Process Rebates at Home, Earn Money

It sounds like a great deal doesn't it, you can process rebates at home and earn $15.00 for each one that you complete. I thought it sounded good. I searched the Internet, I didn't see anything negative and I invested (this was about 3 years ago, but I am still receiving e-mails regarding rebate processing, so I thought I would go over it again). That is when I found out what rebate processing really means. Rebate processing is Affiliate work.

Companies like virtual-training-solutions.com, RebateProcessorJobs.com and rebateproccessingjob.com, are not hiring you to work for them and then paying you by the piece. Which is what I though when I first read their websites (by the way all three companies owned by the same person).

Let me save you the $39 - $89 it takes to join these programs.

Sign up for a Clickbank account, find a product that you want to sell. Place an ad to sell the product and in that ad, state that you will give them a rebate of $8.00 just for purchasing the product. Now you will receive $23.00 for selling the product, you return $8.00 to the original purchaser and you keep $15. You just received $15.00 for processing a rebate!

There do you feel that information is worth $39? I don’t, I felt and still feel that I was mislead and scammed. Can the system work, yeah it is a good idea, I understand where they were trying to go with it. But the they should have described it just as I described it to you and not lied to me, I would have felt better about the whole thing.

Their members web site is pretty good, it will give you a list of site to post free ads to sell your item and sample ads, the information is there, but they lied to get me there and that was frustrating and upsetting.

In addition, what they don't tell you is that if the person returns the product clickbank, refunds the money to them and then takes it out of your account. Now you have lost the $23.00 of earnings and you paid an $8.00 rebate which is gone. All and all I do not feel that this is not a good legitimate way to make money the Internet.

What Does RICH Mean To You

I came across this article and I thought you would enjoy it.

What Does RICH Mean To You?
by: Paul Mara


Have you ever been asked that question?

I was!

Back in 1979 while doing a “pressure cooker” course on selling with an insurance company!

I wondered how relevant that question was, considering my personal and financial situation at the time.

No wife!

No job!

I was a solo dad with three children, one of them a baby less than a year old.

“You must be kidding”, I thought to myself at the time!

What relevance can that have to me learning to sell insurance policies?

How naive I was!

The course that followed had an unbelievably positive and a life changing effect on me. Although it only took affect several years later. The seed had been sown!

You’re probably saying to yourself, “How can a course on selling life insurance have that much effect on anyone?”

Well that Insurance Company was the one created by W Clement Stone.

I found the course to be very challenging, because in New Zealand at that time we weren’t really aware of the “Hype” that Americans used to motivate their workers to perform at their optimum. It pleases me each time I think about it now, to know that I passed, top of the class and received a book as a reward, this book was already a best seller, but I’d never heard of it.

Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, of which W Clement Stone was co-author with Napoleon Hill. They shared their secrets on becoming wealthy and having a healthy, productive lifestyle, utilising the power of a "positive mental attitude". Sadly my motivation and my persistence waned and I stopped selling insurance.

I kept all the information, studies and the book I had won.

The “BOOK” Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, which I never opened or read for probably 3 years.

However I did continue two very positive things! I continued to read on a daily basis some of his quotes and I even put them on the wall. My two

favourites were;

“Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying” and

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”.

The second thing and the one which I believed the most important was “Goal Setting” I enjoyed the challenge and had learned enough during the course to

realise its long term value.

Life began to take several steps in the right direction not major ones, but positive ones.

Several important things happened in my life over the next 12 years.

Around 1981-2 I began reading, Through a Positive Mental Attitude,

I applied so many of their ideas and formulae, and by 1992 mine and my families life had completely turned around, this included a wonderful wife and two more children and a list of goals I had made in 1986 after father passed away, became a reality.

I had arrived finally, or so I thought, and was ready to respond to the question that still continued to bother me after all those years.

What Does RICH Mean To You?

I had some answers!

That’s what I believed anyway!

1 - " A consistent income created from hard work

2 - " A healthy family

3 - " A loving wife and loving children

4 - "A nice car

5 - " A great holidays

There are other things, but they are either directly or indirectly related to the above list.

Even now when I look at that list it seems to have “hit the nail on the head”.

Then within three years it all slowly began to fall apart, business wise, thankfully not family wise our “Polynesian Inheritance” is so strong, family always come first!

Where was I going wrong?

What was I doing wrong?

Whose fault was it?

Why now when we seemed so successful?

A myriad of questions passed through my mind, I began to blame myself, I was making wrong decisions.

I had begun a downward slide a personal one that took away my mental fortitude, my belief, my self-confidence, I lost motivation, the thing that really hurts me when I think back is that, “I didn’t really care anymore” I began to think that the world owed me, I was a good person so for that I should be rewarded. What a “Pity party”, darn pitiful is all I can say now!

After all these years I am finally getting back on track!

I realise that age and the new generation means I can never be what I was back then, why?

Well that’s the past and I now live for today!

Not tomorrow!

I have found a “Certain Way” that has been available to each and every one of us for more than ninety years.

Probably what W Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill and thousands of others used to become rich, but forgot to tell us some very vital points, whether they did it consciously or just took it for granted that we would figure it out, I am really not to sure.

Want to find out as I have???

The real meaning of what “RICH” is, go to my website “Right Now” and find out how you to can have a “RICH” balanced and fulfilled life with “Prosperous Equilibrium”.

WAHWatchdog

I found a site that puts my little blog to shame. I thought I was doing a good job of trying programs and reporting on my findings or research. By WAHWatchdog has humbled me.

The site is WAHWatchdog and here is the basic information about them:

If you have every been scammed by a "work at home" company, purchased a "money making system" that didn't live up to its claims, or if you are having a hard time getting a refund from a merchant, you need to read the reviews on this site. Even if you found a great product or system that deserves to be recognized. WAH Watchdog wants all the juicy details.

Unlike other sites that are usually biased, their rankings are based solely on users' votes, and user reviews are authenticated and displayed unedited. WAHWatchdog.org is THE "work at home" product and "money making system" review site. Vote on things you've tried, share your feedback and post reviews, get help resolving disputes with merchants, and find out the REAL scoop about products or programs you may be interested in.

I really enjoyed looking over the scores of some of the programs that I have personally reviewed. It is a nice site, if you are looking to buy a work at home program, check it out on this site (as well as mine).

Holiday Tips - From Work at Home Jobs

There is no place like home for the holidays. And when hosting overnight guests, you want them to feel "at home" too. Feeling stressed as you prepare? No worries. I'd like to share some quick hints on how to make holiday visits more enjoyable for you and your guests.

Extend Specific Invitations. A visit is more comfortable when everyone knows arrival and departure times. Therefore make your invitation cordial yet clear. This helps you to prepare and to avoid that awkward moment of having to ask guests when they will be leaving.

