The Internet has made it so easy and inexpensive for us to start a home based business today. For about $50 we can register a domain name, grab a years worth of web hosting services and put up a web site that can let the world know about us. Let’s see how easy it is to start a home based business.
Let’s say for example that you have a 2 year old child and that over the last two years as a new parent you have learned how to do a lot of things inexpensively or in a unique way. You know that a lot of your friends also have tips and tricks to share as well. Your family income could use a boost but you can’t go to work because financially it would just not work out with the extra travel, baby care and food costs so you want to make some money from home. So you decide to start a home based business. Here’s a simple plan on how to setup an inexpensive Internet home business.
First you will need a web site. I use www.rd-webhosting.com who for $45.00 a year will register a domain name and provide all the tools you need to get a money making web site up on the Internet. You can find other web host that offer the same services if you check around. What you want to find is one that offers a package called WordPress. WordPress is a blogging software package that allows you to type up articles and have others read and comment on them. WordPress is very easy to use. The support is also outstanding. Their website www.wordpress.org has a lot of easy to understand support and training on how to use and modify it. The folks at RD-Webhosting will also help in setting up WordPress. Now technically this is just about all the software you need. There are some add-ons (WordPress calls the plug-ins) that you will need and they are free as well. Specifically, you are looking for one that supports Google AdSense. AdSense is program that places advertisements on your website and pays you a commission whenever someone clicks on one of the ads. The ads displayed are tied to the type of information on the page. So if you are talking about baby food, the ads will be related to baby food. This is income opportunity number one. To sign up for Google AdSense go to www.google.com and select Advertising Programs.
There are at least 10 different ways you can make money with a web site. Besides using AdSense, you can have banners placed on the site and get paid Everytime one is displayed and/or clicked on. We can put ads or articles from vendors we like and get paid a commission on sales (this is called an affiliate program). We can sell our own product or information and much more.
Now you have a web site up with WordPress installed. We need to put information on the site so that both people and the search engines will want to come back over and over again. If you like to write this is the easy part. Write up a few articles on anything related to your topic, in this case raising babies. These should be a couple hundred words or so. Stick to one topic per article. Post one or two articles everyday or so. If you can’t write, maybe some of your friends will help or you can search the web for articles. Just enter your terms in the search engine and see what comes up. Copy and paste. Please unless you are rewriting the article, leave the authors information in the article.
Next we have to advertise. This does not mean spending money. It means we have to start telling people about our site. So get on the web and start letting people know about it. All those other moms you know, submit your articles to the article indexing sites, such as Ezinearticles.com. In your email, add your website to your signature block. Everything you do should have your web site listed with it now. Over the next few weeks you will start to see income coming in from Google. The better you do at letting people know the more income you will make. I recently read an articles where one blog was making over $5000 a money just on AdSense.
This is just the start. As you become more comfortable with WordPress and your web site you can find more ways to promote the site and products that are related to it. Once you have a bunch of articles you can start your own newsletter or maybe even create an electronic book and sell it on e-Bay.

When you are a stay at home mum, it can be very difficult to make ends meet. Many stay at home mum’s make money using their computers on
the Internet. However if you are just starting out and want to find a way to make money online, make sure that you follow a strategy that works. There are many scams online especially for work at home mums.
One way that I know about and which worked for me was a web site called Squidoo. This is a free web site where you can write about your interests in life. You can apply to become an affiliate with Amazon.com, eBay.com and other affiliate programs. These web sites then pay you the commission each time someone buys something after reading your squidoo site and following your link.
Squidoo also pays money each month to people who have Squidoo sites high in their ranking. The best way to get started is to go to Squidoo.com and read all their information.
The next thing to do is to go to and look at other people’s Squidoo sites to get an idea of how to get started.
It might take some time to earn a good amount of money each month, however if you persevere you will do it.
I made over 100 Squidoo sites and at one stage was making more than $700 per month from Squidoo. Although I haven’t been working on my Squidoo sites for many months I still have an income from them each month. This is one way that I know that is genuine and does pay and can get you started in Internet marketing.
For many mothers who are at home with children, this is a great way to make extra pocket money each month
