Work At Home As An “Ad Typist”…Oh Really?

So what is this so called "ad typing" nonsense? Well sit back, relax and get extremely comfortable and I’ll tell you all about it. It holds a special place in my heart since that’s my only work at home career. So you know it must be good.

Millions of people are searching Google and other search engines for answers to their problems. And then there are tens of thousands of companies that have solutions to many of these problems via their websites, product or services. These companies recruit people like you and I to help them find folks that yearn for a solution so they can provide it. The company you’re affiliated with gives you free tools such as the ads to type and a website to send people. They maintain and create the website so you can focus on typing ads.
(They don’t charge you money for any of this or to work with them! Yeah!)

As an "ad typist",  your duty is just to connect people who are searching for specific products, services and information with the websites that offer them solutions who you’re affiliated with. You achieve this by typing free ads, articles, emails, message board posting etc. When people search the internet they’ll eventually find one of these ads, articles, message board posting, etc. Depending on your affiliation with the company you’re working with, they pay you for the following:

1. Having some one visit their site. (Pay Per Click)
2. Having someone fill out a form on their site. (Pay Per Lead)
3. Having someone buy a product or service. (Pay Per Sale)

The companies you work with will be able to track your work because of the special free website they provide you which is unique to you. This is the website that you’ll include in the ads you type. 

Hey, I Think I Can Do That!

I’m pretty sure you can! Well my friends,  this "ad typist" opportunity is actually referred to as affiliate marketing or internet marketing. (Yeah that was sneaky of me but bear with me a second.) Affiliate marketing is called affiliate marketing because you’re affiliated with a company that pays you as described above. It’s also known as internet marketing because your work is all internet based.

If you want to see how easy this is, watch the following video where I walk you through it in less than 10 minutes.


A Work At Home Career That is Actually Available? You don’t say?

Nearly every website you visit has an affiliate program. So there are literally thousands if not more available work at home career opportunities as an affiliate/internet marketer than any typical work at home job. You could visit any site right now and email them to ask if they have an affiliate program. And I guarantee that 99.9% will say yes! Isn’t that a change?

Instead of spending hours applying to jobs that most will not get, you can literally sign up to be an affiliate of your favorite website or any website for that matter within a few minutes and start working within a few hours if not days. Sorry for the initial trickery. But most of you would have assumed that you couldn’t do affiliate/internet marketing just like many of you thought you couldn’t make money with surveys, get paid offers, etc. 

 

Isn’t this like those annoying MLMs or Home Business Schemes?

Nope it’s not! Too often job seekers are associating this work at home career with health related MLMs or home based business opportunities where you’re selling over priced health products to your family and friends to make money and asking them to do the same.

That’s not what affiliate/internet marketing is about. Whereas with MLMs you’re pretty much trying to force people to buy what they don’t need or want, affiliate marketing is just the opposite. Millions of people search the internet looking for answers to their problems every day. They’re looking for information, products or services to resolve their issue. Think about how many times you’ve searched Google looking for an answer or product. That’s probably how you found this site and that wasn’t by accident. Well imagine the millions of people that are searching for solutions, product or websites every day! Imagine if you could make money helping just a fraction of those people! Keep in mind that all your simple task as an affiliate/internet marketer is just to connect them with the companies that resolve their problems by typing free ads, articles, message board posts, emails, etc.

The Perfect Customer Service Home Based Opportunity

For me when you consider this, affiliate/internet marketing is more like customer service. Because you’re providing people solutions they’ve asked for. It’s like selling ice cold water to someone who lives in the Sahara desert where it’s 100 degrees in the shade. There is no selling involved in a situation like that! Someone that lives in a desert doesn’t need you to convince them to buy ice cold water. They’re ready to buy because they have a problem that you’re fixing!

Whereas in most home business opportunities where you’re selling health products, how many people do you know are willing to spend $20 on some magical "safe" cleaning product when they can go to their local supermarket and get it for $1.99. So when you consider this, then affiliate marketing isn’t really sales in the traditional sense because you don’t need to sell people on solutions they want and are actively search for.

The problem with most home based businesses or MLMs is that they want you to be a pushy car sales man. Their philosophy is if someone is looking for a mini van then sell them a Range Rover and convince them that buying a mini van is unhealthy and a Range Rover is better for your family even though it will cost you $50,000 more. Then get your family and friends to go and sell other people Range Rovers even if they can’t afford it or need it.  I know that’s a drastic example but that’s how so many of these home business and MLMs work.

