On Work from Home Productivity

Being ones own boss is the dream of so many of us. But lets not forget that a job is something that needs to be done.

I thought of one thing today that I wanted to share with you. Like any other offline jobs, work from home can also be so tricky. With the computer and the internet, we can do so many things. We can upload the pictures we just took, share it and blog it. We can skype our friends and talk about the business. We can research about something we have may or may it not be work-related. But wait! What have we accomplished?

Tricky huh? All day long you thought you have been working. But look again, if there is no signs of changes in your webpage, I doubt what you have been doing.

My tip: Stick to your daily routine. Print it and post it so it will always remind you. The clock in in the home office is as important as the clock in the city office. There is time to read the newspaper for a refresher. Time for a coffee break. Time to chat. And time to WORK.

TWO AFFILIATE NETWORKS I’m Starting with

I have always been looking for ways on how to make money online. My Data Team introduced me to PayDotCom and Clickbank. So I really owe my first few knowledge in affiliate marketing with them.

>>>Click here if you are interested with
My Data Team.
>>>I also talked about My Data Team in this post.

Affiliate Marketing is another term in the online world. There are hundreds of affiliate networks out there but for the meantime, I’m signing up with PayDotCom and ClickBank. They are affiliate networks. Both are simple to use for both sellers (merchant, advertiser, vendor…they mean the same thing) and an affiliate (or publisher). A seller’s product will be listed in the affiliate network’s marketplace. The affiliate network has thousands of affiliates that can pick up your product and promote it. So if you are a seller, you have to set your commissions high enough to attract affiliates.

I’m not a seller so I’ll talk more of my position. An affiliate is someone who promotes any product in the network’s marketplace. When a buyer purchase the product through your promotions, you will get the commissions of up to 80%.

Of course, there is no cost to join an affiliate network to be their affiliate. There are many products to sell so these companies need more people to promote their products. The good thing here is you can work to as many companies as you wish.

Watch this video to get a closer look on how Affiliate Marketing Works with PayDotCom

What I like more about PDC is that some vendors has added their own promotional materials ready for you to use such as emails, different banners and other promotional tools.

So if you really want to start an online business and you don’t have something to sell, why not start signing up with these simple networking programs and start promoting. I think this can be very lucrative if done with the right promotion and technique.

Affiliate Network Marketing - What Made Others Earn Big Bucks?

Affiliate Marketing is one of the most stable internet make money scheme. Like any other job, it needs a lot of learning to do the job. And anyone can do it.

As we all have observed, the internet is becoming the best place to market any products and services. It is so huge that millions may know what a company is advertising and so huge as well to target the right market. So these companies are looking for affiliates or data operators in order to help them market their product.

You earn through affiliate marketing most often through commissions. The higher the sales the company earn through you, the more you earn. Some companies also pay you for just having people visit their site without buying, that's what they call leads. And some pays you for a flat rate for just displaying their banners into your blogs or websites. Most of them pay you through PayPal but you can suggest or request to get paid via direct checks too if you wish.

I have to be honest that the first few months were tough. I felt there are too much to learn before earning that huge amount of income that programs are promising. But I don't regret having started this kind of career. Working and earning at the comforts of your home with flexible hours makes it rewarding in itself.

If you are interested, you have to sign up with some of the affiliate networks. Don't worry, they are free to join. These affiliate networks are connected with thousands of companies who are looking for affiliates to market their product. At this point, here are the networks I am working with:

  • Paydotcom - over 600,000 affiliates now are making money with this network. You can earn as much as 80% commissions. Paydotcom also makes work easier and faster since they provide ready promotional tools for the affiliates. There are ready made emails for you to send out and advertisement lines for you to post. Check this video below.

  • Clickbank - there are thousands of digital products available in this network for you to promote.

My Data Team Review - 100% Legit

After countless internet research, I finally found a legit work from home program. I learned about working from home, things like blogging, data entry, paid surveys, affiliate marketing 2 years ago. I was never interested. Again, like many of us would think, I thought they were just another of the many internet scams. But not until I found this work from home program, I was converted.

My-Data-Team for me is the best and most legitimate work from home program out there. It positively qualifies to the lists and tips for work from home legitimacy.

In their website you can see that it has three credentials namely Web Assured Certified, Scam X Certified, Paypal Business Certified. With research and joining from other forums, I have found out that it has also been favorited by many.

