Make money from home without getting scammed!

I have a method of making money from home using the internet.


It costs you absolutely nothing so there is nothing to lose. If you spend about 1 hour a day for a month, you can have a money machine. You may ask why would somebody tell me the secrets to making money online for free? The answer is merely this, I have spent thousands of dollars searching for ways to make money and none of them worked. I would purchase a system to find out that it was nothing more than a book that a gazillion other people had bought and were doing the same thing that I was doing.

Naturally, this wouldn't work for me nor half of these people. I am not one to rip people off, I am just being straight with everybody and want them to be a success, just as I have found success online. The fact is, the internet is a HUGE place and there is plenty of people who are looking for something every minute. The real question is, will you have what they are looking for?

Before we start, you should think about your business plan and stick to it. You should think about what niche you are going to do good at and stick with your plan.

The first thing that you will need is high-speed internet. If you don't have broadband, click here. You will also need a good computer that runs relatively fast and stable so that when you are working on something, it won't crash.

The next thing that you need to do is get your game(and business) plan. There are a multitude of ways to make money online and along the way there are a lot of scams as well. Before you choose any particular program, google it. See if it has a lot of complaints. This will prove to be very valuable. If I had have done that in the beginning, I could've saved myself a lot of money.

Here are the various ways to make money:

Make Money On eBay


That is probably one of the best ways to make money. You can start off making money on eBay by selling stuff that you plan to get rid of. The saying, "One man's junk is another's treasure." proves to be whenever you sell things on eBay.

To sell on eBay, you need only a couple of things. First, you need a bank account or credit card. If you don't have a bank account and would like to open one, click here to open with Washington Mutual. If you don't have a credit card and would like one, you can apply for a WorldPerks® Visa® Credit Card today or Discover Card.

If you can't get the bank account or credit card, then get an AccountNow Vantage Debit Mastercard or NetSpend Prepaid Visa with 100% guaranteed approval.

After you have done this sign up for paypal. It is free and that allows you to accept credit card payments, e-check payments, and paypal payments for a small fee that they deduct immediately. It also enables you to be paid instantly and then you can ship the item out to the buyer.

If you don't have extra things that you would like to sell, find a dropshipper. This is a company that you will actually purchase the item for wholesale after you sell it. You will see the price that you get it for, raise the amount a couple of dollars and then let the bidding begin. It is a great feeling to make $20 or more on an item and never have to physically touch the item yourself. The biggest and best dropshipper is

Making money with affiliate programs


There are a number of affiliate programs available for any new internet marketer. Depending on the advertiser, they have different requirements for the publisher. There are a few programs that I recommend, anybody can join and the bounty is pretty high per sale.

First program that I recommend for affiliates is Dish Network. The program that I signed up under pays $110 per sale and allows you to market online as well as offline. You can run an ad in the paper and sell possibly 15 or more satellites in one week. I actually made $7200 in one week with dish network. Sign up to become a Dish Network affiliate!

The next program that I recommend is Internet Marketing Center's affiliate program. The fact of the matter is that people are all looking to make extra income and Internet Market Center's program teaches you how to get your site ranked well with search engines and how to market your website through various advertising programs to be very profitable.

Registering a domain or using a blog


You are now ready to build a website or blog. If you build a website, you will need to have a good working knowledge of html programming or you will need to hire a programmer to work for you. (Visit www.superguitartab.com to see one of my websites that has several different dynamic sites in one. This may be a good idea for any of you to build one like this or have one built like it.)

If you build a website, it is yours and you can publish whatever you choose to publish on your site. A lot of blogs are very funny about what you can post. If you do use a blog, I recommend www.blogspot.com. If you build a website, you would want to choose a hosting plan other than the free one because the free one always puts ads at the top of the page that looks bad and unprofessional. And remember, the more professional your site looks, the more sales you will get.

