1. News
Welcome to the latest issue of the Homeworking Ideas newsletter, the monthly publication which gives you all the latest news from the UK on ways of earning money from home.
Recommended Survey Panels
QNA Surveys - Whilst not available to everyone, if you're an IT or Business professional in any business sectors (includes most people running their own business) one site I'd strongly recommend is QNA. Once you join QNA, every survey you take earns a financial reward. You can either collect it personally in the form of Amazon or Virgin vouchers or donate it to one of their partner charities. Unlike other sites where you might wait weeks for payments, you can expect to receive your Amazon vouchers within an hour of completion (working hours only) with Virgin vouchers being posted out to you the next day! The one I completed yesterday has already paid me £5 and took no more than a couple of minutes to complete.
An online survey will carry an incentive of £5 or £10 (the typical online survey will be worth £10) with telephone surveys paying £5 to £10 and face-to-face interviews or focus groups offering a reward of £25 to £75
As a member your name is placed in the QNA Monthly Draw - whether you have completed a survey in that month or not. The prize is usually a typical "must-have" techno-gadget such as the latest iPod.

IPSOS - One of the longest established and leading market research organisations, IPSOS is is one of the top 10 market research companies worldwide. Their internet division Ipsos Access Panel, is now well established in Europe with offices in France, UK, Germany and Italy, but seems to have gone into overdrive recently as I'm currently receiving invitations from them every day. Depending on the length and the difficulty of the survey you will typically earn anything from 10-200 points per survey, and unusually, if you take part in a survey but do not complete it because your profile does not meet the profile they have been looking for, you will still receive 10 points. You can cash out at just 350 points with your choice from a range of high street and leisure vouchers or save up and get higher value vouchers for proportionally fewer points eg a £10 voucher for fewer points than 4 £2 vouchers. IPSOS are also pretty good for product testing assignments.
What I particularly like about this one is that if you provide them with details of all the members of your family you'll increase your chance of getting invitations as they'll send you invitations to pass onto the most appropriate person.

Honey Jewellery
This month I've come across a new business opportunity just launching in the UK that I'm very impressed with. Although new to the UK, Honey has been established in South Africa for 15 years and now turns over 13 Million pounds a year there.
Honey sells a fashion jewellery range through a network of agents. It can be sold in a party plan model, retailing, or just by sending customers straight to their webstore. In addition to the usual rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings etc. you'll also find watches, handbags and gift ideas.
As an affiliate you can earn 20% on every sale, plus 5% on any sales that your customers might themselves make by becoming a Honey affiliate.
The products themselves are very good; fashionable, high quality and inexpensive. Some affiliates have told me that the product sells itself as they've been wearing the jewellery and people have come up to them and asked them where they got it from!
Even if you don't want to earn any extra money each month, it really is worth a look for your own use or gift ideas. They've got a great 30% discount offer on till the 20th June. Once you've registered, just use the coupon code "affdisc" on the shopping cart to grab the discount! After the 20th the coupon code will be "affdisc20" for a 20% discount.

4. Featured FreebiesBanner Rotator
If you're looking to promote more than one website or affiliate program, you've probably considered using rotation pages
so that a single link is promoting more than one site. Up until now though I'd never found a similar option to make the
most of banner advertising meaning I could only ever advertise one product at a time on traffic exchanges, and PTC sites.
And of course, no sooner have you set up a campaign and allocated credits,
you can be sure you'll receive an e-mail saying that particular campaign has just been terminated or suspended.
Finally, a banner rotator has been launched which is not only free but extremely easy to use and requires no programming skills. With the Banner Keyring, you can put all of your banners on a single rotator and get a single image URL and link URL to use in all of your banner advertising campaigns. No more logging in to ten traffic exchanges every time you need to change a banner -- just log in at Banner Keyring, change it once, and the new banner starts rotating at every traffic exchange or banner advertising campaign you use.
To make it even easier to promote your banners, they also offer an advertising co-op in Banner Keyring. By purchasing a co-op spot, your banners will be rotated in all of the top traffic exchanges without you ever having to log in to a single one.
Banner Keyring is totally free, so you have no excuse not to go check it out right now. Since Banner Keyring is brand new, there are all sorts of great deals and special offers available inside the members' area, but these may not be available for long. Full details are available from http://www.homeworkinguk.com/keyring.htm
BananaLotto
In the past I've mentioned one of my favourite free lotto sites, Kingolotto
, from which I've already won a few
prizes so this month I was pleased to discover that BananaLotto have now launched a similar lotto site. You still
get 10 free tickets a day, you still get points for matching 1 to 4 numbers, exchangeable for a similar range
of prizes, but for matching 5 or more numbers you can win between £10 and £100,000 in cash. My luck seems to
be similar to that of Kingolotto in that I'm likely to be able to claim a small prize every month or a bigger
prize (DVD, electronic game, MP3 etc) by saving up points, but the potential of a huge prize is a great
incentive to keep playing every day. Visit http://www.homeworkinguk.com/banana.htm to find out more.
This month I've asked subscriber Michelle Oliver to let us have an update on her experiences with FM Group. Here's her report:
FM Group
Everyone Loves Perfume by Michelle Oliver
Do you believe in love at first sniff?! I knew the first time I tried FM perfumes that I had found a range of products that I could happily recommend to my family and friends because I believe they represent a touch of luxury at a really affordable price.
When many people buy fragrances in the shops, or even duty free, they typically pay around £30-£40 or more for an Eau de Toilette strength perfume that only contains around 6 to 8% perfume oil. However, FM Group offers Ladies Parfum (20% perfume oil) and Men’s EDP (16% perfume oil) for just £10.50 a bottle. Since it is stronger my customers keep telling me how much longer it lasts and are now recommending FM perfumes to their friends too.
As a FM independent distributor I earn 33% on the fragrances I sell and each month have the chance to get an extra 21% in bonuses. Their generous reward plan means I can also earn up to 21% on the sales of those I introduce to FM and their team sales too! Plus I also have the chance to share in up to 8.5% of the worldwide company turnover. One lovely aspect is the way FM Group has expanded so fast around the world, in less than 4 years we have established offices in more than 25 countries with more planned. I have an international team, which means I can even make money on sales that happen on another continent whilst I'm asleep.
Everyone orders direct from their local office and in the UK if you place an order before 1pm, you get it the following working day, and so far every order has been right (those of you who have worked for other direct sales companies may appreciate that!).
I can't speak highly enough of FM Group, it has exceeded by expectations and provided me with a simple, profitable and fun business.
If you would like to find out how you can get started with FM Group for under £30 please visit my website: http://www.love-perfumes.co.uk
I hope you've found something of interest this month. All being well, I'll speak to you again next month.
