Affliate marketing is a great way to make money.

For example, I make websites and people always ask me what host do you use (hostgator) and when they want to sign up I just ask them if they can sign up through my affiliate link which they almost always do.

Hey ohnogc,

First, good luck in your endeavors whatever you choose. As a person with an advanced degree, your earnings potential are best by finishing school and going and getting higher degrees than anything you can do working from home.

That being said, as a person in the online advertising industry, these people are all giving you pretty bad advice but it is all based on experience and lack of research. If you are going to create a blog ... think about the economics first. Let's say you put up an ad unit on your blog ... the average adsense CPM is let's say $0.50. If you delivered 1M ad impressions ... that equates to $500 for your efforts. What are the chances that you will deliver 1M impressions .. very slim.

Now let's take a look at surveys. Choose the right company (I work for one of the top 4). Think in terms of a work week. Working with our company, the average $ per hour is $7.50 ... around minimum wage working slowly and not as a job. Therefore, you would make about $300 for 40 hours of your time in theory. You are guaranteed this income and you don't need web knowledge to do it. If you sign up for all four of the main companies that are legitimate, you can pick and choose the surveys that pay best and raise that $7.50 to around $15.00 an hour. Being efficient ... this is a legitimate job with guaranteed income. If you ever find another offline job, you can continue to do this for supplemental income.

Therefore, unless you are a web expert ... which NONE of these people are ... you are best to go the survey route. If any of the people on this email would like recommendations of companies to work with, reply here and I can let you know which ones are BBB approved and pay in cash.

Good luck!

I believe most of us would agree that it is a great way of making money. But what you didn't mention is that this model of business has a deep learning curve. For newbies, it may take probably more than 6 six months to see their first sale.

getagrip,
you must see these two recent posts. I totally agree with them, still there are home workers who think, like me, that paid surveys are not a waste of time.

Adding adsense to your website will get you started making money with your blog. Affiliate marketing is good I also like network marketing because NM focuses on personal development and business development as well. When building a successful business I think being a strong leader is important.

Hello,

I would try and get involved with an inexpensive business in a box teahcing system for new folks like My Online Incoem System designed by Kimberely Hoffman. (MOIS) teaches all about the basics of affiliate marketing, using blogs, article merketing etc.

Give it a look. Stay tuned to forums like this. I have gotten great info here

Hey,

I am using Paid Surveys etc. Is this a recommended site? I am a single household of one, not a consumer powerhouse; Does this reduce my demographic appeal?

2. Since I have a blog already and I'm determined on writing on it each day, would it be possible to get money through it? If so, exactly what should I look into?

sure you can use adsense..you can also bring products from clickbank and promote it.. you can also put clickbank hoplink feeder on your blog..the most important is the content of your blog. It should be rich and original. copy and paste will not help.

Sorry to be off topic...

Stay in school. When I was your age, over 40 years ago, good jobs were easy to find. Now, it takes a degree to wash dishes.
Best wishes with your IM endeavor.
