So you are looking for a way to supplement your income while at the same time looking after the kids at home.  Depending on your circumstances there are a few different working from home opportunities available to you.

First of all it is highly unlikely you will find any actual “employment” that will give you a part time job at home.  Most people working at home are doing so because they have started their own little business.  Don’t think this is too hard for you to do as you would be surprised at how easy it really is.

Now if you are a stay at home Mom, what kind are you?  Do you ever have any time where the kids aren’t around that would enable you to go out and do a little bit of work?  Or do you have a baby and therefore any work you undertake MUST be done from the house.

For the Moms that have some time that allows them to leave the home there are many more options open to you.  Perhaps one of the easiest is to offer cleaning or housekeeping services.  You could target the more affluent areas where everyone works and the householders have no time to clean for themselves or the retired and elderly areas.

This can be a very quick way to get some instant work as people who are looking for such a service are very likely to hire you right away.  If you are in a position to undertake this type of part time work you could start by advertising in free places where these type of clientele frequent.

For older people the post office is a good place to put an ad in the window or something like that.  Some may charge you a small fee like $1 per week or month.   Very reasonable advertising cost and can result in some work very quickly.  You could also print up some flyers and distribute them in the retirement areas nearby your home or if you have a car you could venture out even further.

It would be best to knock the doors and speak to the people face to face as apposed to dropping the flyer in the mailbox.   If you don’t speak to the potential client then your flyer will very likely end up in the garbage.  However speaking face to face with them enables them to see who you are and will make a lasting impression upon them as having someone come into your home and clean is a little daunting for many.  They want to be sure they are comfortable with you and a flyer will not enable them to see if you meet those requirements or not.

The same can be done if you are targeting the more well to do clientele.  However the time of day you canvas will likely have to be well picked as they are much less likely to be home at certain times.  Where you advertise as well can be harder as these type of people don’t tend to spend much time gazing at window ads.  They are pushed for time so they get in and out of the shops as quickly as possible.

Another nice thing about cleaning work is that your name and reputation tend to spread like wild fire.  Once you have a few clients you will find they quickly recommend you to friends and soon you will have too much work.  Be sure not to under price yourself or be too cheap as it’s very hard to raise prices later.  When people recommend you they will be sure to tell their friends what your rates are so you won’t be able to raise your price for those new customers.

It’s not just cleaning services you could offer but anything really that these type of people need.  It just so happens that cleaning is one of the most likely required services by many.  Ironing services are also popular in some places.

Now if you happen to be a real stay at home Mom i.e. there’s no way you can leave the house and all work must be done from home, there are still some legitimate work from home opportunities available to you.

If you happen to have any skills be sure to try and market these skills ie sewing or the like.   Again for this you will need to advertise.  You could offer drop off and pick up laundry or ironing services.  People usually prefer someone come to their home for this, but that doesn’t rule out the possiblity that some are willing to bring the work to you in order to save a little bit of money.  Because drop off and pick up are naturally much cheaper than having someone come to your home and do it.

Further, some people may not like having strangers in their home and therefore wouldn’t even consider an on site service at all.  These are the perfect customers for working from home Moms.

Apart from these manual services there are also a few free legitimate work from home opportunities that you can do using your computer.  If you are able to write an article about a certain topic, or any topic, there are many people out there that will pay you money to be a “Ghost Writer”.  They basically give you a topic to write about and you come up with something unique based on that topic.  The length of the article will depend upon the customer, and the amount you earn is completely up to you.

However, keep in mind the competition is also pretty fierce as there are a lot of other stay at home moms and other people doing the very same thing.  Further, if you don’t have a reputation or experience it’s going to be very difficult to get any writing work.  So in the beginning you will very likely have to charge very low rates, maybe even work for as little as $1 per hour just to get your foot in the door and some part time work coming your way.

The work itself isn’t that hard, but actually getting the customers and the work will be very hard.  If you want to try you can join some websites that connect writers to the people who want the content.  You may have to give a portion of the fee to the website, but you will still make money regardless and the work you get from the client after the fact might be fee free.

