Is Working From Home Real?
I get this question almost daily…
“What the hell do you do?…and how do you work from home?”
I guess that was really two questions, but they are the most common ones I get from people I meet, friends and even sometimes family members. They cannot for the life of them understand how I sit at home on my computer and earn enough to live.
So how does someone work from home and make a living? I mean, I know exactly how I do it, but what would be the best and easiest way to describe to someone without a CLUE what I do.
I help people find stuff they already know they are looking for.
That is what I do! Thank you [as I take a bow].
Really, if you think about this concept, it is nothing new. Somebody walks into a grocery store looking for food, the grocery has that food and likely other things to “lure” them into buying more.
Take it one step further…and something a bit more relevant to what I do. Somebody goes to their local furniture shop looking for a sofa. The furniture store just happens to have someone that will tell them and show them the best couch for their tastes. They hum and haw and finally buy the big red couch for $10,000. They are happy because they bought a couch they liked. The sales rep is happy because he probably got $1,000 commission.
That is basically what I do…minus the “selling part”. I intercept someone when they are typing in something they are looking for. How do I know this? Because I target a specific keyword and my ad only gets displayed when that keyword is search.
So, I can take a keyword like “how to play music in one week” and then I can deliver an ad under that keyword when someone actually goes to Google and searches it. Then I can put together a web page that outlines the best ways to play music in one week (help them out). Then I make a couple of recommendations from there…maybe a guitar, some lesson manuals, video training, and maybe even a personal coach or two.
So how do I get paid?
Companies that sell guitars, sell the manuals, sell the video training and sell the coaching have what is called affiliate programs. This is a program that allow ANYONE the promote their products. The reason they do this is so they can have an army of people promoting them to the 1 BILLION plus people with Internet…instead of having to have 1,000 employeed marketing executives. They only have to pay if someone earns them money.
AND I AM THAT SOMEONE!
I don’t own a product. I don’t support any product. I don’t know how to build a product. But I do know how to help people out and point them in the right direction. That is how I work from home…and how I made it a reality in my life. That is also how 10,000′s of Internet marketers do it. Really simple business and I hope this helped explain it to you.
I help people online, make recommendations, make people happy, and make money in the progress.
DIS IS DEE LIFE!

I agree…making money online is an idea that most people still can’t wrap their heads around even after I explain it to a T. It does work, it is automated for the most part, and it is much easier and cost efficient than starting ANY offline business…by a country MILE!
Thanks for your feedback Luis.

You need to decide first how you are going to promote your travel products. Travel as a whole is a real biggy to tackle. You may want to lose the huge niche and crack this down to a much smaller niche, for example, Paris hotels, or extreme adventure vacations in south america…maybe even dieting while you travel? There are much smaller niches you can think about and will give you much more to work with.
I do recommend getting training. I offer my free course on my homepage (if you subscribe to my list), or you can consider joining Wealthy Affiliate…the ultimate Internet training spot IMHO.
