Easy Ways To Make Money Online? Is There Such a Thing?

Searching for an easy way to make money online could be a challenge if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. Just type in “make money online” in a google search and prepare to be assaulted by millions of websites that offer various money-making opportunities…

Although there might be a number of easy ways to make money online out there, it’s important to compare your options before you begin. Here is a list of four popular opportunities that are considered to be the best solutions for making money online:

1. Affiliate marketing

How does it work? When you become an affiliate for a product or a service, you agree to distribute that product/service on an independent basis. Every time you make a sale, you receive a commission anywhere from 30% to 80% of the sale. The most common examples of online affiliate products are e-books, software, advertising services etc.

How much does it cost? It depends. It could cost nothing or it could cost a few hundred dollars to become an affiliate. Ultimately, it’s the monthly cost of your marketing campaign that is going to make or break you, not the affiliate entry fee.

How much can you expect to make? Most likely, you will NOT make much if you’re marketing only one affiliate product. The key is to market a few at the same time to the same targeted group of people. If you’re running an MLM business, you could become an affiliate for several email marketing websites and make commissions each time one of your team members signs up for their services.

2. MLM

How does it work? MLM (multi-level marketing) is similar to affiliate marketing. The difference between MLM and affiliate marketing is that with MLM, you are not only making commissions on sales, but also recruiting a downline of other affiliates.

How much does it cost? It depends on which opportunity you join. There are plenty of inexpensive MLM products out there, but, keep in mind that you will have to sell large volumes to make any money with low cost products, while you will only need a few sales to make a profit with a higher priced product.

How much can you expect to make? The amount of money you make with MLM will depend on the amount of products you move. Move a lot of products - make a lot of money. Move a little bit of products – make a little money. Move no products – make no money.

3. Paid online surveys

How does it work? Many consider online surveys to be “the king” of the easy ways to make money online. On the surface it does appear simple - you fill out a consumer research form and get paid for the information you provided – but online surveys could turn into a frustrating ball of confusion if you do them haphazardly.

First, understand that by providing your information to a survey web-site, you are opening a door to all kinds of companies sending you their special offers. If you think that’s good, think again. Some of the offers you receive will be legitimate, but you might also get contacted by scam web-sites, or get sent emails containing viruses. Your regular mailbox will also be filled with junk mail because your address is going to be sold by various mailing list websites.

You have to also keep in mind that most surveys will require you to sign up for a “special offer” of some kind. Usually those offers are free or low cost; the trick is to keep a calendar of when you signed up and when you need to cancel. Otherwise, your credit card could get charged for things that you’re not even using.

How much does it cost? Your privacy + the “special offer” fees.

How much can you expect to make? Most surveys average at about $25 a pop. You will have to sign up with a lot of survey websites to get a few good (low or no cost) surveys a day. Expect to have to look through dozens of emails before you find one good one. The payment usually takes a few weeks to go through.

4. Cash Gifting

How does it work? The concept of giving cash as a gift has been around for quite some time. What’s new is the idea of using that concept as a base for an online business. Cash gifting as a business is easy to understand: you give a gift of cash to join a gifting program and receive cash from people who join under you. A good cash gifting program would provide you with a professional looking website and extensive marketing training. The main reason why cash gifting has become popular is because the gifts that you receive don’t have to be reported as income; the IRS tax code states that anyone has a right to give a gift of a sum up to $12,000 to any person tax free. Basically what this means that is any money that you receive is yours to keep.

How much does it cost? Most programs have various entry levels, starting at as low as $75 and going up to $12,000. What you give determines what you can receive. For example, a person at a $1,000 level would be eligible to receive any sum under a thousand, but if they received $2,000 they would pass that up to their upline. For every gift you pass up, you build credit - that’s how you move up to the higher levels.

How much can you expect to make? That depends on how much you’re willing to work. Marketing is the secret to success; you would be writing articles, posting videos, sending out postcards and “blasting out” phone messages. You could do all of that or only some of it – the results would vary accordingly. A successful cash gifting entrepreneur typically receives anywhere from $500 to $10,000 a week.

