I had made this offer available to my newsletter subscribers only, but seeing as how I apparently don’t have any serious subscribers, I have decided to open this up to anyone.

I honestly can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t jump on an offer like I’m about to propose. There’s no risk involved, and so much to gain.

Here’s the deal…

I’m looking for a few people who seriously want to start making money online. I’m talking about people who don’t have a clue about this business and want to get started on the right foot. If you’re completely new to internet/affiliate marketing, and you’re ready to take action and positive steps towards your financial future, then this offer is for you.

I’ll give you $10 if you take me up on this. There’s no time limit.

This offer was originally limited to the first 5 people, but I’ve decided to offer this to everyone who takes advantage of this. So every single person who signs up for a HostGator account through my link will receive $10 from me.

Here’s what you need to do…

1. Sign up for a web hosting account with HostGator. Those are my affiliate links. During the sign-up process, enter coupon code “wordpress” (without quotes) to get started for just 1 cent ($0.01). It’s very important that you do this, otherwise you’ll be paying more than you have to.

2. Register a domain name with NameCheap. Again, my affiliate link. The cost is less than $10.

Keep in mind that your domain name should describe what your website will be about. This website will be the starting block for your “business,” so take some time in choosing a good domain name. Don’t make this complicated, though.

3. Email me your receipt of purchase from HostGator and NameCheap. Once I confirm that you have purchased both through my affiliate links, I will send you $10 through PayPal. Send me your PayPal email address at this time as well.

I’m basically refunding the $9.95 you spent for your domain name and the $0.01 for hosting, so there is absolutely zero cost to you.

NOTE:

I highly recommend clearing your internet cache and cookies before clicking on my links above. This will ensure I get credit when you purchase through them.

Once everything is underway, I will setup your blog for you and teach you how to start marketing and making money with your new blog. This is where the real value of my offer is. This is crucial to your success, and I’m going to help you get there.

IMPORTANT:

I’m looking for people who are serious about this and want to start taking the steps to change their life. The most important step is the first one… and that is simply to TAKE ACTION.

Remember, because I’m paying you $10 into your PayPal account, you have absolutely nothing to lose. You can get started for free right now.

If you have any questions or comments please leave your thoughts in the comments section below or email me directly.

I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your dreams for 2010!

This is probably a question that gets asked all too often, and for good reason, really. There’s many people looking to work from home, and finding legitimate opportunities can be a downright pain. It doesn’t have to be, though.

I just wrote a recent article: Legitimate Work From Home Jobs – Where to Find Them providing some simple steps you can take right now.

It’s going to be a time-consuming process, as you need to define your goals, needs and interests. These should all line up with the job you’re interested in. There are literally thousands of opportunities out there, both offline and online. It’s not something you want to rush into.

Here’s a short story about how I started working online (If you even care lol)…

5 years ago when I was working a full-time job, I had the desire to work for myself. I knew people were making money online, so I started searching for jobs or opportunities. I used search engines like Google and MSN (at the time) and looked at hundreds of results.

I eventually came across the Plug-In Profit Site (my affiliate link) which introduced me to affiliate marketing. I haven’t looked back since. Just a year and a half ago I decided to venture into proofreading and re-writing, as I felt I had a natural skill for those things.

Both affiliate marketing and proofreading/re-writing are something I’m highly interested in and have a passion for. This is essential when looking to work from home.

In one of my previous posts about working from home with affiliate marketing, I talked about how affiliate marketing is the easiest way to get started making money online.

This post is going to cover a way in which you can start generating money with affiliate marketing without having to actually sell anything. Interested? You should be. You can earn a decent amount of money from your web traffic by promoting CPA ads.

CPA stands for Cost Per Action. The way CPA ads work is that you promote a particular ad or ads that are related to the content and niche of your site.  CPA ads can be found for practically any niche you’re in.

When someone comes to your site and sees a link to a product or service you’re promoting for a CPA network, and they click on the link, they’ll be taken to the owner’s site for that offer. Your affiliate ID will be included.

Here’s the best part. All that person has to do is take some sort of ACTION. This action doesn’t involve actually buying anything. If the person is interested in the offer and fills out a form to learn more, you automatically get credited for the sign-up. This earns you a set commission into your account for that CPA affiliate network.

