The Power of the BLOG

Can a Blog earn you a prison sentence? Ask Mojtaba Saminejad. He is an Iranian whose Blog, published in the Farsi language, earned him a two-year prison sentence in June 2005.

The Key to Starting a Business Online

Many people wonder what the key to starting a new business online really is. I won't beat around the bush with you.

The key to starting a business online is simply to get started. This is the hardest part for anyone online or off-line to do.

I know. Easier said than done.

If you have the money, you can simply hire someone to do the job for you or you can do it yourself. If you do it yourself, there is simply no way around it. You have to give up a portion of your most valuable resource which is - time.

Affiliate Marketing: An Online Marketing Strategy

Everybody it seems can make money online. The simplest way perhaps is to make money online through affiliate marketing. If you have a website, you can list other people's websites on yours and become an affiliate, making money online through sales commissions every time someone goes to their site through yours and makes a purchase. You can make anywhere from 5% to 30% by just advertising their link.

Further, affiliate marketing allows you to make money online by earning commissions off sub-affiliates, people you have brought on to be affiliates of the parent company. These two-tiered affiliates may seem like a pyramid scheme, but the point is, it generates a tremendous amount of traffic to your site as well as to your partners' sites, which helps everyone make money online.
