Hey I tried this and its pretty sweet! http://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=1... Ok this sight really works. I can guarantee you from my own experience hat you will make tons of money on it. All you have to do is take surveys and get paid!This is a opportunity you don't want to pass up! You can make even more money off this sight by leaving refferals - like I am doing right now. you just leave a link thingy (up there) and you get 20% of what the person makes. (cashcrate forks that 20% not you) and then you get 10% of whoever that person reffers! Its really easy and there is no pressure to complete surveys. It is 100% free to join, there is no risk at all. I couldn't believe how much I made on it! Good luck!

Hi! I am a single stay at home mom of 2 girls. My youngest is disabled so I needed to find a way to make money from home. I tried all the the taking surveys, advertising clickbank stuff on google ppc, basically everything and none worked.

Now I have my own site: http://www.homebusinessesthatprofit.com which I love. I offer a free 325 page e-book on the Science of making money. It's entitled Dotcomology if you want to download it, just click on that. I have a free newsletter as well if you are just interested in a few tips.

I also teach others how to get their own website that is 100% ready to pull in massive residual income like mine. It will be yours and you will own it. You will get step by step instructions on how to make your new site profitable, and I am always available along the way if you have any other questions. Visit below to learn more:
http://www.homebusinessesthatprofit.com/pips.html

If you are truly interested in making money online I would encourage you to at least check out this opportunity. It is powerful, and best of all you get to be your own boss. It is totally legitimate to own your own website, and all opportunites on my site can be checked with the BBB.

Best Wishes,
Alicia

I also always teach my students through Yahoo, IM so don't worry about being all alone!

*Just to note I am also promoting three free businesses I do on the side.
1. http://www.mylot.com/?ref=there4u is just like Yahoo Answers except they pay you for all the questions you ask, all the answers and comments you give, and for any refferals you get. It is totally free to join and use-they never ask you for a dime!

2. http://www.inboxdollars.com/r=lee3kan Inbox pays you $5.00 to join free. They pay .01-.10 per e-mail you read, $1.00 per survey you answer, $5.00 for each referral you get, and .50-$20.00 for each offer you complete. Payout is at $30.00 and it is not hard to reach.

3. http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=29052 Here you can write articles and get paid for it. Anywhere from $4.00-$40.00 per article. Just sign up and submit. It's that easy.

All programs I represent I have had success with personally and know for sure they pay!

For the grants side of things, start with you local and state governments to see if anything is available as well as the local colleges or universities. Then check out the books written by Matthew Lesko.

As for starting a business, here is my typically suggestions for what to think about:

Anytime you want to start any kind of business, there are several basics that you will need:

* You should first sit down and think about what it is you want to do and then write out the scenario in detail! This may sound tedious, but it will help you clarify what it is you are thinking about. Also, when you talk to anyone about the business (mentor, bank, clients, prospective investor), you will have a clear vision to share with him or her. You can check any number of books at your local library or the Internet for ideas on creating a business plan or goals list.

* Is there anyone out there doing something like what you want to do already? Can you research what it is that they do and maybe even talk with them about what they do?

* Are there businesses out there that are doing some aspect that you want to do? In this case, you want to create an online drop shipment business. What websites have you seen that you like (can you talk with them)? How does the local McDonalds or other retail outlet do business that might help you in yours (i.e. how is McDonalds able to provide a product to a customer on demand at almost anytime of day – and do it with a much of high school kids)?

* Never listen to anyone who says that you CANNOT do something UNLESS they have been there and tried that!!!!! Anyone can tell you the good things that you can try or do, however, only someone who has actually tried the specific thing your are thinking can truly give you advise on the pitfalls that could await the unsuspecting.

* If you want to look for a mentor (free or paid – although mentors usually offer their time at no cost), the question that you should be ready to address is WIIFM (What In It For Me {the mentor})! What are you willing to do for your mentor to help them with something that they may need (for me it’s simple – I am looking for 10 points =)


Contacts:

* Contact your local Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce – they have business people who will help start up operations.

* Contact your local high school, community college or university and find out whom the teachers are for courses related to your business (like business or computer/internet classes). Contact these teachers to get some ideas or even to see if they will take you company startup on as a class project or special project for some of the student to work on (might give the students extra credit and you a free startup). In the worst case, you might get the names of some good students whom you might hire to do certain aspects of what you need at a very low cost.

* Contact you local, county or state governments (check their websites) – many areas have small business administrations (or some other agency that can help with various things) that have any number of references and resources available at little or no cost.

* Go to your local library in the Reference Section and find the Encyclopedia of Associations. It is a three-book set published by Gale Research. The first book lists thousands of tiles of professional organizations and groups. It will give a code number to use in the other two books to find out more about that organization. Contact the organizations who have something to do with your idea and find out if they have a services to give you advise or local groups that you can network with. In many cases, just asking for membership and publications information may give you a lot of useful stuff.


Other outstanding sources that I have used in running my four businesses:

* Nightingale-Conant – the largest producer of audio/video training programs in the world. Many of their programs can be borrowed for free from local libraries. http://www.nightingale.com

* Entrepreneur Magazine (http://www.entrepreneurmag.com) – many great tips and ideas about running a company.

* Rich Dad Poor Dad - http://www.richdadpoordad.com/ - by Robert Kiyosaki. Has any number of products (read the book first) that you can choose from.

* Start Up Nation (besides their website, they have a radio show that may be on in your area – usually Sundays and read the book) http://www.startupnation.com/index.asp



The secret to success in business is to read everything that you can relate to your subject and to talk with as many people in the field as possible.

Good Luck.
