DECENT MONEY
 
Making a decent income at home online is the dream of many people, as it would provide them with a golden opportunity to live the life they have imagined. However, few people actually have the resources or the determination to make it work. It is possible to work at home over the Internet, but not everyone knows how to pull it off. Here are a few tips on how to make a decent income online from the comfort of home.
Look for the Right Opportunity

When it comes to making income at home online, there are so many different opportunities out there that it can be difficult to find one that is legitimate. There are many scams that try to get people to invest in them to provide a way to make money from home. Most of the time, an individual is not going to be able to simply try out the first thing that they come across and be successful at it. Finding the right opportunity takes some trial and error. It also can be aided by reading reviews about opportunities to see exactly what other people have to say about them. When checking online reviews about a business opportunity, it is important to make sure that the reviews are unbiased.
Persistence
Once an opportunity is identified that has some potential for success, it is important to work with persistence. Many people have a little bit of success with an online business opportunity, and then struggle. Some choose to give up in this situation while others continue to plug away. Those who continue working are usually the ones who do the best in their careers. Those who give up usually move from one thing to another without ever really finding any success.
Discipline
Regardless of what type of online business opportunity is pursued, it is important to make sure that a specific schedule is followed. Although working at home online does provide some flexibility in scheduling, the individual should still work specific hours. Many people who make the jump to working online end up working on an irregular schedule. This leads to problems, because they don’t end up getting all of their work done. For those who want to be successful working at home online, it is essential to stay disciplined and work when it’s time to work. This might mean staying away from the other members of the household in an office until the work is done.
Overall, working at home is a golden opportunity that makes it possible for a person to be his own boss and to make an unlimited amount of online income. To make it work, it will just take the right opportunity coupled with the right attitude.

More Than One Income.

Diversification is the key to securing your online income.  Here we take a look at the importance of diversification and some areas of your business where you can branch out.
As with most things in life the saying: “do not put all your eggs in one basket”, also applies to anyone earning online.

The internet is a very fast moving environment and changing all the time.  Technology is advancing at such a rapid speed that it can be near impossible to keep up with all the changes.   This is why it is so important to diversify in as many areas of your online activities that you can, so that you can safeguard your income whenever changes occur that affect you negatively.
Here are some areas where you can diversify:
Create more than one website.  It is a good idea, once you have your first website up and running and generating income to create another site in a totally different niche.  In other words, do not rely on one website for your income.
Diversify your marketing methods. When you first start out it is recommend that you choose one marketing method, master it and then move on to the next, and so on.  You want to create a variety of different methods to drive traffic to your website.  Never rely on one method and do not rely solely on organic search engine traffic.
It is important to not rely on one search engine for your traffic.  Most people focus on getting high rankings in Google only and when their site is affected negatively by an algorithm change and their rankings drop, so does their income.  Aim to get high rankings in all the top search engines.
Diversify your link building methods.  This is important so that you get a balanced link profile and the search engines can see that you have a wide variety of links pointing to your site from many different sites and domains.
Focus on generating traffic from places other than the search engines.  Social media is a big source of targeted traffic.  Other methods you can use are the traffic exchanges, classified advertising and solo ezine ads.
Build your own list with your own good quality autoresponder This is really important and one good way to secure your income.  Having a large list of active and responsive subscribers is a sure fire way of generating income quickly.  Consistently providing your subscribers with useful information builds trust and will guarantee sales for you when you recommend products to them.
Offer a variety of products.  Don’t just rely on selling products where you get paid once.  Aim to earn from multiple income streams. Consider joining residual income programs so that you continue to get paid in the future for the effort you put in today.  Should your sales for once-off products take a dip then at least you can be assured of still receiving your residual income checks.
The importance of diversification cannot be stressed enough in order to secure your income online.  The above are some areas where you can diversify and my advice is to keep looking for other ways to branch out, so that you are offering a variety of products, using different methods to build your business as well as utilizing many sources to drive traffic to your websites.
If you are looking for ways to diversify, my home page offers a selection of proven residual income opportunities and my internet marketing training guide lists a variety of ways to market a business on the internet.

It is often a dream for many to be their own boss. Whether the goal is to earn enough money to supplement a full-time income or to replace a full-time income altogether, side-businesses are viable options. An online home business can be operated with very low overheads and can be quite fulfilling and profitable.
Creating a store on an online auction site is still a profitable business to run from home. However, research should be done to determine which types of products are highly sought after. For instance, a storage unit full of high value antiques will sell better to an antiques dealer, but brand new products obtained via a wholesale re-seller will sell well on an auction site if listing prices undercut larger retailers. If auction sites do not appeal but a sales-oriented business does, a combination of blogging and affiliate marketing may be a better option.

Find books, music, toys, clothing, software, services and other marketable items online that have affiliate programs attached to them and sign up for the program. Start a blog or use an existing one and begin to write reviews of products and services and include the related affiliate link in the post somewhere, so readers can buy it if they are inclined to do so. Readers can often tell when a so-called review has been written by someone who hasn’t used the product or service being featured. Greater success with affiliate sales will happen when the writer has clearly tried the product and is measuring it against certain criteria.
Freelancing is another profitable option for a viable online home based business, and it isn’t just for writers anymore. Any skill can be marketable. For instance, people who can program cell phone apps and games are in high demand right now. People that are good at painting portraits from pictures of people and animals can make quite a bit of money selling that service online. Graphic artists and photo editors can sell those services, as well. Accountants, bookkeepers, web designers, payroll experts and any other profession that requires nothing more than a computer and a skill to work is doable at home.
While it is true that any of these skills and business ideas can be used to supplement or replace a full-time income, it is necessary to be realistic about the transition from working for someone else. Putting up a website selling a service is one of the essential steps, but another important step that cannot be skipped is marketing. Optimize sales pages for search engines; list the business in directories and post services and products via social media. Success may not be immediate but it is possible.
