In 2013 it is predicted that over 1,000,000 individuals will attempt to become their own boss via the internet. While not all of those people will succeed, it is certainly possible to build an income from home providing you are prepared to put in the work. Today we'll look at two options for achieving self employment, comparing starting your own business to affiliate marketing with companies like Empower Network and Amazon.
Most people have a skill or hobby that they dream of being able to do as a career. Up until the development of the internet, this was something which had to remain a dream. However, if you are prepared to put in the effort to learn how to use the power of the internet for your business, the sky really is the limit for your ideas.
Of course, the biggest reason most people fail to become their own boss on the internet is false expectations. They tend to see the internet as a miracle solution, which it isn't. In order to reach success you'll need to work just as hard as you would if you owned a high street business.
The dawn of the internet age has made it possible for anybody to develop an income from a favorite hobby by providing you with a ready-made platform. Using free marketing methods such as social media favorites Facebook and Twitter you can build a following for almost any niche over time. Couple that power with the excellent platform provided by video networking websites such as Youtube and you have yourself a simple, free method to reach potentially thousands of customers in your targeted niche.
If the idea of starting a business from ground zero doesn't really appeal to you, there is always the option of affiliate marketing instead. This means affiliating yourself with an established brand, becoming a representative for them and earning a commission for helping them to reach more customers.
It is possible to earn a great income via either method, with the affiliate option being the slightly easier choice as it gives the user ready made products and a brand name to work with. You'll need to put in a solid effort to see success with either method, though.
The common denominator which separates the successful from the unsuccessful is personal branding. If you have dreams of either becoming a leader in your niche or a top affiliate within your company, you need to learn how to separate yourself from the thousands of other individuals who are trying to do the same thing. Due to the fact that most people hope the internet is an instant solution to their problems, most people don't do any work on branding themselves, which makes it easier for those who are prepared to put in the effort. []
The downside of online business is the huge amount of misleading information which gives people the false idea that they can build an income without any effort. This preys on those who are looking for a way to achieve overnight success. Hard work is the key to success.
At the end of the day the choice is yours. Some will find the idea of working with a brand such as Empower Network or Avon more appealing than starting a business from the ground level, whereas others like that idea. Either way, ensure you have enough time to focus on your ambitions if you truly want to reach the levels of success you dream of.
