The methods of Selling Coffee Online
- Selling coffee on your website
- Drop shipping
- Affiliate marketing
Selling Coffee on your Website
If you have an inventory of coffee and you want to sell it online, you need to set up a website.
Selling a product though your website is not a way to start an online business.
It requires a lot of things that a beginner will be overwhelmed. It can be done but you need to know how to build and run a website.

Drop Shipping
This is a rather complicated online business which will overwhelm a beginner.
You will have to build an ecommerce website by using shopify or other platforms.
You do not need an inventory for this business, you just accept coffee orders from you customers.
You process the billing and once a sale is finalized, you order the product from a Drop Shipper and have it delivered to your customer.
The difference between your selling price and your buying price is your gain.

Selling Coffee Through Affiliate Marketing
For a beginner, selling coffee through affiliate marketing is the best method to trade on this commodity.
You can promote this product through your website by product reviews.
It is a very simplified business, costs very little money to run and fully automated once set up.
Once your website is setup and running and having a decent traffic, it is time to monetize.
Enroll in Amazon Associates and eBay Partner Network and start selling coffee online and make money.
You can then do specific coffee product reviews through your website.
These are the products you may want to feature on your website and these are just samples of specific product reviews you can have on your website.
There are so many coffee products available on Amazon and eBay and remember you do not have to post a lot on your website, just a couple will do.
Once the visitor is on Amazon or eBay through your website, and they changed their mind and bought another big price item you will still get the commission.
Not bad for trying to get a commission for selling coffee but getting a commission for higher price item instead.
Affiliate marketing is cool, isn’t it?
Writing Product Reviews
Here are the samples of the product reviews you will post on your website.

Illy has been my favorite brand of coffee ever since. I am an Espresso Aficionado, in my opinion, I should say, and nothing beats a well-brewed Espresso.
I used to spend a considerable amount of money on Espresso, but then I started saving up when I started brewing at home.
Thanks to the manufacturers who heed our call, the Lowly Coffee Drinkers for finally producing those cheap Espresso Machines suitable for home use.
When I am outside and saw even small coffee shops serving illy, it is still very hard to resist. Well, that’s me, the Lowly Coffee Drinker.

The other feature I really like for this type of espresso machines is the brew cup.
You can only find this on a professional grade espresso machine which is of course not affordable for home use.
Most compact espresso machines are using cartridges with the same brand as the machine itself.
There are even brands that a particular cartridge will not fit on another model of the same brand. Wow !
How bad is this? Imagine having a particular lovely espresso machine, and here comes your coffee drinking guests and you realized you just run out of cartridges.
What makes it harder is when it is not available in your vicinity, or the cartridge they have is for another brand of an espresso machine.
Lovely. Hope they drink beer, and you have a stock of finger foods.
On this model of an espresso machine, you can use all brand of coffee.
If you run out of your grounds, you can even use that coffee on cartridges, just open it up and pour it into the brew cup. Very practical.
So save yourself some money by brewing at home.

- Kopi Luwak Sumatera Arabica Civet Coffee Roasted Whole Beans 100g
This coffee created a stir in the Western World the first time it was marketed commercially in the Western World.
This coffee is actually produced from coffee cherries eaten by the Asian Palm Civet.
The Civet digested only the fleshy pulp of the coffee and defecated the beans.
The farmers then collected the beans, washed, roasted and then ground it.
There is a distinct flavor to it; it is smoother maybe because of the lesser acidity it has than regular coffee beans.
I like it when I make a very strong coffee out of it as I will not taste the “sourness” I tasted with other coffee.
Will I make it my daily coffee? No way. It is too expensive for me.
This is good for those coffee lovers who are into exotic kinds of coffee. This coffee is rare and very expensive.

The Training Required Before You Can Start This Business
Before we go further, let’s talk about the requirements before you can sell coffee online and make money.
The first thing is to have your own website and the best way to do this is to join a community of online entrepreneurs willing to help new members.
Why a community? Is training not enough? Sometimes the information available in training is overwhelming for a beginner.
There will be top-notch training, Webinars and Video tutorials but this is not enough.
If the beginner is stuck, the only solution is to go back to the training, read again or watch the Video Tutorials again and again.
What if the beginner cannot absorb the information presented to them?
This point is the time where the community comes in.
The members are an amazing group of people with diverse experience in online business, and they are willing to help you step by step.
Afraid of asking dumb questions? Every member is used to it since most of us started with no knowledge of this kind of business, so to speak.
The questions not asked are the only stupid questions.

So you mean to say I can sell coffee or anything online by posting reviews on my website? How long will that website take to be successful and how is it going to help me make some money online? Who will read the reviews and isn’t posting everyday a review on my website a pain in the butt?
Hi Shrey!
You can make money by doing product reviews of coffee or just about anything on your website. Your success will depend on how good the contents of your product reviews. If you have good contents you will rank on the first page of google search and you will have traffic to your website. You should treat this like other businesses. If you don’t work on it then it will not be successful.

