The Extra Income Guide Blog

Welcome back!

Many of you probably have seen the many sites promising free TV’s, free camera’s, free iPhones, etc if you sign up. Well I was just emailed a report on how to make money online by signing up for all of these freebie sites then selling that stuff on ebay. Well I decieded to go to a few of these websites to see what all was needed to complete this free offer. On one of these sites I needed to complete a total of 6 different offers to recieve my free 42″ LCD TV.

Well I wanted to calculate how much I would have to spend on these “offers” that had to be completed to recieve my 47″ TV so that I could resell it and make money online. Well first things first, I priced out the television and if I was to go to the store down the block, it would cost only $897. Same exact television, brand, model, etc.

Alright so as long as it costs me less than say $600 dollars to get the television, I was golden. I could resell the telvision for profit and make money online. Well the first two offers that I needed to complete would run me $19.95 a month and to be eligible I would have to keep the service for six months. So on the “Bronze Level” I have already spent, $39.98 x 6 = $239.88. WOW. Onto the “Silver” offers. The two I picked out was going to cost me $99.99 to purchase and $14.95 a month for a minimum of 12 months. Alright so now my total is $14.95 x 12 = $179.40 + 99.99 +239.88 = $519.27. WOW almost there. In the terms and services it also says that I would have to wait 12 months to recieve my television. Anyways on I went to the “Gold” offers. The first off I looked at was $59.99 for six months. That alone totals $359.94. Well didn’t even bother looking at the next offer for now it is easy, and cost effective to actually go down to the store and purchase myself a new television. Yes I would have some subscriptions that may or may not be helpful, but yet to me the time to do all this is not worth the hassle.

Anyways that is my two cents on this boring, lazy, sunday.

Good day everyone.  I wanted to share with everyone my top three ways of making money online.  These are the top three money earners for me and you may be surprised by what they are.  Now just up front, I don’t earn thousands of dollars a month online, yet.  I don’t earn tens of thousands either, yet.  Well to let you know the truth I earn around $1500-$2000 net income per month.  Not too shabby for an extra income to help supplement my traditional 9-5 workday income.  I would enjoy using these three techniques to earn  a very good living and I am trying.  I will continue to let you know my income for the month of July, next month so that you can see where I am at in my journey towards not having to work that 9-5 regular job. 

1. eBay - This is the number one income earner for me right now.  As stated earlier I go garage selling to purchase new items to sell on eBay.  I make approx.  $1000 a month just from eBay.  I am trying to wien myself off of selling on eBay and so far I continue to sell less and less and my other sources of income continue to rise.  Now coming into the summer eBay sales should go down which will help me personally stop selling stuff on eBay so I can concetrate solely on making money online.  I would love to be like a lot of bloggers out there making tens of thousands online by just blogging.  I hope to get there and I want everyone who stops and reads this blog to be in that party that gets there. 
2. Affiliate Marketing - My number two spot goes to affiliate marketing.  To make money online you have to understand how to use and earn off of affiliate marketing.  Whether you are publishing the ads or actually the advertiser that created the product, there is money to be made with affiliate marketing.  I am not a guru, I am not even an advanced user of affiliate marketing.  I feel I am a little above a noob, but still below intermediate level.  I personally chat with some guru’s almost everyday to continue on learning for that is what I feel it takes to make money online.  Learn all you can to make as much as you can.  I will be sharing all of my tips that I have learned from my guru friends on how to make money online.  There are only two networks I work with for the payout the most and the also have the best support for noobs.  Check out the post on the PepperJamNetwork.com.  Here are my two affiliate networks.  Please feel free to check them out: 

                   a.  PepperJamNetwork.com - A very new and fresh affiliate network that will pay you                                                                        $10 right off the bat for signing up.  Have started earning                                                                        well from the group.  I really like their support and the                                                                       offers.

                   b.  MarketLeverage.com - A great affiliate network.  I say this is one more for the                                                                         intermediate affiliate marketers, at least that is what my                                                                    friends say.  I am still earning a decent amount from these                                                                    guys.

    3.   The third area that I make money online is from selling ads.  Now on this page I have sold only a few ads, but as many successful bloggers will tell you, you need more than one blog. With more than one blog, comes a lot of ad space that adds up.  I personally have five different niche blogs that make most of the ad income, compared to the income from ads on this blog. 

Those are the top three ways I personally make an extra income online.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask them and I will answer as best I can.  I will also soon be online to chat with so that I can try to help everyone make money online.

Everyone I have ever talked with online or offline has talked about all the sites that claim to make millions overnight and while you sleep. I myself have personally bought into many of these, especially sold by people on eBay. I looked into a few of them and a lot of them, that weren’t dedicated products, or products sales, repeated each other. They all said the same things and to go about it the same way, and the one thing that I personally disliked is the way they stated that you had to sign up for certain services or you would never make any money online. Granted some of these services you needed to get the products that they sold to make extra income, but yet in one ebook it said if I didn’t sign up for a specific web host I would never make any money online, or if I didn’t hire a specific designer I wouldn’t make money online. Well I will tell you that I didn’t follow those directions to a T, cause I already had certain things and found out that the ebook was just worth a little more than the waste of time it was to read it.
I will say alot of well known online entrepreneurs have written excellent ebooks that I have purchased and read, yet almost 90% of the time if it enticed me with quick riches it normally was a waste of time and money reading and purchasing.
A great quote, “a fool and his money are soon to part”
This was the quote I always felt when I got, I like to say suckered, into buying a so called rich quick scheme. I learned the hard way that earning money online is still like working a regular job, work. Yes you can earn money while you are sleeping, yet it still takes work to continue that site, project, affiliate, AdSense, etc site going. With this in the next coming weeks I will be sharing my reviews and links to the products that I actually purchased that worked for me and help me bring in the extra income every month.

Today, I felt I was gonna talk about all the free money that is on the net today.  Free money can be seen as the Get Paid To sites, or Paid to Click sites.  These sites pay you for your time, although not much, and also to do offers.  Granted you have to think to yourself, if these sites can afford to pay me x amount of money to do a certain offer, how much are they making. 

Another big thing that you have to take into consideration is which sites are scams and which sites are legit.  There are many different ways to find out, one is by trying, and they other way is by reading blogs by professional PTCers.  Thes include the blogs  www.ptcking.com and also www.mrgpt.com.   These two blogs give some tutorials and help into deciding which PTC or GPT sites that one should invest his/her time in doing.  I prefer the new Blog www.PTCKing.com, but that is only because  it seems to not be too corrupt by monetization yet.  I do have to say though that MrGPT has been around awhile and very useful in his wisdom and knowledge.

So for free money on the net look to PTC and GPT sites, which have been giving away money to people for a while.

Thanks Again
