Basic steps to wealth

Go to Google and type make money from home. You will get around 50 million of search result. Does that mean there are 50 million opportuntiies to earn from home? Unlikely. 45 million of them are probably scams and 4 million are not worth the effort.

Still there is probably at least a million of genuine opportunities to make money from your home. It's a must to explore them if you want to earn alternative income or quit your job.

Here are the most viable ways to make money from home:


Freelancing and Telecommuting


If you are an expert in something this is the first must-look opportunity. A good programmer, web designer, architect or a writer can make good income by freelancing. A lot of experts make more than they would get in a well paying company and some even start a business as an expansion of their freelancing.

Freelancing is not only an IT business like many people think. It is appropriate for any profession that can be done remotely. You can consider freelancing if you work in some of the following fields: Website or graphic design, Marketing, Programming, Multimedia, Writing, Translation, Support, Legal Services, Medical Consulting, Sales, Telemarketing, ERP/CRM, Fashion Design, Interior Design, Landscape Design, Photography, Videography, Business Consulting, Networking, Engineering, CAD/CAM design and architecture, Accounting etc.

As you see almost every profession can be freelanced.

Telecommuting is something very similar to freelancing but usually we call it that when you work remotely for a single company or customer instead of many customers.

Home Based Business


Along with the great development of communications, internet, broadbant connection, phone and wi-fi services there are more and more opportunities to run your own business from home.

Many kinds of business can be run from your home - just see at the freelancing opportunities. Each of these activities can be grown at the level where you don't work yourself but manage your own company from home and hire people (or even outsource to freelancers!) who do the actual work.

Even physical business can be done from home. You can build small crafts or any other little items that don't require special equipment.

Just like freelancing, home based business is a very large topic, so expect soon the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Home Based Business.



Affiliate Marketing


Everyone in the "make money online" business is crazy about affiliate marketing. What is it exactly? Affiliate marketing is a simple but very powerful concept. The vendors/merchants of various products and services offer commission payments to the affiliates for sending sales to their stores. For example a merchant of t-shirts can offer you 10% of every sale that is made to a buyer coming to your website. The merchants provide the affiliates with special links and banners that they cna use on their websites and blogs and through this links they can see where each buyer comes from.

You can earn money by affiliate marketing if you start a blog or website and promote products on it. You don't need to do any selling, packing or shipping. All you have to do is to promote - the merchants take care for everything else.

If you want to make money with affiliate marketing you need to create websites that attract targeted visitors. Then you need to provide those visitors with quality content (reviews, tutorials, guides) so they can decide to buy some of the products that you advertise.

Succeeding with affiliate marketing requires research and hard work. Soon we'll publish here the Ultimate beginners guide to affiliate marketing.

Making Money With Blogs And Websites


You can make money with blogs or websites if you use affiliate marketing. But there are also more ways to do it:
  • Adsense and similar PPC ads
  • Text link ads
  • Direct ad selling
  • Paid reviews
  • Consulting and other services you can offer related to your website


The key point in making money with websites is to create good sites that receive quality targeted visitors. This can happen by achieving goog placement in the search engines, by receiving links in related sites, by buying advertisement or by building a subscriber's list. Each of these activities deserves its own guide and such will be pulished here soon.

Gambling And Trading


Day trading and gamblings are one of the overrated ways to make money from home. If you search online you will find a lot of sites offering you systems that are supposed to make you rich by day trading or gambling. Unfortunately most of them don't work.

However it is possible to make money trading or gambling by developing self discipline, learning and working hard. A realistic return on investment you could aim for with day trading (and specially forex trading) is 3% - 4% per month. Some top class traders can achieve better results, but it's unlikely that you'll achieve that yourself without investing many years into education.

Soon we'll have a guide on making money with trading and gambling which will introduce you to the basic concepts and will share you some secrets that may help you break the system.

Get Paid To


"Get Paid To" is referred to activities similar to freelancing with the difference that it does not take any expert knowledge. For example there are online programs that pay you to click on ads, read emails, fill surveys, post on forums or surf websites. The payment for such activities of course is lower than what you can receive for doing expect work. The advantage of "Get paid to" is that it is easy and affordable way for making money at home for everyone.
If you are looking for serious income, then investing, web entrpreneurship, freelancing or gambling may help you achieve your dream. Some lucky and comitted people even succeed to become incredibly rich by any of these activities.

