet connection) to their customers. This is an easy and inexpensive way to get started if you have little or no money and don’t have a computer.

2. Once you are online, you need a website in order to make money. You have two options here: There are hundreds of sites that offer free websites. You can find them by doing a search for ‘free websites.’ Then, choose the one that best suits your needs and resister. It is that simple.

It is easiest to find and sell products through an affiliate program. So, what exactly is an affiliate program? An affiliate program is an easy method of making money on the Internet. Begin by registering as an affiliate with a company (called the merchant). ClickBank is one of the largest affiliate companies online and you can register with them for free. They provide you with products to sell. Your only job is to refer people to the merchant’s website. Each time one of your visitors buys a product from the merchant, you collect a commission. The merchant is responsible for developing the product, negotiating the actual sale (through their website), handling the payment collection, sending out the product, and handling any problems. Your commission can vary according to the merchant and product but generally ranges between 30% and 75% of the sale price.

You do not need a merchant account, or any type of shopping cart. And the merchant takes care of the sale, dealing with customers, and delivering the product. Your only responsibility is to send people to the merchant’s website, they take care of the rest.
