Home business opportunities

First thing you need to know before starting your own business is you must do your research! There are many great home business opportunities out there; you need to be cautious in choosing a business that is right for you. Find one that suits you best one that you have interest in because you will need to spend a lot of time on that business, and most importantly, you will need to find a business that is legitimate.

There are countless numbers of home business offers over the Internet today and majority of them will require you to pay a fee to start. Most people will choose the lower fee to start their business and end up failing due to the lack of information given. An on line business is not as easy as many advertisements say it is. You will not get rich over night and that is the truth!
Here are some good examples of how people make money on line:

Become an affiliate
Become a hosting reseller
Sell products on lineBuy/Sell on line auctions
Get paid to take surveys, read emails, surf the web
Make money with adsense

Those are only a few examples of how you can make money on line. If you want to start a home business the best advice for you is to find a system that many on line entrepreneurs are currently using, a system that is proven to work, find out what made them become successful with their home business, what methods they use that makes them thousand of dollars a month by simply purchasing their system (remember nothing good is for free) if you are clueless about how to start your own home business you will definitely need a guide. Now follow step by step instruction that is given to you, read the information carefully and remember not to give up half way because if you do you will not succeed.Another good advice for you is focus on your business and stick to one until you see results, you will fail if you try to do too many at once.

Without a guide though one may be lost in choosing the right business opportunity, with many scams circling around the Internet these days one may end up spending their money buying information that is worthless to them and they are back where they started; still looking for that one right home business.

The best part about on line business is you have more free time to do the things you want to do and you can also easily access your business anywhere in the world using the power of the Internet.Now there are two types of business opportunity one is short term and the other is long term. For example taking on line survey is consider short term the more you take time to fill out a survey the more you earn, some survey companies pay you cash and some give out rewards and prizes.

There are many resources to take free surveys on line and yes you do get paid for your opinion! Watch out for scam survey sites that require you to pay a fee to join.Now if you are looking for a long term home business you should look into starting your own website. You could sell products or information with your own domain name or you can sign up with google adsense and write your own articles on a subject you like. You can also sign up with google adwords and start advertising as an affiliate. The opportunities are endless!

Remember with most home businesses it will take at least 1-3 months before you really start seeing results but in the end it will all pay off. It’s a great feeling once you start seeing great income with your home business that is of course you have worked to get there. Don’t believe in any get rich scheme you see out there, as I have said you will not get rich over night.
Best of luck to you on starting your own home business!

How to identify SCAM?

 Homeworking scams feed off our need to believe that there has to a better way of earning money. Some scams just promise a few extra quid whilst others promise riches and the millionaire lifestyle from stuffing envelopes, to some 'brainless' scheme involving email, to your very own shopping mall website. In a way, it is easier to be sucked into the smaller scam requiring only your £5 or £10 or £30 because you feel you have less to lose and hopefully much to gain.

 Scams involve a clever use of psychology. This is where the fun bit comes into it, but only if you are feeling strong enough to resist! When you see something promoting some unbelievable homeworking opportunity together with pictures of sunset beaches and promises of a 'residual income' or 'Earn £20,000 per month' or even just 'Earn a bit extra' then take a deep breath, make yourself a cup of tea and sit back and read what they have to say. Look at the language they use, the superfluous use of prose and the exclamation marks galore. See how the advert gradually draws you into feeling that this must be a great way to earn money. After a while you get a nose for these things and will see the same scams dressed up in different ways.

 The one thing these scams have in common is the fee you have to pay. It might be called an administration fee; it may be a refundable deposit for materials, or a registration fee or a fee for a directory. The fee may be required in the form of a cheque or it may be part of your making a premium rate telephone call. Now if you were to apply for a regular non-homeworking job through a classified ad would you expect to have to pay an adminstration fee? Of course not! Many homeworking scams involve piecework from painting cottages to assembling electronic components. You start off by paying an initial £15-20 to register and then you are asked to pay another £30-40 for the materials. You do the work as specified but it is then returned to you as being substandard work. In fact you are working with substandard materials (not worth the deposit you have paid) and even if you do exactly as asked they will just move the goal posts so that payment is never made. By this time you are more than £45 out of pocket, have wasted a lot of precious time and only a pile of rubbish to show for your money.

