Best Online Opportunities – Cutting Through The Garbage
There are literally hundreds of proven ways to make money online. Each has its unique advantages and disadvantages and I have come to realize that their is something on the internet for just about everyone. I personally prefer to get out there and interact and build friendships with others.
In my own analogy, there are two basic lanes to make money on the information highway an they are categorized by level of interaction with people. On the one hand, you have less interactive, more transactional opportunities and on the others side you have highly interactive opportunities.
I’ll share briefly what I believe to be the advantages and disadvantages of both of these lanes and let you decide. On the more transactional side you have affiliate marketing and on the interactive side you have online direct sales and network marketing (MLM).
Starting with affiliate marketing, the major advantage that I see is the time freedom and the ability to run your business on auto-pilot without the need to train or assist others besides occasional questions or emails you may get regarding a product or service you are promoting.
The downside to this could be if you are working from home alone you may become rather lonely and withdrawn. You could also lose focus or motivation if you aren’t someone that works well alone. Interacting in forums and social networking can reduce some of the isolation associated with this model.
Now in a direct sales or network marketing (MLM) you are building teams and helping other build teams and so on. The friendships and business relationships built in this environment are great and can get with your personal growth and the overall development of your business.
The flip side is that you are consistently required to recruit new members because of the high attrition rate. Many people quit these programs within ninety days of getting started and most don’t make any money during that period which means neither do you. Having a strong screening process to recruit top talent and committed business minded people is key.
There is not perfect business on the internet and your long term goals and comfort level will help you decide which direction to go. Keep in mind that in the online world you must learn to market effectively and attract massive amounts of interested people to you or your website to be successful. With this skill, you can market anything you choose and find great success.
Good website Traffic is the 8-cylinder engine that drives every internet based business on the planet. Best of luck in your business and I wish you all the success you deserve.
