The question I am asked the most is, "How can I createadditional income streams if I don't have any money to getstarted?" This article is going to teach you exactly that -how to create additional income streams using the Internet- without requiring any money to get started...

If you search for Work-at-Home or Make Money Online, youwill have literally millions of websites to visit thatpromise you the next best way to get rich... for a fee...

You can spend hundreds of dollars researching all of thebusiness opportunities on the Internet. But more times thannot, the money you spend only supplies information oneverything else you need to buy to get started.

Well have no fear! I am going to show you some of thesecrets I use to creating income streams with no money down!

I realize that a lot of you are living paycheck topaycheck. Everything coming in, quickly goes right backout. My intention of writing this article is to help youbreak out of this cycle with Affiliate Programs.

What are Affiliate Programs?

Affiliate Programs are used to promote a product or servicethrough a cost-per-action advertising model. Simply put,website owners will pay you a commission for every personyou send to their website that either buys their product orservice, or perform some other type of action such asfilling out a survey...

Amazon.com built a huge following by utilizing AffiliatePrograms. A website owner simply put a unique link on theirwebsite that Amazon.com provided them. Every time someoneclicked on their unique link and ordered a book, thewebsite owner would be paid a commission - usually apercentage of sales.

Banner ads or text ads are used to drive the traffic to theaffiliate website. For example, one website might say"Click here to order Sean's Latest Book." When someoneclicks on the link, it will go to exactly where they canorder the book at Amazon.com.

High traffic websites benefit greatly by this businessmodel since they can drive a lot of people to the affiliatewebsites which results in a lot of commissions being earned.

But what if I don't have a website?!

I know, you don't have a website, right? Or maybe you do,but you don't get a lot of traffic? I have good news...

BLOGS = FREE TRAFFIC

Over the last couple years, a new type of website has comeonto the scene. They are called BLOGS. A blog is like apersonal diary of articles that you post that people canread and comment on.

A couple examples:http://fortunedreams.blogspot.comhttp://ulosefast.blogspot.com

You can use a BLOG to drive visitors to affiliate linkswithout having to have a website. If you look at thefortunedreams blog above, you will notice that at the endof every article is a link that says "Click here for FREEInformation on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com"

If you click on that link, it will go to an affiliate linkwhich redirects you to a free survey to fill out.

For every person that completes that free survey, I getpaid $2.25. Not too bad, eh?

So How Do I Do It?

Step 1: Open a free affiliate account. Go tohttp://www.magmoney.com and join the affiliate programthere. This affiliate program will allow you to earn $2.25for every free survey completed.

Step 2: Login to your affiliate account. At the top of thescreen, you will see some TABS. Click on the tab that says"CREATE YOUR LINKS." Then click on the link that says"CLICK HERE To get banner and text link code to advertiseour three different websites."

The first website listed will allow you to refer otherpeople to join the MagMoney Affiliate Program. For everyperson that signs up through your link, you will get paid75 cents for every person THEY get to complete a freesurvey. (You might not want to promote this one until later- when you have a friend that wants to do what you aredoing... You can then get paid on their efforts!)

The second website listed will allow you to send traffic toa weight loss website. If you want to create a blog aboutweight loss, then you will want to use this for youraffiliate link.

The third website listed will allow you to send traffic toa Work at Home website. If you want to create a blog aboutWorking at Home, then you will want to use this for youraffiliate link.

Step 3: Decide which website you want to promote from Step#2, and click on the CLICK HERE that is next to it tocreate your unique affiliate link.

Once you do that, you will get a list with your uniqueaffiliate link along with about 10 banner ads. Disregardthe banner ads since we will not be using them on the Blog.

Step 4: Write down the affiliate link that is listed underthe heading "Basic Affiliate Url:".

If you are doing a weight loss blog, your link would looksomething like this:

http://www.mailorderwork.com/gl/g.o/USERNAME/http://www.ulosefast.com

(Except all on one line.)

Step 5: Go to http://www.Blogger.com and create a free Blogaccount.

Step 6: Go ahead and create your first blog, whether it isfor Work at Home or Weight Loss.

Step 7: Post articles to your Blog with your affiliate linkposted at the end of every article you post. (Refer back tohttp://fortunedreams.blogspot.com to get an idea of what topost.)

Do the same thing I did with the "Click here for FREEInformation on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com" But makesure you link it back to YOUR unique affiliate link thatyou wrote down from Step #4.

Where Do I Find Articles?

The easiest way would be to simply copy them from one of myblogs listed in the examples above. Or visit one of thefree article websites such ashttp://www.SubmitYourArticle.com . There are literallythousands of articles for the taking. You will want tosearch for articles that fit the topic of the link you arepromoting.

For example, if you are promoting the Work at Home link,you would want articles pertaining to Work at Home.

Step 8: Promote your Blog! There are hundreds of BlogDirectories and RSS Directories that you can submit to thatare free of charge. When you create a blog athttp://www.Blogger.com, you also get a free RSS feed ofyour Blog. You simply add /atom.xml to the end of your Blog.

For example:The blog http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/ would behttp://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/atom.xml as an RSS feed.

This allows you to submit it to all the RSS and BlogDirectories that you can find...

Step 9: VERY IMPORTANT: After EVERY article that you postto your blog, go to http://www.pingomatic.com and submityour blog. Click on ALL the Services to Ping and thensubmit pings.

This tells many of the popular Blog directories that youhave a new article posted. The more articles you post, thehigher your ranking (and the more traffic they will sendyou!)

So be sure to do this after every article you post.

Step 10: Post new articles on your Blog several times aday. Try to post at least a dozen or more new articles on adaily basis to achieve the best results.

So there you have it! A completely, absolutely free way tostart generating income with the Internet from the comfortof your own home...

Of course you can repeat the process over and over againcreating as many blogs as you want. You can also use thismethod with any of the hundreds of other affiliate programson the Internet.

Utilizing this method, you should be able to build up anextra income from several hundred dollars a month toseveral thousand - depending on how hard you work at it.

Now that you are earning a little bit of pocket money, put$250 aside for a special opportunity to turn it intohundreds of thousands of dollars with the ultimateleverage!

I'll tell you all about it in my next article about myfavorite Business Model - Network Marketing...

Good luck and God bless!
