1. News

Welcome to the latest issue of the Homeworking Ideas newsletter, the monthly publication which gives you all the latest international news on ways of earning money from home.

New Advertising Opportunity
If for any reason Google Adsense isn't appropriate for your site, now there's a new alternative, Widget Bucks. Instead of just simply offering a list of text ads or banners WidgetBucks offers a range of interactive ads which can be personalised with a range of skins. Depending on the theme of your site you can choose between shopping widgets which show relevant products for your visitors to buy; local widgets which show your users relevant, real-time local content, such as weather, gas prices, top local businesses and restaurants (see an example on the menu column of this page) or travel widgets which show real-time travel deals based on your user's origin. Text ads will also shortly be available. The ads dynamically cycle through a list of products, rather than showing a static ad that only changes with a page refresh increasing the chance of a reaction from your site visitors.

With WidgetBucks, your income structure is based on pay-per-click, where you are paid for each click made on an ad by a legitimate website visitor. You do not earn anything for conversions, or products sold as a result of those clicks. Also, don't even think of clicking your own ads - like any other publisher program, this will throw a red flag in the air. The network focuses exclusively on small and mid-sized publishers so you don't need to worry about not having a sufficiently active blog or website. Join now and you'll get a $25 sign-up bonus.

Targeted Advertising
If you've ever considered affiliate marketing you've probably noticed that many opportunities, particularly those that pay per lead are only relevant to US or UK residents. This can make it difficult if your site or advertising attracts visitors from around the world. This month I've come across a new rotator that gets around this problem but allowing you to target the sites your visitors are directed to. Just choose which site to send visitors from each country/continent and any that don't apply will be sent to a default alternative. of course you can also use it to target visitors to your own site.

The 6 Links System Website
The problem with most free advertising is that it is either very time consuming or ineffective with no-one paying attention to your ad and very few even visiting the site you're trying to promote. This month I've come across a new method that might just get around these problems. Entitled "The 6 Links System Website" it works a little like a chain letter in that your site starts in 6th place on a list of sites to visit and gradually moves up to 1st place as more people join the program.

What makes it particularly effective is that no-one can even join the program without viewing the 6 listed sites so even if they simply join up and never do anything more, they will have still seen your site. The viral effects of this type of program means that you only need to sign up a few people yourself for your site to be seen by thousands of people. For example, if you were able to get 10 active members to join, who all then recruited 10 more and so on, you would have 1 million people visiting your site by the time it reached the top of the list. Of course, the more people you can get to join the program, the greater the chance of finding active members to keep your ad visible, but even if you can only sign up 2 new members that's still 2 more people out there promoting your site for you and who knows, one of them may be really successful at driving traffic to your site.

The Kickstart Course
The problem with most business guides is that the sheer volume of information you need to absorb can be so daunting that you never actually get started. The Kickstart Course gets around this problem by serving it up to you in bitesize portions every week for a year with an assignment to complete each week to keep you focused. Luckily however, you don't need to wait until you complete the course to start earning as it has been set up to get you earning within 6 weeks.

With virtually non-existent set-up fees, every single step is explained right down to the tiniest detail, and presented so simply that even the newest of 'newbies' can follow every step with ease. The Kickstart Course is a 100% self-contained, step by step tutorial on how to set up your own unique online business, showing you exactly how to start your own internet marketing income, from scratch, even if you've no experience at all.

Each lesson is written so that you can follow it from A-Z and be ready to move on with the next part of your business one week later. Most people will be working for an employer while they build their business so it's geared around you having enough time. Unlike too many full-time internet marketers who seem to think you can find an extra 20 hours a week on top of your job to put into your business, the authors of this course been through everything you're about to start with and know exactly how hard it can be, so they've allowed you plenty of time while at the same time let you see results as early as possible. The course has been designed so that once your business is up, running and bringing you an income, it can be run in just a few hours a week whether you want to quit your job or not.

Each lesson is 2-5 pages long and contains nothing but 'meat'. As information overload can be a major problem for many people, they've made sure the information is provided in easy to digest lessons that you can read then put into practice.

Each lesson tells you what you need to do so you're ready to move on to the next instalment when it arrives in 7 days. Written in easy to implement steps, this is one of the key points of the course, and is designed to maximize success rates.

Beginners won't get lost with the course, and more experienced marketers won't get bored as the course combines bedrock 'how to' internet marketing fundamentals with advanced techniques

How To Beat Recession
There can hardly be anyone in this country who isn't affected in some way by the current recession. Whilst most of us have lived through at least one recession already, this one looks likely to be deeper and longer than any in living memory. To help minimise the impact, UK Member of Parliament and successful Internet entrepreneur Michael Green has written a short guide entitled "How To Beat Recession" which contains 101 'Must Have' Recession-Busting Hints & Tips'. Even if you think your job is safe, there are several useful tips and if you think your job may be at risk there's a chapter on recession-proofing yourself, with tips on recesssion-proof careers, as well as sections on increasing your income and cutting your expenditure.
