So you’re wanting to earn an online income?  That’s great!  But do you know ‘how’ you want to make money online? Let’s look at these two very different routes and see which one suits you best.The Employed RouteI understand that many people don’t want the effort to set up their own online business or they are aware that they don’t have what it takes to make it on their own. For this reason many people are looking for jobs as an ‘employee’ but work from home on their PC. The only problem is that it’s easier said than done. Although I haven’t done a search for a while now looking for employment working from home, but when I did there was practically nothing available. Especially not to cover the millions of people who are actively searching for this kind of online income making the competition very fierce.The Self-Employed Route This is the end result for people wanting to make an income online. They’re sick of searching for non-existent jobs and eventually decide to set up their own little internet business. I definitely think that this is the right route to go down when wanting to make money online. However, you need to find the right business model for you and then you’ll have to learn how to sell and drive targeted traffic to your site. Don’t worry, it really doesn’t have to be complicated, just take your time and do it at your own pace and be willing to learn along the way.
