1. News
Welcome to the latest issue of the Homeworking Ideas newsletter,
the monthly publication which will give you all the latest news from the UK on ways
of earning money from home.
Survey Sites
Apologies for the problems last month with the Opinionworld link.
The company decided to choose that week for some unannounced maintenance work.
If you weren't able to sign up then, try again at
http://www.homeworkinguk.com/opinion.htm.
You'll then be sent an invitation to join.
Retail Eyes, one of the largest Mystery Shopping Companies in the USA is launching
in the UK this summer and are now offering people the opportunity to pre-register
for further information on how to become a Retail Eyes Mystery Shopper in the UK
and join their network of over 60,000 shoppers. Simply log on
http://www.retaileyes.net
and choose 'Shopper Pre-Register' from the menu, provide them with a few basic
details and they will shortly send you through a simple application form on how
to become one of their shopping team. With assignments throughout the UK due
to start in the summer, they claim there'll be "plenty of opportunities to get
paid to shop, eat out, go to a movie and generally have fun!"
Promoting Multiple Websites
One of the more popular parts of the site is the section detailing sites that pay you for online activities. However to earn more than a few dollars a month from them you need to build up a referral base, which isn't always practical with dozens of different links to promote. In the past I've recommended companies that allow you to add links to a single promotional page, but in every case you could only add your links for selected programs. With hundreds of programs out there, the chances of your own favourites being listed were always fairly slim but I've finally found a company that has got around this problem by not only allowing you to add your referral links for their selected programs but you can also add links including a banner to another 11 programs you've joined that aren't listed.
ExploittheInternet.com
offers a free basic membership where you can list and promote all your online programs
and also a premier membership which also entitles you to a greater benefit from
unallocated visitors to ExploittheInternet (those not following a referral link)
as 9 out of 10 of these visitors will be directed to a premier site and just 1 in
10 to a basic member's site. This can greatly increase the number of signups
to your selected programs. Premier members are also able to add their own button
sized ads to their pages, and earn commission on any premier members joining under
them. Premier membership normally costs $19.95 per year but I've managed to get a
discount for newsletters subscribers of $10.00 off the regular price, making $9.95
for a year - less than $0.83 per month! Where else could you get advertising for
that price, regardless of your own efforts or the chance to earn on recruiting others?
This discount is only available until 20 May so if you're interested, visit
http://www.exploittheinternet.com/Default.asp?RefID=10568
before that date.
2. Featured Publication
Working From Home - Top 50 Opportunities 2003
In an earlier newsletter I recommended the long running business magazine, The BOARD, as an excellent resource for checking out the latest opportunities. Since they started back in 1993 they have investigated more than one thousand home business opportunities and weeded out the scams, the no-hopers and the pies in the sky. Helped by feedback from their members, they have identified those which are genuine home business opportunities with a reasonable chance of earning a fair income and now they've put all this information into a unique research directory entitled "Working From Home - Top 50 Opportunities 2003".
All the opportunities have been hand-picked for their suitability for people who want to start either part-time or full-time with minimal investment and minimal risk - 9 of the opportunities are free to join, and a further 19 of them cost less than £100 to get started
The opportunities listed are straightforward and genuine and have proved themselves by standing the test of time. Most of them require no special skills, qualifications or experience, and it doesn't matter how old you are or where you live
You will find a wide choice of opportunities to work from home in this directory - something for everyone - e.g. office administration, telephone services, earn money from your home computer, market research, aromatherapy, proof reading, mystery shopping, greeting cards, crafts, entertainment, freelance writing, property management, mortgage consultancy, and many more.
The directory gives you full details of the work involved, including the names, addresses and phone numbers of the 50 companies, so that you can contact them. Normally retailing at £24.95 you can get a copy for just £19.95 by quoting reference IHD when you order. Credit card orders can be placed by phoning 0870 749 6321. (Lines open 8am to 10pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday.)
To pay by cheque or postal order send payment to Home Business Alliance, Freepost ANG3155, March, Cambridgeshire PE15 9BR.
3. Featured Business Opportunity
If you're a parent of young children, it's quite likely you've ruled out many
business opportunities as you simply don't get the chance to naturally bring your
business up in conversation, and can't afford to buy loads of stock. If this is the
case then Usborne Books at Home could be the ideal opportunity for you. With a range
of over 2000 books to choose from you can sell to friends, schools, playgroups or even
local offices using the brochures and seasonal leaflets supplied and earn upward of
24% in commission. Usborne books have achieved international recognition and
regularly earn glowing reviews and prestigious prizes. Combining very high
educational standards with outstanding quality and brilliant value for money,
the range include products for children of all ages and interests.
For the amazingly low price of £38 you get a starter pack
containing not only all the stationery and brochures you'll need to get started but
also a selection of 18 books worth in excess of £85. Join during May and you also get
a free pack of first learning books worth £50. Even if you only buy for your own
family you can't lose. For further details including a complete list of the books
included in your starter pack, and the option to have our own free promotional
webpage, visit http://www.makelearningfun.co.uk
or e-mail usborne@homeworkinguk.com with your name, address and telephone number.
4. Featured Freebies
Myoffers.co.uk is probably the UK's biggest free prize draw website with dozens
of chances to win great prizes, including cars, holidays and electronic equipment
just for completing short questionnaires. If you haven't yet joined they're now
offering a few extra incentives to encourage you to visit the site, including a
free mouse mat, £5 cash when 5 friends you recommend join up or £10 when 8 join
and a selection of free* software, DVDs and CDs(*£2.95 p+p per title). For more
details including this month's free titles, visit

If you've ever had a great idea for a dotcom domain name for a website and want
to check availability or even find out more about the people behind a
website you've visited (that great business opportunity might not seem so
wonderful when you realise it's registered in Latvia to a Peruvian and was only
registered last month!) then I've found the perfect piece of software. Just key in the
domain name and it tells you instantly whether the name has been registered and if so, to whom
including a contact address and telephone number. Download from
http://www.homeworkinguk.com/whois.exe
I hope you've found something of interest this month. Speak to you again next month.
