The ways to make money with computer

There are many ways to make money with a computer. We will discuss several of them as well as one of the newer methods that you may not be familiar with.

The method of making money with a computer that is used the most is where you develop or buy a product or service, create a website, set up an autoresponder to follow up and then advertise, market and promote to drive traffic to your web site. This method usually takes the longest to do and is or can be quite expensive. Probably the most important thing that needs to be done to be successful is the driving of traffic to your website. Many people don't know how to do this and those that do usualy spend a lot of money until they begin to make substantial money.

Another way to have online income with internet marketing is called affiliate marketing. Thousands of companies will pay you a commission to sell their products and/or services. You can become an affiliate at no cost. Some promote without a website and autoresponder but only about 5% make any money this way. When someone visits your company's website from your advertising very few will buy the first time and need to be followed up many times until they finally buy something. If you don't drive traffic to your own web site where you can capture their name and email address and then follow up with an autoresponder, the company is the only one that benefits because they can do their own follow ups and you may not earn a commission.
