1. News
Welcome to the summer 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 Panel
GfK TV Viewer Panel - If you ever watch TV, then the GfK TV viewer panel is one worth joining. You simply log onto
the site every day and tell them what you watched the previous day, and your opinion of the programmes you saw.
From time to time you'll also be asked about future programme ideas and may receive pilot episodes on DVD to
watch and review. Every survey you complete earns you entries into the monthly prize draw with over a thousand prizes -
top prize £1000 cash and runner up prizes in gift vouchers from your choice of a wide range of high street and online outlets.
I've received many vouchers and several pilot DVDs from this panel in the last year alone. To be more representative of
the UK population, GfK is now particularly looking for members aged from 16 to 24 years old from all over the UK,
as well as members from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This panel only very occasionally
recruits new members so don't miss this opportunity. Sign up at http://www.homeworkinguk.com/gfk.htm
2. Featured Business Opportunity
An Alternative Way To Make Money With eBay
When you hear "eBay" and "money" in the same sentence your probably think of becoming an eBay seller whereby you
place product listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left
is your profit margin.
What you might not realise is that there is another way to build a business which still revolves around eBay but doesn't involve you selling a single thing in the eBay marketplace.
This "other way" takes advantage of the eBay affiliate program. eBay wants you to promote the product listings in the eBay marketplace and in exchange for your efforts will pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from each sale you refer plus up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer.
What this means is that you can earn up to three quarters of eBay's revenue simply for connecting people to the products listed in the eBay marketplace. Not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world, you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping or process refunds.
You are no longer limited to selling only those products which you can buy and sell for a profit margin. You can choose ANY niche market and promote those eBay products relevant to your chosen niche outside of the eBay marketplace, funnelling targeted traffic through to eBay and into your own affiliate commissions.
Golf clubs, sewing kits, laptops, dog collars, diamond rings, real estate - you name it, if it's on eBay, you can make a profit from it. In fact, eBay's top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month without stocking, selling or shipping a single thing!
Now eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay affiliate and build an affiliate business BUT it has been the development of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business opportunity. This tool is called "Build A Niche Store" and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay. You can see a couple of examples at http://www.getaracecar.com/ and http://www.thebiggolfstore.com/
As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.
These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc.
Once you are familiar with how the software works, you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website targeted to the niche market of your choice, in the space of about 10 minutes.
Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn mean more eBay affiliate commissions.
It really is a brilliant concept and the member forum which you get lifetime access to when you purchase the product will give you help and advice from others already finding success using the same tools.
Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access, comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly, an unlimited domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as you want for the small one time fee.

Free Guide To eBooks
If you've been online for any length of time, looking to earn from home, it's almost certain that someone will have
mentioned creating an ebook. My own particular "bible" in this sector has always been "Make Your Knowledge Sell" which
has to be the most comprehensive guide written on the subject, covering everything from choosing your subject and producing
your masterpiece, through to marketing it and automating the sales process. Formerly sold for $49.95 (and great value
at that price), MYKS! is now available to download completely free, no strings attached. I can't possibly do it justice
in just a few words so just visit http://myks.sitesell.com/websuccessstory.html for further information.
