WAHJI for Sale! Tremendous Opportunity for You!

2009-04-28T21:03:00.002-05:00

It's a sad day for me but an enormous opportunity for you...

I am parting ways with this website after almost 6 years of it being my pride and joy. It was the first real website I ever started and has been very good to me over years. I learned most of what I know about home business, internet marketing, making money online, and SEO from building and marketing this very site. It has also made me a lot of money and put me in contact with many people whom I now call friends.

The decision to sell was not one that I took lightly. I've lost a lot of sleep recently while lying in bed at night trying to decide if I could possibly part with it. I came close to tears a few times too. In the end I really had no choice. The reasons are personal so I won't get into details, but selling it is about the only option I have right now.

I've done a lot of research to come up with a dollar value for this site. There are a lot of different ways to value a site so I ended up using what the majority of people I consider experts said to use. I am confident I have set a more than fair price for it, without inflating it out of emotion. It's actually priced quite a bit lower than what I found it to be worth based on my research.

As you can obviously see, the niches it covers are Home Business, Work at Home, Make Money Online, and related niches. These are very competitive and there's a lot of money to be made in them. It's already one of the top sites in these niches but there's virtually unlimited room for growth. Anyone who wants to take this site to the next level stands to make a ton of money without a lot of extra work since it's already so well established.

Anyway, I don't know what else to say and I am getting choked up just thinking about letting this baby go, so I guess I will end here.

Take a look at the auction for all the details:
http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/65386

If you have any questions let me know. And let your friends know about this sale in case they might be interested. You will be helping me out a lot and helping them find a great site!

How to Find Real Internet Business Ideas

2009-04-11T19:47:00.002-05:00

There are virtually unlimited ways to make money online but just because you earn money doesn't mean you have a real internet business. Unfortunately there are scams, outdated ideas & opportunities, and other ways to make a little money on the internet but they aren't real businesses. In this post I will take a closer look at these possibilities and tell you how to find real internet business ideas that you can implement to help you make money from home.

* Online Business Scams

You will see the word "scam" being thrown around a lot when it comes to making money online. Just about anytime someone is unhappy with a program or opportunity they have tried they are quick to call it a scam. However, this is often unfair and is usually not actually true. It implies that you have been intentionally deceived and defrauded. This does happen but it's a lot more unusual than you might think.

A couple examples of scams would be where you send money for a product that doesn't even exist, or you pay for business coaching and never get it. You can usually avoid having this happen to you by checking online forums or searching Google for reviews and information on the product or service that you are considering.

* Outdated Ideas and Opportunities

When you are browsing for ways to make money online you will undoubtedly come across some internet business ideas based on outdated methods that no longer work or don't work very well anymore. The internet changes very quickly so what works one year may not work the next year, and any online business strategy must be very flexible and keep up with the changes.

For example, a few years ago it was possible to make a lot of money with Adsense by building websites that automatically created thousands of spam pages to attract traffic from a ton of different keywords. The search engines figured this out and started dropping and banning those types of sites. They also changed their algorithms so sites like this wouldn't rank highly anymore. Google also made sites like that against the Adsense rules. Needless to say, that technique doesn't work anymore but you still see plenty of people promoting it as a great way to make money online.

Adsense is still a great business model and you certainly can make money with adsense. But you have to do it in a way that works right now, not a way that worked a few years ago or even last year. Internet marketing techniques change very fast so you need to continually learn how to make money online with adsense and keep up with the times.

* Is it a Real Internet Business?

Many people make money online working for others and think they have a real internet home business but they actually don't. This can be about any type of home job from writing website content to working in customer support. Many people are happy doing this type of work but it really cannot be called an internet business. Somebody is employing you, even if you never meet them or even talk to them other than through email or messenger.

There is a fine line between doing a work at home job for someone else and running your own online home business. One way to see the difference is to look at who sets the price. Is someone paying you a certain amount of money for doing a certain task? If so, they own the business. Or are you setting the price and accepting clients who take it, or doing things where you are in control of how you make the money and how much you can make? If so, you own the business.

* Where to Find Internet Business Ideas

One of the best ways to find home business ideas is to observe other successful businesses. Many people will offer to teach you how to make money online if you read (buy) their ebooks and products but you can often learn more from watching how they sell this service to you.

Even better, visit a site where websites are bought and sold to see the exact ways that the owners are making money from these sites. It is hard to get an idea of the money making potential of a website just by looking at it, but someone who is selling you the site will tell you exactly how much money it makes and how.

You can see profitable websites and real online business being sold at places like the Sitepoint Marketplace and Digital Point Forums. Look at the premium and established sites for sale and click through to the details. The owners will often provide detailed reports, screenshots, and PDF downloads of how they make money from the website.

You will see at these marketplaces that there are a massive variety of existing online businesses available to buy. Even if you want to build your own website instead of buying an existing one, visiting the site selling markets will give you a ton of home business ideas. Make sure you write them down so you don't forget all the details of these profitable internet businesses after the sites are sold.

