A few years ago, I first started my Internet business while working full-time for a large corporate company.
The ‘job for life’ motto no longer applies and I was concerned that the large corporate could easily just say, “Andrew we no longer need your services”.
By understanding how to make blog and starting my own internet business part-time, I knew I was building something that I could rely on, if that situation were to happen.
I was in a senior position in the company and I worked long hours. But I knew I still had to work many hours each week to make my Internet business successful.
I would listen to or read about internet marketing gurus best tips and ideas, while travelling to and from work.
When I travelled on business to other places around the UK, I started to travel by train so I could work on my own internet business.
When I was “away” on business I would work in the hotel rooms in the evenings.
I would work at weekends. I was focussed. I wanted to suceed.
I started making several blogs and then I looked at Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is where you sell someone else’s product or service and earn a percentage of the sale price. The percentage ranges from 5% to 100%.
When you first start, Affiliate Marketing commissions probably won’t amount to enough to make the work worth your while.
This might be true. It was for me.
I was working all the hours I could, trying different techniques and making very little income.
In fact, if I were to add up the hours and divide them by the amount of earned commission I was making, it would have been less than $1 an hour.
Can you imagine working for less than $1 an hour?
But I was determined and I thought like any new venture, sometimes things start slowly and then pick up speed when you have a little experience and confidence with what you’re doing.
Remember I was only doing this part-time. It was a slow progress.
I was working hard and long hours, but I was earning Affiliate Marketing commissions and I still had the comfort and security of my main full-time role.
You could do exactly the same.
Find a few hours each week, put in a little extra effort and get started. What may start small can become an extra slice of income each month without you having to find a second part-time job or take on more overtime at work.
And, best of all, you can do it from your own home. No travelling expenses!
I am not saying you will become rich. I am not saying it’s easy.
Many individuals give up because as I say, it can be hard work for very little income.
So where do you go to find products to promote and sell.
I started off at ClickBank.
You sign-up, you choose your product to promote, you add the link to your site. Whenever you sell something, ClickBank does the rest. Two weeks later you get a check with your sales commissions. ClickBank do take a small commission but it’s worth it. Everything is automatic and completed for you.
Another great thing with ClickBank is that you can track statistics like how many people purchased, who has purchased and your commissions.
That way you can see if a product is selling or not. If not, move on, start a new campaign with a different product.
You are not going to become rich but if you simply want a little extra cash each month, find out how to make blogmake some extra income with Affiliate Marketing while working from home and with the security of having your full-time role. You have very little to lose.
