As many people have found out in the current economic slump having all your income eggs in one basket is not a good idea.

Many people who have lost their jobs also lost the only way they had to make money.

On the Internet it is possible to create multiple streams of income and a good way to do that is to build residual income streams.

Multiple streams of income just mean you’re earning money in more than one way. Residual income means you continue to get paid even when you’re no longer working.

This is also known as creating a walk away income and in the past was primarily promoted through network marketing.

MLM opportunities continue to be a great way to develop a residual income.

As a matter of fact more people are making money in network marketing than any time in history.

This is due primarily to how much easier it is to sell products on the Internet and to enroll new distributors.

Often times people join affiliate marketing because the merchant provides a website for them. Although this is a good way to start you eventually will want to set up your own website.

Here are a few different ways you can do that and the steps it takes to get going.

1. You want to host your own website as opposed to using a replicated website. This gives you complete control over everything and you can make changes to it any time you choose.

2. Find a hosting company that fits into your budget and has a proven track record of little or no downtime. The last thing you want is to arrange for free or cheap hosting and have your website offline and not making you money.

3. Most hosting companies will provide you with tutorials on how to build a website. Today this is very easy to do and you usually do not need to learn HTML code.

It can be summed in one word why it is so hard for people to make money on the internet.

SKILLS….

Well maybe I should say three words—Internet Marketing Skills!

Forget all the other things about choosing a niche,finding the right product,hiring a copywriter or setting goals, although these are all part of internet marketing.

What I am talking about are the same skills other business’s in the world struggle with. You need prospects, website visitors, traffic… etc.

This is why people do not make money online. Not enough eyes looking at their sites every day.

This should create a ‘DOH” moment for you.

If it takes eyes on your site to make money how do you do that?

99% of all Internet home business ideas fail because of lack of traffic. That is the hard part. That is what you are going to get paid to do.

You should and must develop internet marketing skills and become a professional internet marketer. At the very least you should be professional enough to get people to stop by your website and see what you have to offer.

First and foremost you should learn how to get traffic. Once you do that the other things fall into place.

I see websites that look rubbish but because of the shear traffic the owner is probably sitting in Hawaii drinking on the beach and laughing all the way to the bank.

You can perhaps have similar success with your home business but only when you develop internet marketing skills. And specifically this…

Develop skills on how to generate traffic and you will make money online too. If not then it will be a struggle for you.
