Managed In-House Affiliate Program

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 08:43:00 +0000

As the name imply, Affiliate Programs that are Managed In-House are those that are being managed by the Merchant themselves. They recruit their own affiliates, they communicate with them directly and they pay their affiliates commission for the sales they make.

The advantages of In-House Affiliate Program includes:-
1. the commission generally are higher because they do not need to pay any other party such as Affiliate Networks.
2. they are not bound by Affiliate Networks regulations, so they can be more flexible to hear your suggestions

The disadvantages includes:-
1. although the are many excellent In-House Affiliate Program, they are also those that are not really honest and do not pay you for the sale you might for them. You never know about it until its time they suppose to pay you.
2. take some time to reach a certain payment release level. Unlike Affiliate Networks where many merchants do opt for integrated payment managed by the Affiliate Networks and the release level can be achieve much more easily since they are combined with your sales from other merchants from the same Affiliate Network.

So there are advantages and disadvantages of promoting In-House Affiliate Program.

But generally, the good ones can be found quite easily just by searching about them with Google. If there are bad things about the company, normally you can find it in the search results.

Another good place to find good In-House Affiliate Program is Abestweb. You can learn a lot about really good merchants who take care of their affiliates there.

Earn Income From Affiliate Program

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:09:00 +0000

Affiliate Program is another good way to earn legitimate income on the internet. Ever since Amazon.com first introduced its affiliate program to online marketing more than 10 years ago, thousands of companies had also created their own programs to recruit affiliate marketers to promote their products.

Some had used affiliate program as a very successful marketing channel for their businesses. While many others had not been able to gain much from marketing via their affiliates. Some of the reason are because they do not communicate well with their affiliates and they do not really provide marketing materials for their affiliates such as details information of products, articles, coupon and discounts for their affiliates to promote.

Now you know that it is not really easy to earn money by being an affiliate marketer. You need to choose the right merchants who communicate well with their affiliates and provide marketing materials and great information for their affiliates to use.

There are 2 types of affiliate program.
1) Manage In-House
2) Manage by Affiliate Networks.

Both have their own advantage and disadvantages. I will discuss more about it next time. For now I would like to mention about one the best affiliate program that I have ever joined since I started Online Marketing back in 2002. It is Sitesell.com Affiliate Program.

It is from the company that I place the video above. In fact Ken Evoy, the owner of Sitesell.com had written a very detail Affiliate Marketing Manual called Affiliate Masters Course. You can download it for free from the link. Eventhough it is free, it provide much more complete and detail information than some of the paid ebook on affiliate marketing out there.

My suggestion is that you download it and start reading it. Then apply it as soon as you can. Till next time, have a productive day ahead!

Earn Income From Legitimate Online Banners Advertising

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Tue, 29 May 2007 10:47:00 +0000

Online Banners Advertising has been around since the early days of the internet. It has primarily been used for branding purposes. Thousands and thousands of companies were involved in banner advertising on the internet over the years. Whether as Banner Advertising Service Providers and Brokers, Advertisers or Publishers.

Merchants Affiliate Program also make use on online banner advertisings through their armies of affiliates. Although direct sales conversion from online banners marketing have always remained considerably low, its effectiveness as a brand building and brand recognition tool have never been dispute.

Recently I had tried a rather new Online Banners Advertising program based in the UK. Its called Bucks4banners. Many Banner Advertising Service Providers companies prefer to offer per thousands impression program for small time publishers. By small time publishers, I mean legitimate website owners but with relatively low traffic volume compared to high traffic sites like CNN, Amazon or Slashdot and alike. So the chances of getting paid every month is very slim for most website owners.

But for Bucks4banners, it offers a flat rate of 5 British Pounds per site as long as you are willing to place their clients banners on 3 of your sites pages. So I consider this to be a rather good deal especially for those of us who have quite a number of websites but have low volume of traffics. You have the chance of getting paid 5 Pound for every site you own every single month just by placing 3 banners on each site.

So if you are looking for a good way to earn extra income every single month to complement your Adsense and Affiliate Marketing income, I would recommend that you join Bucks4banners Banner Advertising Program. The more site you have the better. At the moment, they do offer additional 10 Pounds joining or welcoming bonus. They pay via Paypal or Amazon Vouchers. And they also provide 10 Pounds referral commission for each new publisher you successful referred to join them.

