Capital Internet At Home, get rich

Some people may have doubts about this title "Capital Internet At Home, get rich". Then ask, what is possible?
Oh of course it could.

But if the capital is only then that the Internet alone is not enough. Must have other capital, such as capital:
- The spirit of burning,
- Persistence is very high,
- Super-discipline,
- Good at making websites,
- A clever marketing knowledge,
- A lot of online friends,
- Skill saw market tastes,
- Good at making eBooks,
- Digital smile,
- Capital knee also included.

Try it you have a capital like I mentioned above, then almost certainly you can earn much above minimum wage.

Principle, if you want to pursue an Internet business, then do not ever say the Internet business was difficult, but never as well as in easier. Internet business means a business that uses the Internet as a medium to communicate it. The rest still takes effort and a very large capital, will also be found in rejection, deception, sabotage, fraud, and so on.

To be successful faster, you can try to learn only from those who have been successful, the practitioners who have been tested. As far as possible you have close friends, family, or people who have known you well as a reference, not only to lure only, but to share the way how, in detail and continuous. Otherwise, usually the Internet business will get bored very quickly, because it does not grow as their wishes, or as promised "cash flow". Good, if easy money flowed so sure the people who have a lot of money already for many employees to hired help to run their Internet business.

When you get used to the websites, eBooks, internet advertising, internet marketing in the broadest sense, means that you know the formula for successful business, plus strong business mindset Working at home is the Internet capital of the result was quite possible, even many people who have enjoy this way.

Internet and business

Human culture continue to evolve with the natural age. Human thought patterns became more advanced, so that more and more changing lifestyles of every man. New discoveries continued to emerge. If the first person to do long-distance communication through newspapers or direct mail, but now everyone can be rapid and direct in that instant, that is by telephone. Even now people can communicate via internet with chatting ala facebook or Yahoo Messenger and others.

Can not doubt that most of the technological advances change the lifestyle of each person, particularly in countries that have been developed. If everyone had a transaction or want to market, enroll their children schools, buy a plane ticket, pay electricity bills, phone, sold and others carried out off line or have to go to certain places by taking the time to get there and need for travel costs, now all can be done easily and fairly in a room.

Technological advances, especially in the field of internet and business, has changed the lifestyle of most people who formerly worked hard to be very easy and inexpensive.

Internet and business today has become one of the hard-line separated from human life that has been developed. Yes, with the internet, nowadays people no longer have to spend money to hundreds of millions of rupiah to buy a store, enough to just capitalize two hundred thousand dollars or even less, now people can have a shop that can run online for 24 full hour, even when we're asleep even online stores that continue to work to increase the wealth of the owner of the online store. Easy enough right?

To do business on the Internet is not just by making an online store, but the internet business has very many roads, of which again is membisniskan a blog, meaning you create an article on the internet in a blog or a site that attracts many visitors and put ads him so that you earn money each person clicks on the ads on your site. The term in the internet for advertising like this is PPC (Pay Per Click). Of course, you must first register to this service provider site, among other things you can click the text below:
Adsense.com
Bidvertiser.com
Adsensecamp.com
Kumpulblogger.com
Kliksaya.com
Etc.

In addition to advertising, there are more people doing business on the Internet by selling e-book. Example: Click here.

There are many more ways and techniques that made people to do business on the internet. For other ways God willing I will peel the next article. Just the internet and the business today has become a trend among people who have advanced knowledge and technology. And many of them have reaped success with abundant earn more than that conducted business or offline normal.

Well, what about you? If there is an easy way of doing business, why should perform the difficult?

Good work. Good luck!

