Who Really Makes Money Working At Home?

Many years ago this concept just blew my mind. Working at home? Can this really be done? It seemed like the only people making money were the one's selling me work at home b.s. After a ton of searching, spending tons of money and some years passing I made it. Now with more people than ever trying desperately to make a living or just make some extra cash online, I decided to get them some help. The one thing that is certain about working from home is that there is a scam around each corner. If you can't find the real methods from all the b.s. then you will go broke before ever making a dollar. Working at home is real. People make millions each year online, and it will continue to grow. If you want to be one of these successful people than continue to read on this squidoo site!

What is working from home? 

Is your plan to work 30 years and hope that you can retire?

What is working from home? Well this is a broad area, but working from home normally means making money online by working at your computer. The truth is a lot of people work from home, but few actually make enough money for it to be there actual job that makes them a living. The problem for most people is that they can't find legit work to be done, or they misunderstand the concept of work. To make money online requires that you must work everyday or as much as you can. You are starting a business. There are other options that can make you money, but they still require work.

I, along with other motivated business partners have made a site that is dedicated in finding legit sites, and programs that give you a chance of making money. Some people will have more success than others, but we have eliminated the scams for you. The programs and sites range from free to join, to a little investment. We have also put a blog that will give free articles with information and tips to help anyone along this journey.

What is important is to realize is this dream of making huge money will not happen overnight. If you are looking for instant riches than play the lotto. Some people will make money quicker than others, but like any business, this requires work. I promise that you will enjoy working at this far better than working your regular job. Come check us out at http://www.worksathome.org

We will be adding some of our blog articles here on our squidoo page. The blog is brand new, and we will be adding more content each week, so continue to check it out.

I hope the best for anyone going on this adventure. Remember that it took me a lot of failures before I made it, so don't give up!

One more thing. Think about your future. If you are reading this, your present situation is not what you want it to be. What is your plan? Work 30 years for a company and hope that you have been able to put back enough to retire. Have you done an estimate of how much money you will need counting inflation? Will this amount get you by until your death? Will you be able to travel the world or even take a vacation? Will you even have a job in 30 years with the same company? When I started out I had a regular job. The guys at my regular job told me I was crazy for thinking I could make big money doing this. I told them crazy was working for a company for 30 years thinking they wouldn't get laid off, setting back money in a 401k thinking it would always gain, and thinking that with inflation they would ever retire. So which is more crazy, putting all your effort into starting a business in an area that is expanding everyday at a huge rate and that cost little money to get started, or working 30 years for a company. If you do the statistics, I will take spending 30 years trying to make money online before I would invest a dime in a 401k. The odds are always in the favor of having success online, versus a 401k making enough for you to retire comfortably. Now I am not saying get rid of your 401k, but just look at what has happened in the last couple of years. You see working at home is not crazy at all, it is a good business decision. So visit us and let's get you started on your online business. www.worksathome.org

Make Money With This Simple Technique 

A lot of you are still skeptical about surveys. I want to preach a little more on our #1 rated survey site, CashCrate. Our whole idea is for you not to be spending much money out of your own pocket when starting your online ventures. Not that if you have the money it is a bad thing, it is just most people don't have the money to spend.



This survey site offers daily surveys that you can complete for around $0.80 each. Most of the time you can do 2 a day. I am not sure if this offer is for anyone anywhere, but I know it can be done by U.S. members for sure. Now this doesn't sound like very much money at all, but let's look at the math. If you spend 15 minutes a day doing these two surveys that is $1.6 a day and around $48 a month. This amount is enough to support many other programs, enough to buy a turnkey site, enough to support the cost of a domain and web hosting, and so on. The idea here is to make money. The idea here is not to be spending very much money out of your pocket. This $48 a month is easy money for your business. Yes it is not a lot, but it is enough to support other business efforts.



This is a really simple 15 minute method to get you started into many ventures to make money. Very little effort gets you around $48 a month. Think if you did more. Think if you used this $48 to advertise for this survey site to get affiliates of your own. Think what would happen if you let them in on this secret. The secret of making $48 for 15 minutes of work and using that money to fund their other ventures.



Get your mind into the possibilities here. I have said over and over that making money online is work, but it can be easy work once you figure things out. This is what this website is all about. Giving you ideas and pointing you in the right direction, away from all the bogus stuff.



I want you to start thinking positive, instead of negative. $48 doesn't seem like what you are looking for, but it really is. This is small work for great returns. This is money used to fund other interest or further you business and money making capabilities.



