Work at Home Businesses in a Failing Economy

Have last week’s developments with the US economy got you feeling spooked?

I don’t blame you! What with the country’s second-largest bank collapse PLUS a government bailout of Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac happening in the same WEEK, it’s hard to know what to expect next!

If you’re like the other small business owners I know, I’m willing to bet that, right this minute, you’re on the fence about whether you should continue to invest in the tools and help you need to start your Internet business… or whether it’s better to save your cash until things stabilize a bit.

And that’s actually why I’m firing off this hasty blog post…

… because I’ve just learned about a way you can do BOTH, as long as you act right away!

A few months ago, Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl unleashed a powerful business-building system that gives you all the tools and assistance you need to start a completely automated, hands-free Internet business from SCRATCH, including the website, a salesletter, an online payment system, endless streams of traffic, and help getting it all set up.

He named it “BeBiz,” and since its release, it’s gone on to become the most simple yet comprehensive way for “newbies” to go from zero to online profits in as short a time span as possible (often in as little as 5 days!).

Well, I just became aware that, in order to give as many people as possible a leg up during this volatile economy, he’s going to WAIVE the entire $177 BeBiz start-up fee for new members!

Unfortunately, there’s a catch…

Due to the amount of money he could potentially lose with this offer, he can only make it available to the next 200 people who get in touch with him…

… so I urge you to follow this link contact him right away:

Internet Home Business Start Up

Trust me: you do NOT want to let this opportunity pass you by!

Where ELSE will you get a professional-looking sales website that could have you earning profits by this time next month (along with an Internet marketing genius looking over your shoulder and guiding you as you set it up)?

Best wishes for your business,

Mal

P.S. During the initial BeBiz launch, Derek made 250 spots available, and they were all snapped up in mere hours — and that was WITH the regular $177 start-up fee — so you can just imagine how fast these 200 spots with NO start-up fees are going to go.

A Simple and Free Way to Hide Your Affiliate Links

Protect and Spruce Up Your Affiliate Marketing Links

I just received an email from Patrick – a member of my list – asking how he could easily cloak affiliate URLs.

There are scripts that you can buy to automate this process and make a great job of stopping buyers stealing your affiliate commissions.

Stealing affiliate commissions can be done by simply finding the affiliate URL and substituting your own affiliate id in place of the affiliate who’s link you have clicked on.

My take on this is that you may not need to cloak your links unless the majority of your web traffic are people who would even think about stealing commissions or have the faintest clue how to do it.

If you are marketing to Internet marketers then there is a big chance they are going to be clued in enough to swap affiliate links before they buy your recommendation, this depriving you of the affiliate commission.

However, outside of the ‘Internet marketing’ niche and maybe a handful of other niches, few people would have the knowledge to either change your link to their own affiliate link or remove the affiliate link and replace with the main domain name. Doing this would access the product/service directly, and you would lose your commission in the process.

Let me tell you, if someone is determined to do you out of an affiliate commission then they WILL find a way no matter how many precautions you have taken. No point worrying about it!

The main reason I cloak my links is because I think a cloaked link looks much better in an email than the usual affiliate link.

Another area where you would be advised to add a redirect link in in your article resource box when article marketing. Some article directories won’t allow affiliate links in ANY form.

So, if the article directory editor clicks the link it won’t be approved. Even with these directories though, you have a much better chance of passing the directory moderators if the link isn’t so recognisable as an affiliate link.

Getting to the point of this post – Here’s How to hide affiliate links?

Below is a free and simple way you can do this which basically redirects from a file on your web server to your affiliate sales page.

It won’t hide the affiliate link when users click on it but it will look better in your resource box or email marketing campaigns. You can change the link that it redirects too at anytime – which is always good for the future when you may want to change the link for whatever reason.

I have found this useful when I place links in download files. If you put your redirect link in these files then you can change the target link on your server, for example if you were no longer promoting a particular company OR they have gone out of business.