 
Eddy, I Just Want A Job.
 
Whether you know it or not you’ve been brainwashed into believing that’s what you want. "What you talking about Willis?" I’m not brain washed. I want a job because I want one BUDDY!" Oh really? Consider this. Since elementary school we’ve all been groomed to work for someone else. You were told you need to get good grades and finish high school so that you can get a good job. You need to finish college so you can get a better paying job. Even our childhood games were tailored to a job mentality. Why is it we all played house and pretended to go to work for someone else but never pretended to be the boss? Because no one told us that we could be the boss. They said you were only good enough to work for others.
 
Well I’m here to tell you, you’ve been lied to. You are good enough & SMART enough to be the boss. Many of you have probably been in situations where you’re working for someone else and you think to yourself, "How did this person become a supervisor? I’m smarter than them, I work harder and get more done. But yet I’m working for them and they’re making WAY more money than me." Well you’re absolutely right, you are probably smarter than them. But because you’ve been brainwashed for years by your family, friends, school and society you decided that being an employee was the best route for you. Knowing all this, do you still think you’re only good enough for a job? Do you think that’s all your family deserves? 
 
 
But Eddy,  A Job is Easier …
 
Oh really? So you’re telling me having a boss that tells you much you’ll ever earn for the rest of your life is easier? Not being able to go on vacation with your family whenever you feel like it is easier? Working for a boss you’re smarter than is easier? Working with co-workers that gossip or get away with stuff you can’t is easier? Being scolded for taking sick days to care of your child is easier? Searching for work at home jobs that aren’t readily available is easier?  Commuting in traffic or crowded trains where people are rude and obnoxious is easier? Kissing your idiot’s boss’s butt to get a .25 cent per hour "raise" is easier? Being rejected or fired from a work at home job because your baby may cry while your on a call is easier? Being rejected from work at home jobs because you don’t have your own telephone line is easier? Not being able to get a work at home job because you live outside the U.S. is easier?
 
If that’s your idea of being easier then "Golly Gee Whiz", affiliate/internet marketing is going to be a walk in the park. Because guess what? You’re not going to have to deal with any of these situations. But the fact that you have done so for all these years has already proven you’re strong enough be your own boss. Honestly when you think about all these situation that you have endured, how hard could a little ole’ work at home career as an affiliate/internet marketer be? I’ll promise you this, it won’t be any harder than what you’ve already been dealing with!
 

I Don’t Know Eddy, I Still Don’t Think This is Something I Can Do…

 
Why do you think you can’t do this? Were you born knowing how to do your current job? I would guess, probably not! Chances are someone sat you down and taught you how to do your current or past jobs. They told you the right way to do your job and the wrong way to do your job. And if you were lucky, someone even showed you how to do your job faster and better. But even with that there may have been some times where you thought to yourself, I’m never going to get this. But yet you were determined to keep at it because you had bills to pay or kids to feed.
 
Well guess what? Affiliate/internet marketing is no different. There are other internet marketers such as Kyle, Carson and the other members of Wealthy Affiliate who can teach you how to get started. They will literally hold your hand through the process just like with the jobs you’ve had in the past. There are also going to give you the tools and material you need to be successful.  
 
I remember there was a job I took with a huge company. I thought to myself this is going to be great. This company seems to have their stuff together. Then on my first day I was sat at my desk and just told to get started. I was thinking to myself, I’ve been lied too. No one sat with me and told me what I should do first. There wasn’t even a manual on how to do my job and use the tools that were part of my job description. I pretty much had to learn my job on my own. My co-workers provided limited assistance but it wasn’t a lot. Needless to say it probably took me close to a year or more to really understand how to do my job effectively. 
 
In hindsight I know this affected raises and promotions I could have received if someone had held my hand. Even with my work at home career as an internet/affiliate marketer. I went through the same thing. I had no one to lean on. By the time I found the guys at Wealthy Affiliate, I had went through a lot of mistakes and frustration.  But it gave me a better appreciation for their site and it’s why I recommend it so highly to new people that are afraid to get into affiliate/internet marketing.
 
But you know what? Seeing is believing. So I’ve decided to create a video so you can see what people are saying about their careers as affiliate/internet marketers.
 

