Ways To Supplement Social Security Retirement Income

Blogs, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

With the cost of living rising daily, some of us find it difficult to survive on a social security income.

Living on an unsustainable income is hard, and if you need more income to cover your living expenses, you could rack up expensive debt that constrains your cash flow even more.

Living on too little income is hard enough when you’re working, but it’s unsustainable in retirement.

Too many Americans are feeling this pressure. Studies confirm that many pre-retirees don’t have enough savings to support a comfortable retirement.

And while Social Security might help, most savers know it’s not to be a sole source of income.

According to a survey from Schroder Investment Management, 67% of respondents did not believe their monthly Social Security benefit would be enough to live on.

Of course, knowing that Social Security won’t be enough and being able to address it are two different things.

For example, if you’re already close to retirement, saving up $1 million fast to supplement your Social Security benefit is unrealistic.

Instead, you’ll have to be resourceful about your income streams to make the situation work best.

2. Passive income

Most of us will face health problems later that affect our ability to work. That’s why passive income is so appealing for retirees: The money keeps rolling in, no matter what.

Typical passive income sources include dividends, real estate and rental, and business income.

Unfortunately, these mostly require cash investment up front, which is the very thing you don’t have.

Granted, a business venture that takes off could easily out-earn a stock market investment, but you also risk losing all your money.

In this digital age, however, you can generate passive income in less traditional ways and with considerably less risk.

Some options include renting out a room in your home on Airbnb, renting your garage on JustPark, or renting your unused basement or attic as storage space on Storemates.

You could also start a blog or sell your photography to a stock photo website like Shutterstock.

3. Part-time work

If you’re comfortable working with technology, a remote, part-time job could be the right option in your earlier retirement years.

Try job sites like FlexJobs, and We Work Remotely for remote customer service roles, teaching and tutoring jobs, data entry positions, bookkeeping opportunities, and more.

4. Gig work

A part-time job should provide a steady paycheck but comes with the responsibility of working regular hours.

If you’d prefer to set your schedule, you could supplement your retirement income with gig work instead.

By definition, gig work is flexible. You decide what projects to accept and when to complete them.

Fiverr and Upwork are two popular gig work websites where you can promote your skills as a freelance writer, graphic designer, quality assurance specialist, accountant, computer programmer, and more. You could also outsource your skills as a handyman, mover, housekeeper, delivery service, or personal assistant on TaskRabbit or Thumbtack.

Get creative to generate income.

Social Security is your retirement safety net, but it needs to get the job done with others.

If your savings don’t fill the income gap, get creative about generating income through assets you already own or skills you have.

It may not be the retirement you dreamed of, but it’s better than skipping a mortgage payment or reaching for credit cards when the budget doesn’t balance.

You could also make money online, and there are different ways to make a living online.

Here are some ways to make money using the Internet

  • Drop Shipping

  • Online Video

  • Information Products

  •  Blogging

  • Affiliate Marketing

Drop Shipping

With an online drop shipping business, as a small business owner, you don’t have to have any inventory whatsoever of products or handle any delivery to your customers.

Be sure to work with a company specializing in drop shipping.

There is no financial cost and risk of having a warehouse full of stuff you might not sell and the hassle of arranging to send orders worldwide. You don’t have to manufacture or store any products at all.

Your only focus is marketing and advertising to find customers and make sales. Once there is a sale, others handle everything else. Your only cost is marketing and advertising to acquire a new customer.

Online Video

Create helpful content—something engaging that people want to watch. It could be a how-to video or a talking-head video on a topic of interest for people in your niche—the sky is the limit.

You make money with ad revenue. Your first step is to create a YouTube account and start uploading videos.

Then you enable monetization on your YouTube settings, which gives Google the go-ahead to include short AdSense ads with your videos; When viewers click on those ads, you get paid.

Creating professional-looking videos (no expensive pro equipment needed):

  • You can use your smartphone or a simple video camera. But make sure the lighting is good so that everything in your video is clear and easy to see.
  • Make sure the audio is clear. You don’t want an air conditioning hum, construction noise, or other distractions.
  • Use simple editing software like iMovie to put titles at the video’s beginning and edit out any flubs.

Above all, remember that your videos can be simple and don’t have to be slick. Just provide valuable content and be engaging and interesting. Funny helps, too.

  • Information Products

There’s no shortage of ways to create information products, but the most popular formats include:

  • Audio: a recorded teleconference, interview, course, or some other spoken-word product
  • Video: a recorded webinar, a how-to, an interview
  • Text: an ebook, an instruction booklet of some sort, a travel guide

In each category, you can get creative and make any type and format of content as long as it’s engaging and valuable.

Blogging

A  blog is a website where people can post their thoughts and opinions on various topics. A blog is an online journal where you can share your expertise and ideas.

A blog MOSTLY focuses on written content (popularly known as blog posts). Blog posts are in an informal or conversational style.

A blog can be about any topic but primarily focused on a specific niche, such as fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food, travel, parenting, finance, etc.

