want to earn �500 per day driving

I saw an advert in the paper saying do you want to earn �500 per day driving to London and back. On the advert there was a website for you to go and get more information. When I got to the website it was guy saying he can let you into the secrets of how to earn �500 per day being a courier. It was a very good sales pitch and what he was saying was very convincing. He was offering a package for �40-�50 and for this he would tell you how he and you to can earn up to �500 per day driving guaranteed or your money back. After much discussion with my wife she said that I could spend the �40 and get the downloadable version as if it is a con you can get your money back.

After it had finished downloading I printed it out so we could both sit and read it. The jests of it said to phone around all the courier companys and offer your services as a self employed courier. And if you got a job say to London when you were down there phone all the companies and see if you could get a package to take back with you this would double your earnings for that day. Considering that you can only get 50p per mile as a courier and say from were you are its 300 miles to London that�s 600 miles there and back, you would get 50p per mile for 300 miles of one company and if you can get a return package you get 50p for 300 miles of the other. That would work out to be �300 for that days work. Not bad. Not quite the �500 mark but getting there. After you take of your petrol you get about �250. So to earn �500 a day you would have to travel 1200 miles a day. What happens if you don�t get a return package, it drops your earnings down to �100 after petrol, Plus the wear and tear on your car.

More to the point what companies are going to give someone a package that could contain expensive or sensitive material that they don�t know and is claiming to be a self employed courier. I did try this and no one would even entertain the idea. They all have there own big courier companies that they use. These companies only pay minimum wage so trying to get a job with them wont make you �500 a day

I wrote to the po box address saying that he has got to be having a laugh and I wanted my money back. About 2 months latter I got a check for �30, not the �40 I paid.

So make your own mind up about this one. In my opinion avoid as he is defiantly a con merchant.

Using Commission Junction by James D. Brausch http://www.QuitThatJob.com

You are now almost ready to make some money. You have developed some traffic, so let's find some companies who will pay you a commission for sending them some of that traffic.

On the Internet, most successful companies have an "affiliate program". That means that they are willing to pay a commission to ANYONE who sends them new customers. You are going to become that someone.

Instead of looking for companies individually, I recommend two networks whose sole purpose is to connect companies to affiliates. These networks are generally free. The two I recommend are:

This article will focus on Commission Junction (CJ for short). CJ is one of the two largest affiliate networks in existence. The other network which may or may not be larger at the time you read this is LinkShare. I don't recommend LinkShare when you are getting started because there are no network-wide statistics. You simply can't tell how well a merchant pays until you have first invested some of your hard-earned traffic. You may want to check them out at a later time though. I still get $25-$300 checks from various LinkShare merchants every week.

To signup at CJ (which is free) click on this link and follow the directions:

1. Click on "Solutions" up top.

2. Click on "application" under "Publisher Solutions" on the left.

3. Follow the rest of the directions to get our free CJ publisher account.

Once you have your CJ account, you can login here:

To find advertisers in your topic area do this:

1. Click "Get Links"

2. In the search box, enter the main topic of your site.

3. You will receive a list of merchants. They are ordered by the EPC (amount they pay on average per 100 clicks/visitors). You can see their 3 month average and their 7 day average.

4. Click the check box next to each merchant that you think would fit well with your site. Then click the "Apply to Program" button. I recommend avoiding merchants who have an EPC lower than $5.00.

5. Some merchants manually approve applications; others approve everyone. Your list will now show which merchants have already approved you. For each of those, click the "View Links" button.

6. It will show you all of the acceptable advertising methods for that advertiser. Some are banners (graphics), some are text. Ignore the banners. Scroll down until you see the first text link. Click the "Get HTML" link to the far right of the first text link you find for this advertiser.

7. Select the code in the box near the middle of the popup window you get. Right click on it after you have selected it and choose "Copy".

8. Use FrontPage (or DreamWeaver) to open each page in your resource directory that matches the link on CJ. Switch to HTML view in Front Page and go down to the first link on the page. Paste the CJ code right above it. Now go back to regular view in Front Page and see if the link looks OK and was pasted into the right area. You can also format it to look more like the other links on the page.

9. Repeat this for each advertiser. You want as many links as you can scattered throughout your resource directory.

10. Upload your site with the new CJ links.

That's it. Now you can sit back and relax. You can check on sales at any time at CJ, but there is no need to ship any products or do anything else. The merchant handles everything and pays CJ who then pays you monthly. I highly recommend this as an initial way to start making money with your content website.
