Ideas and advice for working from home
Are all work from home opportunities scams? Whilst there are thousands of home based jobs and business opportunities out there, many make claims they cannot substantiate, or are simply fraudulent. If you want to work at home our sites (see links below) give you a wealth of legitimate ideas to get started, or to succeed with your existing business, and we'll be using this page to keep you updated with the latest news, scams and recommendations
This month's recommendations

1on40
If you've got a website to promote you'll know how important it is to be found in the search engines. 1on40 is a new service offering a FREE submission service which claims they can get your site to number one on Google, Yahoo and 38 other TOP search engines for FREE.
You just need to use their search engine submitter once to experience this revolutionary service and watch your web site shoot to the first result of Google, Yahoo and 38 other top search engines in 120 days for your 5 keywords, and only then do you pay them to stay at the number one position.
This free offer only exists while they are beta testing the service. Try it now for FREE before they release the 'paid for service'.
They are certainly making very impressive claims and since it costs nothing to give them a try, it has to be worth a look. I've just signed up for the service and if you'd like to know more, visit http://www.homeworkinguk.com/1on40.htm
NetAudioAds
When you've got a website, you'll know that getting visitors to your site is only half the battle. To earn anything you usually then need your visitors to take some action, even if that just means clicking on Adsense ads or signing up for more information.
PayPerPlay however seems to be a system that is a very real alternative to AdSense for a simple quick way of making money from any website, as people don't even need to click on the ads for you to get paid, it's automatic! It allows any web site owner to make money on every single visitor to their website with no action required from the visitor. They do this by serving a single 5 second audio advertisement to website visitors on any and every page of your websites where it would be appropriate for a visitor to hear a 5 second audio ad. Note that all the ads your visitors will hear will be related to the content of each web page of your website.
They already have over 66,000 advertisers on their books who will buy ad plays on your website for 100% of your visitors. In essence you will be paid on a CPM basis and the effective CPM that you receive will be determined by their automated bid management system which works to ensure that you get the highest rate possible. This form of advertising is known as Pay-Per-Play and can add a substantial amount of revenue without additional traffic.

Program Update
A few months ago I wrote to you about a new "paid to click" website that was generating a lot of interest, and a lot of activity. Well since then I'm pleased to report that the site continues to go from strength to strength. After a quiet few weeks while they were revamping the site, it has suddenly taken off and there are now generally over a 100 sites a day to visit. You don't even have to keep visiting the site to check for ads as they offer an "ad alert" button which announces new ads as soon as they appear. I'm easily getting 10-20 paid ads a day and would get more if I was online more regularly.
In addition you can now earn for completing offers, and even better, earn up to 100% on the offers accepted by your referrals.
If you're a lapsed member I'd recommend you take another look and if you haven't yet joined I'd recommend you check it out. Visit http://www.homeworkinguk.com/adbux.htm for full details.

Featured Freebies
Ever month I'll scour the internet for the best freebies. Here's this month's choice.
Free Software Giveaway
How would you like to receive $3,920 in quality software and privacy tools, including The New Office, a free alternative to Microsoft Office which even works with Word, Excel and PowerPoint files plus a fully-featured web editor, paint shop, firewall, virus protection, and a spyware removal tool and many other programs? These aren't poorly-produced DOS programs you'll find floating around in freeware libraries from the 90's. They're the very latest versions and all work in both XP and Vista.
To get all this free software, just sign up for either the free Windows Power User newsletter, or the Privacy newsletter, depending on which topic interests you most. You'll typically receive just two messages every week, featuring the latest technology news and download freebies. You'll never receive any spam, and of course they don't sell your details to anyone else, and can unsubscribe at any time. Find out more at http://www.homeworkinguk.com/freesoftware.htm
Free Survey Directory
Regular subscribers will know that in addition to the homeworking sites, I also run http://www.whichsurveys.com a free directory of over 200 paid survey sites. Of course it simply isn't possible to sign up with that many companies at one time, so to make it easier to systematically work through the list, I have now collated details of all sites, still sorted geographically, and put them into a free ebook and then added a collection of articles to help you get the most from paid surveys. If you'd like a copy you can either subscribe at http://www.whichsurveys.com or if you don't want to receive updates by e-mail, you can download the guide directly from http://www.whichsurveys.com/surveys.pdf