Sent an Agenda: Find out your guests' interests and plan activities accordingly. Be flexible and don't overdo it. And, share your own schedule to help manage expectations about entertaining.

Plan Sleeping Arrangements: Assign sleeping quarters ahead of time. Then family members know what to expect, especially if they are being temporarily displaced. It also gives you time to prepare rooms and get any extra items like air mattresses, blankets, etc.

Add Special Touches: Set the tone for your guests' stay with "niceties." Things like a reading light, alarm clock, clothes hangers, an extra blanket, and personal toiletries in the bathroom all go a long way to making others feel welcomed.

Orient Your Guests: Show your house guests where to find things like extra towels or pillows. Familiarize them with light switch locations and operations of appliances like the coffeemaker and microwave.

Finally, just be yourself. Your guests will have a much better time when you are relaxed and having a good time. Remember, you can't and won't anticipate everything. So go with the flow!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for welcoming me into your home this year through my blog. It is my distinct honor to be your trusted source for learning about ways to earn money at home, and I sincerely wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday!

Google Money Tree Program - Its Free or Not

I received an e-mail telling me to try the Google Money Tree program for free all I had to do was pay for shipping and handling.

So I decided to walk through the Google Money Tree order form to see how they have their sales process set up.

Page 1 was the usual stuff - personal contact info but no credit card.
Page 2 - this is where the fun begins:

Right where you enter your credit card number GoogleMoneyTree puts:

Google Money Tree Kit: Free
Shipping & Handling: $3.88

Right to the left of the form where you enter your credit card GoogleMoneyTree has this bold proclamation:

"No Hassle Money Back "Guarantee!If you are not 100% satisfied with the kit,simply call our dedicated customer service #(located in the USA!), and we will immediately refund your shipping payment… no questions, no hassle!"

This sounds good to me, it made it sound like the only reason why you would ever really need to contact GoogleMoneyTree's customer service about billing would be to get your shipping payment refunded.

OK I have not seen the statements that I expected, so lets do the order and see what happens.

Well seven days after receiving my kit, which was basically the same information that I have received over and over again, nothing new here, under a different name. But here is the kicker, are you ready for it.

My credit card was charged $72.21 which was suppose to be a reoccurring monthly fee for my membership to the Google Money Tree program. That's right, if you don't call and ask for shipping money to back, that is it, reoccurring monthly fee.

Needless to say, I cancelled my card and disputed the charge, my bank hates me, I do this to them all the time. Know what you are getting into. You do not get anything for free and the Google Money Tree program is no different.

The Adele Scam (I am hurt, really I am)

I have to say, that this one really bugs me, they stole my name!

OK this month when you get your monthly credit card or debit card statements look for a small charge from a company that you don't recognize, make sure you check your PayPal account also. The charge will be for something between 9 and 19 cents, usually 12 cents. If you see this charge, report your card stolen. I know that this may seem like a small amount of money, but its not. On next months statement you will see a charge from CCBILLEU.COM for $200 to $400 and the fraudulent charges will just keep coming.

Apparently, the people behind this scam have a list of credit card numbers and Paypal accounts. In an effort to figure out which ones are valid and which ones are not, they make a small charge hoping it will go unseen. Then they go in for the big purchases and may even try and steal your identity.

If you are an online shopper, beware and watch your statements closely.

Get Google Ads for Free!

I feel something that I am buried with ads from people telling me I can all my advertising for my blog for free. Companies like GetGoogleAdFree.com, tell you they have the secret and they will tell you all about it if you pay them $97.00.

OK here is the truth and this took me some time and money to figure what this offer is all about. Free Ads basically means, start a web page and start charging other people to advertise on that page. Take the money you make from the advertising and put it in your Adwords account, now technically you are not paying for your ads other people are.

But lets put a different spin on it. If you were making money from other people advertising on your web site, why would you need adwords? Why not just keep the advertising money and stop.

Don't spend the money on these program, they are not worth the investment.

Quick Review: Ways to Earn Money Online or at Home

Since Christmas is right around the corner and the unemployment rate is raising, I noticed a lot of new visitor to my site and I would like to review an old topic, but it is important if you are looking to earn money from home:

The Most Popular Home Jobs are:

1. Running a home-based business (these would be programs that you have to purchase and that I review)
2. Computer work
3. Data entry
4. Word processing
5. Telephone research/sales
6. Customer services
7. Proof reader
8. Market research

If you are going to work from home you need good a reliable mobile, landline, fax, email and instant messaging program. That way if any one of these services fail you can still communicate.

Technology has made working from home a much more realistic option for many people. If you’re self-employed or starting your own business, working from home is also a good way of reducing your overheads. It becomes more difficult if you are trying to break into the work from home job market as people tend to guard their positions fiercely once they have them. There are always plenty of advertisements, both on and off the Internet, for people to work from home but the majority of these are scams.

Generally, if the company you are applying to requests money (and you are applying as a employee and not business owner, beware! Top Three Homeworking Scams to Avoid

1. You send off your registration fee to receive details about earning a good income from homeworking. You receive a letter instructing you to put an advert in your local shop or paper, asking people to send you a registration fee! A similar online version of this are e-books which promise to reveal the secret of 'how to get rich quick' - the 'secret' then turns out to be instructions on how to resell copies of the e-book you've purchased!

2. You answer an advertisement for a position, such as a freelance proofreader. With the application is a piece of text for you to correct any mistakes. On submitting you will be then be sent an Information Pack, which you are charged for and then you find out the information is ready available on the Internet for free.

3. You apply for a position doing simple assembly work at home, such as: greeting cards, toys or crafts, and are asked to pay up-front for materials. The materials will be worth much less than you've paid,and often the assembly work you complete will be rejected and returned to you as 'sub-standard' and of course you will receive no payments.

There are, plenty of valid jobs you can do from home, you just need to be careful when first starting out. Working from home can bring huge benefits, allowing you to balance your family and work time, work more productively and reduce day to day stresses.

Got Laid Off? Work at Home?

My father got laid off from his job on Friday. He called and asked what he could do from home to replace his income. Unfortunately, I had to tell him I didn't have anything for him.

Earning extra money online is one thing, replacing the salary of a manager in the Auto industry is a totally different story. I know that I have not found the prize winning program that will allow me to quit my day job and start earning my income at home.

Work at home sounds like a wonderful thing. No more stress, no more having to leave your house. What a great life. But I went to the doctor on Thursday and he told me that I needed to reduce my stress. I said "take me out on disability, that is where all my stress exists". He laughed at me. He told me that we all blame work as our major stress, but not working will not reduce my stress, it might make it worse. So here I am at work as usual doing my best.

