The bottom line is that there are a lot ways to make money from home and to be honest the same hard work and dedication to the craft will work in most programs. I would recommend doing your due dilligence and finding the program that feels right to you, because you believing in the product is the main issue. If you dont believe in it, you wont be able to sell it long term. Good Luck all
THere are some good ones on here. Big Ticket to Wealth has a pretty unreal backoffice training section and the compensation is structured so your sponser will keep helping you because he gets an overide comission. worth a look
there are a lot of opportunities out there. do the reseach and find the one that you can get behind and believe in and make sure they incent the sponsor to keep training you..i.e. matching overrides and such
mr127500: there are a lot of opportunities out there. do the reseach and find the one that you can get behind and believe in I totally agree with this, there are many many programs and just like schools and programs you have find one you connect with and believe in. I really look for ones with exceptional consistent ongoing training. They are really trying make it work for you as well as them.
As with anything online or for that matter, anything with life in general - You get out of it what you put into it. Any reputable program is going to require work on the part of the participant. Work consistently and determination does pay off!
I just joined the forum...I am in the process of doing research on establishing a web based retail and/or whole sale store. I currently do product sourcing and logistics management on a very small scale and I am trying to expand my business options. With the current economic market and the progressive decline of many retail stores I am seriously considering if this is a smart move. I am fully aware that my firt challenge is to identify exactly where to start..I have explored the drop ship option....any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi everyone, I joined the forums a few days ago and I'm really happy to see such great support here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a young woman who has recently been honorably discharged from the US military due to a medical illness. I am trying to get back on my feet to be able to support myself while working from home. I never really thought about the internet to make money until I stumbled on this web site this past weekend. I can honestly say I'm interested and definitely willing to put all the effort and hard work into becoming successful. I am interested in free lancing and also affiliate marketing has peaked my interest as well. My question is though, where to even begin with affiliate marketing. I have pretty much zero experience in marketing or even building web sites. My mother and sister are graphic designers by trade though and would be more than willing to help me in that department. Can anyone offer some advice? I'd really love to get into contact with someone who can mentor me. Also, I know there are a lot of paid for programs that can help you get started in the affiliate marketing area, but I'm cautious about blowing all that money on a program if it's just garbage. I worked very hard for my money and don't want to lose it to some scam or program that's stupid. Can anyone offer any advice on where to begin/ which programs work the best? As I previously stated, I would love to get in contact with anyone who would be willing to mentor me. I'm also very good with words and typing. I was only a few semesters shy of a journalism degree, and I can type 60+ wpm. I wouldn't mind proof reading or article writing. If anyone could PM me or link me to some really good resources that would be fantastic. Thanks a lot, and happy hunting to you all. =] Valery
I hope this helps someone else as much as it helped me. I've been looking for legitimate work at home jobs and going through scam after scam for quite some time now and finally came across this. Good for stay-at-home moms, college students, or just for someone who'd rather make their living from the comfort of their own home.
Valery: Can anyone offer some advice? I'd really love to get into contact with someone who can mentor me. You may get someone to mentor you but it is very time consuming to do that and not many of us get paid for mentoring. So the best thing is to sign up for a program that feels right to you and then come back to the forum to ask questions. That way you actually get avice from more than one angle on things. Believe me, I know what you are talking about as we were all there at one point and the best teacher is experience so put into practice whatever you learn, even if it is as simple as setting up a blog. Most of us have links to what we personally like as far as programs in our sig lines so as far as which program is the best - there again, you would find a wide variety of opinions and we are not supposed to blattantly advertise thru posting so we try to answer questions the best we can without being pushy about what we think works best. We ALL have the best programs...lol!
Hi Valery, Mountainmom is right. There ARE good programs, but we don't all use the same ones. We aren't really supposed to pm new members until they contact us first - cuts down on all the spam. I'm sure if you have a good look around the forum and see what different people do, something will catch your eye and you'll think - "Aha! That looks interesting." I would guess that most of us wouldn't mind if you made contact via our websites to ask for more info. or if you have specific questions about something we do. Having said all that, freelance writing can be a way to start. It's not as profitable as building your own business over the long haul, but it can bring you in some steady income if you enjoy it. Right now I am paying a couple of people from Odesk.com to write articles for me that I just don't have time to get to. There are other sites like getafreelancer.com and elance.com, to name a few that you can go to and bid on jobs that are on offer. Amazon's Mechanical Turk also is simple to use. You don't have to bid, you just perform set tasks that are still "open." The pay is usually a pittance, but you won't usually get cheated out of it. I'm of the opinion that if you are a good writer, you are better off writing for yourself. You can build a website (no, you don't have to have experience) about almost anything you really have an interest in and make money through affiliate marketing, Google Adsense, etc. Not everyone likes Adsense, but I make hundreds of dollars a month from it (over $1000 in Dec.), so I'm quite happy to recommend it. It takes time and effort to get the ball rolling, but it's really a wonderful sense of accomplishment when you see that steady progress towards success. I hope you find just what will work best for you! Blessings, Angie
I agree with happywife that freelance writing is a good way to start out working at home. I've been working at home for years now. But I've thought about writing as a way to make more money. Having a blog is a great way to make money too. If it gets popular enough, a person can place Ads on their blog and earn money that way. Or/and do paid blogging.
