By Dorothy J. Cowan


Most of us have a dream. We dream of financial freedom. We dream of one day packing in our jobs and being our own boss. We dream of working flexible hours and having a lot of money to go with it.

The good news is financial freedom can be yours with Affiliate Marketing. You can start your own home business very easily and at very little cost. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. This article will attempt to shed some light on the ways in which Affiliate Marketing differs from a conventional home business, and how one might take advantage of the great opportunity afforded by this type of business to gain financial freedom.

TIP! Use long-tail keywords to promote your affiliate product. To do this, search for your product using Google's free keyword tool. Never use a blog content auto-creator for your affiliate programs. You can use an auto-creator to write articles, but blogs are intended to have posts that are personal to the creator. People want a more personal feel, so try to post on your blog daily with something that is meaningful to yourself while on topic for your website. Only use your affiliate marketing programs affiliate link if you feel they'll add useful information to help your readers out.

Having pointed out this important similarity between a conventional business and Affiliate Marketing, I would say probably the greatest difference between them is the fact that a conventional business requires much more time and involves greater financial risk than Affiliate Marketing. A conventional business, even a very small business, usually requires a significant amount of time and start-up money, often resulting in the business owner getting into debt by taking out a business loan to fund the business. With Affiliate Marketing the risk is reduced significantly because there is no need for start-up capital.

In addition, creating your own conventional business can be extremely difficult and, unless you have your own mind-blowing idea, you are likely to face a lot of competition from other established businesses. The advantage of Affiliate Marketing in this regard is that all this is, to a large extent, taken care of for you. You market existing products produced by someone else. There is no need to create strategies to beat the competition. All this is taken care of for you when you join an Affiliate Program. All you need to do is concentrate on increasing your earnings by selling more of the goods and/or services that you are signed up to promote.

Perhaps one of the most desirable aspects of Affiliate Marketing is the privilege of being able to work from the comfort of your own home. The benefits of working from home are numerous. Three obvious ones are, firstly, there is no need to worry about commuting to work daily and having the right work wear. Secondly, you can schedule your work around your other commitments and work when you want and finally, if you have young children, you can be there to attend to their needs, whilst you work.

Many other benefits of working from home exist, although it is important to point out that there are some down sides to working from home, even though these are far outweighed by the benefits. Firstly, a certain amount of self-discipline is required. As one might imagine, it would be quite easy to spend a disproportionate amount of time on domestic matters and neglect the business. Secondly, although a lot of us may not like going out to work, the external work environment does provide us with the opportunity to socialize and interact with others. Human interaction is healthy for our minds and working from home to some extent goes against this.

In conclusion, I would say if you dream of quitting your job and really want to work for yourself then you can do it. All it takes is time and a commitment to succeed. By taking advantage of available affiliate marketing starter programs, you can be up and running in no time and at
