There have always been 4 basic ways in which a Home Based Beginner could make money online from their Business website and if you want to Work From Home it is vital you make the right choice.
Which one you decided to choose will make the difference between Home Based Business Success and Home Business misery. If you are already skilled your path to success may be a little easier but Home Based Beginners have no chance of success by just “Jumping in” the deep end.
Most Internet Beginners start out with a rough idea of what Home Business Venture they want to get involved in, but the truth is, very few people actually know what they are doing.
And That Is Why Over 95% Of Home Based Business Beginners Fail Before They Even Start. And Of Those People Who Last Their First Year…Less Than 3% Will Ever Make Any real money!
Which one of the 4 ways you choose will depend on your knowledge, your experience and your Business background. But be absolutely sure that you cannot make it alone and you cannot find Success without the right knowledge.
How successful you become is dependant on many things, but one thing is for sure…
Choose The Wrong One For You, And You Will Spend Everyday Wishing You Were Back In Work Earning A wage!!
1. You could sell your own products from a Home Business website.
2. You could sell Other People’s Products on your website.
3. You could sell Banner Advertisements to other website companies.
4. You could show banner ads from one of the many advertising networks on your Home Business website.
Each One Of The Above Require A Lot Of Time And Dedication. Some Methods Require A Great Deal Of Knowledge And Luck. I Don’t Believe In Luck And Neither Should You!! Especially When You’re Financial Future Hangs In The Balance.
Selling your Own Products is by far the hardest and most time consuming way to make money online. If you have dreams of selling Physical products you will have to work 7 days a week.
The rewards are potentially massive if you know you’re Niche and if you have a strong grip on the competition but remember, selling your own products from a Home Business is a 24 hour job if you’re looking for genuine financial results.
Selling Other Peoples Products is a relatively easy procedure to follow as long as you’ve spent a good amount of time researching the company and the products you’re aiming to promote or Presell then the Financial rewards can be staging!
There are some very Essential Rules you must learn to master before you begin to understand the skills involved in Preselling other website products but it is not difficult to learn and is one of the most stress free and rewarding ways to make money online.
You Take NO FINANCIAL Risks What-So-Ever When You Presell Other Peoples Products And You Could Be Making Money In Less Than 24 Hours!!
The risks are far less than if you were selling your own products and the rewards can be just as good. Working from home should not be a 24 hour day and should definitely not be stressful!
There are some pitfalls when you sell other peoples products or services from your own website and getting paid can be a real burden if you don’t spend enough time Researching the Affiliate Program you are thinking of promoting.
Selling banner advertisements and using your website to promote banner advertisements is the hardest way to earn money as a Work At Home Entrepreneur. If you are an Internet Beginner the task will seem almost impossible. It is a never ending task of chasing and Researching.
Unless you’re skilled, I would advise you to stay well away. If you’re just starting out on the road to internet success I would recommend you keep things simple. Advertising can be a cut throat business.
But It’s Not All Gloom And Doom For The Beginner…Or the Unskilled…Or Those People Who Have No Idea What They Want To Do… There Is A New Way To Make Money And All You Have To Do Is Learn To Write!!
The Internet has been moving at a speed which is faster than a speeding rocket and thankfully for all us work at home business people, the internet is fast becoming the “Only Place To Be!
With The Introduction Of Goggle Adwords and Goggle Adsence the Work At Home Revolution Is At The Very Beginning Of A Very Profitable “Golden Journey To Success”.
All you have to do is jump on board, read the rule book and hold on for the ride of your life. I kid you not!! There has never been a better time to find genuine success from a Home Based Business than there is RIGHT NOW.
There has never been an easier, safer way for you to make money from the comfort of your own computer chair. You won’t need to spend your savings and you wont have to wait to get paid.
All You Have To Do Is Provide The Search Engines With The Content They Need To Keep The Web Surfers Happy And Let Goggle Do The Rest!!
You won’t have to package any products, you’ll spend zero time answering emails and if you want to work out the back in the sunshine with your laptop, that’s cool too!
And that’s the beauty of Working From Home. All you have to do is write about your passion or your hobby or even your skills. The more you research and write the more potential you have for earning more money.
The more money you earn, the more you’ll want to write and the better your home business website will stand out. The more your online business stands out, the better you’re Search Engine ranking.
