Join The Fun NEW EyeEarn Money Maker!

Finally! Here's a fresh and innovative new concept for those tired of working endless hours trying to promote a crappy concept that's never gonna make you any REAL money anyway. You don't have to promote a site, or spam your friends, or click until your fingers go into convulsions. You simply put a small cling-on banner on your car and wear a shirt with the website addy on it! That's it!!

With this unique way of promotion, you are not actually trying to get referrals under you. How it works is that by wearing the shirt whenever you want and just regular driving of your car, you are giving exposure to the website and some people will see it and join. The cool thing is that you get paid from the pool of EVERYONE who has joined up since you have! No pressure to make sales or get sign ups! Of course, it's a no brainer that you should sign up as soon as possible with a new program like this. I had 47 sign ups after me just within an hour!!

They have a cool tag line for advertising the program: "Get Seen. Get Paid." and it REALLY is that simple to make money! CLICK HERE NOW for more info on this exciting and fun new program!

Need Traffic? Surf For Credit!

I'm Back! I hope everyone had a great week and many successful ventures.

My post for today is focused on what I call the "surf for credit" type sites, also known as surfing for cash or credit. Very similar to what I mentioned in my Adbux post, but with a couple of important differences. (By the way, Adbux was having some problems with their site hosting and have moved, in case you noticed it was down).

The important differences are that with the surf programs the sites will breeze right by in front of your eyes while you watch, whereas the Adbux type ones you have to specifically click on the ad text to see the full site. The other thing is that, technically, there is no money adding up for you as you surf the credit sites, since you are being "paid" in credits to be used for your own ads. While you CAN make a little money with their affiliate programs, that requires more effort, whereas with Adbux and the like you can start making your few cents on your own right away. The thing they ALL have in common, as far as I'm concerned, is that they shouldn't be thought of as a means to make any amount of riches, but as a cheap means of getting advertising traffic for whatever program you choose that WILL make you rich.

That being said, I'll just give a quick overview of 2 surf credit sites I recommend along with the pros and cons of each. There are MANY sites out there, but 2 of the best to get started are the WebCentreSurf traffic site and the ad traffic exchange at TrafficG. The obvious first difference between these two is that the Webcentre site is more user friendly and easier to start than the TrafficG site. The TrafficG site takes more effort to list your sites and add descriptions while at Webcentre you just copy and paste your site addresses and you're good to go.

Each one features fun symbols to click on for credit as you view the sites. At WebCentre you have to watch each site for 10 seconds and when the timer hits 0 you have to click on a matching symbol or color to confirm your credit. The rapid trivia for bonus points helps keep you paying attention if you start nodding off while surfing! The main stats page is also very user friendly and easily understood. Surf ratio is 40% unless you upgrade. Also, you can only list up to 5 sites as a free member.

TrafficG has a 30 second timer and no trivia games, but there is what they call a "skill card" which you have to click on once in awhile to prove you are still viewing the sites. Their symbols are generally cartoon characters as well. They have a promotional page where you can list all your sites on one page, which I found handy. They also offer a starter page option for your browser. Surf ratio can be 1:1 without upgrading, but only after you surf for awhile. You can list as many sites as you like for free.

To summarize, Webcentresurf is fun, easy and to the point when surfing. TrafficG offers many other features (perhaps too many) for a beginner with only 1 or 2 sites to promote. Your pick depends on what you require from them. My recommendation for listing them here is that they are both FREE services in which you can create ads for your websites and programs and have them seen by 1000's of people looking for what you are selling. Both also have a hit counter telling you how many times your ads/sites were viewed and you can list several on each site. So, what have you got to lose? It's FREE advertising for you! Check them BOTH out NOW!!

Have A Successful Week!

I just wanted to add a quick post letting everyone know that I'll be in the hospital for the next couple of days, so I probably won't get any new posts in this week. I haven't been feeling well lately, but I hope everything will turn out ok. I guess I could turn that into a tip for this blog as well, and that would be to hang in there, even against all odds. It may seem like a constant struggle to get ahead in life, but when you see an obstacle you should look for a solution and not give up! It may take awhile, but eventually you WILL succeed! Believe in yourself!
Until my next post, have a great week and here's to your future success!

