Work At Home Typing Jobs

It is important to find legitimate work at home jobs online. So to do this you must avoid sponsored advertisements that say you can make money from home with typing jobs.

Most of the time they want you to place ads for them on a classified ad site. You only get paid if someone sign-ups to do the same thing you are doing which is placing ads all over the internet.

There are real type at home careers and they have to do with writing articles on directories. The part that is usually left out is the fact that this is not a job but more like a freelance gig.

You will need to have a place to send traffic in order to make money. So if you like blogger or free sites like triond or xomba you can write small articles on a directory and place a link back to your profile on a free writing site.

Another option is to promote affiliate products on your own self hosted wordpress blog or on a free blog. Sign up with linkshare or commission junction. Find a product you want to promote and  then write an article about it.

On the blog you will want to place banners around the content and then write on subjects that people are searching for online. Just remember that most typist jobs do not exist, it is just a clever way to get people to do freelance writing gigs or to place ads for blogs.

You can start your own typing job by becoming an affiliate marketer for other peoples products. The best kind is providing book reviews or movie reviews.

How it works is that you will type up your opinion about the ebook you just read on kindle or a dvd you just watched from amazon.

You can set up your own blog or you can use sites like gather or helium to write a review. Depending on how much traffic you attract you will get paid per view or paid per impression.

Real jobs will not ask for upfront money to get started and they will not require you to join a membership site. Just remember when it comes to the internet companies who really need to hire employees will require a job application and then provide a job interview from a select few of candidates.

If a site is always hiring and requires you pay for a list of open freelance positions you will be wasting your time and money because most of those listings can be found for free on ifreelance or gofreelance.com

How to Make Money Stuffing Envelopes

I thought I would write about the topic of stuffing envelopes from home. Most of the time the word business opportunity is not mentioned but instead the word job, career or work at home is used. Remember you do not have to pay for a job. That is the first thing that you should keep in mind.

Second you have to analyze how your going to make money. Is it going to be salaried, hourly, commission based, or on retainer for each project completed.

How will you get paid?

Freelance work is not the same as a regular paid job. As a person who is paid by how much they produce is usually not going to be very steady. Stuffing envelopes is not a career, instead it is a opportunity to make money by sending out marketing material to a mailing list.

The goal is to get as many people on the mailing list to reciprocate and start stuffing envelopes and sending them out as well to promote products for a company.

Usually you will get paid when someone signs up for the product that is being sold in the marketing material that you just mailed out. The more letters you are able to mail the more money you can make.

The downside is you usually have to purchase the stamps an the envelopes and pay for shipping them out which will eat into your profits. Plus if you are smart about it you will soon realize you can send out stamped letters for your own business.

Start  your own envelope stuffing business

Find a product you want to promote and then go online and find a company that sells names and addresses on a mailing list of individuals who are interested in a business opportunity.

Then hire a copywriter to write a convincing sales letter to send to the list of people. The goal is to get as many people as possible to purchase your affiliate product.

If you choose to do it this way you will cut out the middleman and start earning 100% of the profits minus the cost of your advertising budget. If you are reading an advertisement found in a make money from home magazine you will see plenty of offers for you to make money stuffing envelopes.

Just remember that you will only get paid if you make a sale and you are not earning money from home for the time spent stuffing the envelopes which can be very time consuming.

Sometimes you may be required to place similar ads in the classifieds to get more people to do what your doing. If you are not required to fill out a 1099 then you are not hired for a job.

Things to look for in a work at home position

If you are unable to contact the person who is offering the job and they list a mailbox instead of a physical address more than likely the only person making any money is the mail order business not you.

To avoid getting scammed by work at home opportunities is to remember you can not make money if you have to spend money to get started. The starter kit or processing fee is part of the scam to get money out of people who want to make lots of money fast with little effort.

Sending a self addressed stamped envelope to people on a mailing list is just a way for you to promote another companies products and services for free, basically you are paying to be an affiliate.

Legitimate mail order money maker

The direct mail business is a big one and can earn lots of income if done properly. First of all you will need to learn how to market. It will requires being a good sales person and being able to write a influential sales letters.

Also it will require a advertising budget to start with so if you are broke, strapped or on a shoe-string budget you will not be able to make enough money to break even or make a profit to live off of.