Recommended Reading
The following books are recommended reading for anyone looking to earn from home
Summer recommendation
Every week I receive details in my inbox about the latest ebook which is always a must-read for everyone who wants to learn how to make money online. I've reached the stage where I delete most of these e-mails without reading more than a couple of lines. This month, though I received information about a new guide that is actually a little different.
I'm sure you've seen all the bold exaggerated six figure incomes that omit to mention the huge advertising costs required to make these sales, so I was pleasantly surprised to find Lazy Git Marketing gives figures that are not only easily attainable, but doesn't need AdSense, Affiliate Marketing, Pay Per Leads, List Building, Pay Per Click Advertising, Search Engine Optimization, or even any Traffic! It's even written by an Englishman - now that's my kind of business model!
So I snapped up a copy of Lazy Git Marketing, and have started to put the content into practice. The author, Matt Garrett, demonstrates how he made eleven sites in just twelve hours
which only take 20-30 minutes per month to maintain, and he earned $11,000 in 17 months - not exactly life changing, but I'm sure an extra $600 or so a month could make a big difference to most of us.
Now this ebook isn't a huge tome full of waffle and is actually quite a quick read. Matt gets right to the point, so the guide is actually less than 40 pages, but it is all information that anyone can use and duplicate, and put into action today. Find out:
- How making a simple website, sending out 2 emails, and 15 minutes a week earns him a healthy residual check every month.
- Why this system works even if your site gets no traffic.
- How you can build these sites for free (or on a budget) using his personal blueprint as a guide.
- The secret to automating the creation of Lazy Git websites, so you can grow your paychecks each and every month.

Try this out if you just want to earn a little extra
AdBux is a brand new site whereby you make money by simply visiting websites for up to 30 seconds per visit. They pay you $0.01 for each website you visit and $0.01 for each website your referrals visit, with a guaranteed minimum 10 sites a day to visit. Payments are issued via PayPal on a daily basis but you must request for a payment to be processed. You only need to earn at least $1.50 to exchange your earnings for advertising with them or $10 to receive paymentin cash, which seems easily attainable since I earned nearly $1 in the first 3 days without any referrals and have since received my first payout.
One valuable benefit to both members and advertisers is the repeat exposure that the advertiser gets. Whenever you click and view a website, you can visit that website again in 24 hours. This gives the advertiser optimal exposure
by using "repeat advertising" and it further increases the members earning potential. Find out more, or sign up from http://www.homeworkinguk.com/adbux.htm

Here's another business idea for you
If you've got your own website, you'll know that you need to keep providing new content both to keep visitors coming back and to rank well with search engines. Unfortunately it can be extremely time consuming to write your own content, especially if you're not a natural writer and if commissioning your own articles is too expensive, the alternatives up till now have either involved using articles from article directories which have bylines to take your traffic and may already appear on hundreds of other sites or buying packs of themed articles on a monthly subscription which turn out to be poorly written often by someone for whom English is clearly, at best, a second language, and often on topics you cannot use.
This month I've finally found a viable alternative. All Private Label Content articles are written by qualified writers with a full command of both the English language and the topic they are writing about, and are exclusive to the strictly limited number of current members of the site. Anyone joining this week for example won't be able to use last month's articles, thus ensuring only a small number of people can use the information. At present there are three memberships available :
All Marketing Content - range of topics of interest to the business-to-business market,
All Mums Content: - covers parenting issues, women's interests, recipes, product reviews family travel, family financial concerns to health advice.
All Health Content - Topics include weight loss, general health, men's health, women's health, product profiles, issues for children, healthy eating, natural lifestyles etc.
Not only do you get 30 tightly themed articles every month, but you also get 10 product reviews, 10 how-to sheets or recipes (depends on topic selected) and a 7-10 page themed special report plus affiliate suggestions, useful resources and access to the members-only forum. More themes to follow. Incredibly all this costs just $17.97 (under £10) a month and comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you have or are contemplating a website around any of these topics, this has to be worth a look.
Alternatively you can just buy a collection of 15 articles on a theme (titles shown prior to purchase), which come with suggested affiliate programs to monetise your articles, or if you'd rather write your own articles but need few pointers, get one of their research packs where the articles come in point format only, but still include suggested affiliate products together with a long list of relevant websites to research your topic further.
As the membership packs include product reviews every month, the company need someone to review these products and submit a report. They are currently collecting product reviews written by online marketers and for every product review they use, they'll pay you $5. All reviews must be at least 200 to 250 words. In addition, if you've got a product/service to review, as a member you'll get priority. Find out more from http://www.homeworkinguk.com/plr.htm
Camera Dollars System
Of course there's more to the internet than just words. Most websites would be pretty dull without graphics of some form, which means there is a continuous demand for new photographs to use and people are paying incredibly high fees for pictures - any and all kinds of pictures. So, in return, there are websites that collect these pictures and then sell them. You don't need to be a professional photographer and you only need a basic digital camera to earn from any photographs you take. There is also the opportunity to earn monthly residual commissions from all the digital photos you submit online.
Brian Moore has come up with a system he shows you that allows you to partner very quickly and sell the simplest of your digital pictures. Over 200 pages, topics include:
-How to ensure you are getting the best fee possible for each photo you upload online - find out how to ensure you are paid what your photos are really worth
-How to put yourself in a buyer's shoes and always shoot to sell - find out what buyers are looking for and the easiest ways for you to deliver exactly what they need
-Who pays the highest rates - and how to get them to not just accept your work but beg for it!
-How to easily find websites that will practically beg you for your photos - and who'll be willing to pay a premium for each photo you submit to them
-How to select the right keywords to use with your photos when you upload them online
-How to dramatically improve your chances of getting each one of your photos accepted by photo sites.
-What to take pictures of - find out what types of images are in the most demand
-How to make money in the competitive world of celebrity gossip sites - these tips will give you the advantage you need to begin dominating the competition
-How to take pictures of sporting events and sell them online - it's not as difficult as you might think.
If that's not enough for you, you also get a bonus guide which shows you how to get paid to write online. Once again, you don't need any experience, in fact, this system favours people with little or no writing experience and shows you where people will pay you to write articles, blog entries, headlines, and other forms of online writing and even shows you where you can get paid to edit various websites' clumsy typos! This writing training manual alone contains well over 100 pages of valuable content.

