Earn Money From Home

If you have ever seen a pop up ad for a "free Xbox", and remember that fact, then you are proof that incentive advertising works. You may not have chased after the freebie with your credit card hand outstretched, but you took notice. Can you name five more memorable pop up ads? Most of us can not, and that is the beauty of this method. You remember it, and as time passes, the likelihood of you clicking through to find out what it is all about, even if only to prove your own scepticism, increases. I do not think any other type of online advertising has this power. Of course, the thrill of punching the right monkey in the nose for a reward (some of you will know what I mean), has lost its appeal, but the idea of something for nothing is still a sure shot way to get people to open their wallet. Ask anyone in the Internet marketing genre. People are willing to spend their last penny if it will make them a buck, or even if you can convince them it will.

Have you ever wished that it was as truly easy as they say? How about if it was really in fact even simpler, and carried a higher payout then they even let on? Now this is no get rich scheme for the weak at heart. You will have to play the parts of corporate buyer, data entry clerk, secretary, affiliate marketer, direct sales agent, and even a reporter to get every dime possible from these little websites full of banner ads.

But to get you started on your way, how about getting paid within a few hours to a few days to the tune of a couple of hundred smackaroos for only doing half of what they ask of you to get that Xbox? It is as simple as connect the dots. But can you connect the dots?

While Internet marketing does have it's rewards, I work twice as hard as David Letterman (or even harder considering I do my own writing, but that is another story). Let's start with number 20.

#20- Get a PayPal account. While the incentive sites will not require this of you, you will be way ahead of the game from the very beginning if you get one, and make sure that it is "verified". In #19 you will soon see why.

#19- Never take a person's referral (affiliate) link and click on it until they are willing to pay you for doing it. You heard me right. If you really want to get anything out of this, now is the best time to start. There are forums online where people gather to pay each other to become their referral, given you complete the requirements of the site. Some with pay you 30-50, even up to 80% of their reward based on your referral directly to your PayPal account once you complete your offers. If you like, you can do this a few times and go buy your own Xbox, and never have to refer anyone.

#18- Set up a unique, throw away, public (web based) email address with the spam filter disabled. Never give out your regular email address to these websites. To use an add on email address from your local ISP, other than the default one you set up, would be the best way to go, but disabling the spam filter for local accounts can be next to impossible for the home user. Most ISPs centralize their spam filtering system and call it a "feature" of their service, no matter how many emails you may miss because of it.

The reason I say this is because you are going to be dealing with two types of email on this journey, each one designed for a very special purpose, to thwart you in getting what you want, and getting them everything they can.

The first email variety is the type that are methodically created to make it through any spam filtering mechanism. These will be your unwanted emails, sent to you by advertisers that buy or rent your email address from either the incentive site or the offer sites that you will be visiting through this site. They will do anything to make sure that you see these mailings, and no amount of spam filtering will keep them out in totality.

The second email classification is the "hider". These emails are written with the intention of getting chewed up by your email filtering program and hidden from view. These are the emails that send you the information you need to opt out of any offer that you find not suitable for you after signing up for the free or low cost trial. You wanted an introduction to the product or service at low or no cost. You wanted a date. They designed a shotgun wedding, and they will make you buy the ring every time. Disabling your spam filter and using a throw away account solves both dilemmas.

#17- Even though you may be tempted, never sign up for offers using a pre-paid credit or debit card, or try to create more than one account. The incentive sites, as well as their offer partners, generate enough money in their marketing efforts to incorporate the best of the best when it comes to security and fraud protection services and software. The best thing that could ever happen to you while using a pre-paid card to sign up for your trial offers is that the offer website will refuse to accept the card on the basis that it can not be verified as a valid bank or interest bearing card. The more insidious result is that every website offer you complete charges the card, lets you try the product, takes your money for the trial, but reports the pre-paid cards' usage to the incentive site, thus blocking you for getting "credit" for completing that offer through their site. If you try to create more than one account, you will more than likely just have your ability to participate revoked, and forfeit all possible rewards coming. If they wanted to however, internet fraud charges against you could be a legal option.

#16- Use the Firefox Internet browser for all of your incentive and offer website interaction. The popular Internet Explorer browser that come with Windows' based PCs by default has a poor track record of supplying the correct information to those that record it for crediting you account for the work you have done. I do not know the technical reasons behind this, as I have been using Linux for years now. But be forewarned IE has a horrible track record of messing with your money in this way.