I will finish by saying that it's not easy to build a real internet business that brings you in significant profits on a consistent basis. You will have to spend a lot of time learning, researching, working, and implementing new ideas and techniques. Don't expect to make money online fast and don't be fooled into thinking you can join some business opportunity then sit back and wait for the money to roll in. That's not going to happen!

Make Money Online Using WebSEO to Build Backlinks

2009-03-17T21:28:00.002-05:00

If you want to dominate the search engines and actually make money online then you need to get backlinks, and lots of them. But not just any link will do, you need keyword anchored backlinks. This will greatly increase your authority in the search engines which will then increase your rankings and traffic. In the end you make a lot more money!

Getting perfect backlinks is very difficult to do but there are several ways to get backlinks. You can submit articles to directories, write guest blog posts, do link exchanges, set up some link bait, write good content and hope people link to it, submit your site to web directories, comment on dofollow blogs, social bookmarking, forums, and lots of other things. However, most of those are very time consuming and will only get you so far.

What can you do to really ramp up your link building efforts?

There are several resources that can help you build backlinks. Some of the popular ones are Backlink Solutions, LinkVana, Article Marketing Automation, Traffic Kahuna, Article Marketer, Unique Article Wizard, and Bookmarking Demon. However, there is no way the average person trying to make money online could afford to pay for all of these each month. And it would be very difficult to find the time to write the articles and manage them all.

So, what's an option for people without the money for all those recurring subscriptions or the time to manage them all?

It's called WebSEO and it's a backlink building service that was created with those exact people in mind. A service that will help you get the links you need to achieve top search engine rankings and make money online without going broke or using up all your time in the process.

It's not a flashy or hyped up service. In fact, it's very straightforward and mostly unheard of. You don't even really get any information by visiting the site. Oh, in case you are wondering, the above link is not an affiliate link. I don't think they even have an affiliate program. I'm only telling you about it to help you get more backlinks and make more money!

Like I said, there isn't much information on the site so you might not know what the heck you are supposed to do. Here's the step by step process for you to follow:

1) Go to http://webseo.org
2) Register for an account. It's free.
3) Wait for admin to approve you.
4) Once approved you can then log in.
5) Choose the link package you want.
6) Pay via Paypal.
7) Submit your keywords and links.
8) Wait for your links to roll in.

That's it. Very simple and very affordable!

Keep in mind that this is a new system so there might be some changes being made here and there until all the kinks are worked out. So, the above process could change, or may have changed by the time you read this. Even still I am sure it will stay very simple and straightforward.

This link building system can be used as much as you want. You don't have any minimum use requirements or limits on how much you can use it. Just use it to get backlinks whenever you need to. There are no monthly fees, no strings attached, and no work on your part. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

It's definitely worth giving it a try!

Affiliate Marketing Online Business Tips

2009-03-04T15:09:00.002-06:00

An affiliate marketing online business is a great way to make money on the internet and affiliate marketers have it easy as far as online businesses go. Some of the biggest advantages of being an affiliate marketer are that you don't have to worry about researching a niche, creating a product, writing a sales letter, or doing any of the other things that are required when trying to make money from your own product.

When you are an affiliate marketer most of the work has already done for you. The only thing you really need to do is to promote the product you plan to sell. And there are more ways to do this than you can possibly imagine. And yet, as easy a time as affiliate marketers have, so few of them really take advantage of this fact by going the extra mile with their promotions. One area where many lack is in product reviews.

The reason doing a product review is so important is because it gives more credibility to your promotion. What do you think is going to be more effective, sending somebody straight to a sales page from some ad or sending them to a blog with a full review of the product? I can tell you from extensive experience that the review, if it's a good one, is going to sell more products than just sending the prospect to a sales page. The question is how should you do the review? Is there a way that works best?

I have a lot of affiliate marketing experience and I have found it's best to do a review that is as unbiased as possible. In other words, you want to talk about what you like and what you don't like about the product. Most affiliate marketers are reluctant to do this because they're afraid that if they say anything negative about the product at all, it's going to make the prospect less likely to buy it. Actually, the opposite is true. If you can honestly say that there are things you don't like about the product but overall you feel it is a good value, you are going to get more sales and make more money.

The reason for this is psychological. The prospect, having read that you've actually found fault, will believe that the review itself is actually true and not just a sales pitch. They are more inclined to believe you simply because you said, "I don't like..." and then whatever it is you have a problem with. Now, you don't want to list too many problems because then, the prospect may start to think that the product is crap. So take it easy on the criticisms, but keep them in there.

By writing a review that is honest and also completely goes over the product in question you are much more likely to make the sale than if you just sugarcoat the whole thing as one big positive sales pitch.

Here are three simple steps to successfully making money with an affiliate marketing online business through product reviews:

1) The first thing you need to do is obviously to pick an affiliate product that you can review and earn money from any sales you make. Once you find one you will want to get a copy of it yourself and go through it. The reason is because if you're going to write a comprehensive review of the product you must know it inside and out.

