Free Lottery Systems - Are They Worth It?

by Chris Malcolm


There are free lottery systems everywhere you turn to online, but are they truly worth it even though they may be free? Most of these free lotto systems offer maybe one or two lottery secrets with some kind of lotto system wanting to charge you for the "winning lotto system". Basically these sort of winning lottery systems maybe free as far as 1 or 2 tips, but they make you pay for a useless program or lotto software which you will have no use for and just waste your money.

Most people don't even waste their time anyways. They pick their lottery numbers using lucky numbers off the top of their head, or a single lucky number, or try to develop a logical lotto strategy by analyzing the frequency of when certain numbers hit and what number is hot. Most people view the lottery as 6 lucky numbers that MUST hit in order for you to win millions and millions of dollars. It is highly unlikely and your chances of winning the lottery are slim to none. There is no point in wasting all your money year after year on a
1:30909187230987120398129372091837102938709 (over exaggerating but you get the picture). You have a better chance of being struck by lighting TWICE in one day then win the lottery. That is why I have completely stopped playing the lottery and moved to playing the pick 3. I have found a system that truly works which has caused me to stop wasting my money and start investing it in the pick 3 lottery.

The way to do this is simple. First you must realize that the pick 3 lottery is by far your best chance of winning ANY lottery game. You have a 1:1000 chance if you know NOTHING about the pick 3 lottery drawing. 1:1000 isn't that bad if you think about it. If you factor in something what's called UNMATCHED numbers that 1:1000 chance of winning will turn into a 1:120 chance??? Like those odds now? I thought so, it definitely is much better and gives you a more realistic chance of actually winning. Now, if you study your states most frequently occurring number, you can take that 1:120 chance and bring it down to 1:55 or 1:50 range. Studying your states most frequently occurring number will land you some nice money especially if you are doing it playing UNMATCHED numbers.

For those of you that do not know what UNMATCHED numbers are, they are a set of 3 numbers that do not repeat themselves in the pick 3 drawing. These numbers include 056, 712, 049, 860, etc... This is the ONLY COMBINATION you should be playing and you need to play it using BET BOX form. BET BOX form is the ONLY betting style in which you will use. It gives you a 100% better shot of winning the pick 3 then any other combination. I have been doing this for a few years and I win the pick 3 at least ONCE a week. I hope you take my advice seriously and I wish you the best of luck!

Stay dedicated and persistent, good results are right around the corner!

How anyone can buy new cars wholesale at up to 60% off Retail (What car dealers pray you don't find out)

by Stevan Page

World famous Dr Suzanne Gudakunst has just released her biggest "shocker!" ever ...
--> Her Secret to buying expensive cars for as little as $300 a month!
Dr Suzanne made it big on both TV and now the Web - but what most people don't know is that she routinely buys exotic and luxury cars for as little as 50% of what car dealers force everyone else to pay.

She is able to do this because she discovered something NO car salesman ever wants you to find out about!

This Secret is so powerful, yet involves doing just 1-3 things (usually) that will allow you to get ANY CAR you want (including normal day-to-day average cars you see on the highway, to even the most expensive exotic cars such as Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces!)
Most recently Dr Suzanne herself used her own secret to buy over $1 million worth of cars, but where she saved $700,000 using her amazing new breakthrough secret (so she paid just $300,000 and got 6 very pricey cars worth $1 million - and each one was brand new and this year's model!)

But you DON'T have to be looking to buy these top and most expensive cars - but can use her secret to buy any car - even a middle-class Sudan or family vehicle.
So, at this point it's only fair to ask:
"How did Dr Suzanne discover this?"
Simple really ...
Although very rich (Dr Suzanne makes over $45,000 a day online alone) Dr Suzanne is the kind of gal who doesn't believe in paying "extra" if you don't have to.
One day while shopping around for her first Bentley Rolls-Royce, she got "mixed feelings" from the car salesman trying to sell her the car.
She felt that he wasn't telling her the truth (a kind of "sixth-sense" sort of thing).
So she began compulsively investigating all the deals she could possibly find elsewhere and online, and in the process she started to see a clear pattern:
--> People are being lied to and cheated out of $10,000's each and every time they buy even a single car!

