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.

How to Create Successful Website Promotions by Terry Detty

I found this article when I was researching a question aske on Mylot and thought that I would share it. If you have an affiliate web site to Market or a blog, this is a must read:

Many people make website promotion a lot harder than it has to be. Website promotion is quite easy if you break it down much like you might your ABCs. Web promotion is part of a comprehensive internet marketing campaign. There are several components of successful web promotion campaigns.

Ingredients of Successful Website Promotion Campaigns

So what's included in successful website promotion campaigns? That's easy. Here is what a good website promotion campaign should include:

* Email marketing - good website promotion always includes email marketing in the form of email advertising, auto responders, a newsletter or e-zine and sometimes e-courses.
* Web articles - if you don't have any web articles out, make a point to write some as part of your web marketing efforts.
* META tags - if you don't have META tags on your pages, all of the pages on your website, then go back and put them on. You don't have to have them but they certainly help with search engine optimization, and search engine marketing. A META description tag is essential if you want to increase your page rank on any major search engine.
* Keyword Phrases - make sure you have content and titles that are rich in keyword optimized phrases. If you aren't sure then do a search. Google will let you search for popular keywords. Find out what people are searching for and then include those terms on your pages. If you don't include the terms people search for the people won't find you on the web. It really is that simple.
* Reciprocal links - make sure you have plenty of inbound and outbound web links. Web linking is a terrific way to boost traffic and form good relationships with complementary businesses and web partners online. This will help increase your traffic and boost your reputation on the web. You can also network with other people in like-minded industries.
* Testimonials/References - often people want to hear from other people about their experiences. Why don't you post some of these on your web pages and in your email advertising or in your content? That way people will feel more comfortable when they reach out to do business with you. The more credible these references or testimonials, the more likely people are to trust you. If you can get an endorsement with a photograph of someone, this will work even better. And, if you are lucky enough to get a celebrity endorsement, you are probably going to win a LOT of visitors and paying customers!

Terry Detty knows that with Email Advertising and Internet Marketing, his website will rank higher in the search engines.

Project Payday

I think that Project PayDay is a good site.

You don't have to pay to join, you just sign up for a couple of offers and you gain access to their whole system, I have never been very trusting of we will give you something if you sign up for this, so I was very hesitate to follow thru with joining the program. The owner of the site offered me three things to sign up for that required to credit card information and those are the ones that I choice.

The system will teach you the following things:

How to Get Paid to Complete Offers For Others
How to Get Paid Cash Directly From the IFWs
How to Get Free Products to Keep or Sell on eBay
Technical Issues To Be Aware Of
FAQs about IFWs and Completing Offers

When you first visit the site it states that 13 out of 14 test students averaged between $200 and $2,000 in the first hour of using the program. Is it possible, yes, can you do it in only 1 or 2 hours, no, like most things if you want to see the result you have to work at it.

Earn Money Using Ebay without Selling Anything

I post back in January about Cashing in on Craigslist, which is a product that shows you how to use Craigslist and Ebay to make a profit. Since I posted that article I have learned new tricks with this blog so I wanted to show you the video without you having to leave my site. In addition I have seen a number of new products being advertised that state you can make money with E-Bay without selling a thing, so I wanted to share this video with you so you would understand what is involved with these type of products.




Honestly, I am not a huge supporter of affiliate programs, because it always involves more money in advertising and I don't know about you, but I don't have a lot of extra cash to be investing in advertising.

When I came across Cashing in on Craigslist, I was amazed. I spend $27 for the program and that is it, no additional fee necessary so that removes my reason for hating affiliate marketing. I was sceptical at first but I have to say, the steps are easy and if you follow them, you will make money using Craigslist (you will not get rich, you are sharing profits with Ebay).

After I got done reading the e-book and watching the video, my first thought was, this is genius, why didn't I think of that. If after watching the video you are interested in getting the ebook, click here.

I was really impressed with this one.

Work at Home Help Needed

I was wondering how the readers of this blog would feel about helping me out. My Work at Home adventure has been fun, expensive and time consuming. As you all know, I try every program that I review and I can't keep up with the requests.

As this site gains in popularity I am getting more and more requests to review work at home programs. So here are my questions and I would really appreciate your comments:

1. Would you be willing to purchase a program, I will e-mail you a link to a program that I have been asked to review, try it for at least 2 weeks if not a month and then write a review of your findings?

2. What kind of compensation would you want for doing this and helping stop people from being scammed? I am starting a new poll today please vote, upper right hand side of the screen, here is an explanation for each one

A. I would do it for free, I want to help other people find real work at home opportunities.
B. $5.00 per review would be great!
C. A contest, get the reviews and post them online, have other readers rate the review and then give a prize, like $50 to the best.

I would really love to hear your comments about this and see how many people are interested. myself personally I always love a good contest and I think it brings out the best in people, but lets hear what you think.

Nielsen's HomeScan - Earn Money From Shopping

Nielsen's Homescan is recruiting again. Honestly, I joined the home scan program a two years ago, but never really did anything with it. Life got in the way and I found that I did not have that much time this kind of work at home. However, it is a good program so I wanted to tell everyone about it.

Homescan focuses on measuring consumer attitudes and shopping behavior. People like you and me help manufacturers and retailers make decisions on what products to develop or improve by our spending habits. The best part is that Homescan is a part of The Nielsen Company, who is the world's leading marketing information provider.

