More than most kinds of technology, the internet has made home-based business a real possibility. Rarely is this easy despite bold promises in sales language. But it is possible. What I am going to outline is primarily affiliate marketing online, though I will also broaden it into a few related areas. I. Find stuff that moves First, we start not with a product or service idea (stuff), but with researching a market of hungry buyers. This means people are already buying what you are thinking of selling. Of course that means competition with other businesses, and I'd recommend finding a market that is not too competitive, but that still has a track record of buyers. New ideas and products may be a hit, but you don't want to get stuck with an inventory or months or years of development when at the end of the day, nobody wants to buy your stuff however well you sold yourself on the notion that people want what you made. By the way, the same principle applies to choosing a network marketing business. Find out if there is a market for the product or service before falling in love with the products or services. A few places to look for products that sell well are Amazon, eBay, shopping.com (site index), and ClickBank.com (marketplace). Where to start choosing? Write down three to five areas that interest you--something for which you have a passion, something related to your hobby or career or educational background or experience. If you know something about a market, you're already ahead. II. Find your way to move the stuff Second, find a way to sell the product or service. OK, so maybe I skipped a step or two in procedure, but my point is that finding a way to sell a product or service is almost more important than having one to sell. Without sales, there's no profit. And with affiliate marketing, one can become an affiliate of very many types of existing products and services. One can sign up as an affiliate by clicking on the "affiliates" link at the bottom of many websites or one can find lists of sites that use affiliates in marketing their products on sites designed to connect affiliates with product manufacturers and service providers. A few of the latter such sites are ClickBank (already mentioned), cj, linkshare, shareasale, and wolfstormmedia.
A. Keywords So as to finding a way to sell online, think of two things: targeted traffic to a website and using the right keywords. The two work hand-in-glove. Keywords are the words people type into a search engine like Google in order to find something. Use, for example, the Google AdWords Keyword Tool to find out how often a particular keyword phrase is typed into the Google search engine in particular per month...plus other things like potentially related keywords. Then use the best keywords in titles, headlines, profiles, descriptions, your domain name, tags, image alternate tags, and meta tags areas wherever possible to tell the search engine what the contents of your website or blog material is. Of course the keywords need to be relevant to the product or service you are offering. B. Targeted traffic In other words, as market/product/service choice is a basis for keyword choice, so keyword use is a basis for targeted traffic. Targeted traffic means viewers who are looking for online content that expands on the keywords typed into the search engines. How one increases traffic to one's site is a long story, with many possible methods available, but suffice it here to say that increasing traffic is desirable if it is targeted. The more targeted the traffic, the more likely that viewers will take whatever action you desire... such as buying a product from a company with which one is affiliated. III. Build your online hub Your website or blog (or main website or blog) is the equivalent to a brick-and-mortar store offline. It is where you want the traffic to come. A website/blog is not the last thing on the to-do list when building a home income profits system, but in order of importance, it comes after one has chosen a market/product/service and done the keyword ground work, including finding a decent and available and relevant domain name. Of course if you are offering a freelance service online, you may be able to get away with only a profile and description on sites that connect those looking for work with those looking to pay someone else for work (e.g., Odesk, writejob, Fiverr, and even Craigslist.org). And in some cases, one may be able to make affiliate sales or the sale of one's own product without one's own website or with a free website (e.g., eBay), but those opportunities are not without difficulties. Usually one's online business system works best when one owns and controls one's own hub.