Dr Suzanne then got really "ticked off" and this drove her to an even DEEPER investigation far, far further until she had a stack of facts, figures and even methods that allowed her to get one over on the car dealerships (for a well-deserved change!)
Being a doctor and scientist, naturally Dr Suzanne wanted to put her "New Discovery" to the ultimate test:

* * * A real "live" case! * * *
So she went out and applied her new found "Secret" only to discover that she could get a Rolls-Royce for as little as $600 a month, and a Lamborghini for as little as $1,160 a month!
She also found that she could get the prices on these same kinds of cars reduced by as much as 30%, 50% or even by as much as 90% (or even more!)
Then she decided to see if this same "Secret" could work for what most people considered "normal cars."

And guess what: * * * The SAME Secret held TRUE! * * *
Dr Suzanne was now armed with what is now considered by experts at below wholesale buying to be the "Greatest Car Buying Secret" ever discovered!
So powerful and amazing it PROVED in her own life that she decided to share it with several close friends to see if they too could apply it successfully.

And the SAME THING resulted!
One good and close personal friend of Dr Suzanne's is another Internet Multi-Millionaire (name withheld for privacy reasons) and who wanted to buy a brand new Lamborghini Murcielago which usually costs $412,700* (*this year's model).

After applying Dr Suzanne's secret he was able to get it for:
o NO Money down! o and just $1,300/month!
Yeah, yeah ... I know, I know ... these people are already rich ... so why should they get to use the advantages of her secret, right?

The fact is: Regardless of how much you make (or like most of us, how little!) it doesn't matter.
As they say "a penny saved is a penny earned," so imagine saving $250,000 on a super exotic car (which means $250,000 earned!)

Or, for the rest of us, what if you saved:
o $15,000 on your next car purchase, Or ... o $400 a month on payments
These savings quickly add up (and again, BLANK amount saved means BLANK amount earned, regardless of what you put in the BLANKS, right?)

So, if after reading this email you STILL insist on being an "idiot" and paying FULL Price when you no longer ever have to, then fine, leave all the biggest savings to the few of us who are smart enough to grab up Dr Suzanne's "Top Secret Car Secret!"

Oh, and by the way, with the few of us doing so, the car salesmen will have to screw someone else out of all the money that they are losing to us, so that means "YOU" will be their next victim.

... Unless of course you happen to have a COPY of Dr Suzanne's "Top Secret Car Secret" like we do!

So, just to be generous, I'll give you the link** (**But Shhhh! - Don't go blabbing your mouth all over the Web telling everybody else, cuz we have a pretty good thing here as long as everybody else doesn't find out about it!)

Here it is:

Convert A Car To Run On Water

By Nicusor Valentin Prefac


If you are not rich and you use a car, then you are affected by the 4$ a gallon gas. Everyone is affected by the increasing prices of gas and everyone want solutions to get rid of this expensive gas.

But many people convert their car to run on water thanks to some tv shows like Project Energy, Fox News, which presented a while ago a method to convert a car on water and improve mileage while saving gas.You must install some parts to your engine and your car will run on water as well on gas, but with higher mileage so you save money and in fact your car will run smoother and quieter. Many people convert their cars to burn water and get a mileage improvement of at least 50%.

Let's make a quick calculation:

If you get a 50 mileage improvement if you convert a car to run on water then you will spend 50% less on gas.If your monthly spend is 1000$, then you will be able to save 500$ every month. So imagine that you can pay your rent or the lease for a new car with that money.

The method is easy to apply and it's very cheap. Also on the internet you can find step-by-step guides that will show you how to convert a car to run on water and also provide plans and images with what you must do.Most of the parts can be found at your local store and are 100% safe to use, so don't worry about making unsafe adjustments to your engine.

Do you want to convert your car with less than 150$ ,including the conversion kit?

Nine Steps To Massive Website Traffic For Your Home Business

by Cindy Floyd

In the online internet home business we all know that traffic is our business. Without massive amounts of visitors we don’t stand a chance of making enough sales to build a successful online business. So the repeated question is always “how do you drive traffic to your website?”
There are nine proven steps that every home business owner can use to build a list and draw traffic to their website. Most of these steps are free or low cost. Some of them are simple and easy to do, other are more challenging.
However don’t let that scary you away from any of them. If you feel uncomfortable with any of them there any plenty of good reputable companies you can outsource those tasks to and still make it profitable to do so.

#1: Write an article.
Write an article with good content regarding your product or service. The article needs to be between 300 and 500 words long. Your article should always contain valuable information for the reader.
It does not always have to be about your product or niche but should have a way to tie back to your business opportunity. For example your article could be about dog travel cages and your business is travel. You can write about the best ones that add comfort for the dog, and are cost efficient, while traveling with you to your discount travel destinations. See how that works?