I am a member of this program and find it very impressive that it is packed with software, training, video tutorials, research, companies, jobs and resources that is needed for all of the team members. The instructions are very easy to follow, even beginners can never go wrong. I can say that this program is very comprehensive and I am glad to have signed up for My-Data-Team. There is no way I would have found out so much information about making money online without this program.

My-Data-Team specializes in Global Data Entry. They have been dealing with Data Entry for 7 years. And they were the first to introduce Global Data Entry. In fact, they made a news when they launched the program.

You can see the story HERE

My Data Team also includes Work from Home training in:
  1. Traditional Data Entry
  2. Article Writing
  3. General Transcription
  4. Business Coding
  5. Data Research
What I like best about My-Data-Team is their 24/7 online support. I signed up for this program in May 2008. I read the program and I knew they are legitimate. For some reason, I was not able to continue. Months later, I remembered my lifetime membership so I emailed the team and ask for a new password as I forgot mine. In no time, I were able to get in the secured webpage with the new password they provided.

Top Work from Home Programs

Okay, I have always asked why we need to spend some dollars for these programs. I made another post about it. Check why is there a fee to join HERE.

Moving on, let's see these relevant sites that offer work from home jobs. These are the sites that I have visited and some I have personally signed-up myself with. So I know they are legitimate and far from being a scam. (Check how to spot a scam here.)
  • My Data Team - this work from home program offers Global Data Entry and Traditional Data Entry Jobs. More on my MyDataTeam review here.

  • Online Best Surveys - this is another lucrative work from home idea. There are thousands of online companies worldwide who will pay you for each survey you can complete. Signing up to this work from home program will give you instant access to over 500 companies. Online companies can pay as much as $125 for each survey depending on the length of surveys to complete. You can also participate in online focus groups that can earn you $50-$150 per hour.
  • Web Colleague Work from Home Typing Program - If you have a knack in writing, this one is for you. This kind of work from home job has nothing to do with typing ads, sending emails or posting to classifieds. This is a real article writing program.
If you visited the sites and took time to read the salespage, you can see that they include a lot of bonuses for money's worth. You can also see the "Risk-Free", "Money Back Guaranteed", or "Satisfaction Guaranteed". That means you can ask them back your money, no questions asks, if ever you are dissatisfied with their service. That's how confident they are.

I have chosen carefully these three programs. There are still more that are legitimate but these I found excellent tutorial and online service.

As soon as I can review more legitimate programs, I'll to post them.

Why is there a Fee to Join?

***
Back to TOP WORK FROM HOME PROGRAMS here.
***

I actually I tried asking them why is there a fee to join. Fortunately I was able to gather their honest answer. Of course, they have to hire and pay employees to give their members 24/7 online support. Another is for the maintenance of their websites and other research expenses.

So do we really need to spend to be a member of their programs. Yes and no. NO because there are actually millions of websites in the internet to get information from on ways on how to earn extra income from home. But YES because the internet is saturated with tips where to begin, suggestions how to do it, advise what and what not to do, etc etc. When you start researching, you will see how you will be bombarded with all of these and you can get started anytime. Ironically you just can't. With the thousands and hundreds more of information and sites that offer you free information, you will lose your direction and waste your time. I'm telling this especially to beginners who have zero knowledge how to begin.

I am personally recommending My-Data-Team for beginners. Check my My Data Team review here.

I Wrote My First Work from Home Ezine

One of the best tool to promote your product is writing ezines and submit it to various websites that hosts ezines. I just submitted an article to EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com, etc. Someone told me not to submit a complete duplicate of articles in various websites so I consider changing some lines or keywords for my articles. This is how it goes:

Many people nowadays are taking advantage of the internet. They conduct their work at their own terms, as far as when they will do the work and how it is being accomplished so we call it work from home. Of course the hustle and bustle of everyday commuting is no longer required. The work from home potential is endless since there are countless ways on how to do it. Home-based business is one of the fastest, easiest and the smartest way that people are so fascinated into. The internet is so full of work from home jobs and opportunities. We see different programs offering work from home jobs, promising gross amounts of money just with a computer and an internet connection. And your income depends on how hard you work and how much time you devote to it.

Although these programs have become so popular and many have embraced this idea, many are still doubtful, if not, afraid to take the risk. With the numerous scams in the internet, who isn't? Trying to find the best work from home program that answers our needs is sometimes the hardest thing to do. And just when you think that you have chosen the right site, it may end up being a scam.

In the article above that I submitted to various ezine hosting websites, I'm not promoting a product. But I'm linking it to my blog which is this blog.

Tips on how to Spot a Scam!

