5 ways to make money from home

If you are just starting or even if you have been looking for a while, or stuck in paralysed mode then here are the 5 ways to make money from home. But first

Warnings

Don’t get caught up in get rich quick schemes they don’t work and never will. Trust me i have been there tried it failed and lost money.

And don’t try to do the same to other gullible people wanting fast money i don’t me this in a condescending way after all i was one. It  just sounds so wonderful  to think that you just need to do this and you will be rich right we all like that idea.

You will be much more successful if you are honest, give value and help others solve problems, whether that is with your own products, affiliate products or network marketing.

Warning Number Two

You need to just pick one stay with it, make it successful or give it a reasonable time to mature and see the results. You will never be successful if you jump around doing a bit here and there. Decide how much time you can devote to one area and stick with it.

Warning Number Three

Don’t give up your day job just yet work on your business in your spare time you still need to earn money and most likely finance your new venture. Many people have an idea think it is great leave their place of work only to find it has taken longer and struggle or never makes any money or they just give up. remember any business will take time to mature and see rewards.

Ok enough about the warnings you get the picture. Here is a quick overview of the 5 ways to make money from home

1. Affiliate Marketing  — selling other people’s products

How this is probably the easiest way to start just go to places like clickbank, Commission Junction and other such affiliate  sites and sign up costs nothing search products decide what products you would like to sell and that is it. Ok there is more to it then that but that is basically it.

Do’s  get a website to promote the products preferably promote similar products so that the web site is related, this is the best way to sell your affiliate products you can set up one page websites and sell individual  products or sell a number of similar products from one website. Remember that new websites take time to get noticed, ranked, and get traffic.  Alternatively you can buy an existing web site that is for sale that you can use.  All business ventures take time so be prepared for this.

Don’t use PPC or any high paid advertising to get your affiliate products out the competition is fierce and can cost a lot of money more than you will receive, later you can choose this method. Lear more on affiliate marketing here

2.  Network Marketing——Building organisation by way of recruiting others to do the same

That is what a network marketing is. A company that uses outside help to promote that companies products. You get commission on selling the product and introducing others to sell on behalf of the company too.

Most people want to recruit and get paid by way of a compensation plan the more you recruit the more you get paid sounds easy right.

But like most businesses it takes time and effort to convince others that this cauld be for you, not everyone agrees that network marketing is a good business and can be very sceptical with this type of business.

Joining a network marketing company will cost you, some a monthly on going fee others with a one time fee and or monthly fee

Finding a good Network Marketing company can be hard you can get a good product with a grap compensation fee or vice versa

Do’s Find a business that sells good products has a good compensation package and has in-house training on how to promote.  Find a good up line or sponsor the one that recruited you, so you can keep in contact each person needs to be in touch it is all about building a team so be a team.

Don’t Just join a company on a say so research the company talk to the up line buy one of their products or try it out.

At this point i could tell you about mine but i am not going to because this is pitching not the way to do business. But i am going to give you more information with my other Network Marketing posts here if yo want to know more about this type of business.

3.  Product Creation or re-brand products

Creating your own product you probably asking how do I do that. Well you find something you know about could be a hobby or your work  or even someone else that has knowledge on a subject people are searching for, then you can interview and record it load onto an audio cd and sell it. Or if your own product could also be an audio, video or e-book that you use to sell. Or you can re-brand another persons product that has given you permission to do so and sell as your own

Do’s research to make sure that there enough searches or people interested in the product before you create it or do a product launch, as to when this product will be available and see the response you get as to whether this may or may not be worth doing.

Don’t Take to long on your first product get it out quick see if it sells then refine it or move onto another product and if you have done a product launch with interested parties make sure you get it out quickly once you know it is viable.

To know more about product creation read my post create your own products review my friend Marlon who trained me on product creation. He has a great product on how to create your own info products not expensive too ideal for someone who wants to take his route go here for product creation there is something nice about creating your own products it is yours isnt that great and then if successful you can get affiliates to sell it for you too.

4. Selling Adsense and advertising

Ok this one is something that i have not personally applied but i will do. How this works is you have to have a website fully optimized important for search engine optimization (SEO) because you need traffic and lots of it to make it pay. Why well Adsense are those little ads you see on websites and you tube videos when someone clicks on the ad you get paid that is why you need a lot of traffic.

Selling advertising space is growing this again works well with high volumes of traffic but not so important because the advertiser is going to pay you for some space on your website isnt that cool and every month you will be paid for that space that has been used.

But the advertiser will want to see a good amount of traffic to your website a good page rank possibly and a site that of course is relevent to the ad although i have seen ads placed on sites that are nothing to do with the ad. You can also use your site for back links and postings to get paid too. again no posts on this subject but will have soon.

Do’s get a site try to get it fully optimized and relevent to the ads google Adsense will do this automatically again you could pay out for a site that is for sale that will be ideal for this purpose. As soon as you have your site get content on it fast and keep producing relative and valuable content relative to the site name and description

Don’t do this unless you are prepared to learn SEO or employ someone to fully optimise and spend time writing content or employing others to do so.

5.     Home based franchise business

Never done it unlikely too but never the less is a viable business likely to cost you a bit like any franchise you are buying into a product or company that has already done the work and has everything in place and you are part of the company helping to make it grow profits a % of your profits will go back to the company.