Now, you can usually get one by simply writing to the product creator and asking them for a review copy. Most product creators will be more than happy to comply if they see you're serious about becoming and affiliate and promoting their product. If they won't give it to you for some reason just buy one or move on to another product. After you go through the product, you want to write your review of it.

2) The next step in the affiliate marketing product review process is to get a Blogger blog. The reasons I suggest Blogger are because it's free, easy to set up, and the service is owned by Google. You'll get the best results with Blogger, at least as far as the free options go. Naturally, your own domain and hosting will be the better option, but that's going to cost some money and take longer to set up.

Anyway, get your free blog and make sure you choose a name and URL that closely matches the product you're going to review because you're going to post the review up on the blog itself. At the end of the blog post, you're going to include an affiliate link to the product.

3) Finally, you're going write a few articles on the topic that relates to the product you are promoting. Then, you are going to submit these articles to ezinearticles.com first and then a few other article directories. The reason I suggest ezinearticles.com is because it is the best article directory online. At the bottom of your article, you're going to include a resource box with a strong call to action to your blog review. Point out that you're reviewing this product. Anybody interested will want to read it.

That's all you have to do! The whole affiliate marketing review process can be done in less than a day and it won't cost you a dime. If you pick the right niche product and target the right keywords, each article can easily bring in a few sales and make money for you.

Why not give it a try? It's a very simple way to start a successful affiliate marketing online business and you may just find that it's the easiest money you've ever made!

The Best Resource for PIPS Owners

2009-02-10T21:48:00.003-06:00

There's no doubt that Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS) is definitely one of the best options for starting an internet home business, or expanding an existing online business. There are numerous reasons for that including several top income streams in one place, having a professional site built for you, proven track record, countless success stories, great training, and MUCH more!

The 30 day training that comes with PIPS is good but I have found that often times new PIPS owners are still confused as to what they need to do in order to build their home business after going through it. Furthermore, there are several tools and resources recommended in the 30 day training that can end up costing quite a bit if you buy them all, and they aren't always the best option anyway.

So what is a new Plug-In Profit Site owner supposed to do?

In my opinion the absolute best thing any "PIPSster" can do is become a member of the PIPS Power Group (PPG). It is a highly recommended resource and really the only thing you will need to build a successful internet home business with the Plug-In Profit Site.

The PIPS Power Group is comprised of 5 highly experienced and successful PIPS members and each of them earn a full-time income from home through their online business. Let's meet the team...

1) Jeff Schuman is a full time internet marketer and the owner of a PIPS site that is one of the most visited make money online websites on the internet. It is ranked highly on the search engines for thousands of keyword phrases, many of which are very competitive. He started his online business with PIPS back in 2002 and continues with it today.

2) Suzanne Morrison earns a six figure income from home as a full time affiliate marketer. She owns more than 20 successful websites and blogs, and has written several ebooks. Her internet marketing career started with her Plug-In Profit Site and she still does very well with it.

3) Jeff Casmer has been working at home since 2000 and has built a very successful home business. He's been a PIPS member since the beginning and his website is one of the top work at home sites on the internet. He truly is an online business expert and a leader in the industry.

4) Cynthia Minnaar started her internet home business through PIPS back in 2006. She is now a top earner in many programs consistently outranking several well-known internet marketers. She earns a full time income from her online business and is always willing to help others do the same thing.

5) Ken Troyer is a highly driven entrepreneur who taught himself how to make money online. He is now a seasoned internet marketer and sought after online business coach. He is also the owner and founding member of the PIPS Power Group.

It really is time for you to stop wasting your time and money on all the other crap out there. Let these experts take you under their wings and teach you how to earn a fabulous income online from a single website.

You will learn more from the PIPS Power Group in your first couple weeks than you will in years trying to figure it all out for yourself, and you will save a ton of money! PPG delivers exceptional value for money. You won't find them falling one bit short of their promises. In fact, they massively over-deliver!

If you won't take my word for it then just go read all the testimonials they have received from satisfied customers. There are a lot of them.

What more can I say? I think that pretty much covers it. All the help you will ever need to start and build a successful online home business with your Plug-In Profit Site packaged up into one membership.

If you are already a member of PIPS then head over to the PIPS Power Group and join right now so you can get on the fast track to online business success!

If you aren't currently a member of PIPS, what are you waiting for? Get your Plug-In Profit Site immediately and then join PPG. You will be making money online before you know it!

One more thing...

If you aren't a member of PIPS and for some reason you are not interested in becoming one, you can still be coached and mentored by these 5 online business experts through the Niche Power Group!

Several Easy Ways to Make Money Online

2009-02-09T21:27:00.002-06:00

As you probably already know making a living online isn't really the easiest thing you will ever do however, there are several easy ways to make money online than you can get started on right away. One of the best things about running your own online home business is that there are several options available to you for making money online and no one option is necessarily better than another. However, some make money online options may be better for you than others depending on your skills, interests, and time you have to devote to your online business.