The URL below is a link to one of my affiliate products(If you click on it it will redirect to my affiliate link and I will get credited for any purchases at this link).:
http://www.freeadvertz.com/recommends/keywordelite.html

The ‘recommends’ part is simply a folder on my server called ‘recommends’ into which I copy all my cloaked affiliate links.

I then create a file called keywordelite.html and uploaded it to the ‘recommends’ folder.

Here is the code you need to create the file:

<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!–
window.location.replace(’YOURAFFILIATELINK’);
//–>
</script>
</body>
</html>

You would obviously replace the ‘YOURAFFILIATELINK’ text above with your own affiliate link for whichever program or product you are selling.

Copy the above code to a notepad file – Save to your desktop as YOURCHOSENFILENAME.html (ie. keywordelite.html) – Upload the file to your server in a folder of your choice or to the root folder. If you save the file to the root folder then the redirect would be located at www.YOURDOMAIN.com/YOURCHOSENFILENAME.html (ie. www.freeadvertz.com/keywordelite.html)

That’s it! Now when you send an affiliate link in your email or on another website then it will look like the page is on your server. This is much more professional than sending out affiliate links unaltered.

If you are still interested in stopping your commissions being stolen, and looking for a REALLY POWERFUL way to cloak your links – more than a simple redirect – then you could opt to buy a script or software to do the job for you. If that is the case I can recommend the one below. It’s very affordable and will professionally cloak all your affiliate links:

Affiliate Link Cloaker

The Php link cloaker also has a handy link tracker to track your link clicks, as part of the package. Test it all out at the link above.

Reputable Work at Home Businesses

I am often asked via email just how easy it is to setup and run a reputable online home business, from serious minded individuals who just don’t believe that it is possible at all.

Invariably these enquiries come from people who have been at the receiving end of one or more online scams.

It is important to realize that although there are many scam opportunities in the world of internet business, that you can’t label every enterprise as such.

Like any endeavor that you set out to get involved with, there will be right and wrong ways of going about it.

It is extremely important that if you are interested in setting up a serious home business that you do the research required to make sure you aren’t gonna be scammed. There are many ways you can do this. I would suggest that the easiest method is to check out online discussion forums related to internet marketing and home business. One of my favourties can be found at the link below:
The Warrior Forum

Many of the most famous names in internet marketing frequent the above discussion board. You can also find countless ways to make money online there and more importantly find numerous others who have been successful before you.

There are also loads of articles and free resources that you can visit before ever making a decision or forking out any cash. The only way you can be scammed is if you jump in with both feet without doing your due diligence. Scammers depend on you being ignorant of the facts.

It IS entirely possible to make a good living online or maybe even hit the big time but it won’t happen overnight Yeah, that’s right! If you are going to succeed it will take hard work, persistence and a business plan. You will also need online tutoring and support.

Easy Home Based Business Opportunities

Setting up a home based business is so easy and straight-forward that it amazes me that more people are not doing it.

An online business is basically web hosting a domain name and a script or web content to run your site. You could be setup within 24 hrs if you really wanted to.

You can even earn money online even if you don’t own your own product or service. This is known as affiliate marketing. It is possible to signup for 100s or 1000s of affiliate programs online and although you don’t want to sign up for them all, there are many with which you can make a very good living.

When you sign up for an affiliate program you become an agent for a product or service owner. You then make commissions on any sales you make. The commission you earn will be higher or lower depending on the product or service. I have sold products with as much as 75% commission. Digital products tend to offer higher commission because there is little to no cost for the merchat to sell such a product giving him 100% profit once the product has been created.

There are other numerous work at home ideas online which you can join to make a full-time income.

Saying that it is easy to get setup online doesn’t mean that it is going to be so simple to actually make it a full-time concern. The most difficult part of running a successful online business is marketing your product or service. So, it is important that you get proper support and training when signing up for ANY program.

You don’t actually need to have a product of your own. I earn a living online by selling other marketers products. This is known as affiliate marketing. There is a lot of money to be made online from joining affiliate programs and selling such products and services.
