How to Make Easy Money from Home – Working in your PJs

People are tired of the daily commute and want to know how to make easy money from home. You can and I will show you how by avoiding the scams. The internet has become a double-edged sword when it comes to making money online. There are many legitimate job opportunities and just as many online scams, if not more.

However I am going to turn you on to a rewarding type of internet marketing that requires very little experience, effort and money to start. In fact if you already have a computer and internet access, you can start for free.

Is there really such a thing as starting for free? Yes there is, and it is how I got started as well. Before I tell you what it is, let me first explain how easy it is. This is something that many people when I tell them say to me, wow I wish that was me. Well guess what? It can be you if you take action to make it your life story.

The easiest work at home job.

Picture yourself getting up in the morning, brushing your teeth, fixing yourself some breakfast, walking to your computer or turning on your tablet, and starting your work day. Did you notice that in everything I just mentioned I did not say take a shower and get dressed? That is because you do not have to if you do not want to. You can work in your PJs and be comfortable.

There is no need to leave your home to do this type of work. No getting behind the steering wheel of a car, spending money on gas, and sitting in traffic. There is no need to wait for the bus or the train and cram in with other people on their way to a thankless job. You now work from home in your own online business.

Am I going to have to buy postage & supplies?

No this is not envelope stuffing, survey taking, door-to-door sales, phone sales, recruiting people in an MLM (Multi-Level Marketing), list building, and this is not even doing anything directly with eBay, though I do sell on eBay too. What makes this kind of job really easy is that you only need a computer or tablet and an internet connection.

There is no need to stock any products because your customer’s orders are all handled over the internet. So what kind of easy internet marketing type of job is this? It is called Affiliate Marketing and hundreds of thousands of people do this every day with tens of thousands of retailers all over the world.

How to make money in Affiliate Marketing.

The process of making money with Affiliate Marketing is very simple. You first have to create a website, which is extremely easy to do nowadays without knowing any kind of programming language, more on this a little later. Once you have your website up and running you need to choose a niche for what you want to promote and sell.

Let us say you are into mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. You can choose a niche in accessories for smartphones like cases or covers or portable solar chargers, there is a huge variety of accessories just for smartphones. Look at all of the different styles and colors of iPhone cases there are in the picture to the right. That is a niche that has a lot of potential. For more information on the finer details of what a niche is check out my, What is a Niche page.

Now when someone looks for information about smartphone cases on the search engines, they see the link to your website and click on it. They read and like what you have to say about the cases and then they click on the affiliate ad you have on your website for smartphone cases. They make a purchase, the company they purchase from sends them the case and sends you a commission on that sale. Affiliate Marketing is as simple as that.

How does Affiliate Marketing really work?

Okay, I just gave you a brief glimpse into the easiness of making money by doing Affiliate Marketing. Let me now go a little deeper into the financial possibilities and who will be paying you a commission. You may be thinking that it is some small companies that do Affiliate Marketing. Well you are correct but you are also wrong.

Yes small companies are involved but the majority of big Fortune 500 companies that sell online also participate in Affiliate Marketing, with Amazon being the largest in the world. So let us say you sign up to affiliate with Amazon, signing up is always free, you can then have a very large selection of products that you can promote and sell on your website.

Using the example of smartphone cases let us say someone buys a smartphone case from the Amazon affiliate ad on your website for $10 and then also goes on to buy an Xbox One game for $35 and a Keurig Coffee Maker for $125.00. Yes that seems like an odd grouping of items to buy but trust me, I have seen some weird purchasing combinations. The total of this order comes up to $170.

How do I get paid?

Amazon pays 6-8% commission on every sale that comes from your affiliate ad on your website and it does not have to be on whatever it is that you are promoting. So 8% of $170 = $13.60 commission for you. Now that may not seem like a lot but that is just from one person. Once your website is indexed into Google and the other search engines you have the world as your potential customers.

Those commission numbers from Amazon are on the low end of commission payouts. Many other companies offer larger commissions of 50% and even higher. Like I said, the majority of Fortune 500 companies that sell online are also involved in Affiliate Marketing.

The next time you go up online to buy something, look at the very bottom of the webpage and look for the words Affiliate, Associate, or Webmaster. If you see any of these words then that company is involved with an Affiliate Marketing Program. You will be surprised at how many companies there are that participate.

I heard Affiliate Marketing is a scam.

Yes, I have heard that too but that rumor is false and here is why. There have been several of those online scam companies that claim to be dealing in Affiliate Marketing when in actuality they are not. One big scam company that comes to mind is called Empower Network, you can read my EN Scam Review here.

Companies like EN have hijacked the Affiliate Marketing genre and given it a bad name. But here is where your common sense will come into play and prove that this is not a scam. Do you seriously think that any of these small, large, and Fortune 500 companies would participate in a scam? Of course not!

Are you ready to make some easy money from home?

Does this sound like something you would like to try? It is the easiest way to make money online from where ever you are. Once you set up your website, add some promotional reviews and information, join some free affiliate programs (does not matter how many), and place their free ads on your website, you are good to go!

Everything to get started is easy and at first free! You can start by building two free WordPress websites that literally take less than 30 seconds to be programmed with installed plugins with just a click of the mouse button. I have a video on my How to Build an Easy Website page that shows you how simple and easy it is to build.