If the above doesn’t appeal to you then you could try the other legitimate no fee work from home for free opportunity I talk about on this site.  Just click that link to read more as there is no point in me repeating the info here.  It doesn’t require you to get any customers so that’s nice but the work itself is much harder than just simply writing an article.

All of the jobs above would be considered completely legit work from home jobs.  They don’t require you to pay any fees, they aren’t MLM or pyramid schemes.  However, if none of the above jobs appeal to you as a stay at home mom you might consider one of the MLM schemes mentioned on this site.  These are quite easy to do and the fees are as low as $11 one time fee as in the case of  4×1 fortune.  If you have a little bit of internet knowledge and can place ads in places then you might be successful at it.

Other computer jobs at home could include paid to click.  You basically earn money by looking at and clicking on ads.  However this is very little, maybe amounting to about $1 or so per hour.

Feel free to have a browse through this site where you may find a work from home opportunity that suits you.

Nowadays many people are making money working from home via the internet. There are many different ways this can be done but there are also many scams out there so one must be very careful.

First let me start of with a legit no fee work from home business. There aren’t too many of these types of home internet businesses, but this is one of the few. It is called “Niche Marketing” among other similar names. The basic principle is to create a website about a certain topic that has the ability to make it to the first or second page of the Google search results. The main reason being that if you can get to the first or second page of Google then it’s highly unlikely anyone will ever find your site.

This Niche Marketing has no fee whatsoever attached to it. That doesn’t mean however it is without costs. You will need to buy a domain for each site you make (about $10 per year) and also have webhosting. It is by no means a scam but of course it is by no means easy either. You need to have some computing knowledge as you need to buy domains and create websites. Many use WordPress which is fairly easy to use but even for an experienced computer guy setting up your first WordPress website will take some time. Once you have done one, of course, it gets very easy.

Further you will need to do “keyword research”. This is possibly the longest part of the job as you need to find “niches” i.e. keywords where the competition is low so that there is a good chance you will reach the first page of Google, or close to it.

Once you have found your topic then there are a couple of ways you can make money with your new website. The most popular and perhaps easiest is with Google Adsense. This is completely free to join and you basically give Google some space on your website and when people click on the ads you earn money. Very easy!

You can expect to make about $1 per day with Google adsense on a niche site. (Unless you are lucky enough to find a niche with high search traffic – very hard to find). The idea is to have many of these websites so that you can make possible $100s per day depending on how many sites you have. The nice thing is that once the site is set up and running it shouldn’t need any work afterwards. So you spend a lot of time creating the sites but then you just relax forever as the sites earn money.

You can also make money through affiliate programs. So if your site is about Pet Toys then you can find another website that sells pet toys and become an affiliate for that site making a commission off of each sale that is made from the customers you send to that site. Therefore you can have 2 potential forms of income from the same site.

Now perhaps you aren’t very good at creating websites but you are eager to try to make money online. The other very popular way is by joining some sort of MLM or Pyramid scheme. Many people think that these are scams but they aren’t really. Sure there are many that are scams, but just because some are scams doesn’t mean that all of them are.

Things to avoid are anything that sounds like “Google Cash Kit” or “Make Money With Google”, these are very scammy in that they try to sell you a kit for $2-$5 (very low price). They make it out that this is all you pay, a small fee for the shipping but what you don’t realize is that you have just signed up for a subscription service that might cost you $50-$100 per month. The crazy thing about this is that it’s completely legal. The reason being that at the bottom of the page where you provide your credit card details there is some very small writing about the monthly fee. Of course it is never mentioned anywhere else and all the sales pages make you think that it is just a cheap kit you are buying and all you have to do is pay the shipping.

Another scam to avoid is the work from home stuffing envelopes scam. The websites promoting this supposed work from home job make it out to be that many companies are willing to pay people to handle and process their mail for them. This is by no means true. I should know because I used to fix the machines that are used to perform this job. Companies like Francotyp Postalia, Pitney Bowes and Neopost all make machines that automate this process and work infinitely faster than any human can. Further many companies offer this service in bulk (because they have these machines) and it works out to pennies a piece. So what company in their right mind is going to pay anyone $10 or more per hour to do a job that can be done by a machine at 100 times the speed and therefore much cheaper?