You can also add pictures and videos to your blog and share links to your posts on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Once you have an audience or generate traffic from your blog, you may be able to make money from blogging in various ways, including;

  • Selling affiliate products
  • Selling your products
  • Using display ads such as AdSense, Mediavine, Media.net, etc

  • Affiliate Marketing

  • Affiliate marketing is an advertising model in which a company compensates third-party publishers to generate traffic or leads to the company’s products and services.
  • The third-party publishers are affiliates, and the commission fee incentivizes them to find ways to promote the company.

Affiliate marketing is a marketing scheme in which a company compensates partners for business created from the affiliate’s marketing tactics.

  • Of all the proven ways to make money online, I prefer affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing offers you the chance to make money online by promoting affiliate products – physical products, digital products, and services by referring people to the seller’s company website.

You will receive a specific commission once the customer completes the process of accepting the offer through your unique affiliate link.

This type of marketing approach continues to grow in popularity because it is advantageous to both the seller and the consumer and is effective.

In most cases, you’ll need a lot of money to start your business. However, with affiliate marketing, it’s different; you can start for free.

To start affiliate marketing, I recommend getting some training in the ins and outs of affiliate marketing.

How To Monetize Your Blog Using Affiliate Marketing Programs

Blogs, Categorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Do you have a BLOG and would like to start making money from your blog but are not sure how to go about it

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to monetize your blog. In this post, we will look at how to use affiliate marketing programs to help you make money online with your blog.

Affiliate marketing is an effective way to build a business and create a passive income stream for yourself that can earn you money for years to come if constructed appropriately.

In this post, we will look at the following:

  • What is Affiliate Marketing?
  • Affiliate Marketing Terms Defined
  • Where To Find Affiliate Marketing Programs
  • How To Create Content That Converts
  • Where To Get Started
  • Final Thoughts

WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING?

Affiliate marketing is earning a commission when someone buys from the links on your blog when you promote other people’s products.

Affiliate marketing is a specialized form of marketing where an advertiser seeks to advertise or sell products or services through an affiliate network.

There is more to affiliate marketing if you want to be successful in this business.

Building a blog is one of the best methods to build an affiliate marketing business.

You can produce a blog about the product or company you are affiliated with or blend the product or service into your posts with related topics.

The Benefits Of Affiliate Marketing

  • Low or no-cost start-up
  • No product needed
  • Flexible work settings
  • No sales experience required
  • Huge customer base

The Cons of affiliate marketing are it is more challenging than answering surveys, testing apps, or anything like that.

To explain further, companies offer bloggers or anyone wanting to earn money to promote their products by giving them a link.

You will use this link on your blog to explain the product and recommend it to your audience.

When your readers click on the link, it will take them to the company’s website selling the product, allowing them to buy it.

When they buy, you will earn a commission. That’s the whole cycle of affiliate marketing.

AFFILIATE MARKETING TERMS DEFINED

Before we go further, I want to explain some of the terms used in affiliate marketing:

  • Affiliate Link – This is the link companies provide you to use to promote their products. It can be specific to a particular product on their website, or it can be a search page or a category. This affiliate link tracks the users going from your website to their website, and your commissions are paid to you
  • Affiliate Products – You can promote and earn a commission on these products.
  • Affiliate Programs – When looking for affiliate products, you first want to know if a company even has an affiliate program. Companies create affiliate programs if they wish others to promote their products and, in return, pay them a commission or fee for their referral.
  • Affiliate Networks – Some websites bring together website publishers and advertisers (companies that offer affiliate programs) in one place. The network runs the affiliate program for the companies in the network. Publishers like you and I can visit these networks to find many companies that offer affiliate products.
  • Commissions – This is money you earn when someone clicks on your affiliate link, and you make either a flat fee or a percentage of the sale. Commissions are pre-determined and should know before joining any affiliate programs. Amazon’s affiliate program calls their commissions “advertising fees,” so there are different terms.

WHERE TO FIND AFFILIATE MARKETING PROGRAMS

Affiliate Networks:

You can find links on affiliate marketing networks such as  CJ Affiliate by Conversant (formerly known as Commission Junction), LinkShare, Clickbank, ShareASale, Amazon Associates, and eBay.

You apply to these networks, and they all have different requirements; sometimes, you can get in immediately, but it can take a little while.

For others like CJ Affiliate by Conversant, you can set up your account quickly. Still, then after you’ve found the companies or products you want to promote, you have to apply to the individual companies in the network.

The company you choose can approve you immediately or take some time to review your website and approve or disapprove as they determine.

Once approved, you can get the affiliate links to start promoting.

For Amazon Associates, your application will only get reviewed once you have made your first commission, but that also means they can disapprove you, and you will not earn that first commission.

However, once Amazon approves you, you don’t need to apply further to promote any of the products they carry.

Private Affiliate Programs:

Some companies offer affiliate programs like HostGator, Fiverr, Nike, Apple, and Disney.

To find out who has affiliate programs for the product you want, go on Google and search “product name + affiliate program,” you should be able to find the companies that offer them.