The more you impress the Search Engine Spiders the more money you’ll earn. It’s a great circle… and none of it is vicious! The only risk you take is giving up some time to concentrate on living the DREAM in real time instead of when you’re sleeping!
Start Your Journey To Home Based Millionaire Today! Do Not Put It Off And Do Not Think It’s Just A Dream. It Is As Real As Monday Morning For Millions Of Unhappy Working People!!

Parents - Boost Your Work-at-Home Self-Confidence with These 3 Tips
Working at home got you down? No peers to talk too?
Juggling all the aspects of your life, along with working at home, can sometimes make it seem like things have gotten out of control. And it's all crashing down on you at once. You begin to wonder if you're doing this, that, or anything at all, right. When your self-confidence wavers, try these quick tips to shore it up again, and give yourself a break.
1. Don’t set the bar so high. You're not Super Mom (or Dad). Nobody is. Sit down and list all of your current commitments. Must you do them all? Prioritize tasks and commitments to better manage your time. Make a concerted effort to drop the activities that aren’t profitable and/or the tasks you don't have the time for.
2. Make time for yourself. Remember that along with your business, spousal, and parental duties, you have one more: to yourself! Budget your time so there is some left over for you. Get a babysitter if necessary, so that you have a regular evening off/out. Do whatever you feel like doing. Take a class in something that interests you, or just relax with a book in the tub. You'll come back to your other obligations refreshed, and better able to deal with them.
3. Dress for success. Whether that's for the home office, or a meeting with your children's teachers, wear the things that make you feel good. Choose colors that please you, in styles that are appropriate to wherever you may wear them. Get a new haircut, facial, or make-up consultation. Let the real you shine!
Are these tips easy to accomplish? They will take a bit of effort. But with some discipline and time management skills, you’ll be on your way to a new and improved you!

Watch Out For Work At Home Scams
If you’re like me you would love to work at home. Just think we could stay in our pajamas all day, not have to answer to anyone and work when we want. Not to mention make thousands a month doing it!
There are many work at home scams that you need to be aware of. I have fallen prey to quite of few of them myself. A perfect example is the stuffing the envelope scam. Imagine employers paying someone to do this…and wait there is a $35.00 sign up fee! Of course this is not legitimate. If you find one that is, please let me know, I’ll start right away.
Then there is home assembly jobs, maybe putting together doll furniture. You sign up, of course there is another fee for that, you get your materials, finish your project and send it in only to find out it wasn’t done to their satisfaction so they reject it. You did all that work and then didn’t get paid for it.
Oh and don’t forget the mystery shopping scam. Most of these people place ads that hit you up for anywhere from $19.95 to $49.95. For this you will be supplied with a list of places and companies that hire mystery shoppers. Most of them give you a list of department stores for your money.
Generally if it sounds too good to be true, it is. There are steps that you can take to protect yourself. If you’re considering a work at home job, call the Better Business Bureau and check them out. Call the Federal Trade Commission. Ask the employer for references. Never send money for a job. Do not respond to 800 & 900 numbers. Avoid companies that have P.O. Box.
There are legitimate work at home jobs available, you just have to do your research and trust your instincts.

Finding The Value Of Work At Home Opportunities
Cutting through the clutter to find the truth about a work at home business opportunity.
As you begin your search for the right work at home opportunity, you will see hundreds of offers from others telling you how they became rich and how you can too.
You are also wondering how to determine if these are legitimate moneymaking work at home opportunities. There are a few ways to do this. First, you need to learn to read between the lines of these sales pages to see if what you are looking at has any value to you, and more importantly, if it has any value to others that you will be promoting it to. In most cases, the page you are reading about a specific program will be the same thing you will be promoting if you join. This is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, if it works to get you to join, then there must be something of value to it.
Lets look a little closer at the offers the online experts are telling you about their specific work at home opportunity; you know the ones that are usually long on testimonials and short on details. Now, do not get me wrong, some of these are a great way to start a work at home business. In fact, I joined a few of these myself. It is just the fact that you have to read for a while to get to the point, if you even stay around that long. The best way to read these are to not really read them at first, but to scan the page looking for how much it is going to cost to join and what you get for the price. You are looking for a tangible object, something of value or a tool that can be used more than once. At this point, you really should not be buying just information. Remember, the internet is full of that for free. The next thing to judge is how you will use it to your advantage and if it will teach you the skills you need to further your work at home business. Another consideration is if it is something that you see as valuable, not only to yourself, but to others that you will most likely be marketing it to.