Here's the link once again to join Bucks4banners.net.

Till next time, have a productive day ahead.

Adsense In A Box

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 06:32:00 +0000

After the downfall of the Software Generated Adsense Sites that builds thousands and thousands of "crappy web pages" within a few minutes, there have been a shift to generic ready made Adsense sites called Adsense In A Box sold in "limited quantities" every month. The limited quantity sold is somewhere between hundreds to thousands units per site.

So everybody who bought the Adsense In A Box packsge have a ready made site that can just be uploaded to a registered Domain Name and we have ourselves a live site. The problem is, so does thousands of other people who bought the package. And yes these generic Out Of Box sites didn't work very well either in terms of getting traffic, clicks and Adsense income for the site owners.

Seeing the dismal results, some people start selling those sites that they own at Ebay for another couple of buck. Bottom line, Out Of Box Made For Adsense in mind sites that are sold almost in unlimited quantities won't generate us much Adsense income unless we personaly customize them from the beginning.

The articles should be tweak and re-write to make them different with added information of value. But many find it quite difficult to re-write an existing article than to write a completely new one.

So why not start a new site from zero in a niche that we are more comfortable with. It will be much more rewarding in the long run.

However if you can tweak and re-write these articles with added value, you can make full use of it for your sites as well. This of course only if you have the private label right to those Out Of Box articles.

Quality Contents, Honesty and Consistent Effort

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 01:54:00 +0000

You would most probably are aware by now that, any legitimate way to earn a decent income online require some effort. The more consistent our efforts, the more rewarding they can be.

The best bet for most of us is to sell or promote something and write a lot about that niche. Only with good quality contents can we expect to receive natural traffic from the search engines. Spam your way to "artificial content" can produce some result especially if the techniques are still new. But they will never last. The stream of natural traffic from the search engines will stop any day now, once you start installing those automated unlimited content producing software.

If you do not want to have rich content site, then you need to buy those traffics such as thru Pay-Per-Click Search Engines like Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, MIVA, Enhance and 7Search just to name a few.

Many people talk about how easy it is to get traffic by doing "Joint Venture" with other sites that are more popular. The problem is, regardless of how good the person is, he would do a disservice to his site visitors by sending them to our site if our site do not have much helpful information to them except for some affiliate links and colorful banners all over the site. But what if you do have really useful information on specific niche on your site. You would be surprised by how many good people (who really "got it") would more than willing to recommend your site to their site's visitors once they know about your site's content can really benefit their site's visitors.

But how are we going to consistently produce quality content if we do not really love the niche or the industry we are in. That's why it is very important that we choose a niche that we really like. Something we are passionate about. Something we know a lot about. You might say "Well I like to talk about this and this, and I would like to choose this as my niche, but I have read other people's blogs and websites within this niche. Phew, they do really know about their stuffs. Compare to them, I'm nothing".

Here's the fact. Almost every niche, there's already an "Authority" in it. And yes almost every sub-niche within a niche, there's already an "Authority" in it. And yes even many sub-niche within a sub-niche within a niche, there's already an "Authority" in it.

But the truth is people like to hear real honest point of view from a real person. Even if there's several "Authorities" within your niche already, people will still look for second opinion or another honest opinion. That's why honest, helpful writing always have a place in the heart of many. There will never be too many frank opinion. And they'll come back again and again for more if you continue sharing your views. This is where trust and relationship are built. Many people use email marketing to share their views with their followers or like-minded individuals. Others just use their blogs and websites.

The real secret is focus, full commitment and consistency. If we jump from one niche to another every month, we will never see any significant result. Think of our knowledge sharing as an investment. The more useful information we share, the more "investment" we make. If we have Adsense ads or promoting other people's products on it thru Affilite Program, the return on investment can be seen from there over time.

Another important point to note - never write to sell. If you really like a product, write objective review about it. If you have never use the product but you know the kind of quality the brand name produce from using another product from them, just say so. You'll be amazed by how your honesty or dishonesty will show in your writings. Trust me, people know it.

