How to Start a Home Based Wedding Invitation Business

The best way that you can start a home based wedding invitation business is to set up a website and become a reseller for one or two of the online wedding invitation suppliers. Internet Marketing is the wave of the future. More and more people shop online, from the comfort of their own home. And brides are no exception. With everything they have to do to plan an elaborate wedding, they save a lot of time, and often a lot of money, by buying their wedding stationery online.

If you're not familiar with computers and have no idea how to set up a website, there are people out there who will design a website for you. Some of your friends probably even have a website and they could help you set yours up. Or, if you're brave, you could always learn how to do it yourself. It's pretty easy actually and it's the perfect way to market your wedding invitation business because, even if you're sleeping, your website is "Open To The Public" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can be making money while you and your family are at the beach!

To set up a website, the first thing you'll need to do is buy yourself a domain name. This will be the internet "Address" for your business and it's how people will be able to find you on the web. You should choose this name carefully and it should be a name that tells people what your business is just by looking at it. For example, it could be something like "MichellesWeddingInvitations.com." After you've established your website, you'll need to find a wedding invitation supplier who deals with online resellers, or affiliates. There are several really good ones out there and you can take a look at them to see which one you'd like to deal with. Just go to Google and type in "Wedding Invitation Affiliate Program" and you'll get several companies back in your results.

To work as an affiliate with the suppliers, all you need to do is place their links on your website. When someone visits your website and clicks on that link, they go to that suppliers website where they can then buy their wedding invitations. And when they do, you'll be paid a commission. The more people who visit your website and buy something from that supplier, the more commission you'll make. Now that's a pretty simplistic explanation, and there's really more to it than that. You have to know a little bit about Internet Marketing in order to be able to attract people to your website so they'll click on that link. And you also have to give them a reason to click the link. But, once you learn the ropes, you can set up several wedding invitation websites and make even more money. And since all of these websites work for you whether you're at your computer or not, wouldn't it be worth it to start a home based wedding invitation business online?
