If the idea of building and maintaining a website is daunting to you, don't give up your dream of starting an internet business. There are many options for making money online without a website. Explore the key internet business start-up ideas without a website and decide which one is right for you.

No Website Internet Business - EBay and Online Auctions

EBay and other online auctions offer a fabulous way to start up an internet business without the hassle of making or purchasing a website. All you have to do is research markets, find products to sell, and put them up for auction. The products you sell on eBay and other online auction sites can come from a variety of places. Many people start with things around their own house. Others buy things at thrift stores and garage sales to resell for a profit. You can also find wholesalers that carry products you would like to sell.

No Website Internet Business - Classified Ad Sales

No matter what type of product or service you are offering for sale, you can use online classified ads to sell it. Two popular sites are USFreeAds and CraigsList. If you do not have a product to sell, you can search for wholesale merchandise online, make a craft project at home, or offer a freelance service such as graphic design or writing.

No Website Internet Business - Freelance Writing

As long as you have some proficiency in the english language, you can start an internet business writing web content or copy for others. Getting started with websites like Helium, Triond, and Associated Content is recommended for beginners. You can expand your business to freelance bidding sites and popular business forums as well.

No Website Internet Business - Bum Affiliate Marketing

Combine your skills at writing keyword-rich internet content with the earning power of affiliate programs. Bum marketing requires no website to get started and make a lot of money. Pick a keyword niche, find an affiliate product to sell, and write articles with the affiliate link inside. Affiliate marketing is one of the hottest and most lucrative online business models. It is that easy to start this internet business.

These key internet business start up ideas require no website. Selling your product or service on ebay, online auctions, classified ad sites, and other systems can net you a lot of money. There is no reason to be intimidated by your lack of web design skills. The dream of owning your own lucrative internet business can still come to fruition.

    I have done eBay before. Now I am trying AC a little bit. As 'jcorn' wrote maybe the best would be to do both.....we'll see.........

    Very encouraging article and gives me another push.

    These are super ideas. Before writing came calling, I did quite well on Ebay. I really ought to do both but I'd have burnout for sure!

    Earning money online is one of the big logical conundrums of our time. I've had some success in the past with MLM structured ad-sales, but I'm not really doing much right now. You've definitely hit on a subject of great interest here. Good work!
