One of the ways to earn money from home is to join the world of Internet marketing. You do not need your own site, you can earn with helping others to promote their sites (and then start your own). One of the crucial points to achieve success with your website is to build links pointing to your website: both quantity and quality matter. As a result, a new profession has evolved – Link Builder. And it is a cool way to make your living at this moment in time.

Task is clear: to get other websites place links to the site of your customer. Below are some valuable article links thaht will teach you how to do it efficiently:

• Advanced link building

Next question is where to search your potential customers – those people who are ready to pay for your work:

- freelance sites (rentacoder.com reviewed here. A great collection of other freelance sites is here)
- classifieds (good place to start: www.craigslist.org)

How much to charge? Reciprocals and directory links are not highly priced – 1-2$ per link. But once you are experienced enough to get permanent and valuable one way links you will get 10-30$ per link.

What skills do you need? You should be PC and Internet savvy. Plus some basic knowledge of HTML would be of great help. This basic knowledge is available here for free.