If you are reading this blog, you want to work at home. If you have had any success with working at home and make a good income with the program, please let me know what the program is, until then, my search continues and I will just support and love my dad while he looks for something new.

Earn Money Re-Shipping (Forwarding) Packages

I received an e-mail recently offering to pay me to receive packages at my home and then forward them to an address that will be provide to me via e-mail, along with any other instructions. These packages are usually forwarded to a P.O. Box.

After the check cashing diabolical earlier this year, I thought this offer need some research before I committed to it. If you are considering Earning Money At Home Forwarding Packages, please read this article in its entirety before you continue, it could mean your freedom.

Forwarding packages to earn money from home is a scam. You will not be working UPS, FedEx or DHL. This is not the type of scam where you tried a work at home opportunity and could not make money so now we are calling it a scam. This is not one of those misrepresenting rebate processing, typing, data entry or survey lists. As a matter of fact you can start this type of
work at home without any investiment except for your time. This is the type of scam were will not only lose money, because they never pay you, but you may also end up losing your freedom.

Re-shipping also known as "package forwarding" usually starts with an emailed ob offer. These "employers" will ask you to sign a phony contracts and other documentation making them appear legitimate and since it costs you nothing ito start it is easy to be taken in.

Some may even offer you references. Once they succeed in giving you a sense of security or make you feel like you have nothing to lose, the packages are shipped to your home at no cost to you. You are provided with instructions to reship the packages to another address, usually a PO Box. Once you have reshipped the package you respond to the e-mail instructions and they send
you a check.

Sounds perfect, the easiest work at home job on the market, right. Well here is what they do not tell you.

Basically this scam plays into identity theft. Someone steals someone credit card or personal information they begin ordering a bunch of items on the Internet or from catalogs and has it shipped to your house. Having it shipped to their house will only get them caught. I didn't say they were dumb criminals. Then without you knowing it you start forward the now stolen
merchandise to the PO Box, which is untraceable. So when the authorities start investigating the theft of the credit card or the identiy the only address and/or name they have is yours. Now you have spent your time forwarding the packages, you have not been paid and you an accessory to a crime.

Can you Make Money Online with Lawn Chair Millionaire

The question that many have about the new lawn chair millionaire program is, "Does it really work?"

The answer to this question is yes and no. I filled out the form on the website and verifying through a code via email. Then I was immediately hit was an offer to join this program or I would lose my position in the moneyline pools.

The truth, as I learned is that the moneyline pool only pays on the members that join that day, not on people that are already members. The next surprise for me was that the commissions are paid out over 3 months.

So here is the summary:

I joined and received $75 in moneyline commissions, but this is split over a 3 months ($25 a month for three months).

The problem is that I spent $29.99 for my monthly dues and $49.99 as a one-time setup fee. So I am $80 and only made $75 which it will take me 3 months to get all of. To make it worse, I need to stay in the program for three months in order to get the $75 at $29.99 a month after the initial $80 investment. So I am actually spending $140 to make $75. Did I explain that right?

The next surprise was that in order to receive my commission I needed the company's debit card. If I don't sponsored anyone then the debit card will cost $39.99. So now I have spent $140 to earn $75 and I have to pay an additional $39.99 to get the money out, making my earnings only $30. Are you following this?

Here is where people are making their money. If you sponsor people, you will receive $15 per active member that you personally refer per month. If you are willing to work and recruit, this program can make you money. If you don't think that you can refer people, it is not worth the money. I am not giving an link to the site because I don't think it will provide a good source of income for people.

CNN Reports on Making Extra Money

CNN did a special report on Friday on ways that households can make extra money. The full story is here http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/11/07/tf.make.extra.money/index.html. Here is a quick summary of their suggestions for making Extra Money:

1. Become a focus group participant - I have listed a number of survey sites that will pay you for your opinion and are free to join. If you are interested, look at some of my previous posts.
2. Use your blog - If you have a blog and you need extra money, it is free to add ads to your site and add a new level of revenue.
3. Sell the stuff you no longer want - this references auction sites and craigslist. You would not believe sometimes how much people are will to spending for stuff you no longer want.
4. Make money with you hobbies - there are sites like Etsey that allow you to create an online store of the crafts that you do from home. You are already enjoying it, why not make a profit too.
5. Host a bake sale - this one seems a little flaky to me, but I guess it is possible.
6. Shop and sell - If you have out Outlet store or warehouse store near you, buy something at a discounted price and then try reselling it. Even if you only make 2 or 3 dollars, it will all add up over time.

and number 7 this one is my favorite!

7. Pet sit - you would be amazed at how much people are will to spend to keep their pets happy and feeling loved when they can't be around.

This is a quick summary and my view of the article, if you wish to read the full article, see the link above and good luck.

Auto-Bux/Topinstant Scams

Auto-Bux was shut down for not paying their members and now a new site is up that has the same web design and is owned by the same people and promising to do the same thing. The new site is Topinstant.com. It is a scam, do not invest money into it, you will lose your money. It is a HYIP (High Yield Investment Program) which are often considered to be an pyramid scheme.

Your account will show your earnings so you will think that you are doing well, but when you request payout, that is it. The money never comes.

Avoid this program.

LutLot replacement for Ebay to Make Money Online

The owners of ClixSense (ClixSense is a paid to surf site, you can ready more about them here, http://www.wahjs123.com/2007/10/clixsense.html) have opened a new wholesale auction site. I don't know if Lutlot will replace e-bay as a leading online auction house to allow people to make money selling their items, but I can tell you that there a number of reasons why LutLot is better.

The first reason is that there is a $1.00 listing fee, that is all that you will ever pay, doesn't matter how much your item sells for. The second reason and I think this is pretty neat, LutLot has a store front also so you can sell your items online or at a store. The store is located in Clarksville, TN. Here is some information about them.

Q: What do you liquidate?
A: We purchase overstock, shelf pulls, returns, and salvage items from the major retailers in large quantities. In turn, we then repackage the items into smaller lots, or even individual items, so they can be resold to the general public at discount prices. Sales of the merchandise usually begins bidding at only $1.00 with No reserve price set, or a "buy now" format.

Q: Can anyone sell merchandise on LutLot.com?
A: Yes. As long as you are selling tangible merchandise at a reasonable price. It's a sad day when you visit on online auction only to find better prices at your local department store - online auctions should be a place where deals are found. No downloads, e-books, memberships or other digitized type products can be sold on the website.

Q: What are the fees to list products for sale?
A: The listing fee is only $1.00 per listing with no final value fees, or any other hidden fees.

