All day yesterday, I was researching on the websites for sale on eBay. I just quit an unproductive and unrewarding endeavor so here I am, back to internet marketing.
As a stay-at-home mom, there is just nothing for me to do to make money except go online and do it. I cannot do real estate or car dealing or anything big like that as I am home-bound in every sense of the word. I have a child to take care of. My time to go online is even limited.
I looked at websites for sale on eBay. As you know, if it's on eBay, they are cheap. But looking at the websites, they do look great. With built-in Google Adsense, Amazon store, eBay store, and other affiliate network. They promote them as four-stream of income. Ready-made and as the product description says, the only thing you have to do is to advertise the site. That's the catch right there --you have to advertize the site. And God knows how a herculean task that is. People getting into a website business with no clue of how internet marketing works is in for a surprise and disappointment. I've been there and getting traffic to your site is just the biggest hurdle there is. A website is nothing without a visitor.
The websites come as package deal, with domain names and hosting. But the more I dig in, the more they become unappealing to me. These eBAy website vendors sell the same kind of website, not changing the look of the site and just changing the domain name. It's like they are just selling the hosting and not the website. Well, hosting is okay because it's more of a hassle to transfer the website and the domain name and you are going to get the same rate anyway. But would you like to own one of the hundred or so websites with similar apperance, subject, and content? Think twice.
I thought twice and backed out.
