Four Simple Business Models to Make Money From Your Home Business
By Rangarajan Chakravarthi
The choice of business model for your internet home business is influenced by your personal
preferences, the goals for your business, your financial aspirations, the business and technical
skills and the available funds you have at the beginning. There are many business models available
for you. Below, are four models which are very popular and profitable. The descriptions provided
will help you to choose the best model for your business.
1. Marketing your own products
This is the best method for your work at home business in the long run as you would be
marketing your own products and pocketing all the money. You will also be building your own
list and not helping others to build their lists. Once you have your own list of subscribers
you can develop profitable relationship with your list and market your products regularly thus
building your business steadily.
Your own products could be articles, e-books, audio and video content on CDs and DVDs
and coaching programs on niche topics created by you. You could also market products created
by others for which you have bought reselling rights. By outsourcing various tasks judiciously you
can overcome many of your limitations and implement this model successfully.
2. Affiliate Marketing
This is the most popular method followed by majority of new entrants into internet home
business since it is easier and faster to start earning with minimum investment than the previous
model. The main drawback is you don't have a list to promote the affiliate products. So you
have to rely heavily on paid traffic and the vendors will be building their lists from your
efforts. You can build your list also simultaneously with additional efforts. Another major
advantage with this model is you have no support problems to attend to as that will be handled
by the vendors.
3. Freelancing
If you have creative skills, like writing articles, graphic designing and converting
text files into audios or videos, but not inclined to marketing, then freelancing is an ideal
choice for your home business. Just sign up in places like freelance.com and you can get a
steady stream of orders. The big advantage in this model is you don't have to drive traffic.
Instead targeted traffic comes to you and your competition. By establishing yourself as a provider
of quality service on time, at competitive prices, you can expect to get regular orders.
4. Website Advertisement
Without getting involved in aggressive marketing, if you can set up a good website with
plenty of content and keep updating the content regularly you would create a platform for other
marketers to place their advertisements on your website to drive traffic to their websites.
You can also place affiliate links inside your content and ads. Both these will generate cash
for you. You can have AdSense, Amazon and ads from CPA networks in addition to the ads of products
you promote as affiliate on your website.
The two major tasks you should be doing regularly are updating the content and driving
targeted traffic to your site. It is important you understand the characteristics of your business
model thoroughly to succeed in your internet home business. You can install more than one
model after you gain some experience with your first choice.