In this post I will show you a few of the most common ways to make money online and what's involved with each. Hopefully, you'll find a make money online method that fits your personality and what you're looking for.

Selling your own product is one of the easiest and most common ways to make money online. Take a look around the internet and you will find that there are more products being sold than you can possibly imagine. People are making money selling everything from ebooks to CD's to memberships, and a whole lot more. The opportunities for making money online are virtually unlimited. Obviously whatever product you sell will depend on how much work you want to put into to creating it. Some products will require a lot more time and work than others. For example, selling a simple digital ebook about how to make money online is a lot easier than trying to create and sell your own line of personal computers.

Another easy way to make money online is by providing some sort of online service. There are many services that you could provide in various niches that people could use and would pay for. Some popular services that people offer to make money online are copywriting, article writing, ghost writing of ebooks, web design, programming, and so on. For instance look at an autoresponder service like Aweber that caters to online business owners. Obviously, running something like that is going to take a lot more work than writing an ebook or a sales letter for a customer but it can pay off much more in the end. You just need to choose an online business model that is best for you.

Also, let's not forget about contextual advertising as an easy way to make money online. Programs such as Google Adsense make it very easy for almost anyone to start their own online business and make money online. One of the most important things for succeeding with this is to do proper keyword research and start your sites/blogs on high paying niches with relatively low competition and a strong potential market.

Of course, there are also some other easy ways to make money online such as participating in get paid to (GPT) programs. These range from taking simple surveys to getting paid for trying out free offers. The biggest advantage for doing these is that there really isn't much work involved in them and it's very easy to make money. You can usually just do them in your spare time for an hour or two each day. The disadvantage is that most of these GPT programs don't pay very well. You can make enough to cover some daily expenses but don't expect to get rich.

And finally there are some other things you can do to make money online, such as dabbling in forex, gambling or even getting into the stock market itself. There are plenty of ways to make money online and I am sure you will find one that fits with your goals and desires. The main thing you need to remember is to research each money making method to determine if it's something that you can or even want to do.

Top 10 Make Money Online Myths

2009-02-03T17:19:00.006-06:00

Even though you may want to start your own internet home business so you can make money online and create a better life for you and your family, there are several excuses you might use for not doing it. Most of your excuses are simply make money online myths that you believe are true but really they are false. In this post I will show you the top 10 make money online myths and the truth behind them.

So, here are the top ten make money online myths:

Make Money Online Myth #1: I don't have the time to build an online business.

That's not true! It doesn't take an excessive amount of time to make money online and most people really aren't as busy as they think they are anyway. You probably have a full time job and a family to tend to. So what! Most people do. If you actually prioritize your time, you will find that you can spare a couple hours every day to build your online business. Most people that do have successful online home businesses were just like you when they started out. If you want something badly enough, you will find the time to make it happen.

Make Money Online Myth #2: It costs too much to start an online business.

Again, not true! You can start an online business for very cheap and it just keeps getting cheaper all the time. The cost of web hosting, domains, web design, programs, tools, resources, information, and everything else you might need for your online business only add up to a few dollars per day. And most of it you can find for free. Stop buying that $3 cup of coffee every morning and your business expenses are paid for!

Make Money Online Myth #3: I'm not smart enough to run an internet business.

I highly doubt that! You are obviously smart enough to work a computer and you were smart enough to find this post, so you are probably smart enough to run your own online business. You don't really have to be very smart to make money online and there's plenty of information and resources available for you to learn everything you need to know.

Make Money Online Myth #4: I'm not an expert at anything.

You'd be very surprised at how many topics you actually do know a lot about if you think hard about it. Besides, you don't have to be an expert in anything to make money online. I had a degree in Criminology and was working at a prison when I decided I wanted to start my own online business. I started researching information about making money online and had my business up and running in a matter of days. It wasn't long before I had quit my day job and was making a full time income from my home business.

Make Money Online Myth #5: I don't have an information product to sell so I can't earn money online.

So what! You don't need a product in order to start an online home business. There are plenty of products on just about every topic imaginable that you can sell as an affiliate. You can promote these existing products as an affiliate marketer and earn commissions on every sale you make. There are also plenty of other ways to make money online until you decide what you really want to do for your online business. Then, you can create your own product to sell later if you want.

Make Money Online Myth #6: There's too much competition so I will never make any money.

That's a lame excuse! There are millions upon millions of people searching for all sorts of topics you can be making money from every day. Plus there are thousands of new people who are coming online all the time that could be in your target market. With an online business your market is virtually unlimited! And if you have competition for your home business idea all that really means is that it's a good idea. Trust me, you can compete!

Make Money Online Myth #7: I've tried several online business ideas and failed. Making money online is just not my thing.