If you are stuck with ideas to write about, of course we can always have other people's articles on your blogs or sites. Then you can add your own opinions on them. Just make sure you give full credit to the original authors. We can also refer our site's visitors directly to the original author's article. We just write our comment or opinion on our site.

I hope you can try out from this few suggestions on how to have good contents on your blogs or sites. Till next time, have a nice day.

Back To Adsense!

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 02:57:00 +0000

Earlier we had talked about credit ratings problem face by many of us who seems not to be able to get out of this problem and myself included - although I am slowly moving out of this "hole". Yes, it does affect many of us. As long as it is in a manageable level don't let bad debt and credit rating issues dampen your continuous effort of building a legitimate income. I hope to discuss more on this issues pretty soon.

And today let us discuss Adsense once again as a very good way to earn income. Yes Adsense can in the long run provide us with passive income. For example Darren Rowse and Steve Pavlina and many others all had achieved tremendous success with Adsense Advertising Program. Even if we cannot achieve their level of success, the real opportunity in Adsense income is still very much wide open for everyone. The question is how serious and committed are we to try out this program.

Adsense income is a number's game. The more traffic we have to our sites and blogs, the higher are the pageviews and chances of getting clicks from the Adsense ads. And we need targeted traffic. Of course to get targeted traffic, we need to put up something of value to the target visitors to our site.

The software generated Adsense Sites or MFA sites days that generate thousands and thousands of crappy pages are long gone. It might surprise you to know the facts that many people who are earning $5000 to $50000 or more per month from Adsense, nowadays received less than $300 per month in their account from the same websites that they had built using these automated page generators for the last 2 1/2 years. The effects on their earnings can clearly be seen from the end of July 2006 where Google has finally been able to "paralyze" the MFA sites income from their system.

I'll discuss more on how to stay focus and building natural site that generate traffic naturally next time. Till then have a productive day ahead!

How To Rebuild Your Credit Ratings Without Getting Scammed

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 19:16:00 +0000

There are basically no shortcuts to building a good credit rating. It will take time and a lot of effort on your part to make it a reality. If you are in trouble financially, try to stay away from companies that tell you that they can give you an entirely new credit identity, or remove bad marks from your credit report. Chances are, they are scams.

Here are some some guidelines to help you in the process of getting good credit rating without falling victim to one of these questionable credit repair companies.

1. Be aware of any company that tells you they can remove true marks from your credit report. Generally, a credit repair scam that tells that it’s possible will try to bombard the credit reporting agencies with inquires and hope that they won’t respond in the given time-period. Or will simply take off the remarks to stop the incoming letters.

The truth is even if the scam operation does manage to get a few bad remarks removed from your credit report, they can always be added on again should the lender prove that the bad marks were true.

2. Run as fast as you can from any company that offers to get you a new credit identity! Not doing so could land you in jail! Why? Because their mode of operation is to get you to apply for a tax identification number, which has the same amount of digits as your social security number, and then use it whenever applying for credit.

The number will come up “clean,” and you won’t have to pay the consequences for your past bad marks. Now, here’s the downfall. Lying to the federal government about your intended uses for a federal ID number is a federal offense—and guess who will take the rap? That’s right—you—the person who actually filled out the forms “under penalty of law.”

3. Another sure sign that a company is operating a scam, and not a true credit repair company, is if they try and pressure you into signing a contract with them. They will likely want large, upfront fees and will tell you that the offer expires today, or use some other high pressure tactic.

A company that is truly concerned about helping you to repair your credit will never pressure you or try and trick you into signing a contract with them. In addition, they will make it clear to you, that if you do change your mind within three days of signing, it’s the law that you will be release from any obligation.

4. You should accept that fact that no one can “repair” you credit if you’ve truly made some errors in the past. The only way to build a good credit report is to pay your bills on time, not extend your credit limits, and be careful not to apply for too many credit lines.

Do all of these things on your own and you’ll soon find yourself with a great credit report!

Google Adsense As A Legitimate Way To Earn Some Income

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 17:55:00 +0000

Google Adsense Online Advertising Program is one of best way to earn some extra income at least for many of newbies. If you are seriously thinking about legitimate ways to earn decent income then you should not discount Google Adsense.

