Can’t Find a Job? Make Money At Home!

Long gone are the days where we could depend on finding a job automatically; or that people could just up and quit a job because they felt they could find something better — whether it was more money or more interesting, better location, people could pick and choose when it came to a job.

Mainly the theory is that if you have different sources of income (for example different affiliate programs), that if one source is not doing so well one month, it won’t matter as much because you still have income from the other sources to tide you over.

Another aspect of this is that some affiliate programs pay lower commissions and only by virtue of sheer volume it adds up to a tidy sum; and/or it is also a good idea having commissions from other sources to create a more substantial income.
