I've really enjoyed working in the area of casual games. I agree with everyone here that says do something you enjoy. I love games. I've had success getting affiliate content and then wrapping my own content around the feeds from the affiliates. But if I didn't enjoy the content, then I wouldn't be able to sustain the business.

I just joined this forum and I am looking to see if I can supplement my retirement income, I don't have much money to invest but I do have plenty of time. I reed quite a few articles that are very interesting but I don't quite understand them, do you have any suggestions?Which program is it that you say it's free and no cost for anything.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Hi Marco,
Let me be among the first to greet you and say welcome to the forum.
It is difficult to understand some of the terminology until it becomes more familiar. It's almost like learning a new language.
Reading is a good way to get started. There are some very helpful free ebooks you can read on the subject of affiliate marketing, etc., that would enhance your understanding and give you a plan of action to follow.
I've noticed a lot of people seem to hop from one thing to another without ever really grasping any of them before they jump into them or making any progress before they jump out.
Perhaps it's a tiny bit necessary to hop in without a full understanding, but it's a good idea to do some decent research into the idea before you take the leap.
The few things I 'tried' in the beginning were hard to understand and follow where they were leading. There was no "aha!" moment. In fact, they seemed rather senseless and left me feeling uneasy. I'm particularly thinking of programs that you sign up to for the sole purpose of getting other people to sign up to them.  Ugh!
Anyway, my suggestion is to do some reading until you feel comfortable enough with a concept to decide to give it an honest effort. Don't expect immediate results, because most things take some time to build a foundation and then reap the rewards.
I think it's fabulous that you are willing to use your retirement time to build an online extra income. If you choose to build a business around a hobby or favorite interest of yours, it won't seem like work at all, but something you really enjoy doing.
Blessings,
Angie

There are MANY, MANY good opportunities that you will find loads of info about on this forum. I have tried LOTs of different MLM's over the years and find for me that the Matrix Systems are the easiest to do and allow you to make some good money. No products you have to buy or sell, no calling unless you chose to. All that is needed is to get the word out about the system. The BEST thing about the Matrix systems is that even if you try and try and still can't seem to get anyone to join, you will get spillover from your upline when they have their people on their first line. And what's even greater is that for most of the matrix's to work and work really well, all you need to get is 3 to 5 people. (one of the ones I am in, you need 3 people, the other you need 5) So, it is so much easier for it to all work because most people can get their 3 or 5 people! Also, if you know your joining under someone who is really doing well, you may not even need to get any, because they will likely get some people for you.
Another great thing about the two systems I am in is the Teamwork! I have personally never been in any kind of business or system that has the kind of teamwork as the ones I am in now, we communicate all the time! One of them that I am in, even have the owner's on Skype most of the time ready and willing to talk to anyone anytime and answerr any questions or problems. Like I say, I have NEVER been in a business or opportunity EVER that I could talk to the owners anytime I want! Sometimes they even give me a "YOU ROCK" when I tell them some of the things I have been doing for the business.
Honestly, you have to find what works best for you and go with your gut! Only you know what you are willing and able to do, I just wanted to throw out there what has worked great for me!

Marco, those are called your signiatures. You can add one if you like. You just go to the top of the page, click on profile and then scroll down till you see the word signiature and then post your link in the signiature box. Now by "links" I mean whatever website you want to promote. It can be your business, your blog, your social network site, anything! Also there are special instructions right under the signiature box where you post your signiature that make your link "clickable" on everything you post on this forum. So, if you do post a signiature with a link, you need to be sure you follow those instructions so everyone can click on your link.

hi Julsy
I noticed under your name there is a link (member)when I click on it it takes me to a page with a bunch of links. Did you wright all all of them? How much time did you spend on your computer to get were you are now? I presume you must be very good at what you do.
Maybe some day you can give me a few hints.
Have a wonderful day
Marco

Hi Happywife
Just so you know my wife is happy too or at least I think she is!!!!
Anyway you have sent me a very good message and suggested I should read E:books and I agree with you but I have joined
My On Line Income System because I think it's a pretty decent program and believe me I am doing a lot of reading, were I get stock somewhat is when they suggest writing an article and embed it in a link, now I have to find out how to do that and it becomes a bit overwhelming and time consuming. But I think I can handle it with the help of the forums.Thanks for your kind message.
Marco
PS.I will read as many E:books and information as I can.

