I know what you’re thinking, and no, this does not have to do with dating. Unless of course you’re looking to date a work from home opportunity, then you’re in luck.

All kidding aside, I’m always on the lookout for new ways and opportunities to make money online. Well, sometimes they end up finding me instead. This one came in the form of an email that introduced me to LucrativeMinds.com. A little bashful I never heard of the site before, I had to inquire more and find out what it’s all about.

What is LucrativeMinds.com?

Probably one of the most notable features on the site is the work from home compatibility match. Yep, you read that right. Basically, you spend about 5 minutes to fill out a questionnaire, and at the end, their proprietary technology will match you with the make money opportunities that you have the best chance of succeeding with.

Sounds pretty cool, right?

Here’s more, straight from the site:

This Lucrative Minds^SM patent pending technology is a unique aggregation of labor intensive manual research and the world’s most trusted web and business research data sources.

They offer management tools so you can mange the opportunities you’re matched with using their Lucrative Score^SM. Combined with a Compatibility Engine^SM, these opportunities are ranked so that you can pick and choose which ones you want to go with, assuring you a higher success rate, since they’re based on the information you entered into the questionnaire.

Their main goal, which is parallel to mine, is to help people avoid scams and common internet fraud. That’s been my primary goal since the first day I launched this site. There are numerous scams and thieves out there today, so whatever we can do as a whole to make people aware of them is a good thing.

What You Can Expect To Find

LucrativeMinds.com is also a huge work from home resource, not to mention they dub themselves the ‘Work From Home Research Professionals.’ Here’s just a little of what you’ll also find on the site:

• List of Work From Home Opportunities
• Blog
• Forum (Must be a subscriber to gain access)
• Resources Page
• FAQs
• LM Investigator Page (Goes more into detail about what the site is about and their stance on scams)
• Articles and Education
• And More

You’ll also want to read the Why Trust Us page, which fortifies a lot of what I’ve stated already. There’s also a short video clip with President and Co-Founder Greg Carter, who I had the pleasure of emailing back and forth about the site.

Advantages Over Other Sites

LucatriveMinds has many advantages over other work from home sites, most notably the innovative technology they use to match people to specific opportunities. But, there are some other distinct features that set them apart from the crowd.

From the words of Greg, they:

• have APIs that go out and gather data, most on a daily basis.
• let the community chime in and provide ratings.
• provide an unbiased score to each one of their opportunities.
• are 100% free.

The ratings system is what stands out to me. Members can rate every opportunity and resource they come across. By offering member ratings, this provides assurance among members that the opportunities are reliable and that members had a positive experience (assuming the rating is positive, of course).

I could go on and on, but honestly, just go to the site and see for yourself. There’s nothing to lose but 5 minutes of your time. You may just find the opportunity you’ve been waiting for, that is, if you haven’t found it here first.

Disclaimer: This post was written in agreement that Greg will showcase my site on LucrativeMinds.com’s blog in exchange for my positive review of his site. With that said, I fully believe that LM is a credible and reliable resource for money making opportunities.

We finally get to the end of our struggling internet marketer series (not that I was in any hurry), where I answered a key question yesterday about driving traffic and generating sales.

This post is going to cover the second question:

Is there another cool way of making money online from __________ (Wherever you are in the world)?

It’s a very good question, especially when so many people around the world are looking for a different way of making money than what they’re used to. Or, because of the global economic crisis, they have nothing and need a way to support their family.

In any case, there are many different legitimate work from home opportunities that are truly global opportunities.

Here are a couple posts I’ve written about various opportunities that I highly recommend:

• Flip Switch Profits
• SFI Marketing Group

Now, there are some other global opportunities I’ve tried firsthand but haven’t gotten around to writing about yet. I’ll simply post the links below, but keep on the lookout for when I do finally get around to reviewing them…

My Affiliate Power Site – A new opportunity created by my mentors that allows you to earn 6 streams of income from reputable businesses. It’s very new… only about 2 weeks into the launch, which is why I haven’t gotten a chance to write about it yet.

Online Data Entry Jobs – This one is great and is actually how I got into proofreading. It’s not your average “data entry” crap you usually see. It provides many different options out there depending on what interests you. A lot of training is provided for each area. Just so happened that I was already interested in proofreading before I checked this program out, and after, I was motivated and pointed in the right direction to get it going.

Each opportunity I listed is unique in it’s own way. I advise that you check each one out individually and see if it’s something that you think will work for you.

Be advised that there is no such thing as “get rich quick” and these opportunities don’t support that way of thinking. You will be required to actually work and put in months of time before you see any kind return. The amount of time it will take before you see income coming in will depend on your level of focus, determination and amount of time you spend making it work.

