There are many revenue channels available for a small business to generate revenue from
its
business
website. They include the following:
- Promote products and services online; Provide e-commerce
functionality to complete the online transaction online 24/7
- Promote products and services online; Encourage visitors to
visit your brick-and-mortar store to make purchases.
- Promote products and services online; Provide a phone number for
visitors to call to make purchases
- Sell related products using a third-party advertising firm such as
Google or Commission Junction (Google
Adsence, Commission
Junction)
- Create an online store in conjunction with an established third
party such as Amazon (Amazon
A-Store)
Although the e-commerce option (#1 above) requires specialized
business web hosting functionality, none of the other revenue channels
do require complicated web hosting functionality.