Think of this. Let's just use the daily survey money from this survey site and nothing else. You use the $48 a month to advertise this survey site using your affiliate link. When affiliates sign up under you, you send them an email from your control panel site about this idea, the $48 a month idea. Remember you get paid on 2 tiers, meaning you get paid on your referrals, and your referral's, referrals. So you use this money to only fund this venture. You advertise on PPC, Craigslist, other classifieds, article marketing and so on. Believe it or not $48 will go a long ways into advertising if you use it right. Let's say you get 20 affiliates a month and 15 take your advice and do the daily surveys for around $48 a month. That is $720 a month, $144 your cut from your affiliates making $48 from 2 daily surveys. At this rate, in 6 months you would have 90 active affiliates doing the 2 daily surveys making them $48 dollars a month. This is $4320 a month, $864 your cut. This is just counting your affiliates, and not the affiliates they refer. Let's get even more realistic. Let's say that out of your 20 affiliates, 15 do the $48 a month and 5 out of these are able to recruit 10 affiliates of their own a month. So 5 of your referrals are able to recruit 10 a piece = 50 second level affiliate referrals for you. Out of that 50, only 35 second level referrals do the $48 a month. This is getting confusing but stay with me. In the first month that puts you making $48 from the daily surveys + $144 from your 15 affiliates + $168 from your second level affiliates = $360. No let's expand this 6 months on this same path. In 6 months you will be making around $48 from the daily surveys + $864 from your 90 affiliates + $1008 from your 210 second level affiliate referrals = $1920 a month.



This is an example to get your mind running. Now this is not a retirement, but it is a heck of a start considering this is one program, and all of this would be done by money you earned from doing 2 daily surveys. So let's do the math here. 2 daily surveys = around 15 minutes a day, 20 minutes a day advertising, and 20 minutes a day sending out emails to your referrals in your control panel telling them about this very subject. Not bad money for that little of effort. This is a pretty mild math example, your numbers could be a lot higher. Also think what would happen if along with the $48, you also started putting some more income from what you were making into more advertising, let's say around $100 + the $48. Your numbers could triple and then the money example above would triple, putting you around $5760 a month. Now I am getting your attention, but you have to set your mind to see the possibilities, instead of looking for that one knock out punch.



Remember the #1 key along with the daily surveys and the advertising is communicating with your referrals. You can borrow this very article, make one similar or just send them to this blog post. This is the key, because you must open their eyes like your eyes have been opened. Think of it this way. How appealing was $48 a month before you read this article. Hope this helped you and you are starting to see what this site is about and how we are here to help you work from home!



If you are not from the U.S you still have the ability to make big money with this program. I don't think you can do the 2 daily surveys, but you can still do the referral part. Your problem will be how to fund this, but there are plenty of free advertising places on the web. I hope to get an article done soon here about where to advertise free, but for now look around and promote this. You are at a disadvantage because you don't have the $48 to work with, but if you can get some free advertising and get some referrals, which shoulld put you on the example path above.

What Is CPA Marketing? 

CPA stands for (cost per action) and is a little different for an affiliate marketer. Most people are familiar with affiliate marketing. If your not then here is a crash course. Affiliate marketing is when you market other people's or company products and get paid a commission. So you make a sale and they make money and you make money. So how is CPA marketing different? CPA pays exactly what is says. Cost Per Action.


So let's put this in prospective. Instead of making a sale and getting paid, you get paid for what? Well it depends on what your marketing. Some companies pay you if you send a customer their way and they capture their email. Others just want their zip code. Others pay you when someone signs up for a free trial or free product. Like I said it really depends on the product your marketing or the company your marketing for.


