These days just about everybody has access to the internet and owns a computer (or at least a smartphone or tablet). If you have a computer and an internet connection, then you’re in business. Why not make money on your computer if you’re using it daily anyway? Even if you just want to make a little bit extra on the side, doing an internet business can be really cheap and quite quick and simple to set up.
In this post I’m going to be focusing on one way to make money online with your computer, but for some more ideas, check out my article by clicking the link below.
How To Make Passive Income Streams Online
Affiliate Marketing And What Is It Exactly?
If you’ve never been involved in affiliate marketing before you have probably heard the term at least. If you don’t know what it involves exactly, affiliate marketing is simply a matter of promoting the products that another company has for sale. You send a lead to the company and, if a purchase is made you get a commission. Very simple business model, easy to set up, costs virtually nothing to get going and you don’t have the headaches of having stock or sending anything out. You just promote and get paid when you make a sale.
Sound interesting?
Affiliate Marketing Can Be A Long-Term Business
This isn’t something to get into for the short-term. Affiliate marketing – if set up the right way – can establish a long-term online business for you, where you do the bulk of the work now and reap the financial benefits for years to come. In time much of your income will become passive and residual, meaning you can make money while you sleep.
And I’m sure that appeals to just about every person on the planet.
You Can Live A Dream Life With An Online Business
Imagine having the lifestyle freedom of both time and money. Wouldn’t you just love to be sitting on a beach somewhere knowing that money is being generated from your affiliate marketing efforts even while you are not actively working on your business?
Well, this can be the reality, the outcome of an online business set up the right way. Sure, you have to put some work into it and you won’t see a payoff right away, but in time it can get to the stage where you work on your business maybe only an hour or two every few days while you spend the rest of your time enjoying life to the max.
The other great thing about an online business is you are not restricted to an area. You can be anywhere in the world and run your affiliate marketing business. The money will keep rolling into your account no matter where in the world you happen to be. If you really want true lifestyle freedom, then an online business is really one of the very best ways to achieve this dream.
You Must Learn How To Do It Right
Without some proper training and guidelines to follow you will be shooting in the dark. To set up a successful online affiliate marketing business it is wise to first seek training and support from a very helpful and active community of likeminded people.
I trained with a company called Wealthy Affiliate and I’m still an active member there after all this time. Their easy to follow training showed me the right path to success in this business and now I can travel anywhere I want anytime I want and still make money along the way.
Wealthy Affiliate is free to get started and check out the first 10 levels of the training. Apart from the training the community of members there is very knowledgeable and helpful, and that’s why I’ve remained a member long after I completed all the training and set up my online business.
I’ve written a complete review of Wealthy Affiliate here.

Hey Darren,
I like your explanation on exactly what affliate marketing really is. I think affliate marketing can be great source of passive income once you have established a good and sound niche website. After the first initial grind at the start it seems to payback over time. But the first initial grind is were it all counts.
Hi Vinnie. You are right, it is a grind at first, but after a while all that initial hard work starts to pay off and it just keeps growing from there.
Hello Darren
Very well put together article on working from home.
A lot of people would like to work from home but don’t really know how to get started and when they browse the internet for information on how to they are most likely directed to one of the countless scam site.
When I first started I was no different from the rest and was scammed a few times before an article such as yours pointed me in the direction of Wealthy Affiliate.
That was three years ago now and I can say without hesitation I have never looked back.
I’m sure that other readers of this article will take what you say onboard and at the very least have a look at whats on offer and at no cost to them they would be getting a real good deal.

Wealthy Affiliate is a great deal and one of the few training platforms you can check out for free first. Thanks for stopping by, Robert.
