In this article we want to talk about how you can make money from home online. If you have a computer with Internet access, and a little bit of free time, you can start making money as soon as today. Here's how

Before we get started on that list, consider how people used to make money from home. You are probably familiar with companies like Avon, Amway, Shackley, Watkins, and various other home business opportunities that revolved around direct selling and network marketing.

You're also probably familiar with things like stuffing envelopes at home, selling reports for one dollar, telemarketing, and other things along these lines. When we talk about how to make money from home online today we are talking about using a computer with Internet access to create an income that you can do from the comfort of your own home.

Many people think that they can not make money from home online because they do not have a website of their own. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, because it is possible to make money online sitting in front of your computer without a website of your own.

Here is one way you can do that.

You can do e-mail marketing, and with nothing more than an autoresponder and a few good affiliate programs you can make a lot of money from home. Email marketing is where you send out messages to people that are expecting to hear from you. We're not talking about spamming, but rather, sending information that has been requested by somebody who has opted in to receive it.

An autoresponder allows you to send email messages automatically. Many affiliate programs have prewritten email followup messages that you can place into your auto responder.

Then using various free, and nearly free advertising methods, such as traffic exchanges, e-zine advertising, classified ads, forum marketing, and social networking, you can promote your autoresponder address to build up an income from home.

We mentioned affiliate marketing. Amazon and other companies pioneered affiliate marketing in the mid-90s.com.

The basics of affiliate marketing are that you join an affiliate company and get paid as a commissioned sales rep to sell their products. All of the products, marketing resources, collecting of the money, and shipping is handled directly by the company.

The one thing that you will have to get good at is how to promote your autoresponder address online. The beauty of this form of building on ongoing income on the Internet is that you will be concentrating on building a mailing list for future follow up.

In conclusion, yes, you can make money from home online without a website of your own. Master the technique of building your own mailing list with affiliate marketing, e-mail marketing, and an autoresponder, and you can make a lot of money from the comfort of your own home.