Of course, if you don’t find what you’re looking for here, you can just as well do a search on Google. There’s only a billion other opportunities out there that you’ve never heard of. Just be warned there are many scams out there. The opportunities I listed are legitimate and proven to work.

As always, do your own due diligence when researching work from home opportunities.

One of my recent making money with work from home opportunities articles discusses the importance of finding a mentor or group of mentors to help you make money online. Because let’s face it, most people, and maybe yourself, are just plain lost and don’t know where to start.

It’s similar to when Columbus went sailing the ocean blue to find the new world. He didn’t know where he was or how he was going to get to where he was going. All he had was a dream and passion for finding new land.

Affiliate/Internet marketing is no different. Sure, you’ll get there eventually (Afterall, Columbus did), but it will take you a heck of a lot longer if you don’t get help.

I’ve been there myself, and I would still be there if it wasn’t for finding the right people and following after them. Most people don’t ever make any money online because they don’t look for a mentor or don’t follow in the footsteps of those that are successful.

It’s not about reinventing the wheel. It’s about knowing what to do and implementing it. And, with a little ingenuity, maybe even finding a better way to do it.

That’s what making money with work from home opportunities is all about. The steps are right there in front of you. The problem is piecing them together and making them work seamlessly. I recommend getting a mentor or group of mentors if you’re serious about making money online and working from home.

In order to succeed in a Internet home business during a recession, changing your marketing strategy is essential. With a few minor advertising tweaks and adding or removing products to your web site you can have a recession proof business.

A common misconception that many people have is that now is a bad time to make money with a Internet home business. Many people will either close their business or wait until they feel the economy has improved to start one. However, these people are possibly missing out on an incredible opportunity.

Depending on their particular situation people react to a recession in various ways. One thing that will remain constant is that they won’t stop buying things, they just will be buying different things. In fact, if money is tight, many will be searching for more items to save money. So, you need to tailor your recession marketing strategy to respond to the new opportunity.

The key to making money with a Internet home business is to understand what people want and why they want it. This does not change with a recession. It is even more important in a poor economy than in a boom and is key to making sure you have a recession proof business.

When the economy is doing well, people like to spend money. With extra money in their pockets and the feeling that there will always be more available, they enjoy spending it. They have a feeling that they are rich and it will only get better.

However, during a recession, everybody worries about their financial security even if they have not been personally effected. They will stop spending money on items that they feel are not necessary and will look to save money on every purchase. They also will put off buying high ticket items such as a new car or expensive vacation and adopt a more “make do” style of spending.

With this new spending style, operating a Internet home business offers some distinct advantages and may actually be recession proof. Here are a few examples of opportunities that should only grow during a recession.

Financial Advice: The economy had been so good for so long that many of the younger generation have never bothered to learn the most basic information about their financial situation. They assumed they would always be on easy street and have no idea how to manage credit card debt or even how to set up a household budget. Many people will be looking for simple advice and financial counseling services.

On the other end of the spectrum are those who are close to retirement and are beginning to look for additional ways to make and save money. With the crash of the stock market many people have lost a large portion of their retirement savings. These people will be looking for additional streams of income and advice on how to invest more for retirement.

Work From Home Opportunities: With the recession many people have lost their jobs or are concerned they may soon loose it. People are looking for jobs and are unable to find any are looking to work from home. A one stop source of information of different work from home opportunities are what many people are already looking for.

If you look at the recession as an opportunity to help others and use your Internet home business as source of information and value for those who need it, you will discover there are many ways to build a recession proof business and make a good living by helping others.

Retirement is something many people look forward to. It’s a time to relax and enjoy life. Unfortunately, retirement income is something most people don’t think about, until they actually decide to retire.

A lot of people find that their retirement income just isn’t enough to provide for their current style of living. They either have to find part-time work to supplement their retirement income, or they have to degrade their standard of living.

Most people would prefer to keep up with their current standard of living, so they must find a way to supplement their existing retirement income.

Finding another job, even part-time, isn’t exactly something many would like to do. After all, they retired for a reason. They would rather spend their time at home and enjoy themselves.

So how does one add to their current retirement income without getting another job?

The solution that most find the easiest as well as rewarding is to work from home. Working from home provides the relaxation that they want, the time and flexibility to enjoy life and the retirement income that they require.

There are so many passive income ideas available today, that working from home just makes sense for those that are recently retired, or soon to be. Some consider it a hobby, while others put more time and effort into it in hopes of building a long-term business that will provide for them long down the road.

Everyone’s needs are different, and finding the right work from home opportunities to supplement their current retirement income shouldn’t be taken lightly. You should figure out what you’re good at or what you would enjoy doing most.

There are many work from home “jobs” that provide almost instant income for the time and effort that you work, while others are an actual business that will take time to build.

Your retirement income is nothing to take lightly. Take the steps today to ensure that you have enough retirement income to still enjoy the pleasures that life brings you.