How does this help you make money? Well, CPA affiliate marketing makes more money most of the time then regular affiliate marketing. Let's say you have a blog and it is getting some visitors. You have monetized the blog with some affiliate products from Clickbank. If your visitor clicks on the ad, the visitor has to buy the product through Clickbank for you to get paid. Normally if the product your promoting on your blog is in coordination with the niche of the blog then your conversion for a relevant Clickbank product is between 1% to 5%. This does depend on the product. If you added CPA relevant offers to your blog, your conversion should be higher. Let's say you get 100 clicks on your ad everyday and 1 person buys the product your promoting everyday from Clickbank. You have a CPA that offers the same payout for signups. You have 100 people click on your ad and 22 convert the CPA offer because they only have to sign up for free. It is up to the CPA company or person to get the signup to convert, not you. CPA offers can increase your online income by leaps and bounds, because they work the rest of the way to get the conversions. All you have to do is get the traffic to them. In a regular affiliate ad you have to get the traffic to them and hope that their landing page will convert the visitor. It is up to you and the product your promoting to sell the customer at the time the visitor comes to the landing page from your ad. If the visitor comes back later and buys, a lot of the times you don't get the money even though you were responsible for sending that customer. CPA offers target visitors by using landing pages that capture the visitor's information. They specialize in making the visitor into a customer. You get paid for getting the visitor's information, not making a sale. I would say that if you make money selling affiliate products, you could probably triple your money by using CPA offers.


So now the question is where do you find CPA offers. Well like Clickbank, CJ, and Paydotcom, there are also brokers for CPA offers. These are the people you need to sign up with. They have tons of CPA offers from all kinds of companies, in all kinds of niches. This CPA marketing is not only for blogs. You can put them on regular websites, build landing pages for specific offers, email you opt-in list, and so on. There are all kinds of offers that fit into any kind of online marketing. We have put links to some quality CPA site below.


Remember these CPA sites don't just allow anyone to advertise their offers. You need to convince them you are worthy. Fill out the application and have a phone conversation with them. Let them know you are going to make them and you money. It might seem like a hassle, but it is worth the extra money you will be making, and it is part of their quality control because of the top advertisers they have.


For those of you that are new to making money online this provides a great opportunity. Please read my blog article about affiliate products. CLICK HERE


Here are links to some great CPA sites. They are not in any specific order. You will want to sign up for as many as you can because different ones have different offers.

What Is Affiliate Marketing? 

Affiliate marketing is something that can make you a ton of money. Here is my basic definition. You partner with other people or companies and sell their products or services. You get paid a commission for doing this. Why is this great? Well if your trying to make money online than you need to sell a product or service, and that is where affiliate marketing comes in. Affiliate marketing is not a myth, it is the way most people make money online.

Why would companies need you? It is really simple. More sales! If a company is selling a product on their website than they need traffic to their website to make sales. They can have the greatest product on earth, but if no one knows about it then they won't be able to sell it. This is where the affiliate marketer comes in. If they advertise the website, they will make money and drive traffic to their site. If they advertise and recruit affiliates to also market their product or service they will drive a lot more traffic and make a lot more sales. It is a win, win situation for all parties. Yes they don't make as much money on the sales, but they make a lot more sales, which is more profitable for them.

For someone trying to make money online this is awesome. You now have a product or service to sell. No writing a book, no inventing, and so on. You have a product or service that you can market just like it was your own. Now granted, it could be more profitable for you to have your own product or service, but if your like me who can't write and can't invent, this gives you the opportunity to make money online.

There are many ways to market affiliate products, or services. If you have a blog than you can find a product or service that fits your niche. Some people build whole websites around affiliate products. Some people have opt-in email list that they can mail affiliate offers to. The ideas are endless on making money with someone else's products or services.

The question I am asked a lot is where do I find affiliate products or services, and which are the best. Most of the time you can scroll to the bottom of a website that is selling a product or service and find their affiliate link, if there is one. Some websites place the affiliate link at the top to make sure it catches your eye. Another idea, which is the way most people go, is to find a affiliate broker. Places like this specialize in finding affiliate offers and recruiting affiliates to market them. I will put some links at the bottom of this post to some of the more popular affiliate brokers. The question of which affiliate products or services are the best really depends on you. Some affiliate offers are better than others. Meaning that some pay more commission than others, some are better products or services, and so on.

You have to feel out which will work for your situation. Put yourself in the buyer's shoes. Would I buy this product or service? It does you no good to market a product on your blog that has a 50% commission if the product is crap. If your new to all this, then research about affiliate marketing. There are a lot of tricks to it, but the main things are, find a product or service that will sell, that has a good commission, and that fits your niche. Meaning if your blog is about weight loss, you wouldn't want to try to sell "marketing software". Like I said the opportunities are endless. If you find a product or service that is great, but doesn't fit your niche, then create a website around the product or service. Always think outside the box.

This is an amazing opportunity for you to make money online. Understand that you just solved one of the major problems in business, which is having a product or service to sell! With this opportunity comes a lot of research and learning. That is why on the home page we ask for you to get involved in multiple programs and sites. This allows you to start learning different areas of making money online. Affiliate marketing is in some of the programs on the main page, and the more you learn, the better you will get, and the more money you will make.

