Google Ambush - Why a Home Based Business

Let’s face it, these are tough economic times. Wall Street is hemorrhaging money, banks are not lending, and the government has just spent over $700 billion dollars of your money to help bail out some of the largest companies in the world. Putting aside gas prices for a minute, the price of pretty much everything has gone up in the last few months making it more difficult for families that were already struggling to make ends meet.

So what can we do? Aside from getting another job, or winning the lottery, there aren’t many conventional alternatives (not that winning the lottery is conventional) to generate more income. Sure there are hundreds if not thousands of different money making “opportunities” on the internet, and I’m sure you know at least one person who has tried network marketing (more commonly known as multi-level marketing) and offered to show you how to “secure your financial future”. The question is, do any of these programs really work? To be honest, yes… and no.

So let’s talk about the internet. How does one go about achieving the success we see advertised almost everywhere? Simple, you don’t. Most of these opportunities are just variations on a theme: build a website and sell advertising on it. Well that’s great in theory, but lets face facts, there are millions upon millions of websites out there and more being created everyday. The odds are you aren’t going to be able to create the next MySpace or Yahoo. So where does that leave the rest of us?

Now don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot easier to create a website now than it was even just a few years ago. When I first got started in Internet Marketing having your own website was a huge deal, now with the advent of free site builders (most of which are free) anyone can have a presence on the web in just a few minutes. However the key thing that most of these opportunities leave out, is that it’s not creating a website that makes money, its generating traffic to that site that creates income. You can have the greatest website ever created, without traffic it may as well not even exist.
