Greetings

Welcome to Home Based Income Ideas. The original plan was to start a blog featuring work from home job listings, but I decided that would be too boring. Besides, there are many other ways to build a successful income from home. Survey sites, affiliate marketing, Ebay, freelance writing, forum posting, paid email, Adsense, product testing...The list goes on and on...While none of these methods will make you a millionaire overnight, you can easily make enough money to pay the bills, with a little effort.

Unfortunately, the "Work at Home" market is *saturated* with scams. Fortunately, most of the scams aren't very original. A good rule of thumb is to steer clear of any "data entry" type of job. Sure, there are a few legit data entry companies (Key For Cash and Axion Data). But the vast majority of "data entry" jobs are simply scams. If any company asks you to pay to work for them, it is not a legitimate company. Also, any "data entry" job promising you will "make up to $3000 per week!" is a scam. The sad truth is, most real data entry jobs only pay around $6-$9 an hour. Key For Cash has cut their pay down to half of what it was 2 years ago, with many people now averaging around $5 an hour.

But money is money, and even $5 an hour can make a difference. Hopefully, we'll be able to explore several avenues of earning from home. I'll try to keep this site updated, at least every few days. But I do have a job (yes, I work from home), and children...so sometimes Real Life gets in the way of me posting as much as I'd like. If I don't post for a couple of days...just wait longer!
