I started in Affiliate marketing and it was a very inauspicious start, I can tell you. However, over time and with effort, determination and fortunately, some good advice, I managed to make a modest living online. After learning almost everything hard way, I decided to write an ebook guide/tutorial about how to get an Affiliate home based business off ground and working – with minimal financial risk. It has been received well but it’s still early days.

I like to think it’s received well because I don’t promise ‘fortunes’ and I only tell people that it’s POSSIBLE for them to achieve their dream of working from home, while earning a reasonable income, if they work at it, follow some simple rules and apply some important principles. That’s all I am willing to say. I certainly can’t ‘guarantee’ anything or promise success in any form. It wouldn’t be fair and I don’t see how anyone else can when it’s almost entirely up to person as to how successful they’ll be. It calls to mind old adage. “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink”. You can advise, instruct, suggest and demonstrate but ultimately it’s up to individual.

I know there are people who have managed to make ‘super money’ on Internet but believe me they are exceptions. They are truly extraordinary rather than ordinary. They are ones who are ‘lucky few’ because they have done something extraordinary. All I, and most of other five percent, have done is work at something hard enough with devotion and determination is takes to make money with a Home Based Business online.

In closing, I must say that there are some very good Home Based Business opportunities on Internet and they can be quite lucrative for right people, but figures would suggest that only five percent of us are ‘right people’. If it’s not going to cost you a large amount of money or a commitment of ongoing fees or subscriptions, by all means, give it a try but be very careful if you’re asked to fork out a large amount on promise of an unbelievably huge return. Of course, schemes that promise outrageous and cost nothing are relatively harmless. They can only cost you time. However, if anyone does come across one that does return huge amounts for little or no outlay, please drop me a line!

I really wish aliens could help me earn $10,000 per month as much as I wish all those other promises were feasible but alas, it’s called ‘Work at Home’ because that’s what you have to do. You actually have to ‘work’. So next time you see a promise or a guarantee that looks a little outrageous, remember my ‘Aliens’ claim and have a laugh.
