Some people get started working online to make a little extra income.  Some are drawn in by the claims that you can make enormous amounts of money on the Internet.  But can you really?  Or is this just a myth?  Many people who work corporate jobs are starting online businesses.  With corporate jobs, it isn't unusual for you to have to work quite a few hours as you move up the corporate ladder.  Sure you make more money as you advance in your career, but if you are salaried, you often work a lot of overtime for the same pay.  The great thing about the Internet is that you can often work whenever you want to.  Once you put in your time and get your online business started, they can practically run themselves.   This means you have the ability to make as much or more than working in a corporate job, but you don't have to work as many hours.  It isn't unusual for those with established online businesses to work about 50% as much as those who don't. 

Affiliate marketing is a very popular way to make money online.  This basically means you market for companies on the web.  The great thing about this is that you don't have to worry about customer service, inventory or shipping.  You just bring the customers to the companies you are marketing for and they pay you a commission for sales or leads.  Once you get your business running on a small scale and it is profitable, you automate it and then you work on increasing traffic.  More traffic means more profits, with the same amount of effort. 

So, how do you get started?  There are many companies online that will teach you everything you need to get stated in affiliate marketing.  This is the easiest way to do it.  Once you get started, you can branch out into other areas if you want to.  Many people start their Internet businesses while they are working a full time job.  The flexibility of the web allows you to work evenings or weekends while you are getting started. 

There are a few things you should remember when starting an online business.  Read as much as you can.  There are lots of articles and forums online, but the best way is through ebooks.  You learn more, faster with ebooks, because people are more willing to share their secrets to success, when you are paying them. 

The other thing to remember is to never give up.  Keep experimenting and testing to find out what works and don't forget most people fail before they eventually succeed.  This is normal when starting anything new.
