Your Own Web Site - After you have enrolled, you are normally given your "own" Internet web site (often with your own name and E-mail address on it), so that when someone goes there, and they sign up, they will be put in your so-called downline or sales team. Your downline is the name of the commission structure for the people signing up after you, which you enroll for your home business.

You are normally given your own URL to use in E-mails and other advertising to allow people to go to your web site easily by just clicking on the URL link.

This form of advertising is all set up for you, so that you can easily get people to sign up in your downline. Most programs will require you to enroll other people, but it is normally quite EASY, given the power of the Internet. Some programs will even automatically build your downline, without you having to do anything. This may sound interesting, but these programs normally don't pay as much per sign-up - and you found the sign-ups, so you should be WELL REWARDED!

Enrollment of new members - Although the sales of products and services is the main goal of the program, to make the most money, you should also try to enroll other people who will also sell the products and services of the program(s) you joined. There are many ways to do this, depending on the type of program. Normally your sponsor (who found you and enrolled you) will provide you with methods, which have already been successful, so that you do not need to try out new things on your own - you can normally start making money right away. See the web page on prospecting methods for more information about prospecting techniques.

Member Area of Web Site - Sometimes there is a place in the administative part of the web site of your program, which lets you see the structure and contact information of the people under you in your downline, for example, up to 10 levels. For some programs, this could mean that you are the future owner of commissions generated by hundreds of people in your downline - this is called residual income.

Payment Methods - Payments from your downline members are often received through such systems below, depending on whether the program supports these on its web site. They are normally absolutely free for the person making the payment. The charges occur when you accept money from someone, but they are minimal. Don't be without the proper pay system. Your web site visitor does not want to take the time to coordinate this with you.

- PayPal - Probably the most widely used pay system (other than credit cards) in the Internet today. If you don't have one, you NEED one - get one here.

- SafePay - This system is good for most everyone, even many international. You do NOT have to own a credit card to be verified and accept money from other SafePay users. If you don't have a SafePay Account, get one here.

- E-Gold - This payment processor is needed if you want to participate in the more fast-moving business opportunities, on-line casinos and other higher risk adventures. Eventually, you will run across one you really want to join, and you won't have the money available - so if you don't have an account yet, get one here.

- Liberty Reserve - Similar situation as E-Gold, mentioned above - so if you don't have an account yet, get one here.

Other programs pay only with check, so you are often waiting for your next check - through snail mail; however, you can usually see how much money is accumulating up until that time, by looking on the program's administrative web site.

Discontinued Payment Processors

- IntGold - Under investigation is the word on the web.

- StormPay - Used to be great, but has decided to no longer support money transactions.