Google Snatch
If you've been trying to get traffic to a website you'll know how easy it is to pay a small fortune to advertise on Google or other PPC advertising or to spend hours every week trying to optimise your site for search engines. New guide Google Snatch offers a real alternative, explaining how to get traffic from Google without spending any money, and no this isn't the recent scam which claimed you can get free advertising but was actually only giving you a possible method of offsetting your costs.
Google Snatch makes use of the Google measurement, Page Rank (PR) which is largely based upon the number and quality of back links a webpage has. It's an important factor to how well a particular webpage ranks within the Google search results. High PR sites tend to stand for authority and have a huge number of back links, and since Google awarded the Page Rank in the first place it sends its spiders to visit them very frequently; some get crawled every couple of hours as these "Authority sites" have such rapid activity that Google doesn't want to miss any new information to present to the their search engine users.
Unfortunately getting onto high PR sites by paying for a link is (very) expensive, especially since the recent re-evaluation of page ranking has reduced the number of higher ranking sites. It can cost anything up to $5,000 a month depending on the advertisement.
Google Snatch gets around this by showing you how to give them content which is worth reading. About.com, for example is an authority site, with a PR8. It's within the top 100 sites visited worldwide according to Alexa.com which could translate to masses of visitors. If you learn to get listed there, you can reap thousands of visitors literally within seconds. There are other ways to earn from these sites and be able to get an incredible number of visitors within seconds, depending on the quality content you give them. Google Snatch gives you over 500 authority sites to choose from.

Advertising Package Special Offer
I've long been a fan of traffic exchanges where you get visitors to your site when you visit the sites of others. Whilst everybody using these sites is primarily interested in promoting a business or opportunity of their own, I've yet to meet anyone who isn't still looking for an additional opportunity or service to generate further income, so the vast majority of surfers are your target audience.
Whilst almost all exchanges offer you the chance to generate visitors at no cost, most offer an upgrade which offers considerable advantages in the way of increased visitor ratios (you need to visit fewer sites to get the same number of visitors) and often includes other benefits.
Of course, just viewing sites can get a little bit boring so the best sites add extra twists to keep you alert and interested. WebCentreSurf has always been one of my favourites as they throw in bonus credits at random intervals (but only if you're paying attention) and after every 50 sites you get a general knowledge quiz with the chance to earn 1000 credits, along the lines of "Who wants to be a millionaire?". For once the questions have a strong British theme but I tend to chicken out at the 125 credit mark so I don't know how tough the later questions are.
This site has always offered one of the best upgrade packages, especially since they increased the packages to include the chance to send a solo ad every month to every member of the program, currently around 22,000. This is in addition to free credits, free referrals and other surfing perks. Every member who reads your solo ad and visits your site earns 10 bonus credits and they are reminded that your message is waiting every time they surf so you are guaranteed a large number of visitors. With upgrades starting at just $5 a month, I didn't think the package could be improved, but I've been proved wrong. Annual upgrades have just been launched for the price of just 9 months, which means you can send 12 solo ads and get all the other upgrade benefits for little over £20. Payment options allow you to pay in the currency of your choice and through paypal, credit card or other online payment options.
