Reaching over I turned off the radio, I couldn’t take it anymore! Everywhere I turned there was the same message! DOOM AND GLOOM! I was sick of it, we all know things are not going well. I had been pinching pennies for years with 2 kids and one full time job, and no other financial support, but for the past year or so it was so much worse, we had to get clothes from a Thrift Shop, some weeks we barely had enough food to make it though the week. Yesterday I found out that in order to help us keep our jobs at work they were cutting everyone’s hours!

This is where I found myself when I began looking for a way to make money online. I HAD TO HAVE SOME HELP.

Check out what I discovered!! I am making this work for me!!

First the Cons:

1. Inner Dialogue

Be wary, if you feel like you are looking at something shady. Go with Your GUT.

2. Sales TACTIC 101

One of the most frustrating sales tactic is the ‘Investment’ tactic, the statement that you need to make a big investment upfront. The topic of money scares most people so the newest thing is to use the term Investment. If they are looking for big upfront money…GET OUT, grab your mouse take control, get away from that site! Although it is reasonable to expect to make a small purchase if the product is good. Much like buying a do it yourself guide, the guide will show you but you have to actually get it before it will make much difference.

3. Crazy Promises

A quality product will NOT make crazy promises, like you can see a huge income right away. However, it may be possible to make SOME MONEY in a few days that is true; But, to replace your income and more in a week or two? Hmmm, alarm bells should be sounding. Don’t become a statistic.

The BEST PART… The PROS

Now that you know what to stay away from, What are the positive things you can do?

Article Marketing! This is a great place to start, with this you choose a topic and write about it to get paid? This is REAL way to get some money.

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE… TO be successful you NEED a DETAILED IN DEPTH PLAN.

If you are like me then you will want someone to show you… I don’t want any assumptions made.

Learning, I knew that I could learn but I’ve VERY LITTLE TECHNICAL SKILLS, the two things I know that I can do are get on the internet and send e-mail.

GUESS WHAT I FOUND… that’s all I needed, I don’t have to have my own website or a vast amount of experience.

The one thing I knew NO ONE COULD GIVE ME was the DESIRE. I had to want it! NO PROBLEM THERE! I had to make this work. I was determined to make life better for my kids and I.

LET ME CLARIFY it does take work, but it is SO DOABLE!

Sophie Maddox asked:


I remember it like it was yesterday… logging onto the computer for the first time to try my hand at Internet Marketing. It was snowing outside, the first snow fall of the year. I was looking to make money fast because my husband was no longer working. I just couldn’t believe how many different ways there were to make money online.

Five months later, as the last of winter’s snow melted away and the valley below our home was awash in a sea of multi-colored wild flowers, I had still not made a single dime online. My husband couldn’t say much because he had not made a dime either, except for the un-employment checks that were do to stop next month.

He patted me on the shoulder as I rubbed my temples, looking at the string of zeros in my account, the sum total of 5 months of diligent effort. I had recently signed up for a membership at a popular online forum on a trial basis and knew I would have to quite because I could not afford the dues. I logged into the forum for the last time to make a post wishing everyone fair well.

Don’t give up, a lot of people urged me not to quit, that if I just gave it more time and worked harder sales were right around the corner. I was tempted to ask them to pay for my membership dues if they were so sure of my looming success.

Then the oddest thing happened. This really nice guy wrote to me and asked if I would like to give a course he had just created on how to make money online a try… free of charge! It was odd because this guy and his course were all anyone was talking about in the forum the last few weeks. I had been tempted to buy it myself because of the amazing reviews but I had promised my husband I would not waste anymore money on “Educational Courses”; they were proving to be a very bad investment.

I jumped at the chance to see the course and it was amazing! It was based around Affiliated Marketing. I had already tried this one of many ways to make money online with no success of course. But, after watching the video course, I learned I was doing it all wrong, despite following the advice of well intentioned people splattered across the net.

