Making money at home has become a priority; with the economy in the toilet and millions of workers laid off. It's been said for every job opening, there are six applicants waiting to apply and I'm sure in some industries that number of applicants is even higher.So now all eyes are looking on the internet wondering if all these offers for making money online are real and if so, how do you get started to become a network marketer or even think about starting a network marketing business.

For a complete beginner there are business opportunities on line that are like opening a network marketing business in the box. The website is setup, you have a product, and even the long sales letter has been written for you. The only part left for the network marketer to do is find away to get people to come and visit the site, or as the veteran network marketers say, “Drive Traffic to Your Site.”

Affiliate marketing, or business in the box, has been around for quite some time. Even large corporations have figured out the more people they have online selling their internet marketing product or service, on a commission basis; the more money that company makes. Just look at the sales figures, if you have just one thousand affiliates who make one sale each, the company can't loose and if one of those affiliates figures out how to drive large amounts of traffic to their network marketing business site, that could equal hundreds of sales and a nice monthly income for the network marketer.

Your making money at home opportunity could begin with a company called Click bank, they seem to be one of the largest internet marketing companies on the internet and pay top commissions depending upon the selected product. Their product line consist of digital products, e-books and even software programs, all of which can be bought and downloaded right on the internet. This eliminates

the need for shipping, postage and long waits at the post office. You should avoid any product that you have to buy, store at your house, then be responsible for seeing that it gets shipped whenever an order is placed. At one time, everyone I knew had a garage full of water filters to sell, so thankfully that network marketing craze is over.

Making money on the internet might become the next California Goldrush, since it's inexpensive to get started, plus there are numerous sites where you can place free ads for your product or service. Craigslist, backpage.com, usfreeads, and even on the social networks like Facebook and MySpace, are all good places to get exposure for your internet marketing product or service. The key is to have a good classified ad title and make sure that you post often, otherwise, your marketing ad gets buried quickly by all the new marketing ads being placed.

So once you have your Affiliate network marketing product, you know where to look for Free advertising, now think about what is missing. You need an auto-responder to send your internet traffic to. If you're new to internet marketing then you may not have heard this, but “the money is in the list.” What that means is your goal should be to entice prospects to join your network marketing list for updates, emails and newsworthy tidbits that you might have and want to share with them.

Even if the company that you're doing business with goes out of business, you can always take your list and find another homebased business opportunity. That is why the money is in the list. Do a search for Aweber or Getresponse, both are good autoresponders.

The three rules of building an internet marketing business are:

1)Build a list2)Build a relationship with your list3)Market to Your list

There you have it, just follow the steps laid out for you and you'll be out there somewhere panning for all the gold nuggets that you can find.
