Home Based How To

Rather than being able to simply click a link in an email to read the paid email from InBox Dollars (which is very simple!), with H4P you have to go a page, log in and sit and wait for messages to load, then read them, then wait sometimes 5 minutes for thecredit for reading the paid email before you can read the next one.

I’ve decided this is simply too much of a hassle when trying to make money reading email, so I can no longer recommend Hits4Pay (notice the lack of referral links!) and instead must give my whole-hearted support to InBoxDollars! I would seriously advise you readers to check them out!

The whole process has been quite a learing curve for everyone involved. Ryan has spent countless hours trying to get the various settings figured out to actually run the equipment, and I’ve managed to learn the Joomla! Content Management System basically from scratch. Joomla! is a great platform to use, but to call the learning curve steep is an understatement- I would go with vertical! Having said that, it was the right choice to use for building the website and online store, and very much worth the time investment to learn it.

This is another similar program to href="http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=greg716" rel="nofollow">Inbox Dollars, in that you get paid to read email. The name of this program is Hits4Pay. The signup and account setup is very simple, and you get a $10 bonus for signing up through HomeBasedHowTo! The process itself is also quite simple. You’re notified via your regular email service whenever there is a paid email in your inbox at Hits4Pay. You simply click a link in the email you get at your regular inbox and it takes you to your paid email inbox at Hits4Pay. You read the email, click a link for verification purposes, make a few cents and you’re done!

Also similar to Inbox Dollars, they offer an affiliate program whereby you sign up people underneath you and earn a percentage of the money they make reading emails.

Hits4Pay seems to pay out a little better for reading the emails than does Inbox Dollars, but they don’t offer the other incentivized offers than Inbox Dollars does. All the same, a few cents here and a few cents there can really add up over time, and when you start adding small money to small money, soon enough you get bigger money. Money that can be used for things like a paid hosting account- I recommend ebound hosting by the way. Denis and his guys are great! It can also be money you save up to spend on an autoresponder- more about that later also. You can use the money from reading emails to buy a good ebook with information on how to make even more money online- more on this later also!

The point is this- I said I was going to walk you through legitimate ways to make money online, and that’s what we’re going to do, and have been doing. Home based business isn’t always a simple thing when you’re starting out. There are many many different ways to make money using the internet, and there can be a very steep learning curve. My goal here is to help you out as much as I can to avoid some of the pitfalls, keep you from wasting money on things that don’t work, and focus on honest ways to make money online.

Now for all those links on the far right hand side of this page, let me explain. They are part of a traffic-trading program called The Traffic Link. If you want to learn more, you can click here- by the way this one isn’t an affiliate link! Basically, the program is a simple traffic-trading script that generates 3-way or a-b-c link trades among participants. A simple link trade, called a 2-way trade or an a-b trade, is where site a links to site b, and site b links back to site a. The 3-way, or a-b-c trade is where site a links to site b, and site c links back to site a. The reasoning behind the a-b-c trade it is that Google sees a two-way or a-b link as a “trade”, and that has less value toward increasing your site’s PageRank than does a one-way link. And a 3-way or a-b-c link is seen by the Google spiders as two separate one-way links. And when we look at ways to increase the PageRank, and eventually
get your site seen as more relevant to Google and therefore get listed higher on the natural search results and make millions and retire early, a good linking structure is a very important part of that. But bear in mind, PageRank is but one of some 200 factors that the Googlebots look at when determining
search results, so PageRank is not the be-all end-all of a website. There is some good information on what the Google webmasters have to say about PageRank, and I’d highly recommend you read it here. This one here is my personal favorite.

So now that I have seemingly contradicted myself in terms of PageRank- what to do? The purpose of all those links over there are to try to “impress” the GoogleBots and increase my rankings with The Almighty Google. But they are a MASSIVE traffic leak, and no source of income whatsoever. The jury is still out on whether they stay or go, and today I’m leaning towards go. But I have yet to make up my mind entirely, we will wait and see if they are doing more harm than good. I am watching very carefully at Google WebMaster Tools, and there will be a decision coming very soon.

The moral of the story is to build a good website that is useful to visitors, update it frequently with unique content, get links from relevant sites and link to relevant sites, and leave the rest of it up to the Google algorithms. A friend on a message board that I frequent said it best, “The way to make
Google think you have the best ____ site on the Web is to get up off your ass and actually build the best ____ site on the Web!”