Become A Degree Broker!

I've had several people on some of the forums ask me what work at home program works best for me. If you've been following my posts then you'll know that I'm not about promoting one program over the other. I don't use my posts to recommend programs for 2 reasons:

1. What works well for me may not also work for you,
2. This site is meant for helpful general advice and tips, rather than pushing programs.

However, that being said, I will answer the question based on the fact that I've already written articles about this and so my answer is already out there if you can Google it. My personal preference is to work from home as a degree broker for various colleges and universities. I have tried many different things and brokering is BY FAR the best one for me.

Forget those stupid pay per click programs where you get a whole lousy penny for your time, unless you are using them NOT for money, but for your own advertising purposes (see my previous post). I'm truly amazed when I read forum posts about people who are overjoyed about actually making it to their $10 threshold. Do they not realize how truly small $10 is for all the time they put into it? They could work 18 hour days in a sweatshop and be better off! Seriously.

The whole PURPOSE of a "work at home" program is that you can make enough to actually WORK AT HOME, without having to follow the "rat race" to your job every day. How is 10 bucks going to help you? You need to actually make roughly what you make at your day job in order to eventually quit and work from home.

As a Degree Broker, I actually HELP people get ahead in their career by offering low cost degrees to people who cannot afford full tuition. It's real, legal and a much faster way to get ahead. You've probably noticed how many ads there are from universities offering online education degrees posted all over various websites. It's because it's quickly becoming BIG business and every school wants a piece of the pie. This is where you come in, acting as a broker for the schools to help people who need it and everyone wins!

As a degree broker, the commission is the highest that I've ever found, and is enough for me to live at home without having to "work" at a day job. That's REAL income and not the fake payouts that some other places may promise, but never deliver. Also, you never have to pay out anything yourself, which should be common sense for ANY job, work at home or not. Any program that wants you to pay out anything to them for an "upgrade" is scamming you! Remember that.

As with anything, don't take my word for it or anyone else's. Read the FAQ I have set up at http://instant.adegreeofsuccess.com/ and see what it offers at no risk to you.
All the best to your success in the future!

Combining Programs To Maximize Profits

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well!
For my tip today I wanted to give a quick example of how you should combine the programs available to you in order to maximize effect and profits. I know you have some sort of affiliate program to sell, in either an ad or a website you are trying to promote, but how do you get that message across with the least amount of investing and effort on your part? Well, there are many ways.
The most obvious ones are to join a link exchange program to promote your website, or an ad forum to post an ad. I have some fast, free and easy ones to join listed in my links. However, one other way that works amazingly well is to join a pay per click (PPC) or Paid To Click (PTC) program site. I know you're thinking "Oh, those don't make any money. I tried one and only made a few cents!". Exactly. I couldn't agree more, and I don't recommend them to actually make any money, but rather, to use them as a free advertising forum for your product.
This is putting a bit of a twist on it when you use it NOT as a means to make money. Let me give you an example. If you were trying to make money, the average threshold for most of those programs is $10, which would take the average person MONTHS to acheive. They also don't tell you that, once you join, there are hardly ANY ads to click in the first place, so there's virtually no way to make any big profits.
However, you CAN use this to your advantage. If you join a program like Adbux (in my link list) they have a system where you can exchange your click credits for views of your own site to others. Now, the vast majority of people are in it for the money only and don't even consider that, but when you see how few ads there really are, and that they have a membership currently OVER 700,000 (ALL greedily looking for new ads to click), then you realize what a potential marketing goldmine it is.
So the plan is simple. You join up at no cost to you, then click their ads until you reach the exchange credits threshold (which is only 75 cents!) and then put your ad/site up for everyone else to see. Keep in mind too that these are all people looking for "work at home" money making programs, so it's the perfect target audience!! And it's all FREE advertising! Can't go wrong there. Tip: When choosing your interests upon sign up, make sure you pick "biz2biz", "get Paid to" and the like. While you may like music and sports and the other categories, there are NO ads for these topics, so you'd be out of luck. You must pick all the money making type topics for it to work.
Until next time, have a great week!

