Start Your Own Health and Beauty Products Online Store and Profit in Less Than 24 Hours

Health and beauty products sell extremely well over the internet. If you're sick and tired of your everyday job, or if you're just looking to make a few bucks on the side with an online store, follow these simple steps below and you'll be up and running with your site in less than 24 hours - and perhaps, if you do it right, maybe start profiting from your site from day 1.

Step 1: Create an account at JoeBucks.com

You can then choose from over 50 great sites selling the best in health supplements and natural skin care products. This affiliate program is the best program targeting the explosive sales of the natural products industry bar none. Once your account is set up, you really don't even know HTML to get going with making cash. In fact, JoeBucks will even host your website for free as well! You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal that than.

Step 2: Buy a domain name.

There are a number of domain name registrars out there, but the one I prefer is GoDaddy.com. At their homepage, they allow you to do a domain name search to see what domains are available for purchase. Unfortunately, most of the really good domain names are already taken, but with a little time and effort, you'll still be able to find one that'll suit your purpose. Make sure you choose a domain name with highly targeted keywords in the title. You don't want "joesstore.com"... pick a domain name with keywords such as "health", "beauty", "supplements", "vitamins", etc. or something that goes well with the particular product you're going to promote from Step 1. That will go along way when we get to search engine optimization of your site later on in another article.

As an example, I wanted to promote their Melatrol over the counter sleeping pill product. After quite an extensive search, I discovered that the domain name http://www.otcsleepingpills.com/ was available, so I bought it with my JoeBucks account in mind.

Step 3: Set your Domain Name servers to point to the JOEBUCKS servers

Remember when I mentioned that JoeBucks.com will host your website for free? Once your domain name purchase in step 2 is official, you'll need to change the default nameservers to the JOEBUCKS settings. Log into your Godaddy.com account, click on "My account", then click on "Manage Domains" under the "My Products" in the Domain Control Center. Click on your newly created domain name, and click on the "Nameservers" link. Under the "Custom Nameservers" tab, enter the following for Nameservers 1 and 2:

Nameserver 1: NS1.IBIZDNS.COM
Nameserver 2: NS2.IBIZDNS.COM

Step 4: Brand Your Store at JoeBucks

Sign back into your JOEBUCKS account and from the "Get Website Links" button, find the product you wish to promote on your newly purchased domain name. There will be a link at that page that says "Branded Store". From that page, you'll be able to request a free hosting account to FTP your files to. Does this part sound confusing? If so, that's okay, because you have options.

If you don't know anything about HTML or FTP, don't worry - you can have Joebucks set your site up and running in no time with their Herbal Biz program or you can contact me and I'll help you with your site brand as well. The bottom line is once this step is complete, you'll have a fully functional web presence that even the most finicky web surfer will swear you paid thousands of dollars for. Check out my OTC Sleeping Pills site as an example - Joebucks did that all for me without costing me a penny!

Step 5: Start Driving Traffic To Your Site

Of course the best way to do this is to create a Google Adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing account and start paying for clicks immediately. But that'll cost money and we want to start this online venture on a shoestring. In fact, your entire cost outlay for this entire process so far probably has been the domain name purchase and even that was most likely less than $10.00 dollars! Instead, go to Craigslist.com and create a free ad for your product and post it onto the "for sale/wanted" section of the site. You'd be surprised how well Craigslist pulls. With any luck, you'll get an order sooner than you think!

You've just started your online store in no time, hopefully profited from it on day one, but more importantly, you've created a springboard and a process to generate thousands in cash in the long term for less than the cost of going to the movies. Repeating steps 2 through 5 can make you a ton of money.