To register a domain, you will choose a regsitrar to register and host it for you. There are a number of companies that can do this and I have listed a few of the best for you:

1. Want 5 free domains? Want to host unlimited domains? Check out 1&1 domain hosting. New! 50% Off Hosting Special!
2. www.EasyCGI.com
3. Free Domain, Free Setup, Host Unlimited Domains $5.95
4. HostRocket Forums
5. Top Rated Web Hosting - $3.95/mo
6. $5.95 Domain Names from Netfirms
7. Get a full dedicated server starting at just $29.95!
8. StartLogic. Free setup/domain, Web builder, unlimited emails, PHP, mySQL, CGI, FrontPage. From $6.50/month. Click Here for more info.
9. Top Rated Web Hosting - $2.95/mo
10. $3.95 Web Hosting from IPOWER
11. Go Daddy Bulk Domain Registration
12. 5 Free Domains At Dotster With Any Hosting Package! Enter Coupon Code "5FORFREE"

Reseller Domain Names and Hosting


If you run a data company and choose to resell domain names and hosting packages, I have found the absolute best for payouts.
1. Reseller Hosting - Start your own hosting business today and sell powerful shared and dedicated housing and hosting
2. Resell Domains for GoDaddy.com

Once you have your site running, you look at Search Engine Optimization. That is making the site friendly for the robots that look at your site. Search engines feed on data so the more details you have on your site, the more the search engine knows about your site and how to rank your site. The next then you should do is get relative links pointing back to your site. There are plenty of webmasters that will be willing to exchange links with you because this also helps their site out as well. (Once again, visit www.superguitartab.com and use the contact form with your site details and a link to show where you have posted my site and I will add you.)

Create an eBook


You can also create an eBook. Now by this, I am not talking about one that millions of people have written about how to get rich online. I don't believe that that is going to work because of all of the scams that have been pulled and people don't buy that anymore.

No, I am talking about an eBook about how to repair a car, computer, book of music scales, cookbook, etc. You would be surprised how many people will buy these sorts of books. Plus, your options for selling these books are practically unlimited. You can use eBay and auction the books starting at $1.00. Let people bid for it and you may do good but even if you sold 100 books for $1.00, that is $100 worth of profit.

You will also be able to sell these on your website, your blog, and even myspace. You would only need a paypal business account or google checkout to do it. Once the order comes in, paypal and google gives you the e-mail address of the person who purchased your book and you then e-mail it to that address.

Plus, you can print a copy and sell these at most Mom and Pop's grocery stores, drugstores, or convenience stores. You can ask full price and give the store 10-20% for selling it for you.

To make the book, you will need a good word processor. Microsoft WordPad, for instance, is free and it is included with Windows. You can also download pdFill for free and print the book into a .pdf file that is saved on your hard drive. It is then compressed to a small enough size for e-mail deliveries.

Google AdSense and other PPC programs


You can use google adsense, yahoo, and other programs to post relevant ads on your page. This is also free to sign up for and once you sign up you make money depending on the number of clicks off of your pages. Please DON'T people's programs claiming that you make a ton of money from adsense. These are scams.

You can make money from adsense, don't get me wrong. You have to have useful information on your page for google to put the right ads on your site, though. Also with adsense, you can post youtube videos on you page with ads and referrals from Google.

Advertising Your Online Business


You can advertise a few ways. One is through organic traffic. That is traffic that naturally comes to you from search engines. The way to build this is by quality content on your site that focuses on about 3 keywords per page. You can get the quality content by a.)writing it yourself, or b.)hiring a copywriter. The other thing to get your site rank is by quality backlinks or links pointing back to your site. See search engine optimization above.

The next way is through pay per click programs. You can advertise your site through google adwords, yahoo, and msn for X amount of cents per click. If you optimize your keywords for your campaign, this can prove to be very effective advertising.

Third, write articles for your site and post them through different article sites like www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com.

After doing this, also go to www.digg.com and see list it there. If you get enough diggs on it, they will post it on their front page and give you the opportunity to get free quality advertising there as well.

I hope that this has been useful information for you to get started and if you have any questions, visit www.superguitartab.com and use the contact form to send me your questions.