If you have seen any sites trying to promote this type of work you will notice that you will need to pay a fee in order to do the work. This is your first alarm signal. They say the fee is to weed out the people who aren’t serious or to purchase the names and contact details of companies who want this work done but it isn’t true. You are just buying into a scheme whereby you try to get others to do the same and earn a commission for doing so. The companies promoting this are not very up front about this so that’s why I would label it as a scam. You can of course make money from promoting this, but you make your money by duping others into falling into the same trap. Not a really nice way to make money.

Other scams should be easy to identify. Any site that has a “guarantee” about the income you can earn is a scam as no one can ever guarantee anything. All success is down to how much work you put in and a little bit of luck. This is something that no one in their right mind can make a guarantee for.

Another very popular way to make money legitimately online is to join a real MLM scheme. One of the most popular and well known schemes is GDI (Global Domains International Inc). You basically pay $10 per month to be a member and that $10 gets you a very basic webhosting service. Illegal MLM schemes don’t give you anything for your money (ie no product), but this is a real product. It just so happens that most people don’t really care about or use the product. Nevertheless it’s real and legal. They have been going for about 10 years now and I even think they are traded publicly on the stock market (I could be wrong).

You earn money by getting others to join, so you advertise on the internet wherever you can. Most people use free advertising like traffic exchanges and so forth. The commission is $1 per month per person. But you also get the same commission if one of your referrals gets a referral. This happens up to 5 levels down. So, simply speaking, if you got 1 person per month, and everyone did the same, you would be earning $1000s per month after your first year. It’s very slow going in the beginning but it picks up as you stick at it and the idea is to get the snowball rolling. Now the goal of 1 person per month seems very easy but in reality it isn’t. Not necessarily for you, but perhaps for others. The numbers all seem very easy in theory, but in practice it just doesn’t happen that way.

However, if you are very skilled in sales and marketing then you will likely be successful with Global Domains International Inc. They also offer a very good bonus scheme. If you get 5 signups within a week you can earn a $100 cash bonus. This is possibly the best bonus scheme available on the internet.

The drawbacks with GDI. is that it’s been around for so long so almost everyone is in it or already has been. The only possible or potential customers are the new people who come to the internet in search of work and haven’t heard of or tried GDI yet (like me a year ago – I am no longer a member now however). These people can be considered “fresh fish” for G.D.I. marketers. The thing is there are thousands of thousands of GDI marketers online. It’s kind of like fishing in a lake where there are thousands of people fishing at the same time. If 1 new fish enters the lake what are the chances that you will catch it ? So in the end I dropped out of GDI as I didn’t see a great future in it. However, that may not be the case for you so by all means give it a try. The most you can lose is $10 per month. Don’t let me put you off if you were considering trying it out. Nothing ventured nothing gained right ?

However before jumping into Global Domains International Inc, you might want to consider some of the new competition that has come on the scene in the last year. One of the best, in my opinion, is Teamwork Revolution. They are very similar to GDI in that they are $10/month and the product is again webhosting. Their webhosting product however is far superior to GDIs. GDI only offer 100MB of web space or 10 pages, whichever comes first. Teamwork Revolution offer full blown cPanel webhosting service with 700MB of space and unlimited pages as well as unlimited traffic and other necessary things like MySQL Databases. Therefore GDI can’t even hold a candle to Teamwork Revolution when it comes to product comparison.

Their compensation plan is also much better. First of all it is a forced matrix program. If you aren’t familiar with what a forced matrix is it basically means you have the possibility of getting spillover. The whole point of these MLMs is to get people to join under you. Well, if you are in a forced matrix it’s possible that you will receive spillover from your upline thereby earning commissions without even doing anything. This isn’t only a great benefit for you, but it is also a huge selling point for future potential recruits. Everyone loves forced matrices, so if you aren’t in one it will likely be much harder to entice people to join as there are so many forced matrices now.

As for compensation, you earn up to 6 levels down, unlike GDIs 5 levels. Further, Teamwork Revolution give you $2 per month per person for the first 5 people which means once you have 5 people on your first line you break even, unlike GDI where you would need double that (ie 10 people) in order to break even. Moreover, Teamwork Revolution give you $2/person per month commission for the recruits on your 4th line as well. All in all, the commission structure is far superior to GDI’s.