From big corporations to individual blog owners like you and me are joining the program. In a way we are "partnering" with one of the world most promising Online based corporation - Google, Inc . If you are still new to this adsense thing, here's a link to Google Adsense guide.

How the program works is quite simple. You apply for an adsense account. Once approve, you just login into your adsense account control panel, follow the step given and make yourself the adsense script and paste it into your webpages.

Google would place contextual ads automatically on this places where you paste their script. When people visit your sites or blogs, read the articles and then see related or targeted ads to what they are looking for, certain percentage of them would click on these ad links to go to the merchants' sites. And Google will share certain percentage of these ads revenue with you the publisher.

So, in general the process is rather straight forward. But bare in mind it's not easy to earn a decent income from it. Of course you could buy yourself those monster crappy site generators to crank out sites after sites within minutes. And there's a name for these kind of sites - MFA or "Made For Adsense" sites.

Typically it's nothing much other than a bunch of links to other sites that are nicely mixed together with the adsense ads. But Google and the other search engines are getting smarter to detect these MFAs. According to them, they want to show "Good and Relevant Search Results" to the searchers. And in their opinions MFAs are crappy site with nothing much of value to the searchers. So they want to get rid of them from their search results.

In the early days - 2003 and first half of 2004, this MFA sites are really producing huge amount of money to the owners. But once the search engines able to detect and ban these sites from showing in their results, it became less effective. But some of these MFA sites are still working well for the owners especially those sites that were customized by the owners and left very minimal footprints for the search engines to detect them.

For the average folks out there though (who have limited "skills" to customize their sites) , the MFA sites are generally not a good investment anymore.

So what works now to make a decent living with adsense? Pick a niche, then choose a sub-niche. Then choose various topics within the sub-niche. Build sites for each of the topics chosen within the sub-niche.

In other words, dominate the sub-niche with multiple sites - all sorts of related to one another. In a way, its just like any other businesses. You'd be the authority or expert in a specific areas of a sub-niche. That should be our best bet to survive the adsense arena.

But bare in mind as well that this requires commitment from us. By commitment I mean, we need to produce good quality content for our niche sites. We also need to continuously promote our site online. The secret is dicipline and consistency. If we can continue producing quality contents for our sites and promote them, in the long run we would begin to see decent passive income from Adsense Online Advertising Program. My advice is make sure you try out this program.

Pyramid Scheme and Chain Letters

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 11:19:00 +0000

Pyramid Scheme and the infamous Chain Letters are among the most popular money making opportunity of all time. They attract thousands of people who are looking for ways to make money fast or easy way to make money. Many countries throughout the world at one time or another get hit with Chain Letters Pyramid Scheme that spreads like wildfire involving people from all walks of life.

Here's how it works. You receive the Chain Letter normally with very convincing copywriting that tell you clearly that you too can benefit from this once in a lifetime Business Opportunity. With very minimal investment on your part (normally between $1 to $5) it tells you here is your best chance to become rich. The most common form of Chain Letter involve a list of 6 persons.

You are supposed to send your investment to the first name on the list and remove it from the list. Move the other 5 names up one spot and insert you name in the sixth or final spot. In the traditional way you need to send the money to the physical address attached with the names.

Now, online payment method is the preferred way of receiving money via Chain Letters Pyramid Scheme. Major payment system providers such as Paypal as well as many other smaller payment systems are being used openly to make payments. Paypal for example try to control these unhealthy transaction from its system, but as usual, these kind of people are Masters at what they do.

In the offline world one need to mail as many Chain Letter as possible or place the copy at several strategic places so that more people are exposed to the Letter and hopefully increase the chances of naive people sending in the money. Online, the free methods such as email spamming and message boards spamming are the favorite methods of ads exposure.

Normally, there are no products involved in Chain Letters Pyramid Scheme. But people are getting better at creatively varying the system so as to legalized their version of Pyramid Scheme. Many now include "products" with the system. So when you send your money, you will receive the "products" whether via physical mail or email. The products more often than not are the recycled information of how to advertise the ads and increase the exposure to your ads.

Some online scammers are also using the the pyramid system to market their "products". This certainly added to the bad reputations Online MLM system already known for.

