Would you like to start your own online vending machine business? A vending machine is is a great business. It runs by itself delivering goods and taking money. All it needs is a little servicing occasionally and for you to collect the cash and replenish the goods.
An online vending machine is far better! Money is sent automatically and your ‘goods’ are digital so there’s a never ending supply which can be accessed remotely online.

What is an online vending machine? An online ‘vending machine’ is very similar to an ordinary vending machine. It can run without supervision and people can buy over the internet and access their products instantly. How does this work?
The business model which capitalizes on this idea is called affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing you act as a ‘middle man’ sending customers to the products. Delivery and customer service are taken care of by the company who own the products. What’s great about this model is you can choose from literally thousands of digital and physical products around the internet.
What Are Digital Products?
A digital product can be anything from an ebook to an online business course. The main trait of a digital product is that it can be accessed remotely from anywhere globally from a laptop. All you need is an internet conection. This is what makes an online business similar to a ‘vending machine’.
Goods are delivered over the internet automatically without intervention. This means you can scale up through online advertising and there is no limit to how many people can access the ‘machine’, pay and get their ‘goods’.
