Turnkey Online Business
eBiz-U is a company that offers Amazon.com affiliate marketing websites. They give you a selection of online stores and host the websites. Right now they are having a Spring special, with the usual $75 setup fee being reduced to $40. Hosting for your site runs $19.95 a month. You can have your own domain name or use one from the eBiz-U site.
I read over the FAQ and some of the other info and looked into what kind of store this place sets up for their customers. It seems they set up a site that sells just about anything offered by Amazon.com. Amazon also handles the credit card payments so you will not need a merchant account. The site includes Google Adsense ads, and you get revenue from clickthroughs on advertising as well as commission on affiliate sales.
If you are looking for a simple way to set up an online business, this seems to be a pretty good opportunity. You will have to handle promotion of your site and the day to day running of finances, but pretty much everything else is included with this service. Amazon handles all shipping and returns, and unless you sell your own products, which is also possible, you will not have to handle customer service. You will of course have to take care of taxes and the subscription costs for this service, but aside from that this seems like a simple solution to going into business on the Internet.
I researched that Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is an American electronic commerce, e-commerce, company in Seattle, Washington. Amazon was of the first major companies to sell goods by Internet, and was an iconic “stock in which to invest” of the late 1990s dot-com bubble. After the collapse, the public became skeptical about Amazon’s business model, yet, it turned an annual profit in 2003.