There are literally millions of home-based business or work from home job opportunities in the internet. Everywhere are banners, text ads, buttons, videos, ebooks advertising that they are legitimate. But like so many would attest, finding the best work from home program can be difficult. While there are legitimate work from home programs, there are really scams with nothing in hand but rob money from you.

I had also been scammed too a year ago. I paid for a Paid Survey Program through PayPal. Oh and they are tricky. You can talk to them through the telephone and have them reply to the emails. But weeks later, they were just not answering my emails regarding dead sites and other issues. I felt I just need to call them more because the program is not a program at all. It was merely a list of companies offering payments for surveys. And many sites were dead or they simply said, 'Sorry, this is not available in your area'. It was horrible. One mistake I realized after that was, I did not check the salespage thoroughly. There was no money-back guarantee nor any certifications. The ebook they had as a bonus was no more than a sign-up instruction.

With that, I was able to gather some tips on finding a work from home programs without being scammed. So always,
  • Read through the salespage carefully. Look for the "No-Risk" sign (money-back gurantee) and other certifications. Look also for physical address, telephone number and an email address. Bare in mind that they are scammers. They lure you into something that is not there so keep an eye to these.
  • Do some research. Read about other's ideas. Blogs like this are the perfect place to get advice and tips from. You can also seek answers from forums. People here share information. They praise good products and bust those that are not. These people are not afraid to voice out their opinions. If you still doubt, talk to friends who work from home, they'll share with you their experience and will be glad to welcome you to the same business.
  • Always be specific with your question like, 'how do I get paid?', 'can my country participate?'. These are the queries you should know especially when you are interested with Paid Surveys. See if it is global because most companies only accepts members from their country. This is also true for paid-to-shop and paid-to-watch-movies, etc.
  • Google it and see what the other websites or blogs have to say about it.
  • Lastly, if you think they are just going you into circles, LEAVE!

Pros and Cons of Working from Home

Having been working at home, I don't want to be bias not telling you its downside. So in this post, I will present to you the pros and cons of working from home. Although many would agree that the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, there are still a lot to consider when deciding on working from home.

The Disadvantages about Working from Home

Most of the time, the downfall of having a work from home jobs can be attributed to one's feelings over self, others and the work itself. For one, work from home can create feelings of isolation and boredom for there is less social interaction just sitting in your home office. Further, although work from home jobs is already popular and is widely accepted, one may feel inferior for not having the usual office outside of home.

Another thing that contributes to its downfall is lack of self-discipline. If you can't keep up with your schedule and you can't resist lengthy phone calls, TV programs, breaks, you can't also expect success. Keep in mind that the number one reason of this job choice is to spend more time with the family but having a home office can also be disadvantageous versus relationships with family. Logically, we may find it difficult to separate work from home life. Every now and then, we tend to check on emails and updates, and during spare time, we work because there are just so much to do.

The Advantages about Working from Home

The best benefit that Work from Home jobs has to offer is not having to commute. Commuting takes so much of our time and energy. With working from home, we can transform this non-productive hours into valuable time with ourselves or with the family. And when I say no commuting, I mean saving time, saving gas, saving money and saving the environment from added pollution. With less headache, our productivity and efficiency increase.

Setting up the office at home means there is no boss to follow. When you work from home, you are your own boss, you set your time, you set your deadline, you set the rules, you set the goals. Sick days and vacation leave will never be a problem anymore. And at home, there will never be office politics that keeps us distracted.

Thus, work from home jobs give us complete control over our working conditions. In the comforts of our home, we can set the environment just the way we want it to make it more conducive for us to finish our assignments. So say goodbye to your corporate attire!

Lastly, if you can do it right and follow easy guidelines, you will be assured of financial security.

The First Memo of a WAHMom

When I tell my friends that I’m starting to work from home, I often receive complementary responses. Oh well indeed, I am lucky to have stumbled upon these kind of work, to have this opportunity to earn extra income and to be there for my kids at the same time.

But hey, it is not at all easy. For the first few months, I spend sleepless nights trying to understand everything. I have no computer background so I literally started from scratch.

I read some mommy bloggers as well and I agree that it is indeed not uncommon that people would think that I’m lucky to do some things that they have no time to do.

As a beginner myself, I know how hard it is to understand the technical terms that pro-bloggers are talking about. Which is why I will write post in this blog as simple as possible for newbies out there who also want to start working at home. So come and let’s learn together.

By the way, if you think you have something to share, please don’t hesitate to leave advise, comments and suggestions in the comments area.

Start learning, start earning!