Hello Den. You have a great site!
I was looking at this post ‘selling coffee online’, and I got more out of this site than most of the courses I paid for online about selling and starting an internet business whatnot.
Ebay and amazon have made bazillions and I have heard people are starting and succeeding in this venture to make money.
Thanks Den, will be back to see more content from you!
Hi Amar,
I am glad that you like my site. Selling coffee online is very rewarding even if you just do it on the affiliate marketing side. The beauty of affiliate marketing is that you do not need to have an inventory of products. You just have to promote other people’s products.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Hello Den, I am amazed to see that coffee is being sold online now, useful to know that’s its the second most traded commodity after oil – I was not aware of that. It would appear then that everyone is selling and trading it. My only fear is that is would be totally flooded with competition and for someone starting out it would be difficult to compete, would you agree?
Hi David,
Competition is always there but there are so many online buyers now. The best way to start is to do it as an affiliate marketer. Your overhead cost is too low it is almost impossible not to make money from other person’s product. That is the beauty of affiliate marketing. You do not need your own product to sell. You just have to promote what other’s are selling.
Thanks for the comments,

This is very cool. I absolutely love coffee and I cannot go a day without it. Me and coffee were meant to be! I have got to try that Kopi Luwak. I can’t believe you said from coffee cherries then eaten by the Civet then the excrement beans are cleaned , roasted and made into coffee, definitely a must try. It has also been a long time Christmas wish to get that espresso maker. We can be friends. 🙂
Building a website seems pretty easy and Wealthy Affiliate seems pretty legit. It’s awesome that they have a free membership and teach all that they do. I’m tired of scams online so it’s like a whiff of fresh coffee to learn about WA.
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Kopi Luwak is for the guys who have a stomach for it. Selling coffee online is big business. Selling coffee thru affiliate marketing is one way to monetize a website.
Thanks for comments,
Den
I too love coffee! Except that sometimes I get a bit jumpy when I take too much.. Espresso machines are quite frankly amazing and I’d think I’d do a good job selling them online.
What you mention about wealthy affiliate really intruiges me. Apart from coffee, I’ve also got a passion in entertainment and I was wondering if it would be possible to make a full time income online selling music using wealthy affiliate?
Hi Cerulean,
Coffee is just one of the so many products you can sell online. Wealthy Affiliate will teach you how to sell other people’s products online so you don’t have to keep an inventory, worry about shipping, product returns and so many problems associated with selling your own product. This is a very good way to start an online business. Making money online is automated you can make money while you sleep.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Hi Den,
Great review, you clearly love affiliate marketing and is obviously why with all the things you get with it. But I do have a question for you.
How long did it take for you to start monetizing your first (or any other) website? I’ve been working on mine for quite a while now without results (however I feel that is just because I’m focusing on SEO). I feel like a comparison would be helpful for me to determine if I have been putting in enough work.
Cheers,
Lyle
Hi, Lyle,
I have seen positive results since I am into two months with Wealthy Affiliate. Now, eBay is paying my subscription and premium website tools. My commissions in Wealthy Affiliate goes directly to my pocket now. SEO is free traffic so it is very important.

i have always wondered if it was possible to make money online by selling coffee and tea
After reading this blog I’m going to try and sell coffee now that I know how to go about it and tips needed to start
Can you do a post on whether you can make money by selling tea online?
Hi Joshua,
With affiliate marketing, you can actually sell anything since you do not have to have the physical product. You are selling other people’s products.
Thanks for the comments,

I thought at first that it couldn’t really be as easy as you’re saying to sell coffee. I mean there’s the first step of buying product at a price where you can sell it at a price high enough to make a reasonable profit but low enough to be competitive. Than when I started to understand the affiliate marketing aspect I was just amazed. You can sell things without buying them first! Yes you don’t get all the profits but you also don’t need to make the initial purchase so any money made is money in your pockets 🙂 This is a great way to get started selling anything, including coffee 😀
Hi!
Yes affiliate marketing is a way you to sell just about anything online, not just coffee, without having any product to sell. You just promote the products of companies offering affiliate programs and you will get commissions.
Thank you for the comments,
Den
Hi,
Nowadays with the advance of technology, people are getting lazy and they actually put up anything they have online so I am not surprised that people are actually selling coffee! lol
The thing about selling food online though is the quality and trustworthiness. We need to show customers that this food is safe to consume so that they can trust us!
Jacob
Hi Jacob,
It is not the brewed coffee that is sold online. It is the ground coffee or the beans. The equipments like coffee maker is also sold online.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
In my experience, you can make money online selling pretty much anything.
Truth be told, it always struck me as a bit odd how people buy all of this stuff online instead of just walking up to the nearest store without waiting.
But they do, and that’s wonderful for us marketers!
I enjoyed your overview, and I hope to hear more from you soon.
Cheers, Vlad!
Hi Vlad,
Yes people now are buying everything online because of the online deals. Serves us all anyways.
