There are quite a few ways that you can make money using your computer. One of the most important things you will need is a good computer. Another thing to consider, if you plan to spend quite a bit of time on your computer, is a high speed internet connection.
Another very important thing you will need is anti-virus or spy-ware to protect your computer. If you do a lot of downloads and uploading, to your own PC, you need to make sure you have excellent protection from the potential virus threats out there that you may face on a daily basis. The web is a great place to shop but it is also, a great place to make money as well.
You will need to get yourself setup with a website which is not difficult at all. It will make it much easier for future clients to visit you, and see what you have to offer. You will also need to setup an auto-responder on your website which is very easy. This will track potential customers who visit your website, and enter their contact details. This way you can stay in-touch with them via email.
Once you have your website and auto responder setup, you can start writing articles and submitting them to article websites such as "Article Base", and "Hub Pages." There are many sites you can submit your articles to. You can also post them on your own website or blog.
What I have found that works best for me is affiliate marketing. I use affiliate marketing to add commission-based advertising to my own websites. Every time a visitor views my site, and clicks on an ad, or makes a purchased on the site, I receive part of the funds from that sale, as commission. Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective ways to make money on the internet.
If you go to my website, (shown below), you can sign up for a free course that teaches you how to do all this for yourself. There are ten lessons, and it is called "The Mad Marketing Method". It is absolutely free to enroll in this program. The course will teach you a lot about affiliate marketing, and perhaps you will earn a little money along the way If you follow the course through all ten lessons.
In May, I enrolled in Wealthy Affiliate University. This is a group of over ten thousand members, who all work together to achieve success. W.A. gives you all the tools and training you will need in order for you to succeed. They teach you everything about affiliate marketing, and provide you with all the tools and resources required for success.
I have explored many of the sites out there in cyberspace today, that proclaim "They will make you rich overnight". However, As you probably already know, the majority of these "Get Rich Quick Websites", are just a scam. I have found that Wealthy Affiliate is for real, and I will stake my reputation on it. They will not only teach you how to become successful, the fellow W.A. members will help you along they way.
If you are interested in a second-income stream, W.A. will show you everything starting with setting up your own website in just a matter of minutes. They will also host your website on the internet for free. You are shown how to setup the auto responder, allowing you to identify and receive repeat traffic on your web site. Since I have joined Wealthy Affiliate, my internet business has skyrocketed! I highly recommend it for anyone who has time to devote to building their own internet marketing business as a second source of income.

My family and I live in a suburb of Las Vegas, Nevada. I have retired from the gaming industry where I worked in casino management for the past 20 years. Prior to that I owned my own manufacturing company for 6 years. Before that I had top management and engineering positions going back to the Apollo and Space Shuttle projects. Now that I have retired, I am starting to get an internet marketing business off the ground. This is my first attempt at a blog, but I realize I will need one to become successful in internet marketing. That is why I joined Wealthy Affiliate University.
