Make Money Online at Home

For those looking to make extra money online, especially a passive income, I thought I would pass along a great opportunity. This could be one of the ideas to make money that will work for you.

Amy Bass is the creator of the Niche Blogger program, which teaches you how to make money blogging. She has opened up a scholarship program for those with a financial need. If you get awarded a scholarship, you get a 3-month membership to her program.

To qualify, you must be a parent with a desire to stay at home with your children, you must have financial need, and you must be willing to work hard. If you meet the criteria and want to learn about niche blogging, I would encourage you to apply for the scholarship.

I just started with Niche Blogger, and it looks interesting so far. I will be updating with my thoughts on the program once I get further into the program. From the looks of it, though, there are many people who make extra money online using her program.

If you apply for the scholarship, I wish you the best!

If you’re looking for ideas to make money at home, I recently came across a company you may be interested in. Leapforce is a google vendor that hires people to do search engine quality rating. I have not personally worked for this company, but I am on forums where people share job ideas, and so far the response seems positive.

My basic understanding is that you would rate different urls in order to provide quality control for google’s search engine. I also hear that they pay around $13 per hour, which isn’t bad for this type of work. You can read their company requirements or see their available jobs for more information.

If you have worked for Leapforce or have further information, do let me know. It looks like a legitimate way to make extra money online, and could be a significant money earner for those who need it. Please research thoroughly before working with this company, because as I said, I don’t work for them myself and can’t vouch for them. I have read of other people vouching for them, however, which is why I’m passing the info on to you.

As a work at home mom, I know that it can be difficult to find legitimate, real ideas for making money online. As I find online job opportunities, I’ll pass them along to you. If you apply to Leapforce, leave me a comment and let me know what your experience is. Good luck!

I think it’s time to talk about my ultimate goal with making money online. I want to make a decent income; one that would supplement the full-time income my husband will have, but also one that could get us through if he lost his job. However, there’s a catch to that: I don’t want to spend my time working.

How do I make money online if I’m not actually working? Simple. I plan to get most of my income from setting up a passive income stream – also known as residual income. I call it my passive income empire, and I am working hard now at it so that I don’t have to work later.

What is passive income? Basically, it’s money that comes in on a regular basis that you don’t have to put in a bunch of work for. One example is a rental property. You rent your apartment out to somebody, and they pay rent month after month, with very little effort on your part. Awesome!

I plan to do that, only online. How am I accomplishing that? Right now, my main plan is to create niche sites, otherwise known as niche blogging, which I learned how to do through Keyword Academy. Hands down they are the most awesome internet marketing tool I have ever found. I have learned more there than anywhere else. You can even check out their services for  for just $1. I tried it in October and I’m hooked! I’ll update on my progress periodically.

For a while I was writing for eHow (Not linking to them because I don’t recommend them anymore, but you can google). Basically, you write articles there, and they earn adsense money. eHow gives you part of the revenue the article earns, so each month I get a small check for them, even though the last article I wrote for them was almost a year ago. I’ve heard bad things about them lately, though, so I haven’t written there in a while.

I’m also currently writing for Suite101, which is decent so far. I’m learning the ropes there, though, so my earnings are lower than I’d like them to be. I’m also considering writing hubpages. I’ve heard good things about them, but I haven’t given it a try. Infobarrel is another one that may have potential. I’m going to give them a shot one of these days. And as always, I’ll let you know what I find out there.

In my sidebar I’ve got my first target income goal and my monthly progress. I know it doesn’t look like much, but I expect my earnings to start climbing as the months go on. Come back often to check out the stats!
