Weight Loss Contests: Make Real Money Online




Weight loss contests, have you heard of these? Are you looking for inspiration or encouragement to lose weight? Maybe you are a little short of money?
 
 
 
With so many people out of work currently it could possibly be that you are watching more than just your waistline. It is highly likely that you are watching your budget very closely.



So I have some good news for you if you are up to a challenge, and are a little overweight, and possibly looking for ways to increase your income, at least a little bit.
 
 
You can enter online weight loss challenges and possibly win money.


If you are able to enter and win one of these online weight loss contests, then it would be a great way for you to make a little money online and get healthy.


Getting in shape, taking online classes, and making money online all of these are good things to do especially in today's uncertain economy.


Winning cash money for doing something you need to do anyway is always good.
So you may be wondering just how do," you "make money online, or better yet how can you make money doing what you need to do anyway?
 
 
Well first you need to go do a search and see how others have done this. This is exactly what I did a little while ago, and the results were encouraging.


I found I could really make money online either through entering and winning a weight loss challenge. Or by blogging about websites that are having these weight loss challenges, so far I have found two sites that look interesting.


I'll list them at the end, so you can go look at the sites. Also I found on YouTube that there are also weight loss challenges there and people have won money, enough to last most people more than a day or two.
 
 
I have also seen weight loss challenges on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Not all the places I have seen weight loss challenges have any reward other than the knowledge that you have done something good for yourself if you are one of the many Americans who do need to lose a little excess weight.


Weight loss can be challenging all by itself, so any kind of encouragement to get you going in the right direction is a good thing in my opinion.
 
 
Learning how to make money online can also be challenging but based on the growing number of people who are working from home I believe that it is entirely possible to earn a very good income from home.


You just have to find the right online business for you and then you need to market your business, just the same as you would any other business. You have to tell people about what you are doing.


If your writing online, you need to tell everyone you know to go check out your writing, if you have entered a weight loss challenge of some kind, that requires votes to win, then you need to tell all your friends to go vote for you, your family to, even complete strangers. (Be enthusiastic, make people want to vote for you.)



Also encourage others when they tell you that they are doing some kind of online business, because they may be able to help you at some point, especially if they have more online business experience than you do.


Entering online weight loss challenges for cash can be a good way to make some money if you win. And even if you don't win, if you are able to lose weight, that you need to lose and get a little healthier with an online challenge then in my opinion that is great.



If you combine, a weight loss challenge, with going to school online to improve your job skills, and look for paying jobs online, then in a year or so, you may find yourself in better shape than you are today.



In better shape physically and financially, if you are one of the many who have lost jobs due to today's economy you may find that you can do better eventually than you were before you had so much time on your hands.



So get online, look for some online contests, look for paying weight loss challenges if you need to lose weight, look for writing jobs if you like to write or can tolerate writing. If you have a camera with video take pictures and or video, enter photo and video contests.
 
 
 
Life can be challenging but it can also be fun.



Especially if you win big for doing something that you needed to do anyway, but even if you don't win first place, once your healthy you can enter another kind of contest, maybe a marathon.



Who knows if you keep trying you may win many different contests, weight loss contests, writing contests, dancing contests, etc.
 
 
 
Below are some links to a couple of blogs you may find helpful or interesting, possibly inspiring.



Hope you all have a great day. And are encouraged to never give up, even in today's economy you can make improvements in your life.
