Work at Home Typing Job Info

If you’re interested in finding a work at home job doing typing or data entry, you’ll see a lot of advertisements for this.

Here at the work at home blog, we aim to provide helpful info. We display potential money making opportunities as well but believe people need to be aware of exactly what they’re getting into before they buy into a program to help them work from their home.

Be very careful about many of the typing jobs listed as a real work at home opportunity. Many of them are in fact opportunities but can be a bit misleading as they are not what they seem. This doesn’t mean that they’re not legitimate work at home opportunities but in order to decide if they’re worth pursuing you should learn more about what they entail.

What you ‘think’ a work at home typing job may be:

You might expect a company to be willing to pay you to do typing for them. Data entry jobs and other work at home admin jobs are out there. What you might notice in the ads is that some of these advertisements say that you can make a small fortune typing short ads. What this is, is called pay-per-click advertising.

Sure, you type ads but generally, no one is paying you to do it. In fact, you’re paying to post those ads. This type of job is a commission based affiliate marketing job that requires you to pay for sponsored Google advertisements advertising a product or service. If people click the ad and buy something, you make a commission. Sounds pretty good, right? Well it definitely can be and there are a lot of people making a great income at this but there’s a definite risk here. You’re going to have to pay for the advertisements and there is no guarantee of income because you only make money if people buy from you. Pay-per-click advertising is competitive and expensive.

Are there real typing jobs?

Of course there are companies looking for virtual assistants and administrative help. More companies than ever are utilising remote workforces. Some call center jobs and data entry jobs do pay an hourly wage for people to work from home doing mostly typing but you have to be very careful to read the fine print and know precisely what you are signing up for.

Affiliate marketing definitely offers a great opportunity to make money online and develop passive income streams but it is something that is pure commission-based instead of being salary- based and by doing it, you’re working for yourself instead of working for a company.

Sure, there are books and programs you can buy that can teach you how to turn typing ads into a potential income but for those looking for data entry jobs from home, they need to realise that affiliate marketing and pay per click advertising is not the same thing as a typical online data entry job.

If you’re interested in learning more about work at home job opportunities such as data entry and call center jobs, dig through our archives as we list many real wah leads. If you’re interested in your own home- based business through something like affiliate marketing, my friend Matt Bredel has recently launched his new Tru-Guru program which is a money-back guarantee membership-based program that can teach you everything you want to know about earning money at home with your computer step by step through video tutorials, cheat sheets, and more so that you can become a true guru at making money on the net.

Whether you want to work for someone else or work for yourself, the work at home lifestyle definitely has some perks!

Of course you’ll have paid the small subscription fee to get the free book but I do assure you, there are a lot of great ideas in there and the Tru-Guru subscription can be cancelled at any time (plus offers a money back guarantee).

Learning to make money online

Some people look for work at home jobs to make extra money. But many of them soon realize that there is a huge potential for a home-based business that you’re the boss of instead. Instead of working for someone else, you could start several different types of online businesses such as: affiliate marketing biz, creating an online dropshipping store, to create and market your own products, and more.

The most important aspect of searching for income opportunities on the web is research and Matthew Bredel has bundled several years of trial, error, research, and great results into his informative products.

Check out his free SEO Exciter Series to get a free sampling of his helpful teaching style when he shows you more than the basics of how he uses organic search engine optimization techniques to dominate the search engines in his niche (bringing him traffic and profit!).

I’d love your feedback on what you think of the book and the Tru-Guru program.

Cheers to your online success!

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

A lot of people, including sahms are looking to make money online in their spare time (as if they have any!)so look to affiliate marketing as an option. Affiliate marketing, also known as internet marketing is increasingly popular as a way to make money online.

Stay at home parents, work at home entrepreneurs, and people looking to up their income are looking at monetizing their computers with affiliate marketing. It can be done in your spare time and you can even fire your boss and do it full time if you are really good at it.

How does affiliate marketing work?

Companies pay people sales commission for facilitating a sale for them. That means that you don’t have to physically sell the product but you do have to get people to buy a product through your link. Companies that have affiliate programs will set up a system that allows you to use a specific link to get people to buy from you or there are other ways to capture data about the sale as well. You can work through affiliate programs for individual companies and through affiliate networks.

How do you get affiliate sales?

There are a multitude of options for getting people to buy through your link. You can simply capture the attention of people who are looking for something specific and get them to buy through you and you can also pre-sell someone on that something specific so you create sales for yourself. This can be done any number of ways such as:

  • pay per click advertising
  • writing product reviews
  • niche blogging
  • article marketing
  • e-mail marketing
  • and more

What sorts of products can be sold through affiliate programs?

You name it and you can probably be an affiliate for it. It’s a win-win for the company selling it because they capture more sales and only pay you if there’s an actual sale. You can sell physical retail products and you can sell dowloadable products, and you can sell services such as consulting, memberships, and more. Affiliate marketing opens many doors of possibility once you learn a bit about target audiences, keyword targeting, search engine optimization, social media, and other aspects of online marketing.

How do you get paid?

Affiliate programs work in different ways. Some programs pay you instantly per sale via PayPal. Some programs send you checks when you reach specified payment thresholds. You’ll want to read all the fine print in any program you consider joining and look at what others say about the profitability of that program. Results will vary but looking into the potential of various programs is smart before investing time and / or money in them.

How can you learn to be a successful internet marketer?

You can find many online sources of free entrepreneur information and you can take some shortcuts and get earning sooner if you buy information products that are guaranteed to teach you. (For example, a friend and mentor, Matthew Bredel recently launched a learning program called Tru-Guru that teaches you how to start your own online business and if you join you get a free copy of the book “No Money Marketing” that I co-wrote) There’s a lot to learn but this can be a huge potential opportunity for you to supplement your income, replace your income, or get debt free and save for something awesome.