#15- Before you even think of entering the incentive website through a referral url link or after creating your own account, make sure that all cookies are cleared in your browser. It is best if you set your browser to automatically ask you to do this upon closing or initially opening it. Starting with a clean slate makes it easier for these sites to track your every move, thus crediting you for it. I have even heard that if you visit several incentive sites, forget or decide not to complete an offer, and the decide to do so on another site, if you cookies are not cleared you may be in for a surprise. Even if you have done all of the offers required on the first site, and you really need the credit on the second, it may get credited to the first, leaving you with an extra trial offer and no closer to your goal. And every time you complete an offer, leave the window open for a few minutes, then close your browser. Upon reopening, make sure that all cookies are clear, and dive back in through the incentive site. Never open an advertiser's url outside of the incentive site to complete an offer. It will never credit.

#14- When given the chance to choose your reward, pick the one that gives you the highest value per referral. Getting referrals is not nearly as hard as you might think, just consider rule #20

#13- Read the Terms of Service agreements to every website you come across and take notes. The TOS is the website's religion, and they will hold you to it by the letter with such zeal. If you follow the TOS of every site, you will be rewarded, if you do not, you can lose your soul (in the form of future money or current credit). This is the rule that if it were not to be seen as a typo, I would list 2 or 3 times. It is that important.

#12- Once in the ad banner area of the incentive website, be sure to read all of the ads, and the information about the offers made available from them. Many people will get into trouble by simply clicking on the first ad they see. Webmasters have their own reasons for the positioning of their advertiser's graphics, and they do not tell you what those reasons are. But I can assure you that more than one puts all of the ads at the top that dissuade people from completing terms of service agreement to collect a reward.

#11- Only click on a banner ad one time, double clicking is often not needed, and is in fact confusing to these website's "click counters". You do not want to be seen as trying to complete an ad twice, or confuse the poor server by giving it two generated urls to link to you.

The only exception to this is if you have your heart set on on an offer, you should go directly to the banner ad, click on it once, and when it opens go right for its TOS and record any information that might be of interest to you. But remember to leave the site completely and clear your cookies before coming back to actually do the offer. it is an unconfirmed rumor, that some offer sites, will "lose" you when you click away to read the TOS, and when you come back to complete the offer directly from it, it will not credit to your incentive website account. I am wearing my little tin hat on this one, but it is better safe than sorry.

#10- After completing the offer and leaving the window open for a few minutes, leave the site and come back, again closing your browser and clearing your cookies first. Check to see if you were given credit for the offer. Do not get too worried if it does not post your credit right away, most will not. If the time runs into days or even a week, simply email the administrator of the incentive website with any available information that you may have on your offer completion, and find out what their policy is for making sure you get the credit you deserve. (You did read the TOS of both the offer and incentive site, taking notes along the way, as well as keeping records of your order completion right?).

#9- After you complete the required offers for the incentive website, contact the person that offered to pay you for completing the referral link for them and collect your money. If they do not pony up, then the forum or other venue you originally contacted him usually has their own policies of how they deal with this. Sometimes a better solution to begin with would be to seek out a reputable person with their own site to do business with. Sure, there isn't that sense of community that makes such ventures thrive. But if you find an established individual site to work with, you do not have the forum crawlers, or people looking to take referrals and 'forget to pay". Forum rules do little to protect you from this unless they collect the paypal address of every single member and require an "invoice' for each deal designed. Then there is a chance that PayPal will step in, but I have yet to find this in a public forum, only a select few individuals do this that I know of. I adhere to this policy myself, because it protects both parties, as well as giving you credibility, but for a forum, it could soon become a nightmare logistically.

#8- Make sure to keep in contact with the companies that you filled out offers for. Call them as soon as possible (not to pull the plug for no reason, you will lose your credit), but to have any questions you may have answered. Again whether you decide to continue on with the product or not is an individual choice. If you follow the TOS, you should have no trouble, regardless of your decision. However even though the offer site may give you the option to cancel immediately, you will probably run afoul with the incentive site. You will also miss out on some more money in #7.

#7- Evaluate the product trial in all seriousness and write a review. You can then use this on your own blog, or you can post it on a website specifically for reviews. There are content companies out there that will pay you for either on or the other method. It is relatively easy to find these companies with the help of Google. You also have the added option of making sure when you take your notes to consider finding out if the offer company has an affiliate program that you could incorporate into you reviews on your own website. People who simply call in and cancel, sometimes never even have the chance to see the product, costing them a constant income generator.

