Article Body:
STEP 1. Find something you feel is a good business opportunity. You can scour the
internet for all sorts of different business ideas and opportunities. Doing a
search on any search engine with the keywords Work At Home, Business Opportunities,
Home Based Business, Affiliate Programs, Make Money Online, etc., will produce
1000's of different search results. Affiliate programs are THE ABSOLUTE BEST
business opportunities out there because the ONLY thing you need to do to run your
internet business is to market your affiliate link. With a traditional business you
must deal with inventory, storage, packing, shipping, complaints, returns, phone
calls, emails, checks and credit cards just to name a few! Not so with affiliate
programs, once someone has clicked on your affiliate link your only job is getting
the next person to click on it. Sweet deal!

STEP 2. Get your own webpage. You want to put your internet business on a
webpage of your own. A webpage is like a store front. It projects respect to your
business and who you are. Think about it. Do you feel the same about buying from a
vendor on the street as you do about buying from a person in a store? They�re both
vendors, but the store gives you a certain feeling about the person you are buying
from that a street vendor just can�t give you! Your webpage dose not have to be
fancy. If you only have a brief description of what your webpage is about along
with individual descriptions of your product or products people will respect that.
If it is affiliate programs you have decided upon, simply put a BRIEF description
of what is being offered along with your affiliate link. Do not disclose too much
in your description because people might THINK they know what it is all about and
not click on your link. You want to let your affiliate website do all the selling
for you. These sites are professionally designed to maximize the number of people
who buy or join so a brief description, just enough to spike their curiosity, is
sufficient.

STEP 3. Get your own Blog and make one post a day. A Blog, short for, �Web
Log,� is a great way to establish yourself as an authority figure on whatever topic
you decide. As people return to read your daily articles, they will eventually come
to view you as an authority on whatever your Blog is about. They will eventually
develop confidence in what you are saying, and will begin to trust you. As a result
some people will check out your webpage to see what you have to offer them, and
people tend to buy more from people they know and trust. Their confidence in you
will be an additional factor that will compel people to buy from you. There are
many places online that will host and let you set up your Blog for free.

STEP 4. Put Cost-Per-Click(CPC) advertising such as Google AdSense on your website.

Having Cost-Per-Click advertising on your website is a way to earn additional
income that can be VERY substantial. Most people who visit your website will not
buy from you. If people are going to leave your website, wouldn�t you rather them
leave through a link on your website that will pay you money every time someone
clicks on it? Google makes putting their AdSense on your website E-A-S-Y! The ads
are relevant to the content of your website. Google can even put its AdSense on
your Blog as we�ll.

STEP 5. Write and submit articles to article submission sites. This is the
most important advice you need to know. This is how you will get FREE advertising!
People are searching the internet for free information. When you submit your
articles online, the search engines will eventually find them and will spider every
word. When people do a search using keywords or phrases that are in your articles,
they will turn up in the search results, so be sure to insert highly searched for
keywords and phrases into your articles! You will need to include at the bottom of
all your articles your bio. Your bio will contain a brief description about who you
are along with a link to your website. It might read for instance [ John Doe is the
owner of yoursite.com. John helps people to work at home using various business
opportunities that include affiliate programs. If you desire your own home based
business visit http://www.yoursite.com] The more articles you write and submit, the
higher the chances are of your articles keywords and phrases showing up on search
results. The more links you have pointing back to your website, the higher your
websites page rank with the search engines will be, meaning the higher up on the
search results will your article turn up, so don�t stop writing and submitting
articles! I do want to stress however, quality over quantity. Take your time and
check your spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. No one will
take what you have to say seriously if you don�t write correctly.

So there you have it! Having a successful internet business is simply a

matter of understanding how things work, and applying that knowledge. It dose not
take any special skill or any great intelligence. If you follow these five steps,
you cannot fail. The most important thing, as with anything in life, is
persistence. Continue following steps three and five and watch your internet
business grow!