Best Type of Affiliate Programs:

Different affiliate programs are out there, and knowing the different types determines which program you want to join.

HOW TO CREATE CONTENT THAT CONVERTS

The best way to promote your affiliate products is not by selling to your audience but by recommending the products.

Nobody wants to be sold to, especially people who don’t know you.

You need to earn their trust, and you can do that by creating helpful content.

If you want to help others, then you cater to their needs; it is crucial to know the needs of your audience.

After learning something new and thinking your recommendation will work, the reader will click on your affiliate link and take them to the site that sells and buys the products.

Meeting your reader’s needs is the best way to convert your readers into buyers!

Here’s a walkthrough of the process again here:

  • Find a problem your audience may have;
  • Show them how to solve this problem;
  • Recommend the products that will help them solve this problem;
  • The reader clicks on your affiliate link and buys it on the recommended site you linked them to; and
  • You make a commission!

Sometimes the simplest way to convert a reader is their need to be noticed and met, but many publishers miss this, and all they do is sell.

You need to build trust with your readers and find them solutions they can use; that’s why they were on the internet in the first place, searching for answers.

I hope this has helped you see how this process will more successfully convert your readers to buyers than just telling them how great a product is.

Your audience will always want to know how a product will benefit and improve their lives if they have it, so you need to show them this.

WHERE TO GET STARTED

There is a lot to learn about affiliate marketing, and the internet has a lot of information about everything.

But on the internet, the information is in multiple places; gathering all the information necessary to build a successful online business will take some time and effort.

You will need proper affiliate marketing training to understand better how to write content, find products, know what to write about, and use keyword techniques to generate free blog traffic.

TimeBucks A GPT Site Get Paid For Completing Simple Tasks

Categorized, SURVEYS, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Thousands of online sites, each promising to reward you for participating in a program. But does TheTimeBucks deliver on that promise?

This post is written based on the information and testimonials available online in the public domain.

What is TimeBucks?

TimeBucks is a GPT (get-paid-to) online reward site that offers the opportunity to make money in several ways. TimeBucks continuously develop and add new earning methods to its platform.

TimeBucks is owned by Australian Clearing Pty Ltd, but it is available for worldwide participation and free to become a member.

Some of the opportunities to earn are:

  • Paid Surveys

  • Watch videos:

  • Offerwalls:

  • Content options:

  • Micro-tasks

  • Get cash back when shopping online

  • Referral Program

  • Weekly Sweepstakes

  • Daily Contests

Paid surveys:

Many providers offer TimeBucks surveys while logged in and paid into your TimeBucks account.

The chances of you finding a survey are very good because most surveys are offered through survey routers or offer walls, and there is usually a good amount of surveys available.

But as with most survey sites, you must qualify before taking a survey, and it sometimes can take some patience to find the surveys you are eligible for.

Surveys are one of the best ways to earn on Timebucks and a section you should check out if you join. You can find a lot of different surveys.

Exactly how many surveys are available varies and depends on your country, even though it has surveys for most countries.

 Watch videos:

TimeBucks offers a few different ways to earn by watching videos in the video section.

One is the same as most other GPT sites, where you must watch three videos + ads on a specific topic. And they also have small separate videos where you will get paid when you have seen a certain number of seconds.

videos on timebucksThere are many videos, but there are other highest-paying options.

You can find these videos by going to the “content” tab in the earning section, scrolling down, and finding the “video” tab.

It is an easy way to make extra. But the rewards for this option are meager, so not an opportunity to use to boost your earnings.

Also, the conditions for each video and what it takes are obvious on TimeBucks. This makes it easy to see immediately if it will be worth your time.

In addition to these video options, you can also earn by watching YouTube videos. You can find this option by going to the “Engage” tab.

To take part in this option, you must sign up for a third-party site where you can earn by watching random YouTube videos.

It takes a few minutes to set up, but the instructions are straightforward and explain precisely how it works, and once it has been set up, you get paid per video you watch.

Option 3 – Offerwalls:

The offer-wall section has access to several different offers. This can, for example, be to get paid to download apps, to sign up for a website, to test a product for free, etc.

Timebucks gives access to approximately 12 walls, each providing access to many offers.

Some of these offers have excellent rewards. Most of them are also offered through other survey sites like PrizeRebel.

Content options:

The content tab inside Timebucks gives access to several(about 8 ) different ways to earn.

You can earn by clicking small ads and visiting a website for a few seconds. It can also be to like TimeBucks Facebook page and more.

In this section, you can also find the following earning opportunities:

  • Engaged hits (you can earn by installing software that will play videos automatically)
  • Push click (get paid to click on ads delivered as push notifications in your browser)
  • Get paid to search (earn up to $0.01 per online search, depending on the country you live in)
  • Get paid to watch YouTube videos
  • Watch News slideshows

The great thing about the content section is that you can always find ways to earn here, no matter your country.

