Medical Billing / Transcriptionist
2007-12-04 20:52:00
There a lot of ads out there on how you can work at home as a medical biller or medical transcriptionist. The software usually need runs around $150 - $300 and normally says a list of clients is provided.Unless you already have a medical billing background, or have done some kind of research, you know that you do have to be willing to work at this business. This can be time consuming and can take a while for you to start getting anywhere. Most medical billers that do work at home usually only work for the husbands / wives or there relatives.The ad normally states there is a list of clients that are wanting your services. This usually isn't true either. You will need to contact this great "list" and see if they are actually interested in your services. The list of your area includes doctors and doctor's office that need your service, but in fact, if you open the yellow pages they are usually the same ones in there.This oppurutunity is legit and can be rewarding for people that need...

Help the Kids!
2007-12-03 18:09:00
This is not a way to make money, this is simply some information that I have to get out. Some of you may know this but for all those that don't I am going to say it again. For the past year my fiancee has had hodgekins lymphoma cancer, which is why I started working from home in the first place. She is 18 and has gone through around 8 months of chemo and 2 months of radiation.She was just diagnosed again with hodgekins lymphoma 3 weeks ago and as of November 2 we have been in the hospital and I have not left her side. I have talked with parents that are here with there kids, some who I am sad to say will not make it. I have met some great supporters all over the world and I am hoping some of you will pass this message onto others.As of December 3, 2007, I am opening up a donation fund for the parents of these kids. All the money I collect is going to go into a fund and given to families at different hospitals to help them with what they are going through. The reason I am starting t...

Update on Data Entry Jobs!!
2007-12-03 17:44:00
Alright well as most of you know I don't support any products or ways to make money unless they work. I receieved an email from Selocan, a reader who has been looking for data entry jobs for awhile. I have only tried a few of these programs only to lose around $350. So instead of sending you to a hundred sites that I haven't tried only for you to get mad at me, what I did was I went on another search for a data entry program. 150 Pages and $200 later here I am.Some legit programs you do have to pay for in order to get access to there members area. I actually paid my brother to help me try out some of these programs as well. Many of these companies promise hundreds and thousands of dollars a day for a little bit of work. Obviously this is not true, or i would be typing there instead of here as would most people.Out of all the programs I have tried there are two that have stood out above the rest. work-at-home-data-entry.com is a really good site. It doesn't promise thousands of do...

Gambling
2007-12-02 04:43:00
Gambling is a good way to make money...but also a good way to lose money. There are many many places out there to play for poker online for money. I actually play for maybe an hour or two every night.If you have an addiction problem do not start playing. If you are risking the rent money, gas money, or any other bills to play, STOP PLAYING! I take $20 every sunday and put it into my account. If i lose it all, I play with play money, if i am even or up on sunday, I don't put anymore in. I play full tilt poker because I do have an addictive personality(see gaming for money below :D ). But i have learned to control it. People are attracted to gambling because they can risk a little and gain alot. But, when you risk a little, and a little more, than a little more, it becomes a lot. If you have never played poker, or even if you have played before, I would recommend playing for a week or two using only play money. That way if you lose, it doesn't matter.There are tournaments and such y...

Playing games for money
2007-12-02 04:31:00
Everyone likes games right? Well there are ways for you to play games for cash! However, its hard to come across legit offers. If you want to play games for more than a few cents, you will have to start training.Playing games for money may sound like a fun idea, but its hard. To actually get all the good cash and prizes you will need to compete in tournaments and the like. I'm not saying you can't do it, im saying it will be hard. Personally, when Halo first came out I actually won a tournament in Pennsylvania with one of my friends. We got $3000 in cash and a 40" plasma TV.You can find tournaments online for a lot of games. Some will give cash and prizes to the winner(s). A few games that have been played for serious cash: Halo, Counterstrike, Everquest, and World of Warcraft. The first two are first person shooter games. Meaning your playing in first person (through the eyes of the character) and its a shooting game (you blow shit up).These are easy to see how you make money in:...

Writing for money
2007-11-29 08:49:00
Another great way to make some extra money is to begin writing some articles and submitting them for money. This is a fantastic way to make money if you love to write, but anyone can do it.You don't have to be the greatest write to make money doing this, and many people make a lot of money each month doing this. Your articles should be about 300-1000 words which many people can do in 30 - 40 min. Most people can usually write about 15 articles a day like this.There are two very good places you can start making money almost immediately. Associated Content is more of a beginners place to start writing. You will make money there and if you don't write a lot this might be a good place to start. As they do pay less, but they do accept articles of lesser quality than other places.You like to write but can't think of anything to write about that people will be interested it? Simple solution. Write about anything! Try to write about things that you have personal experience or a good know...

