Make Money At Home! Zazzle!

I have been making my entire

income

from the internet, since 2005.

One of the ways I contribute to

my household funds is through Zazzle.

This is one of the mugs that I offer

through one of my three

Zazzle shops.

You don't have to be an artist to be able to take advantage

of this Free Site.

You just need an email address..

and a little imagination doesn't hurt either.

If you have some clever sayings

that you would like to see on T-Shirts..

if you have some doodles

that you think would look great on magnets or mugs..

if you have some photographs

that would make great greeting cards...

...whatever you think would make a great design...

you can put it together

and offer it for sale

on Zazzle..

for

FREE!

They have recently added a wonderful new

feature that allows you

to make hundreds of products in as little as an hour.

If you can't figure it out...

drop me a note and I will walk you through it!

I really am selling hundreds of products a month...

through my three shops..

and that is doing it on a very part-time basis.

Things I've Learned!

I'm glad I decided to do this blog...I'll admit I thought

it was a little 'ballsy' of me, since this blog is

about 'how to make money online', using methods

I haven't used before.

In my 'quest' to do this, I have run across

some of the best information to help me to know

what I should do...and what I should NOT do.

I wrote a 'warning' post yesterday, about a site I

found through an email I received. I might not have

researched the site...until it was too late...had it not

been for the information I've found while looking
for resources for my blog posts and for some 'minor' charges

that came back to "bite me", though, thankfully, not for an amount

that would make or break me.

To recap what I've

presented thus far...

oDesk...a work at home job source.

(To date...it has now been a couple of months since signing...

I have not only NOT worked one job,

I haven't even received an invite to interview for a job.

*I did receive one invite...it seemed a bit odd though...as I had

not yet taken the tests that were required for me to

be considered a candidate for any position.*

Since, taking the tests and applying for numerous positions,

I have yet to get an interview.)

oDesk is not high on my list of valid

'work-at-home-opportunities'.

I signed up with Associated Content

to write articles for them.

I have written 6 articles,

this is the only article for which I received

upfront payment---though not a lot...it was something!

I am accumlating 'pennies' on my other

articles, depending upon how many people 'find' my

articles.

This is my most 'popular' article..for hits...

and I've made almost as much for this piece as I did

for my 'paid' piece. Just a few more hits should do it.

I'm surprised at how much I've made, just letting

people find the articles without any promotion..

I'm about to begin promoting...

we'll see what kind of hits I get

as a result.

Another 'opportunity' I'm reluctant to pursue is..

'Project Payday'.

I'm just too 'sketched-out' by anything

that I have to give a credit card number to..

and then,

I have to remember to 'cancel my order/ subscription/ etc'

before I am charged for something I really don't want.

I know the people who belong to the site

do seem to like it, I just have a problem with the

way it works.

Now..about Clickbank.

I signed up in October...

I've only 'promoted' two of their products

to date..and..my earnings are 0.

True, I don't 'promote' like those

that are really 'into' Clickbank and write

all kinds of blogs, lenses...etc..

to promote each different product. I'm considering

finding a product that I'm really 'in' to...and see

if I can be more aggressive in promoting..I'll

let you know how that works out.

I've received a little payout from one of

the survey sites that I've tried.

But, I've done about 35 surveys to make $5.00...

I'd probably get more 'pay' if I would

complete those that 'credit card is required'

but, I WON'T do those..Just not going to

take any chances with my

fragile finances.

I'll be getting my payment from Zazzle

any day now. They show they've sent it but,

it takes about 7 to 10 days to appear in my

PayPal.

This was the first time...in the 4 years I've belonged..

that I've made a 'performance' bonus..which boosted

my payout by almost 25%.

My Etsy sales were pretty good at year's end..

with the New Year though...things

have plummeted...

I'm currently looking for

new ways to market these sites...

I need the sales.
