			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and there’s more than one way to make money online. In fact, you have many options if your goal is to earn an income utilizing the Internet. I’ll list a few of these options here as well as the various ways these business models can be monetized.</p>
<p><strong>Information or &#8220;Content&#8221; Sites<br />
</strong><br />
Basically this is just what it sounds like…a website with lots of good information on a particular topic.</p>
<p>How do you make money?</p>
<p>There are several ways sites like this can make money. They can be monetized with Google AdSense ads. You can recommend affiliate products (basically selling other people’s stuff for a commission) on content sites. You can sell advertising on a busy site.</p>
<p><strong>Product Sales Sites<br />
</strong><br />
This is a site that sells products, whether physical or digital. Physical products would include things that need to be shipped like your lavender boo-boo salve that everyone raves about or your soy candles that don‘t pollute the air.</p>
<p>Digital products would be things like an ebook that shares all your home school or discipline tips or an audio or video that teaches someone how to do something faster, easier or better.</p>
<p>There are thousands of people online every day looking to buy cool stuff. Someone’s gotta sell it to them!</p>
<p>Even if you don’t make the product yourself, you can find companies that do drop shipping. For instance, World Wide Brands is a drop shipping company endorsed by eBay itself.</p>
<p><strong>Service Businesses</strong></p>
<p>A service site would market some valuable service that you provide. For instance, parenting coaching or marriage counseling. With this kind of business you’re trading your time for dollars, but you can also learn to earn more money passively by incorporating affiliate products into your business.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate Marketing</strong></p>
<p>Affiliate marketing is basically selling other people’s products or services for a commission. This kind of business has several advantages:</p>
<p>1) It’s inexpensive to start- affiliate programs are free to join.</p>
<p>2) There is no inventory to clutter up your home</p>
<p>3) You can start an affiliate site and earn passive income. Once it is set up and getting steady traffic, you can go into “maintenance mode” and only update it rarely, yet still receive regular income from it.</p>
<p><strong>Direct Sales<br />
</strong><br />
Direct sales can be a great choice for someone who wants a built in product, business plan and support wrapped up in one package. Plus the market research has been done already and there are people interested in the product.</p>
<p>To find a direct sales company, you may want to visit the Direct Sales Association You can search there for companies that market all sorts of products. If you’re already building a direct sales business why not take it to the web so the world can be your customer or business prospect? Tons of people search online for business opportunities. There are a lot of advantages to taking your existing direct sales business to the web.</p>
<p><strong>EBay business<br />
</strong><br />
You were wondering when I was going to get around to this, weren’t you? Online auctions have made it possible for thousands of people to earn a full time living on the Internet.</p>
<p>If you make your own product (whether a physical product or a digital one), you would be smart to do eBay at least part time. EBay is the second busiest site on the web. It would be wise of you to take advantage of their traffic to increase exposure to your business! You can do eBay exclusively or combine it with your other business idea to increase your earnings and exposure.</p>
<p><strong>Internet Talk Radio/Podcasting</strong></p>
<p>This is a relatively new concept- Internet talk radio available on demand 24/7 by anyone who has a computer! It sounds complicated but really isn’t. Publishing audio on your website is as easy as signing up for an Audio Acrobat account, lifting your phone and dialing a number, and talking! Imagine getting paid to talk about your favorite topics!</p>
<p>As I’m writing this, there is Healthy Family Talk Radio, Natural Moms Talk Radio, Homeschooling Talk Radio, Baby Talk Radio, Army Wife Talk Radio, Work at Home Mom Talk Radio… and there is plenty of room for more shows.</p>
<p>How do you make money?</p>
<p>You earn money from advertising, as well as from affiliate sales. For instance, let’s say you interview a popular author on your show. You put a link to their products on Amazon.com on your site. People listen to the show and want to learn more, so they buy the book and you get a commission. You can also sell advertising space on your show’s site, as well as on air ad spots. You can even monetize the site with Google AdSense if you like.</p>
<p>As you can see, there are many ways you can earn income on the Internet. Pick a business model that suits you and get started!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not all traffic exchanges are equal.  There is a new wave of traffic exchanges that are niched to specific audiences.  ShoppingWithMoms.com, the sister site to Wanttobeawahm.com, has been around for well over a year and focuses on work at homes and their businesses.  Recently, ShoppingWithMoms.com upgraded from a basic traffic exchange, where members surfed each others sites for credits, to a full advertising exchange network.  The upgraded Shopping With Moms now offers its members banner and text ad exchanges.  Members can add unlimited text and banner ads to the exchange.  In return, members can place banners and text ads on their sites.  Members who choose to do this, receive credits for ads to be displayed throughout the network.  A member who participates in all 3 of the exchanges (traffic, banner, and text) can easily earn enough free advertising to really make a huge difference in the visitors and customers.  Being that Shopping With Moms is focused on moms and work at home moms, the audience is targetted to where most work at home businesses want to aim at.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">By Liz Folger, Work-at-Home Expert</font></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Do you enjoy teaching others? Are you looking for the flexibility of owning your own business? Would you like to make on an average $25 or more an hour? Then the tutoring business might be the perfect home business for you to start. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Tutors Wanted!</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The good news is that there is a growing demand for tutors. Being a tutor isn’t just about academics either. It can be sports, music, and the arts. And it’s just not the kids who are looking for tutors. With so many adults going back to school, adults are actively seeking tutors and coaches to better themselves. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Those who make great tutors are teachers, teacher’s aids, dads, moms, coaches, those who home school, and entrepreneurs. Anyone that has the desire and enjoys teaching will find this a great field to get into. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The nice thing about becoming a tutor is that all you need to say is, “I’m a tutor.” There is no state licensing or certifications, and you don’t need a college degree. While it’s a great selling point if you do have some qualifications, it’s not necessary. Just the fact that you’ve helped your own kids with their homework for many years can establish you as a tutor. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Here are just a few areas that you can choose to tutor:</strong></font></p>