The commission earned for each sign-up can range from $1 to $3. If a sale is generated, the commissions can be $20 all the way up to $60 or more, depending on the offer.

Here’s an example…

You’re promoting a survey site for a reputable company, and they’re paying $3 per lead. Someone comes to your site, sees the ad and clicks on the link. They go to the survey site and read over the offer. There’s a form that requests their name and email address so they can be sent further information (which is how leads are generated). They fill out the form, and you’re automatically credited with $3.

It’s that simple. You don’t have to sell anything at all. Although, the money you can earn is a lot more if you do make a sale on top a lead.

Here’s a tip: The shorter the form is, the more likely someone is going to fill it out. So, try to find offers that only have one or two lines for them to fill in. If you can’t, don’t worry, if it’s a good offer it may convert just as well. It all comes down to testing different offers.

Here are the two CPA Affiliate Networks that I use and earn money from:

MaxBounty

Responsive Data

I just want to note that getting approved for CPA affiliate networks can be a little tricky. If you decide to sign up for one of these and run into any problems, just let me know, and I’ll help you out.

Also, both of these companies have the option to be paid directly to your PayPal account, which is very nice.

Do you use CPA affiliate networks to earn money? What companies do you use? How are you doing with them? Share your comments below…

By now you should know that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to start making money online. If you didn’t know that… you do now.

Why is it so easy?

You don’t need your own product or service. Simply promote someone else’s product or service and earn a commission when you  make a sale. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people are earning automated income using affiliate marketing, including myself.

The best way to earn money online is to automate the process. How do you do that? Simple. You start up a website which takes some initial work. Then you build traffic to your site by marketing and promoting it, which also takes some work. If you’ve done your marketing correctly, your website will see a continuous flow of traffic.

If you’ve targeted this traffic correctly, then this traffic should be interested in the products you’re promoting on your site. Of course, your site needs to have a lot of great content as well.

Notice how everything is dependent on doing things correctly. You can waste a lot of time and effort by doing things the wrong way. I’m here to help if you have any questions about anything, so don’t be afraid to ask.

With affiliate marketing, you can set up a site or blog geared towards a specific niche, choose a few products related to that niche, and be ready to sell within hours. There’s no other business model that allows you to be “in business” that quickly.

The cost to get started is very minimal as well. Contrary to a traditional offline business where you have to buy a building and the land it’s on, an online business only requires a domain name and web hosting.

This makes affiliate marketing ideal for many people who don’t have much money to spare. For as little as 7.95 per month and $9.99 a year, which is what I pay for my web hosting and domain, you can have your own online business. The return can be so much more.

That’s really a small price to pay when you consider that with just one affiliate sale, you can double your money back.

If you think this whole affiliate marketing thing is too complicated, trust me, it isn’t. And, as I already mentioned, you can contact me anytime if you want my help.

There’s no reason why you can’t start making money with affiliate marketing today. The only one holding you back is yourself. If you have a burning desire, then go for it!

If you’re ready to get started, may I suggest the domain and web hosting that I use:

• NameCheap
• HostGator

Register your domain name with NameCheap and then set up your web hosting with HostGator. Again, I can help you with this.

Also, those are my affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you take my advice. But hey, I wouldn’t recommend them if I didn’t believe in them. Afterall, I use them to host this blog and manage this domain name.

Take that first step today to change your tomorrow…

An online friend of mine recently shared a report with me titled “The Brutal Truth About Internet Marketing.” Now, I already know most if not all the truths to be told about internet marketing and running an online business. But, I realize that there may be some of my readers that aren’t aware of the ugly tactics used in today’s world to scam honest hard-working people.

Have you ever been told?

“Make $5000 per day while you sleep.”

“You only need to spend 2-4 hrs a day to become an internet marketing success.”

If you’ve ever read something that truly made you think:

“I’m going to become rich overnight or in a short time doing almost nothing.”

I’m sure you’ve heard these phrases or have thought that getting rich was easy at some point. My inbox gets flooded with nonsense like that all the time.

This free report will debunk many of the common internet marketing myths and advise you on what to look out for if you’re serious about becoming an internet marketer or dreaming about making money online.

It’s a short 5 page report and can be read within 10 to 15 minutes. I highly recommend you grab your free copy before you fall victim to an internet marketing scam.

