Its not just a matter of cut and paste, like can be done with one line links. That's was the extent of my "link" ability. However, if you want those colourful buttons or banners, you have to make sure you are in HTML mode on your Blogger posting page.
Usually, for regular entries, you'll be on, or at least you should be on, the Compose tab. I wasn't and was having an awful time. I couldn't find my "link" icon at all.
Fortunately the good people at Google helped me figure that all out. So, I went into my Edit HTML tab when I was posting, and cut and pasted the link from the appropriate affiliate, then, I pasted the HTML code in the body of the posting, then clicked on the link icon, just above in the tool bar.
For those of you who are really new at this HTML is "hyper text markup language". Helpful, huh?
Here's a definition: A markup language used to structure text and multimedia documents and to set up hypertext links between documents, used extensively on the World Wide Web. (Thanks to Answers.com)
*Shrugs* I don't know either, but it basically means you can get those fancy buttons and those fancy buttons will connect the clicker with the affiliate website! YES! Working from home should be bringing in an income, one day!!

What About Surveys? Is That A Good Work From Home Opportunity?
It depends on who you ask and your own personal situation. If you haven't tried them, I encourage you to give it a try. If you happen to be of the right demographic, you can do very well.
I am not much of a consumer. A lot of surveys, at least that I have come across, ask about the cereals you buy and this or that processed or pre-cooked groceries you buy. I rarely purchase things like cereal bars and I"m not much into alcholic beverages. I might enjoy an Irish Cream every so often, but beer, yech!
I also do a lot of driving, so if I'm visiting, and am offered something, I usually decline, even though I happen to enjoy that particular cocktail, because I don't even want a drop of alcohol in my bloodstream if I have to drive.
I also think that my age group may be over represented. Younger people with families seem to be in demand more than my middle aged empty nester. If my kids were still under 18, I'd be more in demand, but then, I'd be younger too!!!
I've seen SO many opportunities for surveys, so if you think that you would qualify, I'm jealous, but go ahead and give them a try. Here are some links:
OK Folks! Celebrate with ME! I just figured out not only how to put a banner in here, but it wasn't just a fluke! I actually UNDERSTAND what I did!!
Go on! Sign up and celebrate with me! 5 dollar sign up bonus.
My next post will explain what I did!

Scheduling Time-Essential To Success With Web Marketing
Working from home can sometimes make it hard to be disciplined. Making yourself do things when they need to be done, or conversely, not working all night so you don't get the needed rest.
I am instituting a plan of action for my blogging and marketing efforts. I need to allocate x number of hours per week to building my blog, but I also need to market my blog and get it noticed. One without the other won't be much good.
I also am working on a number of microjobs. I like to find ones that pay immediately, rather than make you wait for a certain minimum value. I have found that Cloud Crowd does that. It is a Facebook application that provides all sorts of interesting projects, from very simple tasks such as saying what is in a photograph to more complicated translation projects. If you speak German and English, for example, they are looking for someone to translate some text.
Here is the link, if you are interested. Microjobs on Facebook - No Minimum - Pays As Soon As Job Complete
Naturally, it is necessary to make a schedule. I'm going to spend so much time on this, so much time on that. Right now, I'm writing articles for myLot. I would like to reach a certain payout amount before the end of the month. Mylot is fun. Just be careful to follow their guidelines and you'll get along just fine.
Here's the link for myLot: Free Sign Up - Get Paid To Post - Choose Your Own Topic
There are so many sites that need to be attended to, it seems, for a successful campaign to bring your blog or website out into the light of day. It is also tough when you are getting started, and you need so much time just to get a site up and running properly. I have other ideas running around in my head, but I need to put them on the back burner so I don't get overwhelmed and lose focus.

Piggy Banks and Microjobs - Working From Home May Mean Small Potatoes, For Now
Do you pick up small change if you see it on the street? Do you gather up all the small change in your purse and put it in a piggy bank? Are you pleased when you scrape the bottom of your purse and have enough to buy yourself a coffee?
It seems to me that people who have enough for their needs are often cautious and respect money, even a small amount of it. They don't just do what one family I heard of does. They collected all the small change, of which there was plenty, and tossed it in the garbage!!!
People who save, squirrel small amounts away over a long time and eventually, are able to do amazing things with it. I don't mean being miserly, just frugal and careful. Respect.
When you are starting out with web marketing, the returns will be "piggy bank" change. Truly, any work from home opportunity is probably self employment and any entrepreneur will tell you, you don't make much, if anything at first. You've got to keep on trying and respect that small amount that does come.
That is why the microjobs and the forum posting are good avenues in which to make that piggy bank change.
Don't get discouraged. Keep working away, and who knows how your hard work will pay off in the end!?

Another MicroJob Provider - Facebook!
Not just for chatting with your family any more!
Facebook has a new appliation that allows you to work while you chat. Good idea, I say!. I've been tapping away at a simple task, analyzing photographs, making 2 cents each one, which takes very little time. In no time, I can see my building up a nice little piggy bank of pennies!
Easy to use, and something that can be done easily and quickly.
If you are bilingual, they have some translation jobs available too! Here's the link:

Forums - A Way to Communicate and Network
Online forums are a way for advertisers to be seen.
The forum attracts people who want to chat, learn, greet. They get into interesting discussions and that provides content and traffic for a site. Then, advertisers, seeing the activity and all the potential business, pay to have their advertisements posted on the forum site.
A very successful site that has plenty of users and is very popular is Mylot. Here is a link to it, if you are interested in looking at it.
http://www.mylot.com/?ref=sulynsi
Mylot pays people to post on the forum. Now, if you are going there to make a bundle, stop, because it takes a while to post enough to get paid. Besides, you want to make your posts interesting, informative, quality.
Mylot has strict rules about what is considered acceptable and substandard posting. It means the forum is both interesting and informative.
If you want to join the forum, it costs nothing, and it will pay a little over time, and gives you great networking capability and experience. Why not give it a look and see what you think?

Understanding Web Marketing - HOW Do I Get Paid?
Looks to me like there are a number of ways of working on the net and making a few cents here and there. The real income, though, will come through web marketing.
How? It works on the same principle as flyers.
How does a publisher bear the expense of composing, printing and delivering all those flyers? How does he get paid? Simply stated, ADVERTISERS.
The advertisers see that the publisher's little flyer is distributed to thousands of households. The flyer or the paper has interesting news items, games and gossip to keep people looking for it each and every week. Therefore, advertisers, knowing that sales are largely a numbers game, pay to have their ad printed on the flyer, knowing that somewhere, someone is looking for what they are selling and their ad will get in front of their eyes.
Its a simple, yet clever concept.