Reduces the risk of starting your own home based business with a work from home franchise. Follows a proven work at home concept.

There are a  large number of choices to find the right niche and company that you can apply too.

As i said you will likely have to invest a large some of money to start the franchise so if you go down this route you will have to be dedicated and structured and put a lot of time into the business, probably not a part-time start like the others.

Is a home business still a viable option absolutely all though there is of course a lot of competition, but the internet is a global source of new potential customers. The amount of people searching the internet is increasing with more and more people buying and looking for another income stream. some say it could get to the point of saturation and many markets are extremely difficult to compete in.

But as long as you research first before you jump in then a home business is still very much a viable option. There are many advantages to a home business freedom, low cost, more time with loved ones, and the ability to work any where you like providing you have an internet access. But even then there are many things in your business you can do while not online.
With countless amounts of possible markets and niches, providing your business has the comerciabilty and the desire to make it succeed a home business is very much the future for the entrepreneur.

Your first plan of action for your home based business is get into the right mind set before your start. This article may seem to centre around the Philosophy of concepts, but it has a great bearing on your success to achieve your dreams desires and wants for your future.

The importance of really believing in your subconscious mind the desire to achieve and the faith that you will need  is so relevant, not just in business but in all that you want from your life.

I recommend a book that shows you and delivers to you the 13 steps to achieving your desires and goals, a book that is probably the greatest business book of all time (Thing and grow rich by Nepoleon Hill a must read.

Once your mind is set to truly believe your success. You will want to have a plan of how you are going to accomplish this

Your plan must be based on your desire to achieve your goals it must have purpose, conviction and persistence to keep going even when times seem hard and difficult, because a quitter never wins and winner never quits remember this always and you will win.

Your plan should be based on your research your interest and the chosen market for your business.

You will need to have sufficient knowledge of your product or service in order to give your market enough valuable information to arouse their interest in what you have to offer.

You will need to have an outline of how you are going to market your product or service. Marketing will always have a cost although it may be small depending on how you market, you will still need to have a budget that you can realistically afford.

You will need to have an amount of time that you can dedicate to your business that you can keep too.

A diary of what you have done and achieved I would suggest an on and offline diary for your notes

A list of what you need so that you can take action immediately never wait till you feel the time is right get started straight away. Always keep with you a pen and  pad to write down any inspirations that come into your mind. They will be lost if you try to remember them later.

If you feel you need training in certain aspects of your marketing then don’t ignore it  make sure you get that training it will not only save you a lot of money but lots of time too.

I will talk about the importance of marketing in another article.

Decide whether you want to work as a team or on your own there are great benefits with working in a team and my next article on joint ventures will cover this very subject.

It is important to be as organised as possible so that you get the tasks for the day done and don’t deviate, as with the computer it so easy to do. You only really need to check your emails once a day unless you are waiting for something that is in need of urgent attention.

If you hit a roadblock or plans that you made are not happening don’t give up.

Before Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamb that would be powered by electricity he failed on countless number of times but he kept going until his dream was met and become one of the greatest inventors of all time. The Write Brothers dreamed of a machine that would fly through the air.  Do you think it happened for them straight away no.

Everyone that has had a dream has had failures but they never quit they had desire, faith,  persistence and  belief they would accomplish there dream and won.

When thinking about a home based business it can feel exciting and daunting, but what ever your feeling it is important to know where you are going to begin. Now this might sound obvious but you want to be as clear as you can before you start.

Have you thought about the:

• Type of business that interests you
• Do you want to start slow or jump straight in
• How much money do you have to spend
• How many hours do have to devote to the new business
• Have you researched the niche for interest relating to the business

This list could go on for ever and i don’t want to put you off or bore you to death, but i must stress the importance of where to start is crucial in the beginning to stop you chasing around  getting no where and avoiding  to much hype which lose money and time.

So here are my top 13 things to do before you start

1. Write down a list of markets that might interest you if you don’t know already(brainstorm)
2. Find out the interest in this market amount of people searching. you can use google for this
3. Look at the amount of competition there is in this market(competition is a good thing) but not to much?
4. How long has this business be running is it new or has it been in operation for a while
5. Look at the page rank zero is poor and 10 is excellent this simply means the amount of times this has been searched by people and it’s popularity.
   
6. check out the Alexa tools for trends in how it is performing type in the url the website
7. Does the business allow for individuality and give support, help desk and phone No
8. Does the business come with guarantees if you not happy money back
9. If you came by the site as a customer does the site inspire you or leave you flat
10. Read all the terms and conditions of what the business offers and expects the clauses
11. What is the business actually selling what are the benefits to a client or customer
12. What are the main benefits for you(write them down and study them)

Resource links at the bottom of  this article  for the above

When researching take your time it is very important that you gather all the information to begin with

Once you discover a business with all the ticks and looks a good proposition you will want to try and contact the person who’s link  got you to the site, or support system and write down all the relevant questions you might be concerned with.

Most businesses you join online have a sponsor or upline it is important you feel comfortable with them and can work with them where they will give you support and guidance,  because ultimately they will be the main link in the chain to help make it successful for you. Having a upline that you feel happy with and can work with will make it much easier to work along side.

This might sound like a lot of work and research but it will help  avoid the scams and join a company that offers real value, a sound business that with some work will give you enjoyment and a good income.
