This is a sincere appeal to those who need to make some money in these difficult times, and who don't have the money to risk on many of the home businesses out there. There are very real ways of earning money from home, and you do not need to risk one dime to do so. But you do need to be willing to put your time at home to good use. And I can show you how.

As an author, my goal is to entertain but also, like any good entertainer, to make people think. To break down old ideas and have us consider something new.

Outside my work as an author, I pay the bills with writing and marketing. But even then, I like the idea of breaking the old model of winning through competition and promoting the model of winning through cooperation. So it's my sincere goal to put my skills to use in helping other people. I am passionate about assisting those who want help and who are willing to help themselves. Those are the people I'll put my time into.

I know how many people desperately need even an extra $50 or $100 a month to help pay the bills, or who could use that money as a night or two out every month that they normally couldn't afford. After taxes, paying for the house, car, insurance, food, etc., an extra $100 would double lifestyle spending for most families.

Yet surprisingly, you can show them how EASY it is to earn that much extra money, and they won't do anything about it. They won't take any action. And no one in his right mind will try to make them. That's why I look for those who are willing to do something with their evenings or weekends to double their lifestyle spending -- to literally make life twice as fun, or to get those bills a little better under control.

Besides writing for pay, I work with several home businesses that I'm passionate about. Some involve an up-front investment, some do not. Some are very cheap. But only ONE is completely free. And that is PeopleString -- a cool e-mail system (video e-mail, self-destructing e-mail, etc.) and social network that pays its users for using it.

I use PeopleString, of course, for my blog now, sharing my general thoughts and specifically sharing info on my writing. This is why I invite all my readers to join PeopleString and follow my blog.

But if you need extra money in your household, PeopleString represents something much more. It gives you access to cash back on your favorite online shopping; it pays members 70% of all ad revenue generated; and most important, it gives you a way to earn money for receiving ads by postal mail (U.S. and Canada), e-mail, and video.

Sharing PeopleString gives you a way to earn even more, but let's say that you NEVER share it. You can still earn in these other ways. I believe that once the Mailbox-Cashbox program kicks into high gear as more advertisers come on board, the average person will be able to earn at least $25/month through their own use of PeopleString. Some may earn more than $100/month, but let's say that you're active and you were able to earn $25. That alone makes a big lifestyle difference to a lot of people.

It might or might not be important to you, but how many people do you know that need that money? Advertisers pay the cost. The people you know pay NOTHING to sign up for PeopleString. They can use the social network and e-mail. Or they can just receive ads and earn from them. Either way, it will make a financial difference.

Now you might have run across other programs showing you the math about how much money you could make with them, but you know that math only works if people sign up. But PeopleString has already shot to one of the top 5000 websites worldwide and top 2000 in the U.S. So in this case, maybe you can trust me about some very conservative math.

Let's say the average person only earned $15/month from their own usage of PeopleString -- I believe this is VERY conservative. And let's say that they shared it with only TWO other people who really liked the idea of risking nothing and earning money. And everyone on the team did the same thing.

In this case, someone would have more than 100 people whose usage they were getting paid on -- a little over 2%. If everyone earned $15 from their usage, more than $1500 would be generated by the team. And the person who built this team BY ONLY REFERRING TWO would earn an extra $30/month from that team.

That's an extra $15/month PLUS $30/month for a total of $45/month for using the system a little bit and referring just TWO PEOPLE who did the same thing through six levels of referrals. This is something doable by ANYONE. There is not one person you know who cannot achieve this just by sharing with people they already know.

Look how popular Facebook is. EVERYONE does social networking. EVERYONE e-mails. Most people would WELCOME a program that pays them for doing the things they already do online.

If you want to get more ambitious and earn something meaningful with this, however, this is where I can help you. I welcome every new team member with a letter that not only shows how to start earning your own income, but also how to AUTOMATE most of the process of getting others to build your team. I can show you how to use the internet to market the business. I can help you to grow a big, big team. I personally introduced almost a person a day in my first month. It is not hard!

Understand that if you did the same thing shown above, but instead each person referred just 3 others through 6 levels, your team would exceed 1000 people and $15,000/month in personal earnings. At about 2%, you would earn more than $300 a month, and you have STILL done very little. Get a little more ambitious, PeopleString CAN become a full-time income.

But it all comes down to you. Do you have a NEED for extra money? Do you know OTHERS with that need? Do you have any interest around PeopleString? Do you like the idea of not having to risk any money? Are you willing to put in the time? (Even if that just means finding two friends who will get active.)

If this appeals to you, go ahead and join PeopleString. There's no risk, and you can just quit if you don't like the system. But if you need extra spending cash, you'll love how easy it is to earn, and I bet you'll want to share it. And of course when you join, I'll show you the tools I have in place to help you spread the word.

Thanks for reading this through. I hope you appreciate the opportunity it represents.
