Work At Home Mom's

A legitimate online business is the dream of all WAHMs. The problem is, we don’t know what is a good way to work online and what isn’t, and even if we did, we don’t know how to get started. If we did, we’d be doing it – wouldn’t we?

So, what things are possible online? What can we, as not really very technical people (sorry if you are, but I am addressing the majority here!) do online to earn money? Here are 5 ideas:

1 Writing If you like to write, you can write to earn money online. You can work as a freelancer, or you can affiliate market as a writer. Both of these can earn you an income.

2 Selling things on auction sites. The best known of these is eBay, but there are several others. You can either sell stuff that you no longer have a use for, or you can comb thrift/charity shops for bargains. All you need is a PC, internet access, a digital camera and you are away. There are some fees attached to using auction sites, but these are usually taken after the sale, so there is little, if any, outlay.

3 Affiliate Marketing. This involves promoting products for other people and receiving a commission for it. This can be very lucrative if done well as commission can be as high as 75% of the product cost. As the products are other people’s you have no worries about fulfilment of the order. In fact, often these products are downloadable anyway.

4 Write an eBook. Not as complicated as it sounds. eBooks that are non-fiction and self help or manuals tend to be the best sellers. So,if, for example, you know how to identify the “Lilac Crested Roller” and the “Pintailed Shryke”, write an eBook. I can promise you that there are other people who are just as interested in the birds of Southern Africa as you are!

5 Create your own website featuring something you are passionate about. Whatever it is that “lights your candle”, be it those colourful birds, or salsa dancing, or traditional Persian cooking, or whatever, there are people out there who would be interested. There are companies who can provide video tutorials and online help, so that even the “technically disadvantaged” can do it.

Sooner or later the Internet will become profitable. It’s an old story played before by canals, railroads and automobiles. ~Paul A. Samuelson
