While you can certainly use the internet to sell or promote physical items snd services, we recommend you consider digital products. Digital products are ones which can be emailed or downloaded via the internet. They are typically inexpensive to create and can be immensely profitable.

With digital products you have no inventory, manufacturing or shipping costs, so the cost of doing business is almost zero. You can even make money without your own product or service simply by finding and promoting someone else’s or hiring someone to create something for you.

One key benefit to this type of online business is that the entire sales and order process can be automated, laying the foundation for residual income. When an order is placed, a huge range of digital product can be instantly emailed or made available for download upon confirmation of payment.
