Are you afraid of losing your job? Are you watching what you say and how you handle yourself in today’s work environment? Ever been away on business (or vacation) only to return and find out a co-worker has been released? Is your company trimming staff to cut costs for any reason? Have you been assigned more additional responsibilities because of this? Are you versatile enough to handle it?
In fact, I know that the thousands of people who will read this article (hopefully) can relate to this scenario because it has occurred to me, possibly you and definitely someone we know. With the national unemployment rate close to 10% (higher or lower depending on where you live) it’s easy to forget that there are opportunities and more possibilities online for the “versatile worker” than ever before.
Have you ever considered an online business? Once upon a time, in a land far, far away. I actually believed a fantastic claim to overnight riches with little or no effort and joined a cash gifting program that was of course a scam. Yeah, I know. I lead with my chin on that one and learned the hard way that there are a lot of scams, ploys and just plain rip-offs all over the internet. I learned some valuable lessons from that, the most obvious one is…You guessed it. “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is”.
I said to myself, when are you going to get with the program and complete due diligence the next time (if there’s going to be a next time because I am now extremely skeptical) you try to start an online business. I searched and discovered that there really are some legitimate online business opportunities to choose from. I made THE list.
Recently, my friend Brad (whom I used to work with) became concerned about his adult daughter’s boyfriend she was living with out of state. To him, something about Enrique (the daughter’s boyfriend) didn’t seem right. Brad told me that he did some research online with a people search service and found out that Enrique was not all that he appeared to be. He has since been arrested and now Rene (Brad’s daughter) also uses this invaluable service discreetly.
I did some thinking on what Brad said about his experience with people search. I visited some sites and then stumbled across a site that would build, design and maintain a people search engine for me free. Believe me that got my attention. I Googled some keywords and researched what it claimed that close to one-third of all searches done online are people search related.
First of all, I found that hard to believe, so I made a list of things to do. First off, I did some keyword research with the Google Keyword editor and was amazed to see that the keyword “people search” (without quotes) used over 80 Million times over the last 12 months! I tried a few more related keywords and got high numbers as well.
My next question was how much? There are two options, Global Domains International (GDI) offers a 7-day free trail and then is $10.00 per month afterwards. It includes domain name, hosting, email and much more. The other option is to purchase a hosting package offered. Whether you decide to go month by month or you can afford a package. This is not something that they sell to you and then you are left on your own.
So far so good, all my questions have been answered. Next, how does the people search engine make money? The search engine has 3 steps that need to be completed first. They are to get affiliated, get hosting and setup your advertising display rate. The first step is free. Everything up to this point is free. I’m sure that you have decided to move forward with this because you (like me) have performed the due diligence necessary to make the decision.
Getting hosted by the month or annually with a package deal is the next decision to be made. The final step is to decide the display rate in which your people search engine is displayed with the administrators advertising. Yes, they will advertise your website with their campaigns already in place.
Once all 3 steps are completed, and within 24 hours of starting the advertising for your website, you will receive a commission of $125. That just paid for your hosting for one year! Your people search engine makes money from the people who use it to search for information that they purchase from your website. There are 8 possible income producing streams in all.
I tossed the original “list” and crossed off everything on the 2nd list as well. I have found a legit and proven money making online business that you can do. I have really learned from this and need to pass this on to you. Are you still the versatile person when it comes to doing something for yourself?
