Earning From Home

What Really Makes Money?

One of the biggest problems for anyone trying to work from home is finding the right business for your own strengths. Whilst there may be hundreds of businesses to choose from, only a handful are likely to be suitable for you, but how do you find out without spending a small fortune on guides, training courses, business opportunities etc?

Nick Laight, who has published advice on pretty much every business and income generating opportunity that exists in the UK over the last 15 years, may just have gone a long way to solving that problem. He's currently looking for a handful of people who'd like to start making money from home to try out one or more from a collection of 5 blueprints, working at your own pace and then reporting back to him on your progress.

The businesses you can try are as follows:

• Make as much as £159 per hour or £2370 per week by trading in-demand products on price comparison websites...


• Make £15,000 a year by getting Amazon to sell FOR you worldwide, 24 hours a day, with virtually no overheads and little risk or hassle...


• Turn FREE information that's hidden in your local council's planning office into a £25,000-£79,500 a year part-time sales lead brokerage business...


• Make easy profits on eBay every week by marking up products you bought for peanuts from secret government surplus sales: buy laptops for £45 and sell for £150... make £1,080 profit on a nearly new Land Rover...


• Become a 'bay banker' and make £800-£2,400 a month rolling income from products you'll never see, store, ship or touch...


• He is offering to share these secrets with you for free, and all the money you make from them is yours. You're not even committing to anything - you can choose to do nothing with these blueprints if you want, it's entirely up to you. None of the 5 plans require a great deal of your time to run if you just want to make a few quid on the side to supplement your main income but each is completely scaleable should you want to devote more time and energy to them down the line - and turn them into proper part-time or full-time enterprises.

The blueprints are yours to keep, he'll even post them out to you at his own expense - but in return he'd like you to do something in return; to take a risk free trial subscription to his home business mentoring service What Really Makes Money.

You'll get a full year of his time, with no obligation on your part, during which he'll send you at least another 33 proven home business blueprints - plans that you can put into practice immediately, with next to no cost - until you find one, or more, .that suits your lifestyle and moneymaking ambitions.

Rather than just sending you the blueprints he opens up these opportunities to show you how they work so you'll know in advance how much you could make - and just how much time, money and effort you'll really have to put in before you see any return. Then, on an ongoing basis, you'll get a full and frank analysis of the best and worst opportunities available to you. Plus you'll get continued advice, encouragement and support all the way through the year.

Should you choose to accept this invitation you'll also get the last three issues of What Really Makes Money - the private monthly letter that goes out to his private clients. Each issue contains a brand new business blueprint (so that's three more on top of the five you'll already get!) You'll also find in-depth reviews of the latest business opportunities - both good and bad. You'll get a further 10 private letters over the coming year. (He doesn't publish in July or December)

Every Friday, you also get a free personal email to find out how you're getting on and with the latest updates and you can email him at any time for feedback and advice. He always answer emails personally, despite getting more than 100 a day.

As if that isn't enough Nick is currently offering a special half price first year discount which means all you need to invest is £37 for a full year of advice. Plus You'll also get a full 12 month money-back guarantee! You can take a full year to use the advice, research and contacts however you want and if at any time during the next year the service isn't meeting your expectations - for whatever reason - you can cancel and get a full refund - no questions, no quibbles, no small print or loopholes or get out clauses. You'll get to keep EVERYTHING sent to you in that time - including the five blueprints.

PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITIONS



Competico claims to offer the world's leading online photography contests. Whether you've
been on a family trip recently, captured a fun moment at a friend's birthday party or taken
a funny shot of your pet, you can upload your photos and compete against photographers
from all over the world, and gain not only recognition but the chance to win cash prizes
too.

Prizes are given for the top 3 photos in each contest, plus bonuses for many more
entrants (seems to be anything between 20 and 100+) with the size of the prize
fund dependent on the number of entries. Each contest is limited to a fixed number of
entries typically 150 or 200 but can be as little as 40, giving you a higher
than usual chance of winning.

It's completely free to register and vote, and whilst entering competitions involves a
small fee per upload, usually $2 or $3, when you join you receive $3 free which
you can use to take part in any of these contests.

The winners of all competitions are chosen by the member community and all voters
must be registered members. You vote for your favorite photos and can tell
your family and friends to vote for your photos as well. Each member
can vote for a photo only once, with up to 5 votes per contest.

Unlike similar online photography contests you may have come across, this site is
completely open and transparent with all entries published on the site including details
of all prizes and prize winners.

How To Beat Recession

There can hardly be anyone in the world who isn't affected in some way by the current recession. Whilst most of us have lived through at least one recession already, this one looks likely to be deeper and longer than any in living memory. To help minimise the impact, UK Member of Parliament and successful Internet entrepreneur Michael Green has written a short guide entitled "How To Beat Recession" which contains 101 'Must Have' Recession-Busting Hints & Tips'. Even if you think your job is safe, there are several useful tips and if you think your job may be at risk there's a chapter on recession-proofing yourself, with tips on recesssion-proof careers, as well as sections on increasing your income and cutting your expenditure.

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

Lazy Git Marketing
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.

New Paid To Surf Site
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

Private Label Content
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.
