Bloggers Make Money With Amazon

I have known for a long time now that Amazon.com has an affiliate program that you can make money with. If you have a website or a blog you can post links to related products on Amazon and if someone makes a purchase through your link then you make some commission. But I did not know that you can actually have your own little Amazon store. For any of you fellow bloggers out there that read my blog this might be something some of you could be interested in for your site. Check out my fellow blogger Smart Mom's current post that explains it.
Just added... Smart Mom's Store!

Make Some Extra Money With Your Junk Mail on PeopleString



I am always reluctant to recommend anything like surveys or anything where they tell you that you can get people signed up underneath you and make money so I have been holding off telling everyone about People String until now. I signed up with them a few weeks ago because I heard that you can make money by receiving junk mail kind of like the Mail Decoy programs I had posted about before. There are other ways you can make money on there too but I can't say too many of them interested me but I went ahead and signed up anyways to see what it was all about. So the mail program they have sounds similar to the mail decoy programs like I said and once you sign up on their site you fill out a short profile survey and then they say that you will receive a postcard in the mail in a few weeks with an activation code. I just received mine a few days ago and wanted to wait until I at least knew that part was for real to tell anyone about it. Once you receive that then you go on the site and enter the activation code and supposedly the junk mail will start arriving soon. We'll see and I will update you for those interested. They claim you can make $20-$40 a month so here's hoping!
They have other ways to make money on there as well. You can receive email offers but only if you choose to. You can choose to complete offers from sponsors on their website to earn what they call "People Dollars" and you can earn shopping rebates but like I said I haven't tried any of this yet. It is free to sign up though and I have not received any junk e-mail from them like some other sites so I guess there is no down side to it so far. If anyone else has has any negative experiences with this company though please share them with me. I do not want to be supporting a company that is not legitimate. This company has not been around very long so sometimes it is hard to research a company that is newer.

Telemarketing Work From Home


These companies hire people to work from home as virtual call center agents just like the companies I had listed before in an older post. The difference is that these jobs are telemarketing rather than being more customer service oriented. Some of the companies pay the same as the call center companies and some pay on more of a commission based scale. I like to list these companies separately because some people are really not comfortable doing sales while others really excel at it. Some are more traditional telemarketing, others are business to business and some are lead generation.

Virtual Assistant Work From Home


Being a virtual assistant is kind of like being an administrative assistant but from home. This is usually more like a business rather than a job only because you have to promote yourself and register with different services in order to get enough work but if you have experience in this type of thing you probably won’t have any trouble keeping busy. There are a couple of virtual assistant companies that actually hire you but most others are more like a staffing agency and assign you to different projects. Many Virtual Assistants register with several companies and some even set up their own website to advertise their services. Here are a couple of companies that handle this type of thing. This is a work from home jobs that I am not as familiar with as some of the others so make sure you do your own research as well and read my post on work from home scams. I know the two that I hear of the most are the first two listed so I know they must be good companies to work with for VA's.

Make money reviewing websites on UserTesting.com

This is something I just tried for the first time but it looks interesting and easy to do. Depending on the demographics they are in need of would determine how often you get an assignment so I guess it could be a work at home job or it could be something to just make a little extra money. UserTesting.com is a service that website owners use to get feedback from users on their site. The website owners sign up with UserTesting.com and then "user testers" or normal people like us get paid to give feedback on the site. Once you sign up and fill out your profile they will have you do a practice review to see how much they can use you I guess. You can either dial in on your phone or use a microphone on your computer if you have one. They give you a code to punch in and then you hit record on a pop up screen. The website comes up that you are to evaluate along with a task you are to perform like locating something on the website. You are supposed to talk throughout the review as far as what catches your eye on the site, how you like the layout, etc. Basically you are supposed to say out loud what you are thinking while looking at the site. Then after you are done you stop the recording and fill out a very brief summary of your thoughts on the website. They pay $10 per review.