Some of the options in this section will not make you a lot of money, but many of us often watch slideshows, News, etc., like this anyway, and the tasks are generally easy and fast.

Micro-tasks

Timebucks has a section called “Tasks.”

Here you can get paid to do different tasks like downloading apps, watching YouTube videos, visiting certain websites, following people on social media, etc.

Other Timebucks members create these tasks, as only some offer fair pay for their time. So choose these tasks wisely.

You can always decide which tasks to do, see the requirements, and pay before you start.

Get cash back when shopping online.

TimeBucks has a cashback option, a great way to earn/save money if you shop online.

You can use this option if you ever shop through Ali Express.

TimeBucks have some excellent options if you ever shop through Ali Express.It is a good idea to check out this section.

Referral Program:

Another option for earning is the referral program, which invites other people to join TimeBucks and get paid a commission for this.

You will get paid in 5 levels. That means that you will also get commissions for the people that your referred people refer. Not a high commission.

Inviting many people who also invite a lot can build up and be a great way to earn. Because it has five levels, it makes it a good referral program compared to many other similar sites.

Timebucks weekly sweepstake

Timebucks has weekly sweepstakes you enter just by being active on the site. And If you are lucky and win a prize, boost your earnings.

Every day you log in to TimeBucks, you get  100 entries, and for any task you do, you will getone1 entry per $0.001 you earn, and you will get 200 entries per person you invite to join.

In addition to this, there is an easy way to get a lot of extra entries passively by downloading the Timebucks Sweepstakes software.

By running the software, you will get 100 free Sweepstakes entries every 10 minutes without doing any tasks. Just be aware that it currently only works on Windows PCs.

The software mines cryptocurrency using your unused processing power, and Timebucks will then give you Sweepstake entries in return.

Advertise

You can also use TimeBucks to advertise. The options you have here vary, but you can, for example, promote your YouTube videos.

If you have a YouTube video, you would like to get more views, you can promote it here. You will choose how many views you would like, from which countries, age group, and more, and then pay for this. Other members will then get paid to view your video.

Daily contest:

Every day, the top 5 earners on Timebucks will be rewarded with extra cash. First place will get $20 down to $1 for the fifth place.

How do you get paid On TimeBucks?

The payout threshold on TimeBucks is $10. Your reward is automatically paid once you have reached the payout threshold.

Payment is processed once weekly, but you can wait until you have accumulated more money; you can also choose to hold your payment until you manually ask to get the cash-out.

TimeBucks offers different payout methods: Bitcoin, Litecoin, PayPal, Payeer, AirTM, bank transfer, Virtual Visa, and Skrill.

Is TimeBucks Legit?

TimeBucks is a legit GPT site with many earning options and many opportunities to make money.

With all the earning opportunities offered on TimeBucks, the monetary reward needed to be a sustainable income earner is meager; compared to some survey sites, it is good.

But if you want something to become a livable income earner, I recommend affiliate marketing.

The Best Way To Make Money Online Starting For Free

Blogs, Categorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Are you looking for a way to make money but need start-up cash?

You can make money without having the cash to begin in many ways.

  • Drop Shipping
  • Online Video
  • Information Products
  •  Blogging
  • Affiliate Marketing

These are just a few ideas from which you can make money without start-up cash.

Drop Shipping

With an online drop shipping business, as a small business owner, you don’t have to have any inventory whatsoever of products or handle any delivery to your customers.

Be sure to work with a company specializing in drop shipping.

There is no financial cost and risk of having a warehouse full of stuff you might not sell and the hassle of arranging to send orders worldwide. You don’t have to manufacture or store any products at all.

Your only focus is marketing and advertising to find customers and make sales. Once there is a sale, others handle everything else. Your only cost is marketing and advertising to acquire a new customer.

  • You list products for sale on your website or a platform like Amazon, eBay, or Etsy.
  • When one of your customers makes a purchase, you purchase the product from a third-party company (the drop shipper, usually a manufacturer or wholesaler) for a lower price. This process is as simple as forwarding the order from your customer, a process that can be completely automated.
  • Your drop shipper then sends the product to the customer.
  • There is no risk to you because you only purchase the product (at cost) once there is an actual sale.

Online video

You can leverage YouTube’s reach to make money online. No, you’re not trying to create a viral video, although if it goes worldwide and millions see it, that’s a good thing.

Instead, follow the proven strategy for maximizing views of multiple videos regularly. Create helpful content—something engaging that people want to watch. It could be a how-to video or a talking-head video on a topic of interest for people in your niche—the sky is the limit.

You make money with ad revenue. Your first step is to create a YouTube account and start uploading videos.

Then you enable monetization on your YouTube settings, which gives Google the go-ahead to include short AdSense ads with your videos; When viewers click on those ads, you get paid.

Creating professional-looking videos (no expensive pro equipment needed):

  • You can use your smartphone or a simple video camera. But make sure the lighting is good so that everything in your video is clear and easy to see.
  • Make sure the audio is clear. You don’t want an air conditioning hum, construction noise, or other distractions.
  • Use simple editing software like iMovie to put titles at the video’s beginning and edit out any flubs.

