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.
UK Postal Service
Has anybody else been experiencing major problems with post recently? Last Saturday (8 May) I received 4 letters all posted in the first week of April and am still missing other correspondence sent around the same time. Since then I've only received one delivery all week,
instead of the usual daily bundle - even the junk mail is going astray!
I've also recently received an order from somebody who omitted to fill in their name and address on the order form so to any of you waiting on a response to a letter you've sent, just drop me an e-mail.
Virtual World Direct
Joy Healey has written to tell me about the latest news at successful lottery business, "Virtual World Direct"
Virtual World Direct has now made 'Euro Millions - Pan European Lottery draw' available to distributors. e-Lottery is a proven system, which increases your chances of winning the UK Lotto, and is now being utilised to improve e-Lottery players' chances of winning the new Pan European Lottery - Euro Millions.
The Euro Millions draw has an average weekly jackpot of £15 million. With frequent rollovers and no capped jackpot, it is one of the largest lump sum, tax-free lotteries in the world.
There are 12 different cash prize categories. To scoop the Euro Millions jackpot you need to match 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and two additional Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9 drawn from a separate drum. If you purchase a single line entry your odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 76 million. Playing the e-Lottery System greatly increases your chances of winning the jackpot by 96% and you also have a 1 in 10 chance of winning any prize.
Run along similar lines to the successful UK version, you join a syndicate of 39 people who combine their efforts to substantially improve their chances of winning and you all share the same 5 lottery numbers. These numbers are entered into each Euro Millions draw which is drawn every week on a Friday. You only play with 5 numbers because the e-Lottery System guarantees to match both lucky star numbers in every draw, so you only need to match the 5 main numbers to scoop the jackpot. This gives you a huge advantage over independent players. Playing the Euro Millions every Friday in an e-lottery multi-win syndicate gives you a total of 36 chances a week or 144 every 4 weeks.
I added the Pan European option to my original UK Lotto entry on a Friday afternoon and by Saturday morning I'd already had a win. Only a small win, but it's a good omen - when I joined the UK version I had my first win within 24hrs of joining.

2. Featured Publication
Working From Home - Top 50 Opportunities
One of my top recommendations for 2003, Top 50 Opportunities has now been updated for 2004. As you would expect from a directory of the Top 50 opportunities reviewed over the last 10 years by respected magazine The BOARD, a large proportion of the opportunities that made the top 50 in 2003 are still considered worthy of inclusion, but around 25% of last year's selection have been replaced by new ideas so you can be sure the information is up to date in addition to being well researched and considered. The directory gives you full details of the work involved, including the names, addresses and phone numbers of the 50 companies.
Once again we are able to offer a £5 discount to subscribers. 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, payable to "The BOARD" send payment to Home Business Alliance, Freepost ANG3155, March, Cambridgeshire PE15 9BR. You can also use this address to request further information.
3. Featured Business Opportunity
Equitalk
If you're looking for a business idea, what could be better than one that costs nothing to join, saves money for everyone who uses the service, provides you with an introductory bonus and residual income and even offers free phone calls between all users?
You simply sign up free of charge to Equitalk and earn commission on all the phone calls made by anyone you sign up.

Free Advertising with Google
Google's AdWords system can be an excellent and cost effective way to generate
visitors to your website or affiliate link but is something you definitely need to
get the hang of, and there are some techniques you need to know before it really
performs for you. Perry Marshall, author of the highly recommended
"Definitive Guide to Google AdWords" has written a 5-day email tutorial on

Free Catalogues
The high street often isn't the best or cheapest place to shop, especially for business use, but finding out about mail order alternatives isn't always easy.
Catalink has come to the rescue with a huge range of hundreds of free catalogues you can request. All can be posted out to you and many are now instantly downloadable in the form of an Electronic Catalogue which is an exact copy of the printed catalogue. Each page contains the same images/products, and you can flick through the E-Catalogue in the same manner as a printed catalogue. With clear categories for browsing, you should be able to find a supplier for just about anything whether for business or personal use.
