Hello,
Wow! You really are accomplished, and since you are looking for something presumably to earn money now, I thought I would share this with you .
Depending on how you look at it, now is actually an exciting time. Some of the changes that are taking place in today’s economy will be permanent. If you listen to the news, everyday businesses are closing or downsizing. The High street shops are quite empty, yet Internet businesses are growing. There is security in working on line if you know what to do. I had no prior experience working on line or working from home. I found a company that has taught me how to do both and it has changed my life. It is not a get rich quick scam but I now make more money than my (skilled) husband and still stay at home with my two young children. Do you have a computer at home? Do you have a couple of hours a day? Take 10 minutes to read through the info at NewMaverickMoneyMakersBiz.com The world is changing and this could be your opportunity to change with it and live a life you dreamed of. It’s worked for me. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Jere answers:
1. The heading “Bio guard pest control temporary job” is confusing, probably because you didn’t capitalize the company name, and you didn’t specify your job title. Also, I would suggest putting “temporary job” in brackets.
2. It’s also confusing because “Bio guard pest control temporary job” is formatted differently than your other jobs (i.e. No dates), no astericks, no bullet point symbols. Suggest you change that to make it consistent.
3. What kind of job are you looking for? I suggest you include that in your objective, even if it is general such as “sales” or “customer service representative”. If you would take anything, you could make it even more general by writing something like this: “To obtain a position that will enable me to use my strong sales skills, educational background, and ability to work well with people.”
4. Remember to customize your objective and resume for each position you apply for. Emphasize the parts of your resume that fit what each specific employer is looking for.
Best of luck to you!

Can someone help me how to start earning with Affiliate Marketing?
I read an article who mentioned affiliate marketing as one of the best ways on how to earn online. I am looking for a tutorial or anything that explains me about affiliate marketing. Thanks in advance.

Learn Affiliate Marketing – 3 Tips on Promoting Other People’s Products
Many people decide to learn affiliate marketing when beginning to make money online. This is a great way to begin, as you are simply promoting other people’s product, and usually earning a nice commission for doing so. With affiliate marketing, you don’t have to deal directly with customers and you can get your feet wet into the world of marketing before moving on to create your own products.
Below are 3 tips that can help you learn affiliate marketing in order to do it correctly.
Do your Research
You should not enter a niche or promote a product blindly. To have the most success in affiliate marketing, you must know how to thoroughly research a market to determine its needs. Market research will show you what niches contain desperate buyers ready to pay for an answer to their problems. Keyword research is also important in creating content and getting traffic to your site. If you just write articles and blogs with no keywords, how is anyone supposed to find them?
Avoid Direct Linking
Unless the product you are trying to sell has an extraordinary sales page that converts like hotcakes, you should not try to direct link. Direct link is where you include your affiliate link (or a domain forwarded to your affiliate link) in the resource box of an article. Creating a landing page and linking to it will allow you to “pre-sell” your visitor by giving them more information on the solution to their problem.
Affiliate Marketing can be Done for Free
Some people will tell you that you should dive right into Pay Per Click advertising if you want to make money, but this isn’t exactly true. While PPC is a great moneymaker, you can also lose a lot of cash if you do not do it correctly. It is recommended that you learn affiliate marketing using free methods when first beginning, in order to have money to reinvest in tools and programs that can help teach you the paid advertising aspects that you can incorporate in the future. Article, video, and forum marketing are three ways you can begin making money from other people’s product absolutely free.
Ken asks…
How do I get direct contact with major corporations with my patented invention?
The invention is a breakthrough in digital technology. No one has been able to achieve this before. Its usage covers many aspects including IT, telecom etc applications. This is a very important technology for the digital age and all companies will be very interested in acquiring it. Be able to establish direct contact with major corporations will eliminate agents and potential scams during the process.
Jere answers:
Participate in Industry Events like Trade Fairs, Technical Seminars, etc. Also write a small Article in a Trade or Technology Journal, discussing the problem your invention solves or the Advantage it confers on the user. Make no mention of the Patented aspects of the Invention, but give sufficient hints that you have patented the solution and that Industry leaders are welcome to discuss modus Operandi for commercial explotation of the Patent. Since the critical areas are already patented , you can think of developing the commercial model and commence trial production for Test Marketing. This would help you to seek Venture Capital as an alternative to Partnership with the Giant corporations or outright selling off of the Rights. Ideally, you should sell the Rights only after a commercial profit of significant high proportion gets booked. It will give you far more bargaining power and fetch better price.
