Everyone dreams of working from home. Nowadays, with the booming popularity of the Internet and computers, it's become a little easier to realize that dream. Opportunities abound to make real money without leaving the shelter of your own house. What's more, many work-from-home jobs require a minimum of effort on your part. But the situation is definitely "Worker Beware."

The truth is, many Internet businesses don't deliver what they promise. While they're not exactly scams, what they don't tell you is the multiple steps involved in actually making income. Often, the money has to travel through several levels of a pyramid before it reaches you- and if it gets there at all, it's certainly not the thousands that you were promised.

At other times, you may be able to make a lot of money working from home-but the position requires lots of exhausting phone calls and self-promotion. You may have to sell a certain amount of product or information before you can even begin turning a profit. And in the meantime, you're investing money in something that you may not even complete. Many people get involved in work-from-home situations only to find they don't have the time to follow through, and they lose everything they've invested, making the whole situation a waste of time.

Believe it or not, it IS possible to make money and stay at home. It's possible to do so without giving up your life and your free time. And it IS possible to have a computer business that really does produce an income.

Internet marketing is an entire field that has grown up quickly over the past few years. With the onset of search engines, more and more businesses are going online, and fighting for the top spots in search returns. In order to achieve results, these businesses must focus on keywords that get them to the top of the list. That's the best way to get noticed by the average person searching online.

What exactly is a keyword, you might ask? Every day, millions of people all over the world go to an Internet search engine and type in words or phrases that they want to find. Many of these people are online shoppers. If there's a website out there that sells daybeds, for example, that site want to be the first to pop up when someone searches for the word "daybed."

Therefore, that website will make sure to plant the word "daybed" on their website as many times as possible. The Internet search engine will recognize their site as relevant to the search, and put it near the top of the list. And if the site is well designed and has a good selection, that searcher will click into it and maybe even make a purchase.

The more clicks and purchases, the more effectively the keyword is working. And the higher rated that daybed site becomes.

You might be wondering how this affects you and your dream of working at home. Well, what if you could have an Internet business that was based on the concept of keyword marketing? What if you could make money off of the searches performed by millions of online shoppers every day?

Now, you can. And the process is simple. The entire business is automated and self-promoting, resulting in little work for you aside from checking your stats once a week. A few minutes of commitment on your part can lead to lifelong income... and we're talking real income, not a few pennies here and there.

Think about it: The most money can be found in up-and-coming situations that show no signs of slowing down. The Internet and online retail are speeding up and promise to be around for several years to come. And online retail is run almost entirely by keywords.

Basing your income off of keyword automated Internet marketing can result in big payoffs. And there's no risk and no loss involved for you. You won't be making phone calls or trying to get sales. The Internet will do all of that for you. The program itself will close the deals for you. And you'll be making easy money before you know it.