Here are some links to affiliate brokers below. You will have to sign up for some of them. They are not in any particular order and there are a lot more that are not listed here. You can always search affiliate in Google to find more. Remember to check out my article on CPA (Cost Per Action) affiliate marketing Here. CPA has even more exciting opportunities and is the way to the big money most of the time!

Market Health

Affiliate Health Products: 

If your new to affiliate marketing please read my article about affiliate marketing by clicking HERE and then come back and read this article.

A question I am asked is where do I find health products to market on my blog and websites. There are many health products in all affiliate brokers, but the one I use most is Market Health. They are super, super, super!!

Ok let's get to it. This site has it all for the experienced affiliate marketer to the brand new beginner. They have tons of products. Some of the offers are cost per action, some are based on sales. They have no banner, free hosting for those on a tight budget and they have a complete business setup for those who are new, or just want to get another online business website up and running quick.
Click Here for the business setup!.

I use them because of the huge variety of health products, the design of the websites the products are on and the fact that the products are quality and sell! Now I don't want you to think that it is all about me pitching and trying to sell you. I promise that they are quality and the best I have found towards health product promoting.

Along with all that I have mentioned they have a huge control center with all kinds of articles and information, aimed at helping you make money. Remember if you make money, they make money.

For the more advanced they have the ability to set up a full pre-made website on most of the products they offer. Yes, you heard me. All you have to do is buy a domain, set up hosting, and download their file. Example: You buy a domain targeting anti aging. You download the file that is already set up with your affiliate links, and bam, you have a full blown website with products and links to other health products that you make money off of also.

What I am trying to do is open your eyes to all the ways you can make a fortune and this is one I have used on many fronts to make cash. If you are a beginner and tied up in other programs, remember to bookmark this one or come back. If you already have a health blog, than this would fit perfect and increase your income big time. Remember they have CPA offers too. If you don't know what that is please read my article on CPA Affiliate Marketing by clicking HERE.

The end point is now you have another weapon to make money. Like I said they have tons of products in all different niches. This is important because you must find a niche that is not overrun with competitors, unless you already have a blog that is doing good in weight loss or something like that. Remember, think outside the box! This site will help you do that. So add it to your growing arsenal, and continue on your road to working at home and making a profitable online business. Remember that if you are brand new and have no idea about domains, hosting, and so on, they will build you a website and take care of everything else HERE. This is a good starting point for a beginner to get their foot in the door of working at home, along with the products and sites on the main page HERE.

Selling Smart, Not Greedy 

Selling products or services is where the real money is on the internet. Now I have given you places to find quality products and services in previous post. These previous post had to do with marketing someone else's product as an affiliate. Now I want to get into marketing and selling products in general. On the main page of our website there is a section on wholesale dropshippers. This is where you sell a product and have a wholesaler ship the product directly to the customer. This type of money making system has been going on for years, but with eBay it really exploded.

EBay is the industry standard for goods. If your looking to buy a TV at a store, then you go to eBay to see what the average price for the same TV is there. Most sites have to compete with eBay's low prices and if they don't stay competitive then they are out of business.

What this does is give you a huge market place to sell goods. The problem is being able to have products that will actually sell and make you money. Many people spend their weeks going to flee markets and garage sales finding those products. The wholesale dropshipper is your resource for goods. This gives you the ability to sell quality items without warehousing them. These products can be put on any website or you can create a website of your own selling these products. Imagine having a website that sells TV's without ever having to warehouse one TV.

Before we go further let me clue you in on some things. Prices will make or break you. You can not be greedy. You have to stay competitive because I promise that people will check your price against your competitor. Even if you are wholesaling TV's on your own website, people will check other places before buying from you. If you can't compete with other people's prices then try to investigate where they are getting their product from. If you can't find this out, then move onto another niche, because you won't make any money unless you are competitive.

Another idea I am going to show you are digital products. We have added a new section to this site called the FREE ZONE. These are free digital products that can help you out and an example of what digital products are. 99% of these products came from this source HERE.

This idea is not new either, but most people don't know where to get digital products to sell. The link above has hundreds of digital products that you can market on eBay or your own site. Some come with a pre-made site and sales letter that you can upload. If they come with this then you have a website and a product.

