If you are looking for a serious home based business opportunity you should really consider Internet Marketing. Internet Marketing is everywhere and there are lots of people making a good living off of promoting and selling other people's products online. That's basically what internet marketing (or affiliate marketing) is. You get a commission every time you sell a product that you promote. Think of yourself as a virtual salesperson. Internet Marketing is HUGE. There are thousands of companies (many of them major companies) and corporations that use affiliate marketers to sell their products for them. Both merchants and affiliates realize the benefits of affiliate marketing. The merchant sees affiliate marketing as the chance to advertise their products at no cost to themselves, as the affiliates pay for their own websites, adsense campaigns, etc. Affiliates sees internet marketing as a great way to earn money from working at home. And for many affiliate marketers, internet marketing is their full time business. These two factors alone make internet marketing a serious home based business opportunity. So now that you know that affiliate marketing is a serious home based business opportunity, lets talk about what kinds of affiliate marketing options are out there. Affiliate marketing programs are not all the same. There are different types of affiliate marketing. The most basic types of affiliate marketing are pay-per-click (PPC), and pay-per-performance (PPP). Pay Per Click (PPC) In this affiliate marketing type, the merchant pays his affiliate whenever a visitor is referred to his site, that is whenever someone clicks through the merchant's banner or text ads. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant's site. Typical payouts for PPC affiliate programs are small, usually from several cents to a dollar per click. In order for an affiliate to make any kind of money, they have to have a lot of traffic coming through their site. Lots of bloggers go this route. Pay Per Performance (PPP) PPP affiliate marketing is the most lucrative type for affiliates. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral translates into an action - that is whenever the visitor he has referred actually buys something. Commissions in PPP affiliate marketing usually can range anywhere from 20 to 75% of the product sale. Pay Per Performance has made millionaires out of some of those who view it as a serious home based business opportunity and treat it as such. Affiliate marketers who choose to use PPP marketing tend to have websites or "squeeze pages" that contain valuable content that readers are searching for. And they make product recommendations within the content so that readers will be more likely to click through to the actual sales page that the merchant has set up. Some affiliate marketers don't even have a website, but use Adsense or some other type of advertising tool to get readers to the sales page. The most successful internet marketers understand that internet marketing is a serious home based business opportunity and take advantage of both types of affiliate programs, both types of advertising tools, and have lots of websites, squeeze pages, and blogs in many different niches (topics). If you're interested in being your own boss, I urge you to look into internet marketing, it can be your window into economic freedom.
