For those who aren’t into starting businesses, the internet has a host of “Get Paid To” websites that promise to pay money for activities like surfing the internet, filling out surveys, reading e-mails and clicking on ads.

Those well versed with the internet advise you to be wary of illegitimate ones; the problem is, it’s often difficult to tell them from the legitimate set-ups. The problem is that “Get Paid To” sites can be opened by their often anonymous operators extremely cheaply and may fold before you earn any cash. Some sites try to sell extras such as “gold” membership upgrades. If the site is legitimate. That might increase the rewards; if it’s not, you might not see your money again.

Find out how long these “Get Paid To” companies have been around. Google the company and go to regulators websites to see if any complaints have been lodged against them.

There is a websites that pays for reviews of items, depending on how often the reviews are used in making a decision.

There are bonuses when members you have referred have written a review and you get a portion of their earnings as well.

It’s possible to earn about US$100 for writing 20 reviews. For non-US citizens, some websites requires a balance of at least US$100 before cheques can be redeemed.

“Autosurf” is another popular method to Get Paid To. The premise is that you make money by watching online advertisements. But experts advise caution.

There are many of these sides, but many don`t last long. People can make money by just opening the browser and let the system rotate the ads automatically. You can make money by topping up your account and referring friends to sign up but you never know when the system will collapse.

You start with a “free” account with US$10 as an account level. You earn 1% of the amount of your account level, so a “free” account earns you US$0.10 for one surfing session. Do this every day for a month and you would get US$3.

The way to incerase this slow way of earning money is to buy “upgrades”. Upgrades last for 12 months and are non-refundable. For example, if you put in US$100, you earn 1% of it per surfing session, which comes up to US$1. Requests for interviews to StudioTraffic`s administrator were unsuccessful.

“Get Paid To” options are legitimate, but that spending your time reading emails or watching ads is a waste of time. You may make a bit but it`s not a businesses. If you have a website that has a companies doing surveys and you charge for the list or you an affiliate with such a website, then yes, that`s a businesses.
