Helping you find work at home

Can you work at home

     Many people are stuck in the same situation, no money and no way out. Our economy is not doing good right now, and honestly I think it is going to be a while before it is. There is a tiny gleam of hope, working on the Internet, but be careful, all that glitters is not gold. Here are a few things you should understand about working at home online.

     One, Everything doesn't work, there are online jobs available that simple try to rip you off. Two, some people do make money online, everyday in fact. While this is not easy or always the case, most of our attempts are cut short by scams and deceit. A lot of this has to do with other people making money, not you. If you did not realize, we are not all the masters of manipulation that some people may be, cleverly placed words and pictures can lead our minds to a hectic place. This is where we think we hit gold, but we actually hit a wall. I have had my share of experiences of trying to work at home, and I will share a few of them now.

     Do you ever get so excited about something that you see online, that you smile from ear to ear . I do it all the time, maybe I am gullible I am not sure. This happens to a lot of us, and for some of us there is good reason. There are opportunities out there for us, so lets start easy.

Survey says

     Yes yes, surveys. Surveys are a good way to make money, if you can find a site to pay you well. Some sites give you, say, 50 cents per survey which honestly is not to bad. There are several "survey sites" that are actually links to survey sites. You should be weary of sites like this, becuase they are set up to get your information to send it out to survey sites. This in turn will lead to a lot of spam, and a giant waste of your time. Remember, there are sites that do pay. Just realize though, that this is going to take a lot of time to make it worth your while. A couple of extra bucks every week can help though.

Marketing

     I was sure I hit the jackpot with this. My first experience, of online business, was with something called Affiliate Marketing. This is interesting, you market someone else's product or service for them. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? You do not need inventory, you do not have to bother with products, or with shipping. You can do this job from anywhere with the Internet, no shop required. There are many sites where you can become an affiliate marketer, one of which is CLICKBANK.COM. If you are interested, that is a good place to start. There are sites that can explain the whole process easily for you. There is no limit to your success here, if you know how to sell it. You must be aware that you do have to put in work. There are no short cuts to success.

Blog

     Yes, if you did not know, you can get paid to blog. If you have a lot to say, start saying it. The site you are on right now is a good choice. What happens is that you will get google AdSense connected to your page. After you write what you want to and post it, google AdSense will post ads that relate to your article on your page. If these ads get clicked on, you can get money. There are many reasons for this to work, or fail. When you blog your chances can be drastically improved with good writing skills, and interesting subjects. However, your writing is only limited by your imagination, so go crazy. Spreading the word about your blogs is essential to having good traffic and more views. This goes in turn with affiliate marketing, your ads surrounding your hub will be your income.

Ideas

     There are places online that can buy your ideas. This is where your imagination can shine. Have an idea for a great movie or story? Do you have an idea for a new or existing product? Do you have something funny to say, you could put it on a shirt, hat, clock. Well, get your ideas out there. There are sites dedicated to just that. I do not know much more about this subject, but for the inventor or the imaginative it is worth looking into.

Crafts

     Do you like making crafts? Why not try your hand and basket weaving or pottery. There are sites specifically for buying and selling crafts, some of which have a small fee for selling or posting your products. Anything can be sold on these sites from ash trays to candles. If you have something you make, even as small as bracelets and charms, then this is worth checking out. You never know who is looking for what you have.

Auction

     If you have extra stuff at home, and you do not want or need it, then here is a good idea. Auctions are a great way to get extra money into your pocket. There are many auction sites you can get into online, that provide a true value to you.... Customers. Millions of people buy and sell online everyday. There are many tutorials to help you along.

      Just a little side note to auctions, there are auctions sites that can be just as useful to you if you do not have the money. These sites are more like trading sites, they use credits instead of money to bid...the most you have to pay for is shipping. This can help you find things you may want without the use of money... like baby clothes or anything really. Check it out here http://www.listia.com/?r=52056

     While this is only a small list of things to do, I believe you can make money on the Internet. Doing your homework is going help more than anything. Is it going to be easy? Depends, do you like to click or type.