 The other well-known homeworking scam involves envelopes. Whether it is addressing or stuffing them both are scams designed to relieve you of money and if you are to make any money from this then you have operate the same scam! There is a lot more about the ins and outs of envelope scams on the Homeworking.com website.

 The Internet has produced a breed of sophisticated scams which at the expensive end involves shopping malls. You are told how the Internet is the place to make millions and to get on board now with your very own turn-key shopping mall which they will produce with your name on it. The bottom line is anything from £1,000 to £4,000 for the pleasure of a useless shopping mall site which no-one will visit and the only way to make some money back is by selling on the scam and getting other people to start their own shopping malls. The cheaper end of the Internet scams involves email chain letters the latest proclaiming, "Parents of 15 year old found $71,000 CASH hidden in his closet". Statistically, it is impossible to earn the amounts that are promised unless every man, woman and child on this planet are connected to the Internet and take part in the same scam!

Beware of Bogus / Scam offers

Although there are genuine jobs working at home, many are bogus. You should not have to pay to get work. Never send money in advance to people or companies who claim they can offer you work at home. These con tricks may start with an advert in a newspaper or a shop window, or on a local bus, or with a leaflet through your door.

Adverts about addressing and stuffing envelopes:

these are generally followed by a demand for a registration fee. All you get for your money is advice to place adverts like the one you saw. There is no real job. Just a scam to con you out of the registration fee.

Adverts asking for money for home assembly kits: these scams promise pay for making up the goods or your money back.You won't get your money back.You will be told that the goods are not up to standard or given some other excuse.You will not get paid.The people behind the scheme never intended to pay you from the start.

So beware of scams out there, it could be the ads that promote the road to your financial freedom!!

A normal question you may ask before joining Adsense

FAQ for Adsense Beginner

My CTR has dropped a bunch over the past one/two/thee hours/days. Is anybody else seeing this?

Yes, but they are seeing small statistical fluctuations just like you are. With a program as large as Adsense that shows ads as targeted as they are for specific sites, there are always going to be fluctuations. If every person who posted that something was up with Adsense just because of a daily fluctuation in their stats is correct, Adsense had dropped their CTR and payouts dozens of times in the past two months.

Has Google changed the revenue sharing? My revenue/CPC has dropped dramatically over the past one/two/thee hours/days.

See the above answer. I’ve noticed that when one ‘big fish’ ups their advertising budget you can see a big fluctuation in CPCs.

I want to make the ads show up in a new window so the visitors don’t leave my site. How can I do this?

You can’t. If you want somebody to pay you for that type of advertising, please find another source. Adsense advertisers are paying for clicks to their site. If you accept their money by participating in the program you are accepting the fact that you are sending your visitors to their site. That is what they are paying you for.

How can I induce clicks? Can I put something like “Please support our sponsors” above/below the Adsense ads?

No, it’s is against the Adsense TOS. Numerous users have asked Google this exact question and judging from the response, it’s not something that is up for interpretation in any way, shape, or form. Do not induce clicks on your Adsense ads.

If you are looking for somebody to sponsor your site, please do so elsewhere. Adsense advertisers aren’t sponsoring your site, they are paying for targeted visitors to their site. If you want your users to help sponsor your site, place a donation button on your site and have them pay you, not advertisers who are paying $1.00/click for visitors interested in widgets.

When will my check arrive?

I’m not sure which day of the week your check is going to arrive but it’s about one to two months earlier than any other advertising network I have ever seen.

Is there going to be a competitor to Adsense any time soon?

It has been reported by numerous sources that Overture is planning to roll out a similar product later this fall.

Faulty click on your blogs' adsense link

Last week, I brought my laptop along to a meeting with a group of people. So, while we were hanging around, I passed my laptop to another person. She was surfing my multiple blogs and clicking on the links.

Meanwhile, I was chatting with the others. Then, something occured to me. I cut my conversation, rushed to the person using my laptop and told her, ‘WHAT EVER YOU DO, DON’T EVER CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS YOU SEE THAT HAS ‘Ads by Google’!”

Huh? Why not?