Now a lot of you are holding your breath thinking that eBay banned the sell of digital items back in March08. You are right, but you have to think outside the box. No you can no longer put a eBook, domains, websites, software, and so, on a regular eBay auction. EBay wants you to put these products on their classifieds section, which will cost you almost $10 the last time I looked. There is no way to make money doing it this way. What you can do is sell the eBooks as regular books. Meaning you print the eBook out and ship it. Or for eBooks and software you can auction the hardcopy book, or software cd you burned for shipment, but include your website where the customer has the option to download it instantly. By using this method, you will probably make even more sales from customers going to your website, per auction and pay less to eBay. The site with the digital products I gave you above, also has many products that are audio or video, where you just copy them to dvd, or cd and ship them after a sale. Make sure you watch your shipping. This can eat you alive. Offer shipping only in the country you live, and tell others that live outside your country to go to your website for instant download. If you don't have a website, you really need to set one up. I haven't done this, but I am pretty sure you can set all this up through a Squidoo page. Read my article about Squidoo on this blog for more information about this wonderful free site.

If you are going to sell digital products on eBay, then don't be greedy also. No one is going to buy an eBook "converted to paper back by you" about golf for $30. If you are going to make money at this, volume is the way to go. If you try to sell an eBook about golf for $30, you might get 1 sale running this eBook in 25 auctions. If you sell the eBook for $3, then you will probably make 5 sales for 5 auctions. Think about the math with just this one eBook. Example: You make 5 auctions for this eBook for one day all at different times. Let's say you only sell 4 of the 5 and you set the price at $3. That is $12 a day and around $360 a month for one eBook on eBay. Think if you had 5 eBooks and running 5 auctions a day on each book. That is around $1800 a month, minus of course the eBay fees. Like I said though, if you offer them an option to download instant from a website or Squidoo page you set up, your sales could be even higher. You could run 5 auctions a day per book, on 5 eBooks "converted" with option of instant download and end up making 15 sales an auction! Now your eyes are starting to open. Now like I said the site above has hundreds of eBooks in all different niches, not to mention software and graphic products. There is a ton of digital products and the owner updates this site with new stuff all the time. They are all gained legally, the site owner goes around and buys these products. Most of the big hyped up sales letters you read on the internet are people selling these products. Yes I am probably in trouble for letting this secret out, but my goal is for you to make money!

So let us recap. You now have a source on the main page for a wholesale dropshipper. This gives you access to a ton of products to sell on eBay or a website with markup, to make money. You now have access to a big digital products site. This gives you huge access to tons of eBooks, software, and graphic products, website templates, and more that you can sell on eBay or a website. You know how to get around the eBay ban on digital products and how this can make you even more sales. You understand that to make money you must not be greedy and that volume is the key. You understand you must research your competitors, buy looking around at eBay, Amazon, or other websites. You understand the math of selling an eBook for $3 instead of $30 and with the volume of sales, you can make big money working at home. Finally you now have a free trial kit link below that will give even more knowledge and secrets about selling on eBay. Keep checking back because I will be adding more places to sell digital products and more valuable information.

Opt-In--Auto-Responder?? 

What the heck is an opt-in list. An opt-in list is a list of subscribers that you send email to. For example you add a news letter to your website. People who visit your website subscribe to this newsletter to stay updated on the latest things and information. That is one example, another that you see a lot is free information or giveaways. We have all seen it. A landing page with a promise of free items or a free trial and so on. Some people use this as a way to catch your email. They then send a email with permission making sure you want to receive information from that specific website. This email with a verification link, is you opting to receive emails from that website, and makes the website less likely to get reported as spamming.



Some will notice that we don't have a news letter on this website. We are getting to that, but generally all the information, programs, and sites we think that are valuable are on this site or blog already. We will hopefully soon start a mailing list giving out even more information that helps you make money.



Now back to the mission at hand.



The reason I am telling you about this is this is a very valuable tool. People make millions off just mailing their huge opt-in email list affiliate offers. Granted this doesn't help 90% of you reading this because you don't have a huge email list, but the idea here is to create one so it can help you in the future.



I am not a big fan of the sites that have a sales or landing page and try to capture the email there. We do have some good offers on our main page that employ this technique, and sometimes if they are good companies with good products, I don't mind getting emails every once and a while about products or information. In the past I, like many of you have been taken advantage of with mass emails. Since everyone as dealt with spam, you know this is no fun, and you know this is a road you don't want to go down with your website.