High Yield Investment Programs (HYIPs)

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 13:43:00 +0000

High Yield Investment Opportunities are investment schemes that promise you very high returns from your investments. The payments are given to you based on specified percentage of returns and payment intervals.

The percentage of returns can be somewhere from 1 percent to 700 percent or even more. Payment schedule range from daily, weekly, monthly or annually. Payments are made via Digital Gold Currency system such as E-Gold, GoldMoney, E-Bullion, Pecunix etc. They also use major money transfer service providers such as Paypal and Stormpay.

In some schemes you are even provided with a debit card where you can withdraw the money from local ATM machines. Of course this is the gimmick to increase your confidence in their systems, so that you will invest even more money.

Here's a long list of High Yield Investment Opportunities:-

Best Paying HYIPs. High Yield Low Investment. See For Yourself!
High Yield Certificate Of Deposit. Established Online Investment Firm!
Best Investment Company. Low Risk High Return Investments!
High Risk Investment Companies. HYIP Investment. Double Your Money In 60 Days!
How To Invest Online. HYIPs Using E-Bullion. High Yeilding Investments!
Offshore Club HYIP. High Profit Bussiness. Guaranteed!
Invest Your Money in High Interest System. Best High Yield Investments Plan Ever!
HYIPS That Pay Well For Your Future. High Risk Investment Funds. Join Us Today!
High Yield Investment Opportunities From High Risk Investment Companies. No Pain No Gain!
Low Risk High Yield Investment. Your Future Start Today!
Safe High Yield Investments. High And Low Risk Investments Available. Join Now!

Also known as High Yield Investment Profits, HYIP programs claim to invest in forex trading, real estates, Over-The-Counter Securities (OTC), Offshore Banks, Third World Countries mega infrastructure projects, sports, leisure and gaming activities and many other investment programs that supposely produced extremely high return on investment.

They also claim to purchase "Prime Banks" bank security such as bank guarantees, notes, or debentures that yield also very high returns. However, in reality, no such market exists. Some even claim to have secured special ties with major Hedge Funds and Investment Houses.

The truth is, almost all HYIPs are Ponzi Scheme. Named after the system's inventor, Charles "Carlo" Ponzi in early 1920's, Ponzi Scheme basically uses new investors money to provide returns to previous investors. The scheme collapses when money owed to previous investors is greater than the money that can be raised from new ones.

People who join-in HYIP programs early normally do get some "returns" as well as "commissions" from recruitng new investors into the programs. But once the HYIP Investment Program Providers have secured enough amount of money for themselves and reach the point where they cannot pay older investors, they close the programs leaving everybody in the dark.

So if you feel really tempted to join any of the High Yield Investment Opportunities Program, I suggest that you think twice. "What goes around, comes around". That's just how the world works. Let say that we are one of the early birds and we do make some money out of our "investment". If we do not feel guilty that we are actually taking other people's money, just wait for our turn in life. We will loose something back in one form or another to others.

Furthermore, we are helping the High Yield Investment Profit's Owners (whom by the way, are Masters at creating another version of the program after closing one) get richer and richer conning others. And yes, their time will come too. No need to worry about that.

Some do have telephone numbers (although mostly don't), but they do not belong to this imaginery companies.

Online Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a creative and interesting Marketing System powered by a complex automated compensation plans that are not meant to be figured out by anybody except the program owners. Other names for it might includes Downline Club, Matrix System, Forced Matrix and many more.

The key here is Leverage. If you want to be successful with Online Multi-Level Marketing, then you have to be the "Program Owner". Here are the things that one need to do to be "Wildly Successful with Online MLM":-

