First of all, when you work at home you have to do things online. So the job needs to have something to do with the Internet. Moms, though, have time constraints that probably don't enable them to have a fixed working schedule, or that mean that they don't have too much time on their hands. So the job has to have something to do with the Internet, needs to have flexible hours, and should pay enough even if you can't put that many hours into it. This is the exact description of Internet marketing.

Internet marketing is based on a very simple principle, actually: If you match a prospective client with a seller, the seller will pay you a commission if the prospective client turns into a buyer and a purchase is made. You help people find what they're looking for, and everybody's happy: The client finds a good deal, the seller profits from selling the product, and you got paid for referring the customer. This is called affiliate marketing.

There are other ways to make money online. For example, you can show 3rd party advertisements on your site and get paid whenever someone clicks the ads. There are also sites that pay you if you get people to join their free mailing list. However, the most common method of Internet marketing is affiliate marketing.

It probably sounds like it takes a lot to become a successful and wealthy affiliate, but the truth is that anyone can do it. It doesn't matter how old you are, or what knowledge and experience you bring to the table. This is ideal for moms who want to work at home for some extra income. You don't need to be a computer whiz, or a marketing guru. You just need to find a good place to teach you and show you what to do, and be dedicated to succeeding - profits come from actions.

In summary, it's not unusual to see moms work at home for extra income. One of the best ways for them to do it is to start marketing online. Even for newbies Internet marketing can be a very profitable profession. For moms, there are only bonuses in Internet marketing.