The information I am trying to get across to you is that if and when you set up your website, at some point and time you should set up a news letter. This allows you to provide your customers and visitors with information and keeps your website in their minds. You can also provide the occasional products or website you might be promoting if you think it will help your audience.



The mistakes I see a lot are people doing are getting a mailing list, then bombarding their mailing list with affiliate offers. Any reputation you had with your website, goes down the drain by doing this. There are people that I thought very highly of that I no longer even read emails because of them doing this. I see no point in working very hard to build a email list to destroy it with this kind of bombardment. The other mistake I see are people getting a mailing list, sending only an email every week or two. Now this is fine, but they still only advertise products in the emails.



You have to build your reputation with people you are mailing. Send them information, tell them about special discounts or new areas of your site. Tell them about other interesting websites that could give them information. Then send the occasional email promoting something that will help them. Don't send them crap to buy, and make that all you ever send them.



You also need to make the emails relevant to your niche. If your website is about golf, it doesn't make sense to send them information about cars, or making money. Send them relevant info, products and sites. Make yourself an authority on your niche and be there to help.



Now that was the hard part. The easy part is how you set all of this up. You need an auto responder service for all of this. There are several on the web. Some cost and I have heard of some free ones, but never tried them. As usual, you can search Google for "auto-responders" I personally use this one HERE. It has a great reputation and is used by a large group of people. It is not free, but is not that expensive either.



If you want a different one than the one I mentioned, be careful. Like with any service for 1 good one, there are 20 scams or bad ones. The last thing you want is to build a huge news letter email list and then lose it because you chose a crappie service. Which brings me to another thing. Always back up your mailing list.



Now with the service I use, you can setup different things which you want mailed, the dates, and time when they need to go out. For example: A visitor subscribes to your newsletter. The auto-responder immediately sends an email to verify the email account, welcome the visitor, and make sure they want to opt-in. Then you set up another email to go out the next day after the visitor subscribed giving him some helpful information and giving more detail about your site and its mission. A week after the visitor subscribes, another information email goes out with helpful information, and so on, and so on. You can set all this up in advance. You can set a whole article series you wrote to go out at certain times and weeks for your visitors. It is really simple to maintain.



Another tip. If you have a blog with your website and you post a new article, add a snippet to your auto-responder and send it. This allows your subscribers to see that you have a new post and decide if they want to visit your blog. More than likely they will come to the blog and read the whole article. Just remember the important part is not sending advertisements or products every time. If you have a product that you are excited about than go ahead and send it if it is relevant, but don't send another product the next day. This will make you hated, no matter how good the two products are. In fact if you are too lazy to send anything but products, there really is no point is even trying this method, because you will hurt your website in the long run.



One thing I forgot to mention. You can give free products, to get people to subscribe to your mailing list. You can read my blog post about the digital and eBay products HERE. This article includes a place to get a ton of digital products. You can also find an eBook or something on your own. Just make sure you have the right to give it away. You can also use this method on landing pages. We put 54 landing pages and other helpful things in our Free Zone page. The form used for the subscription or opt-in are found at the auto-responder I gave you or should be found at the one you are going to use.



Remember this is a technique to use along your working at home journey. It will make you money, if you don't abuse it. This is not something that you need to focus on now if you are a newbie, just something you need to remember to do later. Right now as a newbie, you need to get into some of the programs on the first page and start making money. Then your next step is to get websites of your own up, letting the money your making fund this. Then set up your news letter. I just wanted to throw this in here because I know there are hundreds of make money sites selling this info as a "Big Time Secret That Will Make You Millions!".
Now you know the big secret they are selling for $40.00.

Surveys? Why? 

I mentioned on the main page that surveys have a bad reputation and so on. If you read the main page you know why they have a bad reputation and I have listed the best survey sites I have found. So with that said what is this all about?

You are looking for a way to make money online. You might have had some success, or you might be a newbie. Either way most people's goal is to make a fortune and do away with your regular job. Well, let's get one thing straight first. Working online is WORK. Yes you might try one of my programs and make huge money overnight, but for the most part you will have to work at it. That is why I stress entering into multiple programs, but do not do more than you can handle. This will be a completely new area for most of you with a ton of info. It will take effort for you to learn tons of ways to make money online.

