The need for Change:
This morning I woke up and decided I needed to change, the world wasnt going to change for me - I needed to change for the world. I got up and started reading websites that would help me achieve this goal. My friends that were entrepreneurs had suggested free lancing websites might serve as a good way to get challenging work while introducing myself to ways that i could upskill myself and get paid.
I signed up to the following:
I then browsed the work opportunities on each site and found out that by building a profile and selecting some different categories, i.e System administration, Cisco and Data Entry that I would be able to receive notifications direct to my email.
Each opportunity has a bidding section where you post a brief note about what you can do and how much you would like to get paid for the job.
I also started reading up about SEO and Internet marketing. I read that by placing google adsense and amazon ads on your website you can earn money from people buying products or clicking ad links from your site. From my understanding these are called "leads" and if a lead turns into a actual deal then you get money from it.
I.e If you put a book review on your website and someone comes along and reads it and wants to buy the book they click the amazon link and purchase the book then you get a certain % of the sale. Amazon is known to be quite high for their payouts, I spoke to a friend tonight that was making about 4-6% from each resulting sale.
I plan to cover how you add google adsense and amazon ads to your blog in a later post - perhaps in Day Eight or Nine if I have enough time.
