Genuine online income opportunities

Genuine online income opportunities are hard to come by. This is a genuine opportunity for anyone with work ethic! But before we get to that; do you have work ethic? This is the single, most important quality/talent you need to even start to look at earning money online! There is no such thing as residual income, or passive income, or ambient income! There is no such thing as “sitting back and watching the cash roll in”. Unless you’re a trust baby, or a “trophy wife” it just isn’t going to happen!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RESIDUAL INCOME! The words passive, residual, overnight, today, or easy do not exist when it comes to any ongoing ability to earn income, especially online. You can be disabled. You can be living far away from everyone else, you can be a parent of three young children and working full time or any other limitations, but they can’t stop you from online earning, or have fun doing it!

If you truly have genuine work ethic, don’t give up easily, see your plan as it unfolds in front of you and a willingness to learn then all you need is a successful company to become involved with. You don’t need to pay out even $100 to join a successful company! You shouldn’t be buying inventory to begin your company. You shouldn’t be going into debt to keep your company running!

This is why I chose Labella Gift Baskets back in June of 2011! I knew all this from the beginning; I just needed to hunt for 2 and one half years to find it! I had zero money to invest in starting a business. I trust no one, especially online. I had to hear about it from people I know and trust online! It takes a while to find out who is honest and knows what they’re talking about at the same time! It took a year just to trust the people that were recommending LaBellas Gift Baskets.

So I took advantage of their $1.97, 7 day jump start and made these decisions for myself!  You know and I know that takes guts to try to see if you can do the job. You’ve got to sign on and pay out the money, then win, lose or draw you will find out if it pays off in the end. You end up asking yourself; Do you gain income? Do you have the potential to gain income? Do you work hard enough? Do your talents work for what you are doing? So you answer all these questions with “yes”. Then you think, do you love the job? Do you get out of bed in the morning ready to embrace your work day? My instincts said “Yes”, emphatically. I signed on, $19.95 for another month.

I’m a doubting Thomas by nature and nurture. I’m also a doubting Thomas because of the world of corporate liars I was in for years. I have seen for my own eyes the financial underbelly that most of the rest of the world will never see. So when Mia and Janis said that by following their suggestions right from the start my first month’s consultant fee “should be covered because most people get sign ups to be consultants almost immediately”, that’s a $15.00 bonus. Do you think I believed them? Guess what? They have documented proof they were right! The statement holds true to this day. Every time I have to pay for my monthly consultant fee people join up and I get my bonuses.

I’m not getting rich, but I’ve built much of the ground work that will pay off as I continue to build the foundation of my company. I’ve found ways that anyone can use to start making money almost immediately. I wish I would have seen that path immediately. It took me a while to figure it out. It’s all there, online. There are just so many different ways to go about it I had to try a lot of things before I started raking in bonuses.

Now, my final quest is getting sales. Back to the dollar store for more stuff

Free to join online income

Everyone it seems is looking for a free income online. Unfortunately while it doesn't cost money, do you have the perseverance and dedication  to commit your attention to that program making only a few pennies a day? It is possible to gain daily income level much higher than pennies a day but are you willing to blog, seek out other bloggers that also blog about something relevant to your blog? Are you willing to take risk while your income grows? One way or another you will need to sacrifice something. That sacrifice may be time, effort or both. Online earning is the same as off line earning. Brick and mortar businesses are built the same way. Online business only means you won't have the heavy overhead offline businesses have. The heart of my business is all in my laptop. While I can access all my information from my other computer and soon my blackberry I still have to have an office within my home. True it's a tax write off but it is only that. It is not a reimbursement.

Earning online income

Earning online income, that’s where I’ve been. Hi everyone! I guess you may have been wondering where I’ve been. No, I have not been on vacation. I’ve actually been doing some serious research for this site. It’s amazing how much one can get done when they focus. As you know I’m all about making money and saving time. With that goal in mind I’ve run into repeat offenders all over the place, both in real life and online. I’ve yet run into a website that does not waste your time. Even some of the best sites are guilty of that. So as I research I hope I can help you save your time by telling you the advantages and pitfalls by listing them here. Over the coming weeks I’m going to tell you my findings. Today I’m going to focus on our attitudes toward online income.