So, I set out to correct my mistakes and presto, a sale! I could not believe it. My husband thought I’d finally snapped. I was running around the house yelling and screaming, scaring the kids half to death! Affiliated Marketing is just one of a hundred different ways to make money online, and make it fast!

Best Way to Start, I started by selling digital products created by other people in exchange for a commission, sometimes as high 75%. You really can’t beat the fact that you get most of the money collected for a product that someone else created just because you sent customers to their sales page…It’s Awesome! There is also Pay Per Click and actually creating your own products but these both take a lot of time and a lot of money. If you are just starting out I’d go with Affiliate Marketing because I know it works and you can also do it with none of your own money except maybe a how-go-guide … you don’t even need your own website.

Vance Williamson asked:


There are a myriad of ways to make money online. Affiliate programs, Network Marketing and Direct Sales are the most popular for the work at home entrepreneur. These are business models that you join as an affiliate or distributor and get checks on your efforts every month, two weeks and in some cases every week. If you want to make money online daily you need more control over your business.

It is a nice feeling to have money coming into your merchant accounts every day. I have had tight situations where I needed a lot of money by the end of the week and had no way to generate it that fast. I was up a creek without a paddle.

Now I occasionally find myself up a creek but instead of a paddle I have a small block 650 hp Chevy inboard motor. I have the tools to generate a significant income fast and see the results come in daily.

What is the key to make money online daily? Own your own product or service in addition to using the other business models. With every sale you make 100% of the profit and you don’t have to wait for the company to cut you a check. Immediate deposits into your merchant account is quit rewarding.

Let me tell you a story that happened to me a little over two years ago. Leading a small Church plant in Nebraska I became increasingly ill to the point it hindered my ability to perform. My sight became so impaired I could not read or see the faces of my congregation. Instead of checking with me to see what was up, most of the people left with a critical attitude and me holding the lease. Somewhat discouraged I turned to the only resource I had to pay the bills, internet marketing.

I needed to come up with $10,000 in just a few days to honor the lease. I emailed my list an offer that I owned resale rights to and made $10,000 by the end of the week. I only had one more month on the lease and repeated the process and made another $10,000 that month. Internet Marketing saved my butt again.

By that time my sight was almost all gone and my health deteriorating further so I ended up completely inactive. I sought medical attention at the Hot Springs VA. They saved my life and borrowed a few more years of sight. Miracle is a word I have heard a lot lately.

Back on my feet after two years of struggling to stay alive I have a fresh perspective on a lot of things. One of those is the viability of internet marketing to earn a supplemental or full time income. I understand that there are a lot of good people out there that deserve a better shot at life. The internet can provide a platform of opportunity for them to flourish.

This is why I now do what I do. I want to help as many people as I possibly can to generate an income from the comfort of their home. Anyone reading this can earn monthly, weekly and even make money online daily It takes some hard work and dedication but in the end the rewards are worth it.

Josh Spaulding asked:


If you own a computer and you have a little spare time then you can start making money by completing surveys online. This is how it works:

1. Find one of the many sites that offer paid only surveys and register.

2. Pay the small fee required and they will send you all kinds of surveys to your email.

3. Complete as many surveys as possible. These surveys do not require any special skill and anyone can do it.

4. Once the surveys are completed you will be registered in a drawing that awards several different prices. It is not uncommon for someone to make thousands of dollars off of these drawings.

It is really that simple and anyone can do it. Once you see some profit you will be even more motivated to complete as many as possible.

The more online surveys you complete the easier it gets. This type of income opportunity really has received a bad reputation because people expect to make hundreds or thousands of dollars after their first survey. If they do not profit from the first survey they complete, they get discouraged and quite.

The key to making money by completing surveys online is to keep going and to complete as many as possible. If it takes five or ten surveys to earn you a few hundred dollars then I would say it was well worth your time.

When it comes down to it you will not get rich by completing surveys online but there is definitely a possibility to earn a very nice extra income.

