When I first started my journey to make money online I jumped around from program to program.
I started out with SFI and then I moved on to eBay.
I later started doing independent contract work via a site called guru.
After I got tired of that I started doing research on other ways to make money online.
I wanted more control of how much I could make.
I came across something called the bum marketing method which taught me how to sell affiliate products via article marketing.
I signed up for ClickBank, pick a product to promote and started promoting it.
I started seeing sales within the first two days.
That gave me the motivation to kick it up a notch and start writing more articles.
As I started writing more articles I started making more sales.
I quickly became addicted to affiliate marketing.
All I had to do was drive traffic to a merchants site and if a sale was made, I made money.
I don't have to worry about product creation, inventory or customer service.
That is all handled by the merchant.
You sign up with an affiliate network, there are hundreds out there, set up a simple blog and start promoting the products.
Of course as your business grows you will start to build a list and learn about all different ways you can automate your business and make more money, but in the beginning just keep it all the way simple.
Don't over think things or make them more complicated then they have to be.
Learn what you need to get started and then get started.
You will be surprised at how quickly you can start to make money.
