The Truth About Home Based Typing Jobs

So, I guess the question you're asking yourself is, "Is there any money to be made typing from my home?" The answer is most definitely, but it requires work and dedication, and overcoming sometimes very boring long days. Below you will find some information on this highly advertised work from home opportunity and some steps to take in order to not get scammed out of your money.

Everywhere on the Internet you've seen the advertisements: "Work at home!" "Make money posting links!" "Blah blah blah!" There are tons and tons of companies promoting opportunities about making money from home typing, but it is simply not the case.

If you've come across any programs that look like they would be great to join, it's probably too good to be true. They sugar-coat it, spruce it up, make it seem like you could make thousands of dollars a month simply by buying their product. In no way is this ever true. You will not make money overnight and you will not rake in thousands your first month. It takes work and dedication, and I'm going to show you below the tools I used to start making money from home typing in conjunction with other programs to truly make you money.

The truth is, if you sign on with any of these companies hoping to be employed as an ad typist, home typist, or independent typist, you will not be hired as an "employee" of the company as their advertising suggests. These companies actually operate an affiliate program (also known as an associate program), and once you pay to join, your success with the program will depend upon your knowing how to market affiliate programs.

We've hit a key word there, "affiliate programs", one of the ONLY true ways to make money from home online. Basically, you promote products online and earn a commission on every sale you refer to them.


That's what makes these "ad typing" programs a fraudulent business. They target people who have no internet marketing experience, and promise them that they will engage in a simple activity (typing ads) that can result in an adequate income. This is obviously not the case. They will take your money and you will be left in the dust.

During my time spent trying to find ways to make money from home, I have come across several programs that are NOT scams, but are instead "online schools", so to speak, dedicated to teaching you what you really need to know about how to make money online.

George Brown's Google Sniper Program - Ignore the big numbers at the top he promises, you will not get this overnight, but you can use the strategies and ideas he demonstrates very well to start you out. Once you become experienced with the program, this money will become a reality.

Maverick Money Makers - Once again, this program promises big money. What they don't tell you is that the testimonials are all from experienced and highly skilled internet marketers. What you do get with this program is access to highly valuable content and strategies that will get you well on your way to making that money from your own home.

Affiliate X - Another solid program to help you make money working from home.

Home Job Group - Great program to help you browse some of the actual work at home typing jobs. Great opportunity for finding work with this program.


If you should come across any promises from companies saying you can make money typing from home, remember, they are a big fat lie. One of the few REAL ways to make money online is to check out how these people do it, through affiliate marketing.
