If you can build a simple website you can start an online business in Ireland, or anywhere else for that matter. The internet, thankfully, does not restrict you to jurisdictions or geographical boundaries.
There are two great ways to build an online business-
1) Becoming an online publisher with the Google Adsense advertising program;
2) Becoming an affiliate marketer with Amazon.com
Becoming a Google Adsense publisher
An adsense site is basically a site, generally small or niche but can easily become large and ?autority?, which is set up and optimised to do one thing and that is to get the visitor to click on a Google Adsense advertisement.
It will use a design and layout which will not present many opportunities for visitors to click on any links other than the Adsense block which is generally a 336 x 280 block pasted ?above the fold? before or at the beginning of the content or post.
This means that the ways by which anyone can exit the site will be very limited and there will be no fancy graphics, banners, affiliate links or other distractions.
The desired outcome from every visitor is to get them to click on an Adsense ad and earn revenue for the blog owner.
The business model associated with this sort of site will involve either setting up multiple small sites in various niches which are not ultra competitive and which are easy to rank for in the search engines or building one or two large ?authority? sites with lots of content.
It is the proliferation and spread of these sites across a large range of niches and which will derive a small income on a monthly basis that amasses into a good, online publishing empire which is appealing to many under the radar entrepreneurs.
The opportunity for you as a budding online entrepreneur is obvious and the best niches to concentrate on, at least initially, are product niches where small, boring sites about taps, windows, radiators or whatever can form part of a successful publishing empire for you on the internet.
The cost of entry into this business is tiny, you can learn on the job and your only input is to build small product oriented blogs and churn out lots and lots of articles to generate backlinks and move you up the search engine rankings which in turn will lead to free traffic and opportunities for ?clicks? and revenue from your blog.
Adsense publishing may not be the best online business but it is certainly one of the easiest to start with minimal start up costs and is a great way of starting a business online for a newcomer because of the ease of entry into the business and it?s simplicity.
And you do not need any selling skills.
Amazon affiliate marketing
Being an Amazon affiliate basically involves attracting traffic looking for specific products and then sending them to Amazon through your affiliate link.
Firstly, regardless of how successful you are in starting an online business you can rest assured that you will be paid quickly and on time because you will be in partnership with two of the largest online businesses on the face of the planet.
This certainly reassures me a great deal and the fact that when somebody visits Amazon through my affiliate link I know that they are in good hands.
Why? Because Amazon are very experienced online retailers who will be far more successful in converting leads that I send into buyers. In a way I feel that I am piggybacking on the huge amounts of money that Amazon have poured into their online selling platform.
I know that some online business owners turn up their noses at what they perceive to be small returns from both of these companies but this is a big mistake. For example, how much does Mars make per Mars bar sold?
Yes, small money. But sell enough Mars bars or airline tickets (a la Ryanair) and you have a viable and profitable business model with little or no initial investment.
If you create multiple sites you can switch between Adsense and Amazon depending on performance and the feedback you will get from both will allow you to differentiate between your sites which will benefit more from one program or another.
If you are thinking about setting up your own business then the likes of Amazon and Adsense provide real online business opportunities for the savvy online business owner.
