Meanwhile, every other guru article you read tells you none of this stuff works. Instead, you're supposed to be toiling 24/7 on some newfangled strategy that is even MORE complicated.

Unless you were a Computer major in college, most of this stuff is just too confusing and probably requires far more time than you have available.

But instead of coming to discourage you, I'm here with good news for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the bewildering mass of advice and claims online.

You CAN earn a fabulous FULL-TIME income with a business so simple a 5th grader could run it. You can make all the money you want and need WITHOUT a web site and WITHOUT a product.

The big boom in Internet business is based on one thing: lots of people can now EASILY work together to earn an income. The fact that Joe in New York, and Elaine in Kansas, can join up with me, Ruben in California, is what produces the income. That networking ability is exactly what is turning thousands of "average Joe's" into well-paid folks working from home.

If you can pick up a phone, or address an envelope, or send a simple email, or click a mouse -- you've got all the skills you need to succeed earning a fine income online.

Here's what you need:

1. You DON'T need your own product to sell. Stop worrying about coming up with an invention, or having your product produced in China, or even finding a wholesaler you can work with. Others have already done that work for you. Now they need YOU to help them sell and spread the word about their products that are already proving extremely popular.

2. You DON'T need a web site. In the early days of the Net, web sites were novel and otherwise sane people spent their evenings surfing the Net just to see what was out there. Today nobody expects you to have a web site. If you have a simple way to get information to interested prospects, you're in business.

3. You need a simple, affordable way to get new customers. That's the one thing most business opportunities overlook. After you pitch your business to family, friends, and people at work, you're left with nowhere else to go. I've had great success taking ads the company provided me and running them in email newsletters. You can put your ad in newspapers, in mail order tabloids, and even on free ad sites. Nothing is simpler than a classified ad, yet your ad can produce remarkable results for you.

4. Finally, you need a business opportunity that connects you with lots of other interested, motivated people. Remember, that's what the Internet does best! When you take advantage of what the Net does best -- YOU MAKE MONEY!

Make sure your business opportunity has a good way for members to earn money from each other's efforts. You'll find you do a LOT less work while making a LOT MORE money.
