Working at home has been a dream of many that goes back many years.
Staying at home and enjoying watching the kids grow up is a goal worth
fighting for. Let's take a look into making a living or part time
living from the comfort of your home. You owe it to yourself to gain
the freedom a home business can offer. In the past, there have
been multi-level marketing plans to sell everything from vitamins to
soap. There have been mail order catalog opportunities. Many tried
buying and selling real estate. Each of these opportunities made many
people a lot of money, but each of them also cost many people a lot of
money. More people have spent money than have made money in every
business venture. The problem is many inexperienced people get into
moneymaking schemes after attending a meeting somewhere. The offer may
be legitimate, but most people fail in business. According to the
US Small Business Administration, over 50% of small businesses fail in
the first year and 95% fail with the first five years. That is a scary
statistic. This means that the average business is doomed to fail
from the beginning. It also means that you will lose a lot of money if
you start a business. WOW! No wonder you are leery about putting up
your hard-earned cash for what is statically a crapshoot, a roll of the
dice. So, what is the answer for the average person who does not
want to lose their savings and even their home investing in a business?
Start building a "digital business" online. Create a website that
generates its income without you needing to invest in inventory or even
lease a building to house your business. Then create two or ten more
websites generating income for you. You may not know how to
create a website today. It is an easily learned skill. There is
software you can buy or download free that will help you. There are
tutorials on making a website profitable. You can do this. Once
you have a website online you can put other people's advertising on
your site and be paid when someone buys one of their products. If this
was my baby toys webpage and I mentioned a great baby toy with a link
to my advertiser's toy page you might go there and buy the toy. If you
did, I would get a commission. You could also put ads on your
pages that only require someone to click on the ad for you to be paid.
Again, if you were on my baby toy page and an ad talks about a toy. You
click on the ad to go see it and I am paid for you clicking on the ad.
The advertiser feels their sales page is compelling enough for them to
sell enough of that toy to cover their cost of the clicks that got you
there. Some advertisers do not require you to buy the product
when you click on an ad, but I will not be paid unless you fill out
their application. This is usually seen on sites like insurance sites
or loan application sites. You do not have to get a policy or take out
a loan for me to be paid. When you fill out the form, I qualify for my
commission for sending you to the advertiser. These are typically
the ways a beginning website entrepreneur starts generating income on
the Internet. Once you understand that part of internet marketing, you
may move on to selling your own digital products. A digital
product is one that can be downloaded from your website. You can sell
your own ebook you wrote yourself or an ebook you purchased and have
the rights to sell online. If you are a programmer, you can sell
you own computer program from your site. You could also sell someone
else's program that you purchased the rights to sell. Notice that
not all of the above ideas require you to invest in a lot of inventory.
Even the products are free if you create them yourself. Not everything
you are doing so far requires a large investment of your hard earned
money. It does require a large investment of your time. All of
the material you need to create a website can be found free online if
you do not want to purchase some popular program. Your only expense
SHOULD be a domain of your own, such as yourdomain.com. You can get
free hosting from various places but for moneymaking venture, this is
not advised. For a small investment, you too can be PRESIDENT OF
YOUR OWN COMPANY. Maybe the statistics are the same for success online
as they are in other businesses, but this is a chance to find out
without losing the farm doing it.