The only advantage GDI have over Teamwork Revolution (and pretty much every other competitive company) is their bonus scheme. I already said that GDI pay $100 for every 5 people sponsored within 1 week on top of the $1/person per month residual commissions. Teamwork Revolution don’t offer this so if you think you can sponsor 5 or more people per week into GDI then GDI is definitely for you. However, for most people, 5 people per month is hard enough never mind 5 people per week. So for these reasons I would recommend Teamwork Revolution over GDI any day. I hope I have given you some food for thought if you happen to have been considering GDI as a way to make money online.

Now you may be wondering if I think it’s such a great company and money making opportunity why did I leave? The main reason is that it didn’t quite work for me personally. I tried it out for about 5 months and I was able to personally sponsor about 10 people but the problem was is that’s where it stopped. Those others weren’t able to replicate the process. Possibly because they didn’t bother trying (an unfortunate drawback with forced matrices is that they attract lazy people who think they can get rich purely on spillover – impossible!) or it’s possible they did try but they just didn’t succeed. Whatever the reasons, eventually the people I recruited dropped out after they didn’t see the expected or hoped for success. This is a huge challenge with these monthly payment matrices. You feel like you are constantly bailing water out of a leaking boat. Although you have no boss or anyone telling you what to do and when to do it, you still feel under a lot of pressure to recruit quickly. If you don’t keep the ball rolling then it’s very likely your matrix will implode as people drop out. If you aren’t able to keep recruiting new people and providing spillover then people drop out, which in turn causes others to drop out as they see their own downline dropping out. So for this reason I decided to give up all together on the monthly payment matrices. I don’t like working hard to build a business only to see it collapse. It feels like you are building a house on water. I prefer to build on concrete (so to speak).

Where I have had most of my success and profit is with 1 time payment matrices. These are great and also have excellent potential. You can make just as much money with these MLM programs and possibly even more. What I like about them is you only ever make 1 payment so your risk is limited entirely to that 1 payment as apposed to monthly payment matrices where your risk is dependant upon how long you stay in the program. Further, with 1 time payment matrices if you decide to take a months holiday there is no risk. People don’t drop out of 1 time payment MLMs. If you stop marketing for a while, there’s no leaky boat feeling. Theses MLMs never implode or go backwards, this is like building on top of concrete.

One of the successful programs I tried was 4×1 Fortune. It is only $11 to join and it is a “Cycler Matrix”. What that means is you need to “cycle” before you make any commissions. Once you make 6 sales you will cycle and earn $30. So you nearly triple your money after only 6 sales which is pretty good. If you make 5 sales you earn nothing. The commission doesn’t happen until the 6th person. It is also a forced matrix so you will possibly get spillover or spillunder once in a while but I always stress this should never be relied upon. If you do this you won’t get anywhere. Although it’s possible to get spillovers I recommend just carrying on as if this didn’t happen that way when it does it’s just a nice bonus. The “product” in this case is just some e-books and videos and stuff to help you with online marketing. Most people don’t care about the product, they just want the chance to make some money. So if you are looking for a simple program with low risk and one that actually works and pays, then 4 by 1 fortune is definitely one to consider.

If for some reason you don’t want to risk $11, or you want to try something that is even easier, then I recommend Work for $3 (WF3D). This is only $3 to join as the name implies (well there is a $0.40 alertpay fee). This is basically a mailing list builder. This is a highly useful tool especially for online marketers. As you recruit others to join this list you earn a little bit of money. It is by no means a lot of money but it has the potential to turn into millions. For example, if you recruited just 3 people in your first month and then never recruited again ie retired, and everyone else did the same thing, then in your 11th month you would earn almost $18,000. It seems crazy but it’s a fact. Only 3 people in the first month seems easy, especially considering I recruited about 30 people in my first month. However, I am in my 7th month or so and the reality is that other people are not able to recreate the same success I had. In fact there are many who after 7 months haven’t recruited a single person. Possibly because they haven’t tried or perhaps they have tried and failed, and then there are others who consistently get signups every week which is contributing to the growth of my downline. I have personally now recruited about 100 people, but my downline is about 500 because some of the 100 that I recruited have become successful recruiters themselves. It’s all about what you put into it.

