Does This Sound Like You?
Does this sound familiar?
I don’t go to gatherings every weekend, because the effort of talking to all of those people is exhausting to me.
I prefer to quietly observe people in social situations. You can learn a lot about what motivates people just by watching them interact.
If this is you, you’re probably searching for that perfect business that allows you to deal with people only when you want to. Am I right?
There is no shortage of the “10 best business start-ups for introverts” lists. You’ll find quite a few, but look at them closely. A lot of these online businesses still require you to network, to find people who are interested in your business, etc.
You are searching for that perfect business that allows you to:
- maintain anonymity (anyone not want your day job co-workers to know what you are up to?)
- work your own hours
- not deal with whiny people if you don’t choose to
So does this holy grail exist?
Yes, we’ve been there and done that too. We can point you to the best-of-the-best in terms of business ideas and the training you need to get started.
Without a doubt, I would say that blogging and affiliate marketing are the best fits for our personality.
Which one is better? They both work, and I would always recommend multiple streams of income. So don’t rule either one out.
However, if you are just getting started and looking for the quickest way to make money, start with Affiliate Marketing. Why affiliate marketing?
The Benefits of Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing allows you to recommend great products or courses that other people have created. You get a commission when they purchase. This allows you to focus on site building and traffic generation. While you are building traffic, you can make money off of that traffic.
You may even decide that you don’t want to create your own products to sell, and you’re happy just being an affiliate marketer.
Do keep in mind though that statistics prove that selling your own product or course is the best route to big money. Keep that on your roadmap.
How To Get Started With Affiliate Marketing
To get started, you will need to set up a small niche website focused on your affiliate product of choice. This will require some keyword research, a little bit of SEO and to speed things up you can always use some paid traffic to get started.
What are the income possibilities? What if I told you one site might only earn you $100 a month. Would you walk away from this opportunity or would you build lots of sites making $100 a month?
What if I told you some sites could make several thousand a month? Sounding better?
Whether a site makes a few hundred or a few thousand a month, keep this in mind. Given the right products, you build this site once and the income is very passive. Think of it like real estate that brings you rental income every month.