Because these are advertisements inserted by Google Adsense and if you clicked on those links, then, I am dead!

Really?

Yes, it is that scary. So, you need to be careful that you don’t accidentally use any of those links.

Oh well, that got her paranoid and she stopped surfing my sites altogether.

So folks, remember to make sure that everyone using your PC knows this rule. I have forbidden my nephew from touching my sites altogether. They know how grave the situation is if they should touch those links. Touch it and my income dies.

Having said that, once I got a faulty mouse that clicks on its own. The pointer has gone haywire and once, it led me to a Google Adsense advertiser’s site. I immediately wrote to Google, explained the situation and give them the link that I (or rather my screwed up mouse) had accidentally clicked. They let me off with a warning with the usual TOS - bla-bla-bla you must not click on your ads so-on and so-on.

Moral of the story : Always play clean and nice if you want to make a living online. Doing dirty tricks will not last you long and moreover, do you feel good getting money from cheating?

Earn By Surfing the Net-AGLOCO

You might already know that almost everything you do on the Internet makes money for someone else! And that’s not just when you spend money. Just about every time you view an ad, click an ad, search, buy something, download something, join a community, or post a story, picture, or video, some person or company is making a profit, commission, or sale from your activity. That doesn't seem fair that others are profiting from your efforts. AGLOCO, which stands for A GLObal COmmunity will get those profits into your hands instead of middlemen making money on your efforts.

How it works
If you want to join as a Member, you download a piece of software called the Viewbar. It’s like a toolbar that sits at the bottom of your desktop. Essentially, it collects on some of the revenue you would usually generate for other people while you conduct your everyday browsing. Then, it returns most of this money to you. The toolbar is scheduled to be released in March, but it is a good idea to join now and start building your referral network. The more referrals you have, the more earning power you have right from the beginning of the program.

Why it works
Why does this work? Well, you win because you now get your share of the money for doing what you would normally do. AGLOCO wins by keeping a 10% cut of this revenue. The companies win because they get your business, or at least get more of their ads seen. All you need to do is have the small Viewbar up on your screen while browsing the Internet like normal. Some of you may be thinking this is a scam already, but I can assure you it is not. AGLOCO was started by the same group of people who ran AllAdvantage.com. All Advantage was the first paid to surf site, and it was very succesful. They paid out over $120 million over 2 years and had a huge member base. Unfortunately, their pay structure had some flaws and they ended up going down with the dot com crash. They have learned from their mistakes and now they are back to try again.

How to maximize your earnings
One word - referrals. I currently have 75 direct referrals and 6 indirect referrals, and I have been a member for 10 days. Each referral greatly increases your earning power. It is hard to tell exactly how much each referral will increase your income right now because the site has a bit of a complicated structure. Every hour that you have their viewbar open earns you some sort of points. Instead of these points being directly tradable for cash at a given rate, they seem to be a sort of "stock" in AGLOCO. These points can be traded in for money, but it all depends on the member base and the number of hours. So basically, the more members agloco has and the more active everyone is, the more money everyone makes. So by getting referrals, you are increasing your earnings in two ways. You make a percentage of what they make, but you are also helping build the AGLOCO community, which makes more money for everyone.

The 5 Most Important Things You Must Know About AdSense

I stumble upon this article about tips on what you must know before indulging yourself in Adsense.

By Joel Comm
Whether you're just starting out with AdSense or whether you've been using it for years, the success of your ads will depend on knowing five absolutely essential pieces of information about AdSense:

1. AdSense Can Make You A Huge Heap Of Cash Lots of people make the mistake of believing that AdSense is only good for bringing a site a few extra pennies a month. Wrong! AdSense can fund your lifestyle - if you get it right.

2. Junk Sites Get Junk Income But just because it's possible for a site to make a lot of money with AdSense, it doesn't mean that any site can make a lot of money with AdSense. Your site must have good content that can attract users on its own merit. There are a lot of different strategies available for producing good content for your site. You'll need to use them if you want to create the sort of site that makes real money.

3. Your Choice Of Ads Matter One of the first things that you'll have to do when you join AdSense is to pick the types of ads you want to display. Success relies on following certain principles that encourage users to click and persuades them that they've got a reason to do so. You'll need to know those principles.

