So you want to make extra money from home. Now, I’m not going to tell you that it is easy to make money at home, instead I’m going to talk a little about how I, if I had to do it all over again would go about making money at home.

First off don’t quit your job on your journey to make money at home online. I’m taking a couple months off right now but its because I’m moving and I’m a waiter and our busy season come to a halt. Sitting at a computer all day and grinding just isn’t realistic for me. If you’re the kind of person that can sit at a computer all day, well good for you. However, if you are currently working an office job in front of a computer, how much of the day to you actually work? I was reading something that said the average office worker is productive 2 hours a day and the rest of the time is spent in meetings, emails, socializing, etc. So, from my point of view be realistic about how much time you can actually work productively and KEEP YOUR DAY JOB, until you replace your salary from semi-passive income flowing off your websites.

However if you are up for the challenge of finding ways to make money from home, here is my first idea, make money writing. This will get you in the groove of sitting at home and working, as well as time management and basic writing skills. A website you should check out is http://elance.com There currently is plenty of work to be had on that website.

Now, a question that may have popped into your mind is, who is ordering all this articles? And if they are paying me to do the work, how are they making money off of them? There are many answers to this but mine is that they are creating Niche Blogs or Content Sites whatever you would like to call them and place a high importance to learn seo. This is one of the ways how to make money at home. What these people do is find profitable niches on random subjects with little competition. They do keyword research and come up with ideas for articles and fill them with keywords and outsource the writing to you. Then they create the site, add plugins, themes, tags, categories and build links to the sites. Currently sites like this earn $10-$40 (they go much higher, but I’m being conservative) and these sites can be sold for 9-12 months earnings so $100 to $400.

So my plan of action if I was you would be to start taking jobs as a freelance writer and start learning how to create blogs, and with your first blog, blog about your experience trying to make money. As you get more comfortable with wordpress, start finding your own niches and start writing for yourself.

Anyway I hope this helps to explain how to make money at home. If you would like more information on how to start a blog, feel free to download my free ebook that will walk you through the steps of creating your own blog. All you need to do is enter you email address and your name.

Good Luck,