Ask someone capable to create you a system or improvise an existing Compensation Plan of other programs.
Then create a really persuasive copywritings that explain vaguely about how the system works and yet boldly describe the potential earnings they WILL get in 6 months time if they join-in today. Yes, Today. Right Now. Right This Very Minute.
Describe how you have perfected the systems after years of extensive research and development, and personal sacrifices. All works have been done for them. It is failure proof. And all of these for the benefit of the prospects, if they join-in today, that is.
Show them all the figures they should be getting pretty soon that make it impossible for them not join in now. It doesn't really matter what the product is that you want to sell. Because you are not really selling the product. You are selling a Perfected System. An insanely rewarding Compensation Plan that nobody can afford to refuse.
After you have put in place your website, start promoting it all over the internet. The ads should focus on recruiting Leaders to join in as soon as possible at this Pre-Launching Period. "Best Paying Network Marketing Company. Secure Your Position Now. Join Us Today". Also mention boldly the Big Launching Date about six months later. Advertise everywhere you possibly can at this early stage. This is your 80 percent work from the 80/20 rule.
Then watch your system grows, leveraged and powered by internet technology and human beings - rich wannabees.
Then every week, set personalized autoresponder message to each of them saying that they are doing great. They should give themselves a pad on the back. Don't slow down. Just continue their existing efforts and if possible double the efforts. Continue their recruitment quest and building their downlines. Success is very much in sight now. Continue praising their efforts with the power of autoresponder.
If you properly do this essential steps, six months from now you should have thousands and thousands of recruits in your system.
On launching day, make an important announcement that everyone must upgrade by paying X amount of dollars, in order for them to reap the benefits of their hard work of recruitments. If they fail to upgrade as soon as possible, they will loose their downlines and these downlines of theirs might become their uplines if they upgrade earlier. Make sure you have purchase enough "Bandwidth" and your payment system is properly in place to support huge quantity of payments during this period.
Watch your money grow until the day you close down the website and quietly dissapear from the WWW without a trace. Of course, you have to think of your own "Exit Plan" as each one should be unique.

So, if you feel somewhat guilty even thinking about this, then my advise is to stay away from the so called Online Multi-Level Marketing at all cost.

Now, I'm sure there are legitimate Online MLM companies out there. And I'm not talking about them. I'm just refering to the almost perfect Online MLM systems from people who had either been charged for frauds or those that had fled the seen without trace.

Government Bodies and Authorities have been trying for years to educate the general publics about these bogus individuals that preyed on naive and innocent victims who are honestly trying to find decent ways to earn some form of extra income. Sadly, many are "easily blinded" by the nice rounded figures that actually are impossible to achieve.

Work From Home Data Entry Job

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 15:09:00 +0000

Work at home data entry job is a very close cousin to Home Typists jobs. The different is that they are targeting mostly all unskilled individuals with the ads that mentioned phrases like "No Experience Needed!" or "Entry Level". Because of the broader target market, Work From Home Data Entry Job schemes are able to attract people from various segments of the population. Here are some of the common ads headlines:-

No Fee Work At Home Data Entry. No Expereince Needed. Join Now!
Dataentry Help Needed! Earn High Paying Income Part Time!
Data Entry Telecommute. All Over North America!
Free Data Entry Job Work. Now Hiring!
Data Entry Keyer Jobs. Entry Level Positions Available Worldwide!
No Fee Data Entry Work At Home Jobs. Hurry, Opportunity Won't Last Long!
Data Entry Clerk Job Openings. Apply Now For Immediate Approval!

Just like Online Market Survey Program, "No Fee Work At Home Data Entry" program promised no payment from you to join their highly experience and reputable programs. The catch is, once you are convinced with their highly persuasive copywritings, only then they would ask for your money in order for you to access their highly guarded quality employers who are desperately looking for you to do some Data Entry jobs for them. For most cases, these are simply not true.

In reality, its almost impossible to find an employer that is looking to outsource any Data Entry works it has to inexperience or unskilled individuals. Some of schemes even place Better Business Bureau (BBB) logo on their sites in order to attract peoples from all walks of life to participate in their programs.

So, beware of all the "No Fee Work At Home Data Entry Schemes". Chances are you'll be losing your money instead of gaining any income.

Work At Home Typists Jobs

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 11:05:00 +0000

Work From Home Typist Opportunity is another program that attract hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world. Generally people are curious as to what kind of typing jobs are being offered.

Some claim to be legitimate work at home programs that can lead to earning extra income of $1000 to $2000 per month. While others make substantiate claims of earning five figure income per month. Even with this kind of claim, people still fell for it.