Above all, remember that your videos can be simple and don’t have to be slick. Just provide valuable content and be engaging and interesting. Funny helps, too.

Information Products

An internet business doesn’t have to be about selling physical products; Digital information products are one of the easiest and quickest ways to make money.

There’s no shortage of ways to create information products, but the most popular formats include:

  • Audio: a recorded teleconference, interview, course, or some other spoken-word product
  • Video: a recorded webinar, a how-to, an interview
  • Text: an ebook, an instruction booklet of some sort, a travel guide

In each category, you can get creative and make any type and format of content as long as it’s engaging and valuable.

This internet business also creates passive income—money you earn while you sleep because you sell these products on your website. A customer can automatically buy and download them anytime or at night. All you have to do is check the sales periodically to see what topics or types of products are selling best so you can make more of those.

Pros
  • It can bring in passive income once you put the product on the market
  • It can be a quick way to make money
Cons
  • Creating a product takes some upfront work and time
  • You may need to invest some money initially

Blogs/Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing, you offer the products for sale, for example, on your blog or e-commerce website. Each product has a unique link that tracks back to your account with your affiliate partner.

A prospect who clicks on the link takes them to your partner’s shopping cart for checkout. Once they make a purchase, you receive a commission.

Commission amounts vary depending on the affiliate partner but are generally 5 percent to 25 percent, or 50 percent or more, with digital information products.

As you can see, there’s little risk on your part, and virtually no investment is needed either. Like drop shipping, your only costs will be marketing and advertising to drive traffic and generate sales.

All you have to do

All you have to do is provide a link for the customer to click on, and the merchant handles everything; billing, order fulfillment, customer service, etc.

All you have to do is handle the marketing to get your prospects to buy (through social media, email marketing, blogging, or whatever method you choose).

But it’s out of your hands. You don’t have to ship products or handle any customer service questions. And you certainly don’t have to maintain an inventory.

All you must do is focus on paid and free ways to market your online business.

Affiliate marketing is one of the most “hand-off” online businesses you can start.

  • Of all the proven ways to make money online, I prefer affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing offers you the chance to make money online by promoting affiliate products – physical products, digital products, and services by referring people to the seller’s company website.

You will receive a specific commission once the customer completes the process of accepting the offer through your unique affiliate link.

This type of marketing approach continues to grow in popularity because it is advantageous to both the seller and the consumer and is effective.

In most cases, you’ll need a lot of money to start your business. However, with affiliate marketing, it’s different.

What you’re going to need is a blog website; this is for you to increase your online presence, establish authority with your readers, and eventually promote your affiliate products.

A blog is an excellent way to start making money online with no money because you can apply to affiliate programs for free.

How will you create your website without spending a single penny?

Affiliate Marketing Training Platform

You will need training for the affiliate marketing business, whether a new or an experienced affiliate marketer.

Trends changes often, and to be successful, you need to keep up with the changes, and a good training platform is necessary.

Many training platforms offer training in blogging/affiliate marketing.

I’m introducing you to an affiliate marketing training platform that offers you a Free Starter membership account where you can get a website for free.

This training platform is called Wealthy Affiliate, and I am a member of this platform; I started for free, built my first website, and wrote my first content about health.

There are many benefits to the training platform on Wealthy Affiliate; this platform is ideal for beginners, particularly those who are looking for ways how to make money with no money online.

Many assume earning money through affiliate marketing is easy, like setting it and forgetting it.

The truth is, it’s not. There are a lot of things that you need to do before you can earn a stable income.

You must get training so you understand the whole concept of affiliate marketing.

With the Starter membership plan, you get 5. free lessons to get you started, including a keyword research tool plus a Site Builder. You will create your website in less than a minute.

Incredible Community

They have an incredible community. You will meet thousands of affiliate marketers in Wealthy Affiliate’s community on different levels, including those that have rich experiences.

They will be ready to help you whenever you have concerns or if something needs to be clarified.

However, you’ll have limited access to the community if you stay on the Starter free plan.

As a Starter, you get an affiliate link, so you will earn for inviting new members to a Wealthy Affiliate.

With the Starter account, you can have some features of the Premium account for seven days to test them out, and this will allow you to experience firsthand how the platform can help you in your affiliate marketing journey.

Many affiliate marketing courses are advertised online, so choosing the right one is essential.

start your own business

Start your own business.

You will need a course that will allow you the freedom to go at your own pace while providing you with all required to be a successful affiliate marketer.

Certain things are essential that a training platform should offer.

If you are wondering what to look for in a training platform, here are my thoughts.

There should be some basic things that you will need in an affiliate training program.

  • A place where you can learn as you go
  • A beginner-friendly and online approach
  • An active community With people who have already achieved results

And some questions need to be answered before you make your decision.

1. Do they offer a free trial?

I started my online business with a free trial. I had spent money on programs that did not work for me, and I decided only to pay once I was sure it was what I wanted.