There are a lot of people capitalizing on the bad reputation that online surveys have obtained by winning many drawings that others would have won if they had stuck with it.

Please do not be one those who quite because they did not see a profit after the first online because you could be missing out on a huge income opportunity.

Adam Bradley asked:


Anybody looking for a way to make some extra money to top up there income could do a lot worse than to make money doing online surveys. Although some believe paid surveys are a scam those that get past this soon come to realize they are actually an easy way to make some extra cash.

Paid surveys are offered by market research companies that are working for big companies like Sony and Nike. These companies are desperate to get the input from consumers that will allow them to market there products to the best of there ability and online opinion surveys are a cheap, fast and effective way to do this.

Different surveys offer different rewards ranging from prize draw entries and vouchers to the holy grail that is cash paid surveys. The more companies you register with the better chance you have of getting cash paid surveys. To do this you will need to get access to a list of companies.

Some lists are better than others but with the help of a good list of companies there is no reason you can’t start to make money doing online surveys.

Paid surveys are very unlikely to bring you enough money to ever replace your current income. They are not going to make you rich but they can be an invaluable source of extra income over time. Only a hand full of people make a full time income from online paid surveys and those people have joined hundreds of market research companies and devoted a lot of time and effort.

As I said if your after a way to boost your earnings then you could do it in worse ways than to make money doing online surveys, just don’t expect them to make you a millionaire.

Andy W. Jones asked:


When you first start out in an internet home business, it’s hard to decide which way to go, with all the different options on offer. What is the easiest way to make real money online? In my opinion, it’s really hard to go past promoting clickbank products. With hundreds of products to choose from, and heaps of different niches, the sky is virtually the limit when it comes to the amount of income streams you could be profiting from.

If you go to the clickbank marketplace and browse through some of the categories and sub-categories, you can see there are tons of products to choose from, with most offering 50% commission on each sale that you make. This is great because it means that you don’t have to spend time, research and energy to create your own products AND you don’t have the hassles of product delivery, receiving payments or refund requests. For each product listing, you can view the sales page and stats, such as commission percentage and the dollars earned from each sale.

They pay you via check every two weeks for any sales that you’ve made, provided the amount reaches the minimum that you’ve set. Once you get that first check, it suddenly hits you that you can make real money online.

If you haven’t already got an account with clickbank, the first step is to go there and set it up. You will need to submit a unique “nickname” which will form part of your hoplink on all products you promote. Next step is to choose the niche. I probably don’t need to tell you that you should choose a niche that you have a particular interest in, or expertise in. You’ll obviously do a much better job of selling products in that niche if you have some passion and knowledge of the topic.

Once you’ve narrowed down the niche, you need to choose the first product you wish to sell. While you’re there, take note of other products you can sell, either as front-end products or back-end products. I recommend that you go for new products in the clickbank marketplace as these tend to sell better initially, when they first come out. To find the new products, just go to “category” and select your niche, and then click on “sub-category” and choose “new product” from the drop-down menu. Once you choose a product based on your research, the price and the commission offered, you can click on “create hoplink” so that you can promote your link and start making real money online.

Now it’s time to advertise your hoplink, create sales, and get those commission checks coming in. Now, if you want to treat this as a real business, you should create your own mini-site or blog to direct all the traffic to and to pre-sell the actual product sales page. Make sure you set-up this page with an opt-in box so that visitors can join your list. That way you can follow-up with them and have more chances at getting the sale, but also to sell them back-end products later on. Also, optimize your pages with the right keywords in the title, H1 tags and body to capitalize on the free search engine traffic.

Once you have your sales system in place, you can use strategies such as blogging, forum posting, article marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and email marketing, to get qualified traffic to your pages.

So, as you can see, you can make real money online once you set-up a system that works, take action, and continue to work it on a consistent basis. Don’t forget to research your niche and product selection at the very beginning. That way you’ll create the most profitable campaigns possible.