One of th most important reason to start to make money online is to find right program and that you can do by asking questions on forum.If they say that you will be milionar in few mounts it's scam
Valery: Can anyone offer any advice on where to begin/ which programs work the best? Hello Valery, Your post touched me alot, i do really understand where you're standing. I'm a make-up artist livingin Brussels (Belgium) and working for an agency . Make-up is my passion. I did fine, a good extra incom for the house, but not enough to support my self and the kids, that's for sure, i was ok with it as my husband has a confortable income. Until one day, i found that my husband cheated on me, i realised than (after shocking, crying and the usual-now i'm laughing) things have to change, i wanted to be able to make a decision about my life without being affraid of the finacial consequences if i leave my husband. I talked to my agency, but with the difficult economic situation, they couldn't give me more work, i decided than to start an online business. As you, i had no idea where to start and what to do, i did alot of seaching (days!!) and learned step by step how to start, what's an affiliate program, how to market with "pay per click" adds, with blogs, with social networking, what's a SEO and so on AND ALL IN ENGLISH which is not my mother language!! Here in europe internet marketing is not as big as in the USA. And it paid, you can make money online and get a financial independance My advise to you (few actually) 1. Affiliate programs are the fastest way to start making quick money without investing money or very little (i spend only 10$ on a domaine name per affiliate program). And you don't even have to have a website 2. Choose a product you beleive in, it helps 3. Choose a program from a secured company like "Clickbank" to make sure you'll get paid and on time 4. The internet is full of "Mentors" trying to sell their "wisdom" to you. Pay attention, buy only from those who offer refund (60 days etc) and i recommand, again, paying throug "Clickbank" or" PayPal", they refund the monet immediatly if you have a complain. I just got my money back from Clickbank after buying a software promissing to put your website among the 3 first websites on Google - BIG SCAM. On the other hand, i found a mentor who's absolutly amazing, and who's program worth every single dollar i invest in it. 5. Try to get as much as free learning as you can, lots of compagnies offer you free tips if you give your name and email address, than they try to sell you stuff. Open a gmail or yahoo speccial account only for this matter, and get everyrhing to this address, you can get the tips without buying the stuff. 6.Well, another thing, maybe not that ethical...but saves money..you can join a learning program that offering a 60 days refund, beleive me, in 60 days you can learn ALOT and than cancel the order, i know not coom of me, but i beleive that if th program is good and really helps, you'll stick with it, as i did. Well Valery, i guess i have much more tips, but the post is long enough allready..sorry for my english mistakes, i'm a french talker and it's really late here 2.51am, so really tired. As for my husband, i'm not sure of what i'm going to do, but one thing is sure, my decision will come from another place now, not from a financial dependence, and that is my victory! If i can be more helpfull to you at any way, please feel free to cantact me via the blog, take care Shiraz
Valery: Can anyone offer any advice on where to begin/ which programs work the best? As I previously stated, I would love to get in contact with anyone who would be willing to mentor me. Hi Valery, I could offer you some advice. I've just started out with eProspectFinder with great success. It does work, but you're certainly not going to get rich quick. I'm a bit of a novice myself, but I've caught on to a few things that have proven to work with time. PM me, and I'll get back in touch with you very soon.
Valery: I know there are a lot of paid for programs that can help you get started in the affiliate marketing area, but I'm cautious about blowing all that money on a program if it's just garbage. Hello Valery, I have been hessitant to pay for anything in affiliate marketing. The affiliate programs I have joined have been free, have sent e-mails with advice and suggestions, have training courses and help in the members area and you can ask the advertiser (through a contact form or e-mail etc...) for their help. From what I can gather, it is in the advertiser's and affiliate program's best interest to help us as much as they can so we can promote them well. Valery: I'm also very good with words and typing. I was only a few semesters shy of a journalism degree, and I can type 60+ wpm. I wouldn't mind proof reading or article writing. I think you will find, these are the attributes alot of us affiliate marketers wished we had had when we started.
I agree with starting with affiliate marketing. There are plenty of good programs out there. Just go to clickbank and you will find plenty. But please do your due diligence. When I started marketing online. I wrote a email to the affiliate owner for direction and I did get a response. I would suggest you do the same.
My philosophy is that you should never have to pay for any real work at home job. I've been working as a freelancer for over a year and have never had to pay anything for the jobs that I've worked. Of course you pay a commision to the marketplace, but that's only on the money you earn. Freelance work is real work. There are no get rich quick schemes or easy money plans. It's simple. Do the work. Get paid.
i work for alpine access. from the outside they look all friendly and professional but once you work for them you see a completely other side. the "team leaders" are very difficult to work for or please. they are very moody and will site you for a small infraction, even if you were taught that very same way. i feel like it's a nazi like setting where you are dictated to and if you don't like it then leave! check around before you decide on alpine access.
