Are you looking for a cheap job from home business to start-up? How about owning and promoting your own “themed” internet website?

Yes, you can buy a custom built, ready-to-use internet business website on eBay for anywhere from 1 to 99 cents or more. Do a search on eBay using the keywords “Internet Businesses and Websites.”

After winning an auction, go online to buy a domain name for around $8 the first year. Then sign up for a $6.99 per month web hosting account and you could be on the website promoting business for around $95 in your first year.

The trick to making money from this is your ability to promote the site and drive traffic your way. You can earn money with multiple streams of income using Google AdSense, Amazon, Clickbank or affiliate programs and drop shipping when your website visitors buy something or click on another website.

You need to make a good choice among the many options on eBay as some of the sites offered for sale are not that easy to promote. You wouldn’t do very well trying to promote a wedding cake website, since most of that business would be local. Too narrow of a market for what you want to do.

On the other hand, if you were to market a website that promotes chocolate, then your potential market would be much larger. The opportunity to get more customers would be greater. Your advertising or marketing efforts would be more successful.

Try to find a website for sale that provides you with a WordPress blog so you can add new content and keep your information up to date for internet search engines. A good search engine optimization technique is to use new, fresh, up-to-date web content that will keep your audience and search engines coming back. If the seller doesn’t offer a blog in the auction (be sure to read eBay’s full listing), email the seller and ask them to include one. This works for me most of the time with no additional charges.

Stay away from sellers who recommend you to use their hosting plan. They are likely to receive a commission for the referral. You can buy best hosting services anywhere you want. Stick with big name hosting servers like HostGator or GoDaddy and you’ll be fine. In fact, if you start “collecting” or investing in additional websites, a hosting service should allow you to add more sites to your hosting account at no additional charge.
