Get Started For Free

Back on October 7, I posted that it would be rather difficult to find work from home that did not have any up-front cost. That is still true.

HOWEVER, there are people who make hundreds or even thousands of dollars every month by working ads into their blogs. If they are skillful enough, the advertisers will pay them for what they wrote. Some only pay $5. Some pay w-a-y more than that. Remember when your English teacher made you learn punctuation and grammar? Remember when you protested because you would "never use that stuff?" Use your blog to apologize to your teacher once you start cashing those checks!

It does not cost anything to start up a blog. Once your blog has been active (posted several times per week) for at least 90 days, you can apply to PayPerPost. It does not matter what you blog about- there are categories galore! Once you have enough accepted (paid) posts, you can add another blog. You can add them one at a time as long as you keep the quality up and the quantity of posts up.

Word to the wise from the voice of the observant: you will want to host your blog on your own host rather than blogspot.com or wordpress.com because the advertisers that pay serious money don't accept blogs hosted on free sites. For information on very inexpensive web hosting, click here. For information on getting paid to post to your blog, click here.

Another no-cost way to make money from home that is taking the internet by storm (as "they" say) is My Power Mall. My Power Mall is a 9-Tier Shopping Rebate System. People are invited to have their own FREE online Power Mall. All they do is shop and then invite others to have their own FREE Mall. As people shop for things they are going to buy anyway, everyone receives a % of the shopping rebates. Buy stuff you would buy anyway and get a percentage back - 9 tiers down. The way I figure it, if you were going to buy the stuff anyway, why not try it? Have people sign up under you and they do their internet shopping from their own malls, etc. By the time you get down a few tiers with people just doing normal shopping, you could rake in a few hundred bucks.

So there you have two ways you generate income from home on your computer with no initial out-of-pocket expense at all. With PayPerPost you will eventually need to get your own web hosting, but I pay $6.95 per month (billed monthly - I do not have to pay for a year in advance) with AllWebCo. With My Power Mall you (theoretically anyway) don't spend anymore than you are spending now - you just spend it differently.
