Everyone knows what brokering
means in the real world; on the Internet it means the same thing. Essentially,
you don’t have a product of your own here, but you have a product that belongs
to someone else which you promote. You find customers for it and you get paid
commission for effectuating the sale. The seller pays you the commission, which
could be moderated through a site.
There are many ways in which
brokering happens. The commonest route is through the middleperson approach.
You don’t own the product, but you just promote it and bring about the sale.
Usually, when you are the middleperson, you earn commissions from the buyer and
the seller both. But the main thing is that the sale has to work out to the
very end. It has to close. Failed sales don’t pay you anything for your
efforts.
The joint venture partner
brokering is another subset within this main theme. Here you bring about joint
venture collaborations between different marketers. These collaborations are
the spine of most online businesses. People come together to make up for what
they lack. If you become instrumental in getting the right people to partner with
each other, there are various ways in which you can benefit. You can get paid
for your services or you can actually get a share of the business that is to
happen.
Another type of brokering is
service brokering. Here you find the right service people to carry out
particular services for people who need them. You could find them through
online freelance sites or you could approach some people directly.
Here are some sites where you
could learn more about brokering and even join into the opportunities.

Brokering may not bring you a
large amount of income. There is a lot of networking involved and you need to
have some contacts, or at least put in the time to build contacts. However, it
is a good opportunity – and a moneymaking one too – if you are able to devote
the time and the effort for it.
