What Are The Top Ways To Become Your Own Boss?

By Russell Howe


Most people like the idea of learning how to make money online but don't know where to start. Today we are going to run through a few of the most popular methods used to generate incomes on the internet.

The power of the internet literally allows us to change our lives without leaving the house. That power is often misunderstood, with many people falsely believing that they're in for an easy ride with an online business. If you can get past that common misconception you will realize there are various genuine ways of building an income from home depending on what you actually want to do.


Full time father Russ Howe reveals how he managed to make money online for his young son.



Listed below are the top three choices of people looking to build an online income in 2012.

1. Becoming an affiliate of an existing company.

2. Taking a hobby and developing it into a career.

3. Developing a product and starting a full business from scratch.

The most popular opportunity is affiliate marketing and has been for quite some time now. So what is this? Basically, it means joining a company and paying a monthly membership fee for access to their product range. If you refer other people to the company, you hit a commission check. You are able to build an income this way.

Companies like Avon, Mary Kay and Empower Network are in the affiliate marketing industry. Think about it, each time the Avon lady makes a sale she gets a commission. That's basically it in a nutshell. The appeal is often the fact that the company is already trusted and established therefore little preparation work is required.

The second item on today's list is turning your hobby into an income. You can probably count on one hand the number of people who wouldn't like to do that. However, talking about it and actually doing it are two very different things.

Most of us have something in life which we enjoy doing and would like to get paid for. The beauty of the internet is that it makes achieving this a lot easier than it used to be.

Finally, there are those who create their own business from the ground up. If you have a particular service and you think you could cater to a particular niche then this is the option for you. Again, it's not as simple as it is sometimes made to look, but there is nothing stopping you at all.

None of the online success stories you see, whether affiliates or businesses, happened overnight. They all took hard work. If you have an existing business and are looking to expand into the online world you will already know this.

All in all, there are numerous ways for you to make money online and all of them require good old fashioned elbow grease. You won't see results with any of the top three methods give today unless you are prepared to really work at your business.
