If you are hoping to make money from home, there has never been a better opportunity then today with the explosion of the internet.
These businesses are plentiful and very easy to start, they require minimal start-up capital, and have the incredible advantage of being able to be run from anywhere in the world where an internet connection can be found.
The only requirements are a computer, a high-speed internet connection and the desire and commitment to succeed.
In one of the last surveys completed there are currently millions of people worldwide making their livings from home, the vast majority from eBay. Many are making their living working as an affiliate selling other peoples products or services pocketing incredible six figure commission checks. In addition, the remaining people have developed and are marketing their own personal software or informational products.
Your short cut to online riches begins with one important requirement... knowing where you are hoping to end up. The most common reason so many people new to home business fail is they start without knowing where they hope to finish. Have you ever left on a trip without knowing where you destination is suppose to be?
The first decision you must make prior to opening your business is to determine whether you are going to sell Physical or Informational products.
A Physical product is anything you can touch and feel, like clothes, baby toys, furniture, or cosmetics.
Informational Products are "How-To" pieces, like training videos, audio books, e-books, newsletters, etc.
The big downside to the home businessperson and Physical products is the fact the products must be manufactured, shipped, inventoried, and stored... all resulting in additional expenses, decreasing profit margins.
Building a home business around Physical products can be difficult and not nearly as profitable in the early phases. The start-up expenses can be staggering, purchasing inventory, securing storage locations, and the infrastructure to inventory, ship and handle product returns.
If you are serious about selling Physical goods, one method to consider in your early stages is to utilize a "Drop Shipper" which eliminates the need to purchase, inventory, and ship products.
Profit margins on Physical products are growing smaller with the growth of the internet. Have you every price compared the price of something you where planning to purchase? If I want to by a new camcorder, I can easily do a Google search and have 40 comparable prices within seconds.
Information products on the other hand have an incredibly high profit margin, and the chances of making money for initial capital investment are great. It is very easy to find affiliate products paying between 50% - 75% commission per sale and if you are promoting your own product, it is easy to have a 90% - 95% profit margin potential. The other advantage, it is often quite difficult to price compare informational products.
Bottom line every successful Online Internet Entrepreneur I know that is making serious money online is selling Informational products. That is a strong indicator for my home business success.
Now that you have made the decision on what you are going to sell, now we need to sit down and map out our trip. Here is your next question, are you going to sell other peoples information product as an Affiliate for a commission, or are you going to sell your own product?
There are four factors for guaranteeing online success. You need your product, the technology to run your online business, generating traffic to your site(s), and converting the traffic into paying customers. Bring these four elements together, and you will be virtually guaranteed online success.
Your shortcut to online riches will be shortened even further if you can minimize what you need to learn to get started. Trying to become an expert in four fields can be overwhelming at best.
The quickest way to start making money online is selling other peoples information products as an affiliate, earning a residual commission for each sale made, By initially marketing a proven product you can quickly monetize your business during your initial learning period, and eliminate the technology product.
The web technology required to sell Affiliate products is much simpler and easier to set up than a shopping cart website (Sales letters are prepared, websites are live and active, and merchant accounts to process orders are already functional).
By initially selling Affiliate products, it allows you to mater the critical topic of converting customer traffic into money.
By starting your home business as an Affiliate you are able to earn some big commission checks right from day one. This puts you in the wonderful position of "Earning while You Learn" the basics of driving traffic to your website and converting visitors into paying customers.
After you have made some money selling Affiliate products, proving to yourself that you have what it takes to succeed online, you can now develop and market your own personal Information Produce.
Your shortcut to online riches starts with selling other peoples Affiliate Information products, learning the required skills to make money online. You can then develop your own products and get others to promote it working as Affiliates for you making millions like the Gurus.

6 More Free Steps to Making Money Online
6 more free steps to making money online
Copyright © 2007 Darren Power
If you read my previous article you will know that the goal of these articles is to teach you ways to get started making money online without having to spend any money.
This is the second in the series and this time we deal with having your own blog. There are endless ways of making money once you have traffic, and your blog will get you traffic. The income we will be looking at today will come from Google Adsense.
There are multiple benefits to having a blog including the low cost (or no cost), the resources that will help you get traffic to your blog and the fact that you can provide your blog as an RSS feed. An RSS feed will allow readers to automatically receive your updates into their RSS reader.
Let's get started with our 6 steps.
1. Set up your blog. You will need to decide what you are going to blog about. You should decide on a theme and name your blog appropriately.
There are a number of free ways to set up a blog & to have it hosted for free. We will go with Blogger.com for our first blog.
Blogger will allow you to set up a blog for free they will host it for free and they will ping search engines every time you update, meaning you will get spidered & found.
Visit blogger.com & click the button on the front page labelled 'create your blog now' then follow the step by step instructions that Blogger provide.
Some key settings you will want to get right are:
I) 'Host your blog at Blogger' = Yes
II) 'Add your blog to our listings' = Yes
III) 'Ping Weblogs.com' = Yes
IV) 'Publish Site Feed' = Yes
2. Write some content. Before we move any further there has to be some information on the site & that means that you have to make some entries. You can write some of these entries yourself & some can be quotes from sites of interest to your reader that you can post using the Google Toolbar.
You can download the Google toolbar for free at toolbar.google.com. The toolbar includes a Blogger button. When you visit a site that has something of interest to your readers you can highlight the appropriate text & click the Blogger button. The content will then be added to your blog along with a link back to the site.
3. Once you have some content eg a weeks worth of blogging with 1 or 2 entries for everyday, you can apply for an adsense account. When you sign in to Blogger you will see an invitation to join Adsense. Use this link and apply for an account.
You can find out all about Adsense on the Adsense page but basically you get Google ads on your site & get paid if your visitor clicks them.
Google will decide what adverts show on your site based on the content it finds within.
You need to be aware that Google will decline your application if your site is not considered to have content. Nobody outside of Google knows the precise rules on this.
Once you have been accepted you can get some javascript from Google to add to you site. Copy this & then log in to Blogger.
Once you have logged into your blog you will see that one of the tabs across the top of the screen is labelled 'Template'. Click this. You will need to know a little bit of HTML to help find the right location to paste your Google code. But with a little experimentation you will find the right place for you. See the resource box at the end of this article for more help.
I would suggest that the ads need to be seen when the site loads but should not be too obvious or dominate your site.
4. Write some more content. Try and keep your content coming at regular intervals as a number of directories will check on your site at regular intervals & the smarter ones will visit on a schedule based on your update schedule. They will probably determine this in the hours after you first submit to them. Which is what we will do next.
5. Submit your site to Blog & RSS directories. Because you are hosting at Blogger, Weblogs.com will already be notified when you update your blog. (That means that every time you make a new entry they are automatically notified) You will need to manually submit to the various other directories some of which will require a link on your site to theirs.
You can add these links to your template below your Blogger logo. For a list of directories to get you started visit www.themoneyseed.com/rss
6. Keep writing interesting content. Ideally you want people to come back again and again. As with customers its harder to get a new visitor than to keep existing visitors. So make it interesting, in fact make it so interesting that they can't help but tell all their friends about it also.
As with most free ways to make money this will take time to get going, but if you can build a following you will make money.
