Can You Make It As Your Own Boss In 2013?

By Russell Howe


There are several ways to make money online in today's society and in today's article we shall compare two of the most popular options. Most folks have tried to turn a favorite pastime into an income at some stage in their lives, but with affiliate programs like Empower Network presenting the opportunity to create an online business without needing to develop a product, which option is superior?

One of the things which really exploded thanks to the internet is the home based business industry. Previously if you wanted to turn a hobby into an income you had to earn qualifications and start a business in the high street. Nowadays, however, if you are prepared to learn how to market your skills on the worldwide web you can have a business up and running in no time at all.

The main problem with a lot of individuals who dream of becoming their own boss, unfortunately, is that they don't have the determination to put in the hard work in order to gain the recognition they need to turn that favorite pastime into a solid income. If you possess the drive to make it happen, however, then the online world really is your oyster.

All the internet really does is to provide you with a platform to launch your idea. How far you go will depend how much effort you put into developing your dream. Free methods of traffic are everywhere, from Twitter and Facebook to Youtube. The online age has presented a great opportunity for those who aren't afraid to apply themselves.

For those of you who don't have a favorite hobby or interest you'd like to pursue as a potential sideline career, there is always the option of becoming an affiliate for an existing company. In doing this, you earn an income for recommending the products of a certain brand to other people. Each time you successful enroll a customer you earn a percentage of the sale, which is determined by the company when you initially join.

It is possible to earn a great income via either method, with the affiliate option being the slightly easier choice as it gives the user ready made products and a brand name to work with. You'll need to put in a solid effort to see success with either method, though.

The common denominator which separates the successful from the unsuccessful is personal branding. If you have dreams of either becoming a leader in your niche or a top affiliate within your company, you need to learn how to separate yourself from the thousands of other individuals who are trying to do the same thing. Due to the fact that most people hope the internet is an instant solution to their problems, most people don't do any work on branding themselves, which makes it easier for those who are prepared to put in the effort.

This is where most people fail to put in the work when it comes to online marketing. Instead they buy into myths about secret formulas or miracle systems which claim to do all the work on autopilot. You cannot become your own boss unless you are prepared to work very hard on your chosen business opportunity.

At the end of the day the choice is yours. Some will find the idea of working with a brand such as Empower Network or Avon more appealing than starting a business from the ground level, whereas others like that idea. Either way, ensure you have enough time to focus on your ambitions if you truly want to reach the levels of success you dream of.
