I don't know - I suppose it depends on what you are going to sell and whether other people are selling a similar item and prices etc. \n\nI sell quite a few quality products on there, just as a hobbie really and it is a great way to make some extra cash.  \n\nIn the long-term though  .. could you rely on this as a main source of income for yourself or your family? and you have not got a pension scheme with it etc. \n\nIt is worth looking into and doing your research.

Yes, you can make money as a mystery shopper; however, you should not expect to make a living at it. For most shoppers, mystery shopping is an enjoyable and flexible way to earn extra income. Many shoppers work full-time at another job, or they are students, retirees, or at-home moms.\n\nDo not pay to register with any company. Legitimate mystery shopping companies will not charge you to apply.\n\nI have a lot of free information about mystery shopping at my Web site, and I am also the author of "The Mystery Shopper's Manual."\n\nCathy Stucker\nhttp://www.IdeaLady.com/shopping.htm

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.\n\nTo answer your question, it depends on what you want to do, what you want to achieve with your site, what you can do, and how much resources you have. If you have access to cheap products that you can sell for a significant profit, then an ecommerce business is for you. If you make your own products, then ecommerce is for you. If you are a programmer, you can create a software and offer it for sale on the web. You can also create your own applications and develop your own site's programming. \n\nHere are the main business models you can adopt:\n\n1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web. \n\nYou can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay\n\n2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or PowerHomeBiz.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:\n\na. Advertising - whether by joining banner ad networks such as Tribal Fusion, BurstMedia or Fastclick and display the banners on their site; or through contextual advertising such as Google Adsense or Intellxt\n\n1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services. \n\nBurst Media http://www.burstmedia.com\nFastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com\nAdvertising.com. http://www.advertising.com\nTribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com \n\n2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system. \n\nGoogle Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/... \nYahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/ \nIntellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.ht... \nQuigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm... \nIndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com \nCommission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com/solutions/optimized_ad...\n\n3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!" \n\nb. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)\n\nc. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information\n\nd. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

Yes.\n\nSimply sign up with an affiliate network like Cj.com or either Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher. With an affiliate network, you can place banner ads on your site and earn commission on each sale you make. With Google Adsense/ Yahoo Publisher you earn money every time someone clicks on a text ad. If you have a very popular site with deent content, you can make a lot of money, like $12 or more a day.\n\nKeep in mind, though, that when you're first starting out, it takes awhile before you can begin to see decent income, so don't expect to make a lot of money right away! It takes time.

There is an amount of money that can be earned by doing web development.   The amount that you can earn depends on what it is that you do.  The different aspects are:\n   - graphic development\n   - page design\n   - basic html coding\n   - complex server-side programming\n   - customization of design templates\n   - selling/reselling hosting services\n   - web site management\nEach of these functions would pay a different amount of money.\n\nSince your question was a little ambiguous I'll have to give you some more.  If you are going to sell something on your own web site then your profit will be based on any advertising revenue or ecommerce revenue generated on your site.

For branded items, especially electronics goods, you may find the information of their site itself. For the others, for which no site/ information of site is available, you can trust shooping sites like ebay to some extent. They will keep their rates close to the market rates (sometimes a bit higher, but never less).\n\nHope you find it useful.

A lot of the people I know do it through two ways: either advertisments or through an affiliate program. By creating a site people want to see and then placing Yahoo or Google ads on it you can earn money when visitors click those ads. \n\nAffiliate programs are offered by many big companies like Amazon.com. Basically you sell their products on your web page  and you get some of the profits for each purchase! Check the links below for more information.

Yes I have an Internet Product Brokerage company, similar to amazon.com.  I make money while I sleep!

No unless you already have some things you can sell on EBay.\nThere are a lot of people like you around and they often get taken advantage of by hustlers.\nA legitimate online business has start up costs unless you become an affiliate. But you do need to know how to do search engine optimization and make web pages for that. I actually made a great deal of money as an affiliate but put a lot of time and effort into making web pages.
