Block Spam And Grow Your Income.
When looking for residual income, some of the best opportunities relate to products which have global appeal.
A number of options spring to mind which are internet related. These include ISPs (you need one to get on the net), Web Hosting (you really need this to market yourself) and spam (you get this as you get more popular.
Thinking about spam there are a number of ways to combat it.
- You can get a spam filter on your computer. This will “learn” what is spam and what isn’t, this gradually filtering out the suspect stuff.
- Use your web host or ISPs filters.
- Use a challenge system. This only allows emails through that are either on your “whitelist” or which have been manually verified by the sender
The last option has some appeal. Learning systems get it wrong, they never quite “tune” properly. Challenge systems are black and white. If the email is legitimate it gets through, otherwise it doesnt.
Spam is a global problem. There is a opportunity here to help people with a genuine problem and make a little money at the same time.
SpamArrest is a whitelist/challenge based spam blocker. It also has an affiliate program which pays residuals for those who signup as a result of your marketing efforts.
There are other companies which offer similar functionality. They ask the individual to confirm details multiple times. Each time trying to sell their product. Spam Arrest does it just once - I prefer it this way because my friends dont want to be pestered each time they email me. Once is fine - more often is too much.