Q: What makes LutLot Auctions different from other auction sites?
A: ClixSense staff prides itself on outstanding customer service and superior performance. That, combined with low fixed price listing fees, below wholesale products, and auction listings that are displayed in expiring order (with no upgrade options) sets us apart from the others.

Q: How do I get to the website?
A: Visit the website here: http://www.lutlot.com

Use Squidoo to Advertise Your Blog

You can use Squidoo to advertise your blog, get traffic and maybe even earn a little bit of extra money. Here is what I found:

On Squidoo you create a Lens which is based on a blog article. You can link your blog directly to the Lens so when you make a new post on your blog, the lens is automatically updated.

SO, WHAT'S A LENS?

A lens is one person's view on a topic that matters to her. It's an easy-to-build, single web page that can point to blogs, favorite links, RSS feeds, Flickr photos, Google maps, your eBay auctions, CafePress designs, Amazon books or music, and oh so much more. That way, when someone is looking for recommended information, fast, your lens gets him started and sends him off in the right direction.

Build one lens, build a hundred. It's fast, fun, and free. (And you could earn a royalty from each one--for you or for charity).

WHO SHOULD BUILD A LENS?

You should, if you...

1. ...have a Web site and want more ways for people to discover it. A lens is another signpost online that can point people your way.

2. ...have a blog, a lens is a great way to highlight your best posts, to feature a commented version of your blogroll, and to point to the products and services that you write about, read about, enjoy, or want to see succeed. A lens will allow you and your blog to have a bigger share of the commentary and influence on your topic of choice.

3. ...are a yo-yo expert, your lens could be nothing but links to tricks. You'd rank your favorite 100 tricks and point, one by one, to the best examples of those tricks on the Web. And maybe you'd point to Infinite Illusions, the online yo-yo store.

4. ...are a nonprofit or charity (say, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) you could invite all 45,000 of your most important donors to build sites on their favorite topics. The invitation would set the default royalty cash flow to "Donate my royalties to JDRF." If each lens generated as little as $2 a day, that'd be a whole bunch of money earned for the charity. You'd also earn a bounty on every successful lensmaster you brought in.

5. ...are a newshound, a lens allows you to highlight important mainstream and non-mainstream stories for your readers. And if you go on vacation, RSS feeds can automatically update your lens with select news stories.

6. ...are a podcaster, you should definitely have a lens. It would list the details of your podcasts, point to transcripts that some fan had posted, point to your six most recent podcasts, and include the RSS for subscribing to the podcast. The lens would also have a set of links for getting started with podcasting and getting a podcast reader

7. ...are a fan, a lens lets you share your personal take on the object of your affections—without the grind of manual updates. Automatic feeds could add current sports scores and headlines, music news and iTune releases and more.

8. ...are an author, your lens could include links to all your books on Amazon. You could include links to other authors you admire. And an RSS feed from a Technorati search, showing surfers the recent blogs that have mentioned you. And links to conferences where you're speaking, and perhaps a top-ten list of the best ways to understand your writing. You could even have a box pointing to your best (and worst?) reviews.

9. ...are an entrepreneur, your lens on a popular topic could generate two or five or twenty dollars a day in clickthrough and affiliate income. Which doesn't sound like much, until you start thinking like an eBay PowerSeller and build twenty or even fifty lenses on a variety of topics. Did you know that 750,000 people make a full- or part-time living on eBay now? The same effect will probably happen with lenses

10. ... are a person (and you are), you should have a lens about...you. A lens that lists your blog and recent posts and your bio and work history and your Amazon wish list and your Flickr account and whatever you want the public to know about you. Would you hire someone if she didn't have a lens?

How can I make more money?

Every lens carries Google AdSense ads. Those are used to generate royalties for the whole co-op (ie, everyone gets a cut). If you want to increase your direct royalties, though, you should consider adding commercial modules that the visitors to your lenses will appreciate. Our top moneymaker modules include: Amazon, eBay, and CafePress. Every single one of these modules generates directly attributable revenue for your lens, and we pay a royalty to you or to your chosen charity based on that income.
Build good lenses, feature great stuff, share your lenses as much as possible, and earn more royalties.

3 Great Jobs for Stay at Home Moms

I found this great article this morning when doing research online that I wanted to share with everyone. The name of the article is 3 Great Jobs for Stay at Home Moms by Matthew Lord. I hope everyone finds it interesting.


Childcare costs are astronomical these days which leaves the dilemma of whether a mom should join the 9-5 work force and pay for daycare, or whether you should stay at home with your kids. Well hopefully this article will teach you how to have the best of both worlds so you can stay at home and make money with these jobs for stay at home moms.

While looking around the Internet I'm sure you will come across many opportunities that sound pretty good, but they are either too expensive or just sound too good to be true and raise awareness on your part. Whatever the case may be I believe I have a couple of suggestions that would be ideal jobs for stay at home moms. These jobs for stay at home moms do require some work however, do not think you will be able to sit at a computer and magically have thousands rolling into your bank account, it's just not going to happen!

Without further ado here are three legitimate jobs for stay at home moms, and the business models for them.

1. Write an ebook about something you are interested in. This could be anything you could think of from cooking, gardening, sports, fashion, and countless other niches that you could pursue. After writing the ebook endorse it with private label rights and sell it on ebay for about nine dollars. This is a surefire way to make some sales and eventually build a lucrative business.

2. Become an affiliate marketer. This is something that anyone can do if you are willing to take the time and put the energy into it. Ideally you need to own your own website, but you do not have to. These are excellent jobs for stay at home moms and can provide a nice income if done correctly.

3. Become a freelance writer. Now I must admit that I have never personally tried this one so I cannot guarantee results, however I have heard that it works quite well if you are a good writer. People will often want press releases or articles for there websites, yet do not have time to do it themselves, so they hire someone to do it for them.

I believe these are three creative ways to make money online and provide excellent jobs for stay at home moms. Good luck and I wish you the best!

Telephone makes you money - EMails

For the last couple of weeks I have been receiving a lot of e-mails regarding using the telephone to make money at home. I looked back at all my previous e-mails and I found the number is always the same even though the subject line changes. The phone number is 8OO.249.9442 (DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER).

The subject lines of the e-mails so far have been:

Teleph0ne makes y0u m0ney
Make it extra Dough or Fulltime
Why C0mmute?
The time is n0w
Get the details
A business 0f y0ur 0wn

The subject line changes but the phone number does not. After doing some research I found that the phone number is listed on the Federal Spam list, which means that either the phone call is not free or that they are going to ask you for credit card or bank account information and try and steal your money.

