Cash Sweepstakes and other Online Possibilities
Mar 19th
As always, I’m on the lookout for ways to make money online. Most of them require quite a learning curve. I’ve bought people’s products and spent months learning the ins and outs of the software, doing just what I’ve been told, and then, after months of effort, and added expense, find out that it’s going to cost me even more to continue, without getting anything in return first. It’s a long haul.
There are ways to make money out there, and they do show themselves if you keep at it. You can always sell someone else’s products as an affiliate, and that’s often the first thing you’ll hear about when you start to look. The problem with that is the word “sell”. That one word is what internet marketing is all about, and it encompasses absolutely everything on the net.
People are making money via affiliate products, and by marketing their own stuff, and by writing articles for pay, and even taking surveys. The internet even has a whole lot of legitimate cash sweepstakes out there can can be taken advantage of. You could set up adsense websites, and if you have enough of them, you might actually make a buck. Or, your could just devote your time to a blog, and then, when you have lots of traffic, sell advertising space on it.
I know of one lady who travels around the world recording sounds of nature, and then she sells the recordings online. Pretty cool business. Keep your eyes open, and if you come across a unique way to make money online, let me know, I’m all ears!
Working From Home
Mar 14th
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be able to work from home. I guess I am a hopeless entrepreneur. I don’t like being told when to be somewhere, or that I have to sit in a certain place, for a certain amount of time. I resist with all my strength when someone trys to tell me when I can answer the call of Mother Nature, and when I cannot.
Perhaps it is in my blood. Great grandfathers on both sides of my family had their own businesses. My grandmother ran her own business, (she had a group of hair salons) both grandfathers ran their own businesses, (one was a carpenter, and the other was a Doctor) and my father had his own business (as a Doctor also). It might not be in me to do anything else. Anyway, needless to say, I have had a life goal of making sure that the 9-5 life was not mine. So I’ve spent quite a lot of time online and off, searching out ways to make a go of it on my own.
I have several businees started, and chugging along, but I’m interested I finding out what you guys are doing. Have you found any fairly simple, yet effective, ways to make income in unusual ways? How’s that working for you?
