Do you have a knack for marketing and selling but, very little in the way of available capital to set up your own online store? Would you like to work at home but, dot have a product to sell or service to offer? A turnkey website could be the work at home  solution you are looking for.

These sites are sold “prebuilt” to varying different degrees. The fact that most come with a payment system and many of the tools one needs to sell online already included saves a lot of money on web designers and other Internet “experts”. There are numerous options such as affiliate marketing sites, dropship sites, AdSense sites, and others. You essentially choose what type of product/service you want to sell from one of the turnkey operations. You purchase a pre-built website and start selling. For those without website developing skills this might be a good option. However, the downsideis sometimes only a limited amount of customization available, meaning that you might have to do a lot of offsite web promotion to get customers to buy from your site.

If you decide to investigate the world of turnkey websites take time to do your homework. There are a large number of products available to sell and you will need to make sure that there is a reasonable market for one that you choose.


Generally you will pay a one time fee for the site and possibly a monthly fee for hosting and other services. Some such as TurnkeyNation offer specials like “free hosting for year” when you purchase one of their websites. You can always use hosting services from another provider if you wish. Dotcombuilder.com is another good place to start.

After they have established a website and are making money from home out of the venture some entrepreneurs decide to sell their websites on. This practice is growing daily but needs to entered into carefully, especially if you are considering purchasing a website that already exists. Do your homework and make sure this is the right option for you.