<div align="left">
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">All subjects taught in school</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">A foreign language, or English as a second language</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Any type of Sport</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Any type of musical instrument</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Voice lessons</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Reading (Children and Adults)</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">College Entrance Exams</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Computers (The senior citizen market is a great area to tap into)</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">All types of art</font></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">This is just a partial list. There are so many areas that could require a tutor. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>The Joy Of Owning Your Own Tutor Business</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Think about the areas you would like to teach. Don’t be afraid to niche yourself. While at first it might seem like a good idea to tutor all subjects, you’ll find that being considered an expert in one area is the way to go. If down the road you’re tutoring someone in Math who needs additional help in English, and this is something you feel comfortable with, go for it, but finding your niche is always a good thing. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">As the owner of your own tutoring business, you can decide the client base with which you’d like to work. If you want to work with kids, you can decide if they will be elementary, middle school, high school, junior college or college. If you find you get along better with middle aged children, then work with them. You no longer have to make money working with people you really don’t enjoy or jive with. That’s the beauty if self-employment. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>What Makes You The Expert?</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Whether you’re tutoring biology, flute, or soccer; what are your qualifications? Are you a teacher? Do you have a degree in music? Have you been working as a biologist for many years? Now’s the time to toot your horn. Even if you’re a mom or dad who loves a certain subject and has helped your own kids, you can easily say you’ve had this many years helping children in that particular area. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Where And When To Teach</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The cost of starting your own tutor business really isn’t that much when compared to other businesses. Most of the time you’ll be teaching in your own home at your kitchen table. You don’t really need any books; your students will bring their own. Anything you need to buy like flyers and business cards, is a tax write off. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">When school is in session you’ll find your busiest times will be Monday through Friday from 2:30 PM To 9:00 PM. You can decide the exact hours you want to offer, and if you want to teach on the weekends. You can decide if you want to work in the summer, since sometimes kids need to go to Summer school, or parents simply want their kids to have a jump-start on the next grade. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>How much can you really make?</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Depending on how much you tutor, in what part of the country you tutor, how in demand you are, and how many students you have all depends on what you’re going to make and what you can charge. Below is a chart based on making $25 an hour, which is about average for a tutor. However, it’s not unheard of for tutors to make as much as $60 an hour!</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">You Charge $25 An Hour…</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Your Work 5 Hours A Week $500/month </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">…………. 10 Hours A Week $1000/month</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">…………. 20 Hours A Week $2000/month</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">…………. 40 Hours A Week $4000/month</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Creating your own tutoring business can be fun, challenging, rewarding, and very profitable financially. Find an area you love, an age group you get along with and enjoy teaching, and the sky is the limit. </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The teen years are expensive years.  Most teens can&#8217;t wait to get their hands on the latest electronic gadgets, sneakers and clothes… but these things come with a hefty price tag.   So what&#8217;s a teen to do when their weekly allowance just wont stretch far enough?  Well start a business of course…</p>
<p>Here are two quick and easy to start online business ideas for teens:</p>
<p>Start a blog - blogs are by far the easiest way to start making a little extra money online.  Simply go to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">www.blogger.com</a> and register for a free account.   The process is really easy, so parents your teens don&#8217;t have to be techies to get started.  A blog can be about anything that will be of interest to other people.  You may need to help you teen research to make sure there is a need for the specific type of blog they choose.  Once you know there&#8217;s a need for it, you can monetize that blog with Google AdSense.</p>
<p>Every time someone visits your blog and clicks on a Google ad you get a certain amount of money per click.  Now you may want to reinforce this message to your teens - please don&#8217;t ever, ever, ever click on your own ads or get someone else to do it for you.  This could get you eliminated from the Google AdSense program and you won&#8217;t be able to use it again. </p>
<p>Start a Local Teen Website - Local searches are on the rise.  This means that more and more people are searching online for even local events and happenings.  Teens love the internet, so why not help your teen put together a website geared towards the local teens in the community.  This website could include things like places to hang out, the latest movies, places to eat, places to shop and anything of interest to teens!</p>
<p>Your teen can also make a little extra money by linking to products which interest teens on the site through their affiliate ID.  This means if someone buys a product on your teen&#8217;s site they make a commission as long as the person clicked through to the product with your teens affiliate ID. </p>
<p>One example of an affiliate program you can easily sign up for is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">www.Amazon.com</a> , they sell a wide variety of things and by linking to Amazon from your teens site they can make a little extra money that way too.</p>