How I make money with blog

When I go to family functions or social events I often get a blank stare when I explain what I do for a living. I think people understand the part that I write articles and put them on a website, but when it comes to making money from it, they don’t get it. In this section I will lay it out and hopefully it will help bring some clarity…

CPC Ad Networks

There are a few different ad networks that I use on CPF. The most successful one has been Google’s Adsense program. Basically what they do is read the article that I write and find ads that are relevant to it and display them next to the article. The great thing about it is that by having extremely relevant ads, it actually can be quite beneficial to the readers as well. For example, if I write an article explaining what an IRA was, but didn’t mention where you could open one, Adsense would likely be displaying ads of places to open an IRA. So as a reader, if I read that article and decided that I did want to open an IRA, the ads would be providing options that the article did not.

I am currently doing a few tests with another CPC network called Chitika. Apparently, you can use it in conjunction with Adsense. The jury is still out, but I am interested to see how it compares to Adsense. All things considered, I have found that if optimized correctly, Adsense really can work well. I will explain more about how to optimize it in sections below.

CPM Ad Networks

While Adsense pays on a click basis (CPC), I use other ad networks that pay by the total # of impressions (CPM). At the beginning, these networks didn’t produce much income, but as the traffic grows CPM networks seem to work well in conjunction with Adsense. I use (or have used) Adsdaq, Casale Media, Adbrite, Adify, Veremedia, and BuzzLogic. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses and may be suitable for one kind of a site and not another.

Affiliate Product Sales

Basically an example of an affiliate sale would be if you sold lawn mowers and I referred a customer to you, if they purchased you would pay me back a % of the sale for referring them. There are a million options for this on the internet now. The main programs I use are Amazon’s Affiliate program, LinkConnector, Commission Junction, Shareasale, E-Junkie, and LinkShare. There are many others, but these are a few of the more popular ones available.

I have a very strong policy about honest recommendations. I give my honest opinions about products that I find regardless of how it will affect affiliate sales. This is probably why I don’t really make too much with affiliate products. For example, I wrote about Cash Crate and updated the article to show what I didn’t like about them. Because Cash Crate has such a generous referral program, I know some people making lots of money from it, but I just don’t feel comfortable recommending it since I had a bad experience using it.

On the other hand there are products like ING Direct, Ebates, Amazon Prime, Ebay, Sharebuilder, and Quicken Online that I recommend and also have some sort of affiliate or referral program as well. These are what I love because I can help readers by pointing them to good resources and tools that have helped me and get paid in the process. I know some people don’t have a problem promoting anything that will pay them, but I just can’t, in good conscience, recommend something to someone that I don’t genuinely believe will help them.

Direct Ad Sales

I also sell ad space directly to advertisers. This hasn’t provided much income for me yet and may or may not even be worth my time. I know that in certain niche markets direct ad sales can work out very well, but thus far it hasn’t been a big money maker on CPF.

Blogging basics

What is a blog?

A blog is short for “weblog”. Basically, it is just a website that has entries listed in reverse chronological order. The original idea behind it was to be a online journal or diary that was updated daily (or as frequently as the writer chose). Over the last decade many software programs and blogging platforms have been created to make the process VERY EASY.

As the blog writer, depending on which platform you use, you can just type your entry, press submit and it shows up on your blog for the world to see. Most bloggers don’t know any programming languages and are not “techies.” Starting a blog is one of the easiest ways out there to start a website. If you haven’t started one yet, why not try it? It can be very quick to set up and can be completely free.

Is it easy to start a blog?

It is very easy. Even if there are steps along the way that are confusing, there are plenty of resources to get the help you need. There are over 20 million blogs in existence, so it can’t be that difficult.

How much does it cost to blog?

There are many services that allow you to start a blog for free (see below). I suggest using one of the free services to get a basic feel for blogging and “get your feet wet.” Once you decide you want to stick with it and that you want to make money with your blog, I suggest moving up to a self-hosted blog (see below). Anyone who is really trying to make money with a blog will probably be more successful with a self-hosted blog. Getting a self-hosted blog may not be free, but still can be VERY inexpensive. You will need to pay for nothing more than a domain name ($10) and web-hosting (as cheap as a few bucks a month).

