1. Affiliate Marketing
One very popular low investment home-based business model is affiliate marketing. From the comfort of your home, you can help product merchants market their products and earn a commission for your efforts. You can do this profitably since you don’t have to incur costs on warehousing of products, renting office space, staffing and shipping products to buyers. What you do is to simply select a niche, build an audience, gain their trust, and suggest to them the right products to buy. For effective products promotion, you can create a website and write product roundups, buying guides, and product reviews all with a view to helping people make an informed decision about what product will be right for them. If these people access your recommended products via the affiliate links on your website, you earn the commission for whatever purchases they make thereafter. Alternatively, you can join a reputable affiliate network program like Strong Future International, SFI, and work from home. On this program, you earn income like all the affiliates on their network.
