Affiliate Marketing vs. Internet Based MLM
By Michael Noto

Affiliate marketing or internet based MLM? This is like asking Durant or Oden prior to last years NBA draft. Is there a right answer? No, obviously not. Does everyone have an opinion on the matter? Yes, and because of that it is hard to decide which is better for you. I have decided to ditch all of my affiliate marketing ventures for internet based MLM opportunities. I just wanted to be straight with you before you read this article. Hopefully by the end of this article you will see why I am so excited about online based MLM.

Ever since I was a little boy I knew that I wanted to own my own business when I grew older. When getting involved in affiliate marketing at a relatively young age I thought I was accomplishing that goal. I figured since I was my own boss and working when I wanted and where I wanted that I was somehow entitled to some type of real ownership. However, as my business acumen began to grow and I grew a little older I began to realize, I in fact did not own anything as an affiliate marketer. After the one time commission I made from a sale or referral I did not see anymore money from that particular transaction.

For some people that is all they want and all they strive for is to make some cash on the side. I on the other hand wanted to own a business system that would provide me with the lifestyle I wanted to live. When I was introduced to online MLM I knew I had found the opportunity I was looking for.

The main aspect of MLM that was appealing to me was the fact that I owned the business and I would be eligible to receive residual income that was not available to me as an affiliate marketer. Plainly put, I could do work once and be paid for it over and over again. Honestly what beats that? At the end of a day with an internet based MLM business I have a fully automated marketing system that will provide me with income for years and years to come. As an affiliate marketer what did I have left at the end of the day? Not much but a one time commission.

Well this is why I decided to switch the primary focus of my business ventures to online based MLM opportunities. Hopefully this article provided you with some help as to which business opportunity might be right for you. Remember, neither of these business models will prove to be successful if the MLM business owner or affiliate marketing rep does not have a strong work ethic, which is the foundation needed for success in any business model or program.

The author is obviously promoting a specific MLM, but many of his points are valid. The article ends with describing a need for strong work ethic. Unfortunately, work ethic is only the beginning. We hurt people by not explaining that proper tools and training are also vital. I promise there are plenty of people wanting to work from home that try hard, but never make it because they don’t have the necessary tools and mentoring. This is one reason that I highly recommend everyone read The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing. (It’s available in a free eBook form.)

Working from home can mean owning your own business or being employed by someone else. The following article discusses some of your choices.

Work From Home - Customer Service
By Rebekah Mack Bono

Are you looking for customer service work from home? Work at home employment that is legitimate, is much harder to find online than one might think.

There are some, however, not nearly as many as you would think considering the amount of interest there is in working from home. Research is key in obtaining legitimate employment. You also must weed through the many online scams. Many people who locate customer service work from home start out working in an office, but are able to make arrangements with their employer to work some or all of the time at home.

We all know someone who works part-time from the office and part-time from home in order to accommodate their children’s school schedules. People who have good relationships with their employers, are more easily able to negotiate flexible work schedules including at home employment.

There are companies that hire people directly to work from their homes. Many of these positions are those where you cover a territory for an insurance company or a consumer products or publishing company, for example, and spend some time on the road and some time in your home office. There are also jobs available in:

- Customer Service

- Recruiting

- Sales

- Technical Writing

- Telemarketing

- Virtual Assistant …and many more.

In many cases, the jobs are commission based, part-time or pay a flat rate for a completed project. Full-time jobs that provide health insurance, vacation, a pension and other benefits while you work full-time from home are few and far between.

Finding them online is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Flexibility is one of the most factors in finding home employment. If you are willing to consider freelance or contract work, or are willing to combine a couple of part-time positions, you will have greater success in locating work at home employment opportunities.

Customer service work from home is really like any other work from home job. If you have the skills and the right mindset, you just have to get out there and give it a good solid effort. If you do your research, and truly dedicate yourself to your work at home venture, you will succeed.

Program yourself right here and now, that quitting is not an option, and in one year from today you will look back and see just far you have come.

You can do this! There is nothing holding you back but you, so go out there and find your perfect customer service work from home job, or whatever you feel would be the best match for your skills.

Starting Your Work at Home Business The Right Way
By Samantha J Jane

There are disadvantages that must be recognized and dealt with, by acknowledging the disadvantages of an online home business, an entrepreneur can put together a much better business plan. With a better business plan, the home business is off to a good start. The right way to start a home business is to fully understand the difficulties that will be encountered along the way and make plans to overcome these difficulties.

Working while in your most comfy wear is attractive because a person need not spend time thinking about what to wear and some savings on the laundry. A work at home business demands no formal uniform which means that any online entrepreneur can wear anything he or she wants.

Unfortunately, what people wear affect their moods and their productivity levels. The comfy pajamas induce a person to laze around and sleep. To avoid this tendency to lower work productivity, the entrepreneur must plan on having a routine before starting to work on his home business. The routine may involve some exercise, a shower, and putting on comfortable and clean clothes.

Having no boss is another great attraction for those considering a work at home online business. No more senseless ideas, no unfounded and biased criticism and the best part, there is no one who will dictate orders on what to do. But this does not mean the entrepreneur answers to no one. As an employee, he or she answers only to the boss. With the work at home business, the entrepreneur becomes the boss and answers to a lot of people such as clients, business associates, and even the family.

In other words, the entrepreneur must still ensure that the set-up and systems of the home business must be working properly and efficiently. The clients must remain satisfied. The business associates must be given more income opportunities. And the needs of the family must be met. And finally, the flexibility of having an online home business makes the entrepreneur own his or her time. The home business owner can easily rearrange the work schedule so that other activities, such as doctor appointment and sporting activities can be done.

But the work needed for the home business does not disappear. If the home business owner spend hours watching television during the day instead of putting together an advertising strategy, he or she may need to stay up late at night to make up for the lost time. To prevent this from happening too often, the business plan should include work hours.

I disagree with the author’s opinion that working in your pajamas promotes laziness. If I am still in my P.J.’s at noon it is because I sat down at my computer and got so engrossed in my work that I didn’t bother to do anything else.  Although, I think working in the same clothes that you sleep in promotes imbalance. In other words, if you don’t have a daily routine that involves taking care of yourself, you may not ever get around to it.  Although you may be highly productive during the day, putting yourself last may backfire.