With that said I wrote this to explain how I got started and a road for you. Survey sites will make you extra income, but you will have to work. What I want you to achieve is financial independence, but I don't want you going broke trying to accomplish this. This is why the first page is set up to give you the best offers I have found with the greatest chance of success. Now all of you reading this will have different budgets. For those who are on a tight budget surveys are the way to go. The reason is you have to keep food on the table for you and your family and that is your priority!

Most people fail because they have the expectation that they will make millions over night. They go out and spend a ton of money on stupid programs or scams and then give up because they had no success. Or they go out spend a ton of money and then give up because they didn't give any effort and expected money to fall out of the sky. You have to work at it. Some will work harder than others. Some will have success with a program I mentioned on the first page and others might not. The point I am trying to make is do not give up. People make money all day, everyday online and you can too.

So back to surveys. Here is what I did to get started. After spending a fortune and being scammed I had enough. I decided that I was going to get back to basics. I started back with surveys. I worked very hard and made money. This money supported my other online ventures. The more money I made, the more I could put towards new programs, or to expanding things I was already doing. Point being if you are on a tight budget then start this way and build. Don't go spend the grocery money if you don't have it. Make money to expand your ventures.

Surveys provide this opportunity. Let's take a look at the survey site I have ranked #1. It is free to sign up so your starting your online venture for nothing. That's it, start doing surveys. Take the offers, and spend time reading. Most offers are trials that you can return without being charged. Yes it is a hassle. They make it a hassle because this is how they make money, but if they are going to pay you 50 bucks to take an offer that you can return, then that is 50 bucks in your pocket, or towards your new online business ventures for a little hassle.

Will survey sites make you rich. Well it depends on the effort, but if you are talking about just taking surveys than no. This will make you extra income, which you might need to pay bills, or you can use to start other programs, or both. Let's look again at my ranked #1 survey site. It has an affiliate program. Meaning, you can refer people to this site and earn 20% of what they make off of taking surveys. You can also make 10% off of the people your referrals refer. Is this a pyramid scheme? NO! This is a simple affiliate program, that allows you to make big money.

So I have given you a site that is free to sign up and make money taking surveys and doing promotions. You will also make money for referrals, and their referrals. Let's do the math on the potential. Let's say you get 100 referrals by advertising on your blog, or in your local classifieds. Your 100 refer 10 a piece giving you 1000 second level referrals. Your hundred make about 5 bucks a month, per referral, which makes you $100.00. Your 1000 second round referrals make $5 per referral, making you $500.00. That is $600 a month not counting what your making off of taking surveys and promotions. Not to mention that the % of what you make goes up when you refer more people. $5 a refer is also pretty low. People can make much more than that by doing the surveys and promotions. This site also gives bonuses to you for money your referrals make that I did not figure in. This site also has contest with money prizes that I did not figure in.

The point is you have to be positive and think outside the box. This site I am handing you alone can make you enough money to quit your job and be financially independent. You will have to work though. I know no one likes doing work, but trust me it is a whole lot better waking up and going to your computer, than going to a regular job. Maybe your not good at selling door to door, but no one is asking you to. Think what brought you here. People are looking for a way to make extra money. This site sells itself. All you have to do is think outside the box. Like I said before, classified ads, start a blog, so on. Get creative, because this is going to be your job. You probably don't like doing have the stuff you normally do at your regular job, but you do it because you need the money. This is the same principle, but a whole lot easier.

When you look at the potential of this site and then realize it is just one of many ways to work at home you can see why I am excited, and why you should be too. Keep coming back to this blog as I will be adding more and more articles, covering many areas. Remember Do Not Get Overwhelmed. Rome was not built in a day!
Good luck!

Working At Home 

YOU WILL NEVER GET RICH WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.



Pretty fair, harsh statement, but it is the truth. If you are working for someone else, no matter how great the work is, you will always be at the mercy of that employer. A lot of you are or have already found this out with the massive layoffs going on. Look I hate money. I believe money is the root of all evil, but without money life is pretty tuff. I wish that everyone could live in harmony working their trait and then spend the rest of the day pursuing what they love. This is a fantasy world right. It doesn't have to be, but this kind of life takes work itself.



Think about how much of your life has been about money. All through high school and college everyone but my parents told me to become a money maker. To study for a job that would make good money, not study for what I love. How much of your life because of your job has been spent away from your family, moving to places you would never live, traveling, and dealing with greedy corrupt people? Do you really plan on working a job like this for another 5, 10, 30 years?



The world needs workers to help the rich get richer.