#6- Read through your emails, every one of them. Never assume that an email is simply generated from a paid for lead. No matter how thorough you may be, sometimes companies will "give you" another free trial membership to one of their affiliates, and you will need to read the TOS agreement for this new trial and deal with it accordingly.

#5- Do not just abandon your incentive based site. The administrators of these websites can be your best friend when you have a question or you are having difficulty with a company. Remember, they generate a substantial amount of income for these companies. Their pull can be just the leverage you need if you encounter a disconcerting situation.

#4- Be sure to return to your original goal or sending referral to the incentive site in exchange for your reward. You can use almost any method that you choose to market you referral link, except one. Spam is not a valid tactic at any juncture along the way on your road to riches. It almost inevitable will result in losing the farm. Social network sites and viral advertising solution are usually the best methods of free and low cost promotion of your link, and of course you can reenter the paid referral forums if you are unsuccessful at these methods, or simply want to get to your reward the fastest.

#3- Create your own website to house the various links that you begin to collect (you will surely do more than one now that you know the "dirty little secrets") and promote this website in venues that allow domains to be promoted but not referral links. This gives you options that are not readily saturated with competition, and if done right can bring you an endless, recurring supply of repeating income for those urls from incentive sites that do not require you to do more offers in order to get another reward.

#2- Many sites offer the choice between cash or product rewards for you to initially choose from. Do a little research on the retail value of the products that you may be able to get for your referral efforts. You might find that you can compound your profits by taking the electronics items or appliances and reselling them. Auction sites are a popular place to cheaply resell these items, but look around for place with a smaller competition base and less price discounting to maximize your effectiveness.

#1- Have fun. Do not try to go faster than you have to. Do not let other pressure you to complete the requirements of a website within a certain time frame in order to receive payment. avoid incentive sites that make you "reload" by doing extra offers or using a referral's efforts to again get an additional reward. These pressures make it harder for you to keep up with the pace of the information you need to sift through, and increase your chances of loosing your reward. The bottom line is that if you simply connect the dots and remember these 20 "dirty little secrets", this can be the easiest money you ever made.

We all need money on some level or other. You can't go through life without needing something you have to pay for. Whether it is the roof over your head or the clothes on your back, you need money to pay for it.

So how do you get it? You trade is what you do, trade what you have. Goods or services time or talent. On one level you trade dollars pesos and yen and on another level you trade your time. The real question is why aren't you trading something and if right now the only thing your trading is time how much is your time worth.

We no longer live in the industrial age where the wealth of a man was determined by brawn. We now live in the Information Age where a 25 year old can create a company that earns him 256 million dollars.

In this new information age you don't have to go to college just get connected by joining online communities. If any of you watched Star Trek this age is structured like the borg cube, a community wired together by machine. Different minds making one, what we call the internet. The only difference is that it is not with one mind, but as of this morning it was 1,262,032,697 Billion people/minds and growing phenomenally.

From 2000 to 2007 the internet has seen growth spurts in excess of 400%. This is the new gold rush where people are making from hundreds of thousands to millions a year. It is real the thing is that what has happened is that the way to make money with it has been lost in the barrage of information.

There are no secrets to making money on the internet it is simple just do this:

1. Find a Niche Market that no one is looking at
2. Create a product or sell someone else's
3. Create a website or free blog. I used www.Godaddy.com and www.blogger.com
4. Divert Traffic
a) PPC Pay Per Click
b) SEO Search engine optimize for Google & others
c) Write and submit articles
d) Online & offline press releases, Directories
e) Get links from other sites
f) Create and join affiliate promotions
g) Build your email list with an opt in form and pop ups

5 Convert the traffic into sales by:

A) Selling your own product
b) Building a relationship with your email list community use autoresponders
c) Offer Pay Per Action scenarios
d) Offer Pay Per lead scenarios
e) Promote Affiliate Programs
F) Host Content for income eg AdSense

Introduce a product for $49 then successive products moving from $99 to $199 to $499 To $999 to $1,999 to $5,000. You get the picture. Don't forget this is a gold rush, don't sell the gold sell the shovels you will make more money not competing as some would have you to believe.

It will not be overnight it is a business just like brick and mortar businesses it will take some time but it is up to you how quickly you want to do it. The faster you can get through the list the faster you will be able to work at home in your underwear at you own leisure

There you have it the in a nutshell - The Science of Making Money online. You are now on your way to make that first million on the internet.