So if you are looking for a really easy program with the potential to turn into decent residual income then give Work for $3 (WF3D) a try. The worse case scenario is that you lose $3.40 right ? But the best case scenario is you will have a residual income for years to come like I am enjoying right now. Even after 7 months I am only seeing about $10/month in residual commissions, but it’s still free money and I’m not really trying hard at it anymore. Further, it definitely has the potential to grow into a lot more than that.

So there you have it. There are many ways to make money online via the internet. Above are just some online opportunities that exist. I hope my experiences and reviews will help you to make your decision as to which online business opportunity you will try out. If you try any of my recommended programs I would love to hear about your experiences good or bad. We can all learn from each other.

Project Payday is an interesting, unique online money making program.  The basic idea is you sign up for trials of stuff and make money by doing so.  The biggest catch is you must live in the US to participate.

It requires a highly organized and disciplined person, however, as you need to be sure to cancel the trial in time before you end up paying the actual fee.  If that happens you probably lose money.  So normally you are trained to create a spreadsheet with all the trials you are currently “trying” and the dates they expire etc.  Then you check it regularly and schedule the times when you need to cancel.  If you have a PDA with an alarm feature this would be highly useful.

You normally have to work with some sort of a mentor.  He will also make a bit of money from your efforts and as you get better you can eventually graduate from the mentor and even become a mentor yourself.

The trials can be anything from vitamins to DVD rentals.  You also need a credit card in order to participate in the trial.  I wouldn’t worry too much about credit card fraud as you aren’t giving your credit card details to project payday, you are giving them to the company offering the trial.

You can pick and choose the trials yourself.  There is a wide range to choose from and some of the trials you may end up keeping because you like them.  Whether you continue or not with the product has no bearing on anything, it’s the trial you get paid for.

However I must admit that one of the companies they use is the Google Cash Kit which I warned against on this site.  So if participating in projectpayday.com one needs to be very careful and read all the fine print.

I don’t think you will get rich with this program, however I am sure you can make more than $10/hr on average.  So for working from home it’s a pretty legitimate opportunity.

You may wonder how is this all funded ?  It’s simple really.  Big companies spend billions on advertising and this is just another one of those advertising methods.  Companies know that word of mouth is one of the most powerful forms of advertising as we are far more likely to buy something a friend has recommended as apposed to something from a commercial.

So these companies have decided to give away free stuff and even pay money to do so instead of giving this money to the advertising companies.  This gets the products into the hands of people whereby the company is banking on the fact that a certain percentage of people will fall in love with it and keep it.

I’m not so sure how this Project Payday will influence this however.  If a company notices an unusually high number of cancellations this could throw up some red flags.  But that shouldn’t affect project payday as they have many programs to choose from.  Of course nowhere are you allowed to advertise the fact that you are trying the product with the intention of canceling.  Project Payday is set up primarily to be a portal to get free or reduced priced products on trial.  The word “cancel” is taboo although everyone knows the idea is to cancel. Shhhh ….

This is perhaps the only REAL legitimate work from home job that I have tried so far.

It is completely free, there are no membership fees and you don’t earn money by recruiting others.  No Pyramids, no MLM.

However, it is by no means easy.  I have been experimenting with this for the past few months, researching and learning as much as I can.  I haven’t made enough money to quit my day job yet but I am sure I will eventually get there.

There are 2 different ways that I make legitimate money working from home via my computer.  The methods discussed here don’t require recruiting other people like a pyramid which I would say at least 90% of online schemes are just fancy MLMs.  One way I earn money is by promoting clickbank products.  Instead of writing a long article about that, you can learn about it by reading about the clickbank course (CLICK HERE).  Clickbank is free to join but of course no one is going to teach you how to do things step by step for free, so you have to be willing to either spend years learning how, or spend a few bucks and buy a book from someone who has already done it then you can start earning a little quicker with that little head start help.  I decided to buy a few books and get a head start and it worked out for me.  I will talk a little bit below about my second work from home income method.

