Work
at Home - Stay at Home
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.