William Lee asked:


The Internet has been dubbed The Information Superhighway and it certainly lives up to the name. Everyday, millions of people use the Internet and the World Wide Web to seek out information; whether it’s reviews of a new dishwasher, cheapest deals on package holidays, what’s on at the local theatre or tracking down old friends. Chances are, if you’re looking for information, it can be found somewhere online.

Whilst the Internet is undoubtedly a rich sea of data, not all of it is useful information, relevant to the consumer. This, combined with the desire for instant gratification that the Internet instils in its users, builds up a demand for the right information – right NOW!

Despite the hype about making money quickly, easily, out of thin air or the dot com boom there is money to be made on the Internet. It’s a simplification of the process, but if you’re someone with the capability to meet some of this demand for information then you have an opportunity to make money online. As a supplier of information, you have the ability to help make the Internet more useful for the consumer by delivering what they want, when they want it. You can, of course, charge a fee for providing this convenience.

Whether or not you actually make a sale is another matter. Just like most other purchasing decisions, if the consumer considers the value of your offer as being greater than its cost (or the pain of not purchasing) then you’re likely to make a sale. Get the balance wrong and they’ll likely move on.

Whilst a lot of information is freely available online, it’s widely accepted that the age of the commercial Internet has arrived. Some may argue that there shouldn’t be any cost associated with information and whilst you may be able to find the same information at no cost somewhere on the Internet, often the time saved and the convenience of getting exactly what you want is considered worthy of the expense. As an example, you could try and borrow someone’s copy of a newspaper or you could pay to access the latest breaking news from the comfort of your own desk. Unsurprisingly, a large number of people chose the latter when the New York Times switched to a subscription model back in 2003.

There’s a great demand for information online. If you’re one of the people who can supply to this demand, especially if the information is specialist or niche, then there’s little to stop you from charging for your services. With a suitable marketplace to pitch your offer, there’s nothing to hold you back from trying is there?

SC Phipps asked:


There are so many earning opportunities online these days. You can find sites that pay to take surveys, blogs where you can earn money with ads and affiliate partnering programs.

Learning how to make money working online requires a great deal of patience because you first have to weed through the make money working from home scam sites to find something that is legitimate and works for you.

If you have a skill or talent for writing it is one of the best ways to earn money online from home. If you think about the sheer number of websites online today and the need to keep updated content on those sites, this presents an opportunity to work for many sites owners contributing writing content on a freelance basis.

Most people looking to make money working online usually start by looking for work from home jobs. The problem with these types of searches is there really are very few real work from home jobs. You can find some customer service related jobs that offer low wages and part time work but there are thousands of people trying to find those jobs.

Once you realize that most things you can do to make a living on the internet involve freelance work of some sort where you do get paid by a company but you are not an employee in the traditional sense of the word.

The nice thing is most of these freelance type of jobs can be learned very easy and applied by anyone using tons of free sites, resources and tools that everyone has access to use.

Jenny Weeks asked:


Just like everywhere, the Internet is no different…there are ruthless people out there who would have you believe making money online is a “Piece of Cake” and you can get rich just by buying their “get-rich quick” program.

Buyer Beware…you don’t get rich by buying somebody’s program. Period.  You make them richer with one more sale but you end up with a program you don’t know the first thing about.  It’s not a good feeling.  Been there.  Done that.  So….listen up.

Have you ever wondered why most people don’t make a dime on the Internet while there are others who are making more money in one month than most people make in a whole year?  What are they doing that the other people aren’t?  What’s the secret?

One of the common denominators is….drumroll please….

Passion

Yep. Passion. 

Obviously NOT romantic passion…but passion meaning the company’s products or services move you…move you to buy them…move you to want to tell other people about them.  Think of the people you know selling juices, make-up, skin products, etc.  We all know at least one person who’s doing this. They love the products they sell. They use the products they sell.  They believe in the products they sell.  This belief moves them, compels them to sell.  It is Passion combined with Purpose.