I did not call the number and you shouldn't either. Just delete any e-mail that reads like this:

Don't get all caught up in this doom and gloom mentality. Take charge and join us today.If you have a phone and can spend a couple hrs each day returning some calls you could seeup to ThirtyFiveHundred dollars in your pocket each week.I do this everyday and have alot of fun but there is more work then I can handle.So why not call me at 1~800~249~9442 and hear some further details.

or

I realize that in these seemingly tough times money may be an issue for most. So today I wanted to share with you a proven and effective way to bring in up to an extra 1k to 3k weekly. What could you do with that extra? Exactly...less worrying and stress. Best of all all you need is a telephone and simply return some calls each day to people waiting to hear from you. Share some information with them and thats all. No selling, not multilevel or a fly by night scheme. Myself and others are doing this at this very moment and I tell you the extra cash sure makes a big difference.

So what I want you to do is dialup my information line, listen to some more details and diecide for yourself if this is for you. This is not a job but a real proven and well paying business that you get to da from home.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The number is 800/249/9442

Rebate Processing at Home

The very first article I wrote for this site was about earning money at home processing rebates. Since then I have received a lot of questions and comments on the article, so I wanted to broach the subject again.

Rebate processing sounded like a great deal to me. Stay home, process rebates and earn money, from $15.00 to $25.00 a piece. After searching the Internet and not really finding anything negative about rebate processing I decided to give it a try.

That is when I found out what rebate processing really means.

Rebate processing is Affiliate work. Companies like virtual-training-solutions.com, RebateProcessorJobs.com and rebateproccessingjob.com, are not hiring you to work for them and then paying you by the piece. Which is what I though when I first read their websites (by the way all three companies owned by the same person).

Let me save you the $39 - $89 it takes to join these programs.

Sign up for a Clickbank account, find a product that you want to sell.
Place an ad to sell the product and in that ad, state that you will give them a rebate of $8.00 just for purchasing the product.
Now you will receive $23.00 for selling the product, you return $8.00 to the original purchaser and you keep $15.
You just received $15.00 for processing a rebate!

There do you feel that information is worth $39? I don’t, I felt and still feel that I was mislead and scammed. Can the system work, yeah it is a good idea, I understand where they were trying to go with it and if they had described it just as I described it to you and not lied to me, I would have felt better about the whole thing.

Their members web site is pretty good, it will give you a list of site to post free ads to sell your item and sample ads, the information is there, but they lied to get me there and that was frustrating and upsetting and honestly other than writing this blog I have done nothing with my account.

WildTree Business

I went to a food tasting this weekend at a neighbors house for Wildtree. Wildtree was founded on the premise that food should be natural, nutritious, delicious and easy to prepare - all at the same time. Their products are made with the finest ingredients available and contain no preservatives, additives, MSGs or dyes.

So why am I doing an article on WildTree on a Work from Home site. The answer is simple, like Avon, Mary Kay or Party Lite, they hire and train representative to start a Wildtree business in their area.

Now I am not one of those people that can go to someone else's house and sell stuff like Tupperware or candles or makeup, to earn some extra money, but I was truly impressed with the presentation and product at this party. So I asked my host all about the program and how it work and here is what I found out.

SUPPORT

Wildtree is committed to providing the business support you need. While the "Wildtree Business Guide" is a great reference for learning the business basics, you will also find the following resources helpful.

Field Sales Services Department
Company Website
Training DVD
“Grapevine” Company Newsletter
National and Local Meetings
Your Sponsor and Team Leader


BENEFITS:

Earn great commissions from your personal sales and your team sales.
Receive up to 40% discounts on all products.
No Inventory purchases and storage to worry about.
Receive sales points to earn FREE business supplies.

To start a Wildtree business all you need to do is visit their website and apply to become a representative. There is a welcome package that include everything you need to get started and it costs $115.00.

I can tell you that at the party I was there were 6 couples and host made well over $600 in commission for 1 hour of work. I was amazed. If you are an outgoing person and your kids are in school, you may have an 1 or 2 to invest in this business that can help bring extra money into your household.

Get Paid to Blog or Chat

I found a site about 6 months ago called Yuwie. Basically, you sign up for an account for free and create a profile on the site with your interests. Then you can start a blog and Yuwie shares their Ad Revenue with you. You get paid every time someone visits your profile or your blog and when you chat with other Yuwie members.

In addition they have clubs (chat rooms) where you can get opinions from other members on any of your blogs (including ones not on Yuwie). If you blog is not hosted on Yuwie, the you receive a good backlink.

I like the site a lot. I earn a couple of dollars a months, but honestly I am not very active on the site.

Underground Cash Secret - Michael Vincent

I received a request to research and tell everyone about the Michael Vincent program. As usual I did some research before investing in the program and I have to say I am not willing to purchase it and try it for a review.

According to the reviews that I read, the initial website states that the program costs $49, however when you go to purchase the program you actually spend $110 to get your new money making web site up and running and have it submitted to the search engines.

In addition, apparently a couple days after you join, you will start receiving telephone calls from people asking you for thousands of dollars to be trained and coached so you can start making money.

I went to the web site and review and when I tried to exit an IM chat came up, asking me if I have any further questions, it was obvious that it was a computer on the other end not a person, in addition there is no real contact information on the site.

I would avoid the site, this is not the way to make money online.

Important Message from Mylot

If you use mylot to earn money online, please read this important message from the mylot admin:

It has come to our attention that a fellow myLot user is trying to abuse the myLot private messaging system in order to gain access to others personal information. We are taking action to stop this as quickly as we can, but in the meantime always ensure you are signing into the real myLot by looking at your browsers address bar. If it is the genuine myLot you will see www.myLot.com/ possibly followed by some referring characters. If you are in doubt as to the validity of the link just type www.mylot.com into your browser and you can be confident that you will be logged into the real myLot. The current link in question is mylot.freehostia.com. This is not a valid myLot link and should not be trusted.

If you are not a member of mylot, let me explain the service to you:

MyLot wants their users to help the website explode, and to reward you they will pay you every time you use myLot! Users are the most valuable asset to the longevity of any website so why only provide them with a service, why not reward them financially?

Their goal is to provide Internet users a place to earn money using the web on a day to day basis. It's easy, sign up and start discussions, post responses or comments to current discussions, news or blogs, or refer friends!

Honestly, I like MyLot, I get to help people and take part in conversations and then they pay me it is a win win for everyone. Again you are not going to get rich, but it is a little something extra.

StatCounter - Making Money From Your Web Site or Blog

There have been a number of posts regarding how to get traffic to your web site on this blog. However, I have never covered how to monitor that traffic and make sure that your methods are really working.


Adsense (a great way to make money from your site) is OK at keeping track of your traffic but it does not get into a great amount of detail. Where is the traffic coming from, how long was it on your site, how did it leave your site.


