Enough is Enough!

OK! So I've had enough of watching all of these people say they make hundreds, even thousands of dollars, working from home while the rest of us toil away for nothing. Do I believe these people? No, of course not, but is it possible? Of course - anything is possible! What the heck! I've selected a couple of sites that didn't require money upfront and started my research on affiliate marketing.

The big key to any successful venture (after cash), is a plan. My plan? Don't know - I just know I want to make money now! That should be enough to drive my success (right)?

Seriously, I started thinking about the number of times I had to look for a payday loan just to get tossed from one website to the next to the next and how frustrating that was. I did keep filling out the forms, though, all the while thinking the next one would be the last one. Why not get in on that action? I've been on the receiving end and did eventually get my loan but had to go through about 20 hoops to get it. Now I have my own link to payday loan sites and get paid each time someone fills out an application (even if they aren't approved). Sounds like a scam, right? Probably is - I've had 180 visitors to my site since last week and still haven't made enough to be paid but I only paid $29.95 for the web hosting after my 7-day trial and if I already had a website, I wouldn't have had to pay that. You could probably have your local provider host your site and have that cost included in your monthly internet bill but I don't trust our provider.

Am I making money while I sleep? No. Am I making money while I'm awake? Depends - if I get a good ad on Craigslist I will see a flow of traffic later that day. It is difficult to post though, without people calling it spam. Frustrating! So far, it has been 6 days and I've earned $147.00. Not bad considering I haven't spent money on advertising yet.

Anyway, I will keep you posted if this pays off. I am not going to struggle through another year of being broke. If I have to get another 2nd job, I will but I am going to pull myself out of this!
