What Is Online Brokering? by
Stuart Pearce
If you are an affiliate marketer or you want to
start an internet home business, online
brokering is an exciting way to use your sales
skills, expand your social network, and earn
commissions along the way.
For many online businesses, creating a steady
stream of visitors can be frustrating. Many
times, these new business owners cannot devote
enough time to building an email list and
following up with customers. As a result, their
businesses are less successful. When you become
an online broker, you will work with struggling
business owners and those who have extensive
email lists by introducing them and suggesting a
joint venture. Not only will you be helping out
businesses in need, you will be able to earn
healthy commissions from your networking
efforts.
Who can become an online broker?
Anyone can become an online broker. Those who
have a large online social network, those who
are internet marketing savvy, or those who are
new to the internet, but who want to learn how
to find prospects to create joint ventures, can
become online brokers. You can do this on the
side or make it a full-time job.
As you become more familiar with online
marketing, you will be able make more deals in a
shorter amount of time, which will equal more in
commissions.
Benefits of becoming an online broker
There are many benefits to brokering joint
ventures online including:
* Using sales or marketing experience * Earning
commissions for working a few hours a day *
Brokering positions are unlimited * Good extra
income for those in affiliate marketing *
Increase online social network * Build a solid
reputation which will lead to additional
business
Online brokers enjoy the same freedoms as others
who run their own home businesses. But instead
of worrying about filling orders, customer
complaints, and monthly sales quotas, online
brokers only need to focus on pairing businesses
that can profit from a joint venture.
Learning how to become an online broker
If you are already involved in affiliate
marketing, then you should know plenty of people
who have been involved in joint ventures or who
are looking for a joint venture. Contacting
people and putting them in contact with others
is really all you will need to do.
But if you are new to affiliate marketing or
want to take your home business in a new
direction, there are online courses, ebooks, and
newsletters available that can teach you how to
become an online broker.
Brokering email lists
If you have a talent for creating email lists,
you can sell them to those who want to increase
their sales. Many times, those who work in
affiliate marketing will sell email lists as a
way to generate more income. As long as you are
honest and let people know their addresses will
be used by other companies, then you are allowed
to sell email lists. Place a disclaimer on your
web site or let visitors choose to receive email
only from you or from others.
Online brokering is a great way to earn money,
help online businesses grow, and bring people
together on the internet.
