Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/8/2006 -- There's no place like home... to earn a living. Over 27 Million Americans are now working from home. The U.S. Department of Labor has predicted that number to double in the next ten years.

So how are all of these people getting paid to work from home? It's very simple in today's society with the help of personal computers, the Internet and affiliate programs.

Don't have a web site or product? Most work from home opportunities and affiliate programs will provide web sites and products to sell. How to get started:

Find an affiliate program or product and sign up. Almost all of the affiliate programs available will be free to sign up for. Many affiliate programs will have multiple products to promote. Most affiliate programs will also have pre-written advertising. This is a very big advantage for beginners.

Get creative and start authoring sales letters and promotions. This will give the promotion a more personal feel and the targeted leads will respond much better to personalized promotions.

When choosing a product, make sure to research the commission rates. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend a lot of time trying to promote things for peanuts. The Internet Marketing Center is one of the top rated and top paying affiliate companies that is free to join. The commission rate is over 60% of their net profits.

After signing up for an affiliate program, the next step is to drive traffic to the affiliate web site to make sales. Paid advertising is ok if there is a budget. For those with tight budgets, there are millions of ways to get free advertising online via free classifieds, blogs, web sites, banner and traffic exchanges, groups, boards etc...

Marketing along with consistency plus persistency will ultimately be your success! Just remember that like with any job, there is a learning period. Don't give up! Learning how to create wealth is just as easy as learning how to work a job (J.ust O.ver B.roke) and trade hours for dollars.
