The economy is in the tank, no one has any cash and the people out there looking for opportunities to make money from home are tripping over each other. When things get this tight it’s time to get creative. O. K., so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel, let’s just consider some relatively simple ways we can stay home and make money; and since we’re online now, let’s start there.
1.) If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve seen or heard the term “content is king.” Well why not make some money from home by writing content? Free lance writers can make good money and if you like writing, its right up your alley! In addition to your John Hancock writing abilities, you’ll need the ability to do research. But think about it, the computer is the thing you’re banging away on so you might as well use it for research and Google yourself silly. You can start by typing the term Constant Content. You probably won’t get rich, but you can make decent money from home.
2.) Do you like trying things out and giving your opinion? Then you need to consider online surveys. There are a ton of sites and they’re constantly searching for new recruits. Head on over to a place like labor dollars and check them out, but be forewarned, the idea is to make money from home, not spend money from home! If you have to buy something in order to give an opinion or signup for a nominal fee trial subscription be sure to read the fine print very carefully. Again, you won’t get rich taking surveys, but 20 bucks comes in handy at times.
3.) So, you think you can make money by selling from home? The American dream, part two; Part one own your home and part two is making a living from home so you never have to leave. Well, you might want to consider affiliate marketing. Where you don’t buy anything, ship, store, clean or collect on anything that you sell. You are simply the middle man that brings the buyer and the seller together and take your cut. Then it’s off to the next sale. May sound easy but it isn’t. Don’t get me wrong. Today it’s a piece of cake getting products, building web pages and filling them with content. Then just sit back and wait for the customers to line up and fork over their cash for your “to die for” products! That’s what you’re led to believe, anyway. The truth is that’s when the real work begins. If you want to make money from home in front of your computer as an affiliate marketer; you’ll need to learn certain things and brush up on terms like SEO and Keyword Optimization. Because the only way you’re going to make money from home with affiliate marketing is if you can drive traffic to your site. The business god of the internet; TRAFFIC! If you understand that, and can accomplish it, then you can make money. Serious money!
4.) If you can’t drive traffic then sales at a site that already has traffic seems like a logical progression to staying home and making money. Places like EBay, Craigslist and Amazon are nothing but giant garage sales. Where you get rid of all the things you have been collecting over the years and sell them. Once you’ve sold all that, then you find and sell more merchandise and continue selling. Yep, these guys figured out how to drive traffic. All you need to do is supply the merchandise; the content. It's a nice gig and you can make all that money from the comfort of your home.
Well, I’m starting to run out of gas at this point about making money from home, so let’s wrap it up for now with one more idea.
5.) Start a blog. If you are reading this, you know what a blog is. You may not know how it makes or if it makes money and if it does either, how you could do it in your pajamas from home. But they can be profitable and fun. There dirt cheap to start, too. Go to Blogger or Wordpress and get one free and then write about what you love and what interest you. Write about whatever you’ve got a passion for. Hell, write about how to make money from home!
