How to Earn Money from Home - Without Getting Scammed

By Monell Honor

Avoiding the problems of the regular commute, working from home is becoming increasingly popular. This does not mean there is a relaxing period ahead when it's a little bit of work and a lot of play because then you will not earn enough.

Try and understand that this job does not have the same feeling of safety that an office job might provide. You can make it a success and be totally independent only if you slog and are disciplined.

Most of us are hoping to find a way to make quick easy money, and those who look at ways to earn it working from home are often initially drawn to these kinds of 'get rich quick' offers. Yes, there may just be some that work but not as much as the promises that they make.

Paid surveys and data entry usually fall into this category; both types of offers can be found that pay out, but they rarely pay as much as is claimed. One imagines doing a few surveys in the morning, then a leisurely lunch may be, then doing a few more surveys and ending up with several hundred dollars for the day; this is ridiculous.

All of these different types of activities are basically not sustainable for anyone that is seeking out a way to earn some extra money from working at home regularly. While not all jobs in this field are fakes, there are some that are some that are so it just means that you need to consider them before making a decision.

Writing some articles for others is a very easy way that you can earn money even though you are going to have to possess some reasonable writing skills. However, in the beginning you will usually find that you are writing for people who are selling your efforts on as their own. Even if you work hard, you rarely earn more than for 500 words so try not to expect too much at the beginning.

The best thing would be to write for oneself and selling them as PLR or public label rights articles; this can be lucrative over time. The trick is to write say ten articles or so and then sell them at a reduced price but to not one but many people. If you price it at for a batch of 10 then you can easily make 100's of dollars by selling it to 30 people, this way you are making per article batch rather than per article.

To be able to earn good money, while working out of the home, it has to be steady and regular and one has to work at it. It probably won't be easy at first, but after you have ironed out all the kinks and streamlined the process, you shouldn't have too much trouble. Then you might put together your own team of writers and get work done from them - this is the way to go to start making more money.