Here are "Work From Home Typist" regular ads that you can see on the internet as well as on local newspapers:-

Work At Home Typists Jobs. Great Pay!
Online Computer Jobs. Free Home Typist Jobs Needed!
Home Typist Hourly Pay Wanted!
Entry Level Work At Home Typists
No Fee Home Typist Work. Now Hiring!
Home Typists Positions Available! Earn $1500 to $2000 your first month!
Legitimate Work From Home Typing Jobs. Join-in Now!

So how does "Work At Home Typists" program work? These companies would claim to have "typist" jobs for those who prefer to work from home. The program joining fee range from $10.00 to $150.00 or more.

Once you join the program, you will be given a "kit" to start the work. The "kit" actually consist of ways to promote the program globally. This include how and where to place the ads and advertisement wordings to promote them. Basically your job is to TYPE THE ADS promoting the companies program online as well as traditional offline media. For each new "home typist" you recruit, you will earn certain percentage of commission.

Basically, there's not much typing involved apart from typing the ads promoting the companies with the hope of scamming other people to join into the program. And how much can we expect to earn from this Home Typist programs? 0 to $10 per month if we are lucky enough that the company decide to release our payment.

Conclusion: Apart from voluntarily helping this Home Typist Program Owners or Scammers scamming other people and get richer, we are wasting our time doing something that have no future. "Work From Home Typist" programs certainly are not legitimate home based businesses activities.

It is one of those paid work at home opportunities that promise you to earning extra income or residual income and easy ways to make money fast.

This Email Advertising Service Providers will sent you the advertisements through your email that you use to join-in the program. All you need to do is click on the ads you had received. You will be paid certain amount normally between $0.01 to $0.05 per ads viewed and clicked.

It sound simple and very easy to do, right? But the truth is the really paying merchants for this get Paid To Read Email Program is hard to come by. Why? Because they do not get any return from advertising with this program. As such, many do not pay or those who had paid, would just ask for a refund.

Even if there are merchants or advertisers who really pay for this program, with earning
of $0.01 to $0.05 per ads, it will take years (not months) for you to receive a single check from the program. That is, if this Online Email Advertising Service Provider is honest or is still around.

And yes, you are right to say that you can earn absolutely much better working at minimum wage for 3 hours anywhere in the US than you can earn from this program in 3 years. So, I suggest that you stay clear of this very intimidating ads on Reading Email For Profit programs.

Get Paid To Do Online Surveys

noreply@blogger.com (D. Avicenna) — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 14:24:00 +0000

Today lets talk about Online market survey or Get paid to do online surveys. Is it a real online jobs or legitimate work at home programs as to what they want you to believe?

Here's the typical headlines. Chances are you've seen it before:-

- Need a Job Working from Home with Computer?

- Legitimate home based businesses!

- Paid online survey companies with no membership fee!

- Trusted international free paid survey!

- Free paid online survey!

- Get paid to take online surveys and make from $5 to $75 each, or more!

- Get paid to participate in focus groups and make up to $150 an hour!

- Get paid to take phone surveys and you can earn as much as $120 an hour!

- Get paid to try new products (and keep the products for free too)!

- Get paid to preview new movie trailers for $4 to $25 an hour!

Of course, the ads list is much more than that. But just to show you some of the most common ones.

Q - Is this for real?

A - Yes, to a certain extent.

"All you have to do is........ and the money will start flowing-in!".

Well, with this kind of statement, you may begin to wonder, right?

Q - Can you really make money with it?

A - Now, that's a tough one. I don't remember when is the last time I get a check for taking online surveys. Maybe not. That's because I am not really a fan of online market survey programs or new movie trailer previewer.

But I do know of a person who diligently did every single survey given down to him for more than 8 months for a company. When the paycheck finally arrived, he received just a little over 5 dollars for an eight months worth of work. And he paid more than $20.00 to purchase the listings or access to their "database" and physically signing up on each of them in order to participate for the programs inside the list.

Note that they mentioned "free to join" in many of the ads, but they will convince you to join-in by paying them in order to have access to their "database".

My advice is, please value your time. Your time is too precious to be wasted on all of these programs. It's better to do some unskilled offline work for a few bucks an hour legitimately than to waste your time on all these. For most people, it just doesn't pay off.