It’s true that many online business owners/marketers are gifted sellers- they can sell anything. So what passion do they have for so many products? They couldn’t care less about the products.  Actually, their passion is closing the sale- any sale…so, yes, they too have passion for what they do.  

I’m not suggesting that Passion is the only requirement for a successful online enterprise.  To be successful,  you also need a good website that presents itself and you as reliable, honest and trustworthy…you need good marketing, which means widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, etc. Those lessons and components should be provided by the company you join – but disregard the Passion and you significantly reduce your chances for success.

Gauge yourself this way…if you have no Passion for the company  or the products and services provided by the company, walk away because you’re not going to work it the way you should. You will not be successful and you’ll lose the belief and interest in internet marketing…and that would be a shame.  You’d lose the potential to be financially free.

Working online isn’t really difficult or time-consuming but it does take motivation, i.e. Passion and discipline to get you off the ground and maintain the momentum.

There are plenty of solid business opportunities online for you.  Just research each one carefully.  Don’t rush into anything because some “guru” says it’s “cutting edge” or “ride the wave…”

When you find the right company, you’ll feel fantastic about it.  You’ll want to tell everyone you know about it.  You’ll feel the passion for it. That’s when you know you’ve found the right one.

Always remember that not being passionate about the company or its services or products is the red flag you MUST not ignore. Walk away and find something you love.  There’s the first step towards your online success, working from home and spending more time with your Loved Ones.

Bill Broich asked:


Making money with Google is one of the quickest, easiest and most effective ways to make money online. The reason is because the traffic is laser targeted. If somebody types in, for example, ‘work from home job’ they are looking to find a home based job. In comparison if a user is on a general news site let’s say and sees a banner or text ad for a work from home job they are less likely to be interested. What Google allows you to do is instantly put your product or service in front of people who are actively looking for it. This comes in the form of Google Adwords. If you’re unfamiliar with adwords they are simply the text ads you see at the top and right hand column of Google’s search engine results pages. Advertisers bid against one another for placement. Ideally you want the top spot on the first page.

You can find a multitude of affiliate products that will pay you a percentage of sales you generate. You can advertise these affiliate products on Google and often earn head-spinning amounts of money, especially if you find a hot product with a generous commission and can achieve a top placement on Google. It’s an easy way to make money online and there are so many niches you’ll never run out of areas in which to make money from.

The downside to making money with Google Adwords is that it’s so effective that everybody wants in on the action and the prices continue to rise year after year squeezing out many advertisers and reducing profit margins for nearly everyone.

If you truly want to make money online with Google adwords you need to keep your ad costs down. You can do this using a combination of techniques… optimization and cost offsetting are the number one tactics.

Optimizing simply means tracking which keywords and phrases get clicks and convert the best. Typically longer tail keywords convert better as opposed to broad general terms. Example: Make Money is less likely to convert than say make money online with Google adwords. The latter is more specific. The user is not looking for any old way to make money online. They want to do it using Google Adwords.

Another optimization tactic is placing high initial bids for keywords when you setup a new campaign. This gets you higher placement which nearly always leads to a higher click-thru rate. The higher the CTR the more relevant Google sees your ad being and therefore they rank your ads higher. Relevancy trumps bid amount always. You’ll be able to slowly lower your cost per click amount and still retain your placement.

Of course there are other optimization techniques, but these are the two big ones.

The next method is offsetting. Offsetting is the brilliant tactic to get your adwords ads free. One brilliant internet marketer is getting over 12 million a year in free Google Adwords using an easy secret. He offsets his ad costs to his competitors. Crazy sounding, I know. But it works like a charm.

In conclusion, Google adwords is one of the easiest ways to make money online. You can start making money within minutes and your traffic is laser targeted leading to higher conversion rates and greater profits. But it’s getting expensive and more competitive so you must employ optimization and offsetting techniques to remain in the game and grow your earnings.