Before you sign up for any work at home opportunity, you may be interested in you should first sign up for a free newsletter or any subscription they offer. You will usually begin to get a series of e-mail from them with useful information pertaining to the subject you are interested in while persuading you to join. This is probably the same system that you will be involved in should you join the program and it will give you an idea of the quality of their marketing and how you may well be promoting your own work at home opportunity.

Internet Scams - Work At Home Scams
It makes no difference if you are thinking about starting a business, shopping or just looking for a new job online, you can protect yourself from some of the cleverest scams online if you just follow the simple steps below.
(1) You can always find out information on a company or person by doing a quick search online. Go to Goggle or Yahoo and type in the company or person name and then type in the word scam after. Follow all leads. If no leads show up, then that is a good thing. It means there are no complaints on them online.
(2) Check with the state's Attorney General's Office to see if the company or person have received a series of complaints.
(3) Check with the National Fraud Information Center at: www.fraud.org to see if the company or person is listed. They provide a lot of information about telephone, mail, and online scams.
(4) Make sure the company or person you plan to do business with have a phone number and physical address. Call the company or person to see if the phone number actually belongs to them.
(5) Always make sure that you get a guarantee. Ask the company what will happen if you want to return the product or what do you need to do if you want a refund.
(6) Be cautious of companies who ask for your bank account info, or ask permission to deposit money into your bank account.
(7) Try to use your credit card instead of cash if you buy a product or invest in a business opportunity. That way if you do get ripped off, it may be easier to dispute the charges with your credit card company.
(8) Never do business with anyone in the country of Nigeria. If you do, you are fair game. The Nigerian Government is in on most of the scams from that country. This is just too large a business for Nigeria to crack down on. It would be like Nevada trying to close the casinos in Las Vegas. There have been numerous reports of high-level officials of the Nigerian government and the Central Bank of Nigeria personally participating in some scams.
(9) Don't reply to bulk email. You don't won’t to do business with someone who likes to spam people. Why? If they are bold enough to spam you, then they are bold enough to ripping you off!
(10) Never buy a product or business opportunity with out getting a receipt or confirmation number. If you don't get one or the other, then it's your word against theirs. With out proof, you will loose every time.
(11) Use common sense! If it sound too good to be true! Guess what? It’s a scam!
Don't Become Their Next Victim.

Genuine Work At Home Opportunities So You Can Quit Your Day Job
There are a number of ways to make money online, but relatively few of these openings will pay you enough money so that you can quit your job and work from home full time. They allow you the flexibility to do what you want, when you want and still earn the same amount or even more money than you did at your old job.
Although, many may be skeptical about how one can make money online, there are a few options that one looking to work online can choose from.
Freelancing as a writer or programmer and designer can often earn one tens of thousands of dollars annually, especially if you are well trained and have the skills and the marketing "know how" so that you can constantly find clients.
Affiliate programs where you are paid to promote the products of many companies are also another great way to earn money online. Obviously, if you can create your own product and promote it, that would be the ideal situation as you would be able to keep all revenue that you earn rather than just 10% or 20% of the total sale value.
Still, the most popular way that those who work online are earning a stable income is through the creation of web sites and the sale of advertisement space and the use of programs such as Google AdSense or the Yahoo Publisher network.
CONTEXT FREELANCING
For those who have worked to hone their skills in writing or web site design and creation, freelancing is probably the best online job opportunity. It allows them to run all aspects of their business from finding clients, completing the work, and/or subcontracting the work. Although this may be more work than if you worked in a team with a group of people, as a solo freelancer, you keep all of the money you make, rather than splitting it among the members/employees of your company. There are a numbers of freelance opportunities available today.
Content Writing
If you love to write and have strong writing skills, you should seriously consider offering a content writing service where you provide articles for magazines and web sites to publish.
Forum Posting
Forum posting is also another option. It involves contacting the owner of a new forum and to see if they are willing to pay for posts to help get their forum off the ground and boost activity. The best way to get a steady job forum posting is to visit webmaster forums where many of these owners are often searching for posters.