Marco all those links that you see when you click on my member button are links to all the comments on posts that I have made in here. If you click on your member button you will see the links that you have commented on.
As for you figuring out how to write an article, most people are using hubpages.com or squidoo.com You can go to those and check out lots of articles and blogs that people have already made. When you are in the process of making one for yourself, then you can chose the link based on the title you give your article and then that link is what you will use to direct people to your article. I have a rescent blog that I posted on Hubpages, just so you can get an idea of what you will want to do for your own business. I will private message that to you.
I will also say that myself as well as most of the people on this forum enjoy helping each other, but I will say that your upline in the business you joined should also be giving you one on one help and instructions on exactly what to do to make you succeed. I sure do for my people anyway, and I can say that I have gotten OUTSTANDING help and support from my upline as well or I would have quit internet marketing all together. I guess I am just trying to say, if they got you to join, then they should give you all the tools you need to succeed, and if they aren't contacting you and helping you, then I would chose another opportunity. That's just my opinion though.
I hope the best for you!

marcop9: Hi Happywife Just so you know my wife is happy too or at least I think she is!!!!
 Good for you! Usually, the happier the wife is the happier the whole family is.
marcop9: Anyway you have sent me a very good message and suggested I should read E:books and I agree with you but I have joined My On Line Income System because I think it's a pretty decent program and believe me I am doing a lot of reading, were I get stock somewhat is when they suggest writing an article and embed it in a link, now I have to find out how to do that and it becomes a bit overwhelming and time consuming.
Well, if you are happy with the materials you are using, stick with it. Writing an article sounds more difficult than it actually is. Once you know what keywords you are going to write about, here's a simple formula for an article of about 450-600 words.
1. Include the keyword phrase in the Title (bold).
2. Include the keyword phrase in the first paragraph (italics).
3. Include the keyword phrase in the last paragraph (underlined).
If the article is longer, you can include the phrase once or twice more. Also, use variations and/or synonyms as sounds natural throughout the article.
Unless the article is about a "technical" subject and/or to a "technical" audience, just write like you were explaining something to a friend. Imagine they asked you a question like, "What do you know about this keyword phrase?"
Depending on where you use or submit your article, you may be able to include a text link in your article or in a source box at the end of the article.
If you use ezinearticles (which is the most popular), they will tell you exactly what code to use to create a text link to your desired destination. Just be sure to read their guidelines before submitting.
Hope that helps.
Blessings,
Angie

Such is the power of the internet that there is much money to be made if you look in the right places. Don't look for get rich schemes. They don't work. To be successful you have to be prepared to put the work in. Do this and you will see the rewards.
Look for systems that offer quality products, and it is essential that you are offered complete assistance and mentoring. Competition is very high so you need a business whereby you are going to get led in the right direction.

The best home based business or indeed the best job anyone can do should be something that they enjoy.
The more you enjoy it the more likely you are to put in the effort and then get the reward.
Personally, even when I am not working, I still spend hours tinkering on the net, so this job suits me.
If you are looking for ideas, the signatures of those who post on these forums will give you as much variety as you will ever need.

I know the original question was posted months ago but since I just stumbled upon it, I'll still throw my two cents worth in. As stated by many above, the internet abounds with great opportunities. You must simply do your due diligence and find those few opportunities that can truly "pay off" for the hour or so per day you have to dedicate to it. Though rare, I would highly recommend finding an opportunity that marries 1)a REAL consumable product that will be desired and re-purchased over and over each month...a product that the average consumer would WANT even if it didn't have an "opportunity" attached to it...2)find a company with top notch leadership that is dedicated to supporting its distributors...and 3)the compensation plan must have the potential to realistically replace your regular J.O.B. income. I've searched long and hard and tried 20 or 30 different programs over the years and I can truly state that there ARE companys out there that fit these criteria. The best place to start your search is by looking in the signature lines of folks posting here. Hope this helps!
