Consider starting internet home based businesses if you're
looking to work from home and generate a full-time income. Internet
businesses are low-cost and a low-risk to set-up, can be easily tested
and tweaked as you go along, and, with a bit of savvy and persistence,
can generate a steady source of passive income. Some would say internet
home based businesses are the perfect business opportunity. In this
article we're going to explore my top 3 best money making online
businesses.
1. Niche Websites
Niche websites are small sites (5-7 pages) that serve a specific niche and have a specific market. For example, caring for betta fish, slowing down hair loss or losing weight after having a baby. They are targeted to solve a specific problem, and are created to attract organic traffic from the search engines (so you don't need to pay for traffic).
To create a niche site, first find a small marketplace, a "niche", where people have a specific problem or want to know how to do something, let's say they want to build a chicken coop for their chickens. Pick a topic that you know something about or are interested in, or you know someone who knows a lot about that area, or you pay someone who knows everything about that to create a useful information product for you. Then you sell that information into your market place. Or, promote relevant affiliate products to them.
But no-one can tell you what your niche, or product is. You have to find that. That is part of your learning, part of your journey. They key is to find something that gives more value than you charge for it. That is a truly unique product that will produce profit.
And when you find the niches that make money and are constant in your profits, you can tell/sell others how to do the same. You can teach them the methods but not the 'product'. That's why some make money and some don't. The key is clearly identify and a niche and to provide value. This is the difference to those that make money online and those that don't.
2. Publish an eBook - Become an Infopreneur
An eBook is a relatively quick and easy way to stand out from the crowd and establish yourself as an expert in the niche you're in. An eBook establishes your credibility and helps to point the spotlight on your personal brand. This in turn will increase interest in what you're doing and attract traffic to your site. You can then sell your eBook and related products.
An eBook is a great income generator and, if you have selected your niche carefully, will make you money from day one, even with a small list and even as you are building up traffic to your site.
How Else Can You Make Money With An Ebook?
As well as selling your eBook directly through your site, you can offer it through affiliate programs such as ClickBank. Build your marketing army and get others to sell your book for you.
You can also sell your eBook through Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online booksellers to increase your exposure in the market.
How much you make from sales of your eBook depends on a number of things, including the niche you're in, the demand for the type of information you're providing, how well you execute your marketing campaign, and how well you craft your eBook.
Ebook Publishing - A Truly Passive Income Business
In addition to the recognition, the extra income, and the long-lasting relationships you'll build with your customers, one of the major benefits of publishing and selling an eBook online is that it creates a passive income business which allows you to work from home.
Because the eBook business is automated, you only have to do the upfront work of producing the book once and then passively earn the income for years to come. You don't need to be present for a transaction to take place. A customer can order your eBook and have it delivered instantly to their inbox without you having to do anything. The payments are processed through PayPal or ClickBank so you'll have the joy of waking up in the morning and finding sales confirmations in your inbox.
3. Blogging
If you're passionate about your topic then blogging is a great way to make money from internet home based businesses.
The key to successful blogging is consistency, providing value and authenticity (look at all the most successful blogs and you'll see what I mean). That's why it's important to really love your topic and feel that you can read and write about it for years to come. Blogging isn't a "get rich quick" business but it's a very satisfying lifestyle business, than you can work on in between other commitments, and can be very profitable if you get it right.
How to monetize (make money from) your blog?
Aim to write a blog that is so 'informative' or 'attractive' to your readers that you can sell advertising to companies that like your readership. Or sell the blog, or sell 'information' about how you wrote a successful blog. Learn to fish and then teach others to do the same.
Advertising Revenue
You can also earn money on your blog with affiliating with advertising networks such as Google AdSense, Adbrite and Chitika.
To get started, sign up for an account with your chosen advertising network and then paste their code into your blog to start running ads.
You earn two ways here; by click throughs and page impressions. Click throughs are the number of times people click the ads installed on your site or blog. Impressions are reckoned by way of the number of times the ads is loaded on your sites.
Sponsored Posts
Earn by Sponsored Posts Some advertisers will pay you or "sponsor" you to write specific posts promoting their products, services or websites. The sponsored posts may contain links to the advertiser's websites with the relevant keyword and with the required number of words. To earn money from sponsored reviews enroll your blog sites with sites such as PayPerPost, PayU2Blog, Blog4Reviews and SponsoredReviews.
Affiliate Income
Promote affiliate products from ClickBank and Commission Junction to your readers through your blog. Rather than using your blog as a selling tool set up an auto-responder series and alternate affiliate promotional links with valuable content and news. Offer value to your readers and you have a list of loyal readers who are happy to buy from you.
