Easy tips to home-based money making

Getting Started
Unless you are going to be having a go at online surveys, then you are going to need to communicate with people in some way. And for this, you need a simple website. And the most simplest form and easiest to set-up, whilst being free, is by heading over to Blogger and setting up your own blog. Within minutes you can have your own unique website, that you can customise and use for almost anything that you want.

The Potential Income Streams
To get you going for free, there are a variety of income streams. One of the best can be paid posting, but that is better once your site has aged a bit and has some traffic. So, until that day comes and to supplement it once it arrives, what can you do?

Well Google's AdSense is easy to sign up for and if you are using Blogger, you can install the adverts in a couple of minutes. So that is the next step. With this, every visitor that comes to your site has the potential of clicking the links and earning you cash.

Also, you can earn money by promoting and linking to relevant products, through affiliate selling. You just need to look around various merchants, affiliate directories and services such as ClickBank (which promotes ebooks - excellent for global selling) to find some products to promote.

Where To Find Visitors
Search Engine Optimisation is great, if you have the time and the skills plus the patience to learn what is needed. You can also distribute articles to relevant directories to get some traffic.

But, what if writing is not your thing and these are too technical? Well all is not lost, in fact there are other methods that can be just as good and a lot more fun. If you use Facebook and other social networking sites then you can tap into the possibilities there. Maybe set up a separate business account for your home enterprise if you want them to be separated, and then start to get people following you. Next you just use your social networking skills to mention what you are writing on your blog and get people to call into your blog. As people share what you are saying, that is your source of visitors.

Extending The Reach
Never rest on your laurels. Once people are visiting the site make sure they are coming back and you do this by signing up to a free newsletter service, putting a sign up form on your blog and sending a weekly newsletter to everyone that signs up. You can include affiliate links in the direct mailing as well, increasing your chances of an income.