 

Yeah, Yeah, But Work At Home Jobs Are Guaranteed Money!

"Excuse You?" Let’s be real with ourselves. If there are so many work at home jobs available out there, why aren’t we all working at home? Why would anyone ever want to commute? Why is everyone getting scammed? Why have you been searching for weeks, months or even years and not landed a single job? It’s real simple, they’re not easy to land therefore they’re not guaranteed money! Most of the time, you have to be as lucky as a little green leprechaun with a four leaf clover and rabbit’s foot  to land a precious work at home job. Or you have to chase after the ones that are actually available like Medical Transcription (Typing), Programming etc. But that involves training that can cost thousands of dollars and can take up to a year to complete. It’s well worth it in my opinion, but you may not have that type of cash or time. Then you have a career such as affiliate/ internet marketing where you literally have thousands of available openings. You can get started right away and training is easily attainable. Chances are you’ll be making money if a few weeks.  Seems to me the choice is clear. But I’m a little wacky like that.

.
OK, So How Do I Get Started?

Well just do what i did in the first video of this article. Start with the work at home companies that I’m assuming you’re working with based on my past recommendations such as fusion cash, mylot.com, mysurvey.com. etc. They all have referral/affiliate programs. Many of you are already making money with them so why not refer others that are looking for a legitimate way to make money. It shouldn’t be too hard to find these people since you visit work at home sites. Just refer to the first video on this page for ideas.

But again keep in mind you’re still not going to make hundreds of dollars per month just doing the above. To really expand your efforts you’ll want to work with more companies that go beyond just working at home. You’ll also want to have many more free techniques than the one I showed you and more importantly various type of affiliate income coming in. I may have started with the simple steps listed in that video. But I quickly expanded when I saw I was making some money doing it like that. I guess I needed proof that it worked. But then I thought to myself there must be a better way to reach more people so I can make more money and that’s where the training that Wealthy Affiliate provides, comes into play.

Need Someone To Hold Your Hand?

I would love to personally help each one of you with this career. But honestly I’m already spread thin between helping you good folks here on my blog, raising my new baby girl and just working as an affiliate myself. But don’t cry, dry your eye. You can still learn everything I know about affiliate/internet marketing from the Wealth Affiliate guys (Kyle & Carson). If personalized one one one help is what you need then Kyle and Carson are the guys for you. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve harassed them with my annoying questions and they’re always willing to help me out.  (They don’t actually find my questions annoying. But I would.) And when I feel bad for harassing them I just ask other wealthy affiliate members on their forum and folks are always willing to help. I know for many of you this is important. If you think you get a lot of support from me here on this blog. Then you’re going to think I’ve been very lazy when you join the Wealthy Affiliate forum.

Wealthy Affiliate is perfect for beginners.

 - If you need someone to hold your hand with this career then join Wealthy Affiliate.

- If you need to be able to email someone with questions regarding being an affiliate then join Wealthy Affiliate.

- If you want to finally make larger amounts of money and aren’t really interested in paid surveys, get paid offers, reading email then join Wealthy Affiliate.

- If you’re looking to eventually quit your job and fully support your family then Join Wealthy Affiliate.

- If you’ve spent months searching for a job and haven’t made a dime doing so or landing one, then join Wealthy Affiliate!

Now with that said, please note that Wealthy Affiliate is not free to join. it’s about $1 day ($39.99 per month & can be easily canceled at any time). Kyle and Carson have put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears into their site. There is so much easy to follow information on the site that took them months if not years to compile. You also have to keep in mind all the ongoing time they spend helping would be affiliates get started by individually answering their emails and questions. Not to mention they have a very active member forum where other members are helping each other with advice, tips, etc. This isn’t like some cheesy typing, data entry or rebate processing ebook or system where you pay $47 and they say here go read this ebook, Make money but don’t expect that you can actually email me for help or with your questions.

If that’s what you want, then by all means go and invest in that. But Wealthy Affiliate is about personalized one on one help, tools and easy to follow steps to help you start making money at home in weeks. As a matter of fact, I might as well just show you. Please watch the video below:

Wealthy Affiliate Tour 

 

Any of you that have been a long time subscriber know that I don’t often recommend spending money on anything. I think I can count on my hand how many paid type of things I’ve personally referred to people. So when you consider that, you know I must think it’s a good investment.

