In my site philosophy I explain in commandments 4 and 5 that I think every person today should be to some degree “self employed” and have some business of their own. Today the easiest way to make that happen is to make your money with internet marketing and one of the best things you can sell are either software that is down-loadable or informational products that can also be downloaded. With that all you need to do is create the product and market it, there is no inventory, no shipping, no real expenses.
To do it right though one thing you will definitely need though is ecommerce software or what is commonly referred to as an online shopping cart. I was recently asked to check out a site called AmeriCommerce which provides the tools to do this. I found there software is very easy to integrate and quite robust at the starting price of only 39 Dollars a month and if you need help with integration or even some help with web design they can provide that as well.
I like this platform for a few reasons
- Easy integrations with Google Check Out and PayPal
- Very stable platform that is simple but also robust for power applications as well
- It is search engine friendly
- Offers a ton of features
- Tracks your ROI (return of investment)
- Allows you to set up affiliates programs
- And a ton more
So check out AmeriCommerce if you need a good shopping cart program and the best news is they offer a 14 day free trial with every program so you can be sure of their quality of service before spending any money, for that they make my list of recommended sites.

Does Americommerce have products that you can choose from to sell? Or do they just help you with products that you yourself may be selling?
