Hello and Welcome!

You stumble upon this website looking for work from home jobs and to learn how to make money working from home and make money online.

Let me be very clear right from the beginning that there are some authentic and legitimate work from home jobs but working from home and making money online is not at all that easy as it looks. There are loads of "Work from Home and Make Money Online" websites that will claim to be having some magic formula to make money online. Some of them will try to sell their money making magic formulas to you in the form of e-books. 99% of these kinds of websites are SCAMS! Yes, Work from Home Scams! If these e-books had all the secrets then I would have become a Billionaire by now. Use your brain! Be intelligent! Remember - There is no magic formula or easy ways to make money online. There is nothing called free money. Nothing in this world is free.

Before I proceed with the so called secrets to work from home and make money online, let me be very clear that in order to make any money online, you will need a website or a blog. Creating a website is not very expensive these days. A descent sized website of 50 MB space with good bandwidth can be obtained by paying something wround $ 20- $ 30. I have a couple of websites and paid only $ 48 for both of them. I was able to save some money on my website designing because I have well-to-do knowledge of Microsoft FrontPage and Dream Weaver (Website designing software) and was able to do my websites on my own.

In case you don't want to pay for a website, you can start a blog on Blogger or even start publishing articles on Hubpages. Both Blogger and Hubpages charge NO FEE and are Free to Join.

Let us now understand how to work from home and make money online.

Yes, publishing articles and placing ads on your website in the best and legitimate way to make money online. Here is how it works:

You publish articles and strategically place ads. People visit your website and if they see an ad that they find useful then they may click on it and you earn your share of revenue from these clicks. The amount of money that can be earned through clicks on ads varies from ad to ad. This is technically termed as "Pay Per Click" or PPC.

Here is a list of options according to preference that you may like to explore:

1. Google Adsense: Google Adsense delivers text and image ads to the authorized websites/ blogs depending on the content of the website. Small code is required to be pasted at proper locations on a webpage and Google automatically recognizes the page. This is by far the Best Option that one has today.

2. Kontera : Kontera technology reads your posts and turns certain words into ads. The ads are double underlined. If you hover your mouse over an underlined word an ad pops up. People may click on these ads and you earn money for every click.

3. Adbrite : Adsense doesn't allow showing their ads on blog with certain types of content, like adult and gambling. In this case you need Adbrite.

4. FeedBurner : FeedBurner is a great tool to monetize your RSS feed.

5. Blogads : You can use Blogads as an effective tool to have a better control over the advertisers in your blogs.

Go through sites like Amazon and eBay and develop ideas to publish articles on products sold on these sites. You article can provide information on one or more products or it can a Product Review.

Amazon.com : Amazon.com has an affiliate program which allows you to promote any one of their millions of products for them. Because they have so many products to offer, it should be easy for you to find ones which compliment your blog niche. In case of Amazon, you don't get paid on a pay-per-click basis. In order to receive a commission, the visitor to your blog must actually purchase the advertised product.

ebay.com : eBay is quite similar to Amazon.

Selling Advertising Space on your blog and website is the most common way people make money with blogs and websites. If your blog or website is great and generates large traffic, you can sell advertising space for people to put their ads on your blog and get paid.

Another very popular way to make money from your blog or website is by promoting Affiliate Programs. Affiliate links are provided by affiliate networks that will pay you a certain percentage of each sale made through your unique link. There are thousands of affiliate programs available Most of the affiliate programs are free to sign-up and very easy to implement.