Now although there are no membership fees thiese businesses are by no means without any costs.   It is nearly impossible to have any business without incurring costs.  You use your electricity to run your computer, your telephone etc.  In order to run these businesses there are things you cannot do without.  The difference is that those things that you need do not benefit any “recruiter” just like your electricity and phone bill does not benefit any recruiter.  I cannot “recruit” you into this business and if you decide to try this out I won’t earn a commission from your efforts.  That is also why I cannot spend time training you how to be successful because I don’t earn any money from doing so.  I am merely explaining the basics in this article in order to provide good content for my site and hopefully help people  find a legitimate way to earn a living online.

In order to run these businesses (or any online business) you need to have web hosting, as these businesses are all about creating web sites and making money from them.  Web hosting companies are a dime a dozen so feel free to pick any company you want.  However I have been using this web hosting company and they have been great.  They are only about $5 per month for unlimited everything (cheaper if you pay a year or more up front).  Further, perhaps the greatest feature they have is one click WordPress installations.  I used to have to do this manually and it would take about 10-20 minutes getting everything set up and it wasn’t very easy.  So for a newbie you will love the one click wordpress install feature as wordpress is a great and easy way to create websites for this business.

The only things you MUST have to start these businesses are a computer (which you likely already have) and web hosting.  You could even use someone else’s web hosting if you didn’t want to pay the $5 or so per month for your own.  So once you have a web hosting company you then have to begin your “keyword research”.  The research is perhaps the hardest and longest part of the job.  You are looking for topics that aren’t too competitive because your goal is to get onto the first page of Google for search results of your targeted keyword.

This is very easy if for example your targeted keyword is “things people like to do on the beach on July 10th“.  If you wanted to be the first position in Google for that phrase I’m sure it could easily be done.  The problem is how many people in the world do you think search for that term?  Probably none! So what you are trying to do with your keyword research is find search terms that are somewhat popular but don’t have a lot of competition.

One website you will need to check is https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal.  Here you can type in any keyword and it will give you a rough estimate of how many people search for that keyword.  Select “Exact Match” as that is the number of people who search for that exact phrase.

In order to check the competition for a certain keyword you can type in the keyword phrase into Google and look at the top 10 results that are shown.  You will want to use a plug in for your browser like http://www.seoquake.com/ for Firefox.  They may have a plug in for Explorer I’m not sure.  Just install and use Firefox as it’s a great browser.

Otherwise just do a search in Google for “SEO Plugin Explorer” or something like that.  I am sure you will find something.

Once you have the plug in installed type your keyword phrase into Google and look at the first 1o results.  First thing to look at is the Page Rank of each website.  If the top 10 websites are all Page Rank 3 or lower that’s your first good sign.  The plug in should display this information next to each website.

The second thing to analyze is how many backlinks do each of the sites have ?  The lower the better.

So if the top 10 sites are all low page ranks with low numbers of backlinks then you could be on to a winning keyword phrase.  Another thing to look at is the total number of results that Google gives you.  This number is normally displayed at the top of the search results.  It could be millions of matches or maybe even only 1000s.  This is not as important as the page ranks and backlinks of the top 10 sites, but it is still another indicator as to how many sites are out there with this keyword phrase in them.  The less sites there are the better.

Of course this will likely take you many many hours to do, coming up with ideas for possible website niches and then doing the research, checking the top 10 results etc.  You will probably find a good keyword phrase 1% of the time , so be prepared to spend a lot of time trying to find good target keywords.  It’s all about trial and error (mostly error).

If you don’t want to wait, or don’t have the patience to jump through all the hoops then you may consider buying this software that does a lot of that work for you.  It takes a huge amount of the leg work away.  You type in a keyword phrase and it basically gives you a rating from 0 to 1000 for that phrase,  0 being the easiest and 1000 being the hardest.  Generally if you are just starting out you should target phrases that are less than 20, 0 of course being the ideal.

I use this software and it’s great, but I will stress that it isn’t necessary.  The only thing that is absolutely necessary to start this business is web hosting.  You can use the same company as me or maybe you already have webhosting ? If you are a member of one of these webhosting matrices like Teamwork Revolution, or the like, then you can just use their hosting.  But those normally cost $10 or more per month, whereas I only pay $5.  I’m sure you can find it cheaper but this is the company my friend has been using for a while now and he is also doing this niche marketing work.  However, he does it full time and makes a living at it.  So I am trying to learn from him and follow in his footsteps.

