Is there no Way I Can do my Online Biz without a Website?

24 replies
I sincerely need a help here because I have been on this biz for so long without website. I am making money selling my products without a website but each time prospects came back to ask for my website. Pls don't get me wrong, not that I hate website but each time I tried to look into website I found it too complicated to manage and operate.

So because of this plus the fact that I worked full time in another offline biz, I want to discover if there is any other way I can succeed online without this website thing.

Some of my friends said it is impossible but I hate the word impossible especially in this computer & internet era .Maybe, there is going to be a way. Pls helps me.

Truly,

Yours Time

    It's not very complicated, in fact, I am 13 years old, and the 1st time I made a website I found it extremely simple. Comon dude You can do it , wordpress... find a good theme, and you're ready to go..

    Yes you can make a living and more without a site selling products, but it will be much harder.

      Another way to go is to just make a dedicated "opt in" page with an autoresponder sequence that has up to date info on your business and products.

      Only requirements are:

      1) domain name - namecheap.com
      2) webhost - hostgator.com
      3) autoresponder service - aweber.com
      3) opt in template - free on the internet

      Price for all above: Around $60.00

      To implement:

      1) Hook your domain name on your webhost
      2) Edit template to redirect to aweber - (I use NVU or have someone edit it for you)
      3) Set up your list in aweber
      4) insert at least 5 pre-written emails greeting your subscribers and keeping in touch with them and also insert Paypal links to buy your products in the email sequence.

      Sounds more complicated than it really is. If you need help PM me.

      regards,

      Bruce

      If a 13 year old can do it with WordPress, don't you think that you can too?

    Normally, people don't want a website because they cannot afford the hosting fee at the moment but from what you mentioned, since $$ is not an issue, then I suggest you to take a look at Xsitepro. Maintenance is a breeze...

    Or you can even use Wordpress.. it's simple to update and manage too. Nothing technical at all.

    Cheers!

      If you buy a domain name through GoDaddy, they have a feature called Website Tonight that makes it super simple to set up your site. You get a free hosting credit when you purchase your domain name and can use it to set up Website Tonight. It's really simple - check it out!
      Good luck,

      Sure you can make money without website...but it's much more effective with a website...one of the main reasons is having a website allows you to capture the email adresses of your visitors..so you can drive them whenever you want to your site in the future...

      Still you can make money just sending traffic to your affiliate links...

      If you dont want to build your websites you could also outsource it...

    How do you propose to be involved in an internet business with out the internet????

    You have no experience in IM or Web Development yet you propose you can identify a break through in online marketing without a website... or that someone responding to your three lines of jabber will have a magic lamp for you to rub...

    Figure out how to set up a website or a blog or get someone to do it for you... It's not that difficult if you apply yourself... otherwise just continue to sell offline... this question makes little sense.

    Hey Believers Time,

    I think you will find it a lot easier than you think, gone are the days of complicated HTML/CSS - If you use a host like hostgator you can install a wordpress blog in 5 minutes using an easy graphical interface called "Cpanel".

    The great thing is, you can get more tutorials than you can handle FREE online to show you, even try YouTube, you will find many people showing you.

    Hope it works out well buddy.

    Your imagination is probably making it difficult than it really is. I don't get some people. My business partner used to dismantle bombs, was under fire during military service, served as a bodyguard for targeted individuals (and got shot doing so), among an array of dangerous occupations. He's intimidated by computers.

        thank you for this question. You know, I create my ebook & sale them to those on my lists & believe me, you can't really imagine the amount of money I made from that. I am very good in email marketing stuff so since I can't do website I made do without it.

        You see,the good thing about info marketing is that you can decide what you want & how to operate.I place my ad on local newpapers & attract the attention of those that needs my kind of service: the rest is done through email marketing.

          Great, so you answered your own question.

          If you want to attract people without a website, you need to reach them
          offline through the methods you're using now and then sell them via your
          email campaigns.

          If you have no web presence, people who ONLY use the web can't find
          you...period.

    With WordPress, I don't need to worry anymore. Almost all of my websites are based on
    wordpress. It's easy to install and use, and has lots of capabilities.

    Spend time learn how to use it and you won't regret.

    If you really don't want a website there are a few things you can do:
    1) Get a domain from GoDaddy and forward it using masking to any afilliate link you may be using
    2)You could use something such as BZ9.com. There are ways of doing this for free but i personally couldn't tell you how... If you are promoting an affiliate offer then you can add a drop in onto any page with your auto responder on it. This way you can build a list and get conversions without the issue of a website

    However BZ9 isn't your only option.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you Believers,

    I just joined this forum today and found your question about website very interesting. It relates to my own personal thought few months back but the truth is that you need a website to make it online.

    Spent some time to understand how website works and you can't imagine what your turn out will be like. So simple.Don't be left out.

    A website can be online in 20 minutes.

    What's so intimidating in

    1. Click a bookmarked link and login with username/password.
    2. Click "new post"
    3. Click "publish"

    That is ALL it takes these days.

    It will cost you less than $200.

    I run a few startups that address critical business problems. PM or Skype me about joining my direct affiliate programs. My products are business continuity and customer testimonials. Both are unique.

    Get a website, dammit! This is the World Wide WEB, isnt' it? You can buy a terrific template for less than $100. Your hosting/domain name costs will be under $100 per year.

    Seriously. If you are making money now why not hire someone or get a free blog (not recommended). Are you saying that you don't have the courage to invest in yourself? Hate to say it, but you won't get far that way.

    Good luck!

    Very easy to set up a Wordpress blog. Cpanel > Fantastico > Wordpress > Install >

    Then start posting to it. Plenty of tutorials at Wordpress.org.

    You can do online business without having your own website. In other words, you have to joined affiliate program or network where you can find lots of product, named any you will find it. Soon you choose what you want and then you can start promoting the product through advertisement in the related category website.

    yes you can do this. But it involves spamming which is not a good practice imho.

    However, you can sign up with affiliates , some affiliates that do not require websites. Then what you can do is promote those links, etc in offline and online etc.

    For example - Hostgator.com affiliate does not require you to have the website.

    secure.hostgator.com/affiliates.shtml

    Good Luck (I have Been there without a site , but its fun having a website, its like your grocery store)
