Make Extra Money From Home

Lets face it, everyone needs some extra money. Most people have more months left than money. The trend to make extra money from home is fast becoming the favorite American past time. The economy is in a rut and the cost of living is going up faster than ever. The trick is finding a business that you can run from your home that actually produces an income and does not cost you money. You are in this to make money not lose money. Most Biz-ops end up costing you money than making money. Here's a business that works and is proven to make extra money from home.

The Internet, magazines, newspapers and T.V. commercials are packed with ads trying to sell you a business in a box. They sell you a $39.95 information package and only give you part of the information. They then try to up-sell you to their $1000 or $2000 "premium how-to product" with consulting and more detailed information. But do you need all this hype and fluff to make extra money from home? Probably not. In most cases you already have the necessary skills to accomplish this task.

It is very possible to start a business with your computer and make extra money from home for less than $100. The best part is you can be generating an income within a few days and not months or years like most businesses. The Internet has leveled the playing field and has made the world a much smaller place. It is very possible to start an International business right from your kitchen table with a computer. All you need is a product that can be sold digitally, a payment processor that can take payment from any currency and deliver the product via the Internet.

This sounds complicated but it isn't. You don't even need to write your own e-book. You can start by marketing someone else's. Clickbank.com can provide all of this for free! You can join for free, get an affiliate account for free, get a free merchant account, sell other peoples products and make as much as 75% commission on each sale. I sell one product that isn't even mine and it makes me over $45 for each sale. I sell 2-3 of these a day. Three sales a day at $45 is $50,000 a year in revenue. The great part is my advertising expense is less than 10% of this revenue so I make over $45,000 a year from this one simple product. Now try doing this with three different products. Then just copy your success and do it multiple times. Now you are making a nice six figure income for doing minimal work!

Once you Join Clickbank you will log in to your back office. This is where you can search the "marketplace" and pick a product to sell. You will then use your Clickbank "Nickname" to build links for that product. It's very easy once you login and get to know your back office. Building links with your specific "Nickname" ensures that you get credit for the sale when the customer clicks on your link and buys. Advertising your link in the right market is paramount. You want to write ads and place your ad in areas where people who would be interested in your product will look. You want the world to be your customer. When you place an ad online in most cases it will go globally not locally. So you want to capture as many customers as possible. Target your ads to the right customers.

For example if you place a classified ad at "USFreeAds.com" and you are selling a digital e-book on "how to grow a bonsai tree" you want to place your ad in their "horticulture" or "plant" section not their "auto classifieds". You want to target your ideal customer who may want to learn how to grow a bonsai tree. Those people who are looking in that section of the USFreeAds.com classifieds will be more targeted than people looking for a car. There a many ways to promote your products online and off. The Internet is just one way. Offline ads and promotions can sometime produce much better results. Be open to learning different methods of driving people to your website.

To make extra money from home takes focus and persistence. Stick to one product or service; learn as much as you can about what others are doing to promote their products to make money. Eventually you will see success. The Internet changes very fast and new advertising methods are always being invented and discovered. New products hit the marketplace every minute and you have to be on-top of the competition. Become a sponge for information and you will succeed.
