Hi Friend

You know what, my family and I are hoping to move to New Zealand some time this year, the other side of the world from where we live now in the UK.

It's going to be a big move but it will be worth it - a better climate for my kids, more space for them to run around, less traffic, a much improved life style in general.

But I'll tell you this. People round here are open-mouthed when I tell them how easy it is to transfer my business to a completely different country.

As long as I can plug into an internet connection from anywhere in the world, I still have a valid business and an ongoing income.

They can't quite grasp that with this internet business, I'm completely geographically mobile.

They tell me how lucky I am.

I tell them that it's achievable by anyone - follow the right steps, and I truly believe that anyone with the right degree of motivation can earn a living online.

[If you don't know where to start, or if you're online but not achieving the levels of income you would like, I strongly recommend you read Stephen Pierce's new Whole Truth book - read my comments about it below.]

So with no ties like kids at school (my talk-non-stop daughter's nearly three, and the new smiley happy chappy is just three months old) or run-of-the-mill employment, we're free to follow the sun down-under and live in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

We may not even stay there - but we'll enjoy it, and experience it, and broaden our lives. And if we want to, we'll move on.

And this opportunity is available to us less than a year since I've been running the internet business on a full time basis.

I'm not saying any of this to brag, I'm not that sort of person, but rather I want to point out the magical opportunities that an internet business can bring.

It's not all about stacks of cash, though the potential is there if that's all you care about, but about freedom from the constricting structures of the pre-Internet age.

With an internet business, you have:

• The freedom to work at home and be with your loved ones all day long

• The freedom to choose when and for how long you want to work

• The freedom to work virtually anywhere in the world

And that's just the start.

One of the easiest ways to start selling online is to use ClickBank® - there's no need to have your own merchant account, you can be up and running within a couple of days, and you have an instant affiliate system ready for you to allow other people to help you sell your products.

In fact, there's five different ways you can earn money via ClickBank®, and these are examined below.

1. Five Ways to Make Money With ClickBank®

ClickBank not only allows you to accept credit cards on your web site without the need for a merchant account, it also provides other ways in which you can generate income - in this article, I'll highlight five different ways you can start making money with ClickBank by the end of today.
 

 1. Become an affiliate for ClickBank products

You can easily sign up as an affiliate via http://clickbank.com and then take a look through the full range of products in their marketplace for products you'd like to promote, for example by looking in the appropriate category you should find products that match up well with your existing business and that you'll be able to promote to your mailing list.

To promote a product, you simply create a hoplink, which is of the following format:

  http://hop.clickbank.net/hop.cgi?nickname/merchant

Just replace 'nickname' with your own ClickBank nickname, and 'merchant' with the nickname of the merchant. If you're not sure what the nickname of the merchant is, you can always go to their sales page and extract it from their sales link - it's likely to be in the following format:

  http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?Merchant/1/ProductName

where 'Merchant' is the merchant's nickname.

Or for an automatic way to generate hoplinks, try the following page:

2. Sell your own product through ClickBank

There's no surer way of making money online than selling your own product, and with ClickBank you can start doing this quickly and easily.

You can sell up to 50 different downloadable products through ClickBank with a single account - and to become a merchant costs less than $50, rather than the hundreds of dollars it often takes to set up your own merchant account.

And you won't be alone - thousands of web masters sell through ClickBank including people like Ben Prater, Joe Vitale and Jim Edwards.
 

3. Sign up your own ClickBank affiliates

Just by signing up with ClickBank as a vendor, you can start recruiting affiliates to sell YOUR product almost immediately - and if affiliates are receiving commissions from selling your product, that means YOU are making money.

You can define exactly what level of commission you want your affiliates to receive - personally I give my affiliates 50% so we're both on an equal footing.
 

4. Send ClickBank new clients

You can earn cash just by promoting ClickBank itself, full details are available at http://www.clickbank.com/reseller.html - it's not big bucks, but it's useful as an additional income stream with commissions ranging between $0.05 and $10.00.
 

5. Promote a ClickBank Storefront

ClickBank's own MarketPlace is fairly limited in terms of functionality, but various companies offer a 'storefront' for all (or some) of the products listed in ClickBank's MarketPlace, and each one of which will have your ClickBank affiliate nickname attached.

The idea is that you promote your own storefront, and get commissions from people who visit and go on to purchase products that are listed.

The most powerful one I've seen is at http://www.CBGold.com, but there's a couple others you can view for comparison at 1stPromotion.com and ClickbankAffiliates.com.
