The easiest way that to earn a substantial online income is through Affiliate Marketing.

You will simply be promoting other peoples products. This is an ideal work from home opportunity, which can be highly lucrative. Plenty of help is available.

How will you promote other peoples products? By writing articles, posting blogs, posting on forums etc. Anyone who you send to the merchants site might buy their product, sign up for their course, book their flight etc. You will then receive commission from the merchant.

Sounds easy, but you do need to study what you are doing and collect as much information as you can along the way. There is a lot of information and help available online.. So how does someone make money online through Affiliate Marketing?

1. Find your market. Especially, find a niche market. This is the term given to products that are in demand, but have little supply competition.

2. Once you find a niche, sign up with an Affiliate Agent. Commission Junction, Webgains and Clickbank are recommended. From these you can obtain individual personalized links to the products.

3. Write articles detailing how to solve the readers problems...i.e. by following your link to the site of the product.

4. Post multiple (different) articles (to EzineArticles, GoArticles etc) all linking to the Merchants sites.

5. It's better to promote higher priced items with larger commissions, also many have recurring payments which is better.

6. Use your blog (or set one up for free at blogger.com ) for promotion

7. Repeat.

8. Repeat.

9. Repeat......you get the picture.

Good luck

Ray Kent. I was born in 1956. Educated in London. Was responsible for ISO 9002 implementation for various Blue Chip UK Companies. Now a bum. Still own 100% of my fitness, sense of humour and mobility, 90% of my brain, 80% of my teeth, 70% of my hair and only 10% of my good looks....which is sad really because I started off ugly.

What a loaded question! Lets narrow that down a bit and take it from the perspective of someone who wants to work from home and make money online in a home business. That will make it an easier question to answer.
Lets assume youve never had a website, dont know how to get a merchant account, dont know html, and are pretty much stuck with being an expert on sending and receiving email.

Whats there for you to do online to make money? Lots, in fact! These days are not at all like a couple of years ago or even six months ago. If I only had all the opportunities to make money online when I started marketing!

Here is a list of things you can do with just a website and a hosting account today:

Sell affiliate products (products like reports, ebooks, hard goods of every conceivable make, model, size, shape and function, and much, much more). Sell services (do you know how big a business being a Virtual Assistant is these days? Its quite amazing what you can do for people without ever meeting them face-to-face, anywhere in the world!) Online auctions (Ebay has made thousands and thousands of people full-time incomes from auctioning collectibles, antiques, and even brand new equipment and gadgets of all imaginable types. You name it, it has been sold on Ebay!) Membership sites: Know of any groups of people that would love to get insider information on virtually any topic? You could make money online with a membership site!

The list is a long one and one I am not prepared to detail here. You have found your way onto the net and if you have been surfing for very long at all you know it is a gigantic super shopping mall. Who to you think is making the most money online? Aside from big corporations, most of the web is made up of sites put up by little businesses people work from home.

I sell information and I love it. Most of the products I sell are other merchants products. I just drive traffic to my site, provide information, and point to relevant products related to the information I provide people looking for a way to make money online. I love helping people make their first few sales.

After that, they are always hooked and cannot do enough to learn everything there is to know about how to make money online. Many people I have worked with now have a couple to several websites selling everything from reports to hard goods that can be shipped direct to their customers. Most people start out to make money online as affiliates of certain products or authors. This is a great way to get your feet wet and learn what making money online is all about. People then either work to create their own products (which they get 100% of the profits from) or expand their website into other related niches.
