Do you need a degree to buy or sell online? No, of course not.
To buy online requires no special talent or skills.
To sell online is another thing.
But you do not need a college education to do so.
It is true that many Internet marketers, those who sell online, do have college degrees.
I know a number of successful Internet marketers that started selling online while they were going to college.
In fact that is how they paid their college expenses.
While they were going through college, they made a lot of money on the Internet but it was not from what they learned in the class room.
They learned from other marketers and buy their own experience.
They had to gain a special education.
So Internet marketing is a learning process.
Many Internet marketers start as affiliate marketers.
That is they sell other peoples products and earn a commission from each sell.
Here is the process: 1.
They decided on their potential market.
That is called "finding a niche.
" 2.
They decide on which products they want to sell.
They might be digital products from ClickBank or products from one of the affiliate networks.
Some specialize on Pay-Per-Action or Pay-Per-Click entities available on certain networks.
3.
They research their market and write good content on the subject(s) involved.
They relate this content to keywords or keyword phrases used by searchers on the Internet.
They put this content on their website(s).
4.
They promote their website by writing articles or by PPC or other advertising methods.
5.
When a reader goes to the site, the marketer gives a free gift in exchange for a name and email address.
6.
The reader reads the relevant to keyword content on the website.
If he is properly "warmed up," he clicks on an affiliate link at the bottom of the site.
If the vendor site (from the link) sells a product or gets the reader to perform a certain action, the marketer gets his commission.
This is simplified process leaving out many important details.
You still have a lot to learn.
