Self-Employment: The best option for ex-offenders
Self-employment is by far the best option for ex-offenders because it automatically removes all the obstacles that ex-offenders face. No interviews, no resumes, and most importantly, NO BACKGROUND CHECKS.
One of the most popular ways to make money today is online, and the easiest way to make money online is through Affiliate Marketing. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it basically means that you receive a commission when you refer someone to a website and that person performs a specific action (e.g. makes a purchase or fills out an online form). You don't need any employees, you don't need to carry any products, and you don't need to process any orders. All you need to do is connect a buyer with a seller and take your cut.
Earning a living online
It may sound difficult if you have no prior computer or internet experience but in reality it's not. Not if you have the proper tools and a solid understanding of how money is made online. In the past, building a website was complicated and required extensive knowledge of computer programming languages. Today, it's a much different story.
There are website companies that allow you to turn any idea into a fully-functioning (profitable) online business for less than a dollar a day. Site Build It! for example, offers a complete website building package that handles every aspect of website development. Not only does it include a domain name (yoursite.com) and a full year of web hosting (where you park your site), it comes complete with the Affiliate Master Course that teaches you how to construct your site from the ground up for the best possible ranking on search engines such as Google and Yahoo!. You'll learn how to create multiple revenue streams for maximum profit, all without having any prior experience building websites.
How to turn your knowledge into online dollars
The main reason people go online is for information. At any given time there are millions of people online seeking information on just about every topic under the sun. Whether its how to make money, how to lose weight, where to go on vacation, or the best way to detail their car. Regardless of topic, it all comes down to the pursuit of information. This is where your website comes in.
Building your website: Go with what you know
Everyone has knowledge of something, and you can take that knowledge and build your website around it. Take "Auto Detailing" for example: If you have experience in this field you can create a site that shows step-by-step how to properly detail a car. You could even imbed a how-to video into the site. As long as the information is accurate and people find it useful you will build trust among your visitors and they will be open to buy the products you recommend. This is how you monetize your site.
Not only can you profit from selling the best car wax on the market but you can exploit the opportunity through upselling: car buffers, car covers, air fresheners, wheel cleaners, etc. You can even provide a link for car insurance and make money every time one of your visitors requests a free quote.
Website Example #2
Another example of how to turn your knowledge into a thriving online business is: Bodybuilding. When you were locked up, you read everything you could get your hands on that had to do with bodybuilding and nutrition. Now you can take what you know and build your website. You can teach people how to get in shape without having to go to the gym and exercising less than 30 minutes a day. You can show 10 different pull-up and dip exercises on a 10-in-1 pull-up bar available through your site for $59.95 and include a 30-day menu of high-protein, low-carb meals at no extra cost. Not only can you profit from the sale of the pull-up bar but you can earn commissions on all the supplements you recommend through your recipes. Recommending informative books and videos can earn you more affiliate commissions. You're only limited by your imagination.