#2: Submit your Article.
Once you have your article written you need to submit it. You know something about submitting articles since you might very well be reading this on or from an article submission site. Either way you can search on article submission and find many free sites to join.
Before you submit the article make sure you have good resource box content for your business promotion. Most sites allow you to promote your product or service within the resource box. Take advantage of this, it’s a great way to get traffic to your site.

#3: Rework Your Article into a Press Release and then Submit.
Rework your article content into a press release. A press release needs to be more like an announcement rather than just news or helpful topics like most articles.
You can pay to have your Press Release distributed or you can manually post to the free sites. Either way this is great exposure for your home business.

#4: Rework Your Article into a Video.
Your next step is to rework your article into a video. The results you get from video submissions are fantastic. The Big 3 (Google, Yahoo, MSN) are trying to turn the internet into the next television, so videos get ranked very high. If this is not your idea of fun, have it outsourced.
You will need to spend some money here for audio equipment and a camcorder. You don’t need much to get started.

#5: Submit video.
Now you're ready to begin submitting your videos to video submission websites. Most of these sites are free, just time consuming to post and up load your video. So be prepared to sit and wait.
Or if you would rather upload once there are sites you can pay to have this done for you.

#6: Turn your audio into a Pod Cast.
Apple has taken pod casting mainstream by building everything you need to find, subscribe to, manage, and listen to pod casts right in iTunes. You can publish your podcast to iTunes and reach a potential audience of millions.

#7: Create your blog entry.
Blogging your content will help you create another media to pass your information. Blog’s are seen differently by the search engines. They are indexed much faster…
This should be easy since you already have your information complete.

#8: Create a Social Media post
If you’re not into social media yet you need to be. This is no longer just for teens. A Facebook survey states the average age on their site is 25, and more baby boomers are registering everyday.
Most sites allow you to advertise your home business in some manner. Make sure you read the rules and get started today. This a great source to reach hundreds of thousands of people free.

#9: Bookmark Your Video Links
A social bookmarking site is just like using the bookmark tab in your browser. It bookmarks the sites you're interested in.

Bookmarking sites in your niche helps you become an authority in your niche and builds relationships.

There you have it. Once you have completed the above nine steps, you’ll be driving an enormous amount of traffic to your site FOR FREE!!

How to Make Money from Your Digital Photos

by Karen Fairham

Would it appeal to you to know you can submit your digital photos online and get paid for it? In that case read on. Submitting your photo to stock photo sites does not require that you be a professional photographer nor do you require any professional equipment, in fact you already have what it takes as long as you have a digital camera and you are reading this article (meaning you have access to internet connection).

There are many stock photo sites that you can sign up with and submit your digital photos to them on certain pre-agreed terms of payment. You can find photo stock sites by doing an internet search yourself or by using websites that have gathered the different stock photo sites and make it accessible to you on their site, but note that the site might run a membership that could require you to pay a certain fee.

The stock photo sites are often used by businesses and individuals who find it cheaper to browse through the stock photo sites for what they want, than actually hiring a professional photographer which could end up costing more. So the more digital photos you submit the more money you stand.

It is that simple to make money from submitting your photo to stock photo sites, but there are a few tips you can apply to see that your photos are not refused and that they receive high download rate;

1. Try to capture an object or landscape from more than one point of view, thereby giving the person looking at downloading that scene or object more options.
2. Ensure that you do not submit photos with trademark or brands showing on them.
3. Do not submit that you have no right to as that is one of the fastest routes to end up in court. 4. Read the terms or service of each site as they might have slight differences which you need to be aware of.
5. Submit to many different stock photo sites (it is like a numbers game, the more photos you have submitted with different sites the more download you get)
6. For every site find out what category of photos are more popular and you can work around that.

Another strategy that I use is to capture a particular landscape in different seasons and weather. Such photos do very well from my own experience, but there are so many things you can take pictures of and see how well it does with Stock Photo Sites

More and more people are leaving their boring 9-5 jobs and opening up a home based business. Why not you?

If you are stumped for ideas on how to work from a home based business, here are some ways to get started:

Write SEO Articles
Do you know how to write? If so, you may enjoy writing SEO articles from home. SEO stands for search engine optimized. This means that the articles that you write will have certain keywords that you have to use to make the article come up in the search engines. There is a constant need for copy on the internet because businesses have to keep their websites fresh with new copy all of the time. If you can string together a few sentences and have grammar and spelling skills, you can write SEO articles. This can easily lead to a chance to work from a home based business as all you need is a computer and a few clients to get started.