Personally I think spending about $1 per day is worth discovering how to finally work at home and support my family. But that may be too steep for some of you. If so, just focus on the other opportunities I have introduced you to. Then save that money and then invest it in Wealthy Affiliate. I feel confident that in a few weeks you’ll double, triple whatever money you’ve invested in Wealthy Affiliate.

Doesn’t Affiliate/Internet Marketing Require Lots of Money?

No, not to become an affiliate! You can literally go now and sign up to be an affiliate with any company. They don’t charge you because it only makes sense to have a teams of affiliates out there referring people back to their sites, products or services. They make more money because of affiliates so you’ll never be charged to work with them or for the free tools they provide you such as website. But in terms of training you could learn trial by fire like I did. Or you can pay as little as about $1 per day to speed up the process and Get Training From Wealthy Affiliate which will help you make even more money as an affiliate for various companies. One of the things I loved about Wealthy Affiliate is they provide you with various FREE ways to expand your affiliate income. So even if you don’t have a lot of money they have you covered.

"You So Crazy Eddie!"

When I was growing up in the 80’s, there was this electronic sales man named "Crazy Eddie" that was always on TV. I always felt kind of special because he had my name. In any event his whole gimmick was that he must be insane for the prices of his products. Well many people think I’m pretty crazy when I tell them I left a job earning $90,000 to work at home as an affiliate/internet marketer. I totally understand their reaction. After all, who in their right mind would leave a sure thing like that? But then it dawns on them. Wait a minute, "how much money is Eddy really making to be able to afford to leave that type of guaranteed salary behind and still be able to support his whole family?" Things that make you go Hmmmmm?  Would he really risk putting his family out on the streets especially when he has a new born if affiliate marketing wasn’t a successful work at home career? Ok, you let that marinate in your mind for a minute… I’ll wait.

The answer is hell nah! Of course I wouldn’t.  I was able to leave the rat race because working as an affiliate/internet marketer had surpassed my job income. Now I don’t say all this to brag. If it sounds like that, than I apologize. I just want you to really understand how a work at home career as an affiliate/internet marketer has impacted my life. 

To bring it home, please consider my humble background. I was raised by two Haitian immigrants that barely spoke the English language. (Pops still has a heavy accent that makes it hard to understand him sometimes but gotta love him! LOL)  I was a young black man growing up in the inner city of The Bronx where I had friends hanging out on corners drinking and smoking & just getting into things that my immigrant parents pretty much stopped me from enjoying.. I mean enduring. I went to college but to my mom’s dismay never officially finished. And finally I spent a good portion of my working life as low skilled data entry clerk for a hospital that my whole family worked at (Good job mentality). Sound familiar to some of you? And yet despite those humble origins, I was able to eventually break free and  earn thousands of dollars per month as an affiliate/internet marketer working for no one else but myself.

So my question to you is, why can’t you? What makes me more special than you? Absolutely nothing. The only difference I see with myself and a lot of people I talk to is that I was just willing to walk the path less traveled and invest in myself by Joining A Company Like Wealthy Affiliate.

If a door was closed to me. I looked for another way in. If someone told me I couldn’t do something, then I would have to do it just to shut them up. (My wife can attest to this! lol) But more importantly I had to believe in myself when no one else did. As much as I love my family and friends they were some of the people that motivated me to prove them wrong. God bless them all. Like many of us they were brainwashed into believing that a job was my only option. So that’s what they would drill in my head and beat down on my dreams of working at home for myself. I remember this one moment in particular where this manager I really admired had heard about my little side career as an affiliate marketer. He asked how much time I spent on it. I said as much as possible when I’m not working here. And he said I should calculate the hours I spend on my side career to see if it’s worth it because I could probably spend that energy there at work and make more. I knew his heart was in the right place because he did help my career. However his statement was like being "pimp slapped" because all I could think was, I’m going to prove you so wrong. 

Well thank goodness for the Lord’s little seed in me that wouldn’t allow my dream of working for myself die. Everyone’s negativity about my career as an affiliate/internet marketer was like tons of fertilizer to my dreams and just motivated me to do well. And fortunately it all worked out. I really do love my "haters" because without them none of this would be possible and I wouldn’t be here today helping good people like you work at home.