2. Price?

Sometimes it can be challenging to compare courses as there are different pricing models, e.g., yearly or monthly payments.

If you are new to affiliate marketing, you would be better off going with the monthly payment rather than a one-time payment of a large amount.

You will only lose a little money if you decide not to continue with the program.

3. What’s included?

It’s important to know what your future expenses will be. Is hosting included? Is there a keyword tool or other learning materials like Webinars & Others Materials?

4. Is support provided?

 Is Support & Coaching readily available?

Getting help is very important when learning to build an online business.

There is little doubt that you will have questions at some stage and want reliable information.

Wealthy Affiliate has a very active community that is always willing to help. And you can reach coaches through their page.

5. Not a get-rich-quick scheme

Affiliate Marketing is not a successful overnight business. It is going to take time and hard work. So if you are looking for quick cash, affiliate marketing is not for you.

Speaking from experience, there will be times you will have to overcome moments of doubt, but never give up.

I invite you to look at the platform I am a part of. Wealthy Affiliate,

Create Your Own Make Money Online Website FreeTo Start

Blogs, Categorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Financially we are all feeling the pinch, and some of us, if not all, are looking for ways to make some extra money.

Fortunately for us, there is the internet, and with the internet comes lots of ways to make money online.

You can make a couple of dollars by answering surveys, downloading apps, and doing many more tasks.

But if you want to be serious about making money that can be a real wage earner, then you will need a website.

In today’s post, I will discuss how to create your website and earn money online. Building a website is not complicated, But before you make a website to earn money, there are a few things you need to have in place.

Know your goals

  • Know your goals, what you want to achieve in your business, how much money you would like to earn, and how much would make you very happy.
  • What would your site be about (your niche)? It should be about something you love or a hobby, or maybe a field you have worked in, and there is something you need to remember; there is no need for you to be an expert; you will become an expert by researching the topic you are writing.
  • Build your website, choose a theme, and buy a domain name ( your .com address); all these are available on sites like GoDaddy.com Wix and training platforms like Wealthy Affiliate.
  • Now start writing content for your website. Remember, you have to be consistent. You have to post regularly, best one post a day, or at least three times per week, this is the income stream you are building, so it is best to think of it as your job—part-time or full-time; you have to spend some time on your site every day if you want to see your business be successful and earning money.

.

The more you write, the more interest your site will hold. The more interest your site has, the more people will follow it.

And more importantly, the more relevant your site will appear to the ad placement algorithms. More ads = more clicks = more money. Keep sight of that goal.

Affiliate Marketing

As I mentioned, there are many ways to make money online, but the most effective way to make money online is through Affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is recommending someone’s products and services to target customers.

Recommended Products are effective when sales you make a sale and you earn commissions.

Many bloggers and website owners already engage in this type of sales tactic.

It doesn’t matter what level you’re at. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, affiliate marketing is the most effective way to earn money online.

If you are new to affiliate marketing and may find the name intimidating or you cannot understand the concept, (for step by step guide to building a website, click here for free )

Affiliate marketing is about making money online using ads, courses, ebooks, sponsored posts, etc., and is an excellent work-at-home business idea; it gives one freedom and flexibility.

You can either sell your goods or services or sell or promote someone else goods or services and get paid to do so.

If you intend to monetize your website, then proper training is necessary.

Learning the technical aspects of managing a website, like dealing with search engines.

To appear on the index, you must ensure your website has all the necessary qualities.

Training yourself by searching Google for relevant information will be frustrating, as the information gathering will be in bits and pieces.

To make a successful website, you must have the correct tools and information promptly, and the best place to do that is a training platform.

Fortunately, the training platform I found has all the essential information and tools. It is a well-established training platform for all bloggers, from newbies to well-established bloggers; you can start for FREE.

Getting trained from a proper place is worth your time and investment because you will learn fundamental online skills that will make you money for years.

I am in my mid 70’s, and I have met members in their 80s; we are doing it and getting along quite well, and so can you.

UserCrowd Earn Money Giving Design Feed Back Free To Join

SURVEYS, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Thousands of online sites, each promising to reward you for participating in a program. But does The UserCrowd deliver on that promise?

This post is written based on the information and testimonials available online in the public domain.

What is UserCrowd?

UserCrowd, previously referred to as Usability, is a website that pays its user to give their review and Feedback on their website. 

The idea of the website is to provide an idea of how efficient an app is or how hard or easy to use said app is. 

How does UserCrowd Works

As with all sites like this, before you start earning, you must be a member; UserCrowd is available globally, and you must be at least 18 years of age since they are using PayPal as the mode of payment. 

You can only use one account and must never share any of the tests done on the website.

Then you have to select your country from the listings available there. There are almost all countries so it may be easy to find your country.

The next step is selecting your language and providing your phone for verification.

After verifying your phone, verifying your timezone, and getting messages immediately for testing and Feedback, it is recommended to open push notifications.

Now you are all set to begin working on the UserCrowd website.

How will you Provide Feedback?

