8 tips to help you earn money at home

Many people become jobless in this economic crisis. Are you one of those unfortunate? Though it is not easy to find a new job, you shouldn't just sit around there. Here are some tips that may help if you would like to earn money via internet. Note that it won't make you rich in a short time. How much you can make depends on many factors (e.g. your skill, experience and intelligence).

1. Affiliate Programs
Join an affiliate program like Commission Junction (cj.com) and Shareasale (shareasale.com). Sell goods for vendors to get commissions. You will get paid once a product or service is sold via your affiliate link.
2. Customer Service

4. Tutoring

6. Google Adsense

7. Get paid for taking in Online Surveys
Get paid for sharing your ideas and opinions in online surveys. Make money in monthly drawings just for being a member. Make money in drawings when you fill a short questionnaire. Earn cash every time you complete a survey (a longer questionnaire). Refer to https://www.acop.com/
8. Created PowerPoint Templates
Get paid for creating PowerPoint templates for those who are not familiar with PowerPoint but have to PowerPoint presentation.

As I mentioned in the beginning, there's no shortcut to wealth. You need to take efforts in return for pay. You also need to take it as serious as a real-life job before getting hired again. The harder you work, the more money you will make. I can't ensure that you will earn enough money for basic living. But I think this will make sense to improve your situation.

Caution: Beware of Scams
If you are asked to pay for an opportunity, it may be a scam. Google it to check before paying.

Good luck!
