How to Build an Online Business With No Computer Experience:

It is no secret that there is money to be made on the internet. Why should the younger generations be the only ones to take advantage of this incredible resource? Many people that lack computer experience feel that they do not have what it takes to make money online. This is not true.
The truth is, many of the young entrepreneurs, which have grown up using computers, fail miserably when they try to make money online. A big part of this is because they think that they know everything. Yes, they may have an advantage when it comes to certain aspects of the business, but the people with less experience typically pay more attention to what they need to be doing, and not what they are telling themselves will work.
Making money online takes work, there is no question about that. Anyone that tells you otherwise is trying to take advantage of you.
So how does someone with no computer experience build an online business? Well, the first step is to decide on a product or service that you would like to market. There are more options than anyone could keep track of, so this can be challenging. The important things to look for are;
- A product or service that you believe in. You will have a lot more luck marketing a product that you actually support, than trying to push something on people that even you wouldn't use.
- A quality compensation plan. Make sure that the company pays well, and provides you with an opportunity to create residual income.
- A support team. Most companies offer some sort of training. This is great, but pay more attention to the specific people that will be helping you build your business. You want to be a part of a team that really focuses on your success, which is what any quality business team will do.
OK, once you have your business, it's time for the scary part. You need a website. A lot of companies will tell you that the way to build your business is word of mouth, and they will teach you how to meet people in the mall. This is how it was done years ago, because that was the best option. You will expose your business to a lot more people online. Also, you will reduce or eliminate the constant rejection that people building a word of mouth business deal with. Most companies will give you a website when you join them. This has it's advantages and it's disadvantages. If you team is quality, they will help you build you own, personalized website. This gives you a lot more options.
Marketing 101. If you work on this action step, you will pass all of the know it alls that do not understand how important this step is. Marketing is how you get people to your website, which means it is how you get your business in front of people.

  • The Internet represents the largest marketplace in the world. You can sell to any part of that market seamlessly.
  • The opportunities available online are almost endless, millions of people are using the Internet to make extra money at home.
  • Many have turned their hobbies or passions into home based businesses. Many of these businesses have become the main source of income.
  • The barriers to entry are very low, many times costing very little or no upfront outlay of funds.
  • You can start with no product, no website, and no experience. You don't even have to sell!
Here are a few of the business models people are using to earn extra money at home.
  • Article Marketing - Article marketing involves writing short articles related to a specific market, industry, or product, and posting those articles to article directories (usually free). Other people come to the article directories looking for content they can post on their websites. These articles which include the author's resource box, usually containing a brief bio of the author, a byline, contact info or links to the authors site or offering. Well written and freely distributed articles, are often published on multiple websites, and have the potential to draw new customers to the authors business of offer.
  • Affiliate Marketing- Affiliate marketing in its simplest form involves a merchant contracting with an affiliate sending traffic or prospective buyers to the merchants product offering, or website, if the prospect does make a purchase, a commission is paid to the affiliate. Affiliates are usually free to use whatever legal means available to advertise the merchants offering, these methods include, article marketing, search engine optimization and marketing, e-mail marketing, display advertising, product review sites, and offline advertising.
  • CPA or CPL Marketing - CPA (Cost Per Action) The advertiser in this online advertising model pays a fee for a specific action, this could be a sale (credit card transaction), or just information submitted, (e-mail address, name, phone number etc.) also known as CPL (Cost Per Lead). These advertising models are good for the advertiser because they only pay after they get the action requested. This works for you (the publisher) because all you have to do is deliver traffic or viewers to the ad.
These are only a few of the ways to make money from home via the Internet, what these 3 have in common, is that there is very little or no cost involved in getting started, you may not need a website, you don't need your own product. You send prospects to the advertiser, after the prospect buys or supplies the requested information, you make money. What would be a reasonable expectation?
  • Put a little effort and time into finding a model you will like, and learning how to do it. At the very least you should expect some extra cash.
  • Once you get up to speed on one method, branch into something else, the more income steams you have, the more income is possible.
