Making Money From Home With an Automated System

There are many things you could do to start making money from home. But the truth is, many of these things are not as effective as they once were. Let me ask you a question. Do you really want to make money from the internet, or is it time freedom you are looking for? You see, there are many different techniques that you can use to earn extra income from home. However, many of these methods will only work if you are working really hard. And if you already have a job, you probably want to have a life too.

The only way that you can create time freedom for yourself is if you run a business that is automated. What do I mean by automated? Well, an automated business will do most of the hard work for you. You'll have a system that does all the telling and selling for you. You'll be able to get visitors to your website without having to be involved in the whole process. The traffic you get to your site will come automatically via the relationships you are using.

What's missing? Well, you need a product to promote. You see, the only way to make money is to sell something. ClickBank has thousands of products that you can promote to earn commissions. Browse their marketplace and look for the highest converting products. Once you have a product that is worth your time promoting, you need to drive traffic.

So how do you drive traffic?

Article marketing is my favorite. Articles are a great way to teach people about your products and services. You don't really talk about the products you offer within the article though. You will get people on your mailing list first. Then, promote your products to them via content, soft sell, and hard sell emails. This is the best way to make money from home. Also, you won't make a sale every time someone joins your mailing list.

Conversion rates will vary. My experience shows that a 0.01% conversion rate is good. So when you get 100 people to your product, you should make one sale. If you are getting less than a 0.01% conversion rate, something is wrong. Check to make sure people are going to your sales page. Make sure you are not using junk traffic sources. If you are writing articles or using PPC marketing, you should be fine. Once you have an automated system in place, the only thing you will need to do is drive people to that system.