This is also harsh, but another statement you need to hear. Working people make rich people richer. I have met a lot of people in my life. One thing I can tell you is that wealthy people are not geniuses or prodigies. There are a few out there, but most wealthy people put one pant's leg on at a time, like my father says. They are people that are no smarter than you, they just have more knowledge in how to make money, they came from wealth, or they caught some lucky breaks.



It takes money to make money!



This is also the truth. This is what separates you from being wealthy. If you had money to toss away, you could try all kinds of online working at home programs. You could trade stocks all day until you found that penny stock that went to a dollar. It is extremely hard to spend money you don't have on dreams and there lies the problem.
Now I don't want to upset any of you, but I want you to open your eyes. Working at home is not a dream. A dream is working a job and getting by thinking one day you will have enough money in your 401k to retire. To understand what I am talking about let's get into inflation.



What cost $1 in 2000 would cost $1.24 in 2009. This is crazy but you need to start thinking about this. When I was a little younger I always heard if I had a million dollars I could retire. That is still true in most parts of the world, but it would be really difficult in the U.S. Let's get back to more inflation.



$1,000,000 in 1983 had the same buying power as $2,147,148.59 today 2009.



That is 26 years. Generally in order to even get close the 1 million mark in your 401k, you would have to work and contribute for 25-30 years. Some of you might be thinking that the interest off your 401k would grow big time in these years. Well, how many stock market crashes have we seen in the last 26 years? How many people lost ½ to 2/3 of their 401K in this last year? How much will 1 million dollars depreciate in the next 10, 20, 30 years? All I am asking is for you to do the math, and be realistic with yourselves and family. Take a look and play around with the numbers yourself here.



When I do the math I see the majority of the U.S. and the World making under $100,000 a year. I see people never being able to really retire and live free like they dreamed. I see people not being able to put near the amount needed in their 401k to reach 1 million before and I see people not wanting to put any amount in their 401k now. I see people living paycheck to paycheck everyday. I see people not able to last 6 months without revenue coming in.



Am I saying all this to upset you? No! Most people live in a fantasy world. They don't like to think about the future and if they do think about it, they lie to themselves about what they will be able to do in their golden years. You know what I am saying is true; you just don't want to give up that lie. For most of you this lie is the only thing that gets you through each day.



Let's look at some facts. The internet is growing, and will continue to have huge growth for the next 30 years and more. This is the opportunity of a life time. I always heard stories of have my great grandfather was able to work for a guy and in return the guy paid him in land. How my grandfather could go into the local bank and ask for huge money to buy a piece of land, cattle, or for a business venture. In those days you could take risk with your bank right behind you funding your every step. Today you have to have collateral, impossible credit score, business plan, operational business showing profit 5 years, your right arm cut off, and the deed to everything you own.



Look 90% of the millionaires in the world are small business owners. With it impossible to get a loan for a business, the internet is the place to be. This is a frontier that cost very little money to get into and is very forgiving. Example: you do manage to come up with 20% down for a Small Business Loan and you start your business. For most of us, this is everything and if it fails, that's it. You tried and you failed. Research how many business fail each year. Now think about the internet. Even if you spend $2000 on your working at home business and it fails, you can recover and trust me you will have failures. You will still be able to try again, because this possible failure won't ruin you. Most successful people failed many, many times before making it big.



Now I am not saying don't save money, but think about the odds. I will take the odds of succeeding with a working at home business after trying for 26 years any day before putting in a 401k for 26 years. If you only tried 1 working at home business a year that is 26 chances of being financially independent and living the life you always dreamed of versus hoping you don't get laid off more than 3 times, hoping you 401k gains always, and hoping inflation stops.


Working at home is broken down into many things like home business, websites, actually doing a work at home or freelance job and so on. I never really focus on getting paid per hour or per job when it comes to working from home because it is the same as having a dead end job. If you're going to do this, why not go the whole way and start a home business where you are in charge and you control what you make.


This is not a get rich quick game. For those of you out there looking for that knock out punch or over night program, you are living in a fantasy world. It will take work to work at home and be successful, but this is a realistic goal. If I came to you and told you there was gold in that mountain, but you would have to dig 10 or 100 feet for it, would you? The internet is that gold, but you have to work for it. Along the road you will learn how to mine, better ways to dig, easier ways to dig, and when you finally get to that gold you will have knowledge and money that will change you life.



So come check us out, and let's get busy making your dreams happen!
