1. An email address

Many people use a Gmail address and I do as well. Try and make your email address fit in well with your website. For example, this website is called MoreDollarsAtHome. Guess what the email address is? Yup, it’s moredollarsathome @ gmail.com. Hint: When you place your Gmail address on your website, leave a couple of spaces in there, so the spammers don’t pick it up. Check the right sidebar to see how I have done this.

You can have several Gmail accounts if you like. When you set up a new one, you can then go into the settings and have all emails automatically forwarded to whichever Gmail account you use most often. This will save you time, as you won’t have to be logging in and out of several accounts during your day.

2. Paypal

You simply must have a Paypal account. Not only does it make receiving and sending money very easy, there are also several companies out there on the Internet which ONLY pay you through Paypal.

Paypal is a very secure way of paying or being paid. You can use it not only for your online business, but in your everyday life as well. Need to lend your kids some money quickly? As long as you both have a Verified Paypal account, it can be done instantly. Need to take advantage of a service being offered for a short time? Pay for it through Paypal.

Go to www.paypal.com and sign up. It will take a few days to get your account up and going. You need to include a bank account and you will need to wait a few days for Paypal to make 2 small deposits into that account.

Once they do, you go back over to your Paypal account and enter in the amounts of those two deposits. That is how you verify that you control that bank account.

Two Great Resources for Information

If you are new to making money from home on your computer here are a couple of resources. There are lots more and if you know of a great resource, please leave a comment here and let us know. I will add it as we go along.

For people who are trying to learn how to make money online, finding out HOW to do it can be a confusing, frustrating and expensive process. Be CAREFUL – there are a lot of sites and forums where they would like to take your money from you. It would be great if everyone was ethical, but not everyone is.

You should spend a LOT of time reading. Reading forums, reading good websites…read, read, read. The more your read, the more you learn, especially from credible sources.

2. The Digital Point Forum – Another forum with smart smart posters, this place covers a lot of ground. You can learn about SEO, Social Networking, Adsense, all kinds of Affiliate Programs, eCommerce, Programming, Advertising on Websites and much more.

 

A general word of caution:  There will Always be some posters on every forum or website who are well let’s say, less honest than others. Before you start jumping in buying eBooks and products from posters on forums (and I am NOT singling out the 2 sites mentioned above) spend your time reading threads and posts.

As you read and gather more information, some posters will stand out because of their honesty and willingness to help YOU learn how to get going with internet marketing. Feel free to ask questions – you will find that people are usually willing to help.

Do NOT fall for the scheme of “Buy my eBook and make $1000 TODAY“. Ask yourself why they would be selling this information? Wouldn’t it be better for them to keep quiet about their “foolproof” strategy and just keep making $1000 a day for themselves?

Let common sense prevail.

That being said, I have bought eBooks, links, adspace etc from several posters on each of these forums. There ARE honest people out there, you just have to take your time to find them!

Don’t spend any of your hard-earned money when you don’t have to. You can gain a lot of education simply by taking the time to read all the free information out there.
