One can also promote or market other people's products and services in internet business. A lot of companies have resorted to using other private agents and freelancers in the process of marketing their service and products on the net.

It is better for companies to outsource some of these tasks than to rely on permanent employees who have to be paid lots of money in salaries and benefits.