Webmaster forums are also a great place to find content writing jobs, but there are many other web sites that offer an up to date list of the latest content writing opportunities and thus these sites should be utilized as well. A content writer or forum poster who puts the time required to be successful into working can earn up to six figures annually.
Article Submission Service
Article Submission and Directory Submission is also a way that many freelancers can earn some extra money on the side. It involves submitting a web site to numerous web directories or submitting an article to many article directories. The purpose of this service is to help webmasters gain links to their web site.
Link Building Service
Direct link building is a great way that those who either own a large network of web sites or know someone who does can earn thousands online. Link building requires one to obtain back links to their client's web sites on other 3rd part sites. Link builders are usually paid at a flat rate per link that they secure and payment can range from $2-$10 a link and beyond.
Web design and Programming
Finally, for those who are familiar with web site design and programming, freelancers in the web site creation industry can get paid anywhere from $500 to $10,000 and more for a project depending on the amount of work required. This is one of the most lucrative online opportunities available, but to be successful, you will need to get the proper training so that clients are satisfied with your work and you are hired to take on larger, better compensating projects.
AFFILIATE MARKETING
Affiliate programs are another very popular way to make money online. One can create a web site and put utilize space on their web site by advertising a certain product. The advertisement will be a link to an eStore where the product is being sold, and if an affiliate is able to drive a customer to the eStore, the owner of the eStore will pay the affiliate a certain percentage of the sale. Many major companies, such as eBay, Sears, Wal-Mart, and hundreds of others that sell products online have affiliate programs.
To sign up for one of these programs, you should visit and sign up with Click Bank and Commission Junction. These are the two web sites that most companies who have affiliate programs use to keep track of earnings, and to be able to participate in affiliate programs, you will have to be a member of one of these two web sites. Recently, many affiliates are using pay per click advertising program such as Google AdWords where they pay a certain amount of money for each visitor who clicks on the advertisement. The advertisement is an affiliate link so if the one clicks on the link makes a purchase, you can earn money through affiliate programs without even creating a web site.
RUNNING WEBSITES
Finally, we reach the most popular way of making money online, running web sites. The key to building a successful web site is coming up with a new fresh idea so that you will draw traffic.
Once you have got an idea, the first thing you need to do is secure hosting at a popular and reliable web host, such as GoDaddy or BlueHost. You can sign up for an account and pay for a certain hosting plan. The more you pay, the larger a web site you can create and the larger your bandwidth is. If you are unsure about all the technical aspects of running and hosting a web site, you should check with your web hosting provider what plan is best for you and your needs. Your host will also help you get a domain and transfer all files to get your site up and running.
Once you have a site live on the Internet and you are marketing it and drawing traffic, it is time to think about monetization. With a web site, you can either sell your own products that customers can purchase online or create a website for a service, such as the ones mentioned above. Those who may not have as much time, often opt to create a web site, get traffic, and use a program such as Google AdSense where they are paid each time a visitor clicks on an advertisement. Webmasters may also sell links to advertisers directly to earn more revenue from their web site.
There are a lot of great online opportunities available on the Internet, and if you are willing to put in the time and effort requires, you can make enough to quit your regular full time job and work from home online.

AFFILIATE MARKETING
Affiliate programs are another very popular way to make money online. One can create a web site and put utilize space on their web site by advertising a certain product. The advertisement will be a link to an eStore where the product is being sold, and if an affiliate is able to drive a customer to the eStore, the owner of the eStore will pay the affiliate a certain percentage of the sale. Many major companies, such as eBay, Sears, Wal-Mart, and hundreds of others that sell products online have affiliate programs.
To sign up for one of these programs, you should visit and sign up with Click Bank and Commission Junction. These are the two web sites that most companies who have affiliate programs use to keep track of earnings, and to be able to participate in affiliate programs, you will have to be a member of one of these two web sites. Recently, many affiliates are using pay per click advertising program such as Google AdWords where they pay a certain amount of money for each visitor who clicks on the advertisement. The advertisement is an affiliate link so if the one clicks on the link makes a purchase, you can earn money through affiliate programs without even creating a web site.
RUNNING WEBSITES
Finally, we reach the most popular way of making money online, running web sites. The key to building a successful web site is coming up with a new fresh idea so that you will draw traffic.
