I am a very antsy person and knowing I am going to be laid up for at least 5 weeks after a hip surgery I decided to show people how thousands of other people are using the internet to make money and use social media and Web 2.0 to help.

I issued a challenge to several completely turnkey affiliate or online home programs.  “Can I really make money online and can I do it while lying in bed?” Although I have experience in social media and online marketing I know most of the “on the fencers” don’t so I wanted to make it easy.  I wanted a program that requires less than $500 in start up cash. Hey you are starting a business, $500.00 is cheap.  I want a program that requires little web page making knowledge and that does not base its core on having to recruit others to be successful.  Making money from someone who buys a product and then wants to sell that product as well is fine, but recruiting and matrix type systems were avoided in my search.

I am now down to 6 potential programs.  Once I decide I will start setting up a separate website, twitter account and more so you can see my progress, success or failure “LIVE.”

In the mean time if you have had success with an online or home business and you have used social media to make hit stick even harder, please let me know about it.