I warn you now, I’m anal. I have spreadsheets. I have a spreadsheet brain. I keep track of my earnings on a monthly basis and then average it over 365 days. My fiscal year ends on Dec 31, period. Anything I earn that doesn’t show up on a W2 I put in there.  So anything worthy of a 1099 (my ultimate goal) is on a spread sheet. If I were to list it on a daily basis I’d be looking at a lot of blank space, what a waste.

I started earning online in 2010. I earned on average three cents a day. This year I am earning on average so far fourteen cents a day. So far my income has nearly tripled. I did not subtract any days I was on vacation or took the weekend off. I am sometimes earning passive income while not working. Also the IRS doesn’t care about the exact day you earned the money, they just want to know how much money you made last year.

Considering I came into this income earning area with absolutely no idea of what I’m doing I think I’m doing pretty well! Hopefully this blog will give you a leg up. By giving you some insight to what happened to me on my way so far you can start earning income faster. My pitfalls are your gain. When you do some research on what I’m introducing you’ll find my information reliable. In time you might find you have a short cut to earning online and get there faster than I have.

Today I am going to cover a website brought to my attention by a guy that is all about online income but has supplied a huge list of online job opportunities for those looking for a W2. One such site is vertualassistantjobs.com.

Are you an administrative assistant and currently looking for work? Maybe you are as organized and efficient as one. There are millions of virtual assistants out there and room for more.

Bad news first: Certification is NOT required to apply or be hired as it is meant only for those Virtual Assistants wishing to document their qualifications and become more competitive in the job market. This is one of the first things you see on the landing page. It sends you the same message any other good web site would: Translation-This site is free to join but if you really want to start making money, pay here. For instance basic certification comes to you if you pay $95 to show you can handle the job. This is what they tell you from the beginning:

Enjoy, maybe one day I'll be employing you!

SEO writing and keyword knowledge

SEO writing isn't hard if you keep it in mind whenever you write a blog, but here's another tip for you. Get the LableList gadget on your blog. List your posts with keywords in it. Every time you make a new post be sure to use your keywords directly relating to your keywords. That should be easy because you should be excited to write about these subjects. Again, Adwords has a great keyword tool to help you decide what keywords to use. It all does pay off but you do need to be patient. Although my income has climbed it's still only about .50 a day, I enjoy it so much it' like getting paid for doing a hobby!
Every time you are done writing a blog refer to this list before assigning labels to it. Refer to this list before you start thinking about your next blog. Look for keywords that relate only to the subject you are writing about. For example I used SEO and SEO writing for this blog. I can't think of many other subjects that would use this term. So when people are using this keyword to look up information about websites they may find this post and if they find this post they will see my list of labels to organize it for them to actually find what I wrote about it. Yes, they may spend less time reading my site but it won't be frustrating for them and make them go away, FOREVER! 

Advertising under false pretences

Hi you guys. I hope your income is growing. Mine is but I still research, research, research. Have you seen the newer websites getting advertised that seem to be about something else entirely? These are a first for me. The ones that thoroughly disgust me try to sell me a program based on the fact it is to benefit a Christian belief or a family whose bread winner recently had some terrible form of cancer. All you need to do is to sell all your friends and family on joining the site and hopefully buy something from it. Then you keep part of the profit. I know these people hope they have you guilted out of your cut in the meantime. In return you will help "Save the last nickel" church or "Joe Cancer" survive another month. I urge you to do some research. If they aren't listed in the phone book they probably don't exist. Just doing an online search for something related to them should turn up some results. If those results come from another form of the group or completely positive opinions something is wrong. Try to find a result from a website you trust. Just because someone says they have cancer doesn't guarantee they do. If their illegal money is gained solely comes from online they can never be prosecuted.