Once you have got an idea, the first thing you need to do is secure hosting at a popular and reliable web host, such as GoDaddy or BlueHost. You can sign up for an account and pay for a certain hosting plan. The more you pay, the larger a web site you can create and the larger your bandwidth is. If you are unsure about all the technical aspects of running and hosting a web site, you should check with your web hosting provider what plan is best for you and your needs. Your host will also help you get a domain and transfer all files to get your site up and running.
Once you have a site live on the Internet and you are marketing it and drawing traffic, it is time to think about monetization. With a web site, you can either sell your own products that customers can purchase online or create a website for a service, such as the ones mentioned above. Those who may not have as much time, often opt to create a web site, get traffic, and use a program such as Google AdSense where they are paid each time a visitor clicks on an advertisement. Webmasters may also sell links to advertisers directly to earn more revenue from their web site.
There are a lot of great online opportunities available on the Internet, and if you are willing to put in the time and effort requires, you can make enough to quit your regular full time job and work from home online.

Avoid Being Scammed With Work At Home Opportunities
by: Vijaya Kumar
Working at home is something that many people are interested in, but few actually attempt because of the fear that all of these opportunities online are scams. However, there are many legitimate ways to make money online and we are going to outline in this article how you can make money online and protect yourself from being scammed.
Working at home online is expanding rapidly as is the Internet. There are thousands of options for net entrepreneurs who make money through creating web sites, offering web services, or selling products online. The market has expanded rapidly over the past few years as the Internet has grown and there is something that everyone will be interested in and profit from.
What Are Scams
Unfortunately, there are a number of people on the Internet that are out to scam you and take your money without giving you any value or what they promised. This is a real threat that prevents many people from pursuing creating an online business but is one thing that you should not let bother you. The key is to be careful with whom you deal with online and to do your homework before you make a purchase. The key is to identify the scams before you spend any money.
How to Identify the Fraudsters
Identifying the scams is very easy. You just need to make sure you get a number of unbiased reviews on the company or individual you are dealing with. A great way to get this information is to search the web on the company you are looking to make a purchase from and check what other users are saying about them. Make sure you are getting these reviews from an unbiased 3rd party or your information will be incorrect which could lead you directly into a trap. Use Google or Yahoo! to get the information you need quickly and for free.
You should also be sure to check the latest reviews on forums as they are the best place to get multiple reviews quickly.
Identifying scams will only take you a few minutes and could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually. Pretty soon, you will be able to identify the scams and help others save their time and money.
Places to Report Scammers
When you do read about somebody getting scammed or get scammed yourself, get back at the company and protect others by reporting them. You can report them to the FTC, Federal Trade Commission, so that they can deal with the matter legally, but be sure to visit forums and other online communities with users who may be interested in the product that the scammers offer and are subject to their trap to warn them about the scam so that they can save their time and money. After all, others are doing the same thing for you so you might as well return the favor. Reporting the company to the BBB or Better Business Bureau is also a good option. Just be sure to let others know of your experience.
Getting Refund from Scammers
If you do get scammed by scammers, be sure to get your money back. One good thing about online payments is that you do not have to use cash to buy products, but rather, must go through a third party payment gateway such as PayPal or eGold among others. These systems are well aware of the scams and do everything in their power to get the money to its rightful owner. So, if you have been scammed by someone online, be sure to make every attempt to get your money back. Contact your payment gateway support team or credit card issuing bank, tell them about your situation and open a dispute. They will take the time to look into the matter to assure that the rightful owner is awarded the money that they lost.
Legitimate Ways to Find Genuine Work At Home Jobs
There are legitimate ways to make money online, just be sure that you do not fall into any sort of trap. Always deal with reputable companies over other unknown programs and be sure to be very careful in what your purchase and who you purchase it from. To avoid scams, put the time that is required to research the company you are dealing with and be sure to get multiple opinions from multiple unbiased sources so that you can be sure you are not getting scammed. Also, check the BBB, Better Business Bureau, records to get official information about the company you are dealing with. If you are dealing with an individual, be cautious and make sure that they have a good reputation as you will not be able to find many reviews or anything in the BBB or another official resource.
Last but not least - Do your homework and you will be fine in your online endeavors.

