From: Ed Zivkovic

Make Money At Home Idea

Each of the following strategies do make money. The mistake people make is to try one for a few days or weeks then give up after they discover they did not get rich quick.

Quitters never win and winners never quit. Scattering your energy into more than one project will produce little or no results.

Free Paid Surveys

Free paid surveys can provide a source of immediate cash flow.

Paid surveys do have their limitations though. One big drawback is that we have to continue to do surveys in order to make money. If we stop doing the the surveys, the money stops too. The other drawback is finding the right surveys to do in order to make lots of money.

Be careful when selecting a paid surveys program.

Make sure it is a real program which does not charge money to join up. There are places on the Internet which pose as a paid survey company but all they want us to do is pay a fee in order to gain access to all the survey companies.

There is nothing actually wrong with paying a membership fee to access a database of paid survey companies, but as long as people are aware that real paid survey companies usually do not charge for the right to participate.

Also, be on the lookout for surveys that do not pay real money. Each survey company offers many different types of surveys with a variety of different payout methods. Some surveys pay in credits and points which are redeemable for products while others pay cash.

Online Auctions

44.3 billion earned on eBay in 2005

eBay.com is the best Online auction to start selling stuff because it has millions of users browsing all the categories looking for things to buy. Thousands of people now make a full time living selling stuff at Online auctions like eBay, and eBay power sellers are reported to be making over $100,000 per month.

is another popular online auction with millions of buyers. Their mission is to become the # 1 trusted online auction source.

What To Sell

Just browse all the different categories at uBid.com and eBay.com and see what others are selling. If certain sellers continue to sell similar items week after week, month after month, this is a clue as to what is selling.

Many people sell their own items. They find different ways of buying merchandise for a low wholesale price and then sell it at action for a profit. After the item is sold, they post the item to the purchaser.

eBay Cash Machine is a service which provides auction training and can connect you with over 250,000 wholesale products.

Drop-Shipping

Many people use drop-shipping to deliver the products. The advantage of this method is that they never stock any inventory and are not involved in the product delivery phase.

They sell the item for a profit and receive payment. Then they take out their cut. Then they pay the wholesale price to the drop shipper. The drop shipper then delivers the item.

The biggest disadvantage with drop-shipping is that you might sell an item which means you also got paid for the item but for some reason the drop-shipper cannot supply the item.

This can get messy because you have to return the money and you might get some negative feedback which is not a good thing. This happens more often than people let you know about. A guaranteed source of supply is essential if you want to go ahead with this deal.

eBooks and Software

Some people like to sell products that can be delivered by email or a download page. This means that they do not have to pack or post anything. Examples of these kinds of products include eBooks and software.

Accept Credit Cards and Get Paid with PayPal

PayPal is a service which allows eBay sellers to accept payments Online. Sign up is Free. It is a lot easier to make a sale at an Online action if we have a way to accept credit cards. The good thing about PayPal is that it allows users to accept credit cards without a merchant account.

There is no need to be an auction seller to accept payments with this method. For example, PayPal can be used to accept payment from a web site which sells eBooks, software or a subscription based service.

Also, some survey companies might like to pay us into our PayPal account, so it is a good idea to sign up for a Free account.
