Making Money Online.. At Work?

    I work 8 hours a day in front of a computer answering phones, I have plenty of free-time and want to make some extra dough.

    What would be the best fool-proof idea to do this? I know there is alot of options (parked domains, affiliates, etc) but I was not sure what is the best method for a novice?

    I can devote 8hrs a day, and REALLY need the extra income to afford food/gas, I can barley make rent and live off of ramen currently, so I really need some extra income.

    So what would you guys suggest?

    I tried that for 2 weeks, I wrote 4-5 articles a day, but got no traffic or money. I made $10 in a week, but that was with ALOT of work posting it around on multiple forums..

    Be patient with it and don't expect instant returns. What you're doing now is exactly what you should do with your time... research, research, research. It will take a while to build up a good PR on your site, but once you get there you will have a great opportunity to make some decent money. $10 in a week isn't bad for now, thats $40 in a month. That pays for a utility bill, or a decent meal for your significant other. Or better yet take the $40 a month and reinvest it. Don't try to earn money right away, take your time and build up your business. That way in a couple of months you'll be making even more money.

    you can sell your signature in dp.
    first make your signature as it shows up in post created after you made your signature.

    You probably have an internet filter at your work which will **** you over from doing it though. Becuase you won't be able to get onto important websites you need.

    You have 8 hours a day and you only use it to write 5 articles? That is not productive at all and you are already claiming that the effort is tiring? You got to put in effort to earn. No one starts earning thousands by writing just 4-5 articles at the start.

    YOu need more time than that... As you post, be sure to optimize for specific key terms within your niche. If you build niche organic content targeted at specific key terms, you'll get traffic and a lot of it if you keep writing however, it takes time for google to really rank you site. Keep building content, links and more and you'll get the page rank needed to really boost your income. You can also get paid to blog by PayPerPost about assigned products, services and more - I had a PayPerPost Paid to Blog review here as well. Hope This Helps & Best of luck to you.

    And even if no filter exists, most employment contracts do not permit use of their resources to run your own business, as you're not being paid to do that and their resources aren't supposed to be used in that way. In most instances, it can be a valid reason for dismissal.

    Use the $10 you made to buy a screen protector so you don't get fired

    hey!

    the best way to get started is to pick a well performing affiliate program on clickbank,
    start a site on that site, make a decent squeeze page and start writing and submitting
    free articles.

    All you need to do , if you're a beginner is to get quality double opt in subscribers.

    could could easily get to this point, by offering some valuable reports that you've
    written for free on the area of your choice.

    let me know if you have any questions in understanding this concept..

    it is pretty easy and the guru's follow it extensively..

    cheers,
    venkata

    He said he's at work for those 8 hours. Maybe, you know, his employer actually expects him to work for some of those 8 hours.

    I suggest you try freelancing work.

    There are free to join freelance sites, join them and start making money via working in the free time you get while at work.

    Is your employer OK with you doing extra work in between calls? Be careful because most workplaces can check what you are doing on the net if you are working from their offices.

    Assuming that is OK, why not try doing paid surveys? This will earn you more than you have been getting, and is easy to do.

    There are other more lucrative work from home deals too, where you work as an affiliate for other people's products.

    See details of the best of these opportunties reviewed here

    Or if you really want to go for it with affiliate marketing (you can get paid up to 75% of the sale price of digital products), or even start creating your own products (you don't have to write them, you can hire this out for a few dollars) - then try this program. They teach you everything you need to do to become an affiliate marketer - in great detail. It's an amazing learning experience, and it gets you from newbie to earning super fast.

    Good luck!

    I think you need to look at the long term here. You say you stopped blogging cause you were not seeing big enough results. It's like anything you have to do the hard work to start with, before you start to see results and sometimes that takes 6-12 months. But it's worth it!
