Want to make money online? What are those sites all about and do they work?
So by now if you’re actively on the internet you’ve undoubtedly come across one of these “make money quick online” ads. Ads that have slogans such as, “How would you like to earn over 1,000 dollars an hour?” Well everyone you can make money online but unless you’ve been working at it for a while or have sunk a lot of money into it, you will not be making one thousand dollars an hour. Yet it is quit possible to make a nice income from these online sites.
Let’s take a look at some of the make money online sites that are out there. Out of all the hundreds of thousands of make money quick sites there are two main sources of these types of sites. One would be the very popular, “Take Surveys Make Money Fast,” sites that are all over. While the other would be the site referred to as, “Paid to Click,” or “PTC,” sites. Once you discover these sites you’re going to be intrigued. Even if you’re a millionaire taking surveys for 100 dollars an hour doesn’t sound bad huh?
The first and probably most popular type of make money site would be the take survey sites. These sites are known notoriously for being scams. Online reviewers have studies them and most find about 171 scam sites to every 3 legitimate sites. If you’re willing to take risks with these types of sites follow these guidelines
· Make a new email probably on yahoo.com an easy free to make email to use to signup for these sites. You will get a lot of spam in your email so make a new one for it all to be sent to.
· Always find a site that pays online and doesn’t require your address or any other extremely personal information.(Street address, credit card numbers etc)
· Never pay to activate an online paid survey account. Some advertise things such as pay $25 to sign up and receiver a 50 dollar bonus into your account immediately after signup. Why not just pay me 25 dollars to sign up and we call it even?
Those are just a few basic guidelines to follow as well as using basic common sense. Some sites offer and appear to have incredible deals. I remember signing up for one site that paid you 10 dollars for writing a 3 sentence paragraph on what you thought of certain sites. The catch was that you had to have at least 75 dollars to receive the money, and you stopped receiving survey once you reach 70 dollars. They offer a referral system,(Get paid to signup your friends) I happened to get up to 75 dollars before my account was mysteriously deleted for “Illegal Activity.” While some sites are legitimate and you actually earn your money back after taking one survey there are hundred that claim the same thing and do not follow through. So before you sign up or put money into one of these sites, do your homework, research the site. An easy way is to find the site decide if you like the look of it then go to Google and type in (site name) scam? For example if you were looking for a site called Google being a scam you would type in “Google scam?” Look for links with that name and read them and see if other people have the same problems that the poster does. If there are several counts of mishap on the site forget it it’s a scam. If there just one person on there complaining with a ton of people praising it its possible the site just had a glitch with one persons account. No one is perfect and no site doesn’t have at least a few flaws.
What about those “Paid to Click” sites you mentioned earlier? Well let’s check them out now. I have personally had good experience with these types of sites. While there still are a ton of these sites that are scams just like the survey sites, there is definitely a lower percentage of mishap on these sites. Why? Well because looking at the business plan makes it seem very legitimate. On survey sites they claim that companies unload billions to their sites to have us take surveys to improve their products. A company would never give up more than a few million for market research on that sorry. On “Paid to Click” sites however the plan is simple and makes sense. Online companies and other “PTC” sites pay these sites to post their ads. Well why would they want to post their ads on that site? Well because they pay people anywhere form 0.5-2 cents for clicking on these ads and viewing them for 20-30 seconds. Now I know your asking… 2 cents at the most? For 30 seconds of my time? Why should I bother what a waste. Well you’re right if your going to just go to the site and click then you wont be making much money considering you’re only getting about 10-30 ads to click on a day. So how are people making thousands of dollars a month off of these sites? Those success stories that I read were just fakes huh?
Well actually no. Almost every paid to click has what they refer to as “The Referral System” What’s the referral system? Well it’s a system that allows you to sign up friends or even random strangers and get rewarded for it. What kind of rewards? Well most offer you the same thing as you personally clicking on links you get about 0.5-2 cents per ad your referral’s click on. So simple math tells you that if for example you sign up 500 people and they all click on 1 ad per day you get 5 dollars a day for doing nothing, but remember if there’s ads there you’re not going to click just one. You get referrals by going into your profile or somewhere that coordinates with it on the site and finding the “referral link.” Also most sites have the option to buy referrals. Meaning that if you sign up onto the site without someone referring you. You can be “bought” and when you click the person who bought you as their referral will receive the 0.5-2 cents per click you make. So if you read about a site and someone posts a referral link, like I will do with my favorite PTC site at the bottom, before you say hey I don’t want this person to make money from my work just remember… That person took the time to tell or post about the site with his referral link sign up with him as your referral because if you don’t your referral will be bought within probably a week and you’ll be working with someone who earned your referral with his PayPal account rather than his promoting schemes. Also on these sites you can upgrade your membership. They can range anywhere from 10 dollars for a year of upgrade to 100 dollars for a month of it. Upgrading gets you special things such as:
· More money per ads you click and view
· More money per ad your referral’s click and view
· More Ads to view
· Discounts on site merchandise if the site offers site merchandise
· Some sites such as You-Cubez offer odd referral/upgrade rewards and an overall odd site setup.
These sites sound good but you mentioned scam sites for these too. How do I tell which sites are the scam sites? The same steps can be done as searching for if survey sites are scams or not. Google the site name and put “scam?” after it. If there’s any articles anywhere with that name check them out and decide for yourself if the site is legitimate or not. The most notoriously known scam site there is for these type of sites is Bux.To it takes them over 8 months to pay their premium members and if you don’t upgrade to a premium account you will NEVER get paid.
Personally I do not do any survey sites and I do a few “PTC” sites. They are very fun and I am working on building up an army of referrals. So if you’ve read and are interested in joining why not try signing up for the one I dig the most?
my favorite ptc site is www.bux-star.com check it out and if you sign up make sure ot put me in the referral amazingal31 thank you and drop me a line if you signed up please. remember if you sign upa dn dotn refer me and click fo rme someone else will buy the rights to your referral and you’ll be clicking for someone who didnt take the time to tell youa about it
