Online marketing and working from home is a
dream 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.
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 5 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 dowload 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 first one is a
pdf , the others I've zipped and you'll need an
unzipping program before you'll be able to read
them. 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. Simply
right click on the title and choose "save as" to
download.
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.
Why would you want to pay for a membership with a
downloads site when you can find things free on
torrents or file sharing sites? The safety and
speed of downloading are two huge reasons why.
The movies, games, etc. in the membership site
will be free of viruses and malware. Also, you'll
be getting original quality movies and music,
which are not assured from freely downloaded
files.
Another factor is savings, the sites I list are
1 time fee to begin downloading with no
limits, and also provide members with programs
to burn the files to DVD or tranfer to other devices.
If you're currently using a service like NetFlix(tm),
This one time fee will begin paying for itself in
just a few months.
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.
(Sorry, due to the sites I was linking to having
changed providers or gone offline altogether without
notifying me, several of the below links are temporarily
vacant while I research new companies.)
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 an 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 it's 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 it's 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.
Just
as with anything in life, there are pitfalls to working from home on
the internet. So far this year, 2 sites I've been members of for over 9
months have failed.
It's very tempting to
join a site that is just starting up, on the hopes that their business
will thrive and you'll have been in the right place, at the right time.
Unfortunately, you run the risk of them just disappearing or find out
that their business model didn't actually work as advertised.
Mid-January, the site VineFire, which was a site based on adding
web-links to pages which other members could vote on the site's
quality, and earn small amounts per link added and/or voted on, Just
dropped off the internet with no warning. My earnings there of over
$7,800 disappeared as well, in the blink of an eye.
Another site that showed promise, PeopleString, just last week
terminated my account of over 10 months, because I was asking in the
public forums there, why the revenue sharing payouts weren't being done
as had been advertised. Rather than answering my question, the owner
cited a supposed violation of their terms of service, and shut me out
of my account. While they may have made changes in the T.O.S. since
then, the ones I have copies of don't have any mention that I could
find, of anything I had done that was a violation.
PeopleString's most prominent advertising is based on being able to
receive postal and email advertising and earn money for reading the
ads, calling the program "Mailbox/Cashbox". Good draw to get people in,
but there were only 15 total in Nov. & Dec 2009, and none at all so
far for 2010 - and I never found anyone who claimed to have received
even a single paid email.
Part of their front page claims also states that users will receive
$0.50 per friend that they invite who joins the site, it's not until
you join, that you discover that you only receive that $0.50 IF the
friend is able to complete a 30 question survey, and receive a
confirmation postcard at a U.S. or CAN. home address, and enter the
confirmation code in the PeopleString site.
As there are very few written instuctions on the site as to details of
it's workings, the increasing numbers of users coming from outside the
U.S./Can. tend to ask in the forums for help understanding. The typical
responses are that their countries will be added sometime in the
future, with no mention of the fact that mb/cb isn't working on a
daily, or even monthly basis in the u.s./can. yet.
