33,000+ Work from Home Opportunities

Wednesday November 12, 2008
I've been contacted by Carl Forsell, President of Connections Planet asking me if I could help get the word out about his multiple work at home opportunities. After checking out this work from home opportunity I've decided to publish an article about it as some of my readers might be interested. In fact, the idea has prompted me to add a new category for Work from Home Opportunities on About Home Business. Hopefully, this will just be the first of many.

Connections Planet is a recently launched news and information site that provides its visitors with in-depth information about local communities. Each community is organized on the website by zip code. Each zip code will have its own sub-site on Connections Planet consisting of 15 pages, including information on the community's schools, churches, health care, sports, business news and more. The host of each sub-site is referred to as a Zip Code Manager, which is the work at home opportunity that Connections Planet offers.

Zip Code Managers for Connections Planet are not employees - they are independent contractors. As long as they stay within Connections Planet guidelines, they can pretty much write about whatever they want and do the work whenever it's convenient. As you can imagine, there are thousands and thousands of zip codes across the USA (over 33,000), so many Zip Code Mangers are needed. The only real requirement is that you display an interest in making your community a better place to live and that you actually live within the zip code you will represent. Nearly all zip codes are available at this time.

No investment is required to become a ZCM with Connections Planet. If you think you can sell online ads ($25 per month seems very low cost for advertisers, especially as the site's traffic grows), this might be a chance to get in on the ground floor and make some extra money. It stands to reason that the better the job you do on your site, the more visitors you'll attract, which in turn will attract more advertisers and result in more income for you.

This work from home opportunity profile includes a link to a PDF document with more information on being a ZCM for Connections Planet. Included are sales tips, ZCM content guidelines and a sample contract.