You Really Can Success Working At Home
Do you want to start a home-based business? Is it your dream to run your own show so that you never again have to listen to your boss? If this sounds like you, you are in a group of thousands of other people. It is safe to say that at some point in everyone’s life they dream of running their own business. The benefits and advantages of having a home-based business are many. If you are lucky enough to ever have this chance you should really revel in it. Remember, not everybody can be so lucky.
But you are probably asking yourself if you can really have success with a home business. The answer to this question is simple, yes. If you know what you are doing and take your time, you can have success running a home business. Unfortunately, it is not always as easy as it may seem. You are going to run into problems from the very beginning, and there are going to be times when you think about giving up.
The first thing that you need to do when setting up a home business is to make a decision on what you want to concentrate on. In other words, what is your business going to do? This is a question that can sometimes be hard to answer. The majority of people want to do something that they like, but at the same time they do not know how to get started. You need to remember that in order for your home business to be a success you have to like what you are doing. If you don’t like your home business idea, why move forward in the process? You will simply end up in the same situation that you are in with your current job.
There are a number of things you should look into to get your systems running. First stop would be the office space. You could not seriously run a home business if you don’t have the proper workplace where the children will not tinker with your equipments and your records. No office systems will ever survive if your kids will have access to everything that you are working on. Kids are very curious, they like to experiment, so unless you want your website corrupted, better find a secure place to work at home.
Also, a successful home business needs time to grow. You should never think that you are going to take off within a couple days of opening up shop. It is going to take you a bit of time to get your bearings and take off. For this reason, patience is very important to the success of your home business. With patience you will be able to wait out the rough times that are bound to show up time and time again. No home business starts making big time money in the first day. But if you take your time you will get to where you want to be.
Overall, you can have a lot of success with a home business. It may not be easy at first, but if all of these factors are met, one has a good chance of having a successful business. Then as time goes by you will become comfortable with what you are doing. Sooner or later you will be making profits on your own.

How to Land a Work at Home Job BEFORE You Start Looking
Everyone knows that you can find information on anything you’ve ever imagined on the Internet. Finding information on work at home opportunities is no exception. However, oddly enough, it’s the research you do offline before your work from home job search begins that makes all the difference in the world for your success factor.
- Decide on a Niche
If you have a niche, it will make your job search go a lot easier. A niche is simply a focus or specialty that you will specialize in. What are you naturally good at? Are you going to be a virtual assistant? If so, what field are you most qualified to participate in? The legal field? The Insurance industry?
Besides making your job search focused, and less scattered, having a niche also allows you to develop a resume and or a portfolio that sends the message that you are an expert in your field.
- Be Honest About Your Lifestyle
This will determine the job you choose. Are you a stay at home mom with kids in school during the day? Or are you a homeschool mom with kids at home all day? Are you a single person with no children? This will help decide if you can do phone work, assembly work, editing work, sales, etc. This will also help you assess how much time you really have to give to your work at home job.
- Create a Self Marketing Plan
For example, if you are a technical writer - or any type of freelance writer for that matter - it is imperative to have samples of your work.. In this day and age, it is a death wish to not have a website. Not that everyone has a website, but those who don’t miss out. There are many options now for low cost sites with easy to use templates if cost and web skills are an issue at this time. If a client can see what you do right a way, then it maximizes your potential success.
-Update Your Resume
Definitely dust off that resume. There is nothing like going to a work from home job site, seeing a fabulous posting, and you can’t apply for your dream job immediately because your resume is not ready. “Building” a competitive resume takes time. Once you discover your niche, create a resume and even a website emphasizing your skills. This way, when you begin your search you’re ready to apply, bid for jobs, etc.
- Do Some Real Soul Searching
Really go deep. What do you really want? What are you really good at? What are your true goals? What is that working from home really represents for you? Flexibility? Family time? Saving on gas, car, cleaning, etc.? A less stressful workplace? Write these down, and formulate a focus and mission. Paste this to your bathroom mirror, your computer or your refrigerator as a reminder of what your focus is and to not give up - even after you start gaining jobs to do at home. We aren’t always feeling “inspired.” This will help you remember why you’re doing what you are doing.
Following these suggestions will support you in having a tightly focused, well thought out, and productive job search. Much success!!
