How I Started Making $7,500 a Month by Working from Home Online.

Hi, my name is Robert Paulson. I live in Los Angeles and this is how I went from working over 40 hours a week sunk in debt, to working from home making $7,500 a month. Here’s how I did it:

Like a lot of people these days, the company I was working for was feeling the effects of the economy. I lost my job because my company decided to downsize and I needed to find a new way to pay my bills and support my family. I’ve never been interested in any type of get rich quick scheme, I was looking for a real home business opportunity. After a lot of searching, I found two online opportunities and now I’m making more than I did at my old job. Basically I make between $5,000 and $8,000 a month by working at home for Google. I only work a few hours a day, it doesn’t take a lot of computer skills and I don’t have to try to sell anything. Too good to be true right? That’s what I thought at first, but these two programs have really changed my life. Both programs are free, all I had to pay was the $3 shipping costs and now I’m on a road to riches.

My Old Ride

My New Ride
This is my new ride!

Here are the links to the two programs that got me started:

Step 1 - Google Home Business Kit - $1.99 shipping cost

Step 2 - Google Marketing Kit - $3 shipping cost

Cheque I got from Google

Above is a picture of the check I got from Google back in December.

It only took me a day to get started with the Google Home Business Kit and I got my first check after a week. I’m still surprised at how easy it was to set up. I’ve always been okay with computers but never considered myself an expert. I mostly used my computer for checking my email and surfing the web. I was a little nervous about setting up an online business but the kit was straight forward and so easy to use, I didn’t need to ask anyone for help.

After I saw how easy it was to set up and run the Google Home Business Kit, I figured I could double my income by working with a second Google program, and it worked! The Google Marketing kit was a little tougher to use but pretty easy to figure out since I had already been running the Home Business Kit.

My Full Story

I was working as an accountant for a processing factory. I wasn’t in love with my job but it paid the bills. Unfortunately, like many companies around the country these days, mine started downsizing and I ended up losing my job. At first I was devastated, I didn’t know how I was going to support my family. What I didn’t know at the time was that this was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was really worried about how I would pay the bills and take care of my two kids Josh and Jordan. My wife had quit her job when we had our second son Jordan, so without my income I had no idea how we were going to get by.

I knew it would be tough to find another accounting job quickly with the economy the way it is, so I started looking for advice from my friends who run their own businesses. I ended up getting in touch with an old friend of mine from college named Sean who had been running his own work from home business for a few years. He was the one who told me about the Google Home Business Kit. Sean told me how he had started using the program to work part-time from home while he was still at his old job. He ended up quitting his job after a few months because he found out he was making more money on his own with the kit. After he quit and started spending more time working from home, he was making between $5,000 and $10,000 every month depending on how many hours he wanted to work.

At first, I was a little unsure about using the kit and working from home because I’m not exactly a computer whiz and I thought it would be complicated. I was also worried that it might just be a scam, but I had been friends with Sean for years and thought it was at least worth a shot if he was using it. Plus, the Google Home Business Kit was free, all I had to pay for was a $1.99 shipping charge so I figured I had nothing to lose. I’m so glad I took his advice because I made close to $5,000 in my first month and now I’m making close to $7,500 every month!

The 2 Steps I Took On My Road to Riches

Free Grant!Like I said before, I was a little intimidated about starting my own online business. I’m not exactly an expert with computers but the kit was really easy to use. The home business kit was also free (only a $1.99 shipping and handling fee). I wasn’t sure about sending away for the kit but I trusted a name like Google (everyone has heard of them) so I tried it out. Within just a few weeks of working from home I was making more money than I ever did with my degree and I only had to work 20 hours a week! I really like working from home because:

  • I make my own schedule
  • I’m making more money than I was before
  • It was easy to get started and simple to use
  • I got my first check within a week

RobertAfter a couple of months, I was really comfortable using the Home Business Kit and I was making about $5,000 a month. I was working less than 20 hours a week and I figured that if I found another similar program, I could easily start making even more money. This Marketing kit is a little more advanced than the Google Home Business Kit but with my experience using the first kit, it was simple to learn. It was still easy enough that I could have learned to use this kit first. The Google Marketing kit helped make make an extra $2,500 a month and I was only putting in 5-10 extra hours of work a week.

How to Get Started

The advice I got from my friend Sean changed my life. I probably never would have started working from home unless I lost my job, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take advantage of these programs. It only cost me the $3 shipping cost to get the kit and get started. If you are tired of working long hours for little pay and want more time to spend with your family and friends, you should try out at least one of these kits.

Step 1 - Google Home Business Kit - $1.99 shipping cost

Step 2 - Google Marketing Kit - $3 shipping cost

Hopefully you have as much success as I did.

Sincerely,

Robert Paulson

I’ve added a clip of President Obama talking about a stimulus package for the people. Click the play button to watch it below.

I recently found out that the Obama government has introduced a stimulus package for people who have their own home business. Like all the big corporations out there who are getting handouts, since I’m working from home, I now qualify for a bunch of Free Government Grants that are a part of the stimulus package. Here is the Grant Kit that I used to apply:

Free Grant Kit

The grant kit is free, all I had to do was pay a small shipping and handling fee. It should be worth it considering that I will probably get at least $5,000 in grant money for my home business. It’s good to know that even though all these corporations are getting a bailout package, that it’s available to the public too. I’ll continue updating my blog posts and let you know how it works out.

I’ve always wanted to be my own boss and when I saw your blog I knew this was my chance. I’ve been using both the home business kit and the marketing kit for a month and a half now and I’m making a killing. Here’s a picture of a check I got from Google.

Hi,
Your story is very interesting and motivating. Am a single mother, have a fulltime job and a fulltime student and am always broke. Hopefully when I do try this, I will be at a better position to take care of my son and myself and have plenty of time to spend with my son.
Tanks for the information.

I found this site and I familiar with the program. I have been already working with Google much the same outside of the network. This is really true of this site and want to join and build the links I need to get people connected. I did get a chance to test out some of these paid programs and they do actually work. This is affordable and helps up start your own business. Been already mareketing for two years now. You have to find a way to get people to see what you see and many are already taking advantage of this opportunity. Seek and learn and make wise choices. You will learn much quicker that you could imagine. If your using a computer daily to just do research or connect with family, try developing a new start with the Google Kit. It helped me get started. Yes it will work for those who reside outside of the United States. But it’s always good to ask first what regions are acceptable.

I saw your blog a couple months back and thought I’d try these programs out. Just wanted to let you know how thankful I am. I just got this check from Google for $7,000. I’ve really got the hang of posting links and I’m pretty sure I can make even more. Thanks for changing my life!

Hey, first off I will just like to congratulate you on your recent success. I dont know you but you have to be a person with a lot of goodness in your heart. Reason for saying that is, many people have information and refuse to share it with friends and family. However you’ve gone beyond with this great information and success story. Like you, I don’t love my job but it pays the bills and fortunatley I’m still employed despite the terrible condition of the economy. I’m going to take a chance and send for the kit even though my time is limited so wish me luck.

I just recently purchased the kit. My question is that I have grown-up kids who are interested in this kit. Could they use my kit to earn money, or do they have to buy there own kit? How would they get paid if they use mine?

I have tried many home businesses, and only a few internet businesses. I was laid off over 7 months ago and it has been rough trying to find a job. I have also received the Google link from Google but was afraid to get caught up in another scheme. I will try this based on what I have read. One thing for sure, it does not cost a lot and I have the time. I am currently in school and the extra money will surely help in more ways than one.