If you need to make just few extra bucks, don't have special skills or don't want to do anything challenging or risky, there is a bullet proof option for you. "Get paid to" (GPT) programs give everyone (and I mean really everyone) with a computer and internet connection to earn some extra money doing really easy things. Sounds interesting? Read the disclaimer before going further:

Disclaimer


When something is easy and everyone can do it, it's not too profitable. "Get paid to" programs are by no means a big earner. Depending on what programs you find and how much time you devote to them, you will earn from "few bucks" to "make living" (at best). The bottom line is that all you risk with is your time. No other money making activity can offer you such an easy and risk-free method to profit.

Sub-disclaimer: There are many scams in the GPT business. They won't cost you money (unless you are dumb enough to sign for a paid GPT program), but may have you work for free. Nothing in life is really risk free. But do you really call clicking on banners or reading mails "work"?


So What Are Get Paid To Programs And Who Runs Them?


The real GPT programs are free to join and offer you opportunities to earn money by clicking on links, reading emails, signing up in websites, surfing websites, typing, chatting, posting on forums, filling surveys etc.

What's the deal of a such program owner? Usually they use your action to sell advertising with questionable quality but low price. Some use the work of their "employees" to give life to forums, dating sites and social networks so these sites can later attract geniune users and advertisers (since no one wants to join an empty network site). The paid survey programs usually sell the data to market research companies. There are also companies which pay you to surf websites. Your "surfing" is sold as traffic to webmasters.

Some of the business of such programs is of very questionable quality while other (like surveys) is just fine. In both cases however there is nothing illegal or gray unless of course the service does not pay you as promised.

Types Of GPT Programs


The niche of GPT programs is quite big although the amount of money rolling in it is probably not that impressive. Some types of GPT programs can actually make more serious money while most bring just pennies. Anyway, here are the most common types of GPT programs that you can find online:
  • Paid to click (PTC). You get paid to click on ads. Usually the pay is from $0.001 to $0.01. Very hard way to earn money. It's understandable, because the advertisers who buy suck clicks have very little conversion if any at all.
  • Paid to surf (PTS). These GPT programs should not be confused with the "autosurf" pyramid schemes. In PTS programs you don't need to "invest" any money. You get paid to surf websites. Usually the payment rates are similar to PTC programs
  • Paid to read emails (PTR) These programs usually pay much better than PTC and PTS - 5 - 20 cents per email. But they usually send only few emails per day. Still if you sign up for 10 such programs and read all the mails you could eventually make $100 or so per month. Slightly better than the previous two types
  • Paid to take surveys. Taking paid surveys is a serious business but unfortunately there are many fraudulend companies which will ask you for sigup fee and then don't pay you for takign the surveys. It's possible to make living from legit surveys because they are really useful for the adverisers. However very often the survey companies won't accept you if you are not USA citizen.
  • Paid to type (PTT) These programs involve actual work and real payment, just like the paid survey programs. You are given simple typing jobs (filling forms, schedulers etc) and get paid reasoinably low but much better than PTC, PTR and PTS programs. Unfortunately finding real PTT programs with available positions is not very easy.
  • Paid to shop (Mystery Shopping Jobs).
    These are supposed to be great way to make money and to let you earn by shopping. Supposingly the companies who pay for that are doing it because they want to research what people are shopping, eating at restaurants etc. Unfortunately the things which are too good to be true, usually are not. Most of these programs are scams and the few that are real will just pay you pennies. It's unlikely that you would make good money this way.


"Get paid to" programs are a way to make some extra money for investing if your regular income only covers your expenses. With some luck and hard work you could make living by GPT, but that would probably be quite miserable. Consider GPT as an option, but don't rely on such programs to feed you and your family.

It is possible to make money from home and earn supplemental income and even quit your job. It takes some time, knowledge and patience but is pretty doable. Don't let the sceptics make you put your dreams off. Read the guides on this website and you'll break it.
