#1 Myth on the Web:
"I need to have my own website in order to make money on the Internet."

You can also earn commissions by sending people to other people's websites, and that is called affiliate marketing. This can be accomplished through blogging, microblogging, traffic exchanges, pay-per-click advertising, and the list goes on.

So many people assume that they have to have their own website in order to make money on the Internet, but at Best Home Business Tools we are here to tell you that you don't.

(We just thought we would clear up that misconception.)

"But wait!" you say.
"I really do need my own website."

Okay. No problem.

Perhaps you do need to have your own website to represent your business. If so, you might as well build it in such a way that the search engines will like it and promote it for free, right? With respect to building and maintaining the kind of website that search engines like, you are about to see some of the best home business tools within the video below.

Just remember this...

If your goal is simply to start making money on the Internet, you can do that even before you have your own website.

A Major Benefit of Having Your Own Website

A major benefit of having your own website is the ability to maintain and control your own list. As your network grows, it is easier to reach more people with your recommendations, thereby increasing your commissions for sales that you generated from those recommendations.

The significance of that statement is enormous, and it is also the reason why, yes, ultimately...

You eventually want to have your own website.

You don't need one to make money on the Internet. We have already established that fact.

But it can be a lot easier to make money on the Internet when you have your own warm list of contacts to whom you may make product recommendations.

The strategy is to focus on building a following. When you build a large following, it's easier to build your list.

"What's the fastest way to legitimately build a large following on the Internet?"

Without a doubt, the fastest and easiest way to build a large following on the Internet is found in the social networks (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube).

People who like what you are putting out in the social networks may want to follow you or add you as a friend in order to hear more of what you have to say. They don't even have to disclose their e-mail address, so it is non-threatening.

Therefore, many of the best home business tools on the Internet today are the networking tools found within the social networks themselves.

You may have actually heard of it in passing, but just in case you missed it, you may want to take really a good look at microblogging and twitter. Among other things, twitter is the latest and most effective way of getting the word out about your home business. Once you understand the benefits of twitter (and micro-blogging in general), things could really begin to "click" in your online marketing.

Imagine posting a thought with a link to something that you recommend
(e.g., a page on your website). Now as soon as you click the update button, hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people are instantly notified without even sending a single e-mail or even having a mailing list.

At Best Home Business Tools, we want to emphasize right away the benefits of having a large following that can grow into your readership and paying customers.

If you can visualize this scenario, then you have just caught a glimpse of twitter and what it can do for you.

At first glance, "having a large following" does not sound like a phrase that you would associate with building a business. It sounds more like a social or even spiritual term.

Yet when a portion of your following begins to take further interest in your products or services, then you suddenly realize that "having a large following" could be just a few steps away from having a growing customer base.

Growing Your Customer Base for FREE!

Since a growing customer base is essential to the success of your business (especially in today's economy), then it becomes apparent why, at least in our opinion, twitter ranks so highly among the best home business tools available today. The reason, very simply, is that you can use it (properly, of course) to build your customer base for free.

If you ever get kicked off of a social network, and you don't have your own subscribers from your own website, then you lose all your contacts. But if you have your own list at your own website(s), then you get to keep your contacts, because they truly are your contacts when you have your own list.

So here's how it works:

• Social Network Followers becoming Mailing List Subscribers...
• Mailing List Subscribers becoming Regular Readers...
• Regular Readers becoming Paying Customers...

Sounds like a nice and logical progression, doesn't it?

And here's a special insight for you...

It's much easier to get a new "follower" than it is to get a new "subscriber."

So where do we begin in terms of our efforts to grow our network and ultimately our own list?

We begin by building a large following first.

As your followers check out your website, it is much easier for them to join your mailing list, because they already feel comfortable with you from observing your posts and updates in the social network where they first found you.
