In this post I’m going to pinpoint one good way of how to make a living with an online business. The online world is always expanding and growing and the possibilities to make money on the internet really has no limits. I’m not saying you will strike it rich with an online business, but it certainly is possible. What I am suggesting is that it’s a very realistic goal to be able to set up an online enterprise that can bring you in enough income each month for you to earn your fulltime living from the internet. While this sort of business might not be for everyone, there are certainly some advantages to running a business entirely online.
Advantages Of Online Business
You get to work from home or practically anywhere you like where you have an internet connection. This allows you complete lifestyle freedom, which certainly appeals to many out there in the modern age. It’s one of the things I’ve both strived for and been fortunate enough to achieve.
Imagine being your own boss, working wherever and whenever you want with no one to answer to but yourself. You can fit you work schedule around your home and leisure life.
- Can be very cheap to get started
- Low overheads
- Only a computer and internet connection required
- Work from home or work from anywhere
- Spend more quality time with family
- Be your own boss
- Eventually create residual and passive income streams
- You can expand your online businesses
- No travelling to work
- Set your own hours
- Lifestyle freedom
- No limit on your income potential
- A chance to live the laptop lifestyle
- Anyone is capable of starting and online business
Why I Recommend Affiliate Marketing
Many of the reasons listed above are why I recommend affiliate marketing. It can be very cheap to get started in this form of online business because you don’t need to buy or stock or ship any of your own products. You simply promote the products of other companies and receive a commission when a sale is made. If you have a computer and an internet connection, then you have all you need to get started in this business.
As mentioned above, this type of business can be operated from anywhere in the world. You could do it while you’re travelling if that’s your dream, or stay put at home and run your online affiliate enterprise from a home office. The choice is entirely up to you.
Now, I’m not saying you’re going to strike it rich with affiliate marketing, but it can certainly be a stepping stone to other opportunities, and there is the very real possibility of at least drawing a fulltime income from it like so many marketers do.
It will take some time to gain momentum and there will be work to be done. All genuine opportunities online require effort and work. There is no avoiding that. Those programs that promote big bucks within weeks are outright scams looking to swipe the cash from your credit card. Steer well clear of anything that sounds too good to be true, because it is.
If you are diligent, put the effort in and learn how to set up an affiliate marketing business the right way, you can definitely be on the path to securing your financial future and time and lifestyle freedom.
I trained with Wealthy Affiliate and their training is so easy to follow. There are some other good training programs out there that will teach you all about affiliate marketing, but Wealthy Affiliate is the one I know best.

Darren,
I like how you have outlined how to make a living online. Having a website that promotes Affiliate marketing is the most economical way to make money online, it is not the fastest way to make money. It does take some time and effort. In your journey online what are your biggest roadblocks to making money.
I like the idea of working from home, it is sometimes harder with family interruptions, how do you deal with these.

I think having patience (or lack of it) is the biggest hurdle, plus the learning curve. There will always be interruptions working from home, but you just have to pick your moments when you can get work done, and make sure you have a space away from everyone and everything else so you can focus.
