By Claire Mercer

Making money from home and creating financial freedom so that you can spend your time doing what you love is something most people dream about. This article will discuss 3 ways to earn money online which will allow you to create a profitable home internet business.

1. Decide on a Business Model: To create anything of value it is best to have a plan. In advance of starting an internet business, you should decide on a business model. You'll want to decide between creating your own website to sell products or sending traffic to an existing sales page that will pay you a commission if there is a sale. Is there a product of your own you wish to sell or should you just sell another person's product?

If you create your own product to sell it is possible to take a bigger profit from the sales, however if you have no products in mind to sell it can be quicker to get a business off the ground by choosing to sell other people's products. After you have decided on the kind of business model you'd like your business to have, it is time to start working on it. If your business model changes over time to incorporate a product you have created that is fine. The most important factor with any business is to take action and to keep from getting lost in the details.

2. Choose a Method of Advertising: Having chosen a business model, it is time to choose which kinds of ways to advertise your new internet business. There are free advertising options as well as paid and it is possible to use more than one in combination. Pay-per-click and article marketing are great ways to drive traffic to your site and an additional way of making an income from your business is by adding Google Adsense to your website, when interested parties visit they may click on the ads which will make you money.

When you advertise with pay-per-click or article marketing it is important to choose keywords that are related to your topic. This will ensure that you get the right kind of people visiting your site. If you send people to your website who are not interested in what you have to say or what you are selling your profits will go down. Google Adsense results will do the same since uninterested parties looking for what your website or articles are about will be less inclined to click them since they aren't about their interests. Although Google Adsense is not a way to get people to your website, it is a great way to earn some additional income after they are there.

3. Reinvest Your Business Profits: Each time your business makes a profit, you can build your business that much quicker by choosing to reinvest those profits back into your business. Although many people would love to take those profits and use them for practical purposes, or simply have a shopping spree, by reinvesting them you are ensuring the overall success of your business. You will be able to create a much more lucrative business by doing this one simple thing.

It can be exciting to make sales and very tempting to spend your money, but if you can hold off from doing this for awhile and instead use that money for your business you'll be happy you did. By reinvesting in your business either by outsourcing or advertising you will be able to grow your business at a much faster rate. Use those paychecks towards your business and pretty soon you'll have more than enough and can spend it on whatever you like.
