There’s a brand new way of making extra money online, and if you’re a talker and a surfer it should be a relatively easy and fun occupation. Companies – read advertisers – are starting to pay bloggers to casually talk about their products, disguising the marketing tactic as a casual conversation. Of course, there are plenty of bloggers out there that are getting paid for advertising on their blogs. This, however, is a brand new and very controversial way of making extra money online. The reason for the controversy is not the fact that blogs have ads now, but that bloggers would disguise their compensated endorsement as an unbiased opinion. This may not matter if John Smith down the street says he likes Coke, but what if Jeff Gordon touts the greatness of Pennzoil?
The fact of the matter, of course, is that Jeff Gordon is not likely to be trying to make extra money online this way.
Here is the essence of this payment for blogging arrangement. For this example we’ve looked at a site and company brand new today, and will take a look at how they explain this making extra money online process.
The first step for bloggers to start making extra money online is to get their tax id number. This is a home business and a blogger will get a 1099. Then, assuming her or his blog is already up and running she just needs to go to the business site and choose the opportunities he feels best suited for. Advertisers are listed here, that seek people to write about the firm’s site, its products and services. Each opportunity has its own list of requirements to get paid. One advertiser might require only that a link to its site be listed on the blog while another might ask for more extensive content be included or a picture.
The company that is offering the opportunity to make the extra money online will go to the blog, approve the content, link, photo or other requirement and then check back in 30 days to verify that it is still live. That is the one constant requirement for making extra money online with this firm – the blog and the advertiser’s requirements must remain live online for 30 days. Payment is then made to the bloggers PayPal account.

Best Businesses from Home
In finding the best home based business for someone who dreams of being an entrepreneur, there is no hard and fast list of “bests.” One entrepreneur’s best home based business idea is another entrepreneur’s worst. So much depends on what that business owner-hopeful enjoys doing, knows how to do, and has some of the resources already in place for. Other considerations in determining the best home based business are what the desired market will bear – what the competition is, and how saturated the market is.
The best way for someone who wants a home based business to start is to determine what she or he loves – what she looks forward to doing, what makes the time fly by for him, what she would gladly spend many hours of every day accomplishing. The next step is for the owner-to-be to assess his or her training, skills and knowledge of various industries. Putting the dream list with the skills list should indicate some crossover. Those things that end up on both lists are great indicators of the best home based business type for this business owner to-be. If, for example, a veterinarian’s assistant is tired of making very little money working for someone else, braving the 30 minute crawl along the highway commute, but really loves those horses that her employer cares for. She might well be a great candidate for a riding school proprietorship, a horse farm, or a grooming facility.
Once the industry and anything more specific in the way of products or services has been determined for the best home based business idea, the work is not done. The business owner has to determine that the business will make money. Questions the entrepreneur has to ask himself are “Who will be my customers? Why will they choose my service? How often will they need my services – what will make them repeat customers? Who is the competition? How can I vary my services from the competition – i.e., what might be my niche? And, what should I charge for my services (based on what others are charging in the market area)?
Part of determining what to charge is determining expenses that must be paid to stay in business. Once the entrepreneur determines the price that will be competitive she or he must find out if that asking price will bring in a profit. If the price that must be placed on the product to make a profit after expenses is too high to be competitive in the market the choices are to change the market or change the product. If it doesn’t make the company money, it’s not the best home based business.

To Spammers Everywhere
While I'm not fond of the spam, I understand it's a job; and in this economy, a job that pays the bills is to be appreciated.
Since I seem to get over 100 spam emails a day, I consider myself quite knowledgeable. Here's a few suggestions for you to make your spamming more successful:
1. Emailing me the same message 40 times in one day doesn't make me read them. It's just as easy to click the button that says delete all messages as it is to delete only one. Basically, I'm telling you this so you can save some time- it must take a few seconds to repeatedly send out the same message to thousands of addresses.
2. I'm a woman. I have no desire to increase my penis size, or make my erections last longer. Please market your "goods" to the appropriate demographic. I'm sure you got that info from whatever mailing list you purchased my email address from- why not use it?
3. Sending me an email that appears to have been sent from my email address doesn't make me read it. Are you really banking on the thought that I forgot that I sent myself an email about how to make thousands of dollars working from home? First of all, I don't generally send email to myself. If I did, I'm generally going to remember doing it. So why not just put the real email address there?
4. Your newest trick- saying the email is from "Sally" regarding "Tim" (feel free to change the names to whichever ones you're using- I get a variety of them). Clever, but really- do you think we're going to fall for that? In most cases, you're not even using common names. How many Kellys have a friend named Sarota sending them emails about a guy named Jawad? I'm guessing not many. So everyone else will just delete it without opening it. And since your spam has nothing to do with Jawad, why not just be up front with what it's about? Just once, I'd like to see an email titled "yeah, it's more spam, but why not take a look?"... You know what- I would probably look at it!
5. At least try to be creative. If you've got to spam, can you at least entertain me? There's nothing worse than getting spam from "lkdjrfoweir" with a subject titled "jjkkkkkwww"... Yeah- it doesn't really make me want to read it.
6. Again, I'm a woman. Not that you'd know my sexuality, but the majority of the population is heterosexual. So sending out nude photos of women isn't going to lure most of us women in. Save that for the men.
7. Titling the subject line "re:" doesn't make me think that you're responding to an email I sent you.
Bottom line, if you must inconvenience me, can you at least have the courtesy to get it right?
