Surfing the internet is my favourite pastime. But each time I see a dotcom doing well or people claiming that they make money online it causes me to wonder, how? My junk mail received from other bloggers, who offered every opportunity you can imagine, one such being writing on my own web page.

I began to wonder what I could do to make this my major source of earning. I ran the rat race every day, lived the politics and survived it, but did I want to? However, I was puzzled how to go about it and also apprehensive.

This apprehension came from not understanding the how people support their families online. I received a mail showing me that this person earned more than my year’s salary though a home income. Her advice was that anyone could make money blogging about adwords and insurance.

I learned to setup my blog and begin a residual income. Yes for the first four weeks my wife and I thought we were wasting our time waiting for our computer to transform into a cash register for us but it did not. Having a researcher’s mind I began to study other people’s blogs and learned that they indeed had a consistent home income opportunity.

I even called a few and interviews them, asking for guidance and they were very kind to me, one of them suggested I subscribe to newsletters to get the workings. As I am a family man I was conscious of what I am doing. The light came to me on the second weekend of my learning in the form of a free link teaching how earn a living online.

This link offered an opportunity, which taught to set a freelancing account on a website where programmers and writers could get jobs. I was elated at this first discovery I joined the site as a software developer. This was just the beginning; I found the best home opportunity for me.

One of the paths, which opened up to me, was Affiliate Marketing with Click Bank and other sites; this was the first time I had earned , 000 in a month, I was thrilled. The affiliate marketer gives each one of these affiliates a unique link, which they place on social media; send in mails, through podcasts, etc. You earn your commission as an affiliate if a person joins the affiliate network via your link or the product is sold.