As you can see, there are many relatively easy ways to make money online. What you need in order to succeed is good marketing training. If you choose cash gifting or MLM, the person your sign up under (your mentor) has to be able to teach you all of the best marketing techniques.

Good luck in all of your online business ventures!

Cash Gifting Marketing with Myspace – Find Out How to Market Cash Gifting on Myspace.com For Free

Over the last few years cash leveraging has become one of the most popular home based opportunities on the Internet. Chances are, if you’re reading this article, you either belong to a gifting club or are interested in joining one, but would like to find out more about the specifics, especially about cash gifting marketing.

As an online biz “rookie”, you should initially try marketing methods that require no or very small monetary investment, and, as you receive more gifts, upgrade to the more advanced cash gifting marketing strategies. Myspace.com is a great place to start.

For those of you who don’t know, Myspace.com is a social network that accommodates more then 200,000,000 users. It’s no wonder that so many businesses are marketing their products on Myspace – no matter what you’re selling, there is definitely an audience for it on Myspace.

The first thing you would need to do to launch your Myspace cash gifting marketing into motion is create a Myspace page. Make sure you sign up as a regular user, NOT as an artist or a comedian. The next step is to design your page to make it attractive to potential prospects. Myspace allows HTML and CSS codes. If you’re not fluent in writing Internet pages, the best bet for you is to look for an appealing Myspace layout that you can use as a template. Once you found the template, add the codes into the “About Me” section of your profile. Save the images used in your template; open them using a program like Photoshop. Create your original content in place of the images. Save it and post it on an image hosting web-site like picturetrail.com or your own FTP server. Replace the image URLs in the HTML code in the “About Me” section with the URLs for your new images. Voila! You’ve got a customized Myspace page.

If you don’t own a license to a program like Photoshop or don’t know much about HTML, perhaps you should ask your team leaders (if you’re already a member of a cash gifting program) whether they provide Myspace layouts for their team members. For example, I offer a custom MS layout for my team members completely free of charge.

Once your page is designed, it’s time to think about beginning your cash gifting marketing. A great way to reach your potential prospects is to search through Myspace discussion groups and forums that are designed for opportunity seekers. “Home business” and “Internet marketing” type groups are a typical hangout for those types of people.

There are two ways to go about contacting them. The first is quite a bit more time consuming but very effective. You would have to join those groups and participate in discussions. ALWAYS use a resource box below any posting you write. If you give good advice, people will be sure to check out your web-site.

The quicker way to go about this is to hire someone to get in touch with your potential leads for you. My team and I use very reliable software that ‘collects” the friend IDs of potential prospects and puts them into a text file. With such a file, those people could be contacted directly. You could hire a programmer from another country that could do that at a very affordable rate. My team and I work with a few very reliable programmers from India that send out 50,000-70,000 messages a month for any individual on the team.

The last thing is to make sure that your messages and your page seem friendly and not “in your face” about marketing your cash leveraging system. Post a few pictures of your family, include information about your favorite music – anything that makes you seem human can really help establish a trust relationship with your Myspace “friends”

Myspace marketing, however effective it may be, should just be a small part of your cash gifting marketing strategy. Blogging, article marketing, video marketing, postcard marketing, email blasts and other marketing methods should be on your plate next. If you’re not yet a member of a cash leveraging system, make sure that the person you join under gives you GOOD MARKETING TRAINING. I can’t stress this enough! Effective marketing is going to be the key to your success.

Make Money Online Fast: a Pipe Dream or a Real Possibility?

“Click Here and Make Money Online Fast!” “Retire Next Month with This Online Opportunity!” These are the types of advertisements that belabor the person performing a Google search for “Internet home based business”. A few minutes of this “brainwash”, and the gullible opportunity seeker falls into thinking that making money online is a fast and easy deal… They rush to the bank, eager to write a check to their “sponsors”… a few days later they are inundating the search engines with their own “Make Money Online Fast” content… others are attracted to the business… the “chain of fools” never ends…

It does seem possible to make money online, fast and easy, yet there are thousands of forum posts, blogs and videos from ex-affiliates of different online businesses, claiming that they were “scammed” (aka unsuccessful).