Well, you could be right on this one, however you are probably wrong. Your failure most likely stems from not sticking to one business idea and building it up. If you jump from one idea or opportunity to another without ever really giving any one of them a fair shot then failure is certain. You must put in sufficient effort and time into any online business idea before you will really make money or find any level of success.

Make Money Online Myth #8: The only people who make money online are the ones selling "how to make money online" products to newbies.

This is something I hear all the time and it's ridiculous! I've built a successful online business and have been making money online since 2003, and I still don't sell my own "how to make money online" product. Your online business can be built in any niche you want. You don't have to get into the MMO niche if you don't want to. There's an unlimited supply of great niches out there for you to profit from.

Make Money Online Myth #9: I need a lot of advertising dollars or I won't find any customers.

Nope, that's absolutely not true! The internet is the perfect place for marketing your home business without needing a lot of money to do so. There are many very effective ways to market and advertise your business on the internet and most of them are either free or very cheap. I've had my online business since 2003 and I have never spent a large sum of money on any marketing or advertising method.

Make Money Online Myth #10: Getting top search engine rankings is impossible and I can't make money without them.

Wrong again! In highly competitive niches it is very difficult to achieve top search engine rankings, but it's not impossible. It can be done if you put in enough time and effort to get there but you don't need to because there are plenty of profitable niches out there that are fairly easy to get top search engine rankings for. All you have to do is find a good niche, build a website around it, get it ranked highly, earn money, rinse and repeat. It's not very difficult.

Alright, that's it. The top 10 make money online myths and the truth about them. Don't convince yourself, or let anyone else tell you that you can't build a successful online home business. You can do it if you really want to. It won't exactly be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. So get started right now so you can create financial freedom and a better future for you and your family.

Introducing the Blog Flipping University

2009-01-20T20:33:00.003-06:00

Since buying and selling websites and blogs (usually referred to as Blog Flipping or Site Flipping) is such a popular way to make money online and there are a lot of people looking for information on how to make money flipping blogs, I decided to start The Blog Flipping University to educate you on all aspects of making money blog flipping.

Blog flipping is an online business model that can be very lucrative. You can make money flipping new blogs or established blogs. There are people making $100 to $2500 or more selling brand new blogs that took them no more than a few hours to build. And developed blogs with existing traffic and earnings can bring in significantly more per sale. Some blog flippers are making well over $10,000 every month by flipping blogs. You can too!

It's not very difficult to flip blogs for profit but you need the right information for how to do it correctly or you could very easily waste a lot of time and money. That's why I started The Blog Flipping University. I want to teach you how to make money flipping blogs... and lots of it!

If you want to keep updated on all the blog flipping tips I will be giving each month then I suggest you subscribe to the RSS feed.

5 Reasons You Won't Make Money Online in 2009

2009-01-10T22:41:00.005-06:00

It's the start of the new year and that always means a huge influx of people turning to the internet to try their hand at making money online. Well, I am going to give you 5 reasons why you won't make money online in 2009 so you can save yourself some time and a few headaches.

1) You're Lazy

You don't want work for your money and you think that you can find an opportunity online where you can do nothing all day and the money will just pour into your bank account. Well, if that is what you think, you might as well give up on trying to make money online right now because it's not going to happen! Don't you think if it was really that easy then everyone would do it and we would all be rich?

2) You're Stupid

Don't get me wrong, you might have a Harvard degree with a 4.0 GPA but that doesn't mean you know anything about how to make money online. If you think starting another "make money online" blog is your path to internet wealth, you are wrong. I'm sure you have been led to believe that starting a MMO blog is the way to go, but it's not true. Find a few good smaller niche markets to get started in and you will make things a lot easier on yourself.

3) Your Mentor Sucks

You are following the wrong people in your quest to make money online. There are a few big name bloggers that newbie’s always seem to find and start following. The only problem is they don't actually teach you anything about how to make money online.

A good example of this is JohnChow.com who rarely gives any useful information on his blog yet he has thousands of subscribers and for some reason his blog is where many beginners go to find make money online advice. If you really want to learn how to make money online you must follow people that will give you useful information.

Here's a post I wrote recently that will help you find some great blogs to follow:
I Follow These Blogs and You Should Too!

4) You Don't Listen

When you are given real information by someone who actually knows how to make money online (like Me or Griz), you don't do what they say. If you want to be successful at making money online, you must listen to other successful people when they give you useful advice. Don't just shrug off advice from others because you think you can do it a different or better way.

5) You're Impatient

You want to get rich quickly and that's simply not going to happen. Yes, there are some ways to make money fast online but it won't be the kind of money you can live off. You must realize right now that making a living online is a marathon, not a sprint. If you come in thinking you will make thousands of dollars per month in a few months you're just going to get frustrated and quit.

There are plenty of people who try to make you believe you will get rich quick if you buy their program or system, but it will not happen. Just trust me on that one, I have been an internet marketer since 2003 and I have only seen it happen a couple times in all those years. It takes time and a lot of hard work to build a successful online business.

