You can make money online from home

By Croos Manwell

Despite the financial problems at the moment you can make money online from home with your own business. You can control your own financial destiny and you don't need to be a technical wizard. If you can use a mouse, you can make money.

Thanks to the advance of the Internet the cost of starting and running a business from home has plummeted compared to a few years ago. Together with a plan of action the money will come. The plan includes these points

1. Website name - such as amazing.com

2. Hosting for your site (the address)

3. Words, pictures, videos on your website (content)

4. Something to sell

5 Get visitors to your site (traffic)

6 Way of collecting money for purchases

Once set up the money rolls in.

The days of expense and complication getting a domain name and hosting are well behind us now. Domain names cost from $1 upwards and hosting for less than $10 a month is widely available.

Your website name is like a house and the hosting is like the address. So don't let the different terms confuse you. It is far easier than it seems.

What to put on your website? Keep it fairly simple with words and a couple of pictures like a magazine page. If you hate the thought of writing relax. Free content is available from article directories or you can buy it for the price of a bagel.

Use your own pictures or find some copyright free images on the web (there are lots to choose from!). Videos can be easily found at youtube or video.google.com.

Initially put words and maybe the occasional picture on your site. Your skills will rapidly improve and soon videos will make an appearance.

You probably think you need to buy things to sell and that's too expensive, right? Well the good news is you do not have to buy anything. You can sell other peoples things and get a commission. Its called affiliate marketing and is the fastest way to make money online from home.

People visit your pages and want to buy the goods you are selling. They are redirected to the goods sales page and after they buy you get a slice of the price.

Getting traffic to your site is the key to a good income. Usually, traffic follows links and the quickest and cheapest way to get links is writing articles. They are picked up by many sites and published. You include a link to your site in the article, traffic increases and sales go up.

You can make money online from home using a simple plan and following each step. Its easier than ever and very little technical skill is needed. If you can point and click a mouse you can build your online business.
