Jobs Working Online at Home - Legit Online Jobs to Earn Money 

At any one time, there are over 1,000,000,000 (one billion) users surfing the internet. With such astonishing quantities, it would definitely be a good idea to tack in on some of the cash. Making money online is simple, but not easy. Boredom will be a huge factor for in your online success, it is so easy to get tired of repeating the same old thing multiple times.  If working online at home was a package being sold on eBay, the description would look like this:
  • Simple, casual work from the computer.
  • Money pouring into your online account.
  • Extra income and cash from promotions and the snowball effect.
  • Cash being generated on "autopilot" while you sleep.
Okay, Internet Marketing might be all those things, but that is only if you succeed. This might be the description of the package, but inside your are really going to find:
  • Spending countless hours staring at a computer screen.
  • Being unable to drive any traffic to your website (if you have one).
  • Working for a simple online job, spending countless hours without seeing any results.
Not to discourage you, but over 90% of attempted Internet Marketers fail. Nevertheless, you can be one of those 10% who succeed. By following the right guides, researching the right topics, and preforming the right tasks, your chances amply increase that you will hit the bulls-eye and be rewarded with profits. This article will allow you to see your options.  First, I will assume that by you are looking for a simple online job, without a website or blog of your own. There are tons of uncomplicated, plain jobs for you to look at:
  1. Take customer surveys. Customer satisfaction is becoming more and more important for every business, online and off. Organizations are asking regular citizens like you for their valued opinion. If you are interested in online surveys, I might recommend surveyclub.com.
  2. Read emails. Okay, this may sound easy, but do not be easily beguiled. You will not get paid as much as you might hope, and you will be expected to spread these emails to your friends. If you are interested in email marketing, I might recommend getpaid5times.com.
  3. Click on ads. You can get paid a lot....or not so much for clicking on ads. You will probably generate a total of about $0.01 for every ad you click on. However, a system I have found called bux.to has a rather interesting system. It offers your $0.01 for each ad you click on, and every ad your referrals click on. If another person sign up to the system through your link, they become your referral.
These jobs are very time consuming, and the pay is not always constant. If you are more interested in starting your own type of business, follow these next steps. I recommend choosing to start your own business because there is a lot more room for improvement than with a simple job. Furthermore, succeeding with your own Internet Marketing business will cause a huge snowball effect, and money will roll in faster than ever.
You do not necessarily need any Internet Marketing tools to get started online. All you need is your knowledge, access to the internet, and a keyboard. Without further delay, let's get started.
Affiliating
Affiliating is a method to create income that almost every beginner uses. Why? Because it's simple, and free to start. Affiliates are people who sell products that are not their own. There are several online affiliate programs, but the best affiliate program is Clickbank. Follow these steps to get started with Clickbank:

SEO and PPC - Generating Leads With These Internet Marketing Strategies

Good websites are created to do one simple thing, and that is to capture leads. More times than not websites do not have enough traffic to drive leads to it. Successful internet marketers have discovered the secret to driving traffic to a good lead capturing website. The secret lies in utilizing PPC and SEO to their fullest potential. Even though pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO) marketing are strikingly different, they both offer similar results.
Advantages of PPC -
Users can now get instantaneous results using paid advertising, thanks to the top search engines on the internet. PPC is also known as pay-per-click because it is basically paid advertising. No other form of internet advertising offers faster results for online marketers. A PPC campaign can be up and running literally within a few minutes. This form of advertising allows the marketer to know exactly which keywords yield the best results based on the number of clicks that an ad receives. Once set up the ads are distributed all throughout the web ready to entice visitors to the destination website.

PPC marketing is just as much an art as it is a science. Successful online marketers spend a great deal of time learning the technical/science of proper keyword selection for their PPC campaigns. Tools such as freekeywords.wordtracker.com and adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal supply the information for lead generating keywords. Once this science of attracting potential leads has been established, the next step is to get these clicks to convert into actual leads. This is where the art of the message in the PPC ad begins to shine. In order for the PPC ad to lure potential customers, it must elicit some sort of desire in its compelling message. For example, Perry Marshall is noted for creating desire in his ads by saying the following. "Nobody who bought a drill actually wanted a drill. They wanted a hole. Therefore if one wants to sell drills, they should advertise information about making holes - NOT INFORMATION ABOUT DRILLS."
Advantages of SEO -
Top search engines like Yahoo and Google are friendly to internet marketers that are patient enough to learn SEO. Search engine optimization is a little bit trickier than PPC but once mastered can product longer lasting results. As with PPC, SEO also generates traffic based on a single word, combination of words or word phrases. SEO rankings depend on two main criteria: (1) keywords and (2) competition for those keywords. Experience has shown that the first search term (i.e. meta tag) to get optimized is often times the first listing (non paid advertisement) on the search engine results page. It is also apparent that seniority plays a large role in the search result outcomes. At least that is how Google favors certain search terms.
PPC or SEO -
No one can say which is better; however, the lead generating results from PPC have proven to be faster than SEO. Another advantage to PPC is that it can help a website get optimized by providing back links to it (thus enhancing its SEO capability). On the other hand, SEO costs the online marketer nothing but time and "know how" to get high first page rankings. And SEO remains on the page for as long as the search engine will allow it to be there.