Now, if you read this far that's great! You are probably serious about wanting to make money online and might actually have what it takes. I want you to know that I am definitely not saying that you can't make money online. You certainly can! I do and I know many other people who do too.

This post is not meant to be literal and it is not aimed at any one person. The point of it is to give you some reasons why most people do not make money online. Avoid falling into the traps listed above and you will be much more likely to become one of the few success stories truly able to make a living online!

Good luck to you my friend. I am always here to help so let me know if you have any questions.

How to Make Money Fast Online

2009-01-06T14:16:00.008-06:00

The question of how to make money fast online has come into everyone's mind at one time or another. If you have ever asked yourself, "how do I make money online fast?" you are in luck because there is an answer to that question! There are actually several ways to make money online fast, but I have given you a few of your best options below.

Here are 3 websites where you can make money fast online:

1. Cash Crate

2. Associated Content

3. Forum Booster

Let's begin with Cash Crate. Cash Crate should be one of the first stops for anyone looking to make money fast online. Cash Crate is a free opportunity where you get paid to take surveys and complete other offers. They pay anywhere from less than a dollar up to around a hundred dollars for each offer you do.

Doesn't sound too bad now does it? The reason they pay you to complete simple surveys and do the offers is because companies are willing to shell out a lot of money for in-depth information from consumers to find out exactly what they want and what they think about their products or services.

They even have a free daily survey in the members area that is guaranteed to make you some extra income; the guaranteed daily survey pays $0.80. It's not much but it does come out to almost $30 extra per month for doing something so simple and free. Plus, there are hundreds of other surveys and offers you can complete to make much more money each month.

I made $7.50 in about five minutes right before I started writing this post. And I have a friend who makes around $500 per month from Cash Crate just by spending a few hours completing offers. This is a great way to make money online quickly and easily.

The next site that we will talk about is Associated Content. You can make money fast by writing content for Associated Content. For those of you who aren't familiar with the online language, content means articles.

When you write articles for Associated Content they will pay you anywhere from $3 to $40 for each one.

Most of the time the bids that they place on your content are for less than $10, however, this is still a great way to make money online very fast if you can type several articles per day. You may be surprised to see how easy it is to earn a part time income through writing for Associated Content.

Are you still looking for ways to make money fast online? Well, if writing articles and taking surveys doesn't sound like something you are interested in doing; you can always make money fast with Forum Booster.

Forum Booster is a website that pays you $0.10 for each post you make on a forum. This is great for people that would be searching and posting on forums anyway, so why not get paid for it? If you can post sixty posts in 1 hour, you can make about $50 in a normal eight hour work day. That isn't much but it's not too bad if you need to make money online quickly and you are sitting at home doing nothing anyway.

You also have the advantage of working at home so you can be in your pajamas sipping coffee while working on posting on these forums. Each post should be a minimum of 12 words, which is not difficult to do at all. This is a very good way to make money online so you can pay some bills you are behind on, or buy something you really want but can't afford right now.

Like I said, there many ways to make money fast online but these are some of the best and easiest.

Do You Have an Internet Home Business or a Work at Home Job?

2008-12-16T14:19:00.002-06:00

If you make money online, here's a question for you to ponder for a while...

Do you have your own internet home business or do you have a work at home job?

Right now you are probably thinking that you definitely have your own internet home business because you work for yourself on your home computer.

But are you correct in thinking that?

There are quite a few very big differences between an internet home business and a work at home job and the differences are pretty obvious when you take time to really look at how you are making money online. Let’s look at each side and show them exactly how they are...

It mainly boils down to how you make money online that determines whether it's a business or a job.

You have your own online business if...

* You make money online from selling products. These can be your own products that you created or affiliate products.
* You make money online from selling websites or blogs that you have created.
* You make money online from selling adverting space on your websites or blogs.
* You make money online from selling articles or content that you have written yourself.

There are some other ways you can make money that would constitute you having your own online business but the ones listed above are the main methods. Basically if you earn your living on the internet from your own websites or blogs, or by selling something that is created by you then you have your own online business.

You have an online job if...

* You get paid by someone else to produce something for them for a specified amount of money.
* You get paid by someone else for writing articles, blog posts, advertisements, sales copy or other content for them.
* You get paid by someone else for creating and designing websites for them.
* You get paid by someone else for taking surveys, reading emails, posting in forums, or performing another task online for them.

There are other ways you can make money that would mean you work an online job but the ones listed above are some of the most common. Basically you work an online job if you get paid by someone else to do something for them.

Do you see the difference?

It all boils down to whether or not you make money from the sale of products or services. If you do then you have an internet business. And if you are getting paid by someone else for a service you provide, you have an online job.