Paid Tests

After becoming a member, you can access the website and view all the available paid tests you can do; You will also be notified via email if there are available tests.

Clicking on a paid test offer directly takes you to the test you must complete. The test consists of questions about a particular product or service (which is from one of their partner companies). Most tests will ask you to explain why you answered a certain way.

These are the most crucial parts of the test, and you must be sure to elaborate on why you answered that question, As UserCrowd reviews the answers to determine if you should get the reward.

Once UserCrowd finishes reviewing your answers, they will decide whether you should receive the reward based on your submitted answers.

How Do You Get Paid On UserCrowd?

The payout threshold is 100 credits (equivalent to $10); payments are via PayPal. 

Payment may take up to 30 days to be approved because they usually review the payment requests first.

Is UserCrowd Legit? 

UserCrowd is a Legit site that pays you for participating in their paid tests; it is available globally but has limited earning opportunities.

 Taking surveys may be a popular way to make money online, but it is not the only way; there are many ways to make money online.

But by far, the most effective way is affiliate marketing. What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a specialized form of marketing where an advertiser seeks to advertise or sell products or services through an affiliate network.

There is more to affiliate marketing if you want to be successful in this business.

Building a blog is one of the best methods to build an affiliate marketing business.

You can produce a blog about the product or company you are affiliated with or blend the product or service into your posts with related topics.

The Benefits Of Affiliate Marketing

  • Low or no-cost start-up
  • No product needed
  • Flexible work settings
  • No sales experience required
  • Huge customer base

The Cons of affiliate marketing are it is more challenging than answering surveys, testing apps, or anything like that.

Affiliate marketing is not a get-rich-quick business; it requires work, time, consistency, and patience.

It also requires training; all the information about affiliate marketing can be found on the internet, but it is in multiple places, and that would require you to know what to search for.

Fortunately, they are platforms that offer training in affiliate marketing. And the best one is the platform I am a part of, Wealthy Affiliate.

Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

Yes, Affiliate marketing does work; Wealthy Affiliate’s strategy is for the long term, meaning you will not see results right away because, with the online business, you need to give it time to build, to gain authority in search engines’ eyes,

Affiliate marketing is not a get-rich venture, but when done right, the rewards can be significant; there is a saying Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.this is very accurate.

Set Up A Blog

Set Up the Blog

There are free blog options such as WordPress and Blogger, but to retain control and a professional image, consider investing in a domain name and a hosting service.

Add Content

Once your blog is up and running, you must keep it active with new content to grow your business. Develop a set schedule for writing and posting blog articles. Create a content calendar so you always know what you will post.

Market

With the right training platform, you are taught how to set up your blog and choose a niche and everything that goes with setting up a successful blog.

Choose Your Niche To make money online.

Choosing a niche you like or are passionate about will make your blog more authentic, and your readers will connect with your passion and be frequent visitors to your site.

Be sure to focus on the topic of your blog, as it is vital, especially if you intend to earn from it.

To succeed, your blog must help your audience; your chosen niche should serve a particular group.

For example, if you want to create an income from your blog, it is crucial to pick a particular niche instead of having a wide range of topics.

Some may think there are too many blogs already; however, the key to finding your success in a competitive market is to find your unique angle:

Choosing a name for your blog

The name you choose is how readers will relate to and remember you and will stick with your blog for a long time.

Choosing the right name is crucial — the right name will make all the difference in how well an audience receives your blog.

It is best to find one that is relatively short and easily remembered; it would be good to target specific keywords, but if it doesn’t, there is no need to worry.

Is USANA MLM Worth Your Time And Money

Is USANA MLM Worth Your Time And Money

I am not a member or an affiliate of Usana; This review is based on research and information available online in the public domain.

Any opinions and conclusions may not apply to all persons or situations. It might be helpful to read other USANA reviews.

What is USANA?

Usana Health Sciences, Inc., or USANA, is an American multi-level marketing company based in West Valley City, Utah. As of 2021,

Usana was the 14th largest multi-level marketing company in the world by revenue. The company manufactures most of its nutritional products, dietary supplements, and skincare products at a West Valley City facility.

Its products sell in 24 countries via a network of independent distributors. Wikipedia

Usana Products

Usana products consist of nutritional products, beauty products, and

As a whole, Usana products divide into 4. categories:

1. Nutritionals
2. Food and Energy
3. Skincare
4. Healthy Living

USANA’s most important product is the CellSentials. According to Usana, these products are designed to work at the cellular level to nourish your cells to make you healthier.

The CellSentials pack contains a 28 days supply of Core Minerals and Vita-Antioxidant, which support brain function, metabolism, and collagen synthesis, and boost your cells’ natural ability to regenerate themselves.

USANA products are available on major e-commerce sites like Amazon, but USANA claims they are not their products and sell products only through their associates.on

Usana Product reviews range from very good and not suitable, to too costly, but this post is about something other than the products; it is about the business aspect; how much can you make from the business opportunity offered, or is it a waste of your time and money?

How do you earn on USANA?