He also uses the Niche Finding Software and swears buy it, and so do I.  But again if you have more time than money then don’t worry.  Just spend the time doing the research manually as the software costs $97, but worth every penny.

Once you have found your keyword phrase with low competition then you will want to buy a domain.  GoDaddy is a pretty cheap domain name provider, but I’m sure you can find cheaper.  A domain will cost you about $10 per year.  This is another cost associated with this business that you can’t avoid.  Nobody makes a commission off you buying domain names except the domain name company.

You will want to find a domain that matches your targeted keyword phrase exactly.  So if you are targeting the keyword phrase “dog grooming kit” you will want to try to get the domain “www.doggroomingkit.com.”  It’s very likely that it will already be taken so you can try to get .org or .net.  Don’t go for any other extension other than those 3.  If those are all taken you could try to go for hyphenated domains like “www.dog-grooming-kit.com” or the like.   However, the fact that the domain is already taken could be an indication that another person is trying to do the same thing as you.  So you may take that as an indicator not to bother as you may not want to go head to head with another niche marketer that is likely more experienced than you and who will easily out rank you.  It’s up to you of course.  If they aren’t in the top 10 search results then perhaps they aren’t that good anyway.

Now, how do you make money you may ask ? One very popular way is to simply put Google Adsense on your site.  People who visit your Dog Grooming site will see ads about Dog Grooming so they are quite likely to click on them and you earn money every time someone clicks on an ad.

A word of warning here.  DO NOT EVER CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADS OR ASK FRIENDS TO DO SO.  If you think Google won’t know then you are highly mistaken.  Google knows EVERYTHING.  So don’t try to be smart and increase your earnings by a few bucks, because that type of short sightedness will get you banned FOR LIFE from Google adsense.

If you choose to use Google adsense to earn money from your site you will also want to take into consideration the amount each click is worth.  You may stumble upon a Niche that looks very easy to target but when you see what the average CPC (cost per click) is it may not be worth it.  $0.01 per click might make you a few dollars per year.  Just enough to pay for the domain name perhaps and maybe the hosting.  So there is a combination of many factors to consider when choosing a niche to go for.  You can check out what keywords are roughly worth at this site https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox

Another way to make money from your niche site is to sell affiliate products, for example Amazon.  With this type of affiliate marketing you only get paid a commission on each successful sale, not on clicks like Google adsense.  So it may be harder to make money with Affiliate commissions as you are depending upon people actually buying something.  Whereas with Google Adsense all you need is a simple click to make money.

In reality however, I have sites that earn more money from affiliate commissions than from Adsense.  So both ways are good.  Even both ways on the same site work well too.

The main thing to remember about this business is that it is very slow going and has a huge learning curve.  It isn’t a get rich quick scheme but a real legit way to work from home.  Initially it will likely be a hobby as it is for me.  You can expect to make money after about 1 year of trying this so don’t be dissappointed when one or more of your websites don’t make any money.  Some of the guys who have been at this a while launch 100s of websites EVERY MONTH !  Those guys admit that only 20-30% of the sites actually make money and they are experts.  So if you embark on this make it a long term goal so as not to get too disheartened.  I have been at it for almost 1 year now and I can by no means do it full time (yet).  But I have learned a lot during this past year and I am certainly getting better at it.

I also know that I will be able to this full time one day, it just a matter of when, not “if”.

If you are interested in working from home in the same way as I am then you need training as I did. I recommend this Training Course.  Of course if you are reluctant to spend money on any training you will still likely succeed in carrying out this business as I have.  However it took me over a year to reach any decent income level.  If you don’t have that sort of patience then the training is right for you.  I know make over $500 per month with my websites and each month that number slowly grows.  I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to have a completely independent source of income.  I feel like my experiment has finally paid off.   I sure wasted a lot of time with the MLMs but I don’t regret it.  Overall I haven’t lost money because I view those MLMs as a stepping stone that brought me to this REAL business.   I hope the same can happen for you.