I order to keep track of these things, I use StatCounter. It is a free service (with a paid upgrade option) that will traffic to your site and give you all the details your need to properly promote your site and start earning money.


Basically you follow these steps to get started:


  1. Register an account
  2. Create a Project
  3. Insert the code on your website
  4. Analyze your stats!
In addition you can have web site reports emailed to you so you always know what is going on with traffic to your site.

The Millionaire Maker

I am sure that everyone has heard the commercials on the radio for Loral Langemeier, the author of “The Millionaire Maker”.

After completing research on her and her book I learned that she has a decent following among her peers and other people believe that the information provided in her books is simplistic and the tips given are just not realistic and could even cause harm than good.

I believe that her books lack the step-by-step instructions that the average person needs when trying something new. One of the big points of the book is starting a business and working for yourself, however, there are no details on how to obtain this goal. I need guidance not ideas.

In addition, I feel that her ideas are unrealistic for the average person. In her team building section of the book she advised everyone to get a support team of Lawyers, CPAs, Brokers and Investors. As an average person, this information doe not helpful because I can not afford to pay these professionals to tutor and guide me.

The only truly useful part of the book was its motivation aspects. By the time you are done reading the book, you will want to pursue a business opportunity or research an investment.
Taken as a whole, her book can help to motivate you and put you in the right mind set but I feel that it will not help you accomplish the goals.

Defining Data Entry Jobs and Data Entry Programs

I found this article: Defining Data Entry Jobs and Data Entry Programs By: S McIntyre, I thought you would enjoy it.

Every day at least one person will ask if a particular data entry job is legit.
Every day at least one person will ask to find a data entry position.

Data entry jobs are the most desired, most favourable and most sought after position online. You will hear often data entry jobs are rare, few and far between and it's true. If that's the case, why do you see them scattered online so much?

Here's the difference between data entry jobs and data entry programs.

Data Entry Jobs

Data entry keyers inputs lists of data (alpha and numeric) into a spreadsheet or computerized database. Most reputable companies hire based on keyboarding skills, keystrokes per hour (KPH), accuracy and speed. These positions also require a cover letter and resume from the applicant and the applicant may be asked to take a typing test. They never ask you to pay for registration or training material fees.

Data Entry Programs

These are the ones people always ask about...especially for its legitimacy. Anything that promises or guarantees high returns for very little work is mostly a scam. I say mostly because the word scam is thrown around in a much too general way...just like the words data entry is.

These are not real data entry work or positions per se. These are business opportunities or programs which require upfront fees. The websites are colourful, bold and they almost always have screenshots of how much money can be made each day.

So, where's the data entry?

These programs consist of using Clickbank, a retailer of digital products. You would sign up for a free account with Clickbank, choose a digital product and then use Google Adwords (pay-per-click) to promote. Filling out the information on Adwords is where these companies label it data entry. Misleading? Yes to a point because primarily you're selling a product; you're an affiliate and you're not paid for the information you input, but you're paid a commission based on how many sales you make.

Is it legitimate? I would not pay for something I know I could do free. They may throw in some e-books to help you become a better affiliate, but the Internet is a huge source of information and all of it can be found for free.

Now you know the difference between data entry jobs and programs pretending to be data entry, there are real companies who pay you as an Independent Contractor or employee. Although these highly wanted positions aren't so readily available or highly publicized, don't give up on your search. Don't stop looking because your desired job may be just around the corner.

Are All Work at Home Reviews Real

I have been seeing a new trend on the Internet. Affiliate Marketers are creating web sites that "review" Work at Home programs so you will buy the program from their site. (No this is not one of those sites).

So how can you tell the difference between someone who is trying to help you and someone who is trying to sell you something?

The easiest way for me is by evaluating whether they really tell you anything new about the program that you can not figure out by reading the sales page. Many people tell you all about a program by regurgitating what it says on the sales page, but not giving you any further information.

In addition, if you find multiple sites that pretty much say the same thing, then they are trying to sell you the product, not help you find work at home.

A good example of both of these is "The Top Secret Magic Code". Google it and read the reviews, then read my review, http://bytemi.blogspot.com/2008/08/top-secret-magic-code.html.

Do you see the difference? I bought the program, I tried to use the program and I told you what happened.

I felt that everyone should be aware of these two things, so when you are doing your research you know what to key in on and what you can ignore.

I have been a member of ClixSense now for over a year, I have received a payout each month of at least $10.

I have been receiving a number of e-mails asking whether it is worth the upgrade when joining ClixSense (there is a $10 premium member fee or you can just join as a free member). I have to say, honestly, it was well worth the money.

After paying the $10, I instantly received 598 web site to review ranging from 10 cents a site to 1 cent a site. Since upgrading I have easily cleared $30 a month. The key is to check back often. I check my ClixSense account about once every two hours and I always have new web sites to visit. For the first month after the upgrade, I honestly could not keep up with all the web sites that were being assigned to me.

If you are interested in Paid to Click sites, this is a great site and you will definitely earn money. Click here for more information.

Automated Cash Formula

OK, let me give you a little background before the blow the Automated Cash Formula out of the water. The program costs $37 to join and you will receive a PDF e-book explaining step by step how to work the program and make a small fortune without having to really do any work.

I had a real problem with the sales pitch page:

Totally Eliminate The Hard Work To Making Money Online;Make You Hundreds Of Dollars A Day, Everyday, On Auto-Pilot…Using The Internet Without A Website, Selling Any Products Or Doing Any Marketing Whatsoever - Even If You’re Currently Flat Out Broke With No Time Or Energy To Spare.

OK, I know that I have said this before but I feel that I must say it again, you have to work if you want to earn money on the Internet. You don't get anything for free. If you are ready to work and ignore his claims, keep reading.

As an experienced Affiliate Marketer, the proof of earnings shown on his web site are BS. They are Clickbank screen shots and Clickbank does not offer sub-affiliates, which is what this whole program is about.

Basically, you research a niche and then recruit other people to promote products and make money and then you take a portion of their profits as your sub-affiliate. That is the easiest way to explain to the whole program.

In addition he claims that this is a new concept and it is not. Google the term sub-affiliate and you will learn all about it.

Do I think that this program can work you can make money online using, YES, but I am not willing to put the time and effort into it to prove that. You are going to have to work and find a good niche.

The positive points about the program is that the e-book is very well written, from finding a niche market to finding good sub-affiliates, it explain it all. I don't think that this program is scam, I think that it is not being advertised properly and that the average person that purchases it will not invest the time or resources to make it work, like me. :D

If you are interested in learning more about the program and you are ready to invest real time to make it work, click here.

smartdataentry.com

Smartdataentry.com what an original idea, you can earn $250 to $1,400 a day just filling out simple Internet forms. I can not image a better work at home job. It looks perfect, quick join and send them $49.50 and learn about their secret. (please note the sarcasm)

So what do you get for $49.50?

