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.

Easy Google Income

So Easy Google Income, I saw an ad for them on Career builder, the CD is FREE, yes I said free. Wow I can work at home for free, further research is necessary I think.

Here is the deal, you only pay $1.99 for shipping and handling. What they don't tell you is that it is FREE to try the product for 7 days. After that, whatever method you used to pay for shipping and handling is then charged $39.95, so if you used your PayPal account it will be hit for the additional fee after 7 day, unless you cancel an return the CD.

Here is the real kicker, you can cancel at any time and not get charged, but even though the product was ordered online, you can't cancel it online. You have to call the UK to cancel and they have to pick up the phone, which apparently never happens.

Be aware and stay away, earning money online is possible, but read the fine print and research a product before sending anybody money.

Adsense Empire E-Book

On June 5th, I paid $5.95 to purchase a copy of the Adsense Empire E-Book. I don't normal buy a product without researching it first, however it was only $5.95 and that included reseller rights, what could possibily go wrong......

The answer is, I sent the money via paypal and never received the book. I sent three e-mails to the seller and I have not received a single response. At this point I am disputing the purchase with PayPal and hopefully I will get my money back.

I guess I should have followed my own advise and done my research first to see if anybody else had similar issues.

First rule to trying to work at home is research research research. I know that it is only $5.95 but it is the point of the matter. Don't offer me a product if you are not going to deliver.
