Learn How to Make Money Online: Online Shopping and So Much More

Digital storefronts mean different things to different people. To many international retailers, a digital storefront is just another interface through which to sell their products. For those in the know, though, the digital store (@theDSFront) is a combination bookstore and indie publishing platform rolled into one. You’ll find ebooks, white papers, charts and all sorts of digital products created and published by some of the smartest and hardest working people in the business – the people who actually make their living by doing thing things they write about.

How Can You #Make Money Online?

There are literally hundreds of ways to make a living online. If you’re thinking of setting up your own online shopping site, you could spend hours upon hours reading free information available online or you could visit the nearest bookstore and lay out a fortune for books that tell you how to make money online. Both of those approaches have their drawbacks: the free advice you’ll find on websites and blogs is questionable at best, and – well, as noted, you could lay out a small fortune in bookstores without finding the information you need. Luckily, the world’s largest +digital storefront offers all the information you’ll ever need to help you make money online – or anywhere else.Here are just a few of the most popular online business types.

Online Shopping Website

Most people turn to the Internet when they want to buy something, and more and more entrepreneurs have found niches to profit from the growing trend. Some of the most profitable Internet shopping sites actually sell nothing at all – they provide information about products and other online shopping networks. From affiliate marketers to online review and product sites, thousands of webmasters have found ways to supplement – or even replace – their incomes through their websites.

Self-Help Websites

Want to make money online and help other people at the same time? Self-help websites are among the most popular online destinations. Share #weight loss tips and success stories, post job hunting tips or teach someone how to grow a garden, and you can make money through online advertising and affiliate marketing.

Membership Sites

Membership sites are among the most direct ways to make money online – you make a cool website and people pay you to be part of it. Websites devoted to dating online are just one example of membership websites. You can do the same thing with any service you can provide digitally, from offering tips to providing access to a network of professionals in just about any industry.

Find out what you want to know about just about anything from online shopping to current events with a digital storefront subscription to highlight all the best and latest information from publishers you can trust.

Make Money Online: Five Ways to Build Your Online Shopping Weight Loss Community

Weight loss products are big business. If you run an online shopping portal that sells #weight loss and fitness products, you’re up against a lot of competition. When you’re in such a crowded niche, getting more traffic and building site loyalty are the absolute keys to your ability to make money online. How do you bring people to your site – and keep them coming back time after time after time? Try one or more of these suggestions to boost your traffic and build the credibility of your niche online shopping site.

A Daily Tip Newsletter

Successful marketers estimate that it takes at least 7 contacts to turn a looker into a buyer. Can you bring readers back to your site at least 7 times? One of the best ways to build credibility and visibility with your prospective buyers is to get invited into their inboxes with a daily #weight loss tip. Not up for all the work of putting together a daily newsletter? Let social media do part of the work for you. Use #daily diet tip on tweets to make it easier for people to find you.

Digital Download Cookbooks

What’s the one thing every dieter is looking for? If you said anything but recipes (well, besides miracles, of course, but you can’t offer those on your website), you’re not paying attention to what your readers want. One of the best ways to ensure that readers keep coming back to your website for inspiration – and to spend money – is to offer easy access to diet cookbooks. You’ll find lots of them when you check out @thedsfront and search for healthy cookbooks. Once you’ve found a few, you can use them in several different ways:

Weekly Diet Cookbook Review

Review a new diet cookbook each week. Make sure you note which diets the recipes work with as well as how appealing the recipes are. If you include an affiliate link to the cookbook through +thedigitalstorefront, you can even make money online when people buy through your link.

Share Recipes

Dig into a couple of those weight loss cookbooks and post pictures of the complete recipes on a regular schedule. People love pictures of food for inspiration. You can tweet the pictures with an appropriate hash tag or share them on Pinterest (again, with hash tag) to build readership and make them easy to find.

Watch Me Lose

People love watching other people succeed at weight loss. They like it even better when you share your struggles and challenges along the way. Get personal about your diet and use the #weight loss journey to inspire others to follow along with you and, not so coincidentally, do some online shopping in your weight loss store.
