There are a million supposed ways to make money from home with your own online business, but are all of these "opportunities" really effective, or are we wasting our time jumping from opportunity to opportunity. The truth is, there is no easy way to make money online, and if someone tells you that they have an easy way and that you'll be a millionaire in 30 days, turn and run the other way! The truth is, working an online business is just like running an offline business, and that is that you need to provide excellent products and/or excellent services, and coupled with plenty of hard work and effective advertising, then you have a real business.
With this said, it doesn't matter what you are selling, as long as it is something of quality, you can make a business of it. But once you have an idea of what you would like to sell to your customers, where are you to go from there? The next four techniques are the cornerstones of my online business, and they are the cornerstones of almost all of the most successful online businesses, so you should follow them and realize that if you want to start a real, sustainable online income from the comfort of your own home, you should take these very seriously.
Step #1 - Products and services
The best way to make the most money is to sell your very own products and services. It may be easier to sell affiliate products or services, but you won't have any control over these products, and you have to give up a hefty chunk of the commission, which is something you wouldn't have to do with your own products. Things like ebooks, audio/video courses, and consulting are all great products that you can create in very little time and sell for several hundred dollars.
Step #2 - Build traffic
Traffic simply means getting people to your website/business. There are many ways to drive traffic to your website, the free techniques that require some work are often the most effective means of building traffic, and tend to bring in the highest quality of traffic.
Step #3 - Build a list
A list of names and email addresses of people who have shown interest in your products is an essential component of building a successful online business. You can build a list by driving people to a squeeze page and offering them a free gift in exchange for their name and email address. After they are added to your list, you can send emails offering products and services.
Step #4 - Building relationships
This means building a relationship with each person who joins your list. By creating a connection with the people on your list, you can build trust and rapport, which increases the likelihood that someone will purchase your services.