The USAna earning plan gives you 6—ways to make money.

Retail Sales

With the retail sales, you can profit if you buy USANA products at the associate’s preferred price and sell them at retail price. This method  is described as ‘the surest method of earning immediate income..’

usana-associate-income

Weekly Commissions

USANA uses a ‘Binary Compensation Plan,’ which enables associates to earn commission from the activity of others they have recruited into the system.

All the products your recruit purchase contribute to your ‘group sales volume,’ which can potentially earn you a weekly commission check.

The system becomes more attractive when your friends start recruiting their friends because anyone they recruit falls under your team and also earns you group sales volume.

Lifetime Matching Bonus

This income is generated if you sponsor recruits who qualify for one of the USANA pacesetter programs.

A pacesetter is a member who has requited 2. persons, and both order enough product to remain active for 8. weeks, then the recruiter becomes a pacesetter. If the recruiter manages to recruit 4. new members in the first 6. weeks and all of them buy enough product to remain active for 8. weeks, he will be a ‘platinum pacesetter.’

The bonus may range from 2.5% to 15%, depending on whether or not his sponsor is also a pacesetter.

Incentives

If you perform well, You might qualify for extra extras such as travel and prizes. Apart from mentioning that these things might happen, there is no other mention of the incentives. How you qualify, and what exactly they are.

Leadership Bonus

Every week, 3% of all commissionable sales volume is redistributed to associates. There are some rules to qualify for the leadership bonus. Some of them are:

  • You must be ranked Gold Director or higher – this represents less than 1% of all USANA associates
  • Maximize at least one Business Centre During the Week – This occurs when your business center has more than 5,000 Sales Volume Points on both sides. According to the USANA Binary Compensation Plan disclaimer, less than 1% of all associates maxed out a business center during the year.
  • Every four weeks, one associate you sponsored must earn their first commission –

The fact that it is only available to the top 1% of all associates could be more encouraging, as it does not seem realistically obtainable to newcomers.

Elite-Bonus

Every three months, 1% of all commissionable sales is paid to the top 40 income earners as an ‘elite bonus.’  Another 1% of all proceeds go to the people at the network’s top.

.

USANA’s Binary Compensation Plan

This system determines how much USANA associates get paid and what they need to do to earn their income.

You need to know how the compensation plan works to succeed in USANA. Let’s look at the USANA Binary Compensation Plan.

For a new USANA associate to earn a commission, they must activate their business and remain active.

Remaining active is achieved through ‘Personal Sales Volume.’ What this means to get paid, you need to buy a minimum quota of new products every month.

You’ll even get a 10% discount if you buy enough to remain active. You can sign up for auto order; that way, you will surely get a 10% discount.

Like all multi-level marketing systems, your recruiter directly benefits from the product you buy. It is in their best interest to encourage you to buy as much as possible to maximize their earnings.

How Much Does It Cost To Be A USANA Associate?

The cost of being an active USANA associate depends on whether you are running your business around one business center or several. Opening your USANA business with one or three business centers is possible.

Running One Business Center

To activate a single business center, you must order 200 points worth of products. There is a business starter pack that will give you 250 sales value points for a price of US $305.

It comes full of USANA products for you to try, or buy two Essential health packs. This will give you precisely 200 personal sales value points at US $235.

You can also take your time and order products until you reach 200 personal sales volume points.

You must reach 200 personal sales volume points before your business center is active, so you won’t be able to build your business.

Once your business center is activated, you can recruit friends and build your team. To be eligible for commission, you will need to remain active. This involves accumulating 100 personal sales volume points every four weeks for a single business center. This would cost US $117.50 every four weeks, which equates to $1,527.50 per year.

one-business-center

Running Three Business Centers

You can double your potential earnings when joining USANA as a new associate! Who wouldn’t want to double their income?

To double your income, you must accumulate 400 personal sales volume points within the first six Fridays of joining USANA. Purchasing an entrepreneur pack will give you 500 personal sales volume points and cost you US $624.95. Or you can buy four essential health packs for exactly 400 points, which would cost US $470.00

.

How Much Can You Earn With USANA?

.   To earn commission from USANA, you must have at least 125 points of group sales volume on each leg of your business center. You will earn Commission Volume Points equal to 20% of your balanced sales volume. TUSANA-Commision-points

Maximizing a business center will reward you  with a certificate to open a new business center.

Maximizing a business center would require a lot of sales. Your USANA network would team at least US$11,750.00 worth of products in a single week for you to earn the maximum commission.

Very few associates make a profit, and most USANA associates order products to remain active, not because they use or sell them at a retail margin.

Some people will make good money in the MLM business, but those are very few; the majority will lose money.

In his free e-book ‘Multi-Level Marketing Unmasked,’ Jon Taylor found that 99.7% of people will lose money if they join network marketing.

He describes MLM as an ‘unfair and deceptive practice.’  The main problems Dr. Taylor found with the MLM business model are that it relies on continuous recruitment, and most of the rewards for sales are paid to the upline.
