For various reasons, more and more people are warming to the idea of an Internet-based home business. Job stress (including traffic), losing a job and having a miserable or poor-paying job can be big motivators. So what types of things can you do online to earn extra money, and where do you even start?
Here's a few suggestions:
1. Offer freelance work or consulting on a topic that you are very knowledgeable about or skilled at. You can create an information product to market, or even to give away as a reward for those who subscribe to your mailing list.
2. Selling affiliate products is a great way to start. Often times people can do well online without a product of their own. Selling other people's products and services for commission fees is a great business model. These can be virtually anything under the sun - from pet supplies to car parts. Or they can be 'virtual' products such as audio/video items, software, PDF's, etc.
3. Network marketing is HUGE online. You don't need to bother your family and friends anymore like you did in the 20th century. With virtual/software products, you don't have to stock your garage with cartons of juice from the South Pacific either. You can get started with super cheap programs like 3x6surf or more elaborate, scalable ones like Global NPN. The possibilities are endless!
Like any business, all of the above requires a plan, hard work and real dedication. However, your new online career has the potential to reward you with the freedom, flexibility and extra income that makes it all worthwhile. Good luck!
