There are a big number of people who want to get rid of their boring jobs that don't really make them any money. I can't blame them and I used to be one of those people. At first I was just looking for additional income to support my girlfriends spending habits, but in the end I ended up quitting my job while I was making money from home. I did quite too soon but I have enjoyed my time as a self employed internet marketer. How did I make this happen?
Make Money With E-mail List Marketing
When you surf the internet and search for terms like "make money online" you will find a few groups of people. First there are people who build an empire by collecting e-mail addresses from people who find their way on the websites that they own. For example someone could build a website in a specific niche that had a e-mail submit form. You would subscribe to their mailing list where they would give you more advice and information on the subject at hand. These mailing lists can be quite efficient in many niches and if they are properly done, the people who are subscribed to them can get real information and useful offers.
Once someone would have a good mailing list that is targeted - means that these are people who are interested in a specific thing - the owner of the list would then start sending them periodic offers via e-mail about products that they could be interested in. Think about having 10 000 people who are all interested in mountain bikes, and then send them great offers about mountain bike apparel and accessories. A good amoun ot these people would convert in to sales - buy the product that you offer them - and in the making you would get a good comission. Here the hardest part of the work is to get a good targeted mailing list, and once you have that you can make money from home.
Make Money With Niche Websites
Another real way to make money from home is to build websites. Basically you will have to build the sites no matter which approach you use, because websites are the most prominent way of making money online. With niche websites you will have to focus in a specific at them. The more targeted the crowd the better the conversion rate usually. What this means that if you have a website that is focusin on mountain bikes, chances are that 5% or 1% or the visitors there are going to click on an ad and even less of them are going to purchase a products. But if your website is very targeted and you are only focusing on reviewing the best mountain bike pedals with locks, a larger percent of the visitors are going to be interested in just that. The problem is that the crowd of visitors is going to be a lot smaller, but a lot easier to sell to. Someone looking for mountain bikes, might be just to browse some pictures, look for information, and maybe even try to find a discussion forum or something similar. People looking for the best pedals are definitely searching for something to buy.
Making Money With Seo
There is a lot of debate on which is the best way to get traffic to your website, and there is a group of people that will tell you that the best way to do it is to be social. That would mean that you would go in to every possible mountain biking related website, social group (Facebook groups, Twitter, forums) and try to establish your position as an expert. When that is done you would simply throw in a link to your website every now and then trying to get people to read your posts and then maybe make a purchase every now and then. It is a great plan and in a perfect world we could all do that. The problem is that not all of us are that social, and even if we are, we can't please everyone, or we just don't want the publicity. Ther is an option that can help you make money from home, and that is called search engine optimization.
The more targeted your website is to a small niche, the easier it is going to be to get search engine traffic for search terms that are related to that niche. So ithis means that if you are interested in mountain bikes in general, you would start ten to fifteen websites that are all focused on a single part of the bikes. This way you could serve ads and offers for those specific parts - the people on your website would be looking for that particular part, and they would find your site about it.
Once you have finished the website, you are going to have to obtain backlinks pointing to that website, with anchor texts that are appropriate in your niche. So if you decide to start a website on bike pedals and you publish a lot of articles on places like infobarrel.com and ezinearticles.com with links pointing to your website, you want the anchor text to be "bike pedals" or something similar. You don't want to link out with an anchor that is "website" or "click here". The anchor text is what matters to search engines, since they can define what your website is about based on that text.
Building an additional income from home is not an easy project, although it might be simple. It is jsut a matter of locating a low competition niche, building a website, and then building backlinks to it.Once you have done it successfully with one website, you can repeat the process with another website, and you are on your way to making money while sitting in your home. This can be quite low maintenance once it is done, and you can spend months without really working, and not see a dent in your income.

I definitely build a ton of websites (both niche and super) and use a lot of SEO techniques. I have never though don't email list marketing although I could see it being quite profitable as I always hear about things that interest me through crappy email lists I signed onto a million years ago like stuff from John Ledger. They seem to flog a lot of junk, but if people trusted you (and some saps seem to still trust them) I can see it being a good business to be in.

Do you use a software program to capture the emails, just store them on excel, or sell them directly as they come in to advertisers?
