Work from Home Jobs

Work from Home Jobs have become increasingly popular. the video below gives 11 websites that pay daily? Watch the video, and then read about these jobs below. Most of these jobs I have tried already and I explain my experience with these work from home jobs

I am going to go through these work from home jobs or side hustles in the order that she talks about them. There is a couple I do not know about, so I will not comment on those jobs, however I will note a common tactic that is used at the end of the article. I will say this much now, beware of data collection tactics.

Mystery Shopping

Mystery shopping does not pay well at all, by the time you go do the shop and spend time there completing the task, file the report , and wait for acceptance of the report you have a few hours invested plus gas or trip money you will be making only a couple dollars an hour. You also must wait for your money (15-60 days) depending on the pay cycle and company. I know this from experience. The most I ever made in a week was a little over 90 bucks, then had to wait to get paid. If you can do a few every week, you will be able to see a weekly pay in about 30-45 days, by then you are disgusted spending time and money and no pay or reimbursements if you are required to make a purchase.

UpWork

I have been a member of UpWork about 6 years and, never got any work from them. Fivver is pretty much the same, and same results. I am a formally educated Professional Writer and and a member of the IAPWE | International Association of Professional Writers & Editors.

The competition is fierce when it comes to writing. There are those in other countries that will write for pennies, they don’t need to make the kind of money that Americans need to survive, let alone make a decent living. It’s only going to get worse as automation makes it easier for the uneducated.

Handy or Angi

Handy is now Angi. I have made money from that app because I am skilled in home repair, and the money was not bad. Now they don’t have much work, and the pay is not worth the drive to some jobs.

When it comes to some of these work from home jobs or side hustles, you will be required to sign up for different things. They are making money off your information. Please allow me to explain. They pay you a few pennies to sign up and try an app or site. Your information like name, address, email, and phone number are collected and organized by demographics and other factors. This data is used to market to you and others. It’s complicated but every app you install on your phone is collecting information. Basically you are selling your information for pennies. This is an old hack used by marketing companies to collect data on the things you buy.

Below is a list of Basictech Website Optimization Services we offer here at Basictech Information Services LLC. This goes beyond SEO, and can increase your page rank.Basictech Website Optimization Services

We will work closely with you to resolve issues, and maximize your business potential at an extremely affordable rate using a little known or often ignored technique to boost online presence.

The whole world is now literally in the palms of your hands, so why not capitalize on this opportunity to capture more customers?

Build a Website or Blog

In today’s business world, it is not enough to just have a website or blog. When people search for products or services, they go directly to the internet. Is your business being found?

I know it may be a little hard to believe, but there are still plenty of businesses that do not have a website or blog. Also, some may have a website, but it is not up to date and is just sitting in cyberspace never to be found.

The reason any website gets drowned in the sea of internet searches is lack of content and attention. You must keep your website up to date by updating and adding new content.

Why is Your Website Not Being Found?

There are several factors that come into play when it comes to getting found on the internet, much less getting to page one.

We hear a lot talk about SEO (search engine optimization) but there is a lot more to it, and the implications can have a great effect on your business in positive or negative ways.

Here are just a few things that can help, or hurt your web presence.

  • Domain and domain age
  • Regular updates
  • Backlinks and broken links
  • Page loading time
  • Quality relevant content posted regularly
  • Social media
  • Business listings

These are just a few factors that Basictech Website Optimization Services can help you with having a good internet presence and attracting customers.

Basictech can perform an audit on your website according to Google standards. We also have a software program that can search your site for errors. Errors can have a dramatically negative effect on your website search ability.

Is Your Website Mobile Friendly?

I am listing that one question first because of the extreme importance of having a website that is compatible with mobile devices.

This is pretty obvious given the fact that almost everyone has a mobile phone with internet access in their possession.

If your website or blog is not easily accessible, or easily read on a mobile device, then you are missing out on potential customers.

Why is Website Content Important?

Whenever someone searches for anything on the internet, they are looking for useful information, so website content is extremely important.

There are 2 main reasons for this:

  1. If a person goes to your website and is able to read valuable information on the resolution of their problem, then they will stay on your site longer. This tells Google that you have relevant content, and will in turn increase your page rankings.
  2. Good quality relevant content also builds trust. As business people, we know that building trust is top priority in getting and retaining customers or clients.

Bad grammar, spelling, and poor content can hurt your business. How can anyone be expected to trust that you are an expert in your field if your content is loaded with grammar and/or spelling errors?

Poor content is also a factor. We all know how frustrating it is to search the internet for information and waist valuable time sorting through all the generic articles with poor grammar and limited information leading to a bunch of sales crap, or trying to get your email address so they can spam you later.