Making money from blogging

We all want to make online income. To wake up in the morning to find out we made money from blogging, websites, what ever, is a good feeling
Since I began blogging in November of 2010 my income has grown from a penny a day to an average of 61 cents a day. That's how long it takes to build income from it. I now have seven blogs. That's enough to scare a lot of people off unless they know the "science" of creating income from blogging. Then everyone has their personal style. My style is to write about things I'm passionate about. I know I come up with thoughts during the week I can blog about in each one. Sometimes I come up with things I want to write about twice or three times a week. Two of my blogs are about my hobbies; retirement goals and cooking for the diabetic without having to announce to the world I eat like a diabetic. I hate that. I also write about a serious medical condition I have which is popular world wide. I know that eventually three of these blogs will be going away but, I have a list of ideas that they can be replaced with. I guess what I'm getting to is you have to experiment and practice day after day. You have to keep your mind on key words that people will actually put in a search bar that a search engine will actually look for.
You may or may have not noticed that there is an avalanche of information out on the web designed to only sell you something. As you begin to make money from whatever you're doing you will notice it actually gets worse! I received a phone call from someone because I was curious about getting a logo. They said online that they would email my information to me, but called me instead. They wanted to know just exactly what my business was selling. I could honestly say "nothing". With that alone they wished me luck and bid me good day.
Everyone is saying business today has to be about helping people. I wish that were true. It's about convincing people to buy something from you that will help them! Period. I on the other hand truly want to help people by telling them about my experience doing what ever I've done that may interest others. I seriously want to brand that and put a logo on it. Why? Because I want people to associate anything I say with enough trust that they can at least get a "heads up" or at least put it in the back of their minds moving forward with whatever their goals are.
I hope this was of help to you in some way. I'll be talking to you soon!

Neo Bux is a joke

Because of the nature of what I do I have to belong to some sites and work them to gain enough knowledge to recommend them to others looking for a way to make income online. Neobux was one such site. Granted four cents a day isn’t much but when I add that to my income from everything else I do I can make some decent money. Unfortunately Neo Bux is not a site I can recommend any more. Unless you have your own referral network in place and you know they will be joining the site swiftly there is no money to be made. They’ve made a lot of changes to attract these kinds of referral marketers only; anyone else spends way too much time in their site for one cent a day.

The really strange part is when I went into the forum to ask about this situation at first I was given all kinds of suggestions by the administrators. They suggested I go into their site “several” times a day and I will probably make more than I used to. Before the changes I would go into NeoBux at least 6 times a day, twice in the morning, twice in the afternoon and twice at night. Because I have the attitude of “giving it my all” I increased this to 12 times a day. It didn’t work. After 2 weeks I gave up and said I’m making nothing and have no reason to refer anyone to this site. I went in to check out if anyone answered my post and it was gone! It just disappeared! I have the feeling all the “exciting” changes made were to benefit their income and not to attract new and budding marketers. It’s no longer a beginner’s site which is a shame. But they obviously ran the numbers and the statistics that came from their spreadsheets said they gain very little from beginners. Clixsense and Mylot are the winners of the beginners sites. I really hate to see that. Oh well I make about sixteen cents a day from those two alone. That’s $4.80 per month. It wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t  deleted my post.

Everything is free, nothing to sell. Nothing to buy.

Joke for the day

This is truly a free venture. This brings up the very good question-How free is free? The answer: Completely, totally, void of any cost necessary to start up. It’s about traffic generation, writing articles, making your services available to the online community, in essence marketing you, nothing else!

While researching what you need to begin thoughts roll through your mind, or at least they do through mine. Why not develop a logo one day that people will recognize as me! It could be an avatar, it could be designed by someone, or it could be a picture. While researching this idea I signed up for some program to possibly consider in the future marketing me and my services. I always use our phone number for these kinds of requests. That way our business phone numbers aren’t called for some sales call that can easily be generated from these sites.

Sure enough, it went something like this: How are you doing today. We are offering this free program for you to try for 30 days. So what happens after 30 days? That’s a great question, we offer this, this, this, this, this, and this for much less than our competitors. What does it cost? You get all this, this, this, this-Cut off at the pass: how much? $90 is all. I am not prepared to pay that. Well what kind of product do you sell and how much do you sell it for? I do not sell anything. Thank you very much, have a great day!

Four minutes, no sale, no purchase.
