subject: Maria Gudelis - Do You Really Need Your Own Website To Market Online? [print this page] This question is for you 'newbies' aroundThis question is for you 'newbies' around. Okay, so you have put interest on the thought that you may want to be involved in or at least browse the wide wide world of Online Marketing! Soon enough, the question comes up,'will I need my own website?' Or, 'does this mean I'll have to have a website?' This may even be stated with certain trepidation.
One of the reasons I'm going over this query is because of some marketing opportunities being presented on the web or elsewhere that use the pitch: "no website needed". What is the reality here? Are there ways to make cash on the internet that do not require the operator to have a website? Well, yes there are, but after you learn about them, you may believe they are not what you were referring to.
Trading the financial markets If you know what you are doing and have sufficient trading capital, yes, you can be quite successful trading a market(s) and, no you won't need your own website. I'll bet you were not thinking of this.
Auction selling as in eBay. As a part time activity, it definitely qualifies. Like a simple full time activity, it might qualify. The reality of the matter is that the best successful auction kind sellers usually do possess their own web sites and online stores.
So, where does the "no web site needed" pitch originate from? First, it appears to come from sources that have minimal experience online themselves and are, for that reason, not credible sources. Next, it seems to come from sources that are making use of it as a marketing ploy to get hold of the business of people who are "faint of heart" or only marginally ideal to become online marketers themselves. One could say that it's being used as a form of "half-truth" bait.
There are online marketing methods that could be utilized without a website. However, experience will generally show, that the majority of of these similar methods could be used even much more successfully with your own website. Generally, maximum effect, with the least needed effort, is what most online marketers are seeking.
