Work At Home Based Business Blog

Archive for October, 2007

Hi:

 My name is Steven Wagenheim. You may or may not nkow who I am. Fame, or lack of it, is a relative thing. So let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I used to work a regular job like most people as a QA Manager. I got laid off because of downsizing. I finally decided that I had enough of the corporate rat race. So I gave up looking for another job, even though I was making $50,000 a year doing what I was doing.

Today, I have been marketing online as a writer and product developer for about 4 1/2 years. I make about $10,000 a month doing a number of things. Over the course of that time, I have come to realize many things. Some may be obvious to you, depending on how far along you are in your Internet marketing career, and others may be very foreign to you.

Either way, I will be sharing with you something a little different than what you’re used to finding on these blogs. We’re so inundated with “how to” articles that people have forgotten how to think for themselves and really be creative. We are so “do it by numbers” these days that creative thought almost goes out the window.

Well, I’m going to try to inject a little creative thought and some odd ramblings in these pages. If you’re looking for topics on how to set up your Adwords account or how to write a resource box for your Ezine Articles submissions, you’ll probably do better looking elsewhere, though I will occassionally touch on an odd tip here and there. But for the most part, what you will be getting from me will be on a more deeper level. I can’t explain it any better than that for now. You’ll just have to come back next week (this will be a weekly series) and see what I have to offer.

I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Sincerely,

Steven Wagenheim

Got good typing skills? Then you may want to consider a work at home typing online. There are plenty of companies of which you can lend your skills to by performing clerical duties. However, before you leave your day job to begin working at home typing online consider the following information.

What will I be doing?

Work at home typing online jobs includes data entry, providing clerical services and customer services. Work at home typing online jobs also includes information processing and ad typing. If you are self motivated and have exceptional speed and accuracy then a home typing online career may be for you.

Success comes with knowing what you want to do. Those with skills in spread sheet and word processing will benefit in searching for work at home typing online jobs that request clerical duties such as medical billing. Previous experience is always a bonus.

Work at home typing online jobs normally entails setting up and preparing letters, reports and other text material. They may also include preparing neat and error free copies of previously written material by other clerical or managerial workers. Work at home typists may type addresses or headings on form letters. Work at home typing online jobs may also include answering incoming mail and processing orders.

On a more creative angle, if typing out addresses is not your idea of meaning full work, some companies require work at home typists to type out articles, sometimes just a paragraph in length or small classified ads to place all over the internet. Companies will usually offer training and information on where to post the ads and how to answer queries.

Ad typing on the other hand is based on luck. For most companies you get paid a commission when someone buys the products being advertised from your posted ad. The more you sell he more you make. There are a number of very wealthy work at home typists.

How do I avoid scams?

The number one best way to avoid a scam is to look through the hype and look carefully at the company. Most ads in the classifieds are scams. They claim that for a starter fee they will teach you how to make $500 or more. If the company asks for a fee of any kind contact them to ask what exactly you are paying for. Never do business with a company that does not provide contact information or that fails to answer your questions in a week’s period.

Legitimate work at home typing online companies have a real person you can talk to who is willing to answer all your questions. If the company you join provides a list of companies to work for call up the companies on that list and ask them if they are recruiting. You may discover that most of the companies don’t even know they are on the list.

Another scam is having ad typists type out ads for a non-existent product. This is an illegal scam that could have you facing serious charges if you get involved. Ask the merchant for a product sample. You may have to buy the product yourself just to be on the safe side.

Work at home typing online jobs can be a great way to make money while spending time with your family. Just be sure you know what type of job you want and that the company you work with is legitimate.

The internet has created many opportunities for both legitimate online business and online scams. The truth is there is no such thing as a no effort, get rich quick opportunity. The information online is endless and during our search for the right opportunity, we were bombarded with tons of useful and useless opportunities. But how do you decide what’s real and what’s not, the answer: due diligence. We took our time and looked at multiple online businesses, until we found one that fit our budget, time and financial goals. What worked and was right for me may not be a good fit for you.

Take a fair and honest look at whatever opportunity you are considering. If it is an MLM type opportunity, do you have the time at night to get on the phone and spend a few hours speaking with your potential customers. If you are considering selling products online, is there a large and diverse product base. What’s the profit margin, if you are going to sell a product that costs less than $100.00 what will it cost you in advertising to produce one customer. If the product costs $100.00 and you will make $20.00 after advertising, it would take 50 customers to make $1,000. But, suppose your product or service sells for $1,000 and it costs you $200 in advertising for each sale. That’s a $1,600 profit with only 2 sales, Just one of many things to consider.

Advertising is a must. Just because you build a website and have a fantastic product will not bring people or sales to your website. So, don’t believe that just because you finally found your online business that people will find you. You need to drive them to you. That being said, while searching for a online business, you must also look for one that will assist you with great marketing ideas to make those sales. Lets face it you are looking to make money, and if you can’t sell, you won’t make any money. The only way to make sales is to let customers see what you have to offer.

The opportunity to make a serious income online is definitely a reality for many entrepreneurs. It can be your reality as well; don’t get sucked into something the first time that you see it. Look to talk to someone involved in the business. Get on the mailing list and see what they have to offer. If you don’t have time to make calls, find an opportunity that will make the calls for you, if the profit margin is not attractive, pass and find one that is. If it requires too much technical experience, find one that does not. There is something right for you in the internet world, You just need to find what it is. As long as you are not lazy, do your due diligence and give it an honest effort, you can make money.

Most importantly, if you never take any action, you will never make any money. Looking all day and never taking a chance on something you’re attracted to, will leave you where you are now. There are no sure things, the only thing you can be sure of is your desire and commitment, and if you have that, go out and claim what’s yours.

About the author:

You may have seen a new product called, “Affiliate Empire Incorporated” being promoted online recently. I had the pleasure of being one of the first to get a copy of it, so I decided to write up an honest review of it to post here…

First off, I want to say that it is a very good product full of great information that will certainly make you money if you take action on what you learn.

I have used many of the techniques in the past few years to build a very successful online home based business. I currently work at home and make my entire living online using many of the same strategies taught in the Affiliate Empire ebook. The information is solid and the techniques will allow you to make money from home, there is no doubt about that.

One thing I don’t like about the Affiliate Empire is that the sales letter has a little too much hype for my taste. They make it sound like making money online is easy and I can tell you that it absolutely is not. Yes, the product does deliver on its promises but you will not be earning a full time income any time soon. That’s just the honest truth of internet marketing… it takes time and work, hardly anyone makes money right away.

This product is definitely aimed at newbie’s. If you are just getting started on your home based business or have been struggling to make money online then the Affiliate Empire can certainly help you get on track. But if you are already an advanced internet marketer making a decent living online, you will not benefit much from this product.

Overall, I give the Affiliate Empire 7 out of 10 rating. It is very educational and loaded with usable information. However, it is not the best written ebook I have ever seen and there is a little too much hype for me.

I do recommend it to aspiring home based business entrepreneurs and those looking to work at home. This is a real money making product with very good potential. It’s more than worth the price!

Take a look: Affiliate Empire Incorporated.