For some of you that are brave enough to embark on a career as an affiliate marketer, you’re going to have a lot of naysayers. And that’s fine but just make sure you take their negative energy and use it as fuel to succeed. Don’t get angry with these folks. They have your best interest at heart. But when you do succeed because you will,  be sure to bring them up with you, like I’m trying to do here in this article. Everyone can live their dreams if they’re willing to believe that they’re more than employees and invest in themselves.

So there you have it. That’s my story and my work at home career. It’s the only one I need now and I’ve finally revealed it to you in a long excruciating  article. Thanks for bearing with me this long if you’re still reading.

"I’m Living in Never Never Land"

And no I don’t mean with WACO Jackson. Living in Never Never Land to me means:

  • I will never have to chase after a work at home job again.
  • I will never have to feel that frustration of not hearing back from an employer.
  • I will never have to spend hours on job sites or forums searching for a job lead like a needle in haystack. 
  • I will never have to worry about getting scammed by some ebook,  get rich scheme, home business opportunity, or check cashing scam.
  • I will never have an boss tell me what my hours are.
  • I will never have a boss tell me when I can take a vacation.
  • I will never have an boss make me feel guilty if I couldn’t work because of a family emergency.
  • I will never have to beg or convince an incompetent boss that I need a raise because I was worth more.
  • I will never miss the moment that my little girl Brianna walks or talk.
  • I will never have my child raised by a babysitter.
  • I will never have to worry that companies are laying off people.
  • I will never have to worry about being fired.
  • I will never have to commute in a crowded stinky NYC train at 8am with people that should have taken a shower but for some reason smell like "oh my damn!" early in the morning.

So that’s my life in "Never Never Land" now and I’m loving every minute of it. A work at home career as an affiliate/internet marketer has been so good to me that this year my and wife and I have decided that she’ll take a year off work to stay at home. This way we can both raise our daughter Brianna together. I guess I would have "never" been able to do that with a work at home job either.

What do you guys think? Is this the type of life you want to lead? Well if it is, take action and Join Wealthy Affiliate. Isn’t  $1 dollar per day ($39.99 per month) worth being at home with your family? Honestly ask yourself, has what you’ve been doing the last several months or years brought you any closer to your dream of working at home? Or have you just become more frustrated, jaded, disenchanted and/or hopeless? Judging by many of the comments and emails I have read from many of you, I think you guys are ready to make a change. You just need to take a chance on yourself.

In any event, I’ve babbled enough. Sorry that this article was so long. But this is something I’m very passionate about because it was the only work at home career that gave me the freedom I now enjoy. It’s one that I’ve actively taught my best friend, sister and even ex-coworkers. All of which are now making extra money at home. I wish i could personally mentor all of you like I do them. But I just don’t have the time or resources, so the next best thing is Kyle, Carson and all the members of Wealthy Affiliate. Hopefully I’ve demonstrated to you that a work at home career as an affiliate or internet marketer is something that anyone can do and more importantly is one that is actually available. Are you all going to make thousands of dollars per month like me? I would love it if you do. But even if you only made a few hundred dollars per month, wouldn’t it be worth it?

Look if any of you have any specific questions or apprehensions about joining Wealthy Affiliate or a work at home career as an affiliate/internet marketer, please post them below. I’ll be happy to answer them as best as I can. Like many of you i was very scared or even skeptical that I could make money.  So I’m always happy to share. Good Luck, either way! It would be nice if all of you decided to become an affiliate marketers but sadly many of you are going to totally ignore this article and do what you’ve been doing and getting more of what you’ve been getting.

There are going to be those of you who will continue to chase after jobs that don’t exist, buy ebooks promising you data entry, typing or rebate processing "jobs" or worst giving up all together.

And then there are going to be a few of you that decide to break the awful cycle and give affiliate/internet marketing a chance.

I wonder which person you’ll be?

Don’t I owe you money?

Posted by eddysalomon in Career Advice and Tips, Contest     
Tags: ,

Sorry for the delay but I was still recovering from our BBQ this past Memorial day weekend and just enjoying some quality time with my family. But that’s no excuse for not paying you your money!  About 2 weeks ago, I asked you, my loyal subscribers to tell me what’s really ticking you off about trying to find work at home jobs and the response was overwhelming to say the least. Reading what you had to say just reinforced why we work so hard to provide you with various opportunities to make money at home now rather than waiting on a work at home job. What I’ve gathered from your responses is that the search process seems to be a losing battle financially and emotionally.