Homescan provides you with a hand-held scanner, I thought that it was really cool, and every time you or someone in your household shops, you use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases. Then, once a week, upload your data via the Internet. That's it, you are done.

As payment for you efforts, here is the work at home (this is what you get information) you will earn gift points that are redeemable for merchandise, and I am not talking about cheap merchandise stuff like electronics equipment, jewelry, household items, toys and items like that. You will also earn entries into sweepstakes so you can win free gifts and sometimes cash.

If this sound interesting to you, click here.

Gomez Peer July Update

Gomez PEER announced that it added two new fulfillment partners, Moneybookers and Alipay. Moneybookers is a payment solution available anywhere in the world with a valid email address. Alipay is a China-based solution for Gomez PEERS in China also requiring a valid email address. As always, Gomez PEERS may utilize PayPal as a payment method.

This the current rate schedule for the Gomez PEER program.

Online Time Payments (per day) $0.00
Processing Time Payments (per min.) $0.0005
Referral Bonus (per Active Referral) $1.00
Min. Monthly Payment $5.00
Max. Earnings per month $45.00

I can't think of an easier or better way to earn a little bit of extra money, than just leaving my computer on all the time. Here is how it works:

Based on your computer's characteristics (Internet connection type, geographic location and Internet service provider), your PC will receive instructions to autonomously test the performance of Web sites — gathering important metrics that help identify network bottlenecks and performance problems. All of this happens "behind the scenes," even when you're away from your PC or asleep. Finally, your PC will send its results back to Gomez, where they are added to the work of thousands of other PCs around the world.

Home-Based Jobs for People with a Disabilities

I know that this will not apply to everyone, but as a person with a disability when I came across this program, I felt that I had to share it. If you do not have a disability you can NOT apply to this company.

National Telecommuting Institute, Inc. (NTI) helps Americans with disabilities find to employers willing to hire people for home-based assignments.

NTI, is a non-profit organization, that was established in 1995 to assist individuals with disabilities who strongly prefer or require home-based work.

NTI does not charge any fees to people with disabilities. They receive their funding from participating state vocational rehabilitation agencies, a Projects with Industry grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and a grant from the Mott Foundation. In addition they are also a contractor under the Social Security Administration's Ticket to Work program.

NTI's call center co-employers typically look for people who have both a pleasant manner on the phone and a clear speaking voice. Most people with average intelligence, reasonable social skills, and some basic computer skills can learn to perform call center work.

To actually enjoy the work, though, you should like helping people by answering their questions and solving their problems. You should also be able to handle the occasional rude or clueless customer without becoming upset yourself.

Approximately 10% of NTI’s teleworkers are individuals with visual impairments. Virtually all of the jobs we find can be performed by individuals with visual impairments who need only 2 times magnification of normal font size. For those who use screen readers or require more than 2 times magnification of normal font size, the job match can be more challenging. Some employers are using software applications that are accessible while others are not. If you require more than 2 times magnification, let your NTI interviewer know during the screening interview so that we can work most effectively with you.

Work-From-Home Rules

I don't think many people realize that working from home is work. Whether you decide to start your own business or work for a company, you will still have responsibilities. I would like to tell everyone about 3 simple rules that I learned about working at home:

1) Keep a consistent schedule. You no longer have someone looking over your shoulder making sure that you are working or that your job is getting done. You are in charge of your time and the work must be done.

Be real about your schedule, allow time for breaks, lunch, personal phone calls and e-mails or just time to walk away and figure something out. You are working at home, which means you will have more distractions than you would have in a traditional office.

2) Make sure that you have a dedicated room to work in. Your bed or kitchen table should not double as your office. The room should be a place where you can work with limited interruptions and that you feel comfortable in. A place that receives a lot of sun, I wouldn't pick the basement, it is a little to dreary down there to work at home. Make it place you don't mind spending hours during the day.

3) Keep track of your success and set goals. Setting goals in advance will give you something work towards and will give you a sense of accomplishment when you reach them. Even though goals are important, be aware that you may not always achieve your goals and that is OK, as long as you don't give up.

As people we want overnight happiness and success, when trying to work at home. Instant gratification when trying to start a business or work at home is not possible, but with time and effort anyone can work at home and make a living, just don't expect it to happen overnight and don't expect to get rich quick, it is not going happen. Nothing comes for free, you have to work to succeed.

Are Get Paid to... Websites a Scam

We have all come across them, Get paid to Join, Get Paid to try and so on. My question has always been, are they a scam or are they for real. Here is my opinion on the subject.

Get paid to try offers work at home opportunities seem to have a bad reputation because because people feel that they must invest money to earn money. Getting paid too is once of the rare opportunities where there is no initial investment and you start making immediately.

I know that this is going to sound like a weird request, but I want you to forget everything you have ever heard about getting paid to.. sites and watch the below video and learn how to get paid to try offers without being scammed or losing money. This video helped me a lot.



Nothing is perfect in life, therefore I am not claiming that get paid to try offers are flawless. They are not.

The way I see get paid to... offers is that I have a better change of earning money with these sites, than searching the Internet and sifting through the scams in my efforts to find a work at home job. This fact alone made me try get paid to... sites and in my opinion if you apply the techniques in the view and you are careful, you can make money online with get paid to... sites.

There is poll on the Right side of the screen, if you found this video useful and want more information on get paid to... sites, please register your vote.