Carbon Copy Pro
2007-11-27 18:17:00
I just started using Carb on Copy PRO this week so I don't have any hard numbers yet but so far I'm very pleased with the number of leads and applications that have come in. One of my Consultants had his first sale after only about 45 site visitors (which resulted in 5 leads, 1 application, and 1 sale). It's my understanding that the company has had more sales in the 3 weeks or so since CarbonCopyPRO has been in full swing than during any other 3-week period in the company's history. Needless to say, I think the reverse funnel marketing strategy is a big success. Sure, it won't last forever but for now it's highly effective and because the possibilities are virtually endless for tweaking the marketing approach, I suspect that savvy marketers will benefit from it for a long time.I know it's been a very effective marketing system for you and your RFS/GRN colleagues and I have no doubt it will continue to produce great results! Of course, the fact that many good people like yoursel...

Blogging for Money
2007-11-25 21:29:00
First of all you need to create your blog. A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. For example, this is a blog. Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Choose your topic of discussion and publish it. Now that you have one, you have the power to let the virtual community see and read your blog. Another feature of a blog is its ability to give the readers the opportunity to leave comments, making it very interactive in nature. Making money through blogging is all about having more people visit your site and read your blog. First and foremost, you can encourage people to visit your blog, but the numbers won't mean anything if you don't keep them coming back for more. You'...

Assembling Items at Home
2007-11-24 05:35:00
Just like data entry jobs, 90% of the work at home jobs are a scam. They also require that you send them a fee for startup - usually $19 - $97. Well I for one am not going to pay to assemble something for anyone. Normally what happens in these types of scams is this - You send in your start up fee, you will get an item in return to assemble. Sometimes you may also be required to purchase more items such as a sewing machine other items from the company, thus you lose more money to them. You will send it back and instead of receiving a payment, you will get a letter saying the item you made is not up to standards or it was damaged and you will not be getting paid. Now I don't want you to go think, oh I am good at assembling things, it won't be a problem. Your right it won't be a problem for you to assemble these items, just a problem to get paid. You never get paid, I don't care if you made the greatest work ever. I know there are few assembly jobs out there that are real ...

Envelope Stuffing
2007-11-24 05:16:00
Want to make $3 - $10 for every envelope you stuff and mail out. Well I do to. An envelope takes around 15 seconds to stuff. $5 per envelope for an hour would make you $540 an hour. Do you know who makes $540 an hour? Working 40 hours a week that would make you a 7 figure income. Wouldn't a 7 figure income be nice for stuffing envelopes? I'd settle for $2 to stuff envelopes, but lets face it...it's not going to happen. All those envelope stuffing ads you see in newspapers, magazines, ads on google/yahoo. They don't work. Period. You send off your $27 - $49 +$5 or $6 for "express shipping" and what do you get in return? They promise you thousands of dollars a week and a 6 figure income to work a few hours a week, so what do you really get in return? Usually, nothing, sometimes ads to place in the newspaper or online and do what you just did, get scammed. So in short, ask yourself these 2 questions:1) Do you even know anyone who stuffs envelopes from home? No you dont because...

Pyramid Schemes
2007-11-24 01:48:00
Turn $6 into $15000 in 30 days? How about you turn your $6 into a $50,000 fine and perhaps a jail sentence? The famous pyramid schemes using mail or paypal to send $6 to 6 people than place your name on the list. They work like this:1) Name2) Name3) Name4) Name5) Name6) Name Some people don't like that because they don't see one dollar as profitable, so they will redo this and place 3 names on the list, usually three of there own names, and say mail $2 to each person. You would send 1$ to each name on the list, then bump everyone up one and your become number 6. Then you post your new list in 200 message boards hoping that people read it, send you money then do the same. Now first off, why would i send you money if i can just add my name, second why cant i delete it off and add 6 of my names, third, if i can do that, why can't anyone else? Which is why these do not work, first, they are illegal no matter how much people try to make you think they are not. Paypal will delete...

Buying and Reselling Products
2007-11-24 01:12:00
Another type of home based income is buying and than reselling. You can find a lot of products out there that you can buy and than resell using your own website. You can find a lot of products by going to google and typing in 100% resale rights. Some programs you can buy for around $1.00 - $20.00 and resale for the same amount so you get your profit back after one sale. The problem with this is sometimes you can't find anyone that wants what you bought. The easiest way to get sales is to start off by doing a little bit of free marketing. Sending out free solo email ads are a great way to get your first one or two sales. After that you can afford to send out targeted email lists to make even more sales. I have had some huge success re-selling programs. Adblasters are a very common product to resell, in my opinion. The reason i like reselling these are because when you buy them, you have even more options to use to do your marketing. Lets say you buy www.kashadv...