You get access to their members only area where they list companies that will hire you to do data entry for them. Unfortunately, these companies also require a registration free.

I have already lost my $49.50, so I am not willing to invest anything else. If you are considering smartdataentry.com, please note it is going to cost you more money to start working and if you do decide to move forward, I would love to get a review from you.

Team Double Click - Freelance Data Entry

Team Double Click is a company that connects work at home individuals to the companies that need their support. The best part of Team Double Click for me was the fact that you don’t have to bid on a project to get an assignment and there is no job board for you to look at thousand of jobs and find the right one for you. When an opportunity is located, whether it is a short-term or a long-term project, they review everyone's resume and other information that you provided to see if you are a fit. If it appears that you are a good fit they will contact you personally to discuss the opportunity.

All work that you would perform for Team Double-Click® is on a contract basis. They offer no minimum amount of work to any team contractors.

AdSense vs. BidVertiser

If you are like me, one of the ways that you earn money online is by running a blog or a web site and having AdSense on the site. I found a nice site call BidVertiser, that will post ads on your site and pay you for displaying them and when I get clicks.

The biggest difference between AdSense and BidVertiser is that AdSense has a $100 minimum payout via check or direct deposit. Bidvertiser has a $10.00 minimum payout via paypal. I prefer to get paid via paypal, I don't have to go to the bank, I don't have give a company my private information like bank account numbers and stuff like that.

If you are looking to make money using a blog or web site, try BidVertiser, if it free to join and you can control the ads they show on your pages. Click below for more information

Top Secret Magic Code

The magic code is becoming one of the fasting growing ways for a website or blog owner to make money online. Just pay the $45.00 to get the 33 page e-book and they will tell you what the magic code is and then your web site will be making you money while you sleep.

As I have always said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I found a number of reviews on the Internet before I purchased the product and all of them said how wonderful it was and well worth the money. The only problem that I found was nobody told me what it was. If you are going to do a review and tell me to buy it, tell me what it is first.

That is what I am here for I guess, here is the true story about the Top Secret Magic Code:

The first thing you need to know is that the magic code is not given to you in the ebook. It does however tell you how to obtain it. Basically the book explains how you can get advertisers to post ads on your web site and then pay you for it.

This is different than AdSense by Google because you actually have to get your readers to click on a link in order to make money. When you start getting advertisers, they pay you just to display their banner on your page. Some require a click thru rate and some do not.

Do I think that you can increase your web site revenue using this book? YES. Do I think that when I purchased it I was mislead? YES.

I am using the program and my revenue has increased. The e-book also explains how to get more traffic to your site and gives other useful hints. But it is not as easy as opening the book, getting some HTML code and BAM you start making money. You will have to work at it and tweak it a little if you want to see a return on your investment.

MLM Prospecting: Creating a Win-Win Outcome by: Liz Monte

About The Author

Liz Monte is particularly intrigued by new trends in network marketing that could potentially transform the industry's negative image and lead to the widespread acceptance of a kindler and gentler approach to direct marketing. She invites you to visit her website at http://www.wisenetworkmarketer.com

In any business endeavor, a win-win outcome is always the most satisfying and productive. It certainly beats the alternatives - win-lose, lose-win, or (heaven forbid!) lose-lose - in which one or both parties walks away feeling an assortment of negative emotions, possibly including disappointment, anger, resentment, and a desire to throw crockery against the wall.

What do we mean by win-win when it comes to finding new partners for our network marketing business?

For the prospector (you), a win probably means acquiring a new business partner with the following attributes: easy to work with, motivated, determined to succeed, reliable and accountable, upbeat, honest, hardworking, and so on. Of course, you would probably also want your recruit to have some free time and enough money to get started.

For the prospect... well, we really don't know what a win would be for her, do we? We could make an assumption and guess. We could assume that she just wants to make a lot of money. But what if we guess wrong? What if her heart's desire is to help people and make a difference in the world.

The only way we can know for sure what's going through our prospect's head is to talk with her -- ask questions, listen closely to the answers, ask more questions, and do a lot more listening.

One word of caution, though: When interviewing a prospect, it's very tempting to listen just until she mentions some problem your product or opportunity might help solve. And then... (sound of bugles) YOU'RE OFF AND RUNNING! Bending her ear about how wonderful your company is and how much she's going to LOVE what the products will do for her.

But telling why YOU think your opportunity is the greatest thing since sliced bread is not the goal. The goal is to reach a win-win outcome, and there's more to it than just presenting your favorite features and benefits and assuming that's what your prospect wants, too.

If you're truly dedicated to win-win, your goal is to reach a deep understanding of what a win would be for her and then honestly assessing whether or not your opportunity would create that.

If it's not a good fit, let it go. Thank her for her time and move on.

On the other hand, if you believe your opportunity is a match for her, go ahead and explain to her why you think so. Be sure to connect the dots between her specific problems and how your opportunity can address them.

Then she signs up, right?

Not quite. Actually, there's yet another critical step you both must take before reaching a win-win outcome.

Recently, I started reading a book that really gets into the whole win-win strategy, "The New Conceptual Selling" by Stephen E. Heiman and Diane Sanchez. (Although it was written mainly for business-to-business salespeople, most of the principles the book lays out are applicable to network marketers, too.)

It describes three stages of decision-making in the sales process.

Stage 1: The decision-maker (your prospect) comes to a better understanding of the situation she's facing. (This is where your question-answer dialogue helps her.)

Stage 2: The decision-maker explores her possible options and solutions. (This is that other critical step I mentioned, and it's where many network marketers falter.)

Stage 3: The decision-maker puts it all together and picks the best option for herself.

Why do I say that many MLMers falter in the second stage? The answer is that we naturally want OUR option to be the only one the prospect considers. But the person sitting before us must be free to consider ALL her choices, or her final decision will never be satisfying to her. (By the way, this is a common problem with many salespeople, not just network marketers.)

Plus, people know when they're being pushed or manipulated. Throughout this whole conversation, you've been creating rapport and building trust. If you suddenly start pitching your solution as the only one, your prospect will close up again before your very eyes. She might start talking about how she needs to think a few things over - and maybe she'll get back to you in a couple of weeks. Maybe. In other words, you just lost her.

Or if you do succeed in manipulating her into agreeing to your solution without giving her a chance to think about her other choices, she's likely to feel buyer's remorse down the road and secretly resent you for it forever. That's certainly no way to begin a healthy business relationship, is it?