Sell Items On Auction
If you have some money to invest in a work from home based business and want to have your own retail store, you can easily do so by signing up for an auction service like Ebay. Here you can sell pretty much anything you want. You can also purchase items from online sellers in bulk and break them up to sell them on Ebay.

You can learn to write your own ads using keywords that describe your auctions and get even more people to see your ads than ever before. Selling items on Ebay is fun and can net you a nice profit. There are many people who make their Ebay auction business their livelihood. Check out the Ebay forums to get yourself started in this work from home based business.

Freelance Services

You can do secretarial work from home, transcription work, design websites or just about anything else. If you can do it on a computer, you can do it from home. There is no reason to go into the office and most business owners, especially small business owners, would rather hire someone to do the work on a freelance basis as they do not have to pay health insurance or any other benefits. More businesses are looking to the internet to hire freelancers for every field. Go on a site like Get a Freelancer to discover what is open for you in a work from home based business.

Souring Gas Prices Creates Need For Home-Based Businesses

by William Winch

If you have ever attended a Network Marketing training, you have probably heard someone say that there is no better time than the present to begin, or revive, your home-based businesses. Although this is usually just a tactic to get people excited enough to jump on the band wagon or to stop procrastinating, the rising cost of gas in America today has turned this motivational technique into an honest truth.

Everyday that passes by, we see gas prices slowly increasing to astronomical heights. This is causing all of our other expenses to rise by default, everything from groceries to postage. There actually is no better time to start a home-based business than the present, and leave the nine to five jobs to those who are willing to empty their wallets at the gas pump every morning.

When you work from home for yourself, you will find that many expenses you used to have are no longer needed. For example, your commute to and from work every day on the highway is totally eliminated. This benefit alone is enough to make people stop and think about their situation. Most people have to work one or two days a week just to pay for the gas to get themselves to their jobs! For some the toll is even higher. For home bases business owners, the cost is zero.

My commute to work every morning is walking from my bedroom to my den, which is about 100 feet. I once had a job that was a 40 minute drive each way. I literally could not afford to drive that far today the way gas prices are. Not only have I eliminated the cost, I now have 80 more minutes every day to work in my home office that I didn't have before. That's 6.5 hours a week of saved time and about $100 of saved money from not having to pay for gas.

I know what you are thinking as you read this. If you stop working one way and start working another, you will just have a new set of expenses to replace the old ones. Although this is true to an extent, building a home-based business does not have to be a costly endeavor. Now more than ever because of the internet, there are cheaper and better ways to generate business than the traditional networking techniques of placing newspaper ads and driving all around town to distribute pamphlets.

Most Network Marketing companies use outdated traditional methods and urge their distributors to attend monthly meetings in order to get business training. Unfortunately, these trainings won't offer you much more than a chance to gather socially with your peers to learn outdated techniques that won't help you grow a successful business. And with the price of fuel today, it is extremely difficult to persuade enough people to attend as your guests to make it worth your while.

The first thing you must do when starting a home-based businesses is seek proven marketing education. If your company can't teach you how to use the internet properly without spending money you don't have, you need to find a program that will. Proper marketing techniques such as pay per click advertising, blogging, writing articles and using youtube.com are cost efficient, effective and proven ways to attract your target audience.

It is important not to get caught up in the traps in which most people find themselves after they sign up for a network marketing company. I have seen friends join online business systems after being promised to be provided with quality leads only to find themselves deep in debt. If something is costly and doesn't come with a money back guarantee, do not sign up for it. Even if it's a company sponsored training. If they cannot guarantee your success from attending, don't go.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a quality lead. Don't let anyone tell you that a lead is worth twenty five dollars. You can find the same leads online for ten cents. The only reason these people are charging you more is so they can supplement their income by being a provider. Cut out the middle man and purchase the leads yourself. Any online broker will help you get a list of people in your target audience, and they won't charge you an arm and a leg for them.

If you decide to go into business marketing a nutritional product, the more power you will have at saving money. You cannot be successful without being passionate about your product, and that requires consuming it on a daily basis. The cost of groceries has gone up just as much as gas prices, and buying from your own company will cut your grocery cost and increase your business at the same time.