Reputation Management

It is a known fact that people are more likely to write a complaint than a good review. It is basic psychology based on emotions. When people are happy with a product or service they will tell friends and family, but if they are unhappy, or feel cheated in any way, they want to scream it from the rooftops.

As business people, we know that there are some people that you just cannot please. Then there are those that are just trying to get something for nothing, and they will go to great lengths to get it.

Competition is also a threat. There are a lot of competitors that pay people (outsourcers) to write bad reviews on the competition. As a trained Investigator, I can identify and deal with these unscrupulous competitors.

Bad reviews and posted complaints can hurt your business significantly. We at Basictech know how to deal with this and can have your reputation restored in a short amount of time.

Is Your Website Monetized?

Website monetization is generating income through advertising of other products or services on your website.

There are many ways to monetize your website, and anyone that has a website or blog needs to have it monetized. If you are not monetizing your website, you are leaving money on the table.

This is something that can be discussed in you initial free consultation and website review.

Basictech Website Optimization Services can increase your bottom line with some very cost effective methods to land you more customers. Call us today for your free consultation (614)636-2184, or use the form below.

5 High End Career Skills

5 High End Career Skills You Need for Success

In the video below, Dan Lok explains the 5 High End Career Skills that one needs in order to secure high paying clients.

Below the video is the comment I posted.

I have all 5 of these high end career skills, including formal education and experience in these skills. My problem is finding the clients, especially the ones that are willing to pay the money. I have been doing this a long time, yet struggle.

If a company has not already hired a “firm”, I hear things like, “my wife takes care of that”, or some other relative they cannot get off their couch.

In today’s world, everyone is a marketer. Just because they took some on line course, or got involved with an internet based company, they are experts.

I am not saying they are no good, only that they have driven the prices one can charge way down.

Then there are the outsources. You know, the content mills that crank out articles for pennies, and sites like Fivver where people will do anything for 5 bucks. These places can be useful to consultants, just be prepared to get involved because you get what you pay for.

5 High End Career Skills and Sub-Skills

Along with these 5 high end career skills come subskills.

Quality content writing, and SEO Services are important sub-skills. You can hire the work out, but you must know what you are paying for.

Here’s the thing; we must market ourselves, and advertising is key. The trouble for me has been finding the clients that are willing to pay an amount that makes it worth my time, let alone anything extra to pay for advertising so I can get more clients.

I have reverted to the old fashioned way of door knocking. It is very effective, but extremely time consuming. I am old school (53), and cell phones are a huge pain in the ass. Deal breakers in any business meeting with a busy person, however, busy people are the ones that can and will pay you.

Basictech Business Services

Here at Basictech Information Services LLC we offer a wide variety of business and consulting with affordable business solutions.

If you are struggling with the 5 high end career skills and sub-skills, we do give free consultations. Just ask in comments below.

Be sure to sign up with your best information so I can reach you and schedule a consultation. Don’t worry, we will not spam you, nor sell your information.

Quality Content Outsourcing

quality content outsourcing

 

 

Quality content outsourcing nightmares can occur when you depend on a non-native English writing outsourcer to write your content.

Outsourcing content without even checking it can spell disaster for your business. Below is a perfect example.

I just finished writing a product review for a crappy product, (200 Cash Hack), yea, they’re hacks alright, but that is not the purpose here, so on to the example.

After writing and posting the article, I decided to do a Google search to see if anyone else has written the truth about this product yet.

On the first page of Google, I came across this article;

(Please keep in mind that this is NOT my writing below)

$200 Cash Hack This amazing system will reveal exactly what you need to do straighten your bow legs or knock knees without the need for invasive and dangerous surgery the book that provide you with real solution to this problem.
What Is Exactly Bow Legs No More? $200 Cash Hack Bow Legs No More is a comprehensive step-by-step program is easy to follow, regardless of experience, age or gender. Used by thousands throughout the world with dramatic results,Could that be your quality content outsourcing nightmare?For starters, this program name is wrong, the $ sign is not included in the title, but that is the least of the problems with this article.That article is about bow legs, and knock knees; at first I am thinking that is intentional, but after clicking the links, it is really about the program I just finished writing about.Here’s what most likely happened. Someone took an original article from the program and ran it through an article spinner. Being that they are not a native English speaker, they had no idea the article was just wrong.Judging by the website, because that is the whole review article. There are more tags and links than content. This person has no clue as to what he/she is doing. If they did it themselves, or paid someone, it was a waste. Notice the comma at the end? Yes, that is really the end of the article.Here’s the kicker’ this article made front page of Google. So much for Google’s “improved user experience” efforts that have been a burden to us honest bloggers. I have mentioned this before in some of my videos, and Google is being manipulated.Avoid “quality content outsourcing” scams by hiring a real professional for content creation and SEO. Although these people make the first page of Google through manipulation or accident, they do not stay there long.
