Previously, I highlighted the three main product categories used by most online marketers: Products, Services and Content (information products). Now, how about some product types from within those categories? Today, I’ll give you a few specific Internet home business ideas.

Much of the material was enlightening and, in fact, I still have the first such book that I bought: Plan For Mail Order Profits, by David G. Baron, published in 1975.

Today, Internet Marketing is the preferred way to build a home business. In this post, I will highlight the three primary product categories that most home business marketers use to build their businesses. … Read the rest of this entry