Paid Surveys
2007-11-24 00:26:00
Paid surveys are not really all they are cracked up to be. Any ad posting that says you can make $200 a day doing surveys, is a scam. You have to be accepted in order to get paid to do the surveys, and the surveys come around every so often. There is no way you can make $200 a day doing surveys. Yes, sometimes you can get one that may be worth $100 or $200, not every day, not even every month but once in awhile it does happen. Here is a list I have compiled of the top 10 free survey site and also some other paid survey companies that I have had a good reputable time using. The free ones are nice, and the non-free ones pay a little more and have more surveys to complete, normally you don't want to pay to work, but in some cases you have to spend money to make money.Free Sites:1. http://www.globaltestmarket.com – I make an average of $120/month. Some of their surveys take some time to complete. You have to be fast and start their surveys immediately. Make sure you check your email ...

Affiliate Marketing
2007-11-23 20:00:00
First, please do not go spend $10-$150 on a book about affiliate marketing. Yes affiliate marketing is a very profitable business, but you do not need to pay for a book on how to do it. The process is actually very simple:1) You find a product you want to promote2) You use a referral ID to promote the product3) You advertise and everytime someone uses your link to make a sale you get paid There, if you want, give me $50 and I will repeat it. What you really want to spend money on is marketing and advertising. Which again, do not buy an E-book about it. If you go to Google and Yahoo and type in Marketing and Advertising, you can download free ebooks and blogs will even show you the most successful ways to market your product. The most common affiliate marketing sites are paydotcom and clickbank.com . Affiliate Marketing is a very easy way to make money using $0. You can promote a product and use free advertising to market it. When you make a few sales, or if you can't g...

Project Payday
2007-11-23 19:41:00
Project Payday is a very interesting idea to run. There is no cost to you and you can literally see money in your paypal account in as little as 20 min from the time you start. What this program does is utilize freesites. Everyone has seen those, get a free xbox, or free ipod ads. This is actually how most of those sites work:1) You sign up for a prize2) You complete "offers" usually between 1-4 before you are marked as done, a.k.a "green"3) You refer friends to steps 1 and 2, but they are referred under you.Now you may be thinking, I don't want to pester my friends to do this, or how would I make money doing this. These are simple questions as I don't like to bug my friends either. There are multiple forums out there that are promoting freesites like this, (www.freelunchroom.com, www.freebiesociety.com) just to name 2. You can do a number of things in order to make money like this. You can have people pay you to complete sites for them, and can make anywhere from $15-$100 per sit...

Data Entry Jobs
2007-11-23 18:11:00
Around 98% of online Data Entry Jobs are scams. They can usually cost $49.99 - $299.99. They are completely bogus. If you can make $1,300 a day online typing small forms, wouldn't everyone be doing it? Wouldn't there be a lot more rich people in the world? Think of it this way, if it sounds to good to be true than it probably is. If you are looking at Data Entry Jobs online then look no further...because your just going to waste your money. I myself have tried them and you know what you get for $50? An e-book, not just any e-book though. For the price of $50, you get an e-book you could have downloaded for free. Do not trust any "job" online where you have to pay to get started. If you were to work at McDonalds, they don't ask you to pay them to start there do they? Do not trust any Online Data Entry Job no matter how legitimate it may seem.I give all these programs a 0 out of 5 because they are all terrible. If I could make $10,000 a week typing small ads, would there be anyone ...

20/20 Unlimited
2007-11-23 17:18:00
20/20 Unlimited , This is a new program. When you sign up for the site you pay $20 to your sponsor (randomly chosen or link from them), and than $20 to there sponsor. In addition you also pay $9.99 to the site administrator. You pay your $49 and then you are a member of there service. When someone signs up under you, you make $20, and than when they sign someone up, you will make an additonal $20. This program is quite new, coming out in September 2007 I believe. The program claims to send you $20 again and again with no marketing or anything. Well yes, you can get $20 again and again, the system actually rotates who you pay when someone signs up, but if you want to make money you have to advertise...alot. The trick to this program is to get your site out there to try and get a few referrals, which in turn they will advertise and make you some money as well. There is also "booster packs" you can sign up for which will make you residual income when your referrals sign up fo...

This program is actually filled with some great information. It offers a free e-book download which tells you some very useful information. The oppurtunity is great because the only thing that you have to worry about is marketing your link, however, marketing your link can be difficult enough. Here is the site to download the free e-book: http://www.income4beginners.com/. I downloaded it and even used the system, and it took about 2 weeks to see any money come in, but I made over $200 in two weeks. Its not great but for 2 weeks its not bad at all. Marketing your link is probably the biggest thing you have to worry about with this program. There are many free ways to market your link such as usfreeads.com but the best way to actually see any money coming in is to use email marketing (where you buy emails to send out your link). The ebook comes with standard email marketing reports already written for you, the only thing you have to do is send them out. Total Cost of Pr...