When you have your own online business you do things that benefit yourself. You build your own websites and do your own marketing and advertising, and you make money from your customers. You are in control of how much work you put in and how much money you can potentially make. If you do something like write your own ebook and build a website with a sales letter to sell it, then you have created your own product. You will then market it using various internet marketing techniques and hopefully a lot of people will buy it. You don’t have to re-write it for each new customer and you will keep making money from that product as long as it keeps selling.

When you have an online job, you must work the hours needed in order to complete the task you are getting paid by someone else to do. You will do the work and then give it to your "boss" so they can use it for whatever they needed and pay you for it. The work is no longer yours and you no longer make money from it. You have to do another new job to keep making money.

If you want to really create financial freedom for yourself online you must have your own internet home business. You will not get rich doing a work at home job because you will always have to keep working and completing tasks to get paid by someone else. You can only work so many hours in a day and you can only get paid so much for your work. You have a lot more leverage and options with an online business.

Now is the time for you to sit back and really look at how you make money online. Do you have your own online business or do you have an online job? There's nothing wrong with doing online work for someone else and getting paid for it. However, if you are worried about your future or want to create financial freedom for you and your family, you really need to get started on your online business immediately!

How to Start a Free Internet Home Business

2008-11-24T23:49:00.002-06:00

With so many opportunities and ideas out there to make money online, you can get very confused when searching for information on how to start a free internet home business. While there are many free ways to make money online, it is very difficult to start an actual internet home business for free. However, an internet home business does offer entrepreneurs an extremely low cost of entry, especially in comparison to traditional offline brick and mortar businesses that often carry high start up costs.

To start a real business either online or offline, you should be prepared to make a monetary investment. There are countless websites, ebooks, seminars and coaching programs that promise to teach you how to start a free internet home business, but most of them will require you to spend money on something before it's all said and done. If you really want to start an internet business and make money online for free, there are a few simple ways to do so and you can begin using them immediately.

Here are 3 ways to start an internet home business and make money online without spending any money at all:

Affiliate Marketing – In simple terms this is just promoting products that other people have created and getting paid commissions from the product creator for any sales you make. One of the best places to find products to promote is on the Clickbank.com digital products marketplace. Vendors place their products in the Clickbank marketplace and affiliates search the marketplace looking for products to sell for commissions. It's very easy and free to sign up as a Clickbank affiliate and start promoting the products found there.

Freelancing – This is another great way to start a free internet business. Internet marketers and other online entrepreneurs are always looking for freelancers to perform tasks for them. They will pay you to do things such as write articles, build websites, research information, create products, get backlinks, write blog posts, programming, and just about anything else you can think of. If you have a skill there is someone willing to pay you for your services. Freelance sites like guru.com, getafreelancer.com, and elance.com are all great places to find work as a freelancer.

Selling PLR Content – This can be a fast way to make money online in a short amount of time. There is no shortage of internet business owners looking for content that they can use on their websites and blog, or resell as their own. All you need to do is find an in-demand topic, research the topic, and write articles, reports, or ebooks on it. You can then sell the content and the Private Label Rights (PLR) to it. The Warrior forum, Sitepoint marketplace, and Digitalpoint forums are all great places to sell your content.

So, as you can see, it is possible to make money online for free. You can start a free internet home business by using any or all of the techniques above. If you are looking to build a long-term successful online business but don’t have any money right now then I suggest you make some extra money by using the techniques above and then invest that money back into your real internet home business.

Internet Home Business Ideas

2008-11-06T13:52:00.005-06:00

Are you looking for internet home business ideas? Well you have come to the right place because today I will be discussing some of the best internet home business ideas so you can make an informed decision on what route you want to go in starting a home business.

There are plenty of existing internet home business opportunities that you can tap into and get started on your home business right away. Or you can take a known home business idea and use it to create your own online business. Either way you go there's a huge opportunity for you to become very successful.

Below I have listed some of the most popular internet home business ideas that can be used alone, combined, or taken as a starting point to put your own twist on to create your own home business.

1) Affiliate Marketing - There's an affiliate program for pretty much everything you can think of nowadays. Most of them are free to join. You can promote products or services as an affiliate marketer and get paid a percentage of each sale you make. This is one of the fastest and easiest ways to start an internet home business.

2) Network Marketing / MLM - Starting an internet home business in the multi-level marketing (MLM) industry can be a very good option. This home business idea has been around for a very long time and was popular even before the internet was invented. But the internet has made it a lot easier to succeed in network marketing. There are a lot of very well known MLM companies that you can join to start your internet home business immediately.

3) Freelancing - There are people all over the internet that need various services done for them and they are willing to pay pretty good money to have them done. Things like writing articles, designing websites, marketing, blogging, and all sorts of other things. You can start your internet home business by doing this freelance work for others.

4) Information Products / Membership Sites - Definitely one of the most popular internet home business ideas is to write an ebook or start a membership site. These can make you a lot of money if they are high quality, in the right niche and marketed properly. They also aren't very difficult to do compared to the potential payoff.

