An Introduction To White Label Business
A white label website can be a great way to get your own online business up and running and making you money with little or no investment. Setting up a business for free means that you are not risking anything if it goes wrong, and is can also provide a useful way to earn a little bit of extra cash for people who are hard up, have nothing to spend, and can't dedicate themselve full time to creating a business plan and going cap in hand to the banks looking for credit which they don't want to give you.
A white label website works a little bit like an affiliate program, only it is more effective for manking you money. This is because when you join a regular affilliate program you are just given links and banners to promote the companies products, whereas with a white label business you get a whole site so that you have the opportunity to get free traffic from the search engines and from other people recommending or making links to your site, as well as direct traffic from people who click the links that you build yourself. But just like an affiliate program you can sell products that someone stocks and ships out and get a commission for each sale, so that you don't have to buy in stock yourself.
The website itself is provided for you, so you don't have to be able to write programming code or have any particular flare for web design.
What To Look For In A White Label Website Business Opportunity
Although the company who you choose to sign up with will provide you with your own website - either for free like the ones listed below or at a cost as is the case with some others - it is vitally important that you have the option of customizing your site in some way. This is because in order to get your site listed in the search results pages of search engines like google it needs to have some unique content which can't be found elsewhere on another site. You don't need to mess around with the functions of the site or change the design if you don't want to, you just need to be able to add your own text on the home page, and preferebly also on any internal pages that you would like people to be able to find using search engines.
Some Recommended Sites:
The white label programs suggested here are all free to join, although you will need to get yourself a domain name (website address) which you can pick up for under a fiver per year. If you don't even want to spend this small amount of cash then you can take a look at this review of a free white label hosting reseller website [1] which gives you the option of using a subdomain of their site to host your business on.
Mobile Phone Price Comparison [2] - Compares the market for pay as you go, pay monthly contract, and handset only phones to find the best deal. It also includes a free gift search so visitors can find all of the UK deals which include a free TV, for example. You get around £3-5 for pay as you go and sim free handset only phones, and around £15-25 for contract phones. If you follow the link you will go to an example of the kind of site you will get, then you can go to the bootom of the page and take a look at the links in the footer for information about how to join up.
MyVoucherCodes [3] - Is a regularly updated directory of online shopping discount voucher codes for shoppers to get money off their purchases. You get a clone of their main site, but with your own branding.
CashbackPartners [4] - There are actually a few providers of white label cashback programs - which offer shoppers a cashback loyalty shopping program when they buy from a range of retailers - but I would reccomend this one as the best if they accept you. You do have to have some previous experience of online marketing though, as they put the extra time into giving you a quality custom website they do like to try to make sure that you will be worth the time first, but it can make you some excellent money if you are accepted.
