There are many work from home businesses to choose from nowadays and it is important to select one that will work for you now and in the long term. It is easy to get caught up in trying to make a quick buck. The reality is that any legitimate work from home business requires a commitment to learn the skills necessary to succeed and also requires a bit of determination as you are bound to hit some obstacles along the way.
What is the best legitimate work from home business? Well, I feel that for people that are new to making money from the internet, the best opportunity is to promote affiliate programs. Affiliate programs give you the opportunity to promote other people’s product and in return you receive a commission. There are a large number of affiliate programs out there and it can be a bit confusing as to where to start.
You want to look for affiliate programs that provide large commissions and are products that have a large market so there are plenty of buyers for your affiliate products. There is no point promoting something people are not willing to pay money for. Clickbank is one of my favorite places to look for affiliate programs as they specialize in digital products and the commissions are generally very good.
Since Clickbank has only digital products, the publishers of these products can offer high commissions since it costs very little to produce these kinds of products. I recommend sticking with the health/fitness and internet marketing categories to start with since they have tons of buyers so as long as you advertise appropriately you should be able to make a good number of sales. There is a lot of money to be made with affiliate promotion so stick with and learn whatever you can. Promote a lot of different products at once that way you will get more people seeing your products and thus you have a greater potential to make money.
There are a number of ways to promote your products, you can use pay per click advertising such as Google adwords, you can use free classifieds if you are on a tight budget, you can even use social bookmarking services to get the word out about your product. Pay per click can be a great way to get started in promoting these as you can get traffic quickly and relatively cheaply if you know what you are doing. Remember to always keep track of your advertising and do not spend more than you can afford.