As you can tell, working from home requires you to do some homework if you want it to be a cost-efficient endeavor. Nothing in life comes easy, but you have the power to adapt to your environment by making wise decisions about your income and future. There is no better time than now to start a home-based business, and the more attention you pay to detail, the better your chances for success.

How Do I Make Money on the Internet? 3 Tips to Help You Get Started Now

by Scott Brooks

The internet is a great place to make extra cash quickly while providing goods and services that benefit your customers. There are many ways to make money online, but I am going to just focus on the three most lucrative forms of online income.

Blog links
One of the most trendy ways to gain wealth online is by advertising text links on your blog site. Typically the links are laid out on the side under "Other Sites" or something like that. After signing up, the amount of money you will be paid for the links is determined by many factors such as your site's Alexa traffic ranking and PageRank. As a rule, a beginner's blog will earn about $15 per text link. But if you sell six for example, that's $90/month just for hosting a blog. raising your PageRank and Alexa ranking will no doubt increase the fee for your links. Let's say for instance that the price of your links has increased to $100. For six links, that would be a solid $600/month.

AdSense
While not the only factor - site traffic is obviously key when it comes to profiting from almost any online activity. The more visitors that see your well positioned, pertinent and well designed adsense links, the more likely it is that they will make a purchase. So don't just work on your links - work on building your readership list. Not only that, think about how you might direct traffic on your blog into pages where visitors are more likely to click on your adsense links.

Affiliate Links
Affiliates profit by referring customers to their merchants. There are many companies and webmasters who offer affiliate programs to supplement their online sales. When you join an affiliate program, you are given an affiliate link with a unique affiliate ID which will be used to promote the product. When someone makes a purchase using your affiliate link, you make money right then through commissions.

Author: Joan Clout-Kruse

"I want to write an eBook and make some money," my earnest writer, Nancy, said to me. She heard that eBooks make money and she wanted to use this easy method rather than write a traditional book that takes much longer to publish. There are thousands of articles on the Internet that show you how to write an eBook, but very few that tell you what you need to do to market and sell your eBook online.Writing the eBook is the easy part.

There are many other things that need to be done to sell your eBook. Listed below are some of the basic activities that need to be done so that people will come to your Website and buy your eBook and you will make money. If you don't know what some of the terms I mention below mean, then start searching the Internet for these words and buy an eBook that covers this information.

1. Do your research Before you begin writing, do your research. Research your area of expertise and determine if your eBook is likely to be profitable. Do an Internet search for your topic and see what eBooks are out there on your subject. Check out the prices. Soon you will know how to write an eBook with your niche that will sell.

2. Build a website that attracts traffic First you have to have a place to sell your eBook. It must be traffic rich with keywords that attract a targeted traffic -- people who already are looking for the type of eBook you have to offer. Build your keyword rich Website and the Internet surfers will come and visit you.

Drive traffic to your Website by writing eZine articles on your subject and sending them to eZine article services. Offer a free report if they sign up for your newsletter which you will send to them once or twice a month. Oh yes, you have to get an autoresponder service to collect your names. Do an Internet search for "autoresponder" and you will find several services that offer this.

4. Write a sales page Start looking at Websites that offer an eBook similar to yours. Check out their promotional sales letter. Would you buy the product based on their sales letter? If yes, then write a sales letter similar to theirs, but don't copy word for word. Create your own exciting copy that will make people want to buy your eBook.

6. Promote your book in forums, blogs, and social networking sitesOn blogs and forums everytime you make a comment include your name, eBook title and Web address if possible. Sign up for Facebook, Linkedin and other social networking sites to promote your book and direct people to your site. Include a chapter, or part of one, on your networking sites to give people a taste of the eBook. There are eBook directories that can help promote your eBook.

7. Write articles for article directoriesWriting articles of 600-1000 words and sending them to eZine article services is a good way to get people to come to your site. Check out the site EzineArticles as they have good articles on how to use them and the guidelines are similar for other services. This gets your name and Website address out there in Internet world and some people will come to your site and sign up for your eZine. Then you will have more names added to your list.

8. Joint VenturesTeam up with other eBook authors to cross promote each other's eBooks. Promise to send referrals to each other and recommend each other's products. It may be difficult at first if you don't have a large list of names, but give it a try. If it is a good eBook partners may be interested in promoting your book for a 40-50% commission. Selling your eBook takes weeks or months of work. Begin doing these activities while you are writing your eBook. Don't wait until it is finished. Wouldn't it be nice if you already had a built in list of names to announce your new eBook to? This can happen if you have been steadily acquiring business cards and adding them to your list.

