ViewsHound is a London based company which pays you (via Paypal) to write articles to be displayed on it's site (can be about anything you want as long as it's your own work and not copied from somewhere else).

There are no fees and it pays out cash daily for the best articles/photos/cartoons - site is still quite new so excellent chance of winning the prizes!

So, it doesn't pay you for to write articles, you write articles and might win a prize. Not quite the the same as being paid to write, more like entering competitions and claiming you get paid to write.

Before anyone tries this site, they should know it has only been going a month, claims to be a company in London but is owned by a bloke in Berlin. Well I say a bloke, but

Registrant:
S Bisse
Niederwallstrasse 33
Berlin, 10117

could be a woman.

....Hi, would just like to add my 2 penneth...I'm new on here and have just found out this morning that i have fallen foul of a "work from home" scam. Basically signed up for a one off payment of £1 for details on how to set up my own website for selling etc.....have now discovered the company has used my bank account details and is taking random amounts of money from my account...so far totalling £40...not a lot, but when you overdrawn to start with, it may as well be £400! The bank say they can't do anything as I initially gave my details over and so is not fraud!!???

I have tried in vain to contact the company and think I may now have to close down my whole bank account in order to stop them accessing my money in future!

Please take care with "work from home" ads....don't be taken in like myself! Beware of companies "EWS" and also "NETHOSTASSN.COM"

Lipping hope you get your money back, just shows you have to be very careful many of these sites that claim to be work @ home are scams, not all are but many are

That site you've seen is not my main site. In fact I have few others sites. I'm only using it to test some SEO techniques which work very well. That long post I've written explains something that works and if you're interested knowing how to make money online then you should take it seriously.

I found your post very interesting. My son has recently got involved with affiliate marketing and I have been very worried about it as I cannot get my head around how it works and more importantly - is it legal? Are there pitfalls?
Although I'm fairly computer literate, this is all new to me. Do you know of any simple websites that would explain it to me - a Dummies guide to Affiliate Marketing type site. I would be very interested to read up on it.

Sorry should say thanks to everyone else as well - just I never spotted the blatant self advertising and the low post score

Oh, guess I'm gullible too - just thanked the post for its advice!

Affiliate marketing is fine - in it's normal, everyday form, it consists of developing a website developed around a niche idea or a product, say bouquets of flowers for example. You develop this site all around bouquets of flowers.

The more informative the site, the better your chance of getting visitors. You add links to companies that run an affiliate scheme, such as the made up company Power Flowers (all the well known flower companies actually have affiliate programmes). For every person that clicks on a link on your site and buys something from the business the link belongs to, you earn commission.

People have made a hell of a lot of money from affiliate marketing, although people got really stupid, doing one page sites just full of links about a particular product or topic. The best affiliate sites these days are difficult to identify as such. They tend to have good subject articles, blogs, high quality affiliate links etc.

As for peter25k well, all I can see from his post is that he does practice what he preaches. He suggests making passive income from informative ebooks and from looking quickly at his advertised site, I can only think that actually, this is what he is doing. This is a bit different from affiliate marketing.
