Working from home/advertising

So I would like to get a job where I can work from home through my computer. I have heard of people doing customer service from their computers. I would like to do it on weekends for "MOD" money. My wife says I can't waste money my car so I figure this would be a easier way. Anybody know of any companie that aren't scams? I also heard about mobile advertising. Where you put a sticker on your car and drive around. Any information would be awesome.

Wifey works for a company called Arise doing customer service when the baby is sleeping. She is 1099 and has a lot of freedom with it. Nice extra spending money for her.

My friend Sean paid for his motorcycle while he was still in school by doing customer service from his home computer in his spare time. All you need is a computer with like windows 98 (his is a POS) and they give you a headset and program to install to accept calls and log your hours. Not too much training either. I'll ask him about it and let ya know what he says.

Yes and no. Affiliate marketing is great in theory, in that it displays ads relevant to content, and thus providing a more efficient allocation of advertising funds by increasing the probability that the ad is reaching the target demographic. It's legit in the sense that it can earn you real money.

Unfortunately the reality is that quite often people simply create blogs or websites with a narrow focus for advertising purposes rather than for the purpose of providing a useful resource. Content is re-posted and re-organized from a variety of places, often without authorization, cluttering and damaging search results for organizations who actually originate the content, for the sole purpose of generating ad revenue. There is actually a huge thread on Bodybuilding.com forums about this, which is telling, as the focus of this thread is not how to provide original and usable content, but how to generate views and make pages more appealing to advertisers, thus collecting the commissions for sales in which they had no part in creating.

It's redundant, excess noise. The more and more it gets abused the less and less advantageous it is, until it will get to the point where other forms of spam are. Cheap, quick, and overall ineffective.
