The creation of the internet and the mass production of computers in the late 80's changed everyone's lives forever. One very important change is the ability to make money online; the ability everyone has to be be their own boss whether you are a stay home mom or a manual laborer.
All you need to do is search on Google for business opportunities and it will bring up more than you could ever imagine. I'm going to concentrate on 3 of the many different options to chose from when starting your internet based empire. One thing to note, I'm not talking about a get rich quick type business plan, even though you you may think it's easy to make a living on the internet, it actually does require a firm business plan and a lot of hard work.
You can run an online business on a part time bases with your current job, and build it to something huge... Your potential market is better than the average store in fact its bigger than you can ever imagine.
The first thing you'll need to decide is the type of business that's right for you, then research
the market. The 3 possible business choices I'm going to discuss are:
1. Affiliate programs
2. Adsense programs
3. Selling products
1. Affiliate programs will pay you a commission for selling company products. You'll have no contact with the customer, as all you do is provide sales leads to the company of whom you have to be an affiliate for.
2. Adsense programs are where you take an existing website you own of a particular subject then add contextual adverts from Google's adsense program. When someone clicks on an advert you'll receive a few cents.
3. The final method is selling products. You'll build a website with a shopping cart then give as many details as possible about the products. When customers buy products, you'll receive pay based on what you sell and how many.
When it all comes down to it, you'll need to set up a business and web site to start to make money online and get the most from your E-Commerce or affiliate marketing program. It'll take a lot of hard work and dedication - although it'll prove to be well worth it.

Affiliate Marketing Programs
Affiliate programs are all about getting greenbacks for selling items you do not own and not going to prison for it. Another person goes through every part of the trouble to develop software programs, service, or digital content products. They'll perform all the work, then you collect the money!
Affiliate programs is a revenue sharing agreement connecting the product developer, known as the merchant, and the marketer who is anybody that is willing to promote the sale of a product through marketing the product using any type of legal resources available.
The association will allow the merchant to grow their revenue by paying just for the sale produced by the marketer. The affiliate marketer will profit by making a cut on a sale that he does not have to manage after the sale.
Receiving compensation all depends upon how the affiliate program is set up. Some merchants resolve to run their personal affiliate program. They will have special types of software that assign each affiliate marketer a special link that's used in promoting the product. The software will track sales of every marketer and the merchant will disburse the commission on a periodic basis by either PayPal or another means of payment.
Your income is directly tied to how well your chosen item or service sells, and the extent of the payment you receive, which makes it most important that you select carefully witch merchant you'll be working with.
Select an affiliate program that you aren't embarrassed to support and services that you'll feel comfortable recommending to your friends & family if they asked you about it.
You'll perform much better if you promote items that you fully understand and are already familiar with. This way, you will be able to write better ads without having to work hard on your advertisements.
You should only promote products for affiliate merchants who supply training and sales aids, for example, banners and email copy that you can either use or model the one you produced after.
Search for programs with commissions of no less than 50%. You ought to give preference to services that disburse compensation on several levels, which means you'll also get paid commissions on sales made through clients who buy the products through your connection then go on to turn into affiliates themselves shortly after.