If you want to play a positive role in your prospect's decision-making process and achieve your win-win goal, you must make it totally clear to her, both in your words and in your actions, that you support her right to explore all her different options.

The good news is, if you truly understand her situation and genuinely believe that your opportunity is her best solution, and if you have effectively communicated why you think that way, chances are pretty good that your prospect will end up agreeing with you. And then you will get to enjoy the most treasured of all outcomes.

Your new business relationship will be launched in an atmosphere of mutual respect and commitment, with the positive expectation that it will continue indefinitely. You and your prospect will each get what you want, and you'll both feel terrific about your decisions.

Cyber Fetch Web Submitter - Follow Up

A couple weeks ago I wrote an Article on Cyber Fetch and I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know how I am progressing with the software. As I said in my first review the first thing that the company does is send you a list of when to submit your ads to what site so you are not classified as a spammer. I decided to run a two experiments this week and see how my online earnings would grow or decrease:

Experiment I - Can I submit my affiliate web sites and get traffic and make sales without Pay Per Click?

The answer to the question is yes, I have seen an increase in my affiliate traffic. I was really surprised by that answer. Don't get me wrong, I have not made thousands of dollars with affiliate marketing and honestly I don't see how people do (if you make thousands of dollars with affiliate marketing as your method of earning money online, drop me a line, bytemi @ gmail.com, I would love to talk to you and feature you on this blog).

Experiment II - Does following his schedule of submitting sites really make difference?

Since I received the program my earnings from this site have sky rocketed, more traffic more money, it is great! I follow his schedule for the first 3 weeks of owning the software (this is after I purchased it not the free trial that he offers) and instead of averaging $1 to $2 a day, I started averaging $8 to $11 a day, which is good (see my side note below). This week I blow his schedule off, did not submit to the FAA sites or the Network sites and I wanted to see what would happen to my profits. I saw a slow decrease in my traffic and my earnings started to decrease as the week went on. Yesterday, at 9:00 pm, I was stuck at $1.70 which is where I sat since noon, yes I check my stats all day and review comments. So last night I figured that I had my answer and I submitted to the FAA sites and the Network sites out of hope of saving the day. Within 2 hours of making the submission I was up to $3.24 and this morning when I checked to see how I finished for the day I was up to $6.40 and I have already earned $2.67 today and it is only 7:30 in the morning. So I have to say that Yes Cyber Fetch works and getting your site traffic and helping you earn money on the Internet as long as you follow the plan that he e-mails to you.

Side Note: If I have learned anything over the last year of working on this blog it is that if you can average $10 a day you are doing a great job in marketing your site and it is time to start another blog. People that blog for a living do not just have one great money site, they have a lot of good sites that all add up to something great.

Create Multiple Streams of Online Income by Tim Knox

When I first started looking to work at home, I kept coming across the same term over and over again "create multiple streams of income" but I never truly understood it.

I now understand that creating multiple streams of income means to have a lot of different ways of earning money online. I participate in paid to read, paid to surf, I dabble in affiliate marketing, AdSense and I have a referral program to multiple different sites. All of these things together create a multiple stream of income.

However, if you are like me, when I first started out, you are thinking great idea but how do I make it happen? This book by Tim Knox was brought to my attention by a friend of mine and I think it explains the multiple streams of income very well (you can find the book by click here).

The suggested retail price of he book is $9.99 however since I found it for free on the Internet I am sharing it for free. The author includes his e-mail address and his web sites if you have any questions.

The Profit Lance Wealth Course

Yes, I said course, not a program but a course. I think that this is great, it teaches you everything you ever wanted to know and more about affiliate marketing, adsense and promoting a web site. What I found especially different about this program is that most sites tell you to use Google or Overture and pay for clicks and hope that you convert into sales.

This site actually tells you this doesn't work for the average person and gives you other options for advertising and getting your links out there (most are free). The best part for me was the entire course was on video, no eye straining e-books, just sit back and watch the video and learn at your own speed. The course includes:

Basics of affiliate marketing
Explanation of how to decipher the clickbank marketplace
Important criteria for choosing a product to promote
Pay per click strategies
Video tutorials on Google Adwords and Yahoo Search
Advanced pay per click techniques
Introduction to Google Adsense
How to create an account
Implementing Adsense on your site
Adsense strategies and tips
Importance of tracking
Creating your own info products
How to find niche topics
How to spy on markets
Creating your product quickly and inexpensively
Methods for getting traffic to your sites
Comprehensive course on writing sales copy
Complete course on SEO tactics
A growing E-Book download resource library
A growing article database
Video tutorials on aspects of online marketing
15 Ready made and hosted websites on different subjects
Special affiliate product review site
Integrated online task management software

Yes, I bought this course for $77, using the techniques discussed I learned how to increase the web traffic to my sites, how to write articles, press releases and use submission tools. I am still working on the affiliate side of the Course, but as many of you know affiliate marketing is really not my thing.

The only negative thing I can say about the course is the first thing you see on their web site is this statement:

"What if I could show you the quickest way to make from $200 to $1500 per day doing nothing but working at home with your computer - and get you started in less than fifteen minutes from now? "

You can NOT starting making money in 15 minutes, it is going to require time and effort for you to succeed with this problem.

I found this course after receiving a request for a review. I hope that I answered all of the questions that were outstanding.

Internet Million Dollars

This is a program that I was requested to review as a way to work at home and/or earn extra money. It cost $49.90 and I did not buy this product, I found a review hosted by netsalaries and it turned me off the product, here is a small portion of the review:



"A very misleading product that has very fancy marketing, but very little to offer in terms of real education and instruction. The vast majority of the techniques mentioned have little to do with Internet Marketing and would be a total waste of time for people who are not already skilled in those areas, such as stock investments.
Let's take a look at the contents page:..."

Cyber Fetch Web Submitter

This site has been running for about 1 year now and I hope that I have helped my readers and even one time visitors to create an income at home or earn extra money. My last couple posts have been about how to get traffic to your affiliate sites, blog or web site so I am going to continue that theme today.

I found a new product called Cyber Fetch, which is a directory submitter. I was skeptical at first about using it but I download the free trial which allows you to submit to 30 sites and the traffic on my site doubled. So I decided to purchase the full version which included submission to over 2,000 US sites, plus the purchase included databases for Canada, Australia and Europe. Total cost was $57. Within 3 days of installing and using the program I made back that $57 and then some.

The best part about the software is the communication from the owner of the software, he sent me an e-mail and explained how to avoid being classified as a spammer and gave me guidelines on when and how often I should submit my site. It is great. I created calendar reminders to tell me where I am submitting and when and now I am just watching my traffic grow. In addition, I was a PR1 with Google but after using the software for a week I became a PR3.
