Make Money at Home

First let’s examine the wrong places one would look:

• Gambling - Sure you MIGHT make a few extra dollars

  and leave it to chance to strike it BIG but you may be left a lot shorter

  than what you started with. Most gambling places rig the games so you first

  think you’re a winner then when you do, you spend even more and end up

  losing everything you put into the game and more!

• Borrowing - Well of course you can always do this, and if

  there’s no other option, this may be the fastest way to go but then you have

  to pay it back somehow, and if it’s with a credit card, interest adds up.

• Illegal Methods - you definitely know the consequences to

  using this approach, and believe me for the few hours of enjoyment it really

  isn’t worth the lifetime of how you will pay it back.

Now let’s look at some ways you CAN look for free money:

• Selling - Have some stuff stored in the garage that you

  don’t need? Put up a garage sale or take some pictures and put it on ebay.

  You’ll be surprised how someone’s used and dated items can become another

  person’s treasure.

• Providing Services - Have a skill or know of a way to

  solve a problem or fix something? Provide a service and put an ad in the

  local paper. You can even make some flyers and pass them around for more

  advertising.

• Get Another Job - If you already have a full time job and

  very busy afterwards, this is probably not the best answer. But sometimes an

  additional income can make all the difference.

• Stashing - If you already are making money but want to

  know the best way to find extra cash, then make yourself an allowance and

  every time you get paid, stash away some money in a sock or somewhere hidden

  that you could forget about it but will remember when it’s a rainy day.

• Grants - There are so many government and personalized

  grants that people don’t know about based on anything from your ethnicity to

  the size of your yard. you just have to find them. Here are a couple links

  that can get you started:

It’s amazing how you can earn such easy money with the power of Google Adsense. By easy, I mean you don’t need to make sales to generate money but just clicks on targeted ads. It couldn’t be that simple. Of course you need to drive traffic to your site and as with everything in internet business, you can’t get any income if you have no web traffic. Even if you can generate an extra $300-$500 per month, wouldn’t that make a difference in your life? I bet it will. Google Adsense can easily cover your web hosting fees and you are already running on a profit just by using adsense. Of course there are some people who are earning thousands and tens of thousands of dollars with this program but this is not the norm for most participants. Income will vary depending on many factors like targeted traffic, number of websites, the more the better, the theme of your site whether the keywords being targeted are high paying ones on adsense. If you have a network of websites on high paying adsense keywords, you will get much more. Mind you that it’s against Google terms to create websites for the sole purpose of generating income from adsense. Build a useful website, then integrate adsense in your content.

You need to realise that there are certain tips and techniques to take into consideration if you want to really profit from adsense. It’s not just slapping an ad on your site and watch the money rolling in. You need to tweak your ad whether it’s in appearance, placement or in content. Did you know that what you write on your web pages can have an effect on what ads appear on your web site? This is one of the key factors that can decide between a high earning adsense site and a low earning adsense one. Some keywords that are bidden on Google Adwords are extremely lucrative because they yield a high return on the clicks due to the fact that the advertisers are paying a hefty sum to get a top placement in the adwords ranking. The more you pay, generally you appear higher and in some niches, it costs a lot to get top ranking in adwords.

Say your site is about search engine optimization, you should try to write content focussing on this subject well so that you have ads on this topic. If some advertisers bidding on adwords have paid quite a lot for them and these advertisers’ ads appear on your site, you will earn great income. Note that in an adsense ad unit, Google generally displays the highest paying advertisers. So in a block comprised of 4 ads generally, you can see only 3, 2 or 1 from time to time. This varies and is not static. Usually, the ad at the top pays higher.

Also you need to take into consideration the ad appearance because this can have a positive or negative effect on your click through rate of the ads. You can have an ad with border or a frameless one. You can have ads, background or links with specific colors, all these can be changed in your adsense settings on your web page. Usually an ad without border, blue links and which blends in your site content and background works pretty well. Ad formats like the leatherboard(728*90), the skycraper(160 * 600 or 120 * 600) or the square ones(336 * 280, 300 * 250 or 250 * 250) are most used.

Furthermore, adsense placement is crucial to your overall success. Ads above the fall generally viewable without scrolling down will get the most clicks and ads that are strategically integrated in your content will be more profitable. Ads at the bottom usually generate fewer clicks.

Google Adsense is a fantastic way to earn extra money and should be used by webmasters for an additional stream of revenue.

Q: I recently received an email that supposedly came from eBay that said someone had attempted to log into my eBay business account without authorization (whatever that means). The email instructed me to click a link to re-enter and confirm my account information to make sure that my account had not been hacked. Being naturally paranoid I contacted eBay directly and found that my account had not been hacked and that this email was actually from someone trying to steal my eBay account information. Is there nothing that can be done about this kind of thing?
— Wesley C.

A: The only thing you can do, Wesley, is be thankful that your paranoia kicked in because you were about to fall victim to just one of the latest attempts by thieves to steal your personal and credit card information.

As you discovered, the email you received was not from eBay, but from someone using a forged email address that gave the impression that the email was really from eBay. If you had clicked the link to “re-enter and confirm” your personal and credit card information, you would have been taken to a website that probably looked a lot like eBay, but was really a fake site created for the sole purpose of stealing your information. You would have been instructed to enter your eBay account information and other personal information, including your social security number, checking and savings account information, driver’s license number, and credit card number. In the end you would have supplied the thieves with everything they need to steal your identity.

The eBay scam is just the latest in a long line of sophisticated attempts to steal personal information through online means. Customers of PayPal, Amazon, Dell Computer, eTrade, Bank One, and many other online merchants have been the target of such scams in recent years.

The shear number of eBay customers is the main reason that eBay has become the most popular target of scam artists trying to steal personal information from individuals and businesses alike.

As we talked about way back in 2003, thanks to the Internet, stealing someone’s identity has never been easier. At any given moment, there are thousands of Internet thieves using all manner of high tech wizardry in an attempt to steal personal and business information from unsuspecting souls, and many times they can gain access to this information simply by asking the person to provide it through fraudulent means, like a fake email.

While most people are familiar with identity theft, most business men and women never think about it happening to them, at least on a professional level. Consider this: if a criminal can learn your business checking account number or the number of your company credit card, they can steal far more from your business than if they had simply knocked down the door and carted off your desk.

Here are a few ways to protect you from business and personal identity theft.