Sunday Is A Work Day Now!

I know many of you probably think of Sunday as a traditional day of rest. Perhaps you go to church in the morning or gather with friends and family for a big supper and relax in the evening. That may be a nice way to spend a day, but if you are to succeed in the "work at home" field, then you must learn to alter your lifestyle a bit.

That doesn't mean you have to give up your traditional values, but you must rearrange things a bit in order to fit in time for your new business endeavors. In the case of online work at home, Sunday is usually the best work day of the week! Until your online business takes off you will still likely be working at your regular 9-5 job during the week, which only leaves the weekend to get many other projects done, including your home based business.

Since many other people also only have Sunday as a day to relax, they are more likely to be "winding down" by Sunday evening and maybe doing a bit of surfing around the internet. This is your best time to find a prospective buyer for your product. Ask any seasoned Ebay store owner and they'll tell you to make sure your auction time ends in the evening, as this is when your buyers will most likely be around. If you have any changes to make to your website or ads, make sure you do it in time so that it's out "live" to the public by the start of Sunday evening. Take into account the different time zones according to where your target audience is as well. You don't want them to be sleeping when they should be seeing your updates!

That's it for today. As always, here's to your success!!

The Winter Is Upon Us!

Well, its now officially winter, at least if you live in North America. It's cold and snowing every other day. There is ice on my car and I have to bundle up with 6 layers of clothing before going outside! BRRRR!!!

Some People LOVE winter and others HATE it. If you love to go out skiing or building a snowman with your kids, then it can be quite fun. Others are miserable and suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and the winter blues gets them down. Most people agree that winter is a time when things move slower and most people stay inside.

By now you are thinking "I thought this was a Marketing Forum? Why is this crazy person telling me about snow and cold weather??!". Well, it's quite simple, really. When you work from home at an online business, winter is the BEST time of year! This is the time of year when you should be working the hardest to get your product and ideas out there to the masses.

Most times with an online business it's difficult to find an attentive audience, as so many people are busy or out doing things that must be done. They don't have time to read and study your presentation with so much to do in their busy lives. However, during the winter season, they are less likely to go out and are more likely to be inside on the computer, surfing the web. It's warm inside and they don't mind sitting down for awhile to read your ad or offer.

There is a term among online business owners called "Summer Slowdown", meaning that when more people go outside during the warmer summer weather, they aren't inside buying your product on the computer. So, if you are to make it in this business, you have to take advantage of the time your potential customers stay inside.

It doesn't matter what you are selling! NOW is the time to take action and reap the rewards! Get yourself out there in front of your attentive audience while you can. The next 3 months are crucial to your success online and, in some cases, will make or break you as an internet entrepreneur.

As always, all the best to your success in the future!!

All The Best In The New Year!

So, here we are in another year...2008! What will the new year hold for you? Will you be rewarded with the success you deserve or will it be another year full of financial pain and struggle? You have to ask yourself first how far you are willing to go to succeed. There is no such thing as a "get rich quick" scheme...you have to work really hard to get ahead, and anyone who tells you differently is lying to you.
Sure, there are people who make money online in their sleep (myself included), but what you don't see is all the long hours put into making that dream a reality. You have to post and manage ads, mailing lists, set up websites, join programs and learn all the time. You have to follow trends and be constantly on top of everything 24/7 with all that you do online. I sometimes put in 18 hour days online (no kidding!) and you have to be willing to make that same sacrifice to get ahead.
Those people who appear to be truly successful are doing an enormous amount of work "behind the scenes" and they rarely get to take any time off. They can go on vacation, but they would have to take a laptop comp with them to prevent from getting too far behind in their efforts. The point is that there is no such thing as an easy road to riches. You CAN make money, but you have to have patience and perseverence. I know I may seem like a broken record on this one, but it's worth repeating as a resolution for the new year.
On a positive note, don't give up and eventually your dreams can come true! Good Luck!