Getting a blogging platform

All 4 of the options listed are free. The first 3 options are the easiest, but the are also limited on features. If you are just trying to make an extra few hundred dollars from your blog, these options could work. But if you are really serious about trying to make good money from your blog, I recommend self-hosting your blog (which we talk about in the next section…).

Tumblr.com – This is probably the simplest blogging platform to use, but it also is the probably the least customizeable. So, it might be something good to start with, but it would be more difficult to build an income-generating website with it.

Blogger.com – Blogger is also very good, easy to set up, owned by Google, you can customize the theme, and the domain name includes “.blogspot.com” (in some people’s opinion a little less professional). Blogger continues to become more customizeable and currently has a lot more options than they did a few years ago.

Wordpress.com – I like wordpress.com they are completely free, easy to set up, you can customize the theme, but other customizations are limited, domain name includes “.wordpress.com”.

Wordpress.org – Wait, what is the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org? To put it simply Wordpress.com is where you will go to set up a basic, easy blog with limited features. Wordpress.org is where you will go to get a self-hosted blog. If you get to the point where you are serious about blogging and really want to make some money with it, you need to self-host your blog.

Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. It is an application of crowdsourcing.

The Affiliate Marketing industry has four core players at its heart: the Merchant (also known informally as 'Retailer' or 'Brand'), the Network, the Publisher (also known informally as 'the Affiliate') and the Customer. The market has grown sufficiently in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including Affiliate Management Agencies, Super-Affiliates and Specialized Third Parties vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing—using one website to drive traffic to another—is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers.[citation needed] While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.[1]

Top 10 Internet Home Business Ideas

With over 300,000 “Internet Home Business” related searches on the internet every month, it’s safe to say that there is a lot of demand for information on how to make money on the internet. Sadly, this also means that there are a lot of shady characters preying on this group of people.

I knew someone who fell for one of these scams once – they taught him how to make money online, and then all he did was sell seminars – on how to make money online. The fact that he had never actually made any money online was beside the point… I guess. Not surprisingly, I’m not a big supporter of his business.
Can Anyone Make Money Online Working From Home?

Of course. Many thousands of people do. You might have friends or family members who make a living with a home-based Internet business already.

The problem is that not everyone WILL make money online, because making money on the internet takes a long time to learn, and most people give up because it can be extremely frustrating.

My one piece of advice for starting an internet home business is this: Don’t expect to replace your day job’s income for 365 days (or so!). Although I will add that service-based businesses tend to bring in revenue faster, I would still allow for a full year to replace your outside-the-home salary.
The Good News About the Home Based Business Industry

As long as you are willing to put in the hours (days… weeks…. months….. ) to learn the ropes, you can bootstrap your business with extremely little money, generally speaking.

Remember that some businesses take more to start than others. I’ve probably directly invested less than $3000 getting this blog up and running, and now revenue is increasing at about a 125-140% pace every month after being in business for 16 months.

So, where do you start from here? Here are some general rules of thumb.
Internet-Based Business: Startup Rules

1. Pre-packaged programs only work as much as you can customize it and make it unique and your own. Even then, techniques that work for one niche won’t work in all niches.
2. Be wary of any “system” that promises instant results (especially anything that sounds like a get-rich-quick scheme!)
3. Knowing the basics of html, SEO (search engine optimization), social media marketing, website marketing and traditional marketing and sales are a must.
4. Every business is made stronger by specializing in a tight niche. Know your audience and stick to it.

Unless you have a brilliant tech idea that makes venture capitalists drool (which means you don’t need this list), you need to determine where your strengths are and which business model you plan on following. I have run three home-based businesses in my life, all of which leveraged my current skill set as the foundation for building the business.

Look over the following list and single out the ones in which you have at least some experience. You probably won’t have all of the skills necessary, so don’t let that stop you! All you have to do is work hard and be willing to learn.
