An Easy Business Opportunity That Is Often Overlooked

There are always internet marketers talking about how to monetize a site better. There has also been a lot of talk lately about buying up websites that aren't monetized well (but with lots of traffic) in hopes of monetizing them and making a fortune. However, I think that there is another easy option out there that is often not only overlooked, but can be very cheap (and sometimes free) to do.

Here's what you do: Look for small businesses (or individuals) who have a really good offline product that you think could easily become an awesome online product. When just a little looking around, I've come across tons of great products and services that simply aren't marketed at all. Some might have a website with no marketing done, while others might not even have a website yet. You can not only look online, but you can also look at local businesses and people who you already know to see tons of opportunities.

If you are able to get the attention of these owners and establish even a small relationship with them, I'd be willing to bet you that many would listen to you and would be more than happy to give you a decent percent of the profits if you did the marketing online for them.

I've done this myself and find it VERY easy to do and is a huge opportunity that many people overlook.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. In 2000 I started a brokering relationship with a local mfg company. At the same time I was completing a 16 week college course on building and promoting websites. Now I webmaster all the sites I created for this company and earn $5k in commissions from promoting their main product line on the internet. I agree that their are hundreds of local opportunities like this.

Also, I am transferring all my domains and websites to 1&1. Thanks for highlighting this great hosting company.