So, why are some online entrepreneurs “raking in” a fortune, while others don’t see a penny? More importantly, are YOU going to join the ranks of those who are prospering or will you be disappointed?

The key to your online biz success, as I see it, is not the opportunity you pick or what you spend on advertising, but your own development as an entrepreneur. Yes, it is possible to plug into a “turn-key” business system and make some “fast” online money… but is that what you really want? Wouldn’t you rather sustain long-term success and reap benefits from your hard work for years to come?

When I coach my team of inexperienced online entrepreneurs, one of the first things I tell them is that the “conversion rate” of their website is vital to their success. They could be getting a ton of web-site opt-ins, phone calls and emails… but the only thing that really matters is the number of actual “sales” they make. When a customer is making up their mind about your product/opportunity, they are creating a “mental scale” with a favorable decision on one side, and a negative one on the other. What can you do to “tip” the scale to the positive side? The answer is simple: provide personal value.

Let’s face it - there are hundreds, if not thousands of affiliates promoting your opportunity on the Net. What can you do to stand out? Separate yourself by providing great support to your “team”: share your experience, provide good marketing advice, inspire confidence and enthusiasm. In other words, be a leader! It’s vital that you establish the same atmosphere of professionalism and creativity as a successful traditional business. Your team members will perform well, and your new prospects will recognize the value you offer and join your opportunity, instead of someone else’s…

Honing your marketing chops and leadership skills is vital in your development as an online entrepreneur, I can’t stress this enough! Even if you’re a naturally shy person with no business experience, you can still put yourself in a highly advantageous position compared to most online marketers, which are not focused on their personal growth.

In order to be successful you must:

1. Learn and never stop learning. Marketing is the key to any successful business: make sure you study it thoroughly and try various techniques to find what works best for you and your business.

2. Believe in yourself. This might sound obvious, but you would be amazed at how many people get discouraged after the first week or so of marketing their new business. They don’t see immediate results and they lose faith. You have to understand that building your presence as a marketer will take some time. It’s my strong belief that anyone can be successful in online business if they give it the time it deserves to grow.

So, in conclusion, should you go for one of the “Make Money Online Fast” advertisements? Perhaps. Just make sure you pick a mentor that knows a lot about marketing and will give you good training and support; a mentor that will inspire you to become a good mentor yourself. It’s okay to choose a relatively inexperienced person as long as he/she is willing to help you. Just don’t settle for anyone who lacks professionalism and/or commitment!

Cash Gifting Scam - Is Cash Gifting Just Another Rip-Off? (Cash Gifting Scam)

I was called a SCAM ARTIST...

…by a young man who saw one of my blogs dedicated to cash gifting. He wrote an angry email, claiming that all cash gifting mentors were nothing but a “big bunch of rip-offs”. Naturally, I felt hurt by such a statement, so I wrote back asking why it was that he thought that…

Turns out that he was enticed into joining a high price cash gifting club a few months ago, but still hasn’t gotten one single gift. When I asked him what he did to market his opportunity, he said that he hung up some posters at his college and posted a few Craigslist ads…

It’s stories like this that make people believe that cash gifting is a scam… A Scam… A word that is casually tossed around by many… But how many people do actually KNOW what a scam is?

I have looked it up in an online dictionary, and it turns out the definition of the verb “To Scam” is “to deprive of by deceit”. A horrible action, only one step away from stealing…

Now, let’s consider cash gifting. The meaning of the word itself is “the act of giving”… to give something to someone, to help out another person, to show good will… How can an act so well-intentioned get confused with something that, by definition, is its EXACT OPPOSITE?

These are the MAIN REASONS why some consider CASH GIFTING A SCAM:

• A lot of people are traditional. The tradition dictates that you must work very hard and for a really long time to provide some bread and butter for your old age. Some guy/girl getting THOUSANDS of dollars cash EVERY WEEK? Why, that’s absurd by the standards of the conventional worldview!