So with that said, let’s cheer some of you folks up by giving you free money for all that crap you’ve been going through. Lord knows you guys deserve it.  Our 3 winners who will receive $50 each are as follows: Tiffany, Denise and Regine. We’ve gone ahead and emailed you guys so that we can send you your money!

Congratulations to these loyal subscribers. For everyone else, don’t worry if you didn’t win this time around. We have many more contests coming up that will be available to loyal subscribers only. So as long as you stay on this list, you’ll have many more opportunities to actually make money at home with our site. Sadly I had picked a few winners before the ones listed above but because I couldn’t verify that they were subscribers they missed out on $50. Don’t let that happen to you. As many of you know, it’s rare when you have someone that is actually willing to pay you money at home instead of asking for it. So it’s in your best interest to take advantage of it.

How To Stop The Bleeding…

So let’s talk about your frustration and see if we can help alleviate it. Most of you expressed that you hated the fact that money was often requested by various companies to work at home. I hear ya on that one! It was one of the most frustrating things for me as well. Like many of you I just started assuming the whole work at home industry was a scam or fantasy. But with some experience and knowledge, I learned how to avoid the money trap. I recently wrote an article about some common money traps that many of you have probably explored or even invested in.  Either way  you should go read the article right now. I guarantee it will alleviate the whole "Gimme money to work at home" nonsense that you’ve been running into. Now with that said, I think I should cover the rare instances when spending money for work related situations is valid and legitimate. So next time if you run into anyone asking you for money and it doesn’t fit into one of the situations listed below, save yourself the frustration and headaches and just walk away.

Don’t Give Up Your Money Unless…

1. It’s A Legit Home Based Business:

There is this common misconception that anytime a company asks for money it’s a scam. My question to you is, Can you start a McDonald’s without money? The answer is obviously No! Otherwise wouldn’t we all own a McDonald’s and be rich?  Well like any regular business, 99.9% of home based business you would join need money to get you started. Why? The same reasons it would take to start a McDonald’s. You need supplies, advertising, etc.

So paying for a home based business is fine when you do your research. Many times you are running into home based businesses opportunities and not actual jobs. They are easy to confuse especially when people recruiting you aren’t being honest about this. So just keep that in mind when applying to "jobs" that are a bit ambiguous or don’t discuss a set salary. Usually it’s a home based business and the recruiters are afraid to tell you this because chances are you wouldn’t give it a shot.

2. It’s for Career Training:

Why do you think most people go to college or get any form of higher education? I’ll tell you why, it’s because we all knew that it would open up doors (for the most part) that were closed to people without this level of education. No one is their right mind is going to spend $15,000-$100,000 per year for the fun of learning. You invest in yourself because you’re betting on the fact that you’ll come out with a career that is going to cover the cost of your education and help you lead a comfy lifestyle. So paying for training is fine. I’ve paid for college and it definitely opened doors for me. But honestly the best education I ever received was about learning affiliate marketing. It was something that I was able to use right away and make significantly more money with than any job I’ve ever had. So if I would do it all over again, I would invest in affiliate marketing training sooner rather than my college education. I probably would’ve been a millionaire by now and it wouldn’t have taken me so long to finally work at home full time. For those of you that are more concerned with getting a job like typing or data entry then investing in medical transcription training would be better than buying one of those misleading data entry or typing ads you see everywhere.

3. It’s for Career Tools:

I’m all for giving people every advantage especially when trying to find a work at home job. So one of the things I always preach to job seekers is to get their resumes professionally written. Then have your resume sent to all the major job sites so that employers can find you even when they aren’t posting jobs. It’s one of the most over looked steps job seekers can take to give them an edge over all the other job seekers that aren’t willing to do the same.  Another investment I think is worth it’s weight in gold is getting a membership with a legitimate work at home database  such as HomeJobStop.com. Membership job sites are great because most work at home seekers won’t pay to get in which means more job leads for you that aren’t readily available on the free work at home websites. In fact one of my loyal subscribers Colleen recently posted a comment where she confirmed this because she was able to secure a work at home job using HomeJobStop.com

So these are the only situations where I think it makes sense to spend money if you planned on doing so with some "so-called work at home job or system". Other than that, you never really need to. We provide you with a list of companies that hire work at home seekers here. We provide you a free job search database that is updated daily here. We also provided you with a list of the top free work at home websites which was listed here. Worried about getting scammed? You shouldn’t be because we’ve provided you with a resource here. And finally we’ve given you a ton of free work at home opportunities that can be stared right now such as: Message Board "Typist", Survey Taker , Focus Group Participants , At Home Product Testers

All of these free resources were designed to address many of the frustrations many of you have expressed. It’s just a matter of taking action on them. I’m confident if you do, you’ll be in a better place. You probably won’t lose anymore money and more importantly you may actually find a number of ways to start making money now. But you have to be willing to make a change and take action. You know how the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t force them to drink. How thirsty are you?

