How to make money from home?

A question that seems to be eating your mind is How to make money from home?Well I am just going to direct you in your mission to pay your bills. Yes, this article is going to show you how to make money from home?

There are basically two ways according to me to make money at home. Those are Online ways, for this you require a computer and an internet connection. The second way is to fetch your local newspaper and find a 'work from home' job in the classifieds section and try your luck. Neither of them is easy. Both have their own pros and cons. But the most risky are the Online jobs, where you may be working for a company which is on the other side of the hemisphere, which may or may not be a scam.

The truth is that the hopes and dreams of the honest hard working people making a better life for themselves trying to work at home, have fallen victim to these work from home opportunities online. From a source, it is found that 30% of the average middle class are spending about $275 per year on work at home scams.

But, hey listen, not all the online sites are scams. There are lotta genuine sites also. To earn from home, from your computer, online, there are many ways to do it.

MAKE MONEY FROM HOME BY BLOGGING:

The first and foremost and the easiest thing you could do is set up your blog. Search Engine love blogs . Choose a topic(niche) for your blog and post daily. After making enough posts submit it to blog directories like blogadda.com, blogtoplist.com. Blogging is a very powerful tool. Now, what is a blog? It is short for weblog. And you are currently reading an article from a blog, yes this is a blog. You could make one for you.

There are many free blogging platforms you can decide to choose from like blogger, wordpress, typad, joomla, etc. blogger.com is by far the best because it can be customised very easily.Just follow these steps to make for yourself a free blog:

1. Go to http://blogger.com
   
2. If you already have a google account, no need to sign up, Just Click the 'CREATE A FREE BLOG' option. If you don't have a google account already, then create one. Its free of cost.
3. Follow the instructions, its easy.
4. Post on your blog.

Now, the main question is, what are you going to post? Well, you thought it was easy? Man, you can write anything you want in your blog, its yours.
Now, how will you earn from it???

Many methods to earn from your blog are available. They are:-

• Placing CPM(COST PER MILLION) and PPC(PAY PER CLICK) ADS on your site:This process is easier than creating a blog. There are many publisher companies which serve advertisements to your site. Google Adsense has the biggest network of advertisers and the ads placed on your blog will be according to your content. Go to http://adsense.google.com and register for your adsense account. Now, you get an email confirmation within 2 days. Here you need patience. Now, the main question arising in your mind is, what if I don't get a confirmation? No worries. You get confirmed. You just need to wait. Once you are confirmed, login with your adsense account, create a new ad, generate the code and place it in your blog(All that information, you can get in Adsense help. If any problem, comment and I'll answer) and then cash checks on monthly basis. The minimum payout is $100. It first takes time to reach that much, but once you reach there, its like clockwork.

Other such programs to make money from home from your blog are

2. http://bidvertiser.com

, both are genuine sites and both pay their members.

One thing you should always keep in mind is to read the Terms of Service of such sites, so that nothing goes wrong. Like for example, you get a life ban on Google Adsense if you click on your own ads.

• Sell Ad Space on your blog :If you start getting say about a 1000 visitors per month to your blog, you can even start selling ad spaces on your blog, so passive income at its best. You can sell your ad spaces on money making forums. One of my favourite which I use for my blogs is Digitalpoint. There are many people over there ready to market their products for reasonable price. So, if you could sell spaces at a reasonable price, then you will surely have a deal and can add a few bucks to your kitty every month.
  

• Sponsored Reviews:There are several companies which needs review for their product and they pay well, up to $5 per review. But for this you need to wait a minimum three months with atleast 30 posts for some pay per post sites. Some good pay per post sites are payperpost.com, reviewme,blogvertise,etc.
  

• Affiliate Marketing:Hordes of internet marketers are spending and investing in the Affiliate Marketing. This is the big industry where millions of internet marketers are promoting affiliate programs. Affiliate Programs consists pay per lead, pay per click, pay per impression and pay per sale offers which we have to promote. There are thousands of Affiliate Network which pays good amount per sale. I have listed some of my favourite affiliate programs here(). They are the best earners and they can sometimes earn you more than what Adsense has to offer.Any affiliate program can earn you a lot of money. It's about finding programs that fit YOUR niche, i.e. finding programs that fit your blog topic.
  

• Sell your blog-The last thing you could do to make money from home :I know its painful and irritating to sell your blog, your baby after it comes very close to your heart. But, you can make a huge amount of money from it in a short amount of time. This is the last thing to do to attain your goals. You can sell your blog site on popular online forums like Digital Point. There are many of potential buyers active over there. Your site's value can be set by some factors like the amount of revenue generated by your site per month, the quality of your site, your niche topic, etc.. You can do the reverse too, i.e. you can buy someone else's site on the same factors mentioned above.

Money making from blogging is not difficult. It just needs common sense, consistency, content and confidence and above all, patience. Because, it is a long an continual process. Its not a 'Get Rich Quick' scheme. It surely needs hard work and it can be fun at times. So, enjoy blogging if you have started already.
