Choose an Internet Income Opportunity


Have you ever looked for an internet income opportunity? Have you ever wanted to be your own boss and work from home? I know I had thought about that many times, but I was like "most common working men" and I was tied up working an 8 to 5 job. My thoughts were only a dream, like so many others dreams. But, that was about to change for me.

In the summer of 2008, I was out of a job. The economy was going downhill. Nobody was hiring. Things looked pretty bleak. When the plant that I was working at as a senior operations manager decided to shutdown, I was not that distressed about it. After all, I had two college degrees and I had been a senior manager for 20 years. I would be able to find another job - I thought. But, I was wrong! Nobody was responding to my resume. No income. I had to find something.

That's when I read an article written by an internet marketer named Jeff Johnson. Jeff is the owner of a network marketing internet business. He said that "most people dream about working from home, but most never take the action to actually make that happen". Online internet marketing from home is possible for anyone to do. All you have to do is learn the ropes".

I thought about what Jeff had said. I was not sure exactly what this internet income opportunity was, so I decided to do some internet research. I found out that billions of dollars are spent on the internet buying everyday used items and that the market was growing rapidly. Did you know that in 2006, $95 billion worth of products were sold on the internet? That figure went up to $175 billion in 2007. It was estimated that the number would reach $267 billion in 2008 and the forecast for 2009 was $400 billion. That's huge growth! Maybe, I thought, this was a possibility.

On my own, I started studying online internet marketing. I did hundreds of Google searches. I read about pay-per-click advertising. On my next click, I was reading about social bookmarking. Next, it was SEO optimization. Article advertising. Article submission. Blogging. Google AdSense. Then, back to pay-per-click. There was so much to learn that it was overwhelming. And, there was no structure -nothing to follow. After three months, and still no income, I decided to go in another direction. I invested a small amount of money in an online marketing course called ProfitLance.com.

The ProfitLance.com course was just what I needed. It provided a structure for learning this internet income opportunity. The course starts with the basics and builds upon that until you have a firm understanding of the subject. I studied many different areas of internet marketing including pay-per-click advertising, writing sales copy, Google AdSense, traffic generation, affiliate marketing, SEO optimization and a number of others. Profit Lance is a library of information dedicated to online internet marketing.

It took me two months to completely study the entire Profit Lance course. But, I didn't wait until I finished the course to try my hand at online marketing. I made my first sale four days after purchasing ProfitLance.com. I made enough money off that one sale to pay for the entire course. And, after that, my income continued to grow.

I am a firm believer in that "the more you learn the more you earn". So, having finished Profit Lance, I started looking around for something else to help me add to my knowledge. In one of the forums that I had been visiting (work-at-home-forum.com) I had seen favorable information about another course called the Wealthy Affiliate. I visited the site, liked what I saw, and invested in it with hopes of increasing my internet income opportunity.

The Wealthy Affiliate is an online marketing course that provides much of the same information as ProfitLance.com except that there is greater detail. That's why I like it. The Wealthy Affiliate also has its own online forum and that is a big help. Whereas the ProfitLance.com course is a one time buy, the Wealthy Affiliate has a monthly service charge. They are constantly adding to and updating the Wealthy Affiliate. Since I believe in "the more you learn the more you earn", paying a small monthly fee is not a problem since my business continues to grow.

It has been 15 months now and I am achieving that which I once thought was only a dream. I am running my own online internet marketing business. I am working out of my own home office, I am my own boss, and I work the hours that I want to work. If I want to, I can do this job from anywhere in the world. And, you too can find your own dream. My strongest advice is not to think that you can do it by yourself! Find someone or something to help you learn the "ropes". There is a lot to learn. There are a lot of "secrets to this game".

Now, go choose your own internet income opportunity.
