Mistake #1: Spend too much time and money on ineffective advertising methods

When I said ineffective advertising methods, I meant the methods that do not generate you any money. Some of them are safelist, traffic exchange programs, guaranteed hits purchasing programs, FFA (Free for all) programs.

All these ways of advertising will bring you traffic but un-targeted traffic. With this kind of traffic, you hardly get any sale.

In other words, your responsibility is to find out the ways which bring you targeted traffic. Before spending your valuable time and money on any kind of advertising methods, consider carefully if those methods bring you targeted traffic or not.

I have listed several good ways of Internet advertising in hope that they can help you a little bit in advertising your online home based business. They are article marketing, e-zine marketing (e-zine advertising and e-zine article), SEO (search engine optimization), Google Adwords.

Mistake #2: Don't have a website

Lots of people say that you might make money easily without owning a website. All you should do is to set the Google Adwords campaigns and put your affiliate link into 'destination link' box. Then, if someone clicks on your ads, visit the merchant site and buy items when they are at merchant site, you get paid.

Another 'advice' is to join affiliate program you like, and then put the affiliate link at the signature file when you post something on Forums, or message board. An online home based business is an invaluable asset to anyone looking to a better life that they have dreamed of. The income it offers will help just about any ordinary people live the lifestyle they want.

Frankly, these ways might generate several sales for you. But, they are surely a waste of time and money in the term of long-term internet income. Besides, having a website will give you a better chance to make internet income. For example, you can add more affiliate programs on your site or you can also put Google adsense code on your site to make money from Google.