4. You Can Influence The Ads You Receive! Here's a little known AdSense secret: you do have some control over the ads that get served on your site. That control isn't unlimited - but it is worth exercising. It's also a little complicated but it's got a lot do with keyword hotspots located in each Web page. (I explain it all in my book, Google AdSense Secrets.) That's definitely something you need to know!

5. Your Stats Are Your Best Friend The stats you get with your AdSense account might look complicated and well, a bit dull... but they're packed with useful information that can have a massive effect on your revenues. To make real money with AdSense, you need to know what your stats are telling, what they're not telling you and where you can find out more.

There's a lot you need to know to make serious money with AdSense. If you're missing that information, you're just throwing money away.

Joel Comm is Dr. AdSense, an Internet entrepreneur who has been online for more than 20 years. Joel is co-creator of ClassicGames.com, now known as Yahoo! Games and is the author of the web's best-selling AdSense ebook, "Google AdSense Secrets (Or What Google Never Told You About Making Money

How you can earn money with Adsense?

From Adwords to AdSense

Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. All this is managed through a program they call Adwords.

Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from Adwords by placing these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise and they pay you a percentage of what they earn.

This program is called AdSense. You can log on to www.google.com/adsense to sign up or to find out more information.

Every website owner should be involved in this. It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Even if your site is just for information purposes, you can still participate and make decent money with AdSense -- or at least enough to fund your website.

So if you are one of those people that don't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an excellent way to earn your money back and then some.

Even if you earned as little as $10 in a month, it would more than likely cover some or all of the costs for your web site. Perhaps you are simply looking for ways to add additional revenue to your website, then it's perfect for that situation too.

This program is getting so popular, people are creating websites just to display the ads and profit from Google's AdSense alone.

I don't usually like to use the term "easy money" because there really is no such thing. You still have to create your own website and learn how to bring in traffic in order to make good money with this program.

I certainly don't want to make it sound like you get something for doing absolutely nothing. There's no such thing.

However, I've got to say that AdSense is probably the closest you'll ever come to fast money on the Internet -- especially if you already have a website that gets a good amount of traffic.

What's even better...the program is completely free. You can also use it on multiple websites and there is no limit to the amount you can earn.

How AdSense Works?

If you go to Google.com and do a search for almost any keyword phrase, you'll notice some "Sponsored Links" that appear on the right side of the screen that are relevant to the keywords you just searched for.

Website owners pay Google to display these ads and are charged a predetermined amount every time their ad gets clicked by a web surfer. With the AdSense program, you will display these same text ads on your site just like Google and get paid for it as well.

All you do is copy and paste some provided HTML code into your pages and Voila! the ads will show up. Every time an ad is clicked on your site, you will receive a certain percentage of what Google receives from the advertiser.

Once your account reaches $100, you'll receive a check in the mail.

"Is Google Crazy?"

I know what you're probably thinking...

"What's the catch here? Why would Google just give away money advertisers are paying them?"

The answer...

Because Google is very smart.

Now that I understand how AdSense works, I can see that it's a win-win situation for everyone involved, and the bottom line benefits Google. Let me explain...

Since the advertiser's ads are now being displayed on more web sites all over the internet (instead of just Google's site), they are getting much more exposure. More exposure means more clicks and even more traffic for their site over a shorter period of time.

This is good news for Google because the more traffic the advertisers receive, the faster their advertising funds are used up.

Remember, they get charged every time their site gets a visit; and of course, it is Google's hope that they'll continue to keep funneling more money into their account for more ad exposure.

What an ingenious way for Google to increase the amount of money they earn from advertisers while building loyalty with website owners (like us) who are now getting paid to help them advertise.

Of course, I'd expect nothing less from the most popular search engine on the web.

What is AdSense?

AdSense is Google's program for placing its AdWords ads on non-Google websites such as this one.

AdSense lets website owners like you and me make money easily and fast without even selling anything. In fact you can often start earning in under 24 hours and when you get paid, it is Google that sends you a check!

AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-impressions basis. Google is also currently beta-testing a cost-per-action based service.

Google utilizes its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.
