Check out the companies you want to write for
Well, I think everybody would love to make money online. And you can and you will. But, let me just bring up some things of importance for you to consider as you start your quest.
Any company that you may be thinking of writing for or even placing their ads for revenue on your site needs to be checked out very carefully. I am sorry but the truth is there are so very many scammers out there. I once applied for a job online and they asked me for $39.00 to run a security check on me. So I said great, it sounds like there really interested in me and maybe I have the job. They took my $39.00 as fast as they could and that was the end of them!
You should visit many different forum sites and make a note of the ones that have heavy posting. This would indicate a lot of informed readers with lot of vast knowledge about all kinds of different companies.
One forum that I basically use as kind of a little work tool is http://www.wahm.com/forum. It is a really huge site that has been around for years. There is a search button at the top of the screen. Just fill in the company name that you are interested in gathering additional information about. Don’t specify a category and set the dates to all.
You will be amazed at what you can find out about the company that you are interested in. Another good source of information is to just key in on a search bar something like “What is it like to work for XYZ company”. Several times I have done this and peoples blogs come up in the search results that you can click on and read about their experience with the company.
