Choose the Affiliate program. Part 1
In last post, we have discussed about choosing a subject for your work from home idea. This time I will talk about choosing the right Affiliate Program for your work from home idea.
Once you have determined a market you want to cater to, it’s time to choose the profit-generating machinery of this moneymaking process.
Basically you have 2 choices:
1. Either you choose an affiliate program; or
2. You join an affiliate network
What is the different? Let’s discuss them separately.
An affiliate program is one where the merchant directly employs an affiliate system to hire affiliates. The affiliates will deal with the merchant directly. There will be no third party, no broker to speak of. The merchant will be the one to distribute affiliate links, give away things to help in promoting the products, and finally, pay the affiliates their commissions.
An affiliate network, on the other hand, is a system which an affiliate can join. Upon enrollment, he will gain access to hundreds, if not thousands, of products from different merchants. He can choose which product to promote. The affiliate network serves as the broker between the affiliates and the merchants. The good example of affiliate network is clickbank at www.clickbank.com. Many people use clickbank and generate income from home.
Anywhere there are pros and cons for each choice.
Affiliate Network
The pros
An affiliate network is an excellent choice for people who can’t decide on what product to promote. With the numerous of choices presented by affiliate networks, and with the freedom to choose any product at any time, affiliate networks offer great opportunities for you to work from home.
The cons
Thousands, if not millions, of people share the same thought about affiliate networks.
This means thousands, if not millions, of competitors for you for any product you will choose under a particular affiliate network.
The secret to online success is actually quite simple. It can be summarized through the equation below…
high demand for a product + few competition = maximum profit
This is true for any business include work from home business.
Affiliate networks may offer a hot product, but if millions of affiliates will promote it, you chances of succeeding will be affected.
This doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t succeed if you’re enrolled under an affiliate network. With the succeeding lessons, you will learn how to elevate your game and emerge triumphant in the field of affiliate marketing even if you will be competing against millions of other affiliates.
Affiliate programs
The Cons
An affiliate program, quite obviously, will offer fewer products for you to promote. You’ll be limited to the merchant’s products only.
The Pros
However, affiliate programs employ fewer affiliates. This means less competition. And this further means greater chances to succeed.
Not satisfied with the sales rate of a particular product under an affiliate program’s banner?
No problem! You can join multiple affiliate programs! There is no limit as to how many affiliate programs you can join.
Better yet, almost all affiliate programs are free to join. They won’t charge you a single cent for your membership. After all, you are the one who will be helping the merchant sell his products. You are the one who has to be paid!
In part 2 on choosing the affiliate program, I will talk about how to identify the good and bad affiliate program. This is important to make sure your idea to work from home is a success.

Choose a subject(Work from home idea)
Today we will look at step number one of the first idea about work from home. The first thing that you need to do to get the work from home idea is choose a right subject. Making money online by working from home will seem less of a problem if you enjoy what you’re doing. This is also true in real world.
Many veteran Internet marketers will tell you that, first and foremost, you should try to identify a subject that you like. Something that you are actually interested in. Imagine creating a dog grooming business when you don’t even like dogs.
How will that venture fare?
Without the love and the passion you can't invest in any business, it will never reach its full potential. Furthermore, you’ll easily get bored with it. And once you get bored, maintaining your business will be worse than work, even though you are working from home.
The same applies for an online business. You should find a subject matter that you love, or at the very least, a topic that you like and also you can do it from your home
There are many fields that you can concentrate on. You like dogs? Maybe you can consider the broader subject of pets, or a more specific breed like Chihuahua. Better yet, concentrate on a more particular branch, like dog health or dog care.
Your choice of market will depend on a variety of factors:
• How well do you know the said market? Passion will bring you a lot of benefits, so might as well choose a market that you are passionate about from the very
beginning.
• How interested are you with the said market? Knowledge is an ongoing commitment. You have to update yourself CONSTANTLY so as not to get left behind with the latest trends and tactics in your particular industry. Might as well choose a market that you are interested in, to make the constant search for knowledge more enjoyable and fulfilling.
• What is the outlook for the said market? Naturally, you wouldn’t want to focus on a dying market, where the products you are trying to pre-sell have saturated the digital shelves. You want a HUNGRY market, one which will be able to sustain profitability for a long, long time to come. This brings us to the basics of economic success…
• How big is the demand of the said market? This is the first component of economic success, that demand should be high.
• What is the size of the competition in the said market? This is the second component of economic success: that supply should be low.
Low Supply + High Demand = Profitable Market
This is the ONE FORMULA you should remember when choosing a market. It’s the basic rule of economic success. It’s the secret of so many high-profit businesses throughout the ages. You see, high yielding enterprises are not born overnight, and neither are they born out of whim.
They are products of meticulous study and consistent hard work.
And it all begins from selecting the perfect market for their ventures.
There are many online tools that you can use to determine the variables at play with the formula above.
To determine demand, simply go to www.nichebot.com . Type in a subject you have in mind. You will then be taken to a page where a number of keywords and key phrases are suggested, together with the number of times they have been searched for in the search engines.
You will want to choose subjects with high numbers of searches.
My personal determinant is at least 1,000,000 searches per month. This will assure me that there are a substantial number of people very much interested in the said subject.
Now, finding a sub-topic that commands many searches is not enough. You need to determine how many websites are catering to it, since you’ll be operating on the Internet.
Run a search of the sub-topic at www.google.com . Look at the number of web pages that appear, as indicated on the top area of the results page.
If the subject commands 1,000,000 searches per month and there are 2,000,000 websites catering to the it, then the supply outweighs the demand and the chances of succeeding as an affiliate in such a field will be slimmer.
But if the subject commands 1,000,000 searches per month and there are only 2,000 websites catering to it, then you have for yourself a goldmine!
This is how you select a niche that you will use for home base business. Remember choose a subject that you like, so you will enjoy work from home. :)

Work From Home Idea : The definition
Base on the Wikipedia - The free encyclopedia. The work from home definination as below.
"Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working at home (WAH), or working from home (WFH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy limited flexibility in working location and hours. In other words, the daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by telecommunication links. Many work from home, while others, occasionally also referred to as nomad workers or web commuters utilize mobile telecommunications technology to work from coffee shops or myriad other locations. Telework is a broader term, referring to substituting telecommunications for any form of work-related travel, thereby eliminating the distance restrictions of telecommuting.[1] All telecommuters are teleworkers but not all teleworkers are telecommuters. A frequently repeated motto is that "work is something you do, not something you travel to".[2] A successful telecommuting program requires a management style which is based on results and not on close scrutiny of individual employees. This is referred to as management by objectives as opposed to management by observation. The terms telecommuting and telework were coined by American Jack Nilles in 1973.[3]
Long distance telework is facilitated by such tools as virtual private networks, videoconferencing, and Voice over IP. It can be efficient and useful for companies as it allows staff and workers to communicate over a large distance, saving significant amounts of travel time and cost. As broadband Internet connections become more commonplace, more and more workers have enough bandwidth at home to use these tools to link their home office to their corporate intranet and internal phone networks".