How To Make Money Online With Elance

By James Burchill

Do you write? Can you string together words and sentences – like this? Would you like to make a few extra bucks (maybe more…) without the hassles of a traditional job? You would? Then welcome to the wonderful world of freelance writing on Elance.

-- What is Elance?

Elance is a website forum, a marketplace that allows people from all over the world to actively participate in buying and selling their products and services. As a freelance writer you can offer your writing services with very little effort on your part. If you can surf the web, use email and generally communicate in English (yup, it’s the principal language used on Elance) then you are pretty much good to go.

-- How Does It Work?

It’s quite simple; Elance is a subscription based website that charges you a small fee to become a member. At the time of writing basic monthly subscriptions begin at $30. Once you’re registered you can browse all the active (open) projects and bid on the ones that interest you. As a member you can even set up a personal store front (profile) and showcase your products and services to potential buyers (and it’s not unusual to get direct enquiries from buyers this way.)

-- If Your Bid Is Chosen

If your bid is selected you will get the chance to decide if you want to proceed with the project or not. If you decide to go ahead then you and the buyer enter into an agreement (Elance provides templates and samples at no charge.) You provide the services to the buyer and the buyer pays you what they promised – simple.

Elance gets a small commission on all projects that are awarded. But don’t worry, there is no cost to you for winning projects – that’s the buyers responsibility and the buyer will be billed directly (it doesn’t even come out of the agreed project payments!)

-- So How Much Work Is Available To You?

That’s a good question; after all if you are going to spend at least $30 a month on a basic subscription, you really need to figure out if the subscription is worth it. The number of open projects varies, however it’s not unusual to find between 150 and 200 writing projects available at any given time.

-- And How Much Are These Projects Worth?

There are currently two types of project postings on Elance: BASIC and SELECT. If you have only chosen a basic membership then you can only bid on Basic projects. You will need a Select membership to bid on the select projects.

And the reason you would buy a select membership is simple – select projects pay more, are less likely to end without being awarded (yes there are people on Elance who post projects to “get a feel for the market” and have no intention of actually awarding the project!)

So back to the main question – how much are the projects really worth? Again, this data varies over time (I cover this and more in my new report on www.ElanceExposed.com), however here’s a quick ‘rule of thumb’ that I’ve found to be fairly accurate: If you multiply all the number of open projects by $250 and multiply that again by 70% you will get a fairly good idea. For example, 200 open projects X $250 X 70% = $35,000

-- But What About the “Big” Projects?

There are big projects on Elance, they get posted infrequently but they are available. As you might imagine these projects are usually posted by companies – not people – and they usually pay 5 to 10 times what a regular project pays. With this kind of payout you can imagine the competition is quite high, however pitching to a business is not the same as pitching to a person.
-- What About Gotchas And Other Issues?

There aren’t too many. The biggest one that springs to mind is that Elance currently does not offer a refund policy on their subscriptions. You actually have to get on board and sign up to get a feel for the Elance market. And to be quite frank, you really need to give yourself a fighting chance and sign up for three months.

If you signed up for a three month Select membership you would currently pay $150 USD. That’s not a huge amount of money, but it is a bit steep if you find out that Elance is not for you.

-- Here Are a Few Elance Quick Facts:

* 100,000+ potential buyers visit Elance Online every week
* Web's #1 consulting site and top 1,000 most visited site
* Awarded Best of the Web by Forbes (2003)
* Reliability Certified by the Better Business Bureau

-- And Here Are a Few Neat Benefits of Using Elance:

* Easily market yourself to a global pool of prospective clients.
* Pitch your services at prices you establish.
* Make a profit as an independent consultant.

It’s true, thousands of service firms and individuals take advantage of Elance as a marketing channel. And Elance actively supports your efforts with aggressive online and offline marketing delivering high volumes of traffic.

-- Remember, You Can Win Work 3 Different Ways:
(1) Answer the phone after people check out your online profile and work samples.
(2) Develop pre-priced ‘buy now’ packages that buyers can purchase instantly.
(3) Bid on projects – many buyers post their requirements directly online.

-- Conclusions
Before you dive into Elance you might want to do some digging on the Internet to get a feel for what others have experienced. For instance you might want to find out more about the bid success ratios, the real differences between Basic and Select projects, how many projects will pay you more than $1,500 and so forth.

You can make money on Elance if you know what you are doing, and quite frankly all it takes is a little time and patience. Good luck, and happy bidding!