To get your copy just go to this page and fill in your first name and email address. You’ll have to confirm that you want to download the report, and then the download link will be emailed to you right away.

It’s refreshing to see stuff like this available because more and more people need to be aware of what’s going on. With the recession affecting so many people, there are many who are desperate to get money as quick as possible, and they’ll believe almost anything they hear to get it.

The sad part is that most of the time it’s just another trickster selling a bogus product that doesn’t help anyone to make any money online. They’re only making themselves money by taking your money.

A great example of what I mean can be found on JR’s Internet Marketing Strategies Blog, where he made the post Secret Shortcuts To Making Millions Online. Definitely worth the read so that you know what you should avoid.

This free report covers this topic as well as other pertinent information that is essential for anyone looking to get into internet marketing. Again, to download your free copy of  “The Brutal Truth About Internet Marketing,” just click here.

With the all the talk about the global financial crisis daily, it might seem difficult to make money during the financial crisis. It’s not difficult to feel anxious about your financial future. While traditional brick and mortar businesses are struggling to get customers through the doors and spend their money, Internet and Affiliate Marketers are asking, what crisis?

Here’s a funny, yet realistic video of how the U.S. got into a financial crisis in the first place…

While making money on the internet falls short of the hyped up claims of making zero to five and six figure incomes after a month, starting your online career has never been easier. If you are concerned about the direction of your financial future as well as the stability of your job, making money online can help take some of that stress away by providing a little extra income in your pocket each week as another income stream. This will allow you to make money during the financial crisis without turning your life upside down. You DO NOT need to become a fully fledged marketer, quit your day job and take the financial risk to both you and your family. What you can do is provide some nice passive income at your own pace.

With all the doom and gloom, it’s important to note that even during times of crisis there are those that will prosper and make money during the financial crisis. We have the tools at our disposal to make the most of the tough time we are in. If you have a computer, an internet connection, which you do as you are reading this, then all you require is to take the next step and decide on your approach. The most popular and lucrative method online is Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to promote some of the biggest names and products in the world. The beautiful thing about Affiliate marketing is that you do not need to hold stock, place orders, worry about employees or even work set hours; your approach is completely up to you. By simply referring potential customers with products you are paid a commission by some of the biggest companies in the world. Whether you have a blog, love to write articles, post on Facebook and Myspace, your time online can start making you money today.

DO NOT believe the hyped up products that seem to be too good to be true! Is it true that there are thousands of people making an absurd amount of money? Absolutely, but as with any business it takes time to grow. Being your own boss will allow you to dictate how many hours you want to put into growing your business. The flexibility of Internet and Affiliate Marketing makes it such an attractive proposition for most of us that spend countless hours on the Internet, writing blogs, posting on forums and surfing. If this rings home, then it’s time for you to consider to monetize the time you spend online and make money during the financial crisis for you and your family.

Today I want to bring to your attention a program called Project Payday. Maybe you’ve heard of it before, maybe you haven’t. Basically, it’s a unique program designed for average Joe’s to make a realistic extra income online other than getting online
payday loans.

So, what exactly is Project Payday? I must admit when I was first introduced to Project Payday I was very skeptical. Every testimony I read, members boasted making money within their first two hours working the program. That’s a pretty big statement, and one not to take lightly.

Supposedly this program is unique from any other way to work from home making money online. That’s the main thing that caught my attention and convinced me to see what this program was TRULY about. I wanted to know more… I wanted to know what made this program tick.

I spent the $25 to give this program a try and see if it was able to back up its claims. Heck, they even have a free option to gain access to the program as well. Not a bad deal, eh?

Here’s what Project Payday is:

I know what you’re thinking. People are willing to pay me to complete free offers for them? I know, I was surprised too! But people actually work from home and do this for a living. Getting paid to complete free offers seems almost too easy if you ask me.

I had to put this to the test for myself. Here’s my results with Project Payday:

Not bad at all. I made my money back plus an extra $65 working only about three hours total.

It’s not your conventional work from home business by any means. But, it’s definitely a winner in my book because it actually delivers! That doesn’t happen too often, so I just had to share this with you.

If you could use some extra income, and who doesn’t, then check out Project Payday and start making money within the next two to three hours.