5) Website Flipping - This internet home business idea has gained huge popularity in the past year or so and is becoming even more popular every day. Basically it's similar to flipping houses in the offline world. You buy a website at a low price, fix it up a little bit, increase its worth, and sell it for a higher price.

6) Adsense - Maybe the most popular home business idea on the internet. Almost everyone who makes money online has done it with Adsense at one time or another. The reason is because it's so simple to set up, it's free, and you can use it for almost every niche.

7) Niche Marketing - Researching smaller niches with a good market but not a lot of competition and then creating content or promoting products within that niche is a very good internet home business idea. There are a lot of people who make very good money by doing this.

How to Make Money by Saving Money

2008-10-21T14:43:00.005-05:00

Have you ever heard the saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned" or some variation of it? I bet you have. And it does have a lot of truth to it. Many of the wealthiest people in the world are also very tight with their money, or at least they were before they got rich. They are very good about saving money where they can and not wasting it on things they don't really need.

Part of making money with your home business, or any other way you earn your living, is saving money you don't need to spend. Not to mention the fact that we are in an economic crisis right now and saving money is on all of our minds!

So, while you are trying to learn how to make money online, you can also be thinking about how to save money that you can either reinvest into your home business to make more money or help yourself get out of debt, or anything else you need it for.

Here seven ways you can make money by saving money today:

1) Always Carry Cash - Make sure you always have cash in your pocket and when you see something you want to buy only use cash to buy it. If you can't afford it then don't buy it. It's easier to stop yourself from buying things you don't really need or can't actually afford when you are using cash instead of credit. You will save money by doing this.

2) Cash Back Credit Cards - I know I said above not to use credit cards but there are times when you simply have to. During those times make sure you use a credit card that gives you cash back on purchases. Most of them won't give you much but even a couple percent is better than nothing. You can also go to OpTempo.com and find money saving reviews to help you save even more money when buying some of the products you need.

3) Gas - Although gas prices have gone down a little bit lately they are still outrageous and will probably go back up again. Every bit you can save on gas will add up very quickly. You can save money on gas by walking when you only have to go a few blocks, carpooling to work, riding your bike when possible, buying a hybrid vehicle or converting your vehicle to run on water, etc...

4) Buying IM Products - If you are reading this blog then there's a good chance that you are an internet marketer or are at least trying to make money online. But do you really need to buy every new ebook, membership site or program that comes out promising to make you the next internet millionaire? No you don't! There are plenty of sites and blogs that will teach you how to make money online for free.

5) Set Up a Budget - Getting back to the basics on this one. I'm sure you have heard a million times before that you should have a budget so you know how much you are spending and where your money is going. There's plenty of software out there that will help you keep track of your budget. You can save a lot of money by knowing exactly what you are wasting your money on.

6) Pay Yourself First - If you spend all the money you make without keeping any of it then you aren't helping yourself at all. Let's say you work for 10 straight days and earn $100 each day. By the end of that period, you will have earned $1,000. Now, if you spend the entire $1,000 and you have none of it left all your efforts have evaporated! You have nothing left to show for it! What were you working for? You gave away all your money by paying everyone else except yourself!

If you keep the money you earn on day one you would be keeping 10% of your income and spending the money you earn in the remaining nine days on bills and whatever else you need to spend it on. If you do the same thing in every 10 day period, no matter what, you would be paying yourself first and your money savings would add up very quickly.

7) Read Books on Money - It's not a coincidence that most wealthy people read books on money. People who don’t know a lot about money strategies are the same people who are usually poor. People with a lot of money tend to use their time learning about making money, investing money, handling money, and saving money. You should be doing this too!

There, now you have 7 ways you can make money by saving money. Since you now know how to make money by saving money it's time to start practicing these techniques to put more money in your bank account today!

5 Years and Counting!

2008-10-20T18:37:00.000-05:00

The five year anniversary of this home business website has come and gone. I started my online business with this site - http://www.work-at-home-jobs-iowa.com - on October 14, 2003 so it's five years old this month.

I started this free home business tips blog about 9 months later in July 2004, and it has been going strong ever since.

There have been many additions and changes to the website & blog over the years but I have always tried to give useful and relevant information to help my visitors make money online. I've spent a lot of time and effort growing this site into one of the top resources for home based business / work at home information.

There are over 1000 pages of this site indexed on Google and probably another 500 or so that for some reason aren't showing up. It also ranks highly on Google for almost all of the most competitive keyword phrases related to Home Based Business, Work at Home, and Make Money Online.

It has been a long and very enjoyable road so far and it definitely doesn't seem like it has already been five years. I've made a lot of online friends over the years and can't even tell you how much I have learned about online business during this five year stretch. It has been a lot of fun! I can't wait to see what happens in the next five years! I'm sure the time will fly right by and I will be making my 10 year anniversary post before I know it.

Hopefully you have learned a lot about running your own home business, working at home, and making money online from this website. I will continue to teach everything I know about these topics for many years to come!
