    I would suggest starting up a drop shipping business or an affiliate website if you don't have any products to sell and you want to start a site selling physical products.

    It all depends on what you're really looking for. Drop shipping is selling products as a middle man for a distributor or manufacturer. Basically, a visitor visits your site, buys from you directly, you send the order to the distributor or manufacturer and you keep the difference in profits. Drop shipping works-- but it takes a lot of work. You have to track orders, deal with customers etc. When i first started out, i wish i had started with an amazon affiliate store-- much easier.

    Yes! You can start an eCommerce website without any products in your hand. You can done it in few steps, first you find a best "Multi-vendor Shopping cart Script" from internet and try the demo. If you are satisfied with that then buy it and install it on your domain. Then you can add different vendor to your eCommerce website and they can sell their products through your website and for each sale you will get a commission and also you can buy a good amount from the vendor at the time of joining.

    you do not need to own your own product.
    You may just resell.
    You may think of sell domain name. which you buy it and sell it again .
    Or you may just do a website but the website sell those product from others.
    Once order taken , you just purchase the stock and send to client.
    It is and you do not need to have a product on hand when you sell.
    Bought it once you have order.

    Matrix329 said it. Start drop shipping if you dont have your own products. You will want to get a good multivendor shopping cart system. Try www.ezOSC.com they can even integrate a feed of products into your cart so you could have a store populated with thousands of products. This is the best way to go!

    Be careful with drop shipping.

    1. You will likely need to have a Sales Tax ID from your state and/or EIN.
    2. You should not have to pay anything to become a drop shipper. Avoid sites charging a fee for dropshipper status.
    3. Buy a few products so you can sample quality. If you are not happy then your customers will not be. Good way to see their packaging and shipping time as well.
    4. Constantly watch drop shippers inventory to make sure items are still in stock.
    5. Research to make sure the products are not over saturated.

    Go with affiliate products. If you don't have your product you can always advertise others. Also consider making one ( like writing a book )

    To start making online money, it is not necessary to have your own product, this is where affiliate marketing comes. You can purchase product from other company and start selling.

    First of all, how do you generate your traffic?
    Second, is there any specific niche you are interested in?

    Find an affiliate program with a niche you're interested in. E.g. baby clothes or something so that it'll be easier for you to market the product via article writing, joining forums etc. It's always better and easier when you know the products well yourself. Or at least have a substantial amount of interest in it.

    I tend to use rapbank, like clickbank but they pay commissions instantly to your paypal. Some of the products are junk but if you look around you can find a few gems that will sell

    These are nice information you got here. I never thought dropshipping really works but i've tried affiliate business.
    If you work hard you will always earn something.
