Work From Home Info

Online marketing and working from home is an option many are flocking to in these times of recession, and while an income is absolutely achievable, it will take time, work and persistance.

It helps if you've got a little money to get going with, but lots of free software is available to help cut startup costs. As I have started my marketing from a no income, no credit situation, I'll tell you that it can be done, it's slower and more time involved as you definitely trade your time when there's no money to invest.

While I do link to things which hopefully you'll find useful enought to try out so I'll earn some money, the information here is totally free. The idea of giving to others first to create a void for the universe to fill is a great concept and seems the most ethical way to do business.

There's really no great secret to making money online - it's merely helping people find products they may not have otherwise known about. All the hugely popular websites have ads on them that they receive money when people click on them, and many people have little realization that the ads may not actually be endorsed by the huge website - they're just there to produce income.

I want to give as much information as I can to help demystify the process of generating income online. As there is tons of information, and some intentional misinformation (not from me), I'll be adding more tips and explanations as frequently as I can, so please check back occasionally.

"CheckThemOut1st.com is a commercially operated website (hence the .com) and all products and information linked to will generate a commission for the owner. This commission is paid by the owner of the product, and does not increase the cost to you in any way."

One avenue where many people get their start trying to advertise their product or service online when there's no or low budget is with Traffic Exchanges. As the name implies, you trade your time by viewing other offers and other members in turn, view yours.

Most TE's encourage you to sign up free, although upgrading if you can afford to do so will usually mean you earn more credit for your surfing and earn higher commissions if you like the site and bring in new members.
 
Below are several of the TE's I use for advertising my sites.
When you click on the links you'll go to their main pages and if you like what you see and sign up, I'll get credit for referring a new member, and in the members' area, you'll be given links you can use in the same way. More members is great for everyone!

An added bonus if you refer people to a TE you like, is that most will award you a % of your referral's surfing credits. The more people you refer, the more credits you receive from their surfing, meaning your sites get viewed more times - meaning more sales for your surfing efforts.
The 2 Traffic Exchanges listed below are the ones that give me the best results, of the 15 I use.

One popular method of getting people to try software products to help them market products online is to allow potential customers to download and try the product out.
 
The makers of the products stand behind them with moneyback guarantees, and will send me a little money if you decide to make a purchase from having visited here to find out about them.

Below are some freely downloadable .pdf files commonly called e-books. The e-books are totally free and feel free to pass them around.

There's excellent information in them, and if you should click on links in them, I'll be given credit for having gotten the authors a new visitor.

Everyone needs some fun in their lives, and below are some sites for all kinds of fun stuff. They're not free sites, but they are inexpensive and all have great money back guarantees if you're not satisfied.


Again, if you like them enough to join, I'll get credit for introducing a new member. This doesn't increase the cost to you, it's how companies get new users who might not have found their site any other way.

There are many different systems and ways to make honest money online, the list below is just a starting point.

If you shop at Amazon.com, or know people who do, Why not become an Amazon Affiliate? The link below will take you to the sign up page, where you can begin to earn a % of all purchases made by people who used your link to shop Amazon.com. Your friends and family who already shop Amazon.com will probably be more than happy to do their shopping through your site, earning you a commission. You don't have to worry about stocking products, Amazon.com does everything for you!

If you are pregnant, or are a new mom, or know people who are, this could be a great way to both earn and save money. I've located a site that carries tons of maternity items, cloth diapers, natural baby needs, you name it!

By clicking here you can join as an affiliate, and they allow you to purchase through your own links to earn 10% commission! How cool could that work out?

It gets even better though, as an affiliate, you can use your links in your own blogs or websites to earn 10% of sales, and when you use the link they give you to let others in on the affiliate program, you'll earn 5% from their sales too!

Everybody wins this way, the company sells its great products, you and people you tell about this can save 10% on what you need, earn 10% from what other people need, and another 5% from the people you told about its sales or purchases.

When you've decided you're going to earn money online, you'll need a way to get that money from your customer. Some of the bigger and widely accepted companies are listed below.

They're the easy and fast way to get paid for almost anything on the web that you're involved in and they handle the credit card or other payments so you don't have to.

For PayPal, you'll need a Premier Account in order to accept payments, but it's free to upgrade to that. A really convenient aspect of PayPal is that you can get a debit card from them to access your account when you begin making money online.
 
As before in this site, if you decide to join through my link, I get credit for introducing a new customer.
