Work at home tip: Multiple Income Streams


Want to know the real secret to working at home? It’s not having a work at home, salaried position – those are VERY hard to find. It’s not a massive client – also hard to find at first.

It’s making a little money here and a little money there. In the business community, this is referred to as multiple income streams. The idea is to diversify – make money from several or lots of different places. One of the best ways to diversify is to work through multiple companies. That’s why you should be making money through surveys, online writing, and advertising on your own blog.

The Survey Gig

I am a big advocate of surveys and so are big businesses. Wouldn’t you rather pay a few thousand dollars to focus groups or survey takers and save yourself millions of dollars in a bad business move?

That’s why you can get paid to take surveys. Companies want your take and you can make good money by reviewing their products and giving them feedback. Check out these three top rated survey companies:
#1. MakeMoneyTakingSurveys.org
#2. SurveyScout.com
#3. ExpressPaidSurveys.com
#4. HonestPaySurveys.com
#5. Paid-Surveys-At-Home.com

Online Writing

You can also make good money by writing for blogs, website content owners, and even ebook authors. These opportunities are the real bread and butter, but the jobs are often sporadic. That’s why you need surveys and advertising income. Check these top writing websites/resources out:
#1. Jim Kimmons Ebook – the best place to start
#2. SEO Book – awesome learning system to help you get jobs
#3. EasyWritingBiz.com – good leads and information
#4. HomeJobGroup.com – nice folks with good opportunities
#5. DemandStudios.com – Tough to get in, but worth the effort

Ad Revenues from your own blog

Of course, before you can make money on ads, you need a website. I know from experience that this freaks a LOT of people out, but there is a simple solution: WordPress. It’s super-simple software to help you publish a blog of your own. When you’re comfortable with using it, upgrade for around $15/month to have your own website and tools for building ad revenue.

Once you are ready to start pushing ads, start here:
#1. Chitka – awesome, easy to use ads
#2 Google Adsense – make money when people click on Google ads

Notice that Google isn’t my top choice. They’re the biggest, but that doesn’t mean they’re ALWAYS the best. Check out Chitka first.

Final thoughts…

It takes a little bit of everything to make it work. I recommend jumping in to each of these areas, at least a little at a time. Find what you enjoy, but most of the fun is that you get to do something different everyday. The better you get, the faster you can work, and the more your hourly income will sky rocket!

Let’s face it. If you want to prove to people you can write, you need your own blog anyway.

    @Sue:
    Thanks for reading! I’d love to hear your experiences if decide to work with one of the above groups. In most cases I have personal contacts and like to provide them feedback/a kick in the pants if they’re not taking care of folks. So far, everyone – even Google – has been very responsive.

    @Vinod
    The good news is that you do not need a credit card to make money, but it would be helpful so you can purchase quality training/information. Paypal.com will allow you to add your bank account in India and then you can make purchases through your Paypal account. If you need help setting that up, just let me know. I’ll be glad to help.
