Answer: Depending on your business, your product or service, there are many markets that a wordserver website will help you exploit the growing online markets. Below are a few examples:
Large trading organisations
Example: You wish to offer up to 100 products lines
If you have a manageable product catalogue that does not require the use of a database (a future upgrade for wordserver), you can use the system to create your online catalogue in galleries and link each product to an online trading organisation such as eBay. Having your own eBay shop and a quality business web site enables you to leave all the e-commerce to them while you corner the market and attract business from all directions.
Specialist sources
Example: You wish to offer digital photographs, designs or other graphics
Perhaps the best way to profit from your digital photography and other electronic design is to use stock photography sites such as liquidlibrary.com. Please click here for more on stock photography sites on our special website for photographers.
The eBay model may also be suitable depending on your content, and is a popular way to sell prints and original artwork.
Affiliate programmes
Example: Your site provides information on a special interest subject
Think about your target market. Who will be interested in your site and what other related interests do they have. What do they buy? Whatever it is, you will probably find a number of online suppliers who offer an Affiliate programme.
Many websites offer Affiliate programmes where you can earn a commission for new customers you are able to refer from your website. One good example is amazon.co.uk. Their range of books, DVD’s and videos covers just about any subject, and referral fees are paid up to around 10%. However, they don’t only supply books, Amazon has a range of products from digital cameras, PC equipment and printers, to music, software and games all of which can add good content to a website.

Affiliates programmes for software titles often pay much higher rates and our own Affiliate programme for wordserver 2.0 pays a fixed £50 (exc. VAT) for every new customer you can refer to us either via your website or recommendations to friends and associates.
