Easiest of jobs onilne

I've started this blog to help the new entrepreneurs. My target is to answering commonly asked question in as details as possible by me. Now I think if I put things with example it will be easy for the new entrepreneurs.

Every new comer always wants to start with an easy one. So their first question comes in this way-- What is the easiest of jobs online can we start with?

Yes, there are some opportunities which are very easy. But the thing is that, most of these opportunities available online are scams, that is fraud, in simple word.

First what are the jobs--

  • Online survey
  • Type-at-home

Again- these are mostly scams. Very few are rewarding but there was no guarantee that they will last long. In time they may also turn out to be scams. Most of the times these jobs are ill-payed. Let me go into more details. Let me take survey for example, survey companies will pay you definitely, but you will not be given that much survey to complete to earn enough money. Moreover the companies have a minimum payout. The amount of survey one can get is so small that earning that minimum amount take a longer period than you expect.

Type at home jobs are usually copy/paste ad jobs. That is you have to copy and paste ads for some company for which company will pay you. Here same thing happens in scam type at home jobs. Some type at home jobs will pay you. You have to join cautiously.

You can try here to work with some companies for type-at-home jobs and online surveys as a new entrepreneurs. It's have a satisfactory report in BBB. And if you want try to have success step by step with the instruction of successful entrepreneurs, you can try here.

Do the free services work?

This is one of the commonest question of many new entrepreneurs. I want to rephrase the question for them. Why should free services work? Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to tell that free things are bogus and don't work. I am just making you think it in another way.

If you are not spending money in the first place, then how could you expect others to give you money. Why are you trying to do online business? Because you need money for some reason which may vary from person to person. But one thing is sure that you need money. So if you don't spend then why the business provider will spend money for you. If you don't want to spend money in the first place then it indicates that you have no will to push it forwards.


Have you ever been in a thought that, why the service providers are providing free services? They also want to earn money. The free things are like sample which will convince you to use the paid services. So you should have the target to use free services to choose the better one for you and for which you should spend. Some free services also brings results but in the expense of your time. And sometimes this time you spend for free services is not worthy of spending at all.

So the best way is to spend money and give a try if you have money. But if you haven't money at all to spend, then you have no choice but to go for free ones. Here you have to be more patience than usual. Because success with free services needs time. If you haven't have enough money then you have to spend some money and some of your time that is a combination.

I'm just giving you a thought. Wish you every success.

Free vs Paid services

Work at home jobs are actually one type of business. Here you need to invest something to get something in return. Whenever a person invests something, the person tries to invest as low as the person can and collect profits as much as the person can. It is a very natural phenomenon. This tendency to invest lower amount is the target of a business provider who are already in the field. To get a better result a free service providing trend has started. And naturally people are trying for that free opportunities more than anything.

Now internet is full of free things. New home business intrepreneurs are always searching free things on internet to start their business. But before starting most of them start to ask themselves and many others that, do the free services work?

Coming with this question soon....

Do I need a website of my own to run a "work at home" business?

If I want to answer this in one word then I have to say, yes. why?
Let us see what are online/work at home opportunities available--

  • "Paid to" jobs
  • Online survey
  • Selling own products
  • Selling products own by others
  • Network building

Among these-- paid to jobs are mainly scams or low paid. Surveys are also low paid. If anyone joins a paid to job- paid to read emails for example, the person will get 0.02 cents to read a mail. And to make sure that you read the mail the set some timer that sets time for 15 seconds to maximum 2 minutes for each mail. Now calculate how much time you need to earn a dollar. If a mail takes 15 secs at least then you will need (1/0.02=50; 50*15sec=750 seconds; 750/60=12.5 minutes). The equation seems good enough. But the fact is that you will not get more than 2-3 mails a day. So to earn a dollar you will need at least 2 weeks. Another thing which many new entrepreneurs don't know initially. That is every company has a minimum payout option. The scams don't let you reach that minimum amount. So anyone trying to work from should be aware about that. There are many other work at home scams. But here I am going to talk more about how to get into a real work at home job.

Now come to main point. Legal, real online jobs are mainly different types of affiliate programs where you will sell some products or build a network by recruiting people to your business. In these jobs the job provider will provide affiliate site through which you will promote your business. After joining these companies/job opportunities you will be provided with some training and some e-books and some affiliate site.

How will you promote your business/work at home opportunities?

The effective ways to promote are--

  1. PPC
  2. Classified ad
  3. Ezine - solo ad
  4. Exchange
    • Traffic
    • Banner
    • Link
  5. Search engine

Now think- in any legal online job opportunity there are thousands of affiliates that are trying to promote similar types of product through similar types of web interface with somewhat similar URL that can be seperated only by the affiliate id which is being included in the affiliate Url. The number of online entrepreneurs are increasing such a rate that these ad sites get lots of similar sites everymoment which raise some problem in rating websites. So some of the major sites providing these above services have started to reject affiliate sites.

Again, think- thousands of affiliates are promoting through similar types of site. Then why and how do you expect that customers will like your site and take action through your site? Your site is not different in anyway than others.

Again, affiliate url is usually large and difficult to remember. If you have your own site, it will be easier to do an offline advertising. Because it will then be possible to promote your site even during a light conversation.

You may think that it may be troublesome to maintain a website because-

  • don't know html
  • don't know java
  • don't have any idea about web designing

Internet has made all very easy. Now web templates are available online free of cost. Also you can learn html very easily online. There are many sites that are giving away free java scripts and what not. Online free sources are more than sufficient to start an online business. But with the free ones you'll need more time to spend which is expected.

If you understand the benefits of having a website for your online/work at home business then you'll take the pain to spend some time for building a website. So what are the benefits:

  1. You'll have a short and simple url for your business
  2. You'll be able to use one site for multiple opportunities
  3. You'll be able to take huge advantage of search engine by optimizing your site for your target people
  4. You'll be able to earn some extra money by using adsense
  5. You can promote your business by helping others in your own way
  6. You can build your own network which you can use for many other new coming business

"Work at home" or "work from home", whatever you may say; this is one of the most searched topic now-a-days. People search for this for many reason.
  1. People want more control over their life with more freedom.
  2. People want some extra income to lead a comfortable life.
  3. People want some extra income to come out of debt.
  4. People want so many things that need some extra money.

Internet has opened a big opportunity for these types of people. By the grace of internet people now can earn money from their home. Of course this is not the main use of internet. But "online income" is becoming one of the popular cause of using internet. When a person is convinced that one can earn from home by internet, the first question may arise in someones mind is that-- What is needed to start a job online that is "work at home job"?

The following things are required:

  • An internet connection
  • Computer skill
  • Internet browsing skill
  • Some training according to the work
  • Time and money(optional and needed when you want quick result) to spend.
  • A website (optional but becoming essential)

When starting an "online business" or "work at home scheme" one should remember following:
