Job Situation

A quick update I think at last I have finally got another job and with it more salary. No where near to what I was enjoying however a step in the right direction.

I will find out more nice week.

Job Situation

Could be in line for a new position tomorrow. I suppose I should remain positive over the whole thing I could be in for a shock.

I have serious started to look at selling stuff on e-bay. I have some old stuff to sell just to get started I have signed up to a couple of e-magazines in relation to selling on e-bay. The only situation I see is once again you need some sort of float to purchase some goods to sell to take you to the next level.

Job Situation

Another day and still non the wiser I am at a loss what to do next I try to remain positive however it is becoming a struggle and to make matters worse my competition wins as explained in my other blog have dried up as well.

Hopefully as I have stated on my other site the mystery shopper is slowing making moves however it will never be a true second income position. A nice steady income say of $100 a month no more that is unless I can spend more time doing it.

Job Situation

I have had problems with my PC this week. Everything is now ok. The job situation just drags on and there seems to be no solution. The unions are in constant conversation with management and human resources without any results.

It is now that I wish that I could win the lottery. So I can turn round to them all and say thanks for the last 6 months of nothing.

I am constantly looking for new opportunities in respect of alternative employment and working/ web based working. On the internet marketing side everything I look at lately involves an influx of money/capital something that after six months of reduced salary now really biting hard is out of the question.

I know the old age saying of speculate to accumulate however its hard when you have nothing to start off from.

Job Situation

Nothing new on the job situation. Another week gone by and all I seem to get from management is that they are awaiting to speak to someone else to discuss the case.

All my friends who work in different occupations some work in HR in other companies are convinced that my present employer wants me out. I will not give them the satisfaction in handing in my notice. If they give me job that meets me half way so therefore I know how much I will be paid every month. I will find alternative employment. It's not that I looking for other employment at the moment it's just want my pound of flesh.

They could also pay me off but that will not happen as I have mentioned in one of my previous posts.

I am looking at adding ebay to my list of alternative ways of earning some cash. The mystery shopper thing has so far been a success. See my other blog for further details.

Affilaite Marketing

This is a great article.

Affiliate marketing on the Internet is possibly one of the
most lucrative means to making money there is.

Of course, you need a certain amount of knowledge in order to
make large commission checks.

The money will not start flowing in until you lay the groundwork
for your success.

This article is going to reveal four effective methods in setting
the groundwork for selling large amounts of affiliate products
without hassle.

- Start with great content.

Your website should offer content that is both relevant and
useful to your target market.

This will automatically inspire trust and respect with visitors.
This first step is critical. If you have a site that you
hastily throw together in order to make a buck, then you are
better off not getting involved in affiliate marketing.

People need to feel that you are respectable, trustworthy,
and able before they will listen to your suggestions. Your
content should prove your knowledge and experience and be of
great value to your visitors.

- Insert a soft sell of one or two affiliate products in the
course of your content.

A soft sell is exactly what it sounds like:

To softly, passively promote a product. You should avoid
sales pitch style promoting at all costs. This will turn people
off and make them want to leave your site.

Here's an example.

Let's say your content is about lawn care, and you are marketing
a fertilizer that does wonders for lawns. During the course
of your well-written content all you have to do is mention
the product and say that it has done great things for you.

That's it.

Anything else and you are getting into a sales pitch. Simply
insert a quick blurb about the product in an appropriate part
of your content and provide a link to the company that produces it.

- Promote at least three affiliate products at once.

It is important to diversify your affiliate products.

This ensures a much more stable income, because it is
produced by multiple sources. It is never a good idea to
put all of your efforts into promoting a single product.

This leaves you very vulnerable. If only one product is
bringing in your entire income what happens if the company
suddenly goes under or cuts the commission payouts in half?

It would be disastrous to your cash flow. You would be
left seeking out a new product and a new marketing scheme
for it. This can be very difficult, especially if your
whole site was geared toward promoting that one product.

If on the other hand, you have three or more affiliate
products regularly bringing in income it wouldn't be
near as big a concern if one of the companies went out of
business or cut down their payouts.

- Create a viral ebook loaded with affiliate links.

A viral ebook is basically a free ebook that is spread by
word of mouth. Viral ebooks are a great way to market
affiliate products. Suppose you create a viral ebook about
how to start an Internet business.

Place affiliate links throughout the book. There could be a
link to an autoresponder company, a web hosting company, and
anything else an Internet marketer would need to start a business.

If anybody clicks on the links within the book and buys one
of the products, you get a commission.

Everyone wins.

The person reading the book gets set up with great services,
the companies you promote get more business, and you make
loads of affiliate commissions. Viral ebooks can also help
to generate a lot of fresh traffic to your website.


Use these tactics above and no one will be able to stop you
from becoming successful in affiliate marketing.

Job Situation

Still no news on the job front. After being told that everything was in order and a decision should be reached by Monday midday, every one who can give the union an answer has suddenly bee transfered to Mars.

I have been successful in being accepted as a mystery shopper. I see this as a success and all I have to do is start earning. I will not not set big targets however any monies earned will be a step in the right direction.
