If you are going to become a successful affiliate on the
Internet, you need 3 "intangibles." These are things that
must come from WITHIN you.
===> Intangible 1 <=== First, you must have a strong WHY. Why must you make affiliate marketing work? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now? For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in this business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours. ===> Intangible 2 <=== You must BELIEVE that it is possible. If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to make money with affiliate programs or make your living on the Internet, you won't. It's that simple. For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money online. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation. There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money online with affiliate programs. Just get online and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money online with affiliate programs. I've always said that "affiliate marketing" is the job of the future. In the "old" days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. Believe me, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY. ===> Intangible 3 <===
You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.
Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy
you MUST adopt to succeed with affiliate marketing.
That's backwards for most people who like to aim before
they fire. The fact is the Internet is a moving target...
The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop
analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn
from the outside... You have to be IN THE RING to truly
understand it.
The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to
start an affiliate marketing business. You simply have to
start one. This is what I call "Making the Leap."
The good news is that the cost of failure on the Internet is
very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to
evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up
a business. It's almost always necessary to invest
thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the
ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a
successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit
Site is a great example of this as you can see here:
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-15607
You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay
"out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could
be learning and skills necessary to become a successful
affiliate marketer. In fact, if you're not in the game yet,
you're ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to becoming
a successful affiliate marketer today!

How to Start an Internet Business.
Discover How to be Debt Free- Part 2
Welcome to part 2 of “How to Start an Internet business.” To read part 1, of this article just click here.
Starting an Internet business is not hard, if you follow these few simple steps you will see an avalanche of cash heading straight into your bank account. Harness your own home based business income opportunities.
Step 4:-Send tons of targeted traffic to your site, by using search engines.
Now that you have got your niche, written a compelling sales copy and have a dynamic website – how do you get traffic to your site? The answer is by using search engines.
The two quickest ways to drive laser-focused visitors to your site is by using pay-per-click (PPC) programs like Google Adwords and Yahoo Search marketing.
As soon as you have some paid traffic coming to your site, and you have figured which are the best performing keywords, you will need to optimise your web pages for those keywords, to get your home based business income opportunities site showing up in the organic search engines as well.
Step 5:- Use sources of cheap or free traffic.
Your reputation as an online marketer, is one of your most important assets, people need to know who you are, and why they need trust you.
The best way to “spread the good word”, is to utilise the following effective methods;
· Give away free expert content.
· Issue a press release about your business.
· Become an active expert in industry forums.
Your name and website URL linked to your articles, will boost your rankings in the search engines listings, since every site that posts your content will link back to you.
Step 6:- Apply the power of email marketing to keep in touch with your visitors… and turn them into buyers!
It takes on average four to seven contacts with someone before they will be comfortable enough to purchase something from you, so you need to stay in constant contact with your visitors to establish a relationship with them.
Email marketing is the most effective way to do this, you can show your subscribers you really know what you are talking about and make them comfortable enough to make a purchase from you.
By staying in constant contact with your existing subscribers you can keep them informed of any new products that you might have in your home based business income opportunities business.
Step 7:-Sell new products to your existing customer base.
If you follow up with your existing subscribers at least 36% of them will purchase again from you.
The best way to cement your relationship with your subscribers is to do the following,
· Offer products that complement their original purchase.
· Send out lots of helpful information.
· Include an offer for related products on your thank you page.
· Sell affiliate products that complement your product or service
By staying in constant communication between your subscribers you will have loads of opportunities for backend selling an up selling in your home based business income opportunities business.
Step 8:- Unleash the power of affiliate programs for hands-free traffic and sales.
One of the best ways to grow your home based business income opportunities business is to launch your own affiliate program.
Affiliates are people who promote your products on their website for a cut of the selling price, every time they send you a buyer, you pay them a commission.
As your army of affiliates will do the advertising & selling for you, you save all these costs and the best part is that you only pay them when they make a sale.
Conclusion.
Thank you for reading my article, on how to start your own Internet Business, this is just a brief overview of all the steps involved, but they are the 8 most crucial steps if you want to have your own successful home based business income opportunities business.
Here is to your success.

How to Start an Internet Business.
Discover How to be Debt Free- Part 1
Starting an Internet business is not hard, but there are specific steps involved if you want to succeed, if you follow these few simple steps you will see an avalanche of cash heading straight into your bank account. Harness your own home based business income opportunities.
1. Find a hungry niche – BEFORE you decide what to sell.
2. Write a compelling sales copy that draws in your visitors
3. Have a winning site- to convert visitors to customers.
4. Use top search visitors to drive tons of targeted traffic to your site.
5. Use sources of cheap or free traffic.
6. Apply the power of email marketing to keep in touch with your visitors… and turn them into buyers!
7. Sell new products to your existing customer base.
8. Unleash the power of affiliate programs for hands-free traffic and sales.
No matter where you are in your business, Newbie or seasoned Internet Marketer, you can always benefit from going through these proven series of steps, to ensure that you are doing everything possible to grow your business.
Step 1:-Find a hungry niche market First – Then decide what you want to sell.
When you first start an online business, most people make the mistake of looking for a “hot product” first; this is why the majority of Internet start-ups fail.
The reason for this is simple because, most people do not go online to buy something – they go online looking for information or to solve a problem. Like where to find home based business income opportunities.
By doing some simple research, you can discover what these people are looking for, and then figure a way to give it to them.
Once you have identified your hungry niche market and you have a product that will satisfy their wants, its time to do step 2.
Step 2:- To draw in visitors write a compelling sales copy.
The sales copy is the most important part of your website, it will be the first point of contact most of your visitors are going to have with your business.
Writing a compelling sales copy is a “science” not an “art” so it can be learned because there is a specific formula to follow. You need to focus on how your product will solve people’s problems or improve their lives.
· Include a headline and sub-headlines packed with benefits.
· Use Testimonials to build credibility.
· Offer a strong guarantee
· Add bonuses
Don’t forget to emphasize the benefits of your product not its features. You want visitors to have a clear idea of how your product is going to improve their lives – e.g. Be Debt Free, discover my Home Based Business Income Opportunities.
Step 3:- Design a winning website to convert visitors into Buyers.
You should only start building your website, once you know what you are going to sell and have written your sales copy. That way your site design will facilitate the sales, rather than get in its way.
Keep your site simple, you only have 10 seconds when someone arrives at your website to grab their attention;
· Choose a plain, sans-serif font (like Arial or Verdana).
· Use Black text on a white background.
· Make sure navigation is clear and simple, include a sitemap.
· Avoid using distracting flash or audio – unless it supports your message.
· Include an opt-in form to collect visitor’s details.
If you make it simple for visitors to purchase, they will
Conclusion
I did not want this article to get too long and boring, so I have broken it up into two sections, that way you can really understand and start to implement the correct steps involved in looking for your own home based business income opportunities.