• Ex-affiliates spreading around the story of their failure. “I Got Scammed With Cash Gifting!” “Beware of the Cash Gifting Scam!” “They Took My Money And Ran!”. 9 times out of 10 these poor “scamees” joined a cash gifting program, expecting to receive CEO income while sitting on their behind in front of the TV. IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY. Like anything else, it takes determination, commitment and willingness to learn.

• Bad mentors. They have successfully attracted a few cash gifting hopefuls by plugging into their program’s co-ops or postcard marketing system, but they have no idea about any other kinds of marketing and they don’t want to/ don’t have time to learn. These guys are bad news if you’re signed up under them. They will be no help to you whatsoever, and almost everybody on their team is not going to ever see a dime from cash gifting… These unfortunate team members will be sure to let the world know that they were “scammed in cash gifting”, while, in fact, they got “dogged” by their individual mentor, NOT the system.

• Legal Worries. Although cash gifting programs are clearly legal (see the law here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p950.pdf), many people are fearful… In case you’re wondering, cash gifting clubs have been around for about 8 years and no one has ever gotten into any trouble.

A combination of all of these elements has created a lot of bad vibes around the concept of cash gifting… A concept that is PURE and based on KINDNESS; that has helped people that were losing their jobs and/or going through foreclosure break free from their financial problems…

If you’re reading this, chance are, you’re not close-minded like most folks. Please, do yourself a favor and LEARN MORE about CASH GIFTING (http://ToGiveAndToReceive) You don’t have to give anybody your precious money yet – just take a few minutes to read some more information. You might decide that it’s not for you… or you might decide to give it a whirl and end up becoming one of the most prominent cash gifting mentors on the scene.

The choice is yours.

Affordable Cash Gifting – Is There Such Thing As A Low Cost Cash Gifting Program?

So, you have heard of cash gifting as one of the most popular opportunities on the Net, and you’re considering giving it a try?.. The only question is, what program should you join?

Chances are, if you have tried to google ‘affordable cash gifting” or “low cost gifting”, the results have been skim. Most programs’ entry levels start at a few hundred dollars and sky rocket up into thousands… These are the lowest entry levels for some of the more popular cash leveraging systems:

• Ecosov - $6,800
• Magnetic Cash Gifting - $500
• TOCS - $250
• Cash Arrives 365 - $500

So, how can a person that is completely new to gifting try out a cash leveraging program without putting considerable investment on the table? Is there an affordable cash gifting system, that is “cheap” only cost-wise, but otherwise extremely competitive?

The answer is YES…

The most affordable cash gifting program around right now is The Abundant Living System. The lowest entry level of this program being only $75 USD, it is a great solution for anyone who is just starting out in the field of online marketing…

For a cost of a dinner at a decent steakhouse, the members of ALS gain access to exclusive marketing training materials, their own ALS website, customizable with video and images, a Free autoresponder that blasts targeted messages to prospects, a back office with tools for tracking their gifts and managing their team and leads and other high quality materials.

Some of the other highlights of the ALS program are:

• The new “Pay It Forward” Program, which randomizes some of the cash gifts, making it possible for ANY member to receive cash gifts, even if they’re doing NOTHING.
• The new “Proprietory 1-UP” program, that allows members to quickly upgrade to higher levels without having to give up a lot of cash gifts.
• The new live marketing webinars, conducted by cash gifting experts from all over the world.

I have done extensive research on cash gifting online, and The Abundant Living System truly struck me as the most extraordinary program of all. Not only they provide great tools to their members, there also seem to genuinely care about them! There is a free live support chat, available 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and most of the technical support requests are resolved within hours.

Although “helping others” is what lies at the core of cash gifting, a lot of the programs have adopted a new, more business-like approach, drawing attention away from what cash gifting is all about. I was relived to find that The Abundant Living System was respectful of the traditions of gifting, which are all based on good will, NOT building a pyramid scheme…

Of course, don’t take my word for it – never trust some blog your just dug up online –visit The Abundant Living System website, so you can make up your own mind. If you do decide to give ALS (or a different system) a shot, remember that a good mentor is going to be key to your success. He or she will have to not only have online marketing experience but also be committed to helping you achieve your goals.

Well, I hope this was good info. Best of luck to you in all of your cash gifting endeavors!
