Business-to-business e commerce is the exchange and transfer of files and money between businesses, and as we’ve mentioned, this began in the 1960s.  It took hold in the 80s, though, when one standard was set for electronic transactions that allowed all businesses to connect this way.

Consumer-to-consumer e commerce is when a person goes online and exchanges goods and services with another person.  Ebay, for instance, is the original consumer-to-consumer site, with its auctions in which anyone can put up goods for sale to the site’s visitors.

Peer-to-peer e commerce began with Napster offering free music downloads via a file-sharing system.  Now there are many more sites and computer programs that operate on that model, where users share files with each other.

And of course, business-to-consumer e commerce is simply when consumer purchase goods or services from businesses online. With the explosion of the Internet’s popularity in recent years, this type of e commerce has become a multi-billion dollar industry that’s only expected to keep growing.

An introduction to e commerce advantages includes the ability to comparison shop from the comforts of home.  There’s no need to stand in line, fight crowds or pay for gas to purchase almost anything you can imagine these days.  Websites cater to each shopper, often with customized recommendations of products based on the items the shopper browses, or previous purchases.  It’s convenient and secure, and much less hassle than driving from store to store.

No introduction to e commerce would be complete without listing the drawbacks.  Some people are unsure about the idea of purchasing online, either because they’re simply unfamiliar with how to do it, or they don’t trust that their credit card information is truly safe.  Often, if they’re not familiar with the store, they might doubt whether they’ll ever received the purchased items. And some people do enjoy the act of browsing through shops for a day with family or friends.  Also, some types of stores do better online that others.  Large purchases, where a consumer wants to be able to see and touch the items before purchase, like furniture, for instance, typically don’t see lots of online sales.

As the popularity of the Internet and society’s growing familiarity with everything online increases, more people will become comfortable shopping online.  As more people are given an introduction to e commerce by their friends, and even their children, sales will continue to rise.

The dot com bust of a few years ago is over and people all over the world are basing their income on running an internet business from home. One way to do that is to create a residual income by selling products that pay you over and over for making one sale.The power of this is some day you will make money even when you do no work. Insurance salesmen have been doing this for years. So have network marketers except they get paid on the efforts of many people and not just themselves.
Membership products make great residual income products because as long as people are a paid member you are making money. Private Label Rights programs would be an example of this. You join a PLR program that pays a 50% commission to it’s members to recruit new members.

The cost is $99 a month, so you would earn $49.95 on the first sale and $49.95 every month thereafter as long as the member is active. In this example you would need around 100 sales to be earning $5k a month.

Residual income programs are very possible to do from home. This type of home business really only requires a computer and internet connection. Maybe a phone or fax machine.

You spend all of your time selling to new customers while getting paid over and over for your old ones. How does that sound? It sounds pretty good to me because I like getting paid over and over for doing my work one time.