Happy Work At Home Typist

Any one that has read any of my articles long enough knows that I have a huge grudge against typing and data entry jobs and people that limit their unbelievable potential to them. I down play these jobs to you all the time because the fact of the matter is they don’t really exist in great numbers excluding Medical Transcription.

Monster Job…

Traditional typing and data entry are like the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot & The Chupacabra. There are a lot of people that are looking for them but ain’t nobody ever find them or can produce solid evidence that they exist. Honestly let’s dissect this unhealthy obsession with typing and data entry jobs that most work at home seekers have. Just ask yourself this question and be honest.

If there are so many traditional typing and data entry jobs available, "why aren’t you or any of your friends already working these jobs?" After all you have all the skills. You would think that with so many of these jobs available it would be easy to land them.

Wake up & Smell What The Eddy is Cooking…

Based on the fact that no one you know or I know has been able to land a typing job, then logic would dictate they just don’t exist in great numbers. Here’s the reality of the situation. My new baby girl will be able to type by the time she’s 7 or 8 (Earlier if I have my way. lol). She was practically born with a laptop in her hand. Everyone knows how to type so why would they really need to hire a general typist? The only exception to that is Medical Transcriptionist. But landing a generic typing job is like winning the lotto, a damn near impossibility.

Dag Eddy, Aren’t We Being A Negative Nancy?

Not neccessarily, I’m just giving you your full day’s supply of reality. This way you don’t go and waste money on data entry, typing or rebate processing products or spend your precious lifetime searching for them. But with that said, you know I’m solution oriented. So now that I got that rant out the way, let’s talk about how you can actually make money typing at home in a non traditional way.  Watch the following video and get your non-traditional typing at home opportunity on! Don’t worry it’s not going to cost you a penny!

 

Now that you’ve peeped the video you may feel one of two things.

1. Happy.

If you’re open minded and are someone that is willing to take action, you’re smiling right now & saying "Good looking out Ed!". You’re feeling positive, because I just provided you with just another source of income to add to your bag of ways of making money which could be surveys, focus groups, get paid offers, etc.

2. Annoyed.

"Dang It Eddy, I just want a traditional typing job and that opportunity you just babbled about ain’t going to cut it!"

Now let me address the number 2 folks. (No pun intended.) Read the start of this article again. I’ve already established your dreams of a traditional typing jobs are fantasies unless you’re willing to invest in yourself and do medical transcription. Other than that, you’re going to be wasting a lot of precious hours that could be spent making money other ways like our successful subscribers.

So at the end of the day, that’s the decision you have to make. You can ice skate up Mount Everest with a 100 pounds of cinder-blocks on your back by searching for traditional typing or data entry jobs. Or you can sit back at home collecting small checks from various non-traditional work at home opportunities that add up to big checks. No sweat off my back either way. Just giving you your options.

Hopefully most of you will find this helpful. I’ve been accused of being harsh sometimes. But it really just gets me super frustrated, when I hear from work at home seekers that are intelligent and have such great potential to make money but limit themselves to these fantasy typing and data entry jobs. It’s really sad to see these folks go through the pain and frustration that comes along with specifically searching for these jobs alone.

I just don’t want any of my loyal subscribers to be in that dark place, because then it really warps your whole perception about the industry and life. So when a good opportunity actually comes your way, you’re jaded or mentally defeated. So just keep that in mind. Is this where you are? Is this where you want to be? Is this what’s going to help you stay home with your kids?

Is that what’s really "hood" and hot on the streets? lol No but seriously, think about where you fit in the grand scheme of things.

In any event, if you liked what you saw in the video, visit Mylot.com & Sign Up Today. It’s free and obviously you can make money "typing" in a non traditional way. Good luck either way!
